"Remember, I do not assert my faith in a theory which is indicated by
an affirmative answer to these inquiries, for I have none. I give the
record of the earth's progress in the past, as it is written upon the
rocks, standing out upon precipices, brought to light by the
researches, and translated by the energy of scie... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
From Bound Pond we rowed up the inlet, a broad and sluggish stream,
full of grass and lily pads, to Little Tapper's Lake. We saw several
deer feeding along the shore that, discovering us as we rowed
carelessly along, went whistling and snorting away into the forest. As
we approached the lake, dark clouds gathered in t... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
We entered Little Tripper's Lake towards evening, at the north end,
and looking down south, one of the most beautiful views imaginable
opened upon our vision. Surrounded by low and undulating hills, dotted
with islands, with long points running far out into the lake, and
pleasant little bays hiding around behind woode... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
We intended to remain here quietly for a few days, taking things easy,
rowing, and fishing, and hunting enough for exercise only. There is
plenty of deer, and trout, and duck, and partridge here, to be taken
with small labor; there are bears, and wolves, and panthers, in the
woods around. But these are fewer and harde... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"Go ahead," said the Doctor, "I'll take a quarter as my share of the
story, and you may cut it off of either end, or carve it out of the
middle. I'll take a quarter, tough or tender."
"You may set down a quarter to my account," said Smith, "and Spalding
shall take another." "Very well, then," said Martin, "I'll believ... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"Well," continued Martin, as he lighted his pipe by dipping it into
the embers and scooping up a small coal; "Well, Mark Shuff and a
friend of his by the name of Westcott, had a shanty one winter over on
Tupper's Lake; they were trappin' martin, and mink, and muskrat, and
wolves, when they could get one. They shantied... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"Mark, as I said, had no rifle, his only weapons being a hunting knife
and a heavy walking stick, which he carried in his hand. To say that
he was not frightened, would be stating what I don't believe to be
true, and I've heard him tell how his huntin' cap seemed to be lifted

"Mark was not more than fifteen rods from the shore, but that ground
was occupied by the wolves; on the right was the water, into which he
might at any moment be compelled to plunge; while both before and
behind him his advance and retreat was alike cut off. He had noticed
that whenever he stopped, the wolves stopped,... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |

woods, and old greyback turned a summerset and went down. The
astonished wolves clustered together for a moment in confusion, and

At the east end of the lake a large stream, deep, sluggish, and
tortuous enters, which we voted came from a lake or pond, back at the
base of the hills, seen some three or four miles distant in that
direction, and while the other boats passed in another direction,
Spalding and myself started upstream to explore it. As... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
Well, be it so, and who will regret it? It is a sad thing to see a
whole race perish, wiped out from the aggregate of human existence.
But in this instance, its place will be filled by a higher and nobler
race, and the hunting-ground of the savage and the pagan, be converted
into cultivated fields; where stood the wig... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
We threw out a trolling line as we passed up the lake; but we caught
no trout. Along the shore, however, we caught small ones in plenty
with the fly. These shore trout, as I call them, seem to be a distinct
species, differing in many respects from the other trout of the lakes
or streams. They are uniform in size, rare... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
As we sat with our meerschaums, in the evening, speculating upon the
chances of securing a bear, or a moose, before leaving the woods, a
wolf lifted up his voice on the hill opposite as, and made the old
forest ring again with his howling. He was answered as in the night
previous, from away down the lake, and by anoth... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"But I set out to tell the story that the old Ohio pilot told that
night, while the travellers sat smoking around their camp-fires, and
the wolves were howling in the wilderness about us. I do not, of
course, vouch for its truth; I simply tell it as he told it to us. He
seemed to believe it himself, for he told it wit... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |

"Do the men of the present day ever think what a gigantic labor that
was of clearing away those old forests? Contemplate a wilderness,

"Exactly so," said the Doctor; "and we have not as yet had the
pleasure of making his acquaintance. Suppose you give us an
introduction to the gentleman."
"These interruptions are entirely out of order," gravely remarked
Smith; "they must not be repeated. The counsel will proceed."

