ten A.M.
We make a practice of givin ' presents in our own family Thanksgivin ' , for it always seemed so kinder appropriate that while we wuz givin ' thanks we might just as well give a few more . And their presents to us wuz just what we wanted and ourn to them proved to be just what they wanted . Of course it wuz n't all a happen ; we had throwed out hints and perspected round as well as we could before we selected 'em , kinder throwed out the line of wonder and surmises , and ketched opinions and wishes on it . At ten A.M. we all got into two big sleighs and went to Jonesville to meetin ' . It wuz a union meetin ' and Elder White wuz chose to preach the Thanksgivin ' sermon . It wuz a beautiful discourse , it come from the depths of a thankful , lovin ' Christian heart and went right to ourn . The party I had invited went home with us from the meetin ' - house , Philury had the house all warm and it wuz n't long before we had dinner ready , of course we had got everything cooked we could the day before .
