NAPOLEON.
(Napoleon, in Italy, wept at the sight of a faithful dog on the battlefield, moaning by the side of his lifeless master. See Las. Cases, Vol. 1. Part II.)
Strange compound of passion, and why didst thou weep, At the faith of a brute to his master, though dead ? Was it pity that mov'd thee, for thousands that sleep, Where thy cruel ambition has made their last bed ?

REV. SAMUEL DEANE.
Dost thou think of the nobles, whose generous birth,
And whose bearings of honor cast shades on thine own, But whose blood thou wouldst pour out to water the earth, And whose corses stride over to mount to a throne ?
Didst thou think of the widows and orphans, whose wail Strikes the clouds, and accusing + heaven may ascend ? Or that Justice, insulted, may 1 prevail, And send thee an exile from and friend ?
Was it prophecy boding that e'en thon should'st die, And thy foes rend the hood-sprinkled wreaths from thy brow ?
Or did shame wring the deep, scalding tear from thine eye, Even shame, that a dog was more noble than thou ?
Strange compound of passion, ambitions's fierce sway, All mingled with meanness and pity's soft fire, The world shall admire, but admiring shall pray, God send us no copy of that we admire.
SAMUEL DEANE.
Who among the thousands that refer to "Deane's History of Scituate," stop and think, "Who was this Rev. Samuel Deane to whom we owe so much ?" Perhaps the question may come into their minds, and they may turn to his book for informa- tion ; but it is a fruitless search, as he scarcely mentions him- self there. In vain has the author searched for a likeness of him, but apparently none now exists, if, in fact, he ever sat for one. The memoirs of John and Walter Deane, published at Boston in 1849 by Wm. Reed Deane, give a very elaborate account of Samuel Deane's ancestors and their families, but does not give any information of value later than his marriage. He is described as being an erect and handsome man, being nearly, if not quite, six feet tall, with a beardless face full of character. He was the authority for miles around on horses, and loved a good horse dearly. Seldom was he seen travelling except on horseback, and riding was his daily exercise. A niece of his, now living in Boston, has a trunk in almost a perfect state of preservation, made by Samuel Deane, and covered with the hide of one of his favorite horses.

The above is as complete as has been possible to compile in a limited time. That every lover of Deane may be able to form a better idea of the beautiful character of the man, the two following extracts are given. The first from an obituary, written by his friend, the Rev. Edmund Q. Sewall, for the Christian Register of Aug. 23,1834, Vol. XIV., No. 2.
" Died at Scituate, Mass., Aug. 9th, Rev. Samuel Deane, Pastor of the Second Congregational Society of that place. * *
* * * * * *
" His attempts at poetical composition were not numerous. He gave, however, to the world, on some public occasions, several pieces of much merit ; and in this paper and other periodical works, he has at different times allowed to appear a few specimens of his talent in this kind, which were replete with images of household tenderness and natural pathos, and a part of which discovered a capacity for powerful and graphic description, both of objects in the outward universe, and of action and passion among men. He had a satirical vein, which he indulged without malice. His fancy was often sportive in conversation, but always innocent in its play.
* *
" The last winter while subject to the pains whose fruit was his death, he applied himself with ardor to inquiries respecting the newly-developed science of phrenology, and gave the results of his inquiries in an ably written lecture. In the learning of his profession Mr. Deane was well furnished. In some departments his acquisitions were more than the common stock, and he continued to acquire. His taste for natural science was such as would have led him to much devotion in its pursuits had opportunity favored. He had at one time a carefully selected cabinet of minerals. He had acquainted himself with the books of Phillips, Cleaveland and others on this and kindred branches. For history he had a decided predilection and indulged it. There were not many who were better versed than he in the colonial history of Plymouth and Massachu- setts, among those whose associations have not led them more directly to make such subjects their study. His "History of Scituate " affords evi- dences of research and talent highly respectable.

"Mr. Deane never ceased to speak of Dr. Barnes as of one whom he could not enough honor. The tribute he has inserted in his "History of Scituate " to his aged colleague is a memorial of the virtues of both, in a relation not the most easy to sustain without fault. Mr. Deane had pro- posed, in the hope of recovering his health in some measure, to remove to the distant West. But God had appointed other issues. His purposes were broken up, his visions of hope deferred, dispelled forever, and his wearied spirit, with no more pilgrimage, bidden to its final goal. He met his last disappointment with Christian firmness, and prepared himself to die according to the will of God. His end was tranquil."

