Amid the rich and tree enjoyment of all ouf advantages we should not for­ get the source from whence they are derived, and extent of our obligations to the Father of all meroles.

Apart from national blessings, each individual among us has occasion to thoughtfully recall and devoutly reoog- nize the favors and protection which he has enjoyed. Now, therefore, I, Ulysses 8, Grant, President of the United States, do recommend that on Thifirsday, the 25th day of November, the people of the United States, ab­ staining from all seculiar pursuits ind frond their accustomed advocations, do assemble in their respective places of worship, and, in suoh form as mayeeem most appropriate in their own hearts, to offer to Almighty God their ao» kndwledgments and thanks fax all His mercies, and thejr humble prayers for a continuance of Hlwdivine favor, In witness wtyjpeof I have hereunto set my ha»d and caused the seal af the United States to be affixed, D6ne at the olty of Washington, this 27th day of October, ia the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred! and seventy-five, and of the independence of the United States the one hun­ dredth VASXST^ a isiirS. « ITtiea ence Of the heafy snow, whfeiifiHiglti* tie whole dairy region of CetrfMir New York south of the nortttem eotetlea, was ,exceedingly light.

A tin scwdisr, a wooden 3o!!, a tiny wages or a, box of sugar plums betoeiCii wealth | untold to the little innoceuts* Seeing at what small expense their entire happiness and gratitude can be thus assured it is no wonder that at Christ mas tide even poverty stints and robs itself to enrich them. How many a mother In tfoe quiet of her nursery is even now revolving schemes to gladden her children's hearts at the coming festival. To their youthful imagina­ tion Christmas is years and years away in the distant future. Only the moth­ ers know how fast time rolls, and how close It Is. They have checked offtoo many weeks with attendant trials and sorrows, with perhaps here and there a little white headstone, not to know how speedily life vanishes how hrief and neeting its pleasures. They are preparing already from their scanty store, and here we would give them a hint, A few dollars invested in the Golden Drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery whiob has just been preseuted* and is to be drawn upon Christmas day, may win tor them thousands and thou­ sands of dollars--enough net only to gladden the hearts of their children for this Christmas but for many happy ones to eome.
