Thjc Governors of Massachusetts cannot claim to have belonged to the aristocratic classes. Talbot was a factory lad, Bice a stationer’s clerk, Gaston a Connecticut store-keeper’s son, Boutwell a village shop-keeper, Banks a “bobbin boy,” Everett a clergyman’s son, Emory Washburn a country lawyer, William B. Washburn a manufacturer and Andrew a country merchant’s son. A soon book, whether a novel or not, is one that leaves you farther on than when you took ft up. If when you drop it, it drops you down in the same old Bpot, with no finer outlook, no cleared vision, no stimulated desires for that which is better and higher, it is in no sense a good book. —Anna Warner. In the Africi&n Methodist church of North Carolina there are one hundred local preachers and ninty-two exhorters.
