How Sho Found an Absent Lover and a Littlo Namesake. HANKSG1VIXG day dawned clearly and frostily upon tho littlo vil lage of Castle ton Hollow. Tliestagowhicli connected daily with Uio nearest railroad station for, as yet, Castleton Hol low had not ar rived at the dig nity of one of its own -catno fully freighted hoth in kide and out. There were children and children's children, who, in tho pursuit of fortune, had strayed away from the liomes whore they first saw tho light, Lut who were now returning to revive around the old familiar hearth the as sociations and recollections of their early days. ( 2rcat were tiro preparations among tho housewives of Custleton Hollow. That must indeed he a poor housohold which, ou this occasion, could not ltoast its turkey and plum pudding, those well-established dishes, not to mention its long row of pies apple, minco and pumpkin wherewith tho Thanksgiving hoard is wont to ho garnished. Kiit it is not of tho households gen erally that I propose to speak. Let the reader accompany mo in imagination to a rather prim-looking brick mansion situated on tho principal street, hut at some distanco hack, being separated from it hy a front yard, llctwccn this yard and the fenco ran a prim-looking hedge of very formal cut, being cropped in tho most careful manner, lest one twig should by chanco have tho pre sumption to grow higher than its kin dred. It was a two-story house, con taining on each story ono room on cither side of tho front door, making, of course, four in all. If we go in wc shall find tho outward primness well supported by tho appear ance of things within. In tho front parlor -wo may peep through tho door, but it would bo high treason, in tho present moistened slate of our hoots, to step within its sacred precincts there are six high-backed chairs standing in state, two at each window. Ono can easily see from tho gcnoral arrangement of the furniture that from romping chil dren, unceremonious kittens and unhal lowed intruders generally this room is most sacredly guarded. Without .speaking particularly of tho other rooms, which, though not fur nished in so stately a manner, bear a familv resemblance to "tho best-roDm," we will usher the reader into tho oppo site room, where wo will find tho own er and oecupant of this prim-looking residence. Miss Hetty Henderson is a maiden of feomu thirty-fivo summers, attired in a soler-lookinr dress of irreproachable neatness but most formal cut She is the only occupant of tho house, of which likewise she is tho proprietor. Her fath er, who was the village physician, died some ten years since, leaving to Jlelty, or perLaps I should give her full name, Henrietta, his only child, tho bouse in which he lived, and some four thousand dollars in bank stock, on the income of which sho lived comfortably. Somehow Miss Hetty had never mar ried, though, such is the mercenary na ture of man, tho rumor of her inheri tance brought to her feet several suitors. Hut Miss Hetty had resolved never to marry at least, this was her invariable answer to matrimonial offers, and so -- " MISS HETTY BEG AX TO THIJfK". after a time it came to be understood that sho was fixed for life an old aiaid. What reasons impelled her to this coarse were not known, but possibly the reader will be furnished with a clue before he finishes this narrative. Meanwhile, the invariable effect of a single and solitary life combined at tended Hetty. .She grew precise, prim and methodical to a painful degree. It would have been quite a relish if oae could have detected a stray thread even upon her well-swept carpet, bat such was never the case. Oa this particular day this Thaakfi giviag day of which we are speakiaf Hiss Hetty bad completed her culiaary preparations, that is, she had stuffed her turkey and put it in tho oveB, aad kataded her pudding, for, though but mWs&lE& KHBHHBMKfB M&EmxaaSK&A vafJWtaasT VyBMMa2mmmWmmjmmi AmwmSMRn oae would be preeeat at the iiaaer. aa4 that herself, her coaacleace wool aot have acqaltted her if sha had aot made all the preparation to which she had beea accustomed oa such occasioaa. This done, she sat dowa to her kalt tinjf, castiag a jrlaace every bow and then at the ovea to make sure that all was going oa welL It was a quiet morn iaf , aad Miss Hetty began to thiak to the clicking of her kaittiag needles. "After all," thought she, "it's rather solitary taking diaaer aloae, and that on Thanksgiving day. I remember a long time ago, when my father was liv ing, and my brothers and sisters, what a merry time we used to have round the table. But they are all dead, and I I alone am left!" Miss Hetty sighed, bat after awhile the recollections of these old times re turned. She tried to shake them off, but they had a fascination about them after all. and would not go at her bid ding. "There used to be another there," thought she, "Nick Anderson. He, too, I