# The Chignecto Isthmus and its First Settlers/Preface

For some years past I, in common with many others, have felt that all letters of interest and accessible facts in connection with the early history of the Truemans should be collected and put in permanent form, not because there is anything of interest to the general public in the records of a family whose members have excelled, if at all, in private rather than in public life, but in order that the little knowledge there is of the early history of the family might not pass forever out of the reach of later generations with the death of those whose memory carries them back to the original settlers. In getting together material necessary for the work, numbers of interesting facts concerning other families came inevitably to light. In order to preserve these facts, and at the same time give the book a slightly wider interest, I decided to write a short history of those families connected by marriage with the first and second generations of Truemans, and also, as far as material was available, of the first settlers in the old township of Cumberland, which now includes the settlements of Fort Lawrence, Westmoreland Point, Point de Bute, Jolicure, Bay Road, Bay Verte, Upper Tidnish and Port Elgin. Finally, as a kind of setting for the whole, I have prefaced these records with a brief outline of the early history of the Isthmus.
That the work falls far below the ideal goes without saying. Anyone who has made the effort to collect facts of local history knows how difficult it is to get reliable information. In almost every case where there was a conflict of opinion I have endeavored to verify my facts by light thrown on them from different directions; but doubtless mistakes will be found. By keeping the work in preparation for a longer time, more matter of interest could certainly be added, and perhaps corrections made; but to this there is no end, as the discovery of every new item of interest reveals a whole series more to investigate.
To all who have given me assistance warmest thanks are tendered. To Dr. Ganong, of Northampton, Mass.; Judge Morse, Amherst; W. C. Milner, Sackville; and Dr. Steel of Amherst, grateful acknowledgment is especially due for their ready and cheerful help. To Murdoch's Nova Scotia, Hannay's Acadia and to Dixon's and Black's family histories I have also been indebted.

# The Book of Scottish Song/O, thou hast seen

O, thou hast seen.
[Written by the late John Sim of Paisley, to the tune of "Banks of Spey."]
O! thou hast seen the lily fair, All bathed in morning dew; And thou hast seen the lovely rose, Just op'ning to the view. The lily bathed in morning dew, The rose so fair to see, Are not more pure than her I love, Are not more fair than thee.
But soon before time's withering blast, The rose and lily fade; Nor even will beauty such as thine Outlive its darkening shade. Yet there is that within thy breast Will ruthless time defy, A mind will bloom when beauty fades, Will flourish in the sky.
# The Book of Scottish Song/O, were I on Parnassus

O, were I on Parnassus.
[Burns wrote this impassioned song immediately on settling at Ellisland, in honour of his wife, and as a welcome to her to the new establishment there. It is sung to a plaintive tune by Oswald, called "My love is lost to me." The Rev. Hamilton Paul, in his edition of the poet's works, (Ayr, 1820,) speaks with rapture of the song. "There is nothing," he says, "in the whole circle of lyric poetry, ancient or modern, to be named with it. It bids defiance to comparison." He then quotes the following lines:
"I see thee dancing ower the green, Thy waist sae jimp, thy limbs sae clean, Thy tempting lips, thy roguish een— By heaven and earth, I love thee!"
"This," continues the reverend critic, "is what may be called the paroxysm of desire. He draws the picture from nature,—he becomes enamoured,—he forgets himself,—he pants for breath,—he is unable to continue the description,—and he gives utterance to his feelings in an oath—
"By heaven and earth, I love thee!"
It may be added, that Mrs. Burns excelled in the accomplishment of dancing, and was remarkable, if not for regular beauty, at least for the exquisite symmetry of her person.]
O, were I on Parnassus Hill, And had of Helicon my fill, That I might catch poetic skill, To sing how dear I love thee: But Nith maun be my Muse's well, My muse maun be thy bonnie sell, On Corsincon I'll glowr and spell, And write how dear I love thee.
Then come, sweet Muse, inspire my lay;
For, a' the lee-lang simmer's day, I couldna sing, I couldna say, How much, how dear I love thee. I see thee dancing ower the green, Thy waist sae jimp, thy limbs sae clean, Thy tempting lips, thy roguish een— By heaven and earth, I love thee!
By night, by day—a-field, at hame— The thoughts of thee my breast inflame! And aye I muse and sing thy name— I only live to love thee. Though I were doom'd to wander on, Beyond the sea, beyond the sun, Till my last weary sand was run, Till then—and then I'll love thee.
# The Book of Scottish Song/O, saw ye the lass

