THANKSGIVING DAY IN NEW NGLAND.-The
holiday of all holidays, in New England, is
Thanksgiving Day. It is a time of universal
festivity and joy. All classes and all conditions,
old and young, rich and poor, then lay aside dull
care, and give themselves up to the pleasures Of
good eating and social enjoyment But, never
having had the good fortune to partake Of the
delights of a New England Thanksgiving, we
are incapable OF doing it justice, by any descrip-
ton. Not so, however, the good-natured editor
Of the Boston Transcript. Hear him:
''No one day in the year brings back to Us
more joyful recolleetions, more gladstone meet
ings of parents and children, OF grandparents and
grandchildren; and even great-grand-cnlidren.
All assemble around the paternal board What
ever Of delicacies the market affords, is, on this
particular occasion, served up. The children who
are married and have left their fathers mansion,
return to the old dominion where they first saw
the light, where they used to drink water out OF
the cold oaken bucket where they used to skip
and gambol over hill and dale. The reminiscen-
ces which are brought up on such glorious occa-
sion serve to gladden. the heart, to inspire 1t with
thankfulness that we have lived to see and to
enjoy this blessed day.
ssOn this dav of all others the old table groans
with the beHeficent gifts which the season has
afforded. The biggest apples are produced; the
biggest pumpkins are cut up and manufactured
into the biggest kind of pies; the most wry
necked squashes undergo a similar translorma-
ton The old gobblers suffer the penalties OF the
guillotine: the gallant boosters cease to ''crow,"
for the hand Of the executioner is among them;
their office of acting as deputies for chapman"
terminates on this occasion; they are brought to
the block; they suffer the penalties OF the law.
"Children who have not seen their pareats for
a year previous, come, and bring their picanil'-
MES with them to see grandpa and grandma, and
these little ones, with their bibs ard fuckers on
are perched up on high chair at the venerable
table to participate in the good things And
with what relish do they. discuss the roasted
turkey and plum pudding; again and again art
their plates replenished, till their little stomach
are incapacitated by iullness from proceeding
farther. With what joy does the parent looh
down upon the youthful progeny, and with what
heartfelt gratitude is he inspired at beholding
them In all the buoyancy of youth, destined at
some future day to act their part in the busy
scenes of life, when ne shall be gathered to his
fathers. What can inspire man with greater
degree Of thankfulness to his Creator, than Is
caused by such an occasion, such scene? 1t is
calculated to awaken all the finer feelings Of his
heart, to lead him to look 'from nature up to
natures God.'"

We turn with pleasure from the toll and strife
which the stern duties of our position impose
upon US, to speRd an hour in eulling from the vo-
Inne of poems which our townsman has just gu
ven to the public, a few of the many beautiful
thoughts and images so thickly scattered over its
pages. MIR. McJilton has at last gathered up
the many productions of his pen, which have for
ten years been wandering about through the
newspapers, or lying concealed from the public
eye in his own portfolio, and presented them IN
volume of three hundred and sixty pages; and
beautiful volume it is, both in matter and man
ner. We have not the time to go into critical
analysis of the poetical character sf his mind,
nor to assign him his place among his brethren
of song But, by few extracts, we Will let HIM
sneak at once to the heart of the reader. we
have not lately met with any thing so full OF
tenderness and true feeling as the following:
81 HAVE NO FATHER THERE"
81 saw wide and well spread board.
And children young and fair
Came one by one,-the eldest irst,
And took their stations there.
sAll nealy clad and beautiful,
And with familiar tread,
They gathered round with Joy tofeast
Or meats aud snow white bread
ssTwas Joy to sec them seeated all
Bound by loves tender ties,
With health upon their blooming cheeks,
Aad pleasure in their ewes.
s'Beside the board the father safe,

And on the little group he gazrd,
And told their portions DER,

Anear the threshold stood
halt starved child had wandered there,
To beg little food.
''Sad one-''why sandest here nay dear,
See, there's vacant seat
Amid the chdren-and enough
For them and thee to eat"
''Aas for me!'' the child replied,
In tones of deep despair,
''No right have amid your group,
have no father there"
