Good roads invariably lead to paths of prosperity. We will soon be a nation of turkey gobblers—for a day. Some men are so lucky t h a t when they jump out of the frying pan, the fire is out.

Beginning with November 1st a new set of books was provided by the state for the keeping of town high way accounts.

Take twelve nice clean corn cobs, boil in two gallons of water until there is only one gallon of M ater left.

Two negro women were on their way to work one morning, when one said: “Liza, what do you thiuk of that nigger? She don't do nothing but fuss.” “ Well, Mary, I tells you M’hat; she ought to belike me.

Workmen are engaged in building a crib and breakM’ater below the wall at the point off old Fort Niagara. The masonrv which was raised about a century ago was somewhat shaken by the dynamite last April and this, combined with the constant action of the waters of the river and the lake, is endangering the wall. The crib- work is expected to strengthen the main wall and guar I it from ultimate destruction. It is said that early next spring the work of rebuilding that portion of the wall which was torn away hy a contractor some years ago. will be begun, also the restoration of the ancient Castle to its former condition-: ’ It was a town girl—and the same sad story that, alas, has often been told, and checkered many a young life which had its beginning in sun shine, surrounded by luxury and the wealth of the ivorld. Her eyes were now wild and staring, her face was flushed, her hands were nervously working. She was a deeply troubled and injured woman, and we hear her saying: “0, cruel one, I have injur ed the very foundations of my being! Day by day yon have tortured me, and yet I could not bear to give you up. When first we met, how your ease and polish attracted me! When you became my own, how my friends envied me. But your understanding is too small for my large soul. You have injured my standing in society. If we had never met L might have walked in peace. So now7 begone! We part forever!” There was a mo ment’s convulsive breathing, a grit ting of teeth and a sharp sigh. It was all over. ByJM supreme effort she had pulled off I^B“riew shoe ” It is not likely tffTat many amateur astronomers will put themselves out to see this year’s total eclipse of the moon, which occurs on the night of November 27th, butat an hour when the great majority of amateur star gazers are siiutt between the sheets. All-night vigils are not at all to their liking, especially in frosty weather, and therefore Luna will perform her disappearance act practically unob served. This year the eclipse begins soon after midnight and ends as the coming day begins to break. In the first hour the moon will groM7 darker on the upper left hand edge. After it enters the shadow it will gradually lose its shape until the total phase begins at 3:14. At this time the whole outline of the moon can be made out, but it will be unevenly covered with a coppery tint, the upper part being the darker. At the middle of the ecltuse, 3:55 a. m., the northern edge of the moon will be almost exactly at the center of the earth’s shadow, the diameter of which is two and three- fourth times that of the moon. This is what the people who prefer snooz ing in bed to watching a natural phe nomenon will miss. But they may rest assured that the eclipse will be just as thoroughly performed as though they had all sat up to see it. soon went her one better. So far did it g© as to occasion public comment. Their hubbies, too, began to cry out, as it was pulling bard on their purse- strings. But there is an end to all things earthly to-day. What is the cure? One of the ladies is disporting herself in the lap of luxury. The oth er, who once had means and servants at her command, now has fallen to the menial position of a servant her self. She flew her kite too high. The string broke and the kite floated away into “fairyland.” But she has the string to remind her to be hum ble hearted. Lord! Lord! Keep us humble. Thanksgiving. It is always best for us poor mor tals to keep humble. Never to get ahoye our station. Some in the flush of prosperity forget themselves and hold their heads high and almost stumble over their inferiors. Some times they are allowed to go along through life this way without let or hindrance, but sometimes Providence interposes and pride has a fall. A little incidence illustrative of this oc curs to our mind. Some years ago, in a prominent little rural hamlet, there resided two dames who were so cially prominent and M ho M-ere also keen rivals almost to the verge of un reasonableness. in the elegance of the appointment of the luxuriousness of their homes. If one got some ele gant household luxury, the other The usual Thanksgiving proclama tion has enjoined us to giye thanks for “the many blessings of the year,” and has enumerated the more “im portant” ones. Somehow we have been inclined to regard, in our indi vidual cases, only blessings of im portance materially, overlooking many real blessings of greater value. For instance, we forget that we haye enjoyed health and strength, immu nity from accident and harm, exemp tion from misfortunes of various kinds. These are real blessings, be cause they are the very foundations of contentment and happiness. They ought to inspire our deepest grati tude, and constitute the “burden of our song,” on Thanksgivingday. The tendency not to regard real blessings as we should is natural. The tendency toward material things Ytb'i* ie;'jd& nL unc.oascibuskj* perhaps, to count God outof thow h o le ( nanks- giving. We made the money we have; we acquired our world’s go o d s ; we achieved our prosperity; we cele brate it all as though we M7ere the ones to whom gratitude is due. Con sequently we do not assemble in our “several places of M7orsbip to give thanks.” but surround our well lad en tables to gorge ourselves, and make merry. In this way we crowd the Almighty out of Thanksgiving day, even though we remember the poor, which is generally done in such a way that we g et credit instead of the Lord. Let’s be honest with our selves one day in the year, and “ren der unto Caesar the things that are Caecar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” We shall feel all the bet ter for having done so. Then, again, let us render every thing, not the big blessings, and the real blessings, but the little ones, No man ever had so little that he could not have less. “ While there is life there is hone,” and hope, the ability to look forward, to strive is a ble&s- mg; indeed, one of the greatest .bless ings, because “hope is an inspiration, a guiding star.” And the hopeful man is alwa 3 7s grateful because he has faith but if tilings are not all right now t h e y soon will be. Per haps this is one reason why the poor are more thankful than the rich, and why they are more sincere in their Thanksgiving. But be this as it may. we should not forget the little things. We should be thankful for all things. And above all we should be thankful for the blessings that un derlie our contentment and happi ness. PERSONALS.
