Here in the dense forest I find a collection of Indian wigwams. With belts of wamâ€" pum the men lazily sit o" e skinge of deer, smoking their feath«.ed calumets, or, driven forth by hunger, I track their moccasing far away as they make the forest echoes crazy with their wild halloo or fish in the waters of the still lake. Now tribes challenge, and counâ€" Cil fires blaze, and warwhoops ring, and thiefs lift the tomahawks for battle. After awhile wagons from the Atlantic coast come to these forests. By day trees are felled, and by night bonfires keep off the wolves. Log cabings rise, and the great trees begin to throw tkeir branches in the path of the conâ€" quering white man. Farms are clearâ€" ed. Stumps, the monuments of elain forests, crumble and are burned. Vilâ€" lages appear, with smiths at the belâ€" lows, masons on the wall, carpenters on the housetop. Churches rise in honor of the Great Spirit whom the red men Ignorantly worship. Steamers on the I do not wonder that the Japanese and the Chinese and the Phoenicians so particularly extolled husbandry or that Cincinnatus went from the consulâ€" ghip to the plow or that Noah was a farmer before he became a shipbuilder, or that Elisha was in the field plowing with twelve yoke of oxen when the mantle fell on him or that the Egypâ€" tians in their paganism worshipped the ox as a tiller of their lands. Piltheus, the king, found some rich gold mines in his province, so he turnâ€" ed all the population to digging in the mines. Tillage was neglected, and there came a great famine. One day the wife of the king invited him to a great banquet, and he came in and sat down, and there were pieces of gold in the shape of bread and pieces of gold in the shape of biscuits and pieces of gold in the shape of joints of meat, and the king was disgusted, and he sgald, "I cannot eat this. *"Neither can the people," said his wife most suggesâ€" tively, and then they went back to the tillage. the New Hampshire yeomanry. Amâ€" erican civilisation hath kept step with the rattle of its clevises, and on its la, the mastodon of Egypt and the pine groves of Thessaly.

But now how changed! Severe penalties a&re now threatened against anyone Wwho shall interrupt religious services, and annually, at the command of the highest official in the United States, We gather together for thankegiving and holy, worship. Toâ€"day I would stir your souls to joyful thanksgiving while I speak of the mercies of God and in unconventional way recount the conquests of the plow, the hamâ€" mer and the pen.

It is the of the nation. the east and the id the south and Railroads of fabulous length have been completed, over which western trains rush past the swift footed deer, making the frightened birds to dart into the heavens at the cough of the smoke pipes and the savage yell of the steam whistle. In hot haste our naâ€" tional industry advances, her breath the air of 10,000 furnaces, her song the voice of uncounted factories, her footâ€" step the flash of wheel buckets and the tread of the shaft and the stamp of foundries. Talk about antediluvian longevity! I think the average of huâ€" man life is more now than it ever was. Through â€"mechanical facilities men work so much faster and accomplish so much more in a lifetime that a man I come next to speak of the conâ€" quests of the American hammer. Its iron arm has fought its way down from the beginning to the present. Under its swing the city of Enoch rose, and the foundry. of Tubal Cain resounded, and the ark floated on the deluge. At its clang ancient temples spread their ‘magnificence and chariots rushed out fit for the battle. Its iron fist smote the marble of Paros, and it rose in sculptured Minervas and strutk the Pentelican mines until from them a Parthenon was reared whiter than a palace of ice and pure as an angel‘s dream. Damascus and Jerusalem and Rome and Venice and Paris and London and Philadelphia and New York and Washington are but the long protracted echoes of the hammer. Under the kammer everywhere dwellâ€" ings have gore up, ornate and luxuâ€" rious. Schoolhouses, lyceums, hospiâ€" tals and asylums have added additionâ€" al glory to the enterprise as well as the beneficence of the American peoâ€" ple. Vast public works have been constructed, bridges have ‘been built over rivers and tunnels dug under mcuntains, and churches of matchless beauty have gone up for Him who had not where to lay His head, and the old theory is exploded that because Christ was born in a manger we must always worship Him in a barn. om its natural and total depravity. â€" The thorn and thistle seem to have usurpâ€" ed the soil, and nothing but the rebelâ€" lion of the plow can uproot the evil supremacy. But God is good. Now, if one of our seasons partially proves a failure the earth seems ‘to repent of it the next summer in more muniâ€" ficent supply. Praise God for the great harvests that have been reaped this last year! Some of them, injured by drought or insects or freshets, were not as bountiâ€" ful as usual, others far in excess of what have ever before been gathered, while higher prices will help ‘make up for any decreased supply. Sure sign of agricultural prosperity we have in the fact that cattle and horses and sheep and swine and all farm aniâ€" male have during the last two years increased in value. Twenty million swine slaughtered this last year, and yet so many hogs left. Enormous paying off of farm mortgages has spoiled the old speeches of the calamâ€" ity howlers. If the ancients in their festivals presented their rejoicings beâ€" fore Ceres, the goddess of corn and tillage, shall we neglect to rejoice in the presence of the great God now? From Atlantic to Pacific let the Amâ€" erican nation celebrate the victories of the plow. : __â€" fauUgued. Death has plowed for them the deep furrow of a grave. Although most of us have nothing directly to do with the tillage of the soil, yet in all our occupations we feel the effect of successful or blighted inâ€" dustry. We must, in all our occupaâ€" tions, rejoice over the victories of the plow toâ€"day. The earth was once cursed for man‘s sake, and occasionalâ€" ly the soil revenges itself on us by reâ€" fusing a bountiful harvest. I suppose that but for sin the earth would be producing wheat and corn and sweet fruits as naturally as now it produces mullein stocks and Canada thistles.

