THE TWILIGHT OF THANKS
GIVING. Tbe day baa lengthened into eve,
And over aJi ibe meadows
The twilight's silent tbatUaa weasa
Tbeir aombre web of shadows ;
With oorthern lights the cloudlea skies
Are faintly phosphorescent.
And just above yon wooded rise
The new moon shows her crescent
Before the evening lamps are lit.
While day and night oomniingle,
Tbe sire and matron or me and ait
Beside tbe coxy ingle ;
Aud softly speak of tbe delight i
Within tbeir botona saelling,
Ikcsuse Unaih their roof to-niht
Tbeir dear ones all ire dwelling.
And when around the cheerful blaze
The young folks take tbeir places.
What bliisful dreams ef other days
Light-up their aged Jacea !
Tbe post returns with all its joy.
And they aaiu are living
The years in which, aj girls ami boys,
Tbeir children krpt Tnanksgiving.
Tbe stalwart son recalls the time
When, urged to the endeavor,
He tried tbe well greased pole lo climb.
And failed of lame iirever.
Tbe daughter teils of aer emprise
When as a new beginner,
She helped her mother make the pies
For the Tbankgiriag dinner.
i
And thus with laugh and jest andsong,
And tender reculiectijtit.
Love speeds tbe happy hours along.
And fosters fond affections;
While Fancy, listening to the mirth.
And dreaming pleasant Cetions,
Imagines through the winds on earth
That Heaven breathes benedictions--W.