REV. SAMUEL DEANE.
The other extract is from the pen of the Rev. Wm. P. Tilden, from a letter, and from an address delivered by him in Scituate, Aug. 8, 1857, (or 1858.)
" Samuel Deane was settled here in Feb., 1810, the year before I was born, so that I have no distinct remembrance of his early life. I think of him only as he was in later years, when the gray hairs were upon his tem- ples, and ill-health had taken the freshness from his cheek. He was a man to be remembered for many qualities ; but my first impressions of him are more of his splendid singing in the pulpit than of his preaching. He was a dear lover of music. He had not only a delicate appreciation of it, but a rare capacity for making it. His voice was high and clear, with a peculiarly musical tone distinct from all other voices, yet blending happily with them, always alone, yet always in harmony. How his light gray eye would glisten, and his wide mouth open to pour out the high, liquid tenor when some favorite old tune kindled him. He had one peculiarity not easily forgotten, that of waiting till the choir had sung partly through the line, and then striking out at the beginning in bold, clear tones, catch up with the choir, and let his voice mingle sweetly with the closing notes. He was a man of genius, a man of thought, a man of many noble qual- ities ; but he was peculiar - his mind did not run in old ruts. He thought for himself, and spake his thoughts freely. He hated all shams, espec- ially in religion. Whittier's lines to John Randolph have seemed to me peculiarly applicable to him :
' Sworn foe of cant, he smote it down, With trenchant wit unsparing : And scoffing tore with ruthless hand, The robe pretense was wearing.'
" He had no patience with pretense. Even now can you not see the scornful curl of his lip at mention of what seemed to him like hypocrisy in religion or meanness in daily life? Indeed, he carried this so far as to do injustice to his deeper and better nature; for I have no doubt his strong repugnance to every species of pharisaism often led him to hold back what his heart prompted to utter, and left the impression that he was less truly religious than he really was at heart. His position on the Arminian side in the old controversy with Calvinism doubtless strengthened this natural tendency. Very likely he may have felt in after life that he had erred in not speaking more directly and freely with his people upon personal religion, for many of you remember what a change there was in the char- acter of his preaching during the last few years of his life, when the angel of sickness and sorrow came down to trouble the waters. Under the baptism of trial his soul seemed to gain fresh fervor, and earnestness, and inspiration. My most distinct remembrance of him is at this period. I remember particularly the sermon he preached after John's death, and after speaking of his boy's lingering illness, with trembling lip, and eyes suffused with tears, he repeated in broken utterance those touching lines of Gray :
' One morn I missed him on the 'customed hill, Along the heath, and near his favorite tree. Another came, nor yet beside the rill, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he.'
" I remember, too, as some of you doubtless do, of his telling in that sermon, that in speaking with John one day during his last sickness about the Lord's Supper and his observance of it, John said to him, 'Father, do you remember how on such a time I went into the gallery to remain there

THE CUSHINGS.
during the Communion Service?' 'I do, my son.' ' Well, father, I went there to commune with you in spirit.'
" He was a lovely boy ; his death was too much for the strieken father, whose frame was already shattered by repeated sicknesses. You remem- ber how often after this, his deep emotions would choke his utterance in his pulpit services. He failed rapidly, his old disease of the lungs, against which he had been struggling for years, prostrated him more and more. As he was walking one day with his dear friend, the Rev. E. Q. Sewall, he repeated as applicable to himself, those touching lines of Cowper :
' I was a stricken deer, hurt by the archers, And have left the herd.'
adding a beautiful line of Virgil, which speaks of the arrow quivering in the death-wound. He soon followed his boy. His memory is still green in many of our hearts, and I am glad, as one of the children of his flock, to drop this leaf upon his grave as a slight token of respect to his memory.'
