That the famous Puritan stock should dis
appear from New England, as it is asserted
to be disappearing, is matter for regret. So
far as the dwindling is due to selfish adj
| diction among the wealthy to the careless
pleasures of unmarried life it is a subject of
reprobation. But at all events, to a consid-
cradle extent the alleged deterioration is
| question chiefly, as it were, of account. The
old Yankee stock is lost to Massachusetts and
Connecticut and Maine, simply that it may
| emerge in another and less exhausted quar-
ter of the American continent. For the
sake of American prosperity at large, it is
hardly to be wished that the area of Ameri-
| can activity should become so contracted as
| to oblige adventurous spirits to abide i'll New
England and wed the Pricillas and Hephzi-
| bahs of their native villages--London Times.