AN IDEAL THANKSGIVING.
As there are abuses the law cannot
reach, so there are people no holiday in
cludes. There U a lime of the year when
vagrants criminals, in a word, the desti
tute as body are feasted with good
things), find made to share tbe comforts of
the rich. But as comprehensive as this
charity may be, as minute io its search
after recipients, thoughtful in the
choice of creature comforts, it is pitiful to
think how many yet reuiain in Uie "high
way and heds" out of reach.
Can you imagine a gathering of such as
these? We see much of tbe other side of
the picture, but it is startling to think
that those who eo;ce to the surface are
only the minority. .Bsneith every suc
ce, however modest and obscure, there
is a substructure of accumulated failure ;
and for one of ten whom we see in mod
erate comfort and unasisaming ease, there
are a thousand who have bevn too weak
to swim.
I had been to many fully spread boards
both public and private,' on this day of
typical thanksgiving for all the blessings
and good gifts of the fvear ; but one to
which 1 was aocidentaHj introdaed late
in the evening, proved cf much greater
interest and rarity than any of the
others.
The host was a gray headed man, wife
less and childless, rich, odd, disappoint
ed, and generally supposed to las ni'usin
thropic He had no aim in life ; no in
terest strong enough to absorb him, no
will stable enough to hold the reins. He
gave to every ooe who asked, bet no
work of charity interested him. There
was no pursuit, physical or mental, which
coold so sustain him as to turn him from
Tain regrets and impartial longings. He
had never found his place in life ; had
never known necessity, and therefore
never 11316-1 the excitement of the race
for existence, which some titae or other
gives at least a da&h of interest to the
most unsuccessful career. lie was not ir
religious, but he belonged to no religious
body, and when anyone told him that
he had much to thank 2'rovidencs for,
he would shrug his shoulders in amaze
ment. As Uie years went on this man brooded
more and more over disappointed hopes,
and took a morbid pleasure iu finding-out
cases of failure in all the various .callings
of life. He dwelt on the suijectuctil it
became a monomania. One or two ac
quaintances he had no heart friend
out of compassion advised him to turn
this brooding to practicul ue by benefit
ting men in ei taut ions like bis ov. a.
Such was the singular hoet. As for the
gnests, they were as various in class, edu
cation, birth and appearance as they
could be, even in a city where everything
nnder the sun ia more or less represented.
AH who are bankrupt and ruined in rep
utation and position, or in their on es
timation, had a representation at that
strange feast of moral equality. Every
degree of shabbiness, of dilapidation, in
face or garment, wai present ; for no rule
was made as to dress, and those whom
shame or idleness male remits were as
freely admitted aa they who had made
littie pitiful attempts at decency. The
talk was mild and characteristic, chiefly
occupied w ith the part or the future, as
it might have been.
On tbe host's right hand sat man in
rusty black, with nervous Lands that
clutched at things, and trembled as they
held glass, or fork, or napkin. He bad
never been a criminal, never willingly
harmed anyone, never entertained a de
liberately unkind thought, and yet to all
intents and purposes he was a murderer
and a suicide. His spirit was dead, or
in its last agonies, and cf this he was dim
ly conscious ia a despairing sort of a
way.
On the hoat'a left, the other place of
honor ADd what a significant distinction
to occupy those prominent seats sat the
jauntiest individual of the whole par:y.
At first sight it would have been difficult
to say why he bad his share at thin bas
que of the ruined, disappointed, bereav
ed and afflicted. It was not his look nor
his dress that told tbe Dec ret, but his
words. He was better drrs&ed than any
of his fellows, and a self-satisfied expres
sion was opon hie face. But you soon
saw a blank in the mid of taat self-satisfaction
the lack of something, which
mysterious something would have jtiet
pot him beyond tbe pale of our friend's
circle. " He talked louder than the rest,
and held out the comfort of irresponsibil
ity in the present and annihilation here
after no God to restraia nj now, and
none to judge as later ; but the lark of
that " something " made his face gro
ugly and bard as he expounded his theo
ries, and bis own appearance was but a
poor argument in favor of his pet theo-
A carious rivalry between many of the 1
gneU attracted my attention. Each '
tbocgbt his own mieortane the heaviest
and was jealous of the consideration
which another won. Some even flung
into the faces of certain others that when
they were enjoying prosperity tbey bad
been appealed to is Tain. Any rant
about equality in spite of the loss of
money was promptly resented by
those who bad been in the attitude of
solicitors. ' This feast was no good place
at which to air fine talk not supported
by fine character. The restrictions which
obtain in society less honest of speech,
though more polished, were laid aside,
and each one spoke his mind. All told
their worldly circumstance quite plain