The Cushings were among the early aristocracy of Scituate, and the following items relative to Judge Cushing's family are taken from some old newspapers. From the New England Weekly Journal :
"On Saturday last (Mon., Nov. 24, 1729) died here Mr. Nathaniel Cush- ing, Son of the Hon. Judge Cushing of Scituate, a Young Gentleman who had his Education at Harvard College, and has since been employ'd in the Secretary's Office, and several times as Clerk of His Majesty's Couneil for this Province : It is but about a Month past he entered into a married state, and it is supposed he was seized by Death the night of his Marriage, since which he languished till the time of his Death. An affecting Instance of the vanity of human life, even in the Bloom of Youth, and affluence of Worldly Prosperity."
From the Boston Post Boy and Advertiser, April 3, 1769 :
" We hear from Seituate that Wednesday morning died there after a long confinement Mrs. Mary Cushing, aged 59 years, the virtuous consort of the Hon. John Cushing, Esq. of that place."
From the Boston Evening Post, Sept, 16, 1771 :
" Married, Thomas Aylwyn, Esq., of this town, merchant, to Miss Lucy Cushing of Scituate, daughter of the Hon. John Cushing, Esq., a judge of the Superior Court."
And in a Boston paper of Dec. 12, 1885, there appeared the following :
" Chrissie Turner, a colored woman, who died on the 12th inst. in Bour- nedale,having arrived at the age of 100 years, was born a slave and lived for many years in the family of Judge Cushing in Scituate, being a part of the dowry of Mrs. Cushing at her marriage.'
Items relative to the Turner family, also among the early aristocracy of Scituate, are found as follows. From the Boston. Gazette and Country Journal, of Monday, August 31, 1761 :
332
TURNERS - WM. VASSALL.
" We hear from Scituate that on the 22nd instant died Mrs. Hannah Turner, widow of Col. Amos Turner, and mother of Col. Thomas Clapp of that Town, in the eightieth year of her Age: In every Station and Condi- tion of Life, much of the Virtues and Graces of the Christian were con- spieuous in her, as she lived desired, so she died lamented. She died in a good old Age, an old Woman, and full of Years, and we have Reason to hope she is now Partaker of the Rest that remaineth to the children of God in a better World."
In the Post of Nov. 29, 1773 :
" Married at Scituate, Mr. Wm. Turner to Miss Eunice Clap, daughter of Nathl. Clap, Esq."
Also in the Boston Evening Post, Feb. 7, 1774 :
" On the 22d of Dee. last was celebrated at Plimouth the anniversary of their ancestors' first landing in New England, on which occasion the Rev. Mr. Turner of Scituate deliver'd a discourse in the Rev. Mr. Robbins's Meeting House from Zach. IV. part of the 9th & 10th verses. After which a very suitable dinner was prepar'd at Mr. Howland's where a great num- ber of the people with five of the Clergy were genteely entertained and the day & evening very agreeably spent & to the honor of all present. Every countenance being expressive of gratitude & joy and every tongue exuberant in blessing the memory of their pious forefathers."
The following relative to William Vassall, after he left Scit- uate, is taken from a book entitled "The Vassalls of New Eng- land and their Immediate Descendants," by Harris, pp. 4 and 5 :
" William Vassall in 1646 sailed for England in the 'Supply' in aid of a petition for the redress of wrongs in the government, and never returned, but in 1648 returned to Barbadoes and there died in 1655, aged 65 years. His will is dated at Barbadoes, July 13, 1655. He bequeathed to his son John one third of all his estates, and the remainder to his daughters, Judith, Frances, Ann, Margaret and Mary. His son was appointed Executor, and in his absence Nicho- las Ware, who appointed, May 8, 1656, Capt. Joshua Hubbard of Hingham his attorney for the sale of the Scituate Estate, by virtue of two writings, one signed by Resolved White and James Adams, Feby. 18, 1656, and the other by Margaret and Mary Vassall, Mar. 3, 1655-6. The estate was conveyed by Joshua Hubbard to John Cushen and Mathyas Brigs for £120, and consisted of about 120 acres, with houses and barns. The deed was signed by Joshua Hubbard, Resolved White and Judith his wife, and James Adams, July 18, 1657."*

about a prominent man with a poor character, is here revived for the edification of the older people, viz. :
" Here lies the dull sleeper called * *
Who for thirty nine years has played off his jokes. Whose days of probation for marriage have past, And this is his last May ; yes the very last. In future his fate will be hard as a rock, He will lie snoring in bed till past ten o'clock. Without victuals to eat or a deary to cheer him, I solemnly hope no one will go near him ; A hater of man, an insulter of woman : Like a blasted old tree in the midst of a common. Crown his gates ye May nymphs with wormwood and myrtle More fragrant and fair than a salt water turtle."