fear is dead." Hetty heaved a thoughtful sigh, and a faint color came into her cheeks. She had reason. This Nicholas Ander son had been a medical student, appren ticed to ber father, or rather placed with him to be prepared for his profes sion. Ho was. perhaps, a year older than Hetty, and had regarded her with more than ordinary warmth of affection. He had, in fact, proposed to her, and had been conditionally accepted, on a year's probation. The trouble was, he was a little disposed to be wild, and being naturally of a lively and careless temperament, did not exercise sufficient discrimination in tho choice of his asso ciates. Hetty had loved him as warmly as ono of her nature could love. Sho was not one who would be drawn away boyond tho dictates of reason and judg ment by the force of affection. Still, it was not without a feeling of deep sor rowdeeper than her calm manner led him to suspect that at the end of tho year's probation sho informed Ander son that tho result of his trial was not favorable to bis suit, and that hence forth he must give up all thoughts of her. To his vehement asseverations, promises and protestations she returned tho same steady and inflexible answer, and at tho close of the interview ho left her quito as full of indignation against her as of grief for bis rejection. That night his clothing was packed up and lowered from the window, and when tho next morning dawned it was found that ho had left tho house, and, as was intimated in a slight noto pon cilcd and left on tho table in his room, never to return again. Whilo Miss Henderson's mind was far back in tho past, she had not observed the approach of a man, shabbily at tired, accompanied by a littlo girl, ap parently some eight years of ago. The man's faco boro tho impress of many cares and hardships. The littlo girl was of delicate appearance, and an oc casional shiver showed that her gar ments wore too thin to protect her suf ficiently from the inclomoncy of tho weather. "This is tho placfl, Ilenrietta," said tho traveler at length, pausing at tho head of tho graveled walk which led up to tho front door of tho prim-looking brick house. Together they ontored, and a moment afterwards, just as Miss Hetty was pre paring to lay tho cloth for dinner a knock sounded through tho house. "Goodness!" said Hi Hetty, flustered, "who can it be that wants to sco mo at this hour?" Smoothing down her apron, and giv ing a look at the glass to make sure that her hair was in order, she hastonod to tho door. "Will it bo asking too much, madam, to request a seat by your fire for myself and littlo girl for a few moments? It is very cold." Miss Hetty could see that it was cold. Somehow, too, the appealing; expression IT WAS KATIir.lt A NOVEL SITUAtlOS. of the little girl's faco touched her, so sho threw tho door wide open and bado them enter. Miss Hotty went on preparing the tablo for dinner. A most dqlightful odor issued from tho oven, ono door of which was open, lest tho turkey should overdo. Miss Hefty could not help ob serving the A'istftil glances cast by tho little girl toward the tempting dish as sho placed it on the table. "Poor littlo creature," thoug'ht she, "I suppose it is a long time sence she had a good dinner." Then tho thought struck her: "Hero I am alono to oat all this. Thero is plenty enough for half a doaen. How much tbeso poor people would relish it" Ity this time the tablo was arranged. "Sir," said she, turning to tho trav eler, "you look as if you wore hungry as well as cold. If you and your little daughter would like to sit up, I would be happy to have you." "Thank you. madam," was the grate ful reply. "We aro hungry, and shall bo much indebted to you for your kind ness." It was rather a novel situation for Miss Hetty, sitting at tho head of the table, dispensing food to others beside herself. Thero was something rather agreeable about it. "Will you have some of the dressing, littlo girl I have to call you that, for I don't know your name, she added, in an inquiring tone. "Her name is Henrietta, but I gener ally call her Hetty," said the traveler. "What?"' said Miss Hetty, dropping the spoon in surprise. "She was named after a very dear friend of mine," said he, sighing. "May I ask," said Miss Hetty, with excusable curiosity, "what was the name of this friend? ' I begin to feel quite an interest in your little -girl," she added. "Her name was Henrietta Header son," said the stranger. "Why, that is my name," ejaculated the lady. "And she was named after yoa,' said the stranger, composedly. "Why, who in the world are you?" she asked, her heart beginning to beat unwontedly fast "Then yoa don't remember aser said he, rising, and looking ateadUy at Misa Hettv. "Yet yoa kaew ate well ia by gone days aoae better. Aad it waa at one time thought yoa weald have joined your destiny to mine " "Nick Andersen." said she. rising ia confnsion.

