Another pie was made of doves and

1t would be easy to explain Haw-
thorne's peculiar temperament after
the modern fashion by reference 10
heredity and environment, says Paul

there was II strain of eccentricity In
the family. He himself tells of cousin
who made a spttoon out of the skull Of
his enemy. and II IL natural that de-
scendnnt of the old Puritan witch
Judge should portray the weird and
grotesque aspects of life. Probably,
too, his native tendency was increased
by the circumstances that surrounded
his youth=the seelusion OF Ills moth
cr's life, his boyhood on Lake Sehagu
where, as he says, lie first got his
cursed habit OF solitude" and tie
long years during which he lived rs II
hermit in Salem"
But after all these external matters
and even the effect OF hcredlty SO far
us we can fnthom II explain little or
nothing, \ thousand other men might
have written his books IL their source
lay In such antecedents. Behind IL all
was the dcmonic force of the nun
himself, the everlasting mystery of

choosing him TO be nm exemplar and
Interpreter of the inviolable individual
lily In which lie the pain and glory of
our human estate.

place across the river from Albany,
during the civil war and made an elo-
quent speech In which he praised the
young men of Greenbush for showing
their patriotism by exerting themselves
to procure the star spangled banner.
This did not altogether please the
chairman, who whispered to him that
the young ladies' OF Greenbush had
also been instrumental in raising funds
for the purchase OF the flag
Thereupon SAKE, addressing the
young ladies', made them graceful
and gallant apology for not including