Rev. Sam'l J. May was one of Scituate's strong abolitionists, he succeeded Mr. Deane at the Second church. A history of his life has been published in book form by the Unitarian Society.
There came from Scituate one man who appeared before the world a beautiful example of strength of character, and who died a martyr in his efforts to free the people, for whom so many lost their lives later. This was the Rev. Charles T. Torrey. He was born in a one story gambrel-roof house, located in Greenbush Village, on the first left hand corner northeast from the old Stockbridge place on the road that runs by the pond to the harbor. This house was occupied for many years by Calvin Jenkins. During Mr. Torrey's incarceration in Baltimore jail, after his conviction, and while awaiting sen- tence, in 1844, he wrote a book entitled " Home, or the Pil- grims' Faith Revived." It should be read by every resident or native of Scituate. In this volume he speaks of Scituate, or " Home," as he calls it, as follows :
" The first settlers were generally men of property. Many of them were scholars and accomplished gentlemen. They impressed on their children a love of learning and a refinement of manners that has never wholly disappeared, in the darkest periods of the annals of ' Home.' Sound in their religious faith, taught the value of a good hope towards God by the lessons of persecution, there was not perhaps for two generations a head of a family who did not belong to the church ; not a house in which the morning and evening sacrifice of prayer and thanksgiving was omitted. No law was ever needed to induce the people to sustain a sufficient number of excel- lent free schools, and for more than a century from the settlement, a

public grammar school supplied to all who desired it, the means of a more enlarged course of study. While the rigor of the early faith and piety remained, no town set a greater value on the higher branches of education. For a century and a half hardly a foreigner has entered 'Home.' The few who came were soon assimilated to the habits and feelings of a people born, living and dying on the same soil. I can remember twenty families in one section of the town which for seven, eight and nine generations have lived on the same spot ; no rare thing in the old countries but quite so in our new and ever moving land. No foreign sources of corruption therefore ever came in to make the sons unworthy to bear the names of their sires. If they have fallen the root of evil is from within."
A stone erected to the memory of Rev. Mr. Torrey, in the cemetery at Mt. Auburn, Mass., bears the following inscrip- tions :
" REV. CHARLES T. TORREY
Born at Scituate Nov. 21, 1813. Graduated at Yale College, Aug. 1833. Ordained at Providence, Mar., 1837. Arrested at Baltimore, June 24, 1844. Died in the Penitentiary of that City May 9, 1846."
" Charles Turner Torrey was arrested for aiding slaves to regain their liberty. For this humane act he was indicted as a criminal, convicted by the Baltimore City Court, and sentenced to the Peniten- tiary for six years. While on his death bed he was refused a par- don by the Government of Maryland, and died of consumption after two years confinement, a victim of his sufferings. It is better to die in prison with the peace of God in our breasts than to live in free- dom with a polluted conscience.
" Where now beneath his burthen The toiling slave is driven, Where now a tyrant's mockery Is offered up to heaven. There shall his praise be spoken, Redeemed from falsehood's ban' When the fetters shall be broken, And the slave shall be a man."
" The friends of the American Slaves erect this stone to his mem- ory as a Martyr for Liberty."
Drake in his history, page 659, relates the following : "Feb., 1761, the body of Maj. Gen'l Edward Whitmore was brought to Boston from Plymouth in the sch. 'Leopard,' Thomas Church, master. He was coming from Louisburg to Boston and fell overboard and was drowned." As Capt. Church was a Scituate

man, the vessel may have been a Hanover or Scituate vessel. Barry says, "During the great storm of April 16-17, 1851, the sea broke completely over the narrow strip of beach between the Third and Fourth Cliffs." Wrecks strewed the coast after that fearful storm. From the Boston News Letter the follow- ing is taken :
" On Friday Apr. 6th. 1711, Capt. Brown in a large sloop from Surra- nan was taken off Scituate two miles from the shore by two Placentia Privateer sloops, 32 men in each, no great guns. Brown and three of his men were put on shore, his mate and one of his men were sent away in the sloop."
