Iu what penury, what hardship, what sense of exile, what darkness of bereavement, what dopenJenco upon the Tlivine hand an.l gratitude fur ils l.nunly, were tbe earliest Tbanksgiv. inu'skept! The story of tbo Plymouth colony can never be too rftcu recalle.l hy .Americans. I'or iinconiiilainiug forliWide, for sturdy endurance, for strength tbat kui'iv nn faltering, for fploudid faith snd un lanntcl heroism, that i-lory has no eipial on the pa;;e of history. Many delicate women died in thoso first .vear-', but we never rea.I that they weakened iu courage whilo they lived. Theirs was tbe underly¬ ing might of a purjiose wbicl, had ils ronl in ijrinciples ; anl whoever may celebrate the Pilgrim Falb-jr-i, women should forever ke-oj-i green the mem¬ ory uf the heroic Pilgrim Mothers.
