"Extending the eye beyond the hill at his feet, and beyond the village and a few sparsely scattered houses adjacent, the stran- ger will witness the placid and hospitable waters, formed into a safe and quiet harbor, by the almost surrounding headlands and projecting beaches. His attention will be drawn to the Gurnet, at the eastward, with its twin beacons, and to Saquish, noted for affording food for the almost famished voyagers; to Clark's Island, on the north, where the Pilgrims, after their arrival in their new home, first passed the Christian Sabbath in prayer ; to the fields of Duxbury and the green elevation there, which bears the name of the redoubtable Captain Standish; to the

lands of Kingston, where piously dwelt good Elder Cushman and his devoted Mary, beside their never-failing spring* of liv- ing water, and where they terminated their earthly pilgrimage; and to the meanderings of Jones's River, and Rocky Nook, and Plain Dealing; and more westerly, to the chain of undula- ting hills, upon the chief of which is the national monument to the Pilgrim Fathers, and to the fresh waters of Billington Sea, and the numerous crystal lakes of the townships. More southerly will be seen the Town Brook and Pilgrims' Spring, where the Pilgrims first quenched their burning thirst, and Watson's Hill, where first appeared human friendship, in the person of the almost civilized Massasoit. Further to the cast, following the circuit, the villages of Wellingly and Eel River, and the far- famed beach, and the warning and inviting Manumet are seen rising nearly 400 feet above the ocean. Extending his vision across the bay, a distance of twenty-five miles, the white cliffs of Cape Cod appear as if suspended in mid-air by some secret enchantment of nature.
"All these the stranger sees; and he may also see, almost at his feet, the famous Leyden street, where were the first dwel- lings of the Pilgrims, and the Middle street, and the North street, lying parallel to each other, and at right-angles with and between the Main street and the Water street at the Water side, where were the first allotments of land; and he may see Forefathers' Rock, the place of landing, and Cole's Hill, where were laid to rest, during the first winter, half of the precious freight of the Mayflower. Well may we say to him, as he stands beside the graves of the Fathers ;
" 'Stranger !- As from this sacred spot, hallowed by the re- membrance of the true-hearted, who sleep beneath its turf, you cast your eyes around and view scenes unsurpassed in interest and beauty,-while you behold flourishing towns and villages abound- ing in industry, prosperity, and happiness, where once all was dreary, inhospitable, and desolate; think of the self-sacrificing forefathers, learn to emulate their virtues, and firmly resolve to transmit unimpaired, to the latest posterity, the glorious lessons of their noble examples.' "-Pilgrim Almanac.
* This spring on the premises of Samuel P. Cole, at Kingston, is well worth a visit; as near by the visitor can see where one of the old Pilgrims had a home. The electric cars take one quite near to the same.

EPITAPHS
FROM
BURIAL HILL,
PLYMOUTH.
A neat monument was erected on the site where, it has long since been ascertained, the remains of Governor Bradford were deposited. The monument consists of a solid block of granite, thirty inches square and eighteen inches thick, on a stone foundation. On the granite is a block of white marble twenty inches square and ten inches thick, on which is a white marble shaft, six feet high, in the form of a pyramid, fifteen inches square at the base, and eight inches square at the top, making the total height eight and one-half feet, erected in 1835 under the direction of Alden Bradford of Boston, late Secretary of State, a descendant of the Governor.
The following persons contributed to the same : Mrs. James De Wolf, of Bristol, R. I, Mrs. Collins, of Newport, wife of the late Lieutenant Governor of Rhode Island, Hon John Davis, of Boston, Le Baron Bradford, of Plymouth, Capt. Gershom Bradford, of Duxbury, William J. A. Bradford, Duncan Bradford, George P. Bradford and Ezra Weston, Jr., Esq., of Boston.

