CHAPTER II.


 Aunt Agatha pronounced Mir. Jordaa's lirt sermon ''very sensible" and wondered what such man could see in that 'mincing, algyr- ed little bit of goods, Miss Tipple." H..
 But as the weeks went by she did not hear of him quite in the way she liked in the c0i- tages where she visited, and she heard of Eiin a good deal more than she liked in parsoG at the parish, at garden parties, archery-ne' l. lngS, and social gatherings of various kinGS. Not that he failed to visit among the humber inhabitants of Hilderstock, but while she heard of him as smoking his pipe with them, talking about their gardens, or their pigs and their poultry, and otherwise rendering himself very popular, he never seemed to speak to them of religion, or about purely professional topics.
 This was very different from the practice of the late rector, jealous evangelical, whose dutiful disciple Aunt Agatha had been, though in her sturdy independence she had sometimes vemtured to express her doubt as to the wisdom of prolonged exhortations in houses where the struggle for existence was hard and exacting for, as she would say, you can't make windmill go with pair of bellows"
 Something between the prolixity of his pre- decessor and the too purely mundane converse Of MT. Jordan would have been her idea of the happy mean.
 ''l have just been telling Mrs Ginpson," said he one day when he encountered her at the door of a cottage, ''that if she wants her hens to lay she must vary their food lt- tle."
 "'Dont you think there are some things uore important than hens eggs you might speak to Nanny Gimpson about ?" asked my aunt, looking him full in the face. ''I'm afraid she's dreadfully ignorant, and they say parsons are souls waggOners"
 'Do you know, Miss Gayfer," he answer. ed, ''that when see that cheerful, active old lady, stricken with pain and with years mak- ing the thinnest of livelihoods by unrenitting care, yet always >contented. 1 feel that 1t is for me to learn and be silent; she is the teacher"
 My aunt was silent for second or two, and then answered: ''There is great deal in what you say, but it is way of looking at things that is new to me. If it is the right way, think have wasted good deal of time" 3 sE eH
 "Assuredly not" said he, ''you have car ried brightness and order into many homes, and wherever go find you have been an in- fuence for good. Sympathy is the true 'open sesame to a human heart, and in power of sympathy we men lag far behind women"
 From that time gradual change was ob- servable in Aunt Agatha's dealings with the poor folk whom she visited. It would have

Many or the letters were either written or received within the Wolcott mansion, above referred to. Words of loving counsel and wise admonition went out from it's old walls to sons at Yale, which we, parents of the present day, could not do better than copy fer the benefit of of our stalwart boys, who, century later, are treading the same old classic Halls. ....-
 One of the letters speaks of South St., where are now our smoothly shaven lawns, as then covered with "a mass of huckleberry bush- es, so high that truant boy could hide among them"
 Some of them give pleasant glimpses of the cheerful, affectionate home life passed under it's old roof so long ago. They tel; us that friends then as now came and went within its ample rooms, that birthdays, and wedding anniversaries were noted then with affection, as they now are, that it's fair daughters read, then, the same old story of romance that so brightens the world for our modern damsels In short, it tells us that life, with it's varied in tefest and pleasures, went on much the same one hundred years ago as it now does
 Reading the same letters as I do, in sight of the old house, with the beautiful representations of their authors before me, almost expect, as raise my eyes, to see the dignifed forms of the elder Wolcotts, resting from ''tfe cares of state. upon it's deep, roomy porch, or the fair Mary Ann taking her .'in- nocent pleasure" in the garden. or vending her way. in search of ''clear comfort" to the ssdrove" or 'spurling stream, of whose famil- far places she writes. so many years ago.
 But changes have come to the old house. hold. and but little is left to tell that they once occupied the old house, which was for three successive generations the home of the family. It was built by the elder Oliver Vol colt in 1754, and. at that time, was considered the most elegant house in the State, west of the Connecticut river. Within it, both Oliver the first, and Frederick Wolcott died, each at the age of three score years and ten.
 For many years it was the seat of gener- erous and dignifed hospitality, and within it Washington, Hamilton, Rochambeau, and Lafayette, were entertained as guests, as we'll as host of Senators. Governors, Judges, Divines, and others distinguished in every walk of life. Except the elms they planted and the monuments of their dead, it is almost the only trace of the family left in the town. wish it might be preserved. confess