But the preachers on Thanksgiving morning will not detain with long sermons their hearers from the home group. The housekeepers will be anâ€" gry if the guests do mot @rrive until the viands sre cold. Set the chaire to the tableâ€"the easy chairs for grandfather and grandmother, if they be still alive; the high chair for the youngest but not the least. Then put out your hand to take the full cup of thanksgiving. Lift it and bring it toward your lips, your hands trembling with emotion, and if the chalice shall overflow and trickle a few drops en the table do not be Gisturbed, but let it suggest to you the words of the pealmist and lead you thankfully to say, ‘"My cup runneth over!" Lift up your eyes, O nation of God‘s right hand, at the glorious prospects! Build larger your barns for the harvests; dig deeper the vats for the spoil of the vineyards; enâ€" large the warehouses for the merâ€" chandige; multiply galleries of art for the pictures and statues. Advance, O nation of God‘s right hand, but remember that national wealth, if unsanctified, is sumptuous waste, is moral ruin, is magnificent woe, is splendid rottennees, is gilded death. Woe to us for the wine vats if Arunkenness wallows in them! Woe to us for the harvests if greed sickles them! Woe to us for the merchandise if avarice ewallows it! Woe to us for the cities if misrule walks them! _ Woe to the land if God defyâ€" ing crime debauches it! Our only safety is in more Bibles, more churches, more free schools, more good men and more good women, more consecrated printing presses, more of the glorious gospel of the Son of God, which will yet extirpate all wrongs and introduce all blessedness. The grain fields have passed their harvests above the veto of drought and deluge. The freight care are not large enough to bring Gown the grain to the seaboard. The canal boats are crowded with breadstuffs. Hark to the rushing of the wheat through the great Chicago corn eleâ€" vators! Hark to the rolling of the hogsheads of the Cincinnati pork packere! Enough to eat, and at low prices; enough to wear, and of home manufacture. If some have and some have not, then may God help those who have not! Clear the track for the rail trains that rush on bringing the wheat and the cotton and the rice and the barley and the oats and the hops and the lumber and the leather and everything for man and everyâ€" thing for beast! How things â€" have â€" marvelously changed! We used to cry because we had to go to school. Now children cry if they cannot go. Many of them can intelligently discuss politâ€" ical topics long before they have seen a ballot box, or, teased by some poetic muse, can compose articlee for the newspapers. Philosophy and A4â€" tronomy and chemistry have been s improved that he must be a genius at dullnees who knows nothing about them. On one shelf of a poor man‘s library is more practical knowledge than in the 400,000 volumes of anâ€" clent Alexandria, and education is possible for the most indigent, and no legislature or congress for the last fifty years has assembled which has not had in it rail splitters and farmers and drovers or men who have been accustomed to toiling with the hand and the foot. " Yes ; but Ididn‘t get too much." As the pen has advanced our colâ€" leges and universities and observaâ€" tories have followed the waving of its plume. Our literature is of two kindsâ€"that on foot and that on the wing. By the former I mean the firm and substantial works which will go down through the centuries. When, on the other hand, I speak of literature on the wing, I mean the newspapers of the land. But, considering the youth of our naâ€" tlion and the fact that comparatively few persons devote themselves entirely to literature, I think we have great reason to thank God for the progress of our American literature. As hisâ€" torians have we not had in the past such men as Bancroft and Prescott, as essayists Irving and Emerson, as jurâ€" ists Story and Marshall and Kent, as theologians Edwards and Hodge, as poets Pierrepont and Sprague and Longfellow and Bryant, as sculptors Powers and Crawford and Palmer, as painters such men as West and Cole and Inman and Kensett?

