DEAR EDITOR: The following anecdote
of olden times is mentioned in Mr.. Fol.
SONS History Of Saco and Biddcford. l
thought that on account of its quaintness
and antiquity, you might like it for your
paper. Yours, respectfully,
X. c. VAKxuAME.
Mrs. Rose Standish. consort Of Captain
Standish, departed this life on the 29th Of
January. 1921. This circumstance is
mentioned, as an introduction to the fol-
lowing anecdote, which has been carefully
handed down to t.s. by tradition.
In very short time after the decesse
of Mrs. Standish, the captain was led to
think. that if he could obtain Miss Prise
ella Mullins, a daughter Of Mr.. William
Mullins, the breach in his family, would
be happily repaired.
He therefore, according to the custom
of those times, sent to ask Mr.. Mullins
permission to visit his daughter. John
Alden, the messenger, went, and faithfully
communicated the wishes of the captain.
The old gentleman did not object, as he
might have done. on account Of the regency
of Capt Standish's bereavement. He said
it was perfectly agreeable to him, but the
young lady must also be consulted. The
damscl was accordingly called into the
room, and John Alden, who il aid to have
been young man Of most excellent form,
with a fair aud ruddy complexion, arose,
and in very courteous and preposscssing
manner, delivered his erranl.
Miss Mullins listened with respectful at.
ten,on, and at last, after considerable
pause, fixing her eyes upon him with an
open countenancc, "Prifhee John, nhy do
you not spsah tor yonrself''
The young men blushed, bowed, AMI
took his leave, but with look which indi.
Gated more than his difhdencc would per.
nit him otherwise to express. However,
he soon renewed his visit. and il was not
long before their nuptials were celebrated
in ample form.
From this couple. are descended all OF
the name of Alden. in the nited States.
What report he made TO his constituent,
after the first interview. tradition does mo-,
unfold; but it is said, how true the writer
knows not, that the Captain never, to the
day Of his death, forgavc him.

mothers in this vicinity. How strange,
that so few ieel the Importance Ct fam

what can you expect OF your children II
you teach them not better lesson. How
much sin might they escape, OF how much
wrong might they be free. OF which they
are now guilty. and not only they, but
you also. dad you gather them around the
family altar, before one common Father,
and there alike implore Divine blessings.
The Thoughts tina, they then become pos
sessed Of, at that family altar, will go
with them through the day, and holy
feeling will be as a monitor to keep them
from many wrong act. How can you
so willingly incur the wrath OF God by
neslec.ing this impor,so, duty. when you
nigh, both receive and give so much hap.
piness BY attending 10 it.
No wonder that We are 80 snnoyed at
our evening prayer meetings BY those
Young men. They know no, the need
OF prayer. Parents Of those young men,
do you know that you are to blame ior
their wrong conduct ! o, that you might
look into II. Tha. you nigh, feel the
importance Of leaving the path YOU are
now ,reading, and choose that one which
leads TO blessed immortality.
You would see your children grow up

their ~ildes, moments who would no, see
their childres holy. eodly. crcumspect in
, all things but how do you expee, them
TO become so. Not by yonr denying your
duties to God no, by never hearing your
prayers ascend from the family altar. no,
by never seating ,ourse with them side

goodness. No. by none Of these Of course,
Did they have wish to become Chris

therefore you should take Them by the
hand aud lead them to the Savior bow
with them before the throne OF grace, that
they may there feel their dependence OF
their Father, that they ma, feel egua

Hear those young men passing at the
hour Of family prayer, hear their shouts

you they have the influence Of prayer
And ye, some Of them are the sons o
