A Letter from Waldegrave '
Cottage.
BY THE announce .W' Nlcnors.
To the Editor of the Sunday Magazine :-'—-
Perhaps it may occasion you some surprise
to receive a letter from a‘ place with the.
above novel and unheard of title, and
thereforoI‘propo'se to' give you a a brief
explanation of this matter at the outset. It
is said, and I presume with-considerable
show of truth, that the 'writer' is a lineal
‘ descendant and lawful heir to the vast estaets >
of the Earl of Waldegrave, who died long
years ago in England, leaving possessions
now amounting to many millions. His de-f
scendants came to this country, lived and
died here, and some of them are buried in
Trinity churchyard. Three of their tomb-
stones lie in front ‘of the yard, not far back
from the iron railing, one. of ‘which is quite
modern and in a good state of preservation. '
The name on thisstone is changed from
Wal, veto Walgrove. It bears the name ,
of George Walgrove, and records his death
in the years 1785, and also that of his wife,
Magdalen, who died in 1821, the former aged.
aged sixty-two years, the latter ninety-nine}
ears. '
.y The latest of the descendants of the earl
was 'thewife of my .‘great-grandfather; her:
name was Magdalen, and she lies buried in?
the churchyard of’St. Paul’s, in his vault,-
which is just in front of Emmet’s monument ‘
My great-grandfather, George 'Warner, after ,
whom I was named, died about 1825, and a ,
tablet to his memory lies. in the wall of the
same church. It is nearthe door at the rear
entrance to the church. Supposing all the
links to be established between the earl and
my grandfather, and I, being the oldest son
of the family, by the’Jaws of primogeniture
in England. these vast possessions: now in
the custody of- the GOverhment, would
rightfully belong to me. I have never yet
taken any steps to prove or establish the
legitimacy of this claim, for the reason that
it involves such a vast amount of time and
trouble and expense. But, nevertheless, I
am inclined to think, from the attention
which I have given the subject and the
7 WALnxemvn COTTAGE,
I now just 200 years old. It is a 'house of,
, such historic interest that it has been pro-
. , never during these two centuries been put to
. . any lgnorable use. Always, too, has it been
'; a seat of power—first of feudal wealth and
i power, afterwards for a long period of great
1: social power, and then the seat of the 'gov-'
.. ernment of the city of Yonkers.
, were‘disturbed by the goblins that peopled
together a few thoughts from this, mynew‘
home, chosen after having spent the greater
part of life, while healh and strength per-
mitted, in the duties of the sacred ministry,
and 'where I may perhaps spend the remain-
der of life; and should the brief letter be
deemed of sufficient interest to occupy a
place in that most valuable journal, the
Sunday Magazine, it is at your service.
- Very truly yours,
GEORGE W. Nronons.