O, saw ye the lass.
[Written by Richard Ryan. Arranged and sung by Sinclair.]
O, saw ye the lass wi' the bonnie blue een? Her smile is the sweetest that ever was seen, Her cheek like the rose is, but fresher, I ween,— She's the loveliest lassie that trips on the green. The home of my love is below in the valley, Where wild flowers welcome the wandering bee; But the sweetest of flowers in that spot that is seen, Is the maid that I love, wi' the bonnie blue een. O saw ye the lass, &c.
When night overshadows her cot in the glen, She'll steal out to meet her loved Donald again; And when the moon shines on the valley so green, I'll welcome the lass wi' the bonnie blue een. As the dove that has wandered away from his sweet nest, Returns to the mate his fond heart loves the best, I'll fly from the world's false and vanishing scene, To my dear one, the lass wi' the bonnie blue een. O saw ye the lass, &c.
# The Book of Scottish Song/O, leave me not

O, leave me not.
[From a volume of very clever poetical pieces, entitled, "Rambling Rhymes, by Alexander Smart: Edinburgh, 1834." Mr. Smart is, we understand, a compositor in Edinburgh.]
O, leave me not! the evening hour, So soft, so still, is all our own; The dew descends on tree and flower, They breathe their sweets for thee alone. O, go not yet!—the evening star, The rising moon, all bid thee stay; And dying echoes, faint and far, Invite our lingering steps to stray.
Far from the city's noisy din, Beneath the pale moon's trembling light, That lip to press—those smiles to win— Will lend a rapture to the night. Let fortune fling her fiivours free To whom she will, I'll ne'er repine— O, what is all the world to me, While thus I clasp and call thee mine?
# The Book of Scottish Song/O Cherub Content

O Cherub Content.
[The following is an early production of Thomas Campbell, author of the "Pleasures of Hope," but is not included in any collected edition of his works that we know of. It is adapted to the Irish air called "Coolun."]
O Cherub Content! at thy moss-cover'd shrine, I would all the gay hopes of my bosom resign,— I would part with ambition thy votary to be, And breathe not a vow but to friendship and thee.
But thy presence appears from my pursuit to fly, Like the gold-colour'd cloud on the verge of the sky; No lustre that hangs on the green willow tree Is so short as the smile of thy favour to me. ​In the pulse of my heart I have nourish'd a care,
That forbids me thy sweet inspiration to share;
The noon of my youth slow departing I see,
Eut its years as they pass bring no tidings of thee.
O Cherub Content! at thy moss-cover'd shrine,
I would offer my vows, if Matilda were mine;
Could I call her my own whom enraptur'd I see,
I would breathe not a vow but to friendship and thee.
# The Book of Scottish Song/O, wha's that

O, wha's that.
[Written by Ramsay, who calls it in his Tea Table Miscellany "The Auld Man's best argument." It is sung to the tune of "Widow, are waking?" the beginning of an old licentious song.]
O wha's that at my chamber-door? "Fair widow, are ye waking?" Auld carle, your suit give o'er, Your love lyes a' in tawking. Gi'e me the lad that's young and tight, Sweet like an April meadow; 'Tis sic as he can bless the sight, And bosom of a widow.
"O widow, wilt thou let me in I'm pawky, wise and thrifty, And come of a right gentle kin; I'm little more than fifty." Daft carle, dit your mouth, What signifies how pawky, Or gentle born ye be,—bot youth, In love you're but a gawky.
"Then, widow, let these guineas speak, That powerfully plead clinkan, And if they fail my mouth I'll steek, And nae mair love will think on." These court indeed, I maun confess, I think they make you young, sir, And ten times better can express Affection, than your tongue, sir.
# The Book of Scottish Song/O, whistle

O, whistle.
[The air called "O, whistle, and I'll come to you, my lad," was composed by John Bruce, a famous fiddler in Dumfries, about the middle of the last century. O'Keefe introduced it into his comic opera of "The Poor Soldier," acted at Covent Garden in 1783. "Since love is the plan, I'll love if I can," is the opening of the song to which it is there adapted. Burns wrote two sets of words to the tune—retaining the name of the tune for his opening line—the first set, consisting of only two verses, written in 1787 for Johnson's Museum; the second set written in 1793 for Thomson's collection. We give both.]
I.
O, whistle, and I'll come to you, my lad, O, whistle, and I'll come to you, my lad, Tho' father and mither and a' should gae mad, O, whistle, and I'll come to you, my lad.
Come down the back stairs when you come to court me, Come down the back stairs when you come to court me, Come down the back stairs, and let nae body see, And come as ye were na coming to me.
II.
O, whistle, and I'll come to you, my lad; O, whistle, and I'll come to you, my lad; Tho' father, and mother, and a' should gae mad, O, whistle, and I'll come to you, my lad.
But warily tent, when you come to court me, And come na unless the back-yett be a-jee; Syne up the back-stile, and let nae body see, And come as ye were na comin' to me, And come as ye were na comin' to me. O, whistle, &c.
At kirk or at market, whene'er ye meet me, Gang by me as though that ye cared na a flie; But steal me a blink o' your bonnie black e'e, Yet look as ye were na lookin' at me, Yet look as ye were na lookin' at me. O, whistle, &c.
Aye vow and protest that ye care na for me, And whyles ye may lichtly my beauty a wee; But court na anither, though jokin' ye be, For fear that she wyle your fancy frae me, For fear that she wyle your fancy frae me. O, whistle, &c.
# The Book of Scottish Song/O, dinna think

