Ursula's Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving Kve, and Ursula Hull Wiis mini tit; homo from her daily task of toil at the district school. The little mountain stream wan al choked with dead leaves; the gourd slicU lay broken in pieces among t ho ycllo.ving ferns; and as Ursula slopped to gather up a scarlet vino-leaf which still reti.inod its vivid glow, the setting sun burst from a liank of sullen clouds and seemed to encircle the whole world with it belt of amber light, while a sud den gust of frost-seeuted, autumnal wind swept the leaf from her hand and sent it eddying fantastically down the dark wood-path. Ursula sighed. It is like an omen of evil," said she. " I was thirs'y, and the spring is full of leaves and the shell broken; I wanted the bright leaf, and the wind has Mown it away. And I don't know how I am ever to tell grandfather ami grandmother about the district school." Then, quickening her footsteps, .-die hurried down the mad. never pausing until she readied an old. steep-roofed house, painlcd a dull red, ami hall' hid den by the giant boughs of huge chest nut tree?. There ha 1 been an old toll-gate there dice, but it hail long been disused, and nothing remained of it but a sort of pietiuvsn'i.' ,ir, h over the roadway, all tw incd w it ti w ild vine-. And i rand fat lor Mall was ca.rying an armful id' wood into the kitchen door as Ursula cattle up. Grandmother Hall was knitting by the lire, in her cushioned rocker. It w;is live years .since Gr.indnioilier Hail had put her if t to the floor, yet she was indomitably chcei lul through it ail. If there was a bright side to anything, Grandmother Hall always loiind it out; if not, she set herself to work to imagine one. "Ah, here you are, Ur.-uly !" paid the old man, mournfully. "And high time ymi come. The old turkey-hen is lost, and the apple sns.s is ,-cordicd, and Lewis Crawford hain't called for them eggs, and if they ain't sold we shan't have a j enny to put in the ruiitri but ion plate b -morrow, after the Thaiiksgiv ing sen ices. "Laws sakes. fatlcr," said Mrs, Hall, "what's the use of raiuin' evil news on Ursula like that ? Don't you stc she looks pale and tired? The 1'irkey-hefi is safe in Hie branches of t ie seehel pear-tree; I saw her just imw. Ami as for thoapple-sass, I don't dislike a little scorch inyselt; it gives fiovor. And I'm sartin sure Lewis Craw ford'll come along yet. it ain't late, ymi know.'' And, leaning over until you would have been sun? she must lose her bal ance, (iraudmolher Hall opened the oven-door to see how the johnny-cakes were getting on. Cor corn-meal was cheap, and the old lady had a fashion of ri producing it in every possible style. "Granny," said Ursula, w ith a quiv ering lip, " I'd better tell you at once Niiiro Dean's daughter is to have the district school next quarter, They don't need my services any longer, they say. Oh, gianny, granny ! what is to become of us?" Old Mr. Hall sat down with a groan. "1 knowed there was some ill luck fitming," said he. "There was a rab bit ran across the orchard path when I went to pick up apples right square across the path!" " Father, don't," said the old lady, swallow ing some sort of a lump in her throat. "That's clear superstition. Don't fri t, Ursuly. We shall get along somehow, never fear." "Oh, yes." sighed Grandfather Hall, .satirically, " we shall get along, even if we have- to burn up the side of the house to keep us warm, and gnaw our finger-ends for food. Things is coming tii a crisis now. mother. Squire Dean was over to see mo about the place to day. It's to he sold at auction Mon day, two weeks and I'd like to know what is to become of lis then. Ah. it was a black day when I lent that money to .Stephen (iregson, and bur dened the old house with debt. I might have known hi! was a scamp, or he wouldn't Lave wanted to go away j and leave the spot where he was born." Ursula winced at this. She knew perfectly well that if it had not been for her persuasions, Grandfather Hall never would have mortgaged his house and farm. Ms per rent seemed a golden invest, meiit; and besides --besides, Ursula had liked Stephen Grcgsnn, with his bright, bitio eyes, his clear voice, ami his contagiously sanguine tempera ment. "When I've made my fortune, Ur sula." he had said, gaily, "I'll come hack ami marry you." "Don't talk nonsense, Stephen," she had said, vv ith a laugh. liut it bad uut, seemed like nonsense in the scen t depths of her heart. She had pondered many and many a time over his