‘ The Philipse Manor Hall.
. \ New YorkWorld, ,
. The Philipse Manor Hall at Yonkers; is‘
posed to celebrate, on a day yet to be ap-
pointed, the bi-centennial of its building.
The orator, whoever he may be, that shall
deliver the oration can say, to the praise of
its .long list of owners and Ito the pride of
the town, that the house of the Yonker has
ernrnent of the village and now of'thc gov-
The City Council holds its sessions be-
tween walls where feudal lords dreamt in
peace of;thc perpetuity of their estate, or
their Sleepy Hollow ;‘ the City Engineer
sacreligiously draws plans for grading streets
through the lawn that once extended to the
Hudson, with his feet propped near quaint
tiles of blue and white that line the spacious -
sides of the olantch fireplace; and the City
Clerk does his profane labor under a ceiling
of arabesque work whereof portraits of the
prelRevolutionary owners look down upon
m.
Few other houses in America have such a
history, and perhaps no Other private house
has for so long a time been so well preserved.
It was so well built that there has been little
need of repairs, and so wisely planned that
it has always been useful. '
The hall was built by Philipse in 1682,. so
all the records and family traditions agree,
andenlarged in 1745. No recOrd, however,
contains any details of .the building, and
there are architectural reasons for supposing
thatIthe oldest part of it was built by Adrian
Van Der Donck, who settled at Yonkers as
early as 1646, and was one of the first learn-
ed lswyers in America. '
The old house now stands substantially as
the second Philipse enlarged it, with its two
spacious entrances on the east side, each
with a portico. The grounds originally ex-
tended to the river on one side, and to ' Lo-
custHill on the other. There were rows of
horse-chestnut trees, garden terraces and
acres of shrubbery' about it. ‘Old people at
Yonkers remember that there were grass
walks in the garden even within their life-
time. On the roof was a heavy balustrade
which commanded a wide view up and down
the river. .
The building which‘is of stone and brick,
is a curious mingling of D utch and English
architecture. The twelve-pane windows,theI
heavy solid wooden shutters, sbhnds most
literally, and the ponder'ous door, hung with
wrought-iron hinges and fastened with rough
iron bolts, remain as they were two centuries
ago. -The hall is very wide, and the stair-
way,with its mahogany balusters, is broad
and graceful and easy of ascent. The floors
’ opinions expressed by those who have con-
versed with me on the subject who have
studied familygcneaiogies, that the writer
has good reason to think his title tothe es:
tates is well founded. .
This, then, is the reason I have to give for
surnaming the spot from which I am new
writing “Waldegrave Cottage." I came here
about one year since, having previously re-
sided for some twelve years" or more in your
far-famed City of Brooklyn; not. the” was
dissatisfied with it, for Brooklyn is a most
charming and attractive city, with all its
noble churches, distinguished preachers and
hospitable people, and pleasant homes.‘ But
‘I felt that a change from city to country
would prove beneficial to our health; nor
have we been disappointed. ~ Norwalk,
which is'now a city 'of considerable size,
having fourteen thousand inhabitants, is
pleasantly located near Long Island Sound,
and lies amid valleys and sloping bills, from
which many elegant residences overlook 310388 window that opens on a cylindrical
the waters of the Sound. ‘ our home, which
isabeautiful and tasteful structrne, liesion‘
the principal avenue of the fawn." we have
every improvement to be found in a city
home—Gas of. superior quality, pure soft
water from the lakes near New Canaan, a
fine lawn in frentIof the house, and a garden
with choice vegetables and beautiful fiowars
in the rear. A niceroadway leads from the
street to the barn, where is a favorite horse
that takes us to ride ever day. Indeed, the
drives in the country'are charming—some of
them, leading through ‘the back country to
Stamford, with its fine residences, New
Canaan, with its little Gothic towers rising
so gracefully among the trees; and some
leading towards the water. Sometimes we
- drive near the pleasant Summer home of Dr.
Alonzo Clark, or the palatial residences of
the Hoyts, - with their fine grounds, near
Stamford. Sometimes . we drive t . ugh
Westport, apleasant village, and ‘ the
beautiful and perfect little -gem ofIaI-Ichurch
built by Winslow, the New York‘banker : or
drive a little further on, to the splendidifseat'
and grounds of Morris Ketchum; or-eIxItend
the ride still further to ‘Greenfieldeill,
which once was the residence of Dwight,
the eminent scholar and divine,who was once
President of Yale College. By following on
the road still further which. leads to New '
Canaan, .we come to the quiet :inland vil-
lage of Bedford,. in the .State of New York.
In thistown the Writer spent the days '.sf'his
childhood. 0h, hOw many delightful assoc-
» istlons and pleasant memories cluster around
that quiet parsonage and little quaint Epis-
copal Church, which stands about one mile
north of the village, where my boyhbod
was speutland where my father preached for
twenty-three years! How do ‘I re-
"member that old parsonage, Iwit its greén
lawn in frqnt, overshadowed by the trees
planted there by the hand of the rector, and
the venerable church, too, which stood
beside it, and, the numerous marble tablets
whichlayaround it! Time, though it seems
to obliterate often the scenes and events of
later years, yet seldom can slices from our
remembrances the early, impressions ef'our
childhood or the tender associations of home.
Inthat churchiof..awect memories, I may
here. mention, worshipped the ' variousmemé
her-Is of the family of that distinguished and
honored :patriot,‘ John. Jay. ' I remember
him well, and recollect perfectly his Venera
able, mild and placid face as he sat at his

parish church, joining with devout sincerity
in the prayers and hymns or listening to the
‘ sermon“ There set also his daughters, Miss,

