That Is Thanksgiving day. As the tide of New England immigration spread Into other parts of the country it carried the Thanksgiving idea with it and on November 28, when that day is being celebrated from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Canadian line to the Mexican border, everywhere the observance will have a certain New England flavor. Just as it was a New England woman, Sara Josepha Hale, who had the most to do with making a national holiday of this observance, which began as a purely local custom, so It was another New England woman who wrote the Thanksgiving poem in our literature. Look at the picture, "Home to Thanksgiving," t the top of this article. It was one of the most popular of the Currier and Ives prints which once adorned the walls of every American home. One glance at it and there Immediately comes to mind these lines: ay Ameri- best-know- n Over the river and through the wood, Te grandfather's house we'll go; The horse knows the way To carry the sleigh Through the white and drifted anew.

We bring no sorrows to thy throne; We come to thee with no complaint. In providence thy will Is done, And that is sacred to the saint. Here, on this blest Thanksgiving night, We raise to thee our grateful voice; For what thou doest. Lord, Is right. And, thus believing, we rejoice. Chains if Another New Englander wrote that poem. Who now remembers the name of Josiah Gilbert Hol land? Probably not many, except the special student, of American literature and Journalism. Yet there was a time when Holland was known to thousands of Americans and two of his long poems were the "best sellers" of the day. Critics of today are inclined to dismiss his writings with the adjective "commonplnce" or the statement that his career as an author is "illustrative of the evanescence of 'moral' literature when un endowed with real talent" Yet the fact remains that his "Bitter Sweet" sold 00,000 copies and his THANKSGIVING ODE "Kathrlna, Her Life and Mine" sold 100,000 Once more the liberal year laugba ont copies back in the fifties and sixties.

Her "Hobomok." a tale of life in early Salem in which the hero was a "noble red man" of the J. Fenlmore Cooper type and the heroine was a white girl waa published In 1824. This waa followed the next year by "The Rebels; er, Boston Before the Revolution" and In 1X15 by "I'hllothea," a poetical romance of Athens in the days of Pericles. Edgar Allen Poe heaped extravagant praise opon "Phllothea." saying "We turn to these pore and quiet pages with that species f gosplng satiafartlon with which a drowning maa dutches IK .' own James Russell Lowell eulogized Mrs. Child's work in his "A Fable for rUlcs." An ardent Abolitionist, Mrs. Child published the first book written on the subject of freeing the slaves. It was "An Appeal for That Class of Americans Called Africans." Dubllshed in 1833, and William Ellery Channing made a spe cial trip to Roxbury to thank her for It A pro lific writer, Mrs. Child also produced "The Moth er's Book" (1831) ; "The Ladles' Family Library" (1832-5the series of "Flowers for Children" (1844, 1846, 1855); "The Progress of Religious Ideas" (1855), and "Autumnal Leaves" (185G). The "long life of Lydia Maria Child, in which is distilled a definite fraction of American sentiment and moral enthusiasm" came to an end oo October 20, 188a Critics are not always in agreement as to her "place In American literature" but her name is remembered by the Ameri can people each year at Thanksgiving time when they repeat the familiar lines: "Over the river and through the wood, etc." Almost as well known. If not so frequently quoted.
