He gazed on the blackened branches a

"Only one match more. Now 1 must

him, to do what in fact he ought to have
done at first, that is procure a supply ol

horse stood still, nearly exhausted, and the
buflalo-skins in the sleigh were completely
whitened with the falling snow.
Fergus came up with the traveler to the
sleigh, and found there was a lady sitting
in it. The man spoke to her and told her
there was a fire a short distance off the
road, and that she must try to walk to it ;
but she was drowsy and stupid, mid did not

then told her to walk along immrdiaieiy
after him. Fergus went before, t'oiuii
1 be (rack he bad made through the suuw iu
coming from the fire.'
The lady's strength and spirits revived
by the exfr-ite, and 111 a short time they
were all comforiaLly established by the tire.
They collected more wood. and spread down
a large nuti.ber of hen.lo.-k branches, and
then Fergus nnd ibe traveler went back to

and put all the buffalo-skius and blankets

Just before 8unrie he awoke Fergus.
The sky was clear, and a cold wind w;s

packing away all the loose flying (lakes
ml.) every interstice on the suriace of the
drifts, so that Fergus found to his surprise
that the snow would bear his weight in
many places where it had drilled bard.
Seen by daylight, Ion, he recogmztd the
place where they were. It was not very
tar from his iathei's house, and only quite
rhort distance from another farm house
on his way. It was agreed, therelore.thai
he should go in pursuit ol help, as he could
get along so much more easily upon the
drilts. When he reached the larn.erV.th'y
were just shoveling paths to the jircnt barn,
and they premised to go immediately w.t.'i
lesiiis to release the travelers. Fergus
went oti towards his home; and just at

down the road which led to the pond, she
waa thrown into aa ecelncy of delight at

That evening when George came in
from his work-shop, he found little 1 enny
smiling in hie cradle. He took him up,
and gave him Fergus' tinder-box to piny
with. Mary was preparing uper. Fer
gua was in the shop, making more match
es. Presently Mary came up to George,
tnd said in a subdued voice,
''Husband, 1 believe I waa very wrong
last night. I ought to have bad more faith."
""'
"ISol more faith,'
more submission."
said Georte, "but
"Why ; 1 mean I oubt to have be
lieved that God would have taken care of
our dear boy, as you did."
"No," said he, "I had no reason to be
lieve that God would save his life and 1
did not in fact, really think we uliould ev
er see him again."
I'ow could you be so quiet and calm
then T"
I felt willing that God should do as he
pleased."
There wrts,a pause. Mary had imagined
'hat it was her duty to have Ul.cved all
the time ihut Fergus was in no danger, but
George explained to her again, that true
submission to the divine will, w ill make us
easy not by creating a delusion that the
objects we love are certainly tnft but by
n akins us willing to leave them entirely
in God's hands when we know I hfy are in
dtmftr.
"iJut that is very hard," said Mary.
"It depends on circumstances."
"U hat circumstances !" stiid Mary.
"It is hard if the heart is wronc but if
the heart is really right towards God, it is
very easy."

from unuressMry business, social cuieiings, and
julilic worship of the Author of every blessing.
In this connection, we copy some very pertinent
reflections from the Philsd. Christian Chronicle:
The observance of such a sacred
festival, at this season of the year, has
long been customary, esrially through
out Xew England, and we re;oice at the
pros;ei-l of its univeisality throughout Ibe
whole country, and at no distant period.