having. :gpentj the'bestpirt’ of his labors for

quiet and peaceful retreat, far'removed from

are nailed with hand-wrought nails, and the
timbers show that rough strokes of the
hewers' axes. The walls are wainscoted,
and the ceilings made of mortar with straw,
have not eveh suflered a crack. About the
wide fireplaces there is heavy woodwork
with metallic ornaments and decorated with
quaint tracery. Above the doors, the win-
dows and the fireplaces are fiowersand birds
carved in wood. One peculiar long-billed
bird that is a puzzle to the anthuarians of
Yonkers is perched above every design.- '
On the ceiling in one room is arabesquIe
relief work of birds and' dogs and flowers,
and two human faces in profile. ' Who these
glordly counteances are that have looked down
Ion so many owners of the old hall must be
:conjectured. It is probable that they are two
iof the lords, father and son; and some per-
isOns fancy that they see a resemblance to
ithem in the portrait of Mary Philipse.
Back of the hall on the ground floor is a'
Estructure, above Which a number of strong
Ehooks hang from the wall—game hooks ?
The attic was divided by coarse lattice work
into about twenty small scrvants' rooms;
and besides these there were servants’
houses in the garden. There were fifty ser-
jvants in the days of its first splendor, twénty
of whom were slaves. A yew in the yard,
nearly two feet in diameter, that had been
admired by visitors for six generations, died
only a few winters ago.
. The City Council of Yonkers have very
Iwisely appointed a standing committee on
I“History and Historical Relics," which is
composed partly of Aldermen and partly of
citizens,who have an antiquarian pride in the
history of the town. It is the duty of this
committee “to study the best means of main-
taining the Manor House, so far as may be,
intact from unnecessary or ill-judged altera-
tions, and, if possible, Of enghancing its at.
:tract-ions by such improvements in its sur-
roundings as may. on due consideration seem
the central part of our young city." They
have begun the ' collection of historical relics
.snd documents, and the Manor Hall is now‘
both the seat of the city government and a
tO'wu museum. The most valuable centribu-
tions to the museum thus far made are, of
course, the records of the town itself and the
history of the building. There are also curi-
ous old- documents, such as certificates of the.
.manumission of slaves; a plank from the old
yew tree has been preserved, and tiles and
pieces of iron backs to the-fireplaces, with
quaint and unintelligible inscriptions, and
other such relics as make an interesting be-
ginning of,a‘colleetion of the antiquities of
the place. Besides the. Manor Hall there
are objects of singular historical interest in
and about Yonkersfthat will cause this
museum, so wisely? planned, tonbecOme of
extraordinary value. 3 "
St.‘ J chn’s Church,Yonkers,Castle Philipse
and the old Dutch Church in ,Sleepy Hol-
low, Locust Hill, and tha Roger Morrrs
mansion, the Van Courtlandt family and its
residences—all these, it is hoped, will have
their history told in the collection. When
the town of Yonkers shall have become 'too
large to use the old Manor House as a City
Hall, the purpose of the committee is to have
it devoted gntirely to the museum and an
historical library, and to make it the pride
as well as the property of the city. It has
therefore, passed the dangers .of mutilation
and neglect that other such-buildings have
suflered, and its 'no'bleIIhistory will most
likely have no break until the very walls
crumble. Of crumbling, however,~there is
no indication, and with properprotection
the house may be preserved so long that at
its present age it may be considered almost
new.
There is no lack of popular superstitions
about the old mansion. Persons who live__
almost within stone's threw of it aver that
there were secret passageways from one
room to another in a difie'rent part of the
building, from one story to.another, and
from the house to the well; but nothing
more mysterious can be hand than a secret

