ee ~ fve b’en countin’ up my plessin’s, I’ve be’n summin’ up my woes But I ain’t got th’ conclusion sum would nat’rally suppose. Why I quit a countin’ troubles ’fore I had half a score, ‘ While th’ more I count my blessin’s I keep findin’ more an’ more. There’s been things that wa'n’t exactly as I thought they’d ought t’ be, And I've often growled at Providence fer not a pettin’ me; But I hadn’t stopped t’ reckon what th’ other side had be’n, So I guess it wa’n’t correct, the way I calkerlated then, Fcr there's be’n a gift o’ sunshine after every shower 0’ tears, And I’ve found a load o’ laughter scattered all along th’ years, If th’ thorns have pricked me sometimes, I’ve good reasons to suppose Jove has hid ’em often from me ‘neath the rapture of th’ rose. So I’m goin’ t’ still be thankful fer th' sunshine and th’ rain, Fer th’ joy that’s made me happy; fer th’ purgin’ done by pain; Fer th’ love of little children; fer the friends thet have be’n true: Hand that’s led me ev'ry threat’nin’ danger through. Fer th’ guidin’ I'm rejoicin’ in th’ mercy that can take my sins away, In th’ Love that gives me courage in th’ thickest of the fray. I am thankful fer th’ goodness that from heaven follers me O! how happy and how thankful I forever ought t’ be. So jest let us count our blessin’s as we’re journeyin’ along, Then we’H find less time fer growlin’, and more fer mirth and song When you lift your eyes t’ heaven earthly shadows flee away— Let us learn this lovin’ lesson as we keep Thanksgivin’ Day. -Ram's Horn. anksgiving dinner, our minds naturaily recur to the time-honored dishes as roast tur- key, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, baked Indian pudding, etc., and our feast never seems quite complets with- out them. It is not always possible, however, to have turkey and some do not care for it. Roast goose, chick- en, duck, pork, or beef may be substi- tuted for it. Another nice dish is “mock duck,” or pork tenderloins baked with a bread dressing flavored with herbs and onions. A menu that is semi-old-fashioned but usually liked is oyster soup, roast turkey with mashed, potatoes, turnips; baked squash, pickles—sweet and sour—jel- lies; a salad, mince and pumpkin pie; fruit, nuts and coffee. It is well to have some kind of light pudding for those who do not eat pie. If oysters cannot be procured, vegetable oysters may be substituted. Cream tomato is a favorite kind of soup. Cooking the Turkey. To prepare the turkey for the oven, split the skin at the back of the neck, take out the neck bone, cut it close to the body. Draw the ¢rop and the intestines; clean and wash thorou 1 fill both crop and stomach cav' with stuffing. Turn the neck skin down under the back; tie a string round and bring the two ends of the string over the wings and tie on the breast. When ready to bake put the bird in the roast- ing pan; add a little water, small quantities of chopped celery, carrots and onions, two cloves and a small bunch of parsley. Baste with the gravy every fifteen minutes. Cook in a moderately hot oven for about two and a half or three hours. The pres- sure of the thumb behind the second joint of the wing will readily break the flesh when it is sufficiently cooked. Take off strings used in dressing be- fore serving on table. After the turkey has been taken out add a little water aru flour to gravy left in pan; boil for a few minutes; strain and remove all grease that comes to the top. Serve in sauceboat. There is danger that the religious significance of Thank g ving Gay may be forgotten. We so soon grow accus- tomed to our blessings that we accept them as a part of the general order of things and natura ly become ungrate- fulful by pure fo g tfulness or indif- ference. But as a matter of fact most things which come to us come by the pure fev r or courte:y of others, and how unworthy do we consider the in- gtate! writs R-v. S. T. Willis in the New York L-d_er. He is one of the most contemptibe characters with which we meet. We con:ider him even uncivil who does not spontaneously say or write “Thark you” for the favo’s and kin’ness shown him by his fellow man. Ard this word of grate- ful appreciztion is n ver lost. Even if it may seem to have no effect upon him for whom it was given, it will | luck. not be lost upon those who hear, nor will its influence be powerless upon him who bestows it. A cultivation of the thanksgiving habit wil make to f[ grow the sense of appreciation, and as a result our spirits will be sweet- ened, our souls enlarged ard the whole [ horizon of life beautified. ‘then the ordinary affairs of l.fe will never more be commonplace; our conditions and surroundings will always appear in a fresh light. This is significant. The man whose family find in him a source of endless delight and joy is one who does not suffer the common relation- ships and the daily iniercourse to be- come colorless and arid. Such a man keeps love alive by cultivating the sentiment of affection. His face, his voice, his deed, makes the o d courses of life brim and sparkie with a full current of tenderne.s and feeling. So it is again with the great artist who sees the common in an uncommon light and clothes the most ordinary objects with beauty and charm. In like manner the rel’gi-us nature dis- closes its presence by the unfailing freshness of its feeling for a‘l rela- tions and seasons and customs and days. It numbers its blessings daily, and daily does it express gratitude be- [ cause it feels deep:y and glidly the weight of its va:t indebtedn-s:. The years may differ g-eatly in the com- forts and biezsizgs they bring, but God’s unbroken bencficenc2 knows no |, divisions of time. His bounty is an | ynbroken eternity. All years, how- } ever hard in the experiences they |, bring, are years of blessedness; it should be ours to re what God sends and to be constant’y thankful. We should thank him who has made us and prese:ved us 2s a nation. Who revealed this continent when the proper time had come, and called to its sheres faith'ul and G_d'y men who believed in Him and in men as His children. Who preserved the national seeds planted in our colonies and united them for liberty and independence. Who made our young nation wise in counsel and strong in def_nse. Who pacifi.d t.e str fes and eradi- cated the jealcuses that separated our states and joined them anew in one indissolublo ucion. i Who has given us the wisdom to es- tablish free schso s and free churches, and has given us brave hearted and clear headed men to sacrifice and toil for the public virtue and peace. Who has given us an open Bible, a risen Chiist, a Icvizg church and a redeeming Ged. Who crcwneth this ye r of with His bcucti‘ul go dn Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and His wonderful works to the ch''dren of men! g-ace Ly 2: nly Ss eS g LG i, s “anys The Thanksgiving Table The table for the Thanksgiving din- ner should be set with the prettiest gla china and silver that the house | affords. Little individual paper cups with frills of orange-colored tissue pa- per, at each place would brighten the table. These are filled with nuts and candies. Name cards are decorated with a bow of orange ribbon or some appropriate decoration as a pumpkin, turkey, autumn scene, flower or leaf or some appropriate quotation sketched in pen and ink or painted in water color. These of course for a family reunion ‘are not necessary, but they serve to make the table decorations more pleas- ing. Gourds hollowed out make pretty receptacles for nuts. Pressed ferns and autumn leaves also add much to the table decorations. Adam should have been a happy man. He had no mother-in-law. i.