In an early number of the New England Weekly Journal appears the following :
"On Wednesday night last (Aug. 28, 1728) at eleven o'clock, Capt. Joseph Anderson coming from Lisbon, bound to this place in a Brigantine ran on the rocks near Scituate, whereby the vessel is likely to be entirely lost and much of the cargo, tho' the lives of the men are sav'd after abun- dance of fatigue and difficulty."
Also the New England Weekly Journal, of a later date, gives the following account of another vessel as follows :
"In our last we gave an account that a large Ship had run ashore near Scituate : we have since been informed more fully of the same, and learn that the said Ship was commanded by Capt. Wellington, belonging to Bris- tol, and coming hither from Lisbon loaden with Salt, that on or about Friday the 10th Instant, (Oct., 1729) she ran aground on Marshfield Beach, and that after a while six of the Men got into the Boat to go on shore, but while they were near the Ship the Waves beat so violently, that the Boat filled with Water, and five of the said Men were drowned, and one held by the Boat and got again into the Ship, where were six more that remained on Board ; that soon after the Ship broke to pieces, and the Salt washing away, the part they were in lighten'd, and swung nearer the shore, by which means they all got safe to Land. The Vessel and cargo was entirely lost."
Representations of the earliest vessels were those built and used by the Egyptians. They were small vessels or galleys built with keels, ribs, and planking, without decks, but strength- ened crosswise by numerous benches on which the rowers sat. It is mentioned in early history as a noteworthy circumstance that when Cæsar invaded Britain, his vessels were so large they could not reach the shore, and his troops on disembarking, were breast high in the water. John J. Currier, in his very interesting Historical Sketch of Shipbuilding on the Merrimac River, published in 1877, states that " In Newburyport, where they had every facility for building and launching large vessels,
336
FIRST SHIPS BUILT IN AMERICA.
they did not build a vessel so large as 594 tons until 1836." Undoubtedly the first vessel of size sufficient to navigate the ocean launched from the shores of New England, was " a faire pinnace of thirty tons," called the " Virginia," which according to Strachey, was built by the Popham Colony at the mouth of the Kennebec, in 1607, thirteen years before the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, and which made a successful voyage across the Atlantic, the same year. Twenty-four years after this, on the fourth of July, 1631, Gov. Winthrop launched the " Blessing of the Bay," the first vessel built in this part of the State. This vessel was built on what has since been known as the "Ten Hills farm " at Medford on the Mystic River, and about fifty years ago the identical ways from which she was launched were still standing and in a fair state of preservation. She was built of locust timber cut up on the farm .* Capt. George Henry Preble, U. S. N., in an article entitled " Early Ship-building in Massachusetts," says, "The ship-carpenter, who came over to the Plymouth people in 1624, soon died, but not until he had built two shallops, one of which was employed in the Fall of the next year to carry a load of corn on a trading voyage to the Kennebec River. She had a little deck over her amid-ships to keep ye corne drie but ye men were faine to stand it out in all weathers without shelter.' The next year they 'tooke one of ye biggest of these shallops and sawed her in ye middle and so lengthened her some 5 or 6 foote and strengthened her timbers and so builte her up and laid a deck on her and so made her a conveniente and wholesome vessell very fitt and comfortable for their use which did them service 7 years after; and they gott her finished and fitted her with sayles and anchors ye ensuing year.' Such were the first vessels of the Pilgrims." Between the years 1678 and 1706, Scituate far exceeded any other New England town excepting Boston in the number of vessels built. This latter year she was equalled only by Newbury and Salem. The following is a partial list of vessels which were built in Scituate during early times. Many other vessels built here dur- ing these years can be found under the chapters on the different yards. In 1694, there was built the sloop " MAYFLOWER," 25 tons ; owners, the Captain, James Truworthy, Boston, John Warren, Thomas Dalton of the Island of Providence. 1694, slp. "KATHARINE," 25 tons, Capt. Samuel Hill ; owners, Samuel Heyman and Robert Knowles, Charlestown. 1694,
