The old man went Into the oara, and taking down a Saddleu tried , to nit it to tne Dncfc of apony. A radden ' Rheumatic twinge:" straci through his back and armsV and It fell short, grazing the horse-'s rough Bide and dropping to the straw-lit-ered ground. He tried again and again, butwlth no -better success. : "It's no use," he groaned; "the mis ery has got me again, and this is the end." ? He leaned hia head against the horse's warm shoulder and something like a dry sob came. The pony rubbed his nose against the man's down-hanging hand. "You know; Dick, don't you? I can't get on the :saddle, boy. Old Jerry's working days are done." . He dragged the saddle out of the way, and followed the line of cows , afoot down the 'lane. ...... Li Well, I declare,' said Martha Sim ins, looking, out of the kitchen win Mow. -"If there don't go Uncle Jerry lllmping down the road after them cows, and a-saddle horse in, the barn '.pating his head off; I wonder if he wants to.get sick, again, and me with '."til that company coming for Thanks giving! I've no time to be" heating flannels and fussing with him. It " seems as If the. older nj3n growhe less 8oii3e they get," The $ow3 were cropping tha scanty grass along the roadside and wonder- fctg In a slaw bovine, way why the gate o. the tuja pasture was ep long in : ppenlng. ; Uncle Jerry . leansi against the ; fence and watched them feeding. He ; taew every cow.ia the herd! they had . all fed from nU hand. . He loyed the long atretch. of tule, f the "farms among the oak trees; he v cou!3 tell when every one was settled, and the mark of each year's, back water. . He knew where the ducks liked to feed,- and the geese came swooping, on. the sprouting grain.. . As he stood there he thought of the long summer days when he .watched the sheep feeding far out' on the tule, of the mirage low in the sky, the .scur rying of - rabbits and the flight of blackbirds. Theji of winter nights, when the green, tule was a raging sea, and:the safety of the crops of the year hung on the strength of the levee and the vigilance of ', the watchers. This had been his life,1 and now he had come to the end of the lane. ' -, ' '. ' .

The neighbor came by-and they started for towji. "You may let m9 out at the county hospital." x "Whew, Ucclo Jerry t how'B that?" "Rheumatiz, Henry; it's como again. I can't bother Marthy, so I'm coming up here and doctor a spell." The warden showed him into a long, low room, full of beds. It seemed to be the sitting room, too. ! Half a dozen convalescents were huddled round the stove, and from a distant corner distressed breathing told of a very sick man. . ' It was a poor place; there were no nurses; old men loaflng there through the winter on pleas of Illness helped wait on the helpless patients; the others did for one another, ' Uncle Jerry was very homesick, He was seldom out of pain, and it hurt iilm to see how little chance to get well the poor fellows had. The doctor's orders were often disre garded, or carelessly fulfilled. ' One young boy was very sick with the pneumonia in the bed next to him. Uncle Jerry took to nursing him. The poor lad," he thought; "he's too.young to lose his chance of life. " He began fo do things for the others, to keep account of the hours for medicine, and- pin it; to each rough headboard. .He madejigrueX heated milk and' fixed the flr. The doctor began to depend on hijn. ?I'm good for something, after allp the old; man would say, "and perhaps-the "Lord sent the rheumatiz to just, get" me here." -: ' . .

"O, Uncle Jerry," cried the young man, """I want to do something for you." . "You'can, Johnny, boy; you can do lots for me here. I'd like some papers to read and a bit of a duck or a chicken now and then tc fix up for a poor appetite. Then i'd line just to see yoa, when, you come up to town, and know about your work. O, there's lots you can do; but, boy, I want to keep my Thanksgiving here, doing some good in God's world.' Christian Advocate. A SONG OP THANKSGIVING.
