LO§T AND FOUND.
The following manuscript came into
my hands about 50 years ago, My
friend John Williams, tho writor of it,
was at my house on a visit. I should,
rather call him the friend of my'fathor,
“5 he belonged, to a generation previoua
to my own. Ho took a great fancy to‘
“10 whenI mm a boy and often told
me his story. One day, when he was in
a peculiarly communicative mood, I
persuaded him to write it out, which he
did. on condition that it was not to be
published during his lifetime. As he
has been dead now 40 years and all the
members of his immediate fatally have
fussed away, there can be no 5mm.-
priety in offering it to the public. It is
scarcely necessary to: mo to say that,
after a lapse of 50 years, it was neces-
nary to make a copy of it, as the origi-
nal ink had faded very much. I
I, John Williams, had just completed
my college ‘ career, which had been
neither better nor worm than thatof
thousands of others. A slow, plodding
mlnd was all that nature had given me
within, and red. hair, a fret-kind fare
and a rather ungainly Iiguro wow what
she had bestowed upon mo without.
“John will new-r not the river now,"
was what my father had once said of
m“- 9031‘. kind old man, he did not
know that i was within henringdia-
““100 or hanever would have aaid it.
”‘21, although the remark was gall and
wormwood to me at the. time, it apurml
me on to exertion, and I iuado much
better use of my time at. college than I
would otherwise have done.
Mary Mercer, a daughter of a .near
neighbor and intimato friend of my
father, had been my lifelongeompauion
and friend. We were opposites in every,
particular. ' She was handful, and l
was as has been described. She war
graceful, and I was not; but, owing to
our secluded lives, we had been thrown
much together, and her rimritnble dis-
position had been ui‘custonmd to over-
look muny of my Illlpt'l‘ft'l‘llfllltk 'An ad-
miration amounting almost to worship
had risen in my mind wh< n I enw her
