Whitt s Thanksartvlnsr Box Old for John Williams. T WAS the night before Thanks­ giving day, and the clocks in the n e igh b o rh o od were striking the hour of midnight asJohn Williams turned the key in the lock of the’ door of his room at a fashionable h o t e l in New York City. Bis hand was alittle unsteady, from a little sup- for ho had just come per after the opera whioh ho had shared in company with a lot of jolly acquaint* ancea and friends. To his great surprise, as he opened the door he stumbled over a large wooden box that nearly blocked up the doorway. Crowding past it through the door ho’made hia way Into the room, lit the gas and dragged in the box. Bis namo in - plain black letters caught his eye at once, and, marveling greatly as to Its contonts, be looked about him for means to open tho box. A m T.— A aa I* IliA As ho took o ff'th o cover a pleasant spicy odor diffused ltsolf through the room, and a little note was seen lying on.the heavy paper that securely hid HE TORE Ol’EN THE NOTE AND HEAD. from vlow tho contents bolow. Ho toro’ open tho note and read—read easily enough, for tho old-fashlonod charac­ ters were as- plain as print, although the hand that -had wrought them had trembled not a littln in tho writing. "M t D k A b S os —In this box you will find a few things from home. It Is tho llrst tlmo, John that you have over missed eating tho Thanksgiving dinner with us, and 1 could not hear to think that you would not have a share In the day’s pleasure, so I put up overy thing that I ooald pack and send so far, and you esn get some of your young friends to eat dinner withyon. I hope you will enjoy eating what I havo been nblo to send you. We were greatly disappointed when you wrote that you wen too busy to com" homo for Thanksgiving. Wo havo not seen you for a year, and somehow It*took all the heart oat of my work. Tho children will all be home except yon,-John, and wo will miss you verymuch. Your father Is not very-welt, ondhsd counted a good deal on seeing you, and takes It hard that you can’t ho here. God bless you, my dear boy. Your loving M other .” Wish a grave, thoughtful faco the young man arose and placed his moth* er’s letter carefully away; then, turning to the center-table, he cleared it of the gay litter o f cards, photographs and knickknacks that bestrewed it, and began to unpack the g ifts from borne. After several layers of wrapping- paper had been removed, a tempting vision rewarded his eager gaze. Repos­ ing peacefhlly on a bed of parsley lay a fat, juicy, tender young turkey in a golden-brown state of absolute perfec­ tion, whose Internal structure was com­ posed of n delightful compound of dress­ ing and oysters; and as John planed this bird on the table very tender thoughts arose in his heart of tho mother-love that bad planned this sur­ prise for him. A little jar of cranberry preserves glowed and glistened like rubies in the light as it was unwrapped and placed by tho side of tho turkey. And what was this that sent forth such juicy, appetizing odors as H was lifted up into the iight? What, Indeed, but a mince pie, rich and tempting, with a crust that was ready to melt In one's mouthI And then, of course, next camo out a pumpkin pie-t* beauty of a plo it was, too, with its rich golden face sur­ rounded by the border of whito crust, like a jolly old woman in a Cap. As John Williams placed the pie on the table he fell to thinking how law ­ fully his mother used to choose the pumpkins for the Thanksgiving pies. Through the hob scorching days of sum­ mer, and the dewy nighte and froets of autumn, the great yellow globes grew and ripened, and drank in the sun­ shine and the dew, end when they were gathered in, the whole family looked on while the mother shone theblggeet and the ripest pumpkin of all for the pies that graced the crowning feast of .thtffsr- TOgniug egain to tbHjtax, he brought ou f nougbnuts, 8uch M ho one but mother ever cen or ever does make; cookies, delicate end 'tender; and then greet slices of yellow po*Uld oakp, and fruit cake whose dark ntdee-were a store o t’delight for the onveS fortunate at to taste them. Three little glass jars of friilt preserves, whose transparent aldea revealed the beauty and riobneee pt their delloious eontents, as they were carefully unwrapped,' came out next; Then, from out its fnany wrappers, the young man drew a glass-of quiver­ ing, amber quince jelly, with Its-won- drously-delicate color and flavor, John's favorite daintyl A mother never.forgets the tastes of htr children,, and though he'would never know its history, his