Mary Thacher Higginson, Thomas Wentworth Higginson: the story of his life, VI: in and out of the pulpit (search)
happy paper and there has been some diabolical erratum in each one. I shall try no further. It is needless to say that these diaboli continued to annoy the author through life. It was while in Newburyport that, with the cooperation of Samuel Longfellow, Mr. Higginson undertook to edit a volume of sea poems called Thalatta. The editors apparently thought of bringing this volume out at the same time that Uncle Tom's Cabin appeared, as Higginson wrote, Thalatta is at a standstill because Mrs. Stowe exhausts all the paper mills. The young author was aroused from these peaceful pursuits by the enactment of the Fugitive Slave Law, September 18, 1850. After reading the details of what he called this most cruel and unrighteous bill, he appealed to his old schoolmate, Charles Devens, United States Marshal, writing a burning letter of expostulation from which this passage is quoted:— Newburyport, Sep. 29, 1850. . . . For myself there is something in the thought of assisting t

[to Europe] was to transform Thalatta from a past vision to a future reality. . . . We planned it six years ago and now Europe has revived it all in Sam and he has proposed it once more to James T. Fields (Ticknor & Co.) and that bold youth (also fresh from Europe, these two having visited the Brownings together) consented. So the book is to begin to be printed in February and between now and then what copying and debating and selecting! In 1859, the famous Atlantic dinner was given to Mrs. Stowe, which Colonel Higginson has described in Cheerful Yesterdays. To his mother he thus reported a conversation on this occasion with Dr. Holmes:— He [Holmes] was very pleasant and cordial to me, but turned upon me when I refused a cigar. What, said he, you don't smoke? No, said I. Then, said he, you unquestionably chew the betel-nut. I told him I was fond of nuts and also of beetles, but preferred my botany and entomology separate. Ah, said he, but everybody must have some narco

or Virginia, and were with him but a little while. Buy when I can and sell when I can, that's my way; and never ask no questions, only in the way of trade. At this season, get a good many from travellers. On inquiry, he explained this mystery by adding that it was not uncommon for families visiting Northern watering-places to bring with them a likely boy or girl, and sell them to pay the expenses of the jaunt! This is a feature of the patriarchal institution which I think has escaped Mrs. Stowe. Hereafter I shall never see a Southern heiress at Newport without fancying I read on her ball-dress the names of the likely boy or girl who was sold for it. As for yonder Sambo and Dinah (I meditated), no doubt, young Bulford Dashaway, Esq., is at this moment driving them out to Saratoga Lake, as a pair of blood-horses. O Miss Caroline Pettitoes, of Fifth Avenue, how odd it would be if, as you sit superb by his side, those four-legged cattle suddenly resumed the squalid two-legged cond