emphatic words, but they had failed to come (rue. Probably Stephen (iregson hadn't made the expected fortune. Certain it was that 1m had not come home to marry her. And Ursula was begin ning to coincide with Grandfather Hall's misanthropic theory --that all the world win askew. Grandmother Hall was silent, she was glad now tha'. she had never told her hu..banil and Ursula about the twenty-live dollars that she had lent cousin Abby Miller -the hoarded store of silver in the stocking-leg. which she had parted with to help the friendless old maid to open a little millinery in the city. "I'm itl'raid it's money thrown aw ay." thought Grandmother Hall. "I did s'uise Abby would at hat have w rit ten word about it. lint there! what is the u -not crying about spilled milk? 1 dar-say Abby feels as bad about it as I do, poor, solitary tr etur! Anyway, Ursuly," she said, breaking theoppres sive silence, "there's one tiling we hae to be thankful for the pumpkins ripened splendidly in the corn-stubble-and 1 guess you'd belter slice tip one to-night for the pies; and lather must cut the hen-turkey's head oil' bright and early. It may be our lasf Thinks gi ing in t he old place, and we'll keep it as it ought to I e kept. Come, the! tea is drawn -we'll all !"i I better for a j good, hot cup." "Tain t n . use." said old Mr. Mall, shaking lii.s h ad. " Nothing ain't no use. ' Ursula, t io, was ilNcoiirugc.l. Grand mother Hall s;iw it in her face, even though she spoke no word. They ha I scarcely seated tluniselves at the little round cherry-table, when it knock came to the door. "It's the sheriff to serve the mort gage paper." said old Mr. Hall, whose ideas of the law were rather vague. " It's Lewis i 'raw ford alter the eggs," said Mrs. Hal1, more hopefully. Hut it wu. neither one northe other It wiis it little old woman in a black silk hat, it respectable doih eh ak ami a hrown-sttilf dress -Miss Abby .Miller herself. "Good evening. Cousin Hall!" said she. " I've com.' to spend Thanksgiv ing with you." "And you're kindly wclcoiiie.'Yhirpcd the oi l lady. " l i -uly, set a chair lor Abby, and take her things." " if ut first." said Mi-s Abby, " I must pay my debts. Here's the twenty live dollars I borrowed of you, with ten dollars for interest; and I know. Cousin Hall, you'll be pleased to know that I've prospered and ma le money in the millinery business, that I never could have got into it it hadn't been for your good nature and generosity. And here," producing a willow basket nearly as largo as herself, "is the finest turkey in Fulton Market, and three quarts of cranberries, and a doz en of oranges, and a pot of guava jelly; my contiibution 'o to-morrow's house keeping. And if it wiis forty times as much, it wouldn't be half what I owe yoll. Cousin Hall!" And Mi-s Abby Miller, failing in an attempt to laugh, began to cry, and ended up by hugging old Mrs Hall with all her might. Tea was hardly over before a new visitor arrived on the scene Doctor l'urdy, the chairman of the local board of trustees. "What's this about Squire Dean's daughter ousting you front your place, Miss Hall?" he asked. "1 have been told--" began Uusula. "Xo matter what you hao been told." said the doctor. " I've seen Mr. McAllister, and he and I both agreed that you are not to ho disturbed. You suit us exactly, and we intend thai you shall retain the position, if there were a doen Miss Deans to be provided for. You'll remain, eh ?" Gladly, if you wish it," said Ursula visibly brightening up. "And if Dean don't like it, he can lump it," ahled Doctor l'urdy, inde pendently. He had not been gone half an hour when the knocker they never had ar rived at the digaitvof a door bell at Grandfather Hall's sounded again "Why," cried the old lady, who sat where she could seethe door, "it's it's Stephen Gregson!" "Of eouise its Stephen Gregson,'' said a deep, masculine, voiio. "And he's travelled night and day to be in time to spend his Thanksgiving day with the best friend.; he has in tie world. And 1 should have been here earlier," cordially wringing the ham! of all the group us he spoke, "if I hadn't stopped at Squire Dean's to clap a stopper on that confound "d mortgage business he's so sharp after." "Ain't the place lo be furei lo-e.l, then?" said Gramlfa'her I bill, in a halt'-comprehending manner. "Foreclosed!" shouted Stephen Gr- g son. " N'ot if 1 know it. Ami Un tiling never would have been thought of if the lawyers I wrote to in New York hadn't been scamps ami cleared out wilh tho money I