COI.VMnill, ilEB, A HAPPY TIIAJVKSGIVirVQ. A I,ot Hoy Flmlx the Home oi" Hi Parents After Seventeen Yeurs of Wuiiderintf A Hitp Iy 'I'liiiBlriviiir ICeuulun 1b bb Iowa Farm Iloase. There was one happy household, at leapt, in l'olk county, on Thanks giving il:iv. There was rejoicing, and caufo lor rejoicing, in the home of John Cesout, of Washington Township, ever tho return of a son, whom they had not seon nor heard from for seventeen years. In 1860, Mr. John Crossout, an humble tiller of the soil in the Buck eye state, resolved to remove to the rich prairies of Iowa with a hope of betterinsr his coudition. His family consisted of his wilo aud two chil drena boy of thirtcou and a girl ol ten. His health aud that of his family whs good, and he thought that by settling upon a new farm upon the fertile prairies of Iowa he might secure a competence for him self and them. Accordingly he sold his (arm in Ohio, aud with his fam ily look up his weary jouruoy over land toward the setting sun. Iu those days the railroad facilities were not so abundant as at present, and the only direct and passable route laid through the city of Chi cago. When he arrived at Chicago he tarried a few days in order to confer with somo land owners iu reference to the purchase of a farm. During their stay iu the city, Robert, his son, availed himself of the oppor tunity to sco the sights, and accom panied hi father in his walks about town. One day, while his father was busily engaged in conversation with a land-broker, Robert stepped out, and, Feeing a large crowd down tho street, thought he wonld go and find out what was the matter. When he reached the mob and found that it was only a street auction, ho de termined to go farther on, and pur sued his walk down the street until ho reached the wharf, whero the ships and steamers were lying by the hundteds. Having never seen a steamboat before, ho was naturally lost in wonder. Seeing a great crowd entering ouo of tho large steamboats, he thought he would go on also, and look around, as ho sup posed the crowd were doing. So he went aboard and wandered down into the cabin, and finally down into the hold, where the great engines were situated. While engaged in viewing the wonders about him the steamer loosed her cables and start ed on her journey over the lake. He suddenly became aware of the fact that the steamer was moving, aud hastened on deck but too late. The vessel was far out in the lake, aud when ho reached the upper deck the city of Chicago, that held all that was dear on earth to him, was only a speck in the distance. lie told his story to the Captaiu, but in vain. The Captain thought ho was only a vagabond who was endeavoring to steal his passage over tho lake, and would not listen to him, but told him If he did uot keep quiet he would deliver him up to the officers of the law on their arrival at Grand Haven, and have him put in prison. So Robert was compelled to dry his tears and conceal his emotion, know ing that every revolution of the great paddle-wheels of the steamer boro him farther away from bis par ent? and sister. When his father found bis boy was lost he secured the aid of several detectives, and mado a thorough search of tho city lo find him, but in vain. After a fruitless search of over a week, he was compelled to givo his sou up as lost, and pursue his journeying toward Iowa. The mother's grief knew no bounds. She wept continually, and, like Rachael of old, refused to be comforted. Her boy her only son, tho pride of her heart was lost and only God knew what his fate may have been. So, with a broken heart and anxious mind, she took up her journey with her husband and daughter to their uew home in Iowa. They reached this Stato in the fall of 1SC0, aud settled on a new farm of 160 acres, in Washington Township, Polk county. Fortune favored them, and Mr. Crcssout made money very fast. He was a prudent, economical man, and his wife was the best of wives in every sense a helpmeet. His lands grew broader, bis herds multiplied, and in a fow years he gained a hand some competence. But the 1o;b of his son was the ono great shadow of his life, as well as that of his wife. Around their cheerful fireside the subject would be related, and the tears of Borrow would fall like a ummor rain whenever Robert'8 name was mentioned. But what of Robert? When he found himself in Grand Haven, Mich., the destination of the steamer, be knew not what to do. He had no money with which to telegraph to his friends, and no one would be lieve his .story. So be was com pelled to go to work at something, and finally secured employment in a largo saw-mill as a driver of a saw-dust cart. Ho worked here for some time, until he obtained some money, and then set about trying to fiud his parents. He advertised in tho Chicago papers, but to no avail. At last be gave it up, and concluded it was useless to crntinuo the search. His life was passed for several years iu Michigan. He worked at odd jobs in various towns and cities iu that State Detroit, Lsnsing, Ann Arbor, Jackson, Saginaw and others. At last ho determined to come to Iowa, and endeavor once more to find his parents. He landed in Iowa in 1S74, and went lo work in Du buque as clerk in ono of the hotels. He hoped by occupying this posi tion to gain some clew as to the whereabouts of his parents. But time passed on, aud he failed to hear any