I can offer no' impartial opinion op the sabject, being the party ; in terested. I only undertake to tdrthe story lat. hap pencil to me. I was born in one of tu.midtand counties of England, miles away from the sea, large old.fushionedliiinse of black and white, the upper story Or which everlinnit the lower, and the door of which stood back in a deep porch. The joists and floors were of fine oak, and all the tables, benches, presses —iudeed all the furniture was of oak some of it rude and clumsy, bniThc greater part beautifully,carNed. . I.lily find notiothihr-WhiliStery were ta- ken from my mother's bedstead, which Was clitirVlS of rook, and carved all over wth liginVi of angels, ..Idam and Eve, the serpent, and the Virgin slid The house was still called the Ul,l nail, although it had litipinne little. better than a farm-house. It stood at sonic distance from the road; a gate on the road side led up a paved way with a row of sheds filled with carts, ploughs, and Wiwi% implements, cm one hand, and, a large cattle-pond on the other, into a spacious farm-yard, built round with stables, barns and outbuildinp,a, all wearing an old Saxon stamp that I have never seen elsewhere. A wicket gate on the side of the yard - opened into' a large garden which fronted the house. This gagden had several broad gravel a alks, and two alleys covered with turf, and hedged with yew trees cut into all manner of quaint (haloes. Beyond the garden WAS an orchard contain ing, ainongst otar trees, sonic old mulberry trees, winch my sister and myself - were taught to regard with greatytivereurt , . Beyond this orchard lay ploughed helds a 4 meadows, all belonging to any father. No other dwelling was in sight, except a few cottages belonging to the farm ser vants. My father and mother were cousins, and Ixhh xrre descimiled from the same old Sax on family who had possessed their land long, before the Conquest- lit the .course of years the property- had dwindled down to the farm on which Ia as horn. We had no relation.