The history :of the Philipsc family and of
the Manor Hall isan impogtant part of the
history of Colonial and Revolutionary New
extended along the Hudson from Cretan
Manor of Philipseborough was established
by royal charter in 1693. The management
of theImanor was one of the very few ex-
amples,_if not the only example, of the feu-
dal system without modifications in America.
Frederick Philipse built Castle Philipse at
Sleepy-Hollow Church, where “certain it is,
Ichabod Crane’s voice resounded far above
all the' rest of the congregation; and there
are peculiar quaves still to be heard in that
church, which may even be-heard half smile
of, quite to the opposite side of the mill
pond, on a still sunday morning, and which
are said to be legitimately-descended from
the nose of Ichabod Crane." The Castle at
Sleepy Hollow and the Manor Hall at Yonk-
ers were the double residence of the family,
and at each the rent of the tenautry was col-
lected twice a your. -
St. John’s Church at Yonkers was built by
the Philpses in 1752. Onlya part of one wall
and the double door reuiain of the original
structure.
During the Revolutionary war Yonkers
was for along time neutral grouud‘and St.
armies as a hospital.
ington once had his headquarters; and if the
beautiful Mary Phillipse had been less loyal
to her King and more gracipus to her Amer-
ican suitor, this very Mundr Hall at Yonkers
might have been our Mount Vernon. This
lady'enjoyed the distinction (and the- town
pride of the people Of Yonkers insists. upon
giving these factaprominence in every nar—
rative) of refusing Washington’s odor l'of
marriage. She was the granddaughter cf
the builder of the Manor Hall, and the
daughter of the second Frederick Philipse.
So beautiful and so charming a lady was she
that her portrait and the traditions about her
have caused most of the historians of You-
kers to regret that she did not'become the
mother of her country. Most of the biogra-
phers of Washington, however, refuse to be-
lieve the story of his‘attachment. Old Jared
Spark's discussion of so important an histor-
ical question is interesting, none the less be-
cause it _is itself an historical antiquity. .
While in New York in 1756, Washington
was lodged and kindly entertained at the
house of Mr. Beverly Robinson, between
whom and himself an intimacy subsisted,
which indeed continued without change till
severed by their opposite fortunes twenty
years afterwards in the Revolution. It hap-
pened that Miss Mary Phillipse, aslster of
Mrs. Robinson, and a young lsdy‘of rare ac-
complishments, was an inmate in the family.
The charms of the lady made a deep impres.
sion upon the heart of the Virginia Colonel.
He went to Boston, returned, and was again
welcomed to the hospitality of Mr.Robinson.
He lingered there till duty called him away;
but he was careful to intrust hid secret to a
confidential friend, whose letters kept him‘
informed of every important event. In a
few months intelligence‘came that a rival
was in the field, and that ’the consequences
could not be answered for if be delayed to
renew his visits to New York. Whether
time, the bustle of camp or the scenes of war
had moderated his admiration, or whether he
despair-ed of success, is not known. He
.never saw the lady again till she was mar-
ried to that same, rival, Captain Morris, his
former associate in arms and one of Brad-
dock's aides-de-camp. , ‘
In an. English work, shown to me bthrs.
.Morris’s relations in New Brunswick, it is
stated that she refused Washington. But
this is very' doubtful, and the. passage just
cited, which is founded upon Washington’s
papers, seems utterly to disprove the asser-
tion. Imagination dwells upon the outlawry
of a lady whdse beauty and virtues won the
admiation of the greathhig Chigf. Human-
ity is shocked that a woman was attainted 0f '
treason for no crime but that of clinging‘ to
the fortunes of her husband whom she had
vowed on the altar'of religion never to de-
sert. ' - - l
The readers of Cooper's “Spy” will remem-
rornance. .TheManor of Philipsborough'was
confiscated, because the Philipses did- not
remain neutral, but aided the cause of the
English. Another tradition is that there
wasaplot to capture General Washington
at this Manor Hall one day when he was
invited to dine there, which be frustrated by
his rather impelite departure before dinner
was served. The beautiful. Miss Philips'e,
therefore failed to capture by force the rebel
who once oder'ed himself to her. After the-
,it was divided into small parcels,and sold by
Commissioners _ appointed by the Legislature.
The Hall at Yonkers was bought by Cornelius
P. Lowe, and after along succession Of own-
‘ers, it became the property of Lemuel W.
:Wells, who for thirty years lived ‘there, and
by his hospitality made it not unworthy of
its history. In 1868 it was bought by the
village of Yonkers, and it- will most likely
never pass again into private ownership, but
will, so long as it stands,_be an evidence of.
the good judgment of the people of Yonkers,
and one of the most interesting~nntiquities
in American history. ’ '
It was off the mouth of Saw Mill Creek,
which empties into the Hudson near .the
Manor Hail, that Hendrick Hudson anchored
September 13, 1609. . Van Buren Dcnslow,
formerly a citizen of Yonkers, in his “Man—
hatta, a Legend of the Hudson, " in rhyme,
has grandiloquently described, the event;
This Saw Mill Creek has its full share ofrev-
erence as a pfit of the past; “That is also
two hundred yearsWd," the antiquarisns of
Yonkers assure you. Dcnslow made it “lave
MrsI‘Lamb, in her “History of the City of
New York,” calls it a mad and musical
creek ;” another historian fancies that it
old Bolton, in his “History Of. Westehester-
Count; calls it “this sweetstream‘.”

