Not one of us Americans ought to thinl;

that there ushered In the Revolution.
And so l revert with satisfaction to n
few historic events.
Concord's Indian name was "Muske-
taquid." One authority says this means
grass ground" another, grass grown
river" And here to Musketaquld came
the first inland settlement of the Mas
sachusetts colony In 1885 after having
taken the precaution to purchase the
land from the Indians. Land could be
had cheap in those days! Then the
place was called Concord because all
was harmony.
Here wandered the gentle apostle, FL
lot, to labor with the Indians until
they could till the soil like the white
man and had made quite n good code

In 1859 Nathaniel Hawthorne return
ed to Concord from Lenox and bought
Mr.. Alcotts place. The Hillside, situated
on the Lexington road about mile out
OF town. 1t consisted of 20 acres of
farm and wood land and small wood
en- house, whose low ceiling and heavy
beams attested its antiquity. To the
house Hawthorne made several addi-
tions and then gave the place n name
of his own, The Waysde.
Although the place was by the way
side, Mr.. Bartlett says Hawthorne must
have intended q symbolism in giving
1t its name, as in a letter to a friend
he writes:
"wac there ever such n weary delay
in obtaining the slightest recognition
from the public ms in my case? ] sat
down by the wayside Of life, like man
| under enchantment, and n shrubbery
| sprang up around me, and the bushes
grew to be saplings. and the sapllngs
became trees, until no exit appeared
| possible through the entanglins depths
OF my obscurity."
It has been aptly said that the place
! Is like Hawthorne, MS 1t is unobtrusive,
retiring land provided with mysteri-
Gus. sheltered retreats" further that
though the rambling house has plain,
domestic air, with it's climbing wood
bine and roses. still the dark pines on
the lawn and the evergreen trees on the
hill Introduce "a shadowy presence like
that OF serious thoughts or q musing
mind"
Hawthorne looked out from his win
dows upon fertile meadows and low,
wooded hills. The crest of the ridge at
the back of the house was called by
Mrs. Hawthorne his Mount of Vision.
Here he used to pace among the tam
gled growth dreaming written and I'M
written books, and here the irregular
! path worn by his constant pacing still