ly. One said that he lived with bis wife,
three children and mother-in-law in two
rooms in an unwholesome tenement
bouse, and earned f 3 a week in a slop
shop selling rotten clothing to green
horns. Another said :
" I started in life with tbe notion of
being a great author. I am over 40 now,
and glad to get a week in a book store.
I have covered ren.ua of paper, and made
about $:.l.K) altogether in little sums,
but no one knows my name. I havecar
ried a novel and an epic from one pub
lishing houjse to another for ten years,
and never could get aDy editor even to
read them. I am trying to save a little
money now to get the poem published
after my death, with a little autobiogra
phy w hich may teach the world what it
has lost, and make people sorry tbatli.ey
let such a man die a miserable death af
ter so disappointing a life."
"Then eoiue people have forced them
selves on the poblic by the manner of
their death," said a wild, melancholy
Iookir.it man by the author's side, "and I
think it would be worth while to try
such a scene to make my Romeo and Ju
liet sell."
" You talk of death like a child," aaid a
croaking voice across the table. " Here
am I, an old woman, once Minnie SL. An
gel, the famous a tress, but none the Icsb
a starving, broken down drudge now.
Never despair while yon are young ; it is
the old who know what trouble is. To
have been 'some one.' and then fall to be
ing nobody, that is the hardest thins of
all, mnch harder than to be unknown all
your life."
Well, I think it is harder for those 1
who never bad a brief boor of success at
all," said a thin woman. " I was tbe ,
daughter of a theatre hack, and was on
tbe stage from a child. But as I grew
up plain and not clever, I was used in all
tbe comoion parts, and never knew what
it was to have an individuality. I have
never bad a home, and since my father
died have never even had a friend. Now
I am wardrobe woman in a low theatre,
and glad yes, thankful to have the
place, too.'
" It is hard to work for no pay," sail a
rough voice opposite. " I was a soldier
of Napoleon's as a lad, fought in Algeria
and in Russia ; and because I took part
in some plot they call it revolutionary
I lo?t my littie pension, and starved in
conseuuence. I ran away, and once here
could find nothing to do, and I am try
ing to beg money enough to buy a band
organ and camp stooL"
Near him sat a prim old body in a
shiny black gown." She seemed rather
shocked at the mention of the organ and
stool, and remarked that as he was a man
be could surely find some work to do.
She went on to say :
"Although I am only a woman, I set
to work at once as soon as our fortune
was gone. I got a teacher's place in a
school, and ever since I have taught and
supported myself. But it is very hard for
a lady tenderly brought up, and not
taught very thoroughly as people were
not in my day to mix with common
people and be knocked about in the
world. My father was rich and a jrentle
jxan, and we have good blood in our
veins for many geoerations back, long
before our family ever cros-sed tLe ocean.
Our name is known in the histwry olhe
country, and there never was one bear
ing it who disgraced it."
" A good pedigree is a fine thing if it
be genuine," said a crippled man near
the old lady. " But if I bad it and could
exchange it fyr a straight back and rnnrxi
limb?, I would gladly give it op. Yet I
believe I am happier than most of you
here. I iet out to get one thing and got
it, though it brought little else with it.
I was a poor man's son and had no fami
ly to boast of, ar.I the one thing I wad
ed was learning. As I was a cripple and
good- for nothing to work, I got books
from kind neighbors and taught myself
sitting by the ki'chen Ere ia winter and
on the door step in summer. Sometimes
I got to school, when I had clothes g d
enough to wear, and atlamt, through the
compassion of neighbors, to colleife. B it
I grew luore infirm as 1 reached manhood
and, indeed, b t for this I should Lave
co right to be here among you. I have
earned my livelihood teaching other
young men ; and sol jog on I and my
books ; and though my meals often corv
sist of bread and milk, I am not unhap
py. I said I would give noble blood in
exchange for good health and strong and
sound limbs ; but I would not give my
books for health or good blood, nor
even health alone for a long peJi
gree." The hobt smiled at as and said ; "There
is the man w ho ia realLr inoaarch of all
he surveys."
It was sad lening to turti from She crip
ple to the- others. . Man of them were
equally gifted intellectually, yet "they
had never attaiaed hit contentment w ith
his lot. - -
A man in a rough jacket, with-a care
less air, which was contradicted by his
face, said :
" Well, I fancy I have bad a wider ex
perience than any of you, if change of
employment gives experience. There are
few things I have sot tried, but I never
succeeded in any. I have been an er
rand boy, a plow boy, a peddler, a miner,
an engineer and an expresstnao. I have
written dismal trash to sell to vilely
cheap and mean papers. 1 have taught
grown men to read ia exchange far a
crust of bread. I bave distributed adver
tisements at street comers ; and now I
am just where I was when, I started. I