I have returned, as yoa see, not as I departed, Lbut poor and careworn. While Nicholas was speakiag, Hetty's mind was filled with conflicting emo tions. At length, extending her baad frankly, she said: "I feel that 1 was toe hasty, Nicholas. I should have tried you- longer. Bat, at least I may repair my injastiee. I have enough for us alL Yoa shall come and live with me." "I can only acceptyonr generous offer on one condition, said Nicholas. "And what is that?' "That you will become my wife. A vivid flush came over Miss Hetty's countenance. She couldn't think of such a thing, sho said. Nevertheless, an hour afterwards tho two united lovers had fixed upon the wedding day. . . .1 The house docs not loolc so prim as it used to. Tho yard is redolent with many irairranb uuwhid, iuu ituuv uvur is half open, revealing a littlo girl play ing with a kitten. "Hetty," said a matronly lady, "you havo got tho ball of yarn all over the floor. What would your father say if be should Bee it?" "Never mind, mother; it was only kitty did it" Marriage has filled up a void in the heart of Miss Hetty. Though not so prim, or perhaps careful as sho used to be, sho is a good deal happier. Throo hearts aro filled with thankfulness at every return of Miss Hendersons Thanksgiving day. Yankee Blado. THANKSGIVING. Somethlug- of the Orlgla and History at the Day. Of all our National holidays, we have only one that is unique. Christmas and New Year's we celebrate in common with the bulk of Christendom; Wash ington's birthday finds iti counterpart, in many countries, anl wo are not the only nation, by long oddi, that cole - bratcs an independence day. But, so far as wo know, no nation has a day set apart for tho giving of thanks for the mercies and blessings received from tho Giver of all good. In other countries there are Thanks giving days, but thoy aro ceiobrated at irregular intervals and owe their origin to peculiar causes. Somo years ago, England had a Thanksgiving day over tho recovery of the Prince of Wales from a severe ill ness, and similar thanksgivings have boon held in all European countries. In Russia, when tho Czar escapes one of tho numerous attacks on bis life, a Thanksgiving day is appointed to give thanks; and in Oriental countries it is usual to appoint days of thanksgiving to colebrato such weighty events as the coming of ago of tho rulor's eldest'son, tho marriage of his daughter, the birth of an heir, and so forth. But tbeso days have nothing in common with our Thanksgiving day. The first Thanksgiving day of which wo havo any record was held in Plymouth Colony when Governor Brad ford was at tho head of affairs. In tho autumn of 1031 the exact data is uncertain tho Governor sont out four men to gathor game, so that tho whole colony might "rejoice togethor" after thoy had garnored tho fruit of their labors. Tho following year (1G32), at tho same season, after tho abundant harvest was collected, tho colonists as sembled, and, according to an old chron icle, "solemnized a day of thanksgiving unto the Lord." At this celebration, according to tra dition, Massasoit and his court attended and feasted with the whites. Then Thangsgiving day seems to havo been forgotten until 1031, when it was revived under peculiar circum stances. Tho harvest of tho previous year had boon very poor, and during tho winter provisions of all kinds were so scarce that tho colony was in actual danger of starvation. Tho 83d of Feb ruary was apppointod to bo obsorved as a fast day, but, before that day came, a vessel arrived from Europe, laden with provisions. Governor Bradford was quick to takn advantage of tho changed state of affairs, and issued a proclama tion changing the day of fast to one of feasting. This was tho first Thanksgiv ing day by regular proclamation. New Nethurland (afterward New York) observed Thanksgiving day oc casionally, and Governor Kieft pro claimed a public thanksgiving to bo held in February, 1G44, on account of a victory over the Indians; and again in 1G45, because of theconclusion of pcaca Thero wero occasional thanksgivings in tho several colonies for the next hundred years, but no general observ ance until tho time of the Revolution. In those gloomy days, when ono might suppose that tho struggling colonies had littlo to bo thankful for, the Continental Congress issued an annual Thanksgiv ing proclamation, from 1775 to 1783, in clusive. But thero was no fixed date, varying from as early as April 6 to as lato as December 11. Tho later date occurred in 1770, when thero wero two Thanksgiv ing days; tho first being on May 16. Washington, as General of the army, issued a proclamation for Thanksgiving by the Continental army on December