the influence of their ethical righteousness still endures. The prophecy of Samuel Sewall that Christians should be found in Newbury so long as pigeons shall roost on its oaks and Indian corn grows in Oldtown fields remains still true, and we trust will always remain so. Yet, as of old, the evil personage sometimes intrudes himself into company too good for him. It was said in the witchcraft trials of 1692 that Satan baptized his converts at Newbury Falls, the scene, probably, of one of Hawthorne's weird Twice Told Tales; and there is a tradition that, in the midst of a heated controversy between one of Newbury's painful ministers and his deacon, who (anticipating Garrison by a century) ventured to doubt the propriety of clerical slaveholding, the Adversary made his appearance in the shape of a black giant stalking through Byfield. It was never, I believe, definitely settled whether he was drawn there by the minister's zeal in defence of slavery or the deacon's irreverent denial o

between the sessions, became a subject of apprehension. The popular party, having a majority 1644 of the deputies, proposed to substitute a joint commission. The proposition being declined as inconsistent with the patent, they then desired to reserve the question for further deliberation. When to this it was answered, that, in the mean time, the assistants would act according to the power and trust which they claimed by the charter, the deputies immediately rejoined, by their speaker, Hawthorne, You will not be obeyed. The same spirit occasioned the strenuous, though unsuccessful efforts to deprive the magistrates of their negative on the doings of the house. The negative power was feared as a bulwark of authority, a limita- Chap X.} 1645 tion of the power of the popular will. Winthrop, i. 82, 8, 151, 152. 299 300, 301, 302.

It was therefore not without reason, that the colony foreboded collision with the crown; and after a full report from a numerous committee, of which Bradstreet, Hawthorne, Mather, and Norton, were members, May the general court published a declaration of natural and chartered rights. Their liberties under God and their patent s spread, that Massachusetts was to yield a revenue of five thousand pounds yearly, for the king. Public meetings of the people were held; the brave and liberal Hawthorne, at the head of a company of train-bands, made a speech which royalists deemed seditious; and the inflexible Endicott, just as the last sands of life were runninis majesty had no jurisdiction over them. Hutchinson's History, l. App. It was resolved to transfer the scene of negotiations to England, where Bellingham and Hawthorne were, by a 1666 April 10 royal mandate, expressly commanded, on their alleigance, to attend, with two or three others, whom the magistrates of Massachusetts wer

rk, Me., where he died November 13, 1747. He married Hannah Sewall, daughter of John and Hannah (Fessenden) Sewall. Samuel Moody's son, Joseph, also a minister of York, acquired notoriety from his peculiar habit of wearing a handkerchief over his face that completely covered his features. He was known as Handkerchief Moody, and is said to have fallen into a nervous state, and his mind to have taken on a melancholy tinge, from having in early life accidentally killed an intimate friend. Hawthorne in his story of The Minister's Black Veil depicts a Rev. Mr. Hooper as wearing a similar covering over his face for years, but for another reason, and also cites this case of Joseph Moody. To revert to our line of succession we find that Wymond, the oldest child of Thomas Bradbury, the emigrant, and Mary, his wife, was born April 1, 1637. We shall notice, also, that the names, Wymond, Judith, and Moody were favorites in this family, and appear many times. They appeared in the Dean lin

e heavenly walk was one of struggle and climbing. With its honest, enduring white paint and its simple, dignified architectural lines, the building was a landmark for miles around. The pump was generally placed where the highways crossed each other, or in the so-called square, where the roads converged. A wooden pump is a very ordinary looking object, having no beauty or grace of its own, and only attractive as it is the medium of giving to us one of Nature's most valuable gifts. Hawthorne, with so prosaic a theme for a subject, by the magic grace of his pen has given us a fanciful and also truthful description of the value and uses of this necessary and homely article. Personifying the town pump of his native place, he leads it into a soliloquy in which it indulges in a few historical reminiscences and relates its own incalculable benefits to the public in a charming sketch which the author has happily called A Rill from the Town Pump. What that pump was to Salem people

ith the river, for five or six miles. On the morning of the fight, the enemy had taken possession of the upper portion of this thicket, and five companies had formed in line of battle, when the Mississippians attacked them. They are treated through the woods into a larger forest of oak, and there joining with the remainder of the regiment, made a second stand. Still further towards the Potomac is a circular clearing, containing some three acres, without shrubbery, except a few bunches of Hawthorne which are scattered over it. In the middle of this clearing is a deep hollow, that might almost be called a ravine. On the opposite side of this the enemy had posted their battery, consisting of three guns, two howitzers, and a rifled cannon. From this point they threw shot and spherical case at the 8th Virginia, and also at the 18th Mississippi.--When the charge was made about 4 o'clock in the evening, they were driven from this position.

court patronage. The dissatisfaction avowed is so strong that one is warranted in putting down a vast amount of what we have been accustomed to denominate British loyalty as a very surface matter, if not a unqualified cant. The malcontents are of two parties, one taking the under a ground of respect for, and sympathy with the Queen's grief, coupled with the hope that she will see the imperative necessity of rousing herself and struggling against that dreary phase of it alluded to by Hawthorne, when it ceases to be a feeling and becomes a habit; while the other boldly, not to say brutally; denies the sincerity of its protraction, pronouncing it "gammen." I heard an amusing instance of this latter some time ago, from a friend who had visited Marlborough House, the residence of the Prince of Wales, just before his marriage, during one of his frequent absences. There my friend was shown over the richly-furnished rooms by a talkative old lady, who spoke of having recently performed
