Here's a pumphin, fluted, golden,
Written o'er with customs olden
» Out of bygone days.
Cinderella’s ancient glory,
Sung in song and told in story,
Suits its ycllow blaze
Tables at the first Thanksgiving,
When colonial dames were living,
* Shewed its golden cheer.
Still it smiles a friendly greeting
At the happy family mecting
\ On the feast-day dear.
Christmas rooms are gay with holly,
Christmas sees the merry folly
Of the misticioe,
Easter lilies, pure and stately
In the springtime bloom sedately,
When soft breezes blow.
Autumn dressed the woods in splendon
But their colors, rich and tender,
All have passed away.
Now the pumpkin, ripe and mellow
, Hleeps a tint of Autumn's yellow
For Thanksgiving Day.

Barly in the evening the boys work-
ed Industriously at their lantern, eut-

little pleces of candle were placed
tnside, and it was truly a hideous-
tooking thing. Mrs. Phillips, who
was busy for that glad day, did not
notice the boys stealthily leave the
house, She despised a mean action,
and Bob and Roy knew she would
not approve of their unkind sport.
They quickly crossed the flelds and
walked down a hill into a lonery,
damp hollow. Right before them
stood a small, tumble-down house