The stean‘lbost interest increases. The
steamer Sirius, the 'largest of the Iron
Steamboat Company’s fleet, is now, running
on the Bridgeport route ..a‘s',.a . rival}; of the
Rosedale—the most Sirius competition that
fast boat has yet had.‘ Withthe Northam,

course; there will be no racing whatever. If

. Fall Fashions for Children.
qur was mm; ours are To wean rms
' senses. ,
In no country are children. better dressed,i
than in America. . The constantI.travel be—i
tween this country and Europe, familiarizesf
parents with the styles and fashionsof other’
lands, and by amalgamating and adapting3
themvery satisfactorily results are attained. 1
Less formal than the French and more artis-i~
tic than the English, the American style of;
dress for little children combines the advan-
tages and escapes the disadvantages of bath:
The uncertainty of the climate, too, has a E
distinct influence upon children’s dress, and
every year more attention is directed to con-.
siderations of health in connection with it,‘
The fragile limbs are better protected; we
no longer see the exposure of delicate necks .
and tender’ arms; and even for dress occa-
sions high suits are made; which protect as
well as adorn the tiny wearers. cAll this is as
it should be, and while now and again some;
unwise mother will be found sacrificing her '
child’s health to some passing folly, as a 1

rule the little ones are warmly and sensibly;
dressed. _ " _
There are, of course, various fashions in'
children’s clothes which pass with little no-
tice, and Ireform'ntion‘s are'taking place all the .
time, but one factcannot .cscape our att'en- 3
tion, and that is the increased freedom of;
limb that is allowed by modern fashion; The l
"Mother Hubbard” style of which we have 3
seen the last for a while, was a step in the .-
right direction in this regard, and it has been ‘
mare popularly adopted than anything that
has arisen for years. Now that it is already
a fashion of the past, we find the influences
that introduced it'a's potent as ever. And
the styles for little ones this fall Will be as
quaint andpretty has those which they re-
place. For elder girls, combination dresses
are to be the mode. Very handsome mate-
rials, domesticand foreign, are on hand for-
\the purpose. The bright-lined {colors of the
past season arena ionger- seen; no cardinal
redsor brilliant blues to serve as a ' founda-
tionforjdecoratIVe effects. On the contrary,
the tones for children arethe absolutely neu-
tral Olive gree’ns, dark, invisible blues,
deep browns and the- darkest shades of dull
reds are the p‘revaillng'color's‘. Combinations
and not contrasts are to be the fashion.
Such color as- is word will be in the form of
trimming for the quaint hats and bonnets
which bids fair to be most bewitchingly be-
coming to the little wearers. The favorite
materials will be_ rhadames cloth, which is
not unlike satinde Lyon .ln texture and ap-
pearance; Ottoman cloth, a wdolen materialf
with cruised silken stripe, and cashmeres,
velvets and plushes. Shaded plush will be
very much wern for the basque waists, -
which will be in style for girls of lOand 12,
the skirts to accompany them being usually
of rhadames or Ottoman cloth. Or if shaded
plush forms the skirt, and much as it willbe
used for this purpose, and is so wrought as
to have the appearance of tucks, the basque
to accompany ithill be Of satin de Lyon,
velvet or cashmere. The trimming for .a
plush skirt will be placed entirely round the
bottom, and will generally be of the lighter
material used in combination, and take the
form of narrow plaitings.
Parisian costume for a little girl of 9 or 10 is
a combination of ribbed plush and satin de
Lyon. The skirt is of the latter material,
and has two narrow kiltings of the same
round the bottom, with a . quilted pufiing as
a heading. The front part of e skirt is
trimmed with shirred puffings o e satin de
Lyon. and the back is perfectly plain, thq_
drapery which depends from the basque,
forming the necessary trimming. The basque
of ribbed plush has a vest of satinzde Lyon,
and two long tabs of plush fall from either
side, aforming a framework, as it were, far
the satin pulling up the front of the skirt.
The sleeves are of plushwith an inserted
pufilng ofsatin de Lyon at the. elbow, and
are deeply shirred at the top and at '- the
waist. Shirringsand pufiings will be uni-
versal, ,forming, in fact, all the trimmings
which will be fashionable, For those to
whom economy is an object the combination
style of dress ofiers decided advantages, ob-
v’iating all extra expense for trimming, and,
moreover, making it possible to consider the
possibility of turning and twisting the mate-
rialsfor another season, a desirable possibil-
ity which is hardlyconsidered by those who
set the fashions. ,
For smaller children, the princess dress
will again be in favor, not, however, with the
simplicity which marked its earlier introduc-
tion. 0n the contrary, the little frocks will
be very much trimmed. Pufilngs and shir-
-rings down the front and round the skirt
will be usual, and the favorite style for the
back is to hp a“ coinbi'natiOn“ of large and-
Ismall pleatings shirred at the waist. Even
for very small children sombre colors will he
preferred ; with the exception of cream
shades, which entirely replace the old-fash-
ioned white. Cream colored cashmere trim-
med with lace,will be a favorite combination.
Lace trimming will be universal this fall,
andallow scope fer any measure Of expense.
.With the exception of edgings imitating-
more costly laces, no other trimmings will be:
found upon the [fashionable dresses either for
large Or small children. .
But it—is to the bonnets and hats, which
are to complete the costume, that we must
look for novelty this year.\. The prevailing
style for very small children is to be the
Queen Anne poke, or, as it used to be famil-
iarly called, the scuttle, bonnet. Anything
quainter for little girls cannot be imagined.
:The favorite materials will be soft plush,