Governor WILLIAM BRADFORD was born in Austerfield, a small and rather obscure village in the southerly border of Yorkshire, England, in March, 1588. His father

died in 1591, leaving him to the care of his grandfather, who died in 1596. Hle was William Bradford then placed in care of his uncle Robert of Scrooby, a small village five miles only from Austerfield in Nottinghamshire, and near to the manor house of Brewster. His father was an husbandman, and Wil- liam was brought up as an agriculturalist. He inherited considerable property from his father. At an early age he became an attendant upon the preaching of Richard Clifton, and became a member of his church, over which he and Robinson presided. Brought up to labor he received only a scanty education, although he was much inclined to literary pursuits. IIe became quite proficient in Dutch, Latin, French and Greek, and was a very devoted student of Hebrew, as "he wished to see with his own eyes the ancient oracles of God in their native beauty." Ile was fond of history and philosophy but theology was his favorite study. He early adopted the views of the separatist divines, with . o enthusiasm peculiar to his nature, and having become at an early age a leading man in the community where he resided, at the age of eighteen he joined with those who emigrated to Holland, where the commercial spirit had tol- erated free religious opinions. In this attempt the company was betrayed by the captain of the vessel in which they had embarked and they were thrown into prison in Boston, Lincolnshire, but he was soon liberated on account of his youth. In the spring of the following year he made another unsuccessful attempt, but finally suc- ceeded and joined his brethren at Amsterdam. Here he learned the art of silk-dyeing. Upon arriving at the age of twenty-one years he came into possession of his estate in England, and engaged in commercial pursuits in which he was not successful.
After a residence of about ten years in Leyden, the church which had been formed by Mr. Robinson prepared to remove to America. In this movement Bradford en- gaged with that zeal with which he entered into everything. Ile embarked for Eng- land July 22, 1620, and on the sixth of September set sail from Plymouth with the first company of about 100 persons, in the Mayflower, arriving in sight of Cape Cod on the ninth day of November. While the vessel lay in Cape Cod Harbor, he be- came one of the foremost in the selection of a site for a settlement; and while he was on an exploring expedition, his wife fell overboard from the ship, December 7, 1620, and was drowned.
Soon after the death of Governor Carver, April 5, 1621, Bradford was elected to fill the vacancy as Governor of the Colony. He was annually elected to that office till 1657, excepting the years, 1633, '34, '36, '38, '44. He had then become conspicu- ous among the people for wisdom, piety, fortitude and benevolence.
HIe lived almost through the whole period of the English Commonwealth, and saw other flourishing colonies, the offspring of that at Plymouth, rising around him and forming the germ of an immense nation, by all of whom he was regarded with the love and veneration due to a patriarch, and in the words of an ancient writer he "was the very prop and glory of Plymouth Colony during the whole series of changes that passed over it." In the office of chief magistrate he was prudent, temperate .and firm, and would suffer no person to trample on the laws, or to disturb the peace of the col- ony.
He wrote a history of " Plymouth plantation," beginning with the first formation of the church (in 1602, and ending with 1647) which was published by the Massachusetts Historical Society in 1856. After an infirm and declining state of health for a number of months, he was suddenly seized by an acute disease in May, 1657. In the night his mind was so enraptured by contemplating upon religious truth and the hopes of futurity, that he said to his friends in the morning, "The good Spirit of God has given me a pledge of my happiness in another world and the first fruits of eternal glory."
The next day, May 9, 1657, he was removed from the present state of existence, greatly lamented by the people not only of Plymouth, but in the neighboring colonies.
" The ninth of May, abont nine of the clock, A precious one God out of Plymouth took : Governor Bradford then expired his breath."-Morton.
Governor Bradford's first wife was Dorothy May; his second wife was Southworth, widow of Edward Southworth, 1623. He had one son by his first wife, William; Mercy and Joseph, by his second wife, from whom has sprung a large and honorable list of descendants, many of whom have lived and died in the Old Colony, and led active, useful lives, and have been highly respectable, as well as prominent in public life in New England and without her limits.
Alice, the wife of Governor Bradford, was no doubt buried near this monument.

