A nostalgic verse from Youth's Companion recalls an old house and Thanksgiving memories. It speaks of kin scattered by life, graves in distant places, and a vow to keep hearth and board for family once more within the shelter of familiar rooms.
John Warren, a junior partner at Brace & Brown, wrestles with weariness from a long western assignment and resolves to return home for Thanksgiving. He abandons his hotel, boards the train, and plans to reach the country after a poignant moment of longing.
John Warren returns to his parents after years away to forgive old debt and save the farm. He uses bank funds to clear a mortgage held by Squire Cobb, reunites with Anna Scott, and keeps his true success secret as plans unfold for family comfort and future support.
A reflective poem praising long years of labor and ownership. The speaker thanks laborers, neighborly property, and the gifts of time, beauty, and steadfast resolve. It celebrates gratitude for both known and unknown forces shaping everyday life.
Mrs Pettingill and Miss Dawson endure lean years by sharing codfish dinners with neighborly gifts. Donations from farmers and townsfolk arrive, including a turkey, mince pies, doughnuts, and a chicken pie, as Deacon Pettingill and Mary Ann Dawson face Christmas plans and a new marriage proposal from Farmer Gibson.
The editor urges reform of the aging wit who writes bon mots yet cannot quit his habit. On the first day of the next year he vows change but cannot stop. That night he grislyly writes one final line about dismembering Turkey and Greece, then dies, a victim of an insatiable habit.
A comic domestic scene features Mr Newbryde carving a turkey and discovering oysters in the stuffing. Mrs Newbryde defends the preparation and scolds the husband for his harsh reaction, calling him a brute. The exchange hints at kitchen quarrel and awkward humor.