Mrs. D. W. Lincoln, of Portland, M9,.
lately fell heir to $175,000, the value of the
estate of her cousin, Erven W. S. Naughton
of California, formerly of Maine. There is
a, romantic history connected with the be-
quest. Mr. Nouglrton and Mrs. Lincoln in
their younger days were intimate friends and
would probably have beenImarried had it not
been for the opposition of relativos. Mr.
Noughton started for the'west, declaring he
would never come back. He kept his word~
Business prospered with him and he became
wealthy. Mrs. Lincoln was married to Cap- '
tain James T. Lincoln, who died fourlyears
ago, leaving $25,000 to his widow.
The St. Louis papers tell a pitiful story of
three young girls who went out from New
York to sing in sn opera chorus. ' They ,were
engaged by one of the sharks known as dra;
rustic agents for $18 a week. When they got
to St. Louis the manager told them that $14
was‘all that he Would pay, and at the cadet
the week he concluded that $10 'was'enough
When they complained of this, the manager,
according to their story, suggested that
there were other ways by which good-look-
ing young girls might increase their income,
and he didn’t care for girls that would not
attract the young men. When they found
how they had been duped they did the only
thing they could—took refuge with the sis-
ters at a religious house until they could find
means to get home. And the worst of this
story is. that just such things are happening
every day. . .

For; many days he scarce had broke his fast,

An Amicable A'djustment.
t.
And Col. Kane of Dead Horse Butte,
Happened to have a slight dispute.
’Twas all about a yearling calf
On which the brand was far from plain;
The major said: “de got the laugh
If we should have a quarrel, Kalle,
About a little yearling steer,"
, Whose value we shall drink to-day,
So let’s decide the matter here,
And in an amicable way.
You pick four cowboys from youngang
» _ 1, four from mine, the ints we'll place
I; ITcn yards apart and let 'em bang. ,- y
. The most left standing win the case.”
The notion struck the colonel well. I g ..
. Said be: “By George, I think you’re right!
I’d rather much, the truth to tell, .
some it so, than by a fight." '
IEach had a'slIew of cowboys there,
They picked their men and then the rest'
Stood round to look at the afiair .. ‘
. _ And bet which side would get thebest. .
The men were placed, the major spoke" ’ ,
The word.’ All fired. Result? You want.
By‘jovc it was the biggcsh joke. ' '
That'ever happened in the stale!
WhyIthis was molt two years 889;, ' .
You'd think that people would forget ;' ,
But they remember that thing, though: '
And twit the major of it, yet.
Perhaps that’s partly owing to ‘
His taking it with such good grace. .
.He always owns the story’s true .. .
And pays the drinks wilh smiling face. ‘
The joke 2 Oh, yes i The major’s scheme
Fushed most absurdediy, as’I said,-
'And in a way he didn’t dream, ‘
When those boys fired, they all‘fell dead.‘

I met a man upon the pier.

With clams his cart was loaded down