The Old Colony records have the following :
" On the 26th day of March, 1670, Mistress Alice Bradford, Seni'r, changed this life for a better, having attained to four score years of age or thereabouts. Skee was a godly matron, and much Joued while shee lived, and lamented tho' aged when she died, and was honorably interred on the 29th day of the month aforesaid: at New Plimouth."
A few years since Hon. John Howland, who died November 5th, 1854, at the age of ninety-seven years and five days, President of the Rhode Island Historical Society, Providence, R. I., and a descendant in the fifth generation from John Howland, the Pilgrim, caused a grave-stone to be erected over the remains of his ancestor, consist- ing of a large slate-stone, upon which is the following ins ption :-
2. Here ended the Pilgrimage of | JOHN HOWLAND and ELIZABETH his | wife. She was the dau'tr of Gov. Carver | They arrived in the Mayflower Dec. 1620; \ they had 4 Sons & 6 dau'trs from whom | are descended a numerous posterity |
"1672 Feb'y 23d FOIIN HOWLAND of | Plymouth deceased, he lived to the age of So \ yr's. He was the last man that was left of those | that came over in the Ship called the Mayflo- | wer that lived in Plymouth."-[Plymouth Records.]
There is a painted sign board at the side of this gravestone containing the follow- ing inscription :-
The grave of | JOHN HOWLAND | died | Feb. 25, 1672.
It has been frequently published that Mr. Howland married a daughter of Gover- nor Carver. This we think is a mistake. In Bradford's History we find that John Howland married Elizabeth, the daughter of John Tillie. Mr. Howland was a dis- uinguished man, and devoted to the interests of the Colony, both in relation to its civil and religious institutions. He was Deputy and Assistant for several years. His early residence was on Summer street, but afterwards removed to Rocky Nook, where he died. The remains of his cellar are visible a short distance north of the residence of the late Hezekiah Ripley.
The colonial records say, " He was a godly man and an ancient professor in the ways of Christ, and proved a useful instrument of good in his place." His descen- dans are quite numerous. The late Reverend John Howland of Carver, Mass., was grandson of Mr. Howland. He was the last man of them that came over in the May- fh wer, who settled in Plymouth. On the passage to this country in the Mayflower the weather was tempestuous, and in a severe storm Mr. Howland fell overboard and came near losing his life. The following is a record of the accident in Bradford's own words. : -
"And in one of them as they thus lay at hull, in a mighty storme, a lustie yonge man (called John Howland) coming upon some occasion above ye grattings, was, with a stele of ye shipe throwne into [ye] sea; but it pleased God yt he caught hould of ye tope-saile halliards, which hunge over board, & rane out at length ; yet he held his hould (though he was sundrie fadomes under water) till he was hald up by ye same rope to ye brime of ve water, and then with a boat hooke & other means got into ye shipe againe, & his life saved; and though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after, and became a profitable member both in church and comone wealthe."

Mr. GRAY came to this conntry with his brother Thomas about 1643. Thomas removed to Tiverton, R. I., and Edward settled in Plymouth. His name frequently

appears in the records of that town, and he became a large owner of real estate. By his habits of industry and good management, he acquired a large property, his estate having been estimated the highest in the colony, at one time amounting to {125) sterling. He was a large owner of land at Rocky Nook, Kingston, where the o d family mansion still stands on the old road leading from Plymouth to Kingston, and is now owned and occupied by his descendants.
Beside his gravestone is a painted sign erected by the town of Plymouth, as fol- lows :-
The grave of | EDWARD GRAY, | Died | June 1681.

"It is a well received tradition that this ancient man was the mate of the May- flower, and the one who first landed on the island in Plymouth Harbor which bears his name. Little is known of the life and circumstances of the mate of the Mayflower; his name is not among the signers of the original compact, nor mentioned ainong the first settlers. It may therefore be conjectured, that he was considered merely as an officer of the ship, and that he returned to England in her with Captain Jones, and subsequently came over and settled in this town. We find his name among those who received allotments of land in 1624; and he also shared in the division of cattle in 1627. He resided at Eel River, and it is supposed that his family were among the sufferers in the house of William Clark, when attacked by a party of savages, March 12, 1676. IIe being himself absent at meeting escaped, while eleven others were massacred and his son tomahawked, who ever after wore a silver plate on his head from which he was called Silver-Head Tom. Numerous lineal descendants from Thomas Clark now reside at Eel river in this town, and in other parts of the Old Colony. There is a handsome China mug whose pedigree is traced through the Clark family back to Thomas Clark, which had been presented to the cabinet of the Pilgrim Society by Betsey B. Morton, a descendant, and also a leathern pocket book with the initials T. C. impressed on its cover, presented by Amasa Clark. These relics afford additional evidence that the mate of the Mayflower died in this town, and that his ashes rest in the grave in our burial place designated by a stone with the above in- scription."
There is a sign board at the side of this gravestone on which is the following in- scription :-
The grave of THOMAS CLARK | Died | March 24, 1697.

