Uuun & C,, lartnd, MoT OREGON, DECEMBER Aunt (Harriet's Samp Padding. "I declar' forV sighed Annt HarrU ! et sinking wearily into the pplint. bottomed rocking chair, retting her felt slippered feet upon the stove-hearth, and clasping her hands in front of her ; knees "I declar' tor't, it I don't think "viThankfgiviD' day a matter of cookiu' and eatin' is the most toolkit of all our New England notions.; , Every year since I can remember the programme has been the same. The whole month of November tpent in prepann' for this 'graud gastronomical exhibition, as Parson I'end'lton nsedlto eall it. have never in my been away from this hoase on a Tlianlsgtvin' day ; and ey'ry year we've been ovcrrna with comp'ny. Father wouldn't think 'twas Thaukpgiviii',- I s'pow?, it the house wasn't full. For my part, I should like a change ; either to go sora'ers Thanks giviii' day, and be waited on, or stay at home by myself." "Ob, Ilarr'et, I wouldn't talk so,' remonstrated grandmother, who was taking off her falce front and putting on her white muslin nightcap. " You know the work of preparin' for dear ones is pleaantNork. Our social fam ily gathenn's make U6 ail better aud happier. Vonr father would feel dread fully cut up to hear you run on in this coruplainiu' way about makiu' Thanks givin. Of course you are tired to night,but don't think about that ; count oyer jour marcies, aod think how much you have to be thankful for." "Hum," went on the wearied spinster in her peculiar nasal tone, "I could make thauksgivin' in my heart so that it would sing tor joy without niakiu' such an ado about my stomach." Reaching down and opening the oven door, a suggestive and delicious odor, as of baking fowls and browning pastry, burst, forth, tilling the roomy kitchen She . peeped inside the oven for a nio- memeut, turned around one of the pans, using a corner of her long, straight, blue print apron for a holder, and then, flinttiug in the culinary wonders which were to grace to morrow's dinner she continued : i "I have spent three weeks in house cleaning, only to get everything in apple pie order just in time to be turned tojit-y turvy. Every room is full to night, and I- muht stretch my tired frame on a lounge. It jiever makes any diffeience where Harriet sleeps; she can be tucked anywhere. Last iiight I was up till 11 o'clock to get the pound cake baked. Night before last it was the miucc and pumpkin pjes. To-night it will be 11 before these chicken pie are browned fit to be seen, and flat midnight before I can get to bed. I am- tired and sick of the great national stuffing day, aud tor my own part shan't want a mouthful o? the nice food that the pantry shelves are groan ing under. I would far rather have a bowl ot samp and nulk, aud a day of leisure along with it." jThe bedroom door just behind the sneaker was unlatched, and John and his wife, who had late in the evening driven in from the west part ot the town, so as to be at home to breakfast Thanksgiving morning, and who had been put into Harriet's room, heard every word of this tirade. "We'll have them all next year if we get the house fixed over," whispered Jane under the blue and white cover, lid and John nodded assent, whisper ing in his turn : "It's hard on Harriet, to be snre." The project was broached next day, was agreed toby all handsiiid through out the year it was talked of as a settled thing that their next Thanksgiving reunion should be held at John's. " Father and mother are to come over on Monday," said John's wife, as the festival season drew near, "and on Wednesday, when the preparations are nearly or quite complete, we will send the team for Harriet." "I'll not make that amount ot trou ble for anybody," replied tie maiden sister, who was, in fact, the mainstay at the homestead. "If I conclude to join in your dinner, I will, on Thursday mornin' walk over through the woods in time to gc to meetin with you." " Grandpa Buxton's farm consisted of a long strip lying between two rivers, with a wooded hill about midway ot its length. Grandpa lived in an old farm house in the eastern meadow, and John had fitted up an elegant new resi. dence on the bank ot the west river. So the old couple were not to leave the ancestral acres, although it was tour rcilca' fxoaa ens hame to U. oiler,. 