THE SOCIAL YANKEE'S PROCLAMATION 

 FOR THANKSGIVING. 



Come low and high, attend while I, 



From my nfficial station, 

 As gov'nor true, and pne! too, 



Proclaim my Proclamation. 



We thought the spring unpromising, 



Tlie summer seemed no better, 

 The backward growth, we cursed its slotb, 



Did vegetation fetter. 



But whilst we mourn'd and anxious turn"d 



Our minds unto the fnture, 

 A pow'r benign, both yours and mine 



Prepar'd a scene to suit you. 



Up sprung the grain, its height to gain 



Before it should be Autumn, 

 The grass grew out, both tall and stout. 



And so did weeds too, rot 'em ! 



The wheat, the rye, the corn grew high, 



And fast the good pota'ur : 

 The beans and peas, and fruits like these 



Did grow to beat all Nalur. 



In fino. no plant the which we want. 



No frnit in field or garden, 

 But what did come, or late or soon, 



The house, the barn, or yard in. 



Then since 'tis so, that you ran show 



Such stores for fnture living, 

 I bid you all both great and small 



Prepare for a Thanksgiving 



First be your care in pious pray'r 



To thank the boanteous Giver, 

 Who you from fear of a fruitless year 



With plenty did deliver. 



Then follow me with grateful glee, 



Ye idle men and workics, 

 Without delay, prepare to slay 



The fatted pigs and tarkies, 



For shooting match, you, marksman, cateh 



Your blunderbuss, or rifle. 

 With all your skill the chickens kill — 



Thanksgiving is no trifle. 



Come every boy, partake our joy. 



And cut or wring the neck off, 

 Of every fowl, with stately prowl 



Which from the roosts you take ofF 



Then let the cook with pleasant look 



Prepare the pig or capon, 

 Or if yo've none of such at home — 



Why cook your beef and bacon. 



Let hot pies reek, and puddings eke, 



Surrounded with all sauces. 

 If these you lack with Yankee nack 



Make merry with the lasses. 



From morn till night, with all your might. 



With fitting mirth and levity. 

 Fail not to cram, as long's you can, 



Till stufTd is every cavity. 



Let Graham bread aside be laid, 



Whoever is its lover. 

 And every rule, o' th' diet school, 



Till this blithe day is over. 



Come drink, and eat with social greet. 



With merry joke and laughter, 

 And pass the day as wish you may. 



But — sure be sober after. 



THK SOCIAL YANKEE. 



DoMFSTic CONCERNS In the nianageinent of 



domestic concerns order and method should be 

 observed, and all hurry and confusion ought to be 

 carefnily avoided. If we would begin at the right 

 end of the thing, it must be in the morning of life 

 — this is an essential point. 



Sleep shoidd never be considered as a Itixury, 

 but only as a necessary refrrshnient to invigorate 

 the body and prepare it for further exertions. 

 Therefore, the propriety and advantage of early 

 rising should be, by example and precej^t, fixed on 

 the yotithftd mind. 



When these ideas are fixed, and the practice of 

 thein becomes habitual, business may be pursued 

 without anxiety, and scolding and hurrying, whicli 

 tends to irritate the temper, avoided. By pursu- 

 ing this method, the numerous cares in a farmer's 

 faiTiily are rendered easy and agreeable, and to a 

 woman wlio has been properly instructed, and 

 who has a knowledge of her own concerns, it is a 

 source of peculiar satisfaction to know that what 

 she requires of her domestics, is consistent with 

 the obligations they are under to her. 



The mistress who treats them with mildness 

 and suitable attention, is generally inuch better 

 served, than she who treats them with hardness 

 and severity. Their love and attachment create 

 a desire to please, and these mutual interests con- 

 tribute very much to the quietude and happiness 

 of all around. 



By this mode of procedure there is much time 

 for literary pursuits, which are highly important. 



It is from the mother, that the early education 

 of children is mostly received. It is the example 

 at home that will educate them ; your conversa- 

 tion, the business they .see you transact, the likings 

 and dislikings they hear you express; these will 

 educate them, employ what teachers we may. 

 The influence at home will have the mightiest 

 influence in eductition. 



Schoolmasters m.ay cidtivate the intellect, but 

 things done and said at home are bu.sy agents in 

 forming the character, hence the importance of 

 our families being well regidatcd ; and if a mo- 

 ther would faithfully perform her duty to her ofl^ 

 spring, she must be willing to make many sacri- 

 fices. The comfort and improvement of her 

 family must be her principal object. Social vis- 

 iting and virtuous intercourse with those we love, 

 are some of the greatest comforts of life, yet even 

 these must be under such restrictions that nothing 

 may suffer by her absence. 



While her children are young, and their minds 

 susceptible of suitable impressions, she should 

 sow the seeds of virtue, benevolence, and all those 

 amiable qualities that will, in riper years, render 

 them honorable and dignified in their pursuits, 

 respectable and useful members of the community, 

 and virtuous and exemplary heads of families. 



The majority of earthly jileasures are experi- 

 enced in the pursuit of some unreal good.
