Excerpt from The Days of Old and the Years That Are Past From my birth, my nurse was an old mammy by the name of Dorcas; and as my brother Robert was younger than myself by only fourteen months, the care of him fell to her also. My youngest brother, Alfred, was about eighteen months old when his mother died, and his nurse was a good looking mulatto woman, twenty years old, by the name of Lizzie. She was discharged from her position as nurse because on one occasion, being de sirons of going to some social gathering and enraged because he would not go to sleep, she stuck a needle into the infant's hip. This was the only instance of cruelty to a charge on the part of a nurse of the old regime that I ever heard of. Old Aunt Dorcas requires more than a passing notice. She was a pure blooded negress, of dark brown complexion, straight in her figure, and at least five feet ten inches tall. I remember her as being always neat in her dress, cheerful, quiet in her man ner, and most affectionate, but stern in her management of my little brother and myself. One of the slaves brought to my father by his marriage, she was fond of my mother, and of course most affectionate to her orphaned children. She died about two years, or a little more, after the death of my mother. Her body was buried at The Oaks, the home of my grand mother. The last rites were performed by my father, who read the Episcopal burial service over her body. I remember that it was the deepest grave I ever saw. It was measured and found to be more than six feet deep; and having been dug into red earth in a dry season, the pile of earth just around the grave was enor mous in bulk.

Excerpt from Days of the Past: A Medley of Memories Lord Cockburn, in his Circuit Journeys, remarks on the marvellous improvements he had seen on his progresses through Aberdeenshire. Memory does not carry me quite so far back, though I have seen his lordship seated on the bench, but I can remember much of the devolution of the transformation. Few of the semi-lowland shires had to contend with greater disadvantages. The uplands were highland; the midlands were hill and moss; and the eastern flats, with the bleak coast of Buchan, are swept by bitter gales from the Pole. In Buchan, trees and bushes were shaved, as with a razor, when they rose above the shelter of the 'dens.' The climate was severe and the soil unkindly. Sand dunes fenced the county from the Atlantic gales, yet a parish had been buried there under the sand drift. The ground was fertile in granite, yet it is a remarkable fact that the venerable buildings of Old Aberdeen were of imported freestone, which shows that the Aberdonians of ancient days, if enterprising, were not resourceful.

Excerpt from Women of the Last Days of Old France The Sketches of Madame Lebrun and Madame d'ab rantes originally appeared in a magazine they are now given in a much enlarged form. They were written when the name of F rance - of Paris - could be heard without the unutterable regret which they now awaken. At a time when events of European, or rather, of world-wide importance, have occupied all minds, it seems almost an impertinence to offer to the public so slight a work, but it is a contribution to the history of that past, without knowing which we shall try in vain to comprehend the present.

Excerpt from Old Andover Days Passed away. Puritanism, with its Virile asceticism, its restrained but lofty and concentrated fervor, is not only obsolete but misunderstood. Puri tan Andover, once a leader in missions, theology, and religious life, by clinging too long to ancient good, has in great measure lost its ascendency, and is at last wisely turning to new fields of labor. There are few left now, of the world that is gone, to interpret Puritan Andover to the new world of to-day. No formal interpretation is attempted here; the memories of an Andover childhood, as they have been sifted by fourscore passing years, are plainly.

Excerpt from The Divine Authority of the Old and New Testament Asserted Pretenfion to this Charaéter. I would be one Of the lafl to charge any Man with a Want of Honefiy and Sincerity: but there are ma ny Things in his Book that look like a wilful Perverfion and Mifreprefentation of Faéts, as well as Arguments and fometimes fo circum fianced, that it is fcarce pofiible for the molt extenfive Charity to fuppofe that it'was owing to mere Ignorance. Perhaps the Author him felf would not be willing to accept of this A pology. I cannot help looking upon it as an Honour to Chrifiianity, that its Adveifaries find themfelves obliged to take fuch Methods as thefe, in order to carry on their Defigns a gainft it. Does not this argue a fecret Con fcioufnefs that they can never prevail by a fair Attack upon the Scriptures For furely he muf't be either very wicked or very foolilh, that would have recourfe to fuch bafe Arts as thefe to ferve his Caufe, if he thought his End could be anfwered without it, and that fair and juft Reafoning, and an equal candid Ma nagement would do as well.

Excerpt from Memories of by-Gone Days When my husband asked me to write the foreword to this little book I was glad, for no one except the author can feel so great an interest in this as I do. His articles and pictures for the outdoor magazines have been a pleasure to both of us, and it has long been my desire to see them gathered into a volume in permanent form. In Memories of Bygone Days there is no morbid tendency to disparage present joys, but simply a wholesome retrospect. Lulled in the countless chambers of the brain Our thoughts are linked by many a hidden chain. We may make of memory a blessing or a curse, just as we will. It is a stupendous thought that we are augmenting or decreasing future pleasure by the way we spend today. The only use we have for our past is to get a future out of it. All the pleasures of today One by one soon glide away To the golden shore of sweet long ago. Happy is that man whose memories are pleasant and profitable company. Alice kimball steele.
