MRS. STOWE AND DIR. HOPKINS "yVOO-
ING"

Rev. SAMUEL HOPKINS, ID. D.-Mrs.
Stoves new story, called "The Minister s
Wooing," has introduced this eminent d..
vine to acquaintance of thousands OF indi.
vlduals who never before heard of his exis-
tence. To such persons some account of
his life. drawn from authentic sources, NAV
be interesting. He was born in Waterbury
Conn, September IL. 172l. Graduated at
Yale College in 114l. In December of
that year he went TO Northampton to study
divinity with the celebrated Jonathan Ed
wards. December %, l743, he was or
dained in Great Darlington then called
Houssatonnock,) and remained there till
Jan. Is. 1869, when, on account Of the dim
mutton of the society and the want of sup.
port, he was dismissed by an ecclesiastical
council April II, l770, he was settled in
the ministry in Newport, r |. In Deccm-
Der. l116. when the British took possession
of Newport, he left town, and retired to
bis family, which be had before sent to
Great Darlington. During the summer Of
l711 be preached in Newburyport He af-
terwards preached in Canterbury aud STAN.
ford. In the Spring of 1850 he returned
to Newport the British having evacuated
the town in the preceding fall He found
his society SO much diminished and impov-
erished that be had no prospect of mainten.
ance but supported by a weekly cpntribu
ton and the donations of his friends, he
continued to preach to them till his death
which occurred on the Doth of December
1903, at the age of 81 years.
DR.. Hopkins was twice married. Not lone
after his settlement at Great Darlington be
was betrothed to young woman of tha,
town. But the unexpected return Of for
mer lover of the fair lady, caused her t.
ask the doctor to release her from her en-
gasement to him, which he consented to d.
with very great regret Not daunted, how
ever, By this i'll success, he sought and wor
the hand of Miss Joanna Tngersoll, to WHOM
he was married in the year 115S. She
died August 81. 1893. On the 18th c,
September, 1874, DR.. Hopkins married
Elizabeth West, of Newport, one Of his par
lshioners, who survived him From these
facts 1t will be seen how much Mrs. Stove
has drawn on her imagination in writing
her story, and how utterly see has disregar
ded da.es. The time of her novel is a.
late as the summer of 1894 This is reu
dered certain by the introduction of Aaron
Burr. who is called on his first appearanc,
a member of the United States Senate. anc
it is afterward stated that his wife is dead
Burr's term of service in the Senate com
menced in Ill, and terminated in 1897
Mrs Burr died in the spring of 1874. S,