tidings of them. About a mouth ago ho saw the name of John Crcs sout iu the Stale Register, and tho't it must be that of his father. He came to this city the Monday beforo Thanksgiving, and inquired of the newspaper men aud hotel-keepers as to the knowledge of his father. They directed him to the office of the County Recorder. He went and found his father's name recorded upon the book of deeds as a farmer in Washington Township. Arriving there, he inquired whether John Cressout lived thereabouts. He was directed to a large, comfortable house, surrounded by spacious barns aud having the appearance all around of thrift and wealth. Let us paint the picture. It is Thanksgiving day. Everything is busy in John Cressout's kitchen. The large table in tho spacious dining-room is being loaded with savory food. The ovens are steaming with crisp, browu turkeys, dressed in the most fragrant trimmings that tho skillful hand of a hounewife could prepare. The parlor is filled with a happy party of friends and neigh bors of Mr. Cressout, who had gath ered by invitation to partake of his Thanksgiving hospitality. There is a knock at the front door. Mr. Cressout attends to it. A stalwart, handsome young man, with a bright look and a perfect form, stands be fore him. He informs the stranger that this is the home of Mr. John Cressout. He is invited to a private room, and, at his request, Mrs. Cres sout is summoned, as the 6tranger informed Mr. CressoLt that he has a few private questions to ask them. Mrs. Cressout appears and seats her self by the side of her husband. The stranger asks them if they had a son by the name of Robert, who was lost in Chicago some seventeen years ago. They reply with anxious breath that they had. The stranger rises and makes himself known. Let us withdraw. The sceno is too sacred for the public gaze. It is the reunion of loving hearts, the return of a wanderiug son. It was a day for thanksgiving indeed. It was a red-letter day in the homo of John Cressout. No happier home than this could be found In all the domain of nature. With the patriarch of old cot Id they exclaim, "Rejoice, for my son that was dead is now alive ; ho that was lost is found." Des Moines Iowa) Register. True Story of William Tell. He was captain of an archery club, and one of the best shotB with the bow and arrow. The country was then under the rule of tho tyrant Gesler. One day Gesler sot his slug hat on a pole for men to salute, and ordered that every man in Altorf should make obeisance to il or die. And they did, every one of thorn. Even the trees standing rouud made their best boughs. Finally Bill Toll came along with his little boy. He told the man at Altorf that before he would bow to Gesler's hat he would 'Altorf and stamp on it. That was the kind of a bow an' arrow he was. Gesler arrested him on the spot, being marshal of the village as well as tyrant, thUH drawing a salary from two offices, contrary to the constitu tion. Ges'er, as a punishment for his audacity, ordered him to 8hoot an applo from the head of his boy. This be did, although it was an arrow escape for young Tell. The apple fell, pierced to the core, no encore beiug allowed, owing to the extreme length of the performance. As Tell rushed forward to embrace hiB boy an arrow dropped out of his vest. "Ha?" cried the tyrant, "wherefor concealest that arrow ?" Replied Tell, pointing to Gesler's head gear on top of the pole, "To shoot that hat 1" The joke was so good that GoBlcr released him and gave him a twenty dollar gold piece. Saturday Night. A young fellow In Brooklyn tried to frighten a Brooklyn widow by appearing as her husband's ghost. He is dead. We believe it was a flat irou. Usieof Drest. No matter what man may write or say upon the subject, the woman ly woman will always pay consid erable attention to her dress, as she should. Indifference and conse quent inattention to dress often show pedantry, self-righteousncs or indolence. It is not a virtue, but a defect in the character. Every woman should study to mako the best of herself with the means at her command. Among the rich the love of dress promotes somo degree of exertion aud display of taste in themselves, and .fosters ingenuity and industry in inferiors; in the middle classes it engenders contri vance, diligence, neatness of hand ; among the humbler it has its good effects. So loug as dress merely in terests, amuses, occupies such time and such means as wo can reasona bly allot to it, it is salutary ; retiuing tho tastes aud the habits, and giving satisfaction and pleasure to others. Sensible men like to seo thuit wives aud daughters well dressed, andjake pride In tholr appearance. The woman who has not some nat ural tuste in dress.some 'o ve of nor'l ty, some delight in the combination of colors, must be deficient iu a sense of the beautiful. As a work of art, a well-dressed woman Is a study. Consistency, in regard to station and fortune, is the first matter to be consider d. A woman of good sense will uot wish to expend in un necessary extravagancies, money wrung from the hands of an anxious, laborious husband; or if her hus band be a man of fortune she will not even encroach upon her allow ance. It will be her study to dress well with as little expense as pos sible; for it is unbecoming to no woman's dignity to be cureful of the clothes she wears, and to be econom ical in her