sent, 'cm six months ago to pay up the mortgage. However, here I am in time at hi t. with the amount of thedebt I ovveyoii. safely lodged in ihe Wickhani Hank, and enough besides to icttli: up all costs iind charges. Why, how well you all look! And Miss Abby Mill, r has actually grown young, and Ursula's cheeks itre as pink as crape-myrtle. Yes, yes, Ursula, our old dreams have come true. I've made my fortune. and I've come back to marry you." Ah, inconsiderate lover that he was thus to'blurt out his courtship before the old people and Miss Miller. Hut it never was Stephen Gregson's way to be secretive; and they all seemed to be as much interesled about it as Ursula herself. Hut they had the discretion not to look toward that particular part of the kitchen where the big lish-goraiiinui grew in a paint ed tub, when Heplun and Ursula had gone there to look at the new scarlet buds, just opening out. "It seems likea dream!" said Ursula, ecstatically, a.s she ami Stephen togeth. or stood at the window, watching the moon vvaiie through the masses id struggling cloud. "Grandfather and grandmother provided for; the dear old home all our own; ymi back here, faithful and unchanged, and our wed ding to be in February. Oh, how can eve b,i tlriikfiit enough?" While (irandl'ath 'i' Hall was saying the same thing by the lircside. "We shall keep Thanksgiving to morrow, with good reason, eh, moi It er ?" he uttered. And old Mrs. Hall answered, fer vently: "I shall keep Thanksgiving all my life!" Nautical liloqueuce. j A rpeakcr who attempts to use nau tical metaphors should be thoroughly famili ;r with the sea and the working of a ship, or he will strand his speech. A clergyman was once supplying a pulpit by the si aside. Thinking to impress the truth more distinctly upon the congregation, many of whom were seamen, he drew the figure of a ship trying to enter a harbor against a high wind. Unfortunately for the success of his metaphor, he knew little id' seaman ship. Alter putting the ship into sev eral singular positions, he cried out in a tone intended to be emphatic: "What shall we do next ?" "The Lord only knows," exclaimed a disgusted old tar, "unless you let her drift ,steru foremost." The prince of sailor-preachers, Father Taylor, wa once silenced by a coin liimiii to his eloquence. He had depicted the impenitent sinner under the figure of a storm-tossed ship, w ith her sails split, and driven by the gale toward the rock-bound coast of Capo Ann. "O, how," he exclaimed, in tones of despair, "shall this sin-tossed sinner be saved ?'' Instantly an old salt in the gallery, who had listened with open mouth and straining eyes to the preacher, jumped to his feet, and in a voice that would have sounded above a hurricane, shout ed: "Let him put his helm hard down, and bear away for Squatn."

Next we pass to I'lyu .nth, when- in HI-1, the iiut iimn alt-r the arrival, a notiibh; iii.iuksgiviiig was held. The brief accounts present a joyous picture. Asweleam from Window, the har vest being gathered, the govern, r "sent four men out fowling, that so we might, after a ,-pecial manner, re joice together," ;.nd the traditional turkey was milled to the abundant venison. The people gave tin m adv i s up to recreation, end the great chief Massasoil was feast id for three days with his ninety swarthy retainers. I'ossibly on this lirst Plymouth thanksgiving, there was more carous ing than we suppose, while there is not the slighted indication of any re ligious observance, Massa-oil and his braves, iiodoiibt, enjoyed it ii'l greatly, ns the thanksgiving idea was i nli r tiiined by (he Indians before their con tact with the whites, and in their cele brations there wits much execs . How much "comfortable warm water" the grave and rcw-r. ml ehb is themselves consumed during tlm. c three days of jollity, ISradfotd does not say. In ltiJ there is no 1m lit loll of thanksgiving, hut in biJ-i a day was kept, not, how ever, in the autumn its a harvest festival, Lul in .inly, upon the arrival of some provisions. Alter this nothing more is In iird i f thank giving at mouth for nearly half a century. N far a-; Ihe celo'iiul roe. ords go, they indicate that II. c day did not lind a revival until lo'c when there Wiis some kind of a t haa'.sgiv ing. Again, . I une 'J7, lo-'.', there v. a i a thanksgiving for the ;icee--;i n of William and Mary. In IH'.-o an u". tuinal thiiaksgjv ing was held, an I the next year I'lymouth cue ny was moil ed in Massachusetts, ami so pa. es out of the story. If any b stival i.iti be said to have been csla; iisiied, it wa established in imi: :i :t of the . us toiiis across the ea. I iind religion.