When Hawthorne took the house, he
rechristened it ''The Wayside." and upon
his return from Italy built upon the top
Of the main building what is known as
the tower and used the upper room as a
study. The house is surrounded by a
close growth of trees, and the tower is
most plainly discernible as the visitor
comes within sight. The present own
ers have left house and grounds unal-
tered and preserved the relics Of Haw-
thorne with greatest care. At one side
Of the building is tree which stands
like the title page to book of reminis-
cences and bears the<nane hawthorn.
Next ssThe Wayside," nearest the
town, is 'sThe Orchard House" which
/. the Alcotts occupied LATER and where
Mr.. Alcott delighted to attend to the
gardening. The 'sSchool of Philosophy
is inclosed in these grounds. Here dur
ing July and August conversations were
held with such speakers as Alcott, En-
erson, T. w. Higginson, Mrs. Ednah D.
Cheney and others. An interesting event
connected with the school was the intro
duction into this country of Sir Edwin
Arnold's "Light Of Asia" One Of the
first copies of the book was sent by Mr..
Charming, nephew of DIR. Charming
and relative Of Sir Edwin, to Mr.. Alcott
with the recommendation that it be read
aloud at the summer school and used as
the text for the study of the literature Of
Buddha. It was through Mr.. Alcott'f
fundamentally that the book was re-
printed in America. M. A j.

CONCORD, Mass, March 23.-There
seems to be something about the air of
this delightful old town which nourishes
a rich growth of talent in its children, and
a wonderful display Of literary produc-
tons of both major and minor degree has
come from within it's charmed circles.
One of the more recent residents and
delightful writer of. children's stories
is. Mrs. Daniel Lothrop, better known to
the public under her nom de plume of
Margaret Sidney. "The Wayside," the
old home of Alcott and Hawthorne, was
purchased by the Lothrops in 1888, and it
has been the summer residence Of the
family since that time. Mrs. Lothrop is a
beautiful woman, more beautiful than
her portraits show, and possesses great
ability. Since the death of her husband
she has carried on the business of the
large publishing house of the D. Lothrop
company, Boston.
One of her most recent books is "Old
Concord; Her Highways and Byways."
She had excellent opportunities for do
ing this work, for 1.-THE Wayside" con-
tains history in itself as the home of
two noted families and is situated in the
heart of historical part of the coun-
try. For number of years prior to
1915 the Alcotts lived in the house,
which was then known as "The Hill
side," and much of the family history
which is so charmingly chronicled in
'sLittle Women" was lived there. Miss
Alcott says in her journal that that was
the happiest time in her life. 70

Especial Correspondence
New HAVEN, March 23.-The oldest
clock Of American manufacture that now
exists is the property Of Mr.. A. ]. Ed
wards Of this city. For years it stood
undisturbed in the old garnet, where it
was placed for storage, no one being
aware of it's great value. It was made
by Gideon Roberts of Bristol, Conn.,, the
frs. man to make clocks in this coun-
try. 4. According to the. best historical
writers and antiquarians, no clocks were
manufactured in America previous to
1900, at which time Mr.. Roberts first
placed his timepieces on the market.
His clocks were made with the greatest
care, and much time was spent in per
fecting them. They were all of the style
commonly known as "hall" clocks, about
6 feet in height, handsomely finished
and a recognized separate piece of furni
ture in which the owner always took
great pride.
Mr.. Roberts numbered his clocks in
the order of their manufacture, the first
being No. 1, the second 2, etc. OF the
first one made only pieces have beer
\ found, and until the discovery of this lat
est relic No. 80, which is now in the
rooms of the historical society at Bristol
was supposed to be the Oldest in exist,
ence. All of the clocks now intact made
by Mr.. Roberts are regarded as great
prizes, and fabulous prices have beer
paid for them. When therefore the NUM-
ber7, proving it to be the seventh cloch
made, was found on the inside of the
timepiece discovered at Unionvifle. it,
great value was at once realized.
The clock is decidedly ancient look
ing timekeeper and plainly shows it,
great age. 1t is over feet tall, with &
broad face and peculiarly shaped hands
The dial is remarkably clear and fresh
and can he easily read many feet distant
The woodwork is well preserved. and
the works are in almost as good condi
ton as when they were made. When
found, the works were rusted, but they
have since been cleaned and are now in
running conditisu,5 J. H. E.;