expenditure. "When love of dress is indulged in beyond the compas of means, it cannot be too severely condemned. But it is the duty of every woman to dress ac well as she can. For tho Jocrnai.. Meet Tour Husband with a Smile. I've tried it, Sarah, and putting flowers by bis plate at table. There were but few, such as golden rod, wild astors, and radish tops going to seed, but I willingly laid them on the altar of affection, hoping for great results. Put a sunflower in my hair just back of the comb, and it lay thero in bright contrast, (my hair being black). Then I fixed up some of his favorite dishes, for I believe in suppers for meu folks. Ho came and siw, but I did not conquer, in fact can uot Bee much difference in the coming-home time. Only that evening I went down, met that husband of mine, told him the night was very dark, and I did not like to come back alone. Ho came, but seemed a little bewildered at being at home belore his usual hour of ten. I havo been looking over the case and hare come to this con clusion; that late hours as a habit, except when necessary, are produc tive of more head - aches, more heart-aches, more doubts, more di vorces, more hatred and more hell on earth than any other innocent looking evil under the sun. There fore we will come back to our start ing point aud Bay, husbands, when you see flowers pretty or common by your plate, take the gentle hint. Wives love appreciation and praise. Be to them what you wore before you won their hearts, patient, loving and true, and watch that in coming houib ye fall not out by the way. A loving wife is your truest riend, except your Cieator, but late hours are a- an enemy in the dark. Gypsie'b Wakninq. IetaIIs. The talker who insists upon enter ing into tiresome details on every subject is generally considered a bore. Iu that way eome excellent people make themselves disagreea ble to others. Many housekeepers have this fault. It is foolish of them to make their work the subject of couversation at all the meals and at the occasions for social intercourse in the evening hour, for it irritates the husband and children, alti ongh all are too respectful to say so. "Women would do well to examine tbemsolves in regard to thb point, and avoid the persistent habit or telling over how much they have done. On the other hand for we like fair play tho husband should uot forget that his wife is a faithful worker, and to give her an encour aging word now and then. If a man should make au appropriate remark, a wife would be foolish then to tire him with relating the details, while he would be careful not to express himself again. Bear and forbear, and a careful study of one another's necessities for sympathy is needed to make domestic happiness. The wife should not expect too much estimation of her labor from her husband ; neither should he leave her to struggle alone with her side of difficulties of household life, espe cially where there is a family of children. He should ever be ready with advice and help. Women' Coarersntlesu What a good thing it would be if women would only upcak their minds. There is nothing that honest men desire uiore thau to understand that mysterious race that is bo like them and yet so unlike, who shares their homes but not their thoughts, who are so shrewd, so practical and so irrational. The poor men years to break down the invisible barrier and see into the real Ufa of those they love so well ; but the loved one smile and chatter and say pretty thing, and ingenious things, and things they have borrowed from men aud improved in the borrowIug,but never one word of tho real thoughts that are working in their busy braius. So the men flatter and Us because they think tho women like it, and the women accept it all be cause thry think it is mau's nature; and the tnou think women are empty hoadi d angels ; aud tho womeu think men are flue intelligent brute ; aud tho two classes go ou loving and despi.-dng one another accordingly, and all for the want of a little trutb fnluesn in conversation. The Trae Wife. Oftentimes I have seen a tall ship ijlldo by agninM the tide a if drawu by invisible tow line with a hun dred strong arm pulling It. Her sail unfurled, her streamer droop ing; she had neither side-wheel nor sterij-w heel ; still she moved ou tatelv in serene triumph, as with her own lite. But I know that ou tho other sidu of tho ship, hiddeu beneath the bulk that swam so ma jestically, there was a little toilsome ritpam tug, with a heart of flre and aim of iron, that was tugging it bravely on ; ami I fcuew that if the litijo steam tug uulwiued her arms and leit liio chip, it would wallow and roll away, and drift hithorand thither, and go off with tho effluent tide no inau know where. And so I have known more than one genius, high-decked, full-weighted, wide sailed, gay-pennoned; but for the bare, toiling arm and brave warm heart of the faithful little wife that nestles close to him so that no wind or wave can part them, he would have gone down with the stream aud been heard of no more. Ex. "Ah, good evening Miss Brown, began the pastor; I didn't see you at church this morning." uUo Mr. Smith," was tho reply, "I was some what indisposed. So I remained at home nud read a few chapters of Mark instead." "A fine, thoughtful young lady," thought tho pastor. Miss Brown supposed of course that ho understood her to refer to Mark Twaiu.