-. Mich-ties, however, may hav kepi oc casional thauksgiv ings. as the people iit HariistaLIe observed thanksgiving on Df niber '22, l'''!'', and D. u m ber 11, H ;.;i. In the Mii-isachtisi tts colony the first thanksgiving was held at. llcston, July S 1G:i. it being a .-pecial m ea-f-ion, having no reference i i haivests. Again, in February, LI '.I. there was a thanksgiving, as aln a noticed. In the October following a thank -giving was held for the safe arrival of "Mrs. WinMirop and her children." In tins'' appointments we io i;ot i n I the thanksgiving thai we I now to-day, tur do we debit any fill design against Christmas. In !;.'. on June a, there was a thank-giving L r the vietoriis in the Palatinate, ami in di tcher another forthc harvest, lu ii'i-17 there Wiis a thanksgiving for victory over the Pequots, anil in lbo for the arrival of ships and for the harvest. The thanksgiving days from Idol to ltXI, numbered about twenty-one. or less than one in every two years. The celebration ol'I '.'('ii had special reference to tho victory over King Philip. From this period until the revolution, a thank-giving of some kind occurred m arly every other year, and even twice in the same year, ;n in 1712. Some of these days were a p. pointed by the royal governors, while again they were ordered by the King or (Jueen or by the home board of trade. After the close of the revolution a tendency to make Thanksgiving day a regular institution in New York, was id once apparent, ami Gov. John Jay. in 17'. '"i, issued a proclamation for the 11th of November. The act, however, Wits seized upon by politicians, who maintained that In- was seeking to Hat ter religious prejudices. At an early period, also, the Mayors of New York were accustomed to ap point a day of thanksgiving, in accord ance with the recommendations of the council, and that of December Id, n'.'.'. appears to have been thciir.-d so ordered. Yet the observance of the day until Gov. Clinton's time was more or less broken. Tho festival was kept, however, by Fpisoopalians. according to the revisions of the prayer-book, other religious bodies at the same time following their own preferences. Clinton's course, hke Jay's, excited criticism. At the cast end of Long I -land there was no little niti-muring because the day did not coincide with the local custom. 11 ap pears that the people of Last and Southampton observed thanksgiving on the Thursday alter the cat t le were driven home from the common pas tures at Montiiuk Point, thediiy of tho return of the catll" being fix d annu ally, with due solemnity, at the town lie '! ing.

Whether ii owes its invention I., t his people or not. they avail theni-selve- largely of its uses. The Jiipiin t -e umbielia is ;i seiisihle article in its a!. -phi mie and lightness, being made of piipei and I anil-no. When under one of them a man is nearly as safe as if he vv.is uader a shed, so far as tho falling ra n is in question, and the shade it hi) rds from the sun is "like unto that of ii great rock in a weary land." When b lib d, however, it pos sesses :i volume that is rather un wieldy am! inartistic in appearance. The average Japanese is seldom seen without his ii-.iibrelhi. It is an indis pensable iirtii le of comfort, an 1 rain or shine he places hini-.olf under its pro. teefion. If the same army of umbrellas was I be seen on our streets l hid is eo etantlv in sight on the street here it would be a novel spectacle, especially on a bright, sunny day. The garment most commonly worn is suited lor all the needs vt warmth or coolness. It is made with wide, flowing, square sleeves, and it is wrapper-shaped, open in front from top to bottom and lontined at tin waist by ;i long hand wound around the body a number of times. It is n very simple outfit. Comfort cannot exact any thing more simple. In the cold season these garments are dupli cated by the addition of wadded arti cles of the same character. Tho great multitude wear for headgear simply a piece of blue cloth tied about the temples, though the straw hat is List coming into use with many. OI course, there are many who have adop'ed tin F.uropean styles of cos tume throughout from head to foot. The unlive dress of the Japanese is not a costly on". 'tie of the garments in use in summer will cost about onti dollar and a half if made of cotton; j more, of course, if silk, WWWJJMIUIIPII1WUJI4,