O, dinna think.
[Alex. M'Gilvray.—Tune, "The Traveller's Return."]
O! dinna think, though we, guidwife, May sometimes disagree; Though twice ten years we ha'e been wed, Thou'rt not as dear to me. As dear to me as e'er thou wert When handsome, young, and gay, Our hearts and hands we fondly join'd, Upon our bridal day.
What though the beauties of thy face And form begin to fail; What though the bloom forsakes thy cheeks, Thy rosy lips grow pale? And what although thy dark blue eyes No more like diamonds shine,— Thy once unrivall'd shape and air Appear no more divine?
The charms that first secur'd my heart, In thee remain the same; An' fan within my bosom still, A never-dying flame. You still possess a pleasant look, A calm unruffled mind; A soothing voice, a faithful heart,— Complaisant, warm, an' kind.
Thy constant care has ever been To smooth life's rugged way; With happy smiles to brighten up The darkest dreary day. When care or sickness wrung my heart, An' round me fortune lower'd; Into my thrilling bosom still The healing balm ye pour'd.
Round ev'ry tale to me you've told, And ev'ry song you've sung, And ev'ry spot where we have been, A hallow'd charm is flung. How dear to me the broomy knowes, The greenwood's fragrant shade, The flow'ry fields, the verdant banks, And braes where we have stray'd!
Oh! many a pleasant hour we've past, And happy day we've seen, Could we but live to see our bairns As bless'd as we have been, Content we'll leave this earthly scene. And bow to heav'n's decree, In hopes we all shall meet again, And blest for ever be.
# The Book of Scottish Song/O, my love's bonnie

O, my love's bonnie.
O! my love's bonnie, bonnie, bonnie, O! my love's bonnie and dear to me; The smile o' her lace, and her e'e's witchin' grace, Are mair than the wealth o' this warld can gi'e. Her voice is as sweet as the blackbird at gloamin', When echo repeats her soft notes to the ear, And lovely and fresh as the wild roses blooming, That dip in the stream o' the Carron sae clear. O! my love's bonnie, &c.
But poortith's a foe to the peace o' this bosom, That glows sae devoutly, dear lassie, for thee; Alas! that e'er poortith should blight love's young blossom, When riches nae lasting contentment can gi'e. For! my love's bonnie, &c.
Yet hope's cheerfu' sun shall aboon my head hover, 'An' guide a lone wanderer when far, far frae thee; For ne'er till it sets will I prove a false lover, Or think o' anither, dear lassie, but thee. For O! thou art bonnie, &c.

PREFACE.
OO much attention can scarcely be expended on our sleeping rooms in order that we may have them wholesome, convenient and cheerful. It is impossible to over-estimate the value of refreshing sleep to busy people, particularly to those who are obliged to do much brainwork. In the following pages will, we hope, be found many hints with regard to the sanitary as well as the ornamental treatment of the bedroom.

# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Twesten, August Detlev Christian