7. Here lyeth buried ye body | of that precious servant of | God, Mr THOMAS CUSHMAN, who, | after he had served his | generation according to | the will of God and | particularly the Church of | Plymouth for many years in | the office of a ruling Elder, | fell asleep in Jesus Decmr | ye roth 1691, and in ye | 84th year of his age.
Elder CUSHMAN came to Plymouth in the "Fortune," in 1621. He was brought up and educated in the family of Governor Bradford, and was always his intimate and confi- dential friend. He served the church of Plymouth as Ruling Elder nearly 43 years, having been chosen April 6, 1649. His gravestone is on the southerly brow of the Hill in a beautiful locality commanding a full view of the harbor of Plymouth as well as the town, the green hills in the distance, and of the "Meeting House," where, for over seventy years he had prayed and worshipped. This gravestone was erected by the church in 1715, twenty-five years after his death, and is a plain slab of mica slate, probably imported from England. It is in a good state of preservation, and the in- scription is still distinct and legible.
His wife was Mary, daughter of Isaac Allerton, who came over in the "Mayflower" the previous year.
Soon after his marriage he removed to "Rocky Nook" in Kingston, (then Plymouth). The locality of his house has often been visited by antiquarians and others interested in early Colonial matters. There is a famous spring of excellent water near his resi- cence, that has received the title of "Elder Spring," near the railroad on land now owned by Mr. Samuel P. Cole in Kingston.
At the grave of Elder Cushman is a signboard of recent date, directing the visitors to the grounds to the grave of one of the most noted of the old Pilgrims.
The grave of | Eld. THOMAS CUSHMAN | Died | Dec. 10, 1691.
CUSHMAN MONUMENT.
On the 15th of August, 1855, the descendants of the Cushman ancestors and their relatives, met together to Plymouth, in honor of their venerated ancestors, Robert Cushman, the right hand of the Plymouth forefathers, and Elder Thomas Cushman, his son, who for about forty-three years acceptably served the church of the Pilgrims as Ruling Elder. On the following day the persons assembled from almost every State in the Union, visited the grave of their ancestor, the Elder, and before parting resolved to erect an enduring monument over the remains of this venerable man. This object was subsequently consummated; and on the 16th of September, 1858, in commemoration of the sailing of the Mayflower from Plymouth, in England, for the new home in New England, the monument was consecrated with becoming exercises and ceremonies.
The Cushman monument stands in a conspicuous position within the ancient ceme- tery of the Plymouth fathers, upon Burying Hill, within sight of the hospitable har- bor where the Mayflower lay safely moored in the inclement winter of 1620; and also, of the far-famed solitary rock of that sandy shore whereon the forefathers first set foot on the memorable twenty-first of December, and almost beneath the drippings of the first Christian sanctuary in New England.
The monument is a massive and tasteful structure, built of smoothly hewn Quincy granite, of the finest and most durable quality, and is highly creditable to the skill and faithfulness of Messrs. C. R. & C. Mitchell, the contractors. Its form is that of an obelisk with plainly chamfered edges, having a Grecian base standing upon an orna- mented pedestal, also chamfered to its base, and containing sunken panels ; the pedes- tal rests upon two square plinths, and the whole structure upon blocks of hewn gran- ite occupying the whole space enclosed by a quadrangular fence, constructed with large stone posts and substantial iron rails. The whole height of the monument, in- cluding the stone blocks on which it stands, is about twenty-seven and one-half feet ; the base of the pedestal is about five feet square, and of the lowest plinth about eight feet. The space within the railing is about twelve feet square. The tablets, which contain the inscriptions in raised letters, occupy the four panels of the pedestal,

and measure about thirty-six by twenty-two inches. They are of metallic bronze, and were cast at the foundry of Messrs. Henry N. Hooper & Co., in Boston.
The following are the inscriptions on the tablets : -