mother could have told quite a story of the infinite pains and trouble she had taken to got that jelly for his home-coming at Thanksgiving. The quince crop had been a failure that year, bat she had succeeded in procur­ ing a few gnarled little quiiices, and,) by the utmost earo and patience, had made from them that one glass of jelly for John. He nearly overlooked a , papor bag crammed with nuts—nuts from tho old walnut trees down in the b ig pasture, whose crop be bad gathered for many successive years in company with the boys of the neighborhood. There also wore hickory and butternuts, and they recalled the days o f autumn and the nutting frolies with the gay com­ panions. o f bis childhood, and the long evenings around the hearthstone, eat­ ing apples and cracking nuts, while tho circle that sat in the lig h t o f the big wood fire sometimes widened until all the older brothers and slaters and their little ones sat with them, and again narrowed down to three—-the dear old mother with her knitting on one side, and the father with his newspaper on the other, and ho himsolf, a little boy on a low Btool between them, eating nUts and looking in to tho burning em­ bers, and dreaming o f the days when he should bo grown up, and Bhould leave that hearthstone to seek bis fort­ une in the wide world beyond. For the last time he reached down into this .wonderful box and brought out applcs from the.old orchard. There were several of oach' variety that grew on tho place, and, yellow and green and red, fragrant and lovely, they brought tho smile of spring, tho sweot breath of summer and tho vigorous life of autumn in their golden hearts. With thorn came thd vision of the old orchard In tho spiing-time, with its weal th of pink and whito blossoms showering the green grass beneath the trees with fairy snow; green and cool and shady, bright with golden promises of coming pleasure through tho hot summer days; aqd then in autumn, when evory tree became as gay as U Christmas tree, decked in bright-colored balls that dancod in the wind and sunshine and woro gathered 111 with shout and faugbtor and stored away to help make merry tho long winter evenings around tho fireside. Tho momonts went by unheeded, while the young man sat and gazod upon the table heaped high with, the tokens of his mother's lovo and thought­ fulness and toll. His dark eyes were soft and dewy, as he mused long and deeply. Tho spicy odors filled tho room with inconse, that like a magic vapor .formed itself into imatres and visions of his childhood days. IIo saw tho long, low-roofed farm-houso,nostlod among the hills, tho broad meadows and fields surrounding it, and the shining river that flowed near the little rod pchool-house, whore .he first went to school; and memories came of a thous­ and incidents and scenes ot childhood and boyhood memories of his child com­ panions and friends, of his brothers and sisters, of himself the youngest child In a largo family, with the older ones set­ tled in their own homes. As he mused he saw the child John, now following his father as he wont shout the daily work on the farm, and now helping the mothorwlth hor household task, hia little hands always ready, his little feet never tired. He .thought o f the happy family gatherings at the old homestead, and the great family festi­ val of tho year—Thanksgiving day. Sweeter and dearer grew tho thoughts and memories of home, until, like the pure, fresh air of his native hills, they drove away tho enoravatlng effects of the atmosphere in which ho had been living for soveral months past. He saw then clearly the dangers of the course ho had been pursuing, tho weakness and folly of which ho had boon guilty. John Williams had not gone very far on the broad and pleasant road of sin, but for the last six months circum­ stances had thrown him with a set of gay young fellows, and he had been drifting with the tide. During the six years he bad Jived in the groat metro­ polis he had not mot with many tempta­ tions that appealed to him, but with steady promotion and increase of salary had come Intimacy with tho tons of his employers and acquaintance witli their friends. He had naturally a taste and admiration for tho refiued pleas­ ures that lie In tho power o f thoSo who have wealth and leisure, and was Able to gratify hio„ intellectual and social tastos with his now sot of friends, but, fascinated and dazzled by their ways and doings, he becamo impatient with his lo t He despised things that used to content him, and atrovo to find means to add to his salary, and in his feverish thirst for greater gain,and incompanion­ ship of his pew friends, he bad crowded down, down into * m y email corner o f his heart the duty and affection that were due’ttf the old folks at home. Stronger and clearer grew the vision* of home, until in fancy be could see the old bojno as It would pe on the morrow; could See the dinner-table with its load of good things, surrounded by the.fam­ ily and friends, snd could beer one another ask in surprise: "Why, where's John?