Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fireside Stories In a small, but genteel little country town, situated in a fertile, and populous part of England, lived the Rev. Joseph Middleton, the respected and worthy minister of a religion, whose principles of order, peace, and harmony, were exemplified by his whole household. It was a frequent, and familiar observation in the town where they lived, that Mrs. Middleton was always fortunate in finding excellent servants; but the secret of this good fortune was, that the servants of Mrs. Middleton were expected to be but human, that they Were treated kindly, and that if not exactly all their mistress could desire, pains were studiously taken to make them better in her service than she had found them. And the same system pervaded her domestic management throughout: so that when the worthy minister came home, fatigued with his pastoral duties, he was sure to find a clean hearth, with cheerful faces all around It, his favorite chair drawn out into the place he liked to fill, and such creature-comforts spread before him, as the heart of man knows well how to value - we will not say at their true worth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oldtown Fireside Stories The Columbian Sentinel came from Boston with its slender stock Of news and editorial; but all the multiform devices - pictorial, narrative, and poetical - which keep the mind Of the present generation ablaze with excitement, had not then even an exist ence. There was no theatre, no Opera; there were in Oldtown no parties or balls, except, perhaps, the annual election, or Thanksgiving festival; and when winter came, and_the sun went down at half-past four O'clock, and left the long, dark hours of evening to be provided for, the necessity Of amusement be came urgent. Hence, in those days, chimney-corner story-telling became an art and an accomplishment. Society then was full Of traditions and narratives which had all the uncertain glow and shifting mys tery Of the firelit hearth upon them. They were told to sympathetic audiences, by the rising and fall ing light Of the solemn embers, with the hearth crickets filling up every pause. Then the aged told their stories to the young, - tales Of early life tales Of war and adventure, Of forest-days, Of Indian cap tivities and escapes, Of bears and wild-cats and pan.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Laird's Luck, and Other Fireside Tales By diligent baling we were able, under his direction, to bring our boat to a shingly beach, over which a light shone warm in a cottage window. Our hail was quickly answered by a second light. A lantern issued from the building, and we heard the sound of footsteps. Is that you, Donald? Cried our rescuer (as I may be permitted to call him). Before an answer could be returned, we saw that two men were approaching; of whom the one bearing the lantern was a grizzled old carlin with bent knees and a stoop of the shoulders. His companion carried himself with a lighter step. It was he who advanced to salute us, the old man holding the light obediently; and the rays revealed to us a slight, up-standing youth, poorly dressed, but handsome, and with a touch of pride in his bearing.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Old New England the Romance of a Colonial Fireside The stories that were told on old red settles by chimney fires in old New England days had a peculiar spirit and coloring. Quaint as many of them were, they carried deep spiritual meanings. Reward or retribution was somehow associated with the queer tale of the country grocery store, the ordinary, the husking party, or of the neighborhood or town. I used to hear many of these tales when a boy in the old home farm in the Pokanoket country on the Mount Hope and Narragansett Bays. They have always haunted me at such times as my mind wandered back to the past, and I have liked to reproduce them in my own way for the magazines and papers. Of the stories in this volume, A Hallowe'en Reformation (Captain Tuttle and the Miracle Clock) and A Regular Old-fashioned Thanksgiving (The Haunted Oven) appeared in the Century Magazine, and are used here by permission of the Century Company.

Download or read book The Dutchman s Fireside Classic Reprint written by James K. Paulding and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dutchman's Fireside All the interior part of what is now New York State - from Albany to Lakes Erie and Ontario and for miles north and south - was, during the greater part of the colonial period, occupied by Indians of the family known as Iroquois or Hurons. These were united in a league called the Five Nations, the tribes composing which were the Mohawks, Oneidas, Senecas, Cayugas, and Onondagas. Early in the eighteenth century these tribes were joined by the Tuscaroras of the South, and thus became the Six Nations. About the time the Dutch first settled on Manhattan Island the Five Nations numbered probably eleven thousand souls. To-day they are over fifteen thousand, but they no longer occupy their original hunting grounds. Some of them are settled on land set apart for them in New York State, others are scattered in various parts of the North and West. The Iroquois were a very important factor in the many con icts on American soil between the French and English during colonial times. They usually fought on the side of the English, but in what is known as the French and Indian War they took the side of France. This war began in 1754 and continued till 1760. It was caused partly by disputes between the French and English as to their respective claims to terri tory beyond the Alleghenies, but at the same time the French and English were at war in Europe for causes which had reference exclu sively to European political troubles.