IS, 1477, and again at Valley Forge, May 7, 177S; and during his Presidential term ho appointed two' Thanksgiving days November itf, 1780. and February 19, 1795. This custom was followed by sno tessive Presidents, from time to time, but President Lincoln was the first President to issae a Thanksgiving proc lamation on two consecutive years. . Gradually the State executives fell into line, so that the custom is aow gen eral in all parts of the Republic, and Thanksgiving day is now a legal holi day. The observance of Thanksgiving, at first a day of rejoiciag, gradually be came a religious ceremony, especially daring the Revolutionary period. Then, with more prosperous times, it devel oped into a day of rejoicing aad family reuaioas, and in New Englaad almost eatirely supplanted Christmas. At the preseat day it is a miaer Christmas, wherein religions observ ances are combined witn sports and jollity. The giving of presents has never pre vailed on Thanksgiving day, bat it is none the less a day of pleasaat reaniona aad family gatherings. We have not nil harvests to be thankful for, bat we all participate in the general prosperity of theceaatry. Indeed, it ia doabtfal if there ia oae person, young or old, who can look back a twelvemonth aad not ty events to be thaakf al far. - AsaNatioa we have veer fewoUdava not amwa te we have.

Mr. Blaino suggested that tho beat modo of resisting retaliation or un friendliness was to make the system ab solutely complete and perfect, and ho asked Mr. Raymond if he thought it was so. Mr. Raymond answered that ho had so regarded it Mr. Blaino said that it would be much more satisfactory to the section from which ho cams if Halifax and St. John could treat New England as fairly and as generously as Portland and Boston treated tho provinces. Tbcy might land any cargo of fish or any thing olso at Portland and ship to their homes, but the American fisherman makincr his catch hundreds of miles beyond the three-mile limit could not secure that privllejre from the lowor provinces.

LOST AT SEA. The British CraUer Serpent l.ost at Men With All on Board Kieept Three. Lomiox, Nov. 13. Tho British tor pedo cruiser Serpent has foundered off tho coast of Spain. The vessel was a twin screw steamer of 770 tons and 4,500 horse power. Sbo carried six guns The Serpent was lost at a point twen ty miles north of Cape Finlstore. Out of a total of 350 souls on board only thrco wero saved. The Serpent wont on tbo rocks dur ing a storm on Monday night A hoavy mist prevailed at tho time of the dis aster. Owing to tho violence of the storm it was impossible to sond assist ance from tho shore Tremendous seas swept thCdecks of the doomed vessel, carrying away group after group of the unfortunato men on board. Tho news of the wreck was convoyod to Corunna, a distanco of sixty miles, over mountain roads The Serpent's complement was 170 officers and men. Tho others on board were going out to relieve men now on ships on tho African station. The three persons saved from the Serpent aro sailors who swam ashore at Camarinas, They express the belief that all tho others on board were drowned but only four bodies have been washed ashore as vet Thero is no tel egraph station at Camarinas. The Serpent was built after tho ideas of Admiral Kay, who insisted upon an immense horso power, which, according to previous notions, was out ef all pro portion to her displacement. She could maintain a speed of seventeen knots an hour. Lord Brassoy in his naval annual adversely criticises the vessel. He ssld that economy of weight had boon car ried to excess in the construct. on of the ship, that ber p ating was too thin and that her armament was overdone. In a sea way, ho said, her heavy top weight would be a detriment to her speed, and would unduly strain her hull. The vessel was 225 feet long, while she had a draught of 14K feet The relatives of tho crew of the Serpent at Plymouth and tbo dockyard people are full of gossip about the lost cruisor. It is claimed that she was unseaworthy aad she broke down on all her tr al trips Commander Rcss Is said to have been in tb.3 habit of treating his men with undue severity.

They would like you to think that what's cured thousands won't cure you. You'd be lieve in patent medicines if they didn t protess to cure everything and so, between the experiments of doctors,! and the experiments of patent! medicines that are sold onlv "stuff," you lose faith in every iking. And, you can't always tell the prescription that cures by what you read in the papers. So, perhaps, there's no better way to sell a remedy, than to tell the truth about it, and take the risk of its doing just what it professes to do.