*. He oould see the tear trem­ bling in hia mother’s eyp as she answered: "He wan too busy to oome home this year." "Too busy to go borne for Thanksgiv­ ing?" What evil spirit,'what foul fiend had prompted him to pen that message to grieve the dear old father's heart and bring a tear to those patient, loving mother eyes? Too busy? And the true self of John Williams rose up in its manhood and truth, and ho said: " I told my mother a ’paltry lie! What are my engagements for to-morrow with Mer­ ton and the rest of the boys compared to a visit home! I did not care to go, hardened young fool that l am! This box has been more to mo to-night, than mother ever dreamed It would be. It It has boefi the means of recalling me tb myself, and showing me bow foolish and selfish and unprincipled I bave been,” and a flush’ of shame oame over his face as he thought of his follies. Pulling out his watch, he scanned its face eagerly, and etolaimed: "1 can catch the early morning train (and get home in time to eat dinner ^vith the folks, and surprise them alL l am go­ ing home.” It did not take very long to write a note excusing himself from his engagement with his friend Morton for the next day, nor to write to his em­ ployers of his intended trip and the hour he would roturn on. .Friday, nor to prepare for his journey. In the midstof his preparations, how­ ever, he thought of the eatables on the table. The tender feelings that filled his heart forbade his leaving them to an uncertain fate. He hastily ran over his list of acquaintances' to seo if ha could think of any one to whom they would be an acceptable g ift At length he remembered two young medical Stu­ dents rooming a few squares away, whose acquaintance, he had made some weeks since, and as' he recalled the ac­ counts they had given him with the in­ genuousness of youth, of their peregrin­ ations from'ono cheap restaurant to an­ other, until in despair they were at­ tempting to do tboir own cooking, ho felt that there was the place to send bis. , mother’s gift. He repacked the box carefully as. possible, picturing to him­ self the delight with which those poor homesick boys would greet that turkey and mince pie. A brief note of explan­ ation to them replaced, bis mother’s note to him. He then hastily com­ pleted his preparations, loft, oxplicit directions concerning the Bending of tho box, and was soon on his way to the dopot. And tho box went to a farrow street and up four flights of stairs to a small back room, and made two young fellows sorlmppy that they called- in two other Student friends to enjoy their feast with them, and the way they devoured the turkey, pies, and other good things would astonish any who looked on, unless, indeed, like them, lie had hoen for two long months far away from home, and struggling along with slen­ der moans and eating at cheap eatings houses. , .• ' . , i The early morning train bor<* John Williams on and on, through the hours of tho forenoon, noaror and nouror the old place; and then, getting off At the little station, ho walked two miles along the old familiar roadway, and to tho little brown farm-house, and then through the low gateway and along the SHE MET HIM AT THE DOOR. walk, and as bis mother heard his well- known step upon the porch she ran to meet him at the door, Then there was the joy of meeting the father, the relatives and friends, young and old, gathered at the old homestead for the great family festival o f the year. Then the delightful meal prolonged until late in the day, and the happy evening around the hearthstone. That night John Williams slept once moro in the little, low-roofed chamber of his boyhood; and as ho dreamed the ambitions and hopes o f his pure and innocent youth came back to him and stayed with him over after, and though in later years evil visions and false hopes and ambitions might assail him, they never gained power over him again. Amid the care and responsibil­ ity of an upright business life he often looked hack with thankfulness to the night he was saved from a downward course by his mother’ s Thanksgiving box.--Laura ML Cobb, in Christian.