and took for it."
' "You and I are much alike said a
man opposite. "I have looked for work
both in an J out of my profession. I am
a musician, young and unknown. I have
beard you all talk of being poor, but when
a man loses many a potsgib'e good chance
in bis business through- the want of a

though he may have a good coat on his
back. In our proirsion poverty is a
matter of conn). We may be even fa
tuous ami starve. Meanwhile I imob
lied to keep op appearances and live i.t
a decent hotrse."
""Yes," said a woman near biro, "and I
dare say not your own bouse. Well, if
poor boarders have their troubles, don't
think that the boarding house keeper
Lleeps on a bed of roses. There is a hope
less side to poverty, and a contented side,
and and expectant side. But I know an
other. It is the ludicrous aide. My
husband died in debt. There was only
the weary oliiUway to support myself. I
opened a boarding house. I w ish ladies
could go lower dow n to make money. I
had not the strength of mind to do differ
ently from others of my set, and I think
with ts women that rs one of tho great
causes of our troubles. We don't dare to
face the w orld's talk, even w hen there is
nothing to be ashamed of. I had a hard
time with inefficient servants, for I did
not tbriveand could not ray high enough
prices lo secure good ones. But I sent
for two of my neL'es, as poor as rnvself,
and together we d;d the work and shar-
ed the profit. Lst me say to you that
if you are poor and have toSerabio health,
tloyoarown work. By that means we
got on and had order and cleanliness,
and though lire il not exactly delightful
to os, it i tolerable.
"As tithe ludicrous side of poverty.
We see enough of it. So many little
shifts and pretenses, though they are
pathetic enough sometimes. I began by
asking rather higli prices, and if tht y
were refased, let the rooms stay empty.
But my purse lieu'an to ?A empty too,
and I was obliged to compromise. Some
times I did not like a man's manner or a
woman's costume, and I was stiff, which
lost me considerable money. Then again,
some men's business was not to my tast-?.
though they were rery silent and unob-
trnsive themselves. ' I lost many a good
boarder the first year by standing too
m::ch on my dignity. I? a dancing
m.'.ster generally teaches 'deportment' to
his pupils, I think some one should teach
a banker's daughter, in view of certain
possibilities, how to attract and deal
pleasantly with boarders, if it were not
a good thing to be merry under the worst
circumstances, I should not detain you
so long with my experiences; but if we
persistently ignore the humor that is con
cealed in almost every stair? of poverty,
we are making ourselves more miserable
than God intended us to be." Then she
went on to enumerate the ludicrous in
cidents which the poor boarders treated
her to day by day.
"If money troubles were everything."
said a moody man, "you wjuld ail be
f-quarrelir.g who was the worst off among
you. 1 on might be rich in money, and
yet broken and worthleisg."
My host whispered to me tbatth.s
man had lost his faith in woman. Then
he pointed out a pale woman in good but
not showy clothing; wh? was yet more
wretched than the poon-t at the feast, i
Her hosliand cared nothing for her. She
was dying of a broken heart. Just op-
:.. , . I
postte ner were a man and woman w bom I
no recital seemed to affect. Their on
child had been suddenly killed
w jeks before.
My friend pointed out a man at the
bottom of the table. He had aa aneav
eye and a restless conscience. I asaed
what this man had done.
- "Set trar-j for the feet of others," said
my hft, "Ia old times, legends say,
men sold their own souls. He has sold
those of others. Anciently, to trample
on the Cross as the worst sacrilege a
man couid commit ; but be has trampled
beneath his ftet the very image of God.
Such as be are called 'men about town.'
I need not tell you more."
Near him sat a woman with a faded
shawl, a st iled and rakish bonnet, bra-
ren face and dirty hands. No teachic
no hWp
5 good example, no chance of
good had over tome to her. And there
waa a woman in Parisian dinner dress
who sat between two men of the home
less kind ia upper life the lay figures of
society. She was more hopeless looking
than her neighbors. She had no work.
No ot j-nrt save pleasure ever stirred her.
Then my uost told me in low tones,
while the ethers were ta!kin amonj
themselves, bow he had gathered these
people toytether for ttiie extraordinary
Thanksgiving jViAsi Some he hid met
by acciJenL Others he Luote-1 up, going
into the dismal places to find them. 1 he
most despairing weie the ones he those.
He said :
"To some I sent formal invitations by
post. I knew it would please them. Tiie
invitation itself put in language they had i
not known for years, would be more of a
blessing than the mere feast to which
they were bidden. The moral pleasure !
given, or the self resptct ind.itxd by these I
invitations, is more that liaif the boon of j
my ThaDkeirinw: feast. To a few the '

appreciation of themselves, the wantaf
sympathy aad understanding, the cold
drawing back of the prosperous, the di
vided attention, the fair words and no
deeds, the barren good wishes in short.
the whole repellent attitude of the world.

at the foot of the table? He has peace

enough and joy enough to share w ith as

had a great ruiafortune ia hia yooth no
matter what it was and if ever there
was a child of God, fashioned by Gtsd's
own hands and chastened in his own
way, it is he."
Here the host btepped forward, and
raising his voice: "There is one among
you, my friends, who has no word to
speak nf his troubles and disappoint
ments, yet they have been harder to bear
than ail yt crs, save those miseries born
of guilt. I did not invite hi in nerwbe

when he ceased we noticed there was
one guest lew at the table. He Lad gone ;
but no one spoke.
Then, here and there one from out this
strange com j any tame forward to thank
the Lost aitii tears of genuine gratitude
io their eyes, Sjnie went away without
a word, .von ail were gone. The load

was only then I realized that I had not

tailed ourselves into the belief that our
Ionins and imaginings were facts.
Could we not do something like this?
To restore seif respect is even better than
to HII with bread. But, understand, that
although io many instances the latter
can be done without this former must
rest on the laanis of tbe latter. Thanks
giving is a good day to bejrin things.
Still every day may become a thanks

How He Killed His Foe.

aa interview with E:i Perkins, "I met an
old soldier who h i 1 been wounded in

' 'I gr.t it the Sr.t day at .-hiiob, sir.

about half way there he met a Johony

of -mlt to a gallon of water is the right
