Burial-places in Cambridge. George S. Saunders, Chairman of the Cambridge Cemetery Commissioners. Go where the ancient pathway guides, See where our sires laid down Their smiling babes, their cherished brides, The patriarchs of the town; Hast thou a tear for buried love? A sigh for transient power? All that a century left above, Go,—read it in an hour! O. W. Holmes. As early as 1634-35, one John Pratt was granted two acres of land, described as situated By the old Burying Place without the common pales. This deed indicates the first land used for burials, which was located, as nearly as can be ascertained, on the northerly corner of the present Ash and Brattle streets, outside of the stockade which was erected in 1632. Rev. Abiel Holmes, D. D., wrote in the year 1800, that £ 60 was levied 3d February, 1632, towards making a Palisado about the New Towne. This was actually made, and the fosse which was then dug is in some places visible to this day. It enclosed above one th

This fund, as Mr. Andrew McFarland Davis, who discovered it anew a few years ago, expresses it, established the first scholarship in Harvard, and unquestionably the oldest and most interesting foundation of the kind in this country. It is a scholarship in a college for men established by a woman. Sir Thomas Moulson (doubtless the husband of Lady Ann) was lord mayor of London in 1634, and was knighted that year. He was a man of generous deeds, and founded a faire school in Cheshire, the town in which he was born, for the government, education, and instruction of youth in grammar and virtue. The fact that he shared the general interest that adventures in America had roused in England at that time, made it natural that the friends of Harvard College should turn to his widow when they needed money. Thus it was that the first scholarship was established in the college. I

he orthodox and soulflourish-ing ministry of Mr. Thomas Shepheard. The college was meant to serve the churches, and to give them a learned ministry when the first ministers should lie in the dust. The ministers of the church had a constant influence in shaping the life of the college; and the presence of the college, with its teachers and students, conferred a rare distinction, which has remained. A very exciting and important matter in the colony was the arrival of Mrs. Anne Hutchinson in 1634. She soon declared some peculiar views, which were deemed erroneous and hurtful. Then came a fierce dissension, and the colony was in dire peril. There was so much confusion in Boston that the General Court met here, and an election was held on the Common. Then an ecclesiastical synod, the first held in America, was called, and met here, in the little meeting-house on Dunster Street, and its sessions lasted for three weeks. Eighty-two of Mrs. Hutchinson's opinions were condemned with grea

philanthropy, and in Providence he met William Goodell, who was then Ibid., p. 25. publishing a paper called the Investigator. I endeavored Ibid., p. 25. to arouse him, records Lundy, but he was at that time slow of speech on my subject—a slowness for which he afterwards amply atoned. William Goodell (born in Coventry, N. Y., Oct. 25, 1792, died in Janesville, Wisconsin, Feb. 14, 1878) was a lineal descendant of Robert Goodell, one of the earliest settlers of Danvers, Massachusetts (1634). Disappointed in his hope of a collegiate education, he early entered business life at Providence, R. I., and subsequently, at the age of 24, made a long voyage to the East Indies, China, and Europe, as supercargo. After his return he was merchant and book-keeper successively at Providence, Alexandria, Va., and New York, until, in 1827, he established the Investigator at Providence, devoted to moral and political discussion, and reformation in general, including temperance and anti-slavery.

wood, Mr. Daniell Patricke, John Poole, William Spencer, John Kirman, Symon Sackett. Of these eight persons who laid the foundation of the New Town, Thomas Dudley was the most eminent. He was elected Deputy Governor in 1630, became Governor in 1634, and was either Governor, Deputy Governor, or Assistant, during the remainder of his life. He removed to Ipswich, perhaps before May, 1636, when he and Bradstreet were named as magistrates to hold the court there, while others were appointed for illiam Spencer, uniformly styled Mr. on the court records, was one of the principal gentlemen. He was associated with Mr. Lockwood, May, 1632, to confer with the Court about raising of a public stock; was Deputy or Representative of the New Town, 1634-1637; one of the first Board of Townsmen, 1635; lieutenant of the trainband, 1637, and a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, at its organization in 1639; he probably removed to Hartford in 1639, where he was Selectman and Deputy

the dates would indicate. For example, Dudley and Bradstreet, and probably others, under date of 1632, were here in 1631; many of those who are entered under date of 1633 were certainly here in 1632; and some of those whose names first appear in 1634 had perhaps been residents one or two years previously. It may also be observed, that of those who removed, many did not permanently remain in the town first selected, but subsequently went elsewhere; yet it does not properly fall within my proviJohn Talcott.

to the colonists, through life, by many kind offices in their behalf. This temptation to remove was not kept secret, though no direct reference to it appears on record. In addition to the before named discouragements, which tempted Mr. Shepard and his company to abandon Cambridge, may be mentioned the loss of two most valuable associates, namely John Haynes, who removed to Hartford in 1637, and Roger Harlakenden, who died November 17, 1638, aged 27 years. The former had been Assistant, 1634; Governor, 1635; and Assistant again, 1636, and remained in office up to the time of his removal in the spring of 1637;—the latter was elected Assistant in 1636, at the first election after his arrival, and reelected in 1637 and 1638. One was colonel, and the other lieutenant-colonel, of the military force. Both were conspicuous for moral excellence and mental ability, and each bore a large share of the pecuniary burdens of the public. The death of Mr. Harlakenden was peculiarly grievous to