19, 1879. around the point ot the hill, and two mi lei by the foot and bridle path across the woods. On the sunny, smoky Monday morn ing preceding Thauksgiving, grandpa and grandma started with old Dobbin and the chaise to jog around the moun tain road to John's. And on that same . Monday morning in the far west a pretty, plump little woman, with her husband and five children started in an ox-cart to go the fifteen or twenty miles to the nearest railway station where six ot them were to take the cars for the east tb spend Thanksgiving, while the father retraced his wearisome way to tho lonely logf p&buvbn the forest prairie. ' It was a rather dowdy and an old- fashioned company, as might have been expected, so far as clothes were concern ed, but attractive in their rosy, healthy, buoyant good nature. They were all as happy as happy could bo from 12 year old Johnny to baby Hat for were they not journeying to the wonder ful homestead where mamma liyed when she was a little girl ? and where the scenes of all mama's stories, which were better than any fairy stories, or any stories printed in books or papers.' On, on they whirled, and it was Wednesday afternoon ; yet these child ren, who had never in their lives been five miles from their own clearing, were not cross, or sour, or out of patience, although they were dreadfully tirod, and oh, 60 hungry 1 for the sizable luncl basket, well filled when they started from home, had quite given out, and the reinforcements bought in haste at way side restaurants not very filling. 'Only fifty mile from grandpa's now," and the plump little woman marshaled her brood about her as they maJe the last change ot cars. "Only two hours of precious time." But alan for . human calculations, there was connection to be made at an out-of-the way junction on the line. The eastern train was late. Trains are always late tho night before Thanksgiving, there are so many happy souls going home. "These trains are mail trains, they must meet aud our train must wait." " 'Twill make a pretty late supper time,'' raid Charlie. "I. 'should think it was supper time now," cr'ed Mary, poking around iu the bottom ot the empty hamper. "I suppose there is some place near by where I can get a lunch for the children," said the pleasant mamma to affable Con ductor Carroll, who came through the car just tlien. , "I'm sorry to tell you, madam, that the restaurant has been discontinued, and the hotel burned down a week ago or so. You can see the ruins just over the brook there." A glance at the ashes and embers ot what was once a hotel was not very ratifying to five hungry juvenile, and mamma, tor the first time since she bade her husband good by, without a cloud on her brow said : "We will play we have got to grand pa's and see how nearly our real getting there will be like our play. I will begin now, 'What would I like for supper, Sister Harriet? Oh, a cup of tea for me, and plenty of milk aud bread for the children.' 'Wall, I declare fdr't Sister SuFan.T guess these children won't eat bread and milk at grand pa's Thanks giviu', after traveliu' three mortal days and nights." And the plump little mamma changed her voice in the last clause in a droll, natal imitation of her sister, which made the children laugh. ; 1 "What would you like, ray dears?" "I can smell all sorts ot goodies," said Mary, sniffing until her little pert nose grew red, "and I should : like pumpkin pie, if it's agreeable." - "Chicken for me," put in Johnny, prompt ly. "Mince pie," said quiet Jane "Pudding, cake, cookies, apples, nuts, pop-corn-balls, roast beet, roast JJpork, spare ribs, quail, ham, ducks; most anything you have in. the houjse," cried Charlie, uproariously, while they all laughed, and little Hat shouted "Goo, goo," and made her little fat hands fly in a patty cake, baker's-manX The three or four patsensers in the far end of the car looked up from theit books aud papers and smiled at the meiry little group. Meanwhile Aunt Harriet, in the great old ark of a farm-house by herself,talked to the dog and est. She had loaded the hired mati o2' home to: hi father's with a bihiet r acked full of Thasks gjviu' fixing, "I'll tee,! she said aa she put in the last mince pie and loaf of cake, "if I can't have just as thank, ful a heart as if the house was full of goodies. I mean to try it for once, and eat puddin' and milk, aa I have often wished I could, aud see it I don't enjoy tt just as well." So she sifted a groat quantity of corn meal of the kind that southern people call hominy and New England folks call samp, and putting on the big din ner pot, proceeded to make a pudding, It required a good deal of stirring and skimming and kept her pretty busy tor two or" three hours. The meal swelled and swelled until the kettle was nearly full.- - " "I declar for't," said she to the cat. " I don't know ; what possessed roe to make such a lot of puddin'. But if dou't want it all myself, the liogs will 'twon't be wasted" and, fetching a bowl of milk from the panty she sat down in the split-bottom rocking chair, set her felt slippered feet on the fore piece of the stove and proceeded to eat her supper. " I declar for't," said she to tho dog who lay on the rug at her feet, " I fee' exactly as if surabudy was dead, or as it everybudy was dead, and I was left on airth alone to keep tavern. should like a little bite of sunthin' to top off with, but I wouldn't own it to anybudy that could talk ; hut yon won't tell no tales. I'm as ashamed as a whipped dog, and feel as cheap as dirt every time I think what day it is, and how we've been prospered in every way through the year, aud yet here I le, no comp'ny in the house and