 THANKSGIVING DAY AT SEA.

of the boisterous sea, With joyous hearts we share The blessings of this happy land, Which heaven hath made its care;

Whose glorious flag is borne High o'er the ocean's breast, Whose strong-winged eagle proudly makes Among the stars his nest.

Not with the cup that drains Our best resolves away,