"That ash sapling was safe from that day. It stood then in the old

"I went out with a friend one day to one of these windfalls, partly
after blackberries, and partly for partridges. We were both boys,

"The Squire's story," said Cullen, as he knocked the ashes from his
pipe, and commenced shaving a fresh supply of tobacco with his
jack-knife, and depositing it in the palm of his left hand, "the

We took our dogs from the island, and rowed to the broad channel of
the inlet which enters the lake on the left hand side, as you look to
the south. There are two of these inlets, which enter within a quarter
of a mile of each other, each of which comes down from little lakes,
or ponds, deeper in the wilderness. The o... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"Treed, by Moses!" cried Cullen, as he dashed forward, the rest of us
following as fast as we could.
"Not too fast," said Martin, "not too fast. There's no hurry; he won't

We dined that afternoon on a roasted sirloin of bear, stewed jerked
venison, fried trout, and pork. I cannot say that I altogether
relished the roast, though some of our company took to it hugely. The
truth is, that with some of them venison and trout were beginning to
be somewhat stale dishes, they did not relish fat... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"Spoken like a liberal and free-hearted gentleman," said
Smith. "Well, Doctor, name the amount and nature of the blackmail you
intend to levy upon me. But have a conscience, man! have a

"By Noah?" asked Smith, interrupting him, "Noah who?"

"Impossible!" exclaimed Smith, "we can't go that, Doctor. I can't
stand my quarter of that."
"Foolish man!" continued the Doctor; "I say I was alone; let me
demonstrate my proposition. Blackstone says, and what he says every
lawyer will concede is the end of the law, and the beginning too, for

"It is one of the mysteries of our system of jurisprudence," replied
Spalding, "that while everything else is on the move, while progress

CHAPTER XXII.
A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER--A NEW LAKE--A MOOSE--HIS CAPTURE--A SUMPTUOUS
DINNER.
We started the next morning on an exploring voyage up the right-hand
stream, which enters this beautiful lake some half a mile west of the
one we had looked into the day before. On either hand, as we passed
along the narrow chann... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
We saw the fresh tracks of a moose on the sandy beach, tracks that had
been made that morning, and we concluded to spend the day here, in the
hope of securing one of these gigantic deer. We rowed to the island,
intending to encamp there. We entered a little bay, of half an acre,
the points forming it coming within a f... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"Look here!" said I; "gentlemen, this game is mine. I claim him by
right of discovery, and my right must not be interfered with."
"Very well," the Doctor answered, "we'll only take a hand in his
capture if he's likely to escape. So, go ahead."
As we came within a few yards of the shore, and we could see that the

On our return to the lake, Spalding and myself rowed across to the
mouth of a cold brook, to procure a supply of fresh trout, upon which,
with our moose and bear-meat, to dine. This we soon accomplished, and
on our arrival home, we found huge pieces of moose and bear roasting
before a blazing fire. The meat was suppor... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"I remember," said Smith, "the first year that I was in college, of
hearing two learned professors disputing about what sort of animal it
was that made the piping noise we hear in the marshy places, and
stagnant pools, in the spring time, usually known as peepers. One
insisted that it was a newt, or small lizard; and ... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"You _did_ do a great thing, my friend," said Spalding, "you solved a
mystery about which men, wise in the learning of the books, had
perhaps been disputing for centuries. What are the peepers? asked the
naturalist, who listened to their piping notes from the marshy places
in the spring time. It was a matter of small ... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"The lightning, that fierce spirit of the storm, that darted down on
its mission of destruction from the black cloud floating in the sky,

man, and be made utilitarian?' Philosophy ... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"But who would suppose that such a tiny little frogling could make
such a loud, shrill, and ear-piercing sound? Who would think that a
million of such puny things, could make the air of a summer evening so
full of the music of their songs? I remember how, in my boyhood, I
listened to their voices, which came up loudes... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
CHAPTER XXIII.
THE CRICKET IN THE WALL--THE MINISTER'S ILLUSTRATION--OLD MEMORIES.

floating lazily in the little bays, under the shadow of the tall
trees, and lounging upon small islands, gathering the low-bush
whortleberries which grew in abundance upo... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"I have been listening," said Spalding, as we sat upon the rude
benches in front of our camp-fire, indulging in our usual season of
smoking after our meals, "to the song of the crickets in those rude
jams, and they call up sad, yet pleasant memories from the long past;
of the old log house, the quiet fire-place, the c... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
CHAPTER XXIV.
THE ACCIDENTS OF LIFE--"SOME MEN ACHIEVE GREATNESS, AND SOME HAVE
GREATNESS THRUST UPON THEM"--A SLIDE--RATTLESNAKES AT THE TOP AND AN
ICY POOL AT THE BOTTOM--A FANCIFUL THEORY.
While we sat thus conversing, our boatmen went down along the beach,