It makes me sick to hear these people who ‘have been to Europe come home talking with a foreign accent and aping foreign customs and taiking of moonâ€" light on casties by the sea.

After the destroying angel passed through the land the Israelites were urged to leave ; they were ready, and the great host of probably more than 2,000,000 souls, together with their flocks and herds, began to move at once.

The Lord spakeâ€" "No, sir," said thme old gentleman, bringing his fist down hard on the desk in front of him, "I will never consent to my daughter‘s becoming the wife of a man who uses strong drink." The old man paused and stared contemptuously at the attendant. "Did ta iver try a saw this way?" he asked. ‘"‘Well, no," repliecd <~the attondâ€" ant. â€" "Of course I haven‘t."

"Here, I say, Jâ€"â€"," remarked the attendant, "what are you doing ? You‘ll never cut the wood in that fashion. Tarn the saw over!" Approaching him, the attendant soor discovered the cause of this. The old man had turned his saw upside down, with the teeth in the air, and was working away with) the back of the tool. Some of the inmates of a Yorkâ€" shire asylum were engaged in sawirng wood, and an atteniant thought that one old fellow, who appeared to be working as hard as anybody, had not much to show for his labor. & 4.

A Grantham gentleman was bitten in the calf of a leg by a dog, and demanded a summons against the man he supposed to be the owner of the offending animal.

My advice to you is to grow a beard and buy a safety razor, and not come round insulting us barbers.

" Didn‘t I daub alum on that gash in your car?" " But you cut off the top of my nose.‘" The feast was partaken of by every Israelite with his staff in hand, his loins girded, and his shoes on his feet. They were peculiarly pilgrims and strangers.

In that none of it touched the threshold, we see the sacredness of the blood, a warning to all men against trampling under foot the precious blood of Christ. The ten plagues not only amwed Pharaoh into consent, but caused Egypt to fear a people for whom God should so signally display His power. The lamb was a type of Christ, and became, both a sacrilice and a feast, pointing to Him as our sacrifice for sin and the soul feast of which beâ€" lievers eternally partake. ; After centuries of delay the time has come for God to deliver His peoâ€" ple from the hand of their enemies.

The Lord led them to the shores of the Red Sea. When Pharach saw the position they occupied he took 600 chariote and set out to overtake them. When the Israelites saw the Egyptians they woere greatly terriâ€" fied, and wished themselves back in bondage ; but Moses cried to God for deliverance, and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind, so that the Israelites went through on dry ground. The Egypâ€" tians pursued them and were overâ€" thrown in the midst of the sea, and "there remained not so much as one of them." PRACTICAL SURVEY. w Bradstreet‘s on Trade. There has been activity in wholeâ€" sale tragde circles at Montreal this week. Stocktaking has shown goed results, and the wholesale trade seem weli satis{ied. Trade at Hamilton, it is learned by Bradstreet‘s, is very good. The holiday demand from the jobbers is large. A feature is the demand for expensive articles, and the volume of trade for the last month of this year promises to show a large expanmon in many departâ€" ments. There have been fow lines to job, and there is a fecling of conâ€" fidence in the future. ‘The fine cold weather has helped trade in a wholeâ€" sale way at Toronto the past week. Beasonable lines are moving out well now, it being necessary for retailers to sort stocks in order to meet the increasing demand stimulated by winter ‘temperature. â€" The holiday business is very active now, and that is ewelling the volums of trade. Trade at the Pacific coast cities is more active owing to the demand for holi« day goods. It is erpected that this trade will be very heavy this year, Trade at Winnipeg has been helped the past week by bright weather. ‘The wholesale trade is fairly active.