none likely to come, and nothiu' cooked np, and no Thanksgivin' smell about the house, and, worst ot all, father'n mother sent off out from under their own off. Harr'et, your're a sour selfish old maid 'nd I'm ashamed on ye. Take the Bible and 6oe if you can't find sunthin1 to get yer into a better state o' mind." So she strode into her " mother's room" after the family Bible, and be hold 1 it was gone. " They've taken it with 'em to John's and, all the Thanks givin along with it." Sh took a look at the made up bed, with its pieced-np quilt, aud said again, " It seems aa If everybudy was dead," and went out and shut the door behind her. What if somebudy should come f she soliloquized rext, taking np the cat, " but there won't. There ain't nobody to come, only what's invited to John's, excepting Sister Susan, poor, dear, prec ious child, away off there in the wilds ; she'll never come home again, I pre sume ;" and Harr'et laid her hands on her knees and thought of the day Susan was born, and of the day she was mar ried, and cried a little, and theu drop ped off into a nap, from which she was aroused by a' subdued bustle near the back door. Getting up aud lifting a corner ot the curtain she peeped out, and saw, by the light of the full moon, a wagon driving out of the yard, a trunk or basket a tallitih boy, a shortish girl, two more children coming up the walk, and a plump, shortish little woman, with a baby iu her arms, jnst stepping upon the doorstone. " Susan," gasped Harnet, quickly unbuttoning and opening the door, and catching the surprised, rosy little: wom an in her arras. They both cried a little, but Harriet meanwhile pot Susan into the splint-bottomed chair, took off her bonnet, aud smoothed her ' hair. Then she wiped her eyes, asked after the absent husband, kissed the child ren, took off their things, making a menial calculation of how she should get them all dressed before Sunday. " I knew I should find you up," said Susan, looking around the familiar kitchen. ' I remember how the bak ing used to drag the night before," and she gave a little sniff. Smelling noth ing suggestive ot fancy cookery, the said she believed she had managed to take a cold in some way. At this the children, each in turn, sniffed and look ed curiously at each other. " We won, let anyone know that you have come until morning, said Harriet, iu her decided way, " and then we will have a general surprise at breakfast." ; They are all , -well lather and mother? asked Susan, anxiously. v " Never better I Now, what will you have for supper V That was just what had been said in their play, in the car, and the children - pricked rp their ears . ' Oh, a cup ot tea for me, at, I j I.-i.ty ot mi'k and bread for ila t' " 8d the plump nud-'tefy' ioaii,' NO. 12. ing on her part ot the play1 siccordUss to' programme. But Aniit Ilamet, ia-' stead ot asking them what titey would like, seized upon the idea of riiilk, fend exclaimed: ' Yes, yes, milk for the children (o be sure ; of course it. will be the Tory best thing for tliem after' the journey. Yon used to be fond of sampi Susan. " I should think so, and I hav , never seen any since I went away. The children looked disappolrlt'ffldV . but they enjoyed their . supper, and - thought and said they had nwver tasted anything co delicious aa the first local' at grandpa's. , t , " Yonsee sd .ApnC Harriet," she was preceding them ep to bed jog -as the clock struck 11, iu a good ap petite and a thankful heart that make , a Thanksgivin' supper after alL -, Ycs,'f agreed Johnnie, that's ad ;: but after all, I'm glad we're going to y have the turkey, goose, ducks and ' cliicken tixin's to-tnorrdw. " Beginning with stewed chicken' and pumpkin pie for breakfast," said Mary. " You see I have told them all about . it, said Susan apologetically, aa she , carried the baby up the stairs she had ) last come dowu as a bride. " If you're "s crowded, Harriet, you can make np ' bid ou the floor for the boys." t , M There are two beds in thin room ;; . can you manage here ? replied Harriet,:- - opening the door ot one of the spick aod span front chambers. " ; " Oh , certainly.' - V " " Then go to bed and go to sleep, and don't hurry up until I call you isS the meriting and bidding the littli group a loving good-night, she hurried . dowu stairs, and quickly donned walk.' ing shoes, shawl and hood, slipped oat the back door, locked it securely after her, put the key under the door sill,' and started across lots for John's- " It's lucky I haven't been baking i for a fortnight," the said, and then abef continued, " it I had, the folks would' all be at home, where they'd orter be, and I shouldn't' have ter go prowlinjf '' off after 'em.

" I'll go over and' bring" them' all over here to breakfast," said Jonn,'" eagerly. u It dou't seem as it I could' , wait until morning. "I will tell yon what shall be done,? v said John's wife. ; " We : w6nt say ' - word about it,but w ilf carry our fixings " all over home.