CHAPTER XXV.
HEADED TOWARDS HOME--THE MARTIN AND SABLE HUNTER--HIS
CABIN--AUTUMNAL SCENERY.
We concluded that we would break up our camp in the morning, and drift
leisurely back towards civilization. We had tarried upon this
beautiful lake until we had explored its romantic nooks, and we
started on our return to our... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
We rowed leisurely along the eastern shore, and in a deep bay found
excellent fishing, at the mouth of a cold mountain brook. On the banks
of this bay we found the winter hut of a martin and sable trapper. It
had an outer and inner apartment, the latter almost subterranean. The
hut was composed of small logs, which a ... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"The hillsides about these lakes," remarked the Doctor, "must be
superlatively beautiful in the fall, when the forest puts on its
autumnal foliage. They present such a variety of trees, of so many
different kinds, and the hills and mountains are so admirably
arranged, that they must be gorgeous beyond description. How... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"A calm autumnal day in the country is a great thing, a beautiful
thing, a thing to thank God for; a thing to make one happy, buoyant of
spirit, full of gratitude to the great Creator; a thing to make one
merry, too, not with a loud and boisterous mirth, but with a heart

CHAPTER XXVI.
A SURPRISE--A SERENADE--A VISIT FROM STRANGERS--AN
INVITATION TO BREAKFAST--A FASHIONABLE HOUR AND A
BOUNTIFUL BILL OF FARE.
The evening was calm, and the lake slept in stirless beauty before us.
The shadows of the mountains reached far out from the shore, lieing
like a dark mantle upon the surface of ... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
Spalding and the Doctor followed, and their amazement was equalled
only by their admiration when
"Oft in the stilly night"
came stealing in matchless harmony over the water, "A serenade from
the Naiads, by Jupiter!" exclaimed Smith.

The morning broke bright and balmy. A pleasant breeze swept lazily
over the lake, lifting the thin mist that hung like a veil of gauze
above the water. We left our tents standing, and crossed over to the
shanty of our friends of the previous evening to breakfast. We found
them living like princes. Their two boatmen ha... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
It was amusing to hear Smith relate the manner of capturing the bear,
the glory of which achievement he had won by the tossing up of a
dollar; how he had started out alone in one of the boats with his
rifle to look into a little bay half a mile below the shanty, where be
left the rest of us sleeping after dinner; and ... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"Gentlemen," said Spalding, "we will not all fire at this animal as we
did at Smith's bear. One bullet is enough for him, and if he gets down
among us, I think six men will be a match for one 'coon,' so we need
not be inhuman through a sense of danger. Whose shot shall he be?"
"I move that Spalding have the first shot... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"We have played the boy again, yesterday and to-day, pretty well,"
remarked Smith, as we sat in front of oar tents in the evening,
smoking our pipes. "And I am half inclined to think we have started
for home too soon, after all. Spalding's moralizing for the last two
or three days deceived me. I thought, as he was be... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"You remind me," said Spalding, "of a little incident, simple in
itself, but which, at the time, made a deep impression upon my mind,
and which occurred but a few weeks ago. Returning from my usual walk,
one morning, my way lay through the Capitol Park. The trees, covered
with their young and fresh foliage, intertwine... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"'Please tell me what tune it is?' said the little boy, addressing me.
"I told him, and he turned to his little sister, saving, 'Come,
Lizzie, we must go; mother said we must be home by half-after seven,
and it's most that now;' and he put his arm lovingly around her neck,
and she put hers around his waist, and they w... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"'I should like to be a big strong man like father is!' How like a boy
was this? Thirsting for the strength, the might and power of manhood!
And this is the aspiration of the young heart always; to be mature,
strong to grapple with the cares, and wrestle with the stern
actualities of life. How little of these does chi... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
After an hour's rest, we launched our little fleet upon the river
again, and while the sun was yet above the western highlands, we stood
upon the broad flat rock at the mouth of Bog River, looking out over
Tupper's Lake, one of the most beautiful sheets of water that the sun
or the stars ever looked upon. Our sea-bisc... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"Your question," answered Spalding, "is suggestive. Did you ever think
what gigantic strides the world has made within the memory of men now
living, and who are yet unwilling to be counted as old? Look back for
only fifty years, and note what a stupendous leap it has taken! Where
then were the iron roads over which th... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"There is hope for the world in all this mighty progress, for with it
will one day come the development of the true nature and theory of
government, the true solution of the great theory of the social