It was Ihe custom of our forefathers nt
the early eettlemeir. of t ur couniiy. In
fuel, a this new world was lirst discovered,
when Columbus with bis crew fir.-t caught
a glance of ibe land, ajsj-asnn ol praise
and thanksuivitig was aWnce set apart in
order to ack now ledge God in guiding across
the ocean, bringing to a suie harbor, and
putting in possession of an unknown con
tinent. Our Puritan fnhers.as they land
ed in the Mayflower on Plymouth Rock,
made the air resound wilh songs of grati
tude, and ever alter at this season of the
year through all their generations. Thro'
the Keviilutinimry struggle which followed,
at every deliverance from danger, and
every victory that was won. how did then
hearts swell with thanksgiving and their
tongues loo in giving it utterance.
The season ol the year also is appropri
ate to such a day. U'e have sown the
seed, and cuitivnted the soil, and God has
attended our labors whh sunshine and rain,
nil at length fruit and harvest have been
gathered in rich profusion for the abundant
supply of all our wants. He has watched
over the commerce of the sea, and scat
tered everywhere the products of all climes
and of all lands.
Besides, we, as a people, have been pe
culiarly blessed the past year. Then how
reasonable that we should any so in word
too plain to be mis'aken, and by acls which
shall be proclaimed to the wide world!
Lvery cloud or war, which has stood over
us at other times, has been cleared away,
and the bright sunshine of peace has rested
upon this whole nation.
Koine, striving for liberty, bns been
crushed ; Hungary, contending for the
same blessing, has been cut off by the
sword, and banished in exile. Turkey,
for opening au asylum to tfio.e under the
sentence of death l y a lion hearted auto
cr.it. :s now trembling before the cup of
vrrath ho yet presses to her lips. All I'.u-
rope is in romwuuoi. in .r-w u. ...c t-icm,
and threatens to Ucome speedily one great
battle-field. Vol sinid it all, we. as a na
tion, are calm as the bosom of a surnmei's
lake, and have nothing 10 do but to still
pour ahrr.a 1 tbe li-ht of our liberty.
Let us thank (Jod that we are at peace
wiih all the nations of the globe, and that
wo may met and express our deepest
L'ratiludw with uone to interrupt our joyful
service.
And besides all this, how rich and nl-
rious ate our religious privile.es. The
Bible and the sanctuary are outs, the fam
ily altar and the throne of grace we may
approach daily and offer there grateful in
cense to God.
Institutions of sanctified learning meet
our eye on every hand, and bless the land
with their pure radiance.
Art and science of every name, as ihe
iJiarrdmaids of religion,', am making their
BRANCH FARMER
discoveries, and elevating the condition of
ibis mighty nation.
An intelligent and faithful ministry are
rising up to bless our churches, and as on
angels' wings are sending the Gospel to
heathen shores to proclaim the glad news
of salvation to all people.
Living amid scenes like these, as the day
of thanksgiving and praise comes round,
let u. not ail to set it apart in a becoming
nnri worsbio (Jod as the iv r of
all nur mercies.
Let us nraise Oud in the family circle

SARTAIN'S UNION MAGAZINE.
The Acknowledged BLcktcoud of Anttra.
An impartial press has awarded lo Sar
fain tbe credit of publishing the best Msg
az;ne in America. Their decision is found
ed upon tbe established fact, thjt he pub
lishes letter and more varied embellish
ments than any of bis rivals, and that he
pa for one'iuil contributions more than
nli bis competitors combined, and hence he
bas secured authors of the highest repute
in America and Europe.
Ureal inducements, to subscribers for th.
Comiug Volume, Januaty, 1850.
The publishers of artiin's Magazine,
would aiitiounce o) Ilie reading public,
that whilst ih.ir Manazine for lb49 is ac
knowledged to be superior in every respect
to any o:h r pulvist.cd in this country,
they have mstie arrangements whereby
the Magazine for the i.ez! year wilt escel
all its former isiu"S.
The Literary Depariment will remain
umier th.- control ot its present able Editors,
Prof. John S. Hart, of Philade'phia. and
Mrs. Caroline M. Kihklsnd, of N. York,
who, besides articles from their own pens
every month, have secured contributions
from the best Authors in Europe and
America.
These contributions, including some r.f
the most brilliant Magazine articles any
whereto be found, are entirely original,
being written expressly for our Magazine,
and not selected from other publications.
If we can not attract distinguished names
to our list of contributors by the liberality
of our prices, or the respectability of nur
Magazine, we assuredly shall not try to
gain the appearance of it, by taking ex
tracts from authors of great name, and so
mixing them up in our table of contents,
lh it they shall seem to be original.
No second handed worn-out Plates ap
pear in this Magazine. Mr. Sirtain has
entire control ol the Pictorial Department,
and besides Embellishments from his own
burin, be will be assisted by some of the
best Artists of this country.
Worn-out London Sleel Engravings,
which are freely Used by some Periodicals, !
will not find
their way into the pages of
Nartain, under any circumstances.
1 i.ere cou!J be a vast sitving to tlie Pub
lishers in using such plates, as they can
be purchased at almost any price, from
$25 down In the price of the metal. e
aim lo give the best, in Literature and Art.
The FtfiAion Fashion Plates are of
he nature of news. Tbe lady who wishes
lo dress fashionably, does not ask what
was worn, but what is worn. She does
not want in 1810 the Fashions of 1848,
- , .. J", . a.
nor in uecemrer inose 01 August, farts
is the Acknowledged centre of the Modes,
whence all fashions primarily originate.
During the issue for 149. we gave the
fashions three or lour months ahead of our
competitors ! Our plan enables us to fur
nish triple the number of plalea, thus fur
nishing nur readers with all the prevailing
modes ef Paris and London. Instead of a
single plate wis two figures, we often give
three or lour pls'e, with eight or ten dis
tinct figures,, em h exhibiting a separate
costume.
Airw FVtf'trrs -W have many features
and improvements entiiely new in Mae