Edition of 1879. See also August Detlev Christian Twesten and Karl Twesten on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
TWESTEN. I. August Detlev Christian, a German theologian, born in Glückstadt, April 11, 1789, died in Berlin, Jan. 8, 1876. He studied at Kiel, and taught at Berlin, where he adopted the views of Schleiermacher. In 1814 he became professor of theology at Kiel, and soon ranked next to Claus Harms in the Lutheran church of Holstein. In 1835 he succeeded Schleiermacher at Berlin, and in 1850 became a member of the new supreme ecclesiastical council of the United Evangelical church. He was one of the chief representatives of those who strive to reconcile the views of Schleiermacher with orthodox Lutheranism. His works include Vorlesungen über die Dogmatik der evangelisch-lutherischen Kirche (2 vols.,
Hamburg, 1826-'37), and Grundriss der analytischen Logik (Kiel, 1834). II. Karl, a German author, son of the preceding, born in Kiel, April 22, 1820, died in Berlin, Oct. 14, 1870. He became connected with the judicial service, and was one of the founders of the progressive party, which in 1861 involved him in a duel with Gen. Manteuffel, in which he lost his right arm. In the same year he was elected to the Prussian chamber of deputies, and he was one of the founders of the national-liberty party and an early member of the North German Reichstag. Persecuted for advocating the fullest parliamentary freedom, he retired in 1868 after being fined. His works include Schiller in seinem Verhältniss zur Wissenschaft (Berlin, 1863), Machiavelli (1868), and the posthumous Die religiösen, politischen und socialen Ideen der asiatischen Culturvölker und der Aegypter in ihrer historischen Entwickelung (edited by M. Lazarus, 1873).
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Uhland, Johann Ludwig

Edition of 1879. See also Ludwig Uhland on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
UHLAND, Johann Ludwig, a German poet, born in Tübingen, April 26, 1787, died there, Nov. 13, 1862. He graduated in law at Tübingen in 1810, and from 1812 to 1814 practised at Stuttgart in connection with the ministry of justice. He wrote poetry for periodicals as early as 1806. The war of independence against Napoleon roused his patriotic feelings, and the first collection of his Gedichte (1815) was received with great enthusiasm; and over 50 editions, gradually enlarged, have since appeared. In 1819 he became a member of the Würtemberg assembly. He was professor of the German language and literature at Tübingen from 1830 to 1833, when he resigned to take a more active part as a liberal leader in the diet, from which he retired in 1839. In 1848 he was a member of the Frankfort parliament. His works include, besides the above mentioned collection of Gedichte, the dramas Ernst von Schwaben and Ludwig der Bayer (1817-'19; 3d ed., 1863); Alte hoch- und niederdeuteche Volkslieder (1844-'5); and Schriften zur Geschichte der Dichtung und Sage (8 vols., 1865-'73), comprising his learned works relating to early German and Norse literature and mythology. He had in his days no superior as a lyrical poet. Longfellow has translated some of his pieces. Alexander Platt translated his “Poems” (Leipsic, 1848), W. W. Skeat his “Songs and Ballads” (London, 1864), and W. C. Sanders his “Poems” (1869). — See Ludwig Uhland, seine Freunde und Zeitgenossen, by Mayer (2 vols., Stuttgart, 1867); Uhland's Leben, edited by his widow (Stuttgart, 1874); and Uhland und Rückert, by S.

# The Book of Scottish Song/O sair I rue

O sair I rue.
[Robert Tannahill.]
O sair I rue the witless wish, That gar'd me gang wi' you at e'en, And sair I rue the birken bush, That screen'd us with its leaves sae green. And though ye vow'd ye wad be mine, The tear o' grief aye dims my e'e, For, O! I'm fear'd that I may tyne The love that ye ha'e promis'd me!
While ithers seek their e'ening sports, I wander, dowie, a' my lane, For when I join their glad resorts, Their daffing gi'es me meikle pain. Alas! it was na sae shortsyne, When a' my nights were spent wi' glee; But, O! I'm fear'd that I may tyne The love that ye ha'e promis'd me.
Dear lassie, keep thy heart aboon, For I ha'e wair'd my winter's fee, I've coft a bonnie silken gown, To be a bridal gift for thee. And sooner shall the hills fa' down, And mountain-high shall stand the sea, Ere I'd accept a gowden crown, To change that love I bear for thee.
# The Book of Scottish Song/O wake thee

O wake thee.
[Sangster.—Music by R. A. Smith.]
O wake thee, O wake thee, my bonnie, bonnie bird, And sing thy matin lay! O wake thee, O wake thee, my bonnie, bonnie bird! For the sun is up on his way.
The foliage soughs in the morning breeze, An' the green leaves glitter in the sun, The spray rows white o'er the bounding seas, An' the village bell is begun. Then wake thee, O wake thee, mine ain bonnie bird! And sing thy matin lay, For the tap boughs swing, my bonnie, bonnie bird, In the sough o' the new sprung day.
The silvery clouds, like sheeted ghaists, Take their flight o'er the pure blue sky; And the laverocks are pillow'd on their downy breasts, And are borne with their anthems on high. Then wake thee, O wake thee, my bonnie, bonnie bird! O wake while it is day! For the night comes sweet, my bonnie, bonnie bird, When the morning is hail'd wi' thy lay.