"The good time of which you speak," said the Doctor, "when there shall

shall be no wasting by disease, through the perfectability of the

"Well," said Spalding, as he knocked the ashes from his pipe, and rose
to retire, under the cover of the tent, for the night, "be it as you
say, what matters it? 'I would not live always.' Give to us the hope
of an hereafter, a faith that looks through the valley of the shadow

"Talkin' about that trip among the Adirondacks, puts me in mind of an
adventer I had with a bull moose, on one occasion among them. There
are times when sich an animal is dangerous. I've hearn tell of

"When I first saw him, I was standin' with the butt of my rifle on the
log, my hand graspin' the barrel, and as I caught it up suddenly to
load, the string of my powder-horn caught between the muzzle and the
ramrod, broke, and the horn fell to the ground. Here was a fix for a
hunter to be in. My rifle was empty, and e... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
CHAPTER XXX.
GOOD-BYE--FLOATING DOWN THE RACKETT--A BLACK FOX--A TRICK UPON THE
MARTIN TRAPPERS AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.
We rose with the dawn the next morning, and before the sun was above
the hills we were on our way down the lake, to separate as we struck
the Rackett; the Doctor and Smith to return by the way of Kee... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"I say," shouted Smith, as they were about rounding a point that would
hide them from our view, "remember our compact about killing the bear.
The glory of that achievement belongs to me, you know. Don't say a
word about it when you get home till you see me. I haven't fully made
up my mind as to the manner of capturing... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"You have left me little," I replied, "to add to what you have already
said, in expressing the sources of my enjoyment among these beautiful
lakes. Fishing and hunting, considered in the abstract, are things I
care but little about. They are pleasant enough in their way, but what
brings me here is the strong desire as... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"Hold on, Cullen," said I, "lay steady for a moment." I drew upon the
animal, and just as it reached the shore, fired, and it turned over
dead. We found it to be a black fox, that had walked out upon the
ledge, and thus been added another victim to the indulgence of an idle
curiosity. Spalding's bullet had grazed its ... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"I mind once, a good many years ago, Crop and I was over towards the
St. Regis, on a cruise after martin and sable, and anything else in
the way of game we could pick up. I'd laid out my trappin'
arrangements on a pretty large scale, and was doin' a little better
than midlin', when I found that my traps were sprung by... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
"The sun was, may be, an hour high, when lookin' along the line of
marked trees, I saw a black animal come trotting mighty softly towards
the trap I was watchin'. I knew him at once. He was a black fox, and I
knew that he was the gentleman that had been makin' free with my
property for the last few days. He trotted up... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
Opposite, and just below the town, is Carlton Island, on which stand
the ruins of an old French fortification, the walls and trenches and
the solitary chimneys, from which the wooden barracks have rotted or
been burned away, remain as melancholy testimonials of the bloody
strifes between the red men of the forest, and... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |
We spent a pleasant week at Cape Vincent, and then turned our faces
homeward, invigorated in strength and buoyant in spirits, to begin
again a round of toil, from which we, at least, could claim no further
exemption.

days after my return, and seated ... | Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod | Hammond, S. H. (Samuel H.) | 1809 | 1878 | ['en'] | 11 | {'Hunting -- New York (State)', 'Fishing -- New York (State)'} | PG10009 | |

