For all that I enjoy;

And promise that next New Year’s day

Will find a better boy.

RECITATION—The Pumpkin.

Ah! on Thanksgiving Day, when from East and from West,

From North and from South come the pilgrim and guest,

When the grey-haired New Englander sees round his board

The old broken links of affection restored,

When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,