M.DCC.XCI.
THE EULOGIES OF HOWARD
It was my chance to be conversing with a Friend of the benevolent and
indefatigable HOWARD, when our country was first afflicted with the
public intelligence of his death. After our first expressi... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
My arguments, and my zeal, made some impression on the mind of my
antagonist; and sunk so deeply into my own, that on my retiring to rest
they gave rise to the following vision.
I was suddenly transported to the confines of a region, which astonished
me by its loveliness and extent; it was called, The Paradise of true... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"These structures, that you survey with astonishment," said one of my
benevolent conductors, "are devoted to what you mortals denominate the
three liberal professions, Law, Medicine, and Theology. Whoever has a
claim to distinguished honour from any one of the three, has a just
encomium pronounced upon his services by... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"After passing many years of life in the painful investigation of human
offences, it is with peculiar satisfaction that I find myself
commissioned to commemorate, in this Assembly, a character of virtue
without example--a character, at once so meek and so sublime, that, if a
feeling spirit had been poisoned with misan... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"Of good, more immediately visible, which his exertions produced, there
is abundant evidence in his own country. In the wide circle of his
foreign excursion, what nation, what city, does not bear some
conspicuous traces of his intrepid and indefatigable beneficence! Of the
astonishing length to which his zeal and pers... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"By this community, I am confident, such public honours will be paid to
HOWARD, as may be most suitable to the peculiar interest which it
becomes us to take in his glory. What these honours shall be is a point
to be settled by this liberal and enlightened Assembly, which assuredly
will not fail to remember that he sug... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"I am persuaded, that every individual to whom I have now the happiness
of speaking, will readily agree with me in this sentiment, that we
cannot possibly do ourselves more honour as a Fraternity than by
considering HOWARD as an Associate: assuredly, there is no class of men
who may more justly presume to cherish his ... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"Beneficial as his life has been to the world, his memory may be still
more so. It may prove a perpetual blessing to mankind, if it dissipates,
as it ought to do, a weak and common prejudice, which often operates as
a palsy upon the first idea of a great and generous undertaking. The
prejudice I mean is a hasty persua... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"Never, indeed, was the astonishing influence of plain and simple
goodness more strikingly displayed, than in the deference and respect
which this private and meek individual received, not only from foreign
and imperious Rulers of the Earth, but from hardened and atrocious
wretches, on whom Justice herself could hardl... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"I could wish, for the moral interest of mankind, that it were possible
to obtain a minute account of the services rendered to the calamitous
spirit of many a forsaken individual by the singular charity of HOWARD.
What could be more instructive than to observe how his Beneficence
encreased by its exertion and success;... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"I mention not a Medal as a new idea--it has been already in
contemplation; and a motto for it suggested, which applies with such
singular force and propriety to the person whom it is designed to
commemorate, that perhaps the wide range of classical literature could
not afford another passage so strikingly apposite to... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"Earthly distinctions, you know, are of little moment in the sight of
Heaven. You will hear no Prelate; and perhaps you may feel surprised and
indignant, when you observe how very few of your Mitred Countrymen are
to be seen in this Assembly; but you will not retain in this hallowed
spot that most common of human infi... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"If we take the word Courage" in the most common and simple sense of
that term, as a generous and noble contempt of personal hardship and
danger; who has given more numerous or more striking examples of such
brave contempt! Or if we follow the definition of Courage given us by a
profound, an eloquent, and philanthropi... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"The Sensualist and the Sceptic may, indeed, deride the conduct of a
man, who sacrificed all the common pleasures of life, and sought for no
recompence but in the favour of Heaven. It may be said that an illusive
fervor of mind has hurried men, in all periods of the world, into
singular and wild exertions, which excit... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"To the sublime fortitude of these collected warriors, let us compare
the mild magnanimity of HOWARD. Let us survey him setting forth for an
expedition as perilous as theirs; not as the Soldier of Fanaticism, but
as the Pilgrim of Humanity! Attachment to GOD, and resolution which no
hardship, no danger, no difficulty ... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"In the poor and calamitous objects of his regard, in the gentleness
and purity of his manners, in his modest and magnanimous refusal of
earthly honours, in the wide extent and courageous perseverance of his
charity, we cannot fail to discern how richly he was endowed with the
genuine spirit of that pure and sublime R... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"Yes, my Brethren, the day will assuredly come, when the servant so
signally faithful will be called to a reward, surpassing the utmost
reach of our conception, by the voice of his Righteous Master--then, and
then only, will praise be fully proportioned to his transcendant merit;
when this consummate Christian is rais... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
In the moment that this benevolent Divine concluded his address to his
attentive brethren, my kind and vigilant Guides removed me from the
temple.--I was now led into a scene entirely different from those we
left. It was an open and verdant plain, with a few elevations in the
ground, that afforded advantageous views o... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
This speech was followed by a burst of acclamation from those to whom it
was particularly addressed. Similar shouts of applause resounded from
different quarters of the spacious field, while our aetherial
attendants, Gratitude and Admiration, who followed each speaker at the
close of each address to different division... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
"Thou faithful servant of Heaven! thy hour of recompence is come. Justly
hast thou cautioned mankind not to impute thy conduct to rashness or
enthusiasm. Weak and wavering in their own pursuits of felicity, thou
wilt not wonder to see them so in their sense of thy merit, and their
zeal for thy honour: but I am commiss... | The Eulogies of Howard: A Vision | Hayley, William | 1745 | 1820 | ['en'] | 15 | {'Howard, John, 1726-1790'} | PG10010 | |
