In 1849, at the conclusion of the Centennial celebration observances in the Church, a large concourse of citizens and strangers enjoyed a sumptuous banquet prepared for the occasion at the hotel of Thomas T. Parsons, Esq., in East-Hampton. The following are some of the toasts then offered :


1st. Our Fathers : they united faith and works. Cromwell said, "Trust in God and keep your powder dry."


2d. Our Mothers : let their daughters honor their memory by imitating their virtues.


3d. 1649 : a year memorable for the settlement of the Town of East- Hampton.


4th. 1749: the completion of our first century-uncelebrated but not the less to be remembered.


5th. 1849 : not unhonored in the calendar of the centuries.


6th. James, Huntting and Buell, the three successive semi-centenarian pastors of this town. Their works survive them.


7th. The Old Town Patents : the Palladium of our rights.


8th. The Patentees of the Town of East-Hampton of 1666 and 1686 : honor to their memory.


9th. The Old Church : venerable for its age, hallowed in its influence, it has withstood the storms of one hundred and thirty-two years.


10th. Clinton Academy : may her children continue to rise up and call her blessed.


11th. The Old Town Clock : one hundred and fifteen years old ; may it run a hundred and fifteen more.


12th. Wyandanch, Sachem of Montauk, 1658: the friend of the white man.


13th. The Ladies of East-Hampton : as the garlands their hands have woven adorn our venerable church, so do their graces embellish the household virtues they inherit.


VOLUNTEER TOASTS.


"The manners of our forefathers, the expression of nature : may they continue forever the manners of their descendents."


"The medical profession of East-Hampton," (impromptu by another) "sure death to all diseases."


"The people of East-Hampton : they have Hands for useful labor, Par- sons for guides, and Hedges for defence."


"The men of the past : 'there were giants in those days.'"


"The men of the future : nature has not yet exhausted her list of great names."


"The men of the present generation : their character moulded by the men of the past, must itself mould that of the men of the future."


"Our kindred in the Old World : we recognize John Bull as our father ; the dwellers on the banks of the Seine as our brother Republicans ; and the dwellers on the banks of the Rhine as our 'cousin German.'


"Drink ye to her that each loves best : And if ye nurse a flame


That's known but to her mutual breast,


We will not ask her name."-Campbell.


239


Modern Witches :


"Our witches are no longer old And wrinkled beldams satan sold, But young, and gay, and laughing creatures, With the heart's sunshine in their features."- Whittier.


"The orator of the day : may he witness many returns of the centennial


. anniversary of the settlement of the town ! 'May he live a thous- and years ! May his shadow never grow less.'"


At the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the settlement of the Town, in 1849, the following odes, composed by Miss Cornelia Hunting- ton, were sung. It had been intended to have the celebration on Christmas day, and the unavoidable postponement to the next day af. forded insufficient time to substitute others.


ODE.


Come ye who have gone forth from this fair isle, To win friends, fortune, fame-in other climes- Back to your early haunts and homes awhile, Unroll with us, the records of old times; Call to the fresh young hours now fleeting fast, "Ho! hurrying train-what of the dim old past?"


What of the dim old past? Why seek to stay The rushing present, with such bootless quest? Ask the grey grave-stones crumbling in decay, Who sleep beneath, in deep and dreamless rest? Ask tireless ocean, booming on the shore, Who trod those wave-washed sands in days of yore?


Who trod those wave-washed sands? high hearts of old ! Strong men of giant minds, and stalwart mould, By goading wrongs to daring deeds impelled, Patient of toil-in danger calm and bold- Wise, wary, watchful, weighing all things well, Men whose stern will oppression could not quell.


Neath these grey stones, who sleep in dreamless rest? Men faithful-fervent-eloquent-sincere- Dauntless to do their Master's high behest, James-Huntting-Buell-household words and dear, Names loved and lisp'd in childhood's earnest tones- Names breathed in prayer from altars and hearth-stones.


And one more dear ye mourn-one who but now. Call'd in the dewy dawn of manhood's pride, With glory beaming on his fair young brow, Went calmly down to slumber by their side, Teaching in life, and breathing from his dust "'Jehovah Jired ! peace -- be still -- and trust."

240


ODE.


Hush ! hush ! the year is dying- Hark ! through old forests dim- The wailing winds are sighing Their requiem over him- In quiet deep and holy, He sinks to his repose, And languidly and slowly, His weary eyelids close.


Now come with tearful sadness, The parting year review, While others hail with gladness, The advent of the new. In glad young hearts are welling Fresh fountains of delight, In many a festive dwelling The Christmas fires are bright.


And stricken ones are weeping Beside the darkened hearth, O'er loved and lost ones sleeping, Low in the tranquil earth- Strange-strange, what bitter blighting- What deeds to startle thought- Wild, wonderful, exciting, One short, sad year hath wrought.


While we stir the dust of ages, Time's dreamy realms explore- Spell out from mould'ring pages, Their quaintly written lore- 'T were well to bind this lesson, For profit, on the heart, "Men only live to hasten Like shadows to depart.


See shining o'er life's billow That star, whose guiding ray, Stood where on hallowed pillow, The Babe of Bethlehem lay ! And still those rays illuming, Low porch and fretted dome- Proclaim thy glorious coming Salvator Hominum !


241


FACETIA.


It would be a mistake to credit East-Hampton with little wit. Few villages would surpass it, in condensed epigram, quaint humor, and sparkling repartee. Some anecdotes of Dr. Buell have been noticed. The following, it is believed, was never printed :


In crossing from Gardiner's Island to the Fire Place, a severe gale endangered the safety of the Dr. and his grandson, when the Doctor oxpressed great alarm for his life. After landing, the former said to the latter, "Why should you be so much afraid of drowning? If you died you would go right to heaven." "I know it," he answered, "but I don't wont to go to heaven by water."


Tradition attributes to Huntting Miller the saying "Nobody was ever married, but somebody was mad, ' and "Nobody ever died, but some- body was glad."


When Jeremiah Dayton, driving stage, offered to give Sam Parsons a ride homeward, Sam replied, "I can't stop. I'm in a hurry."


When some one wondered how Bob Hedges got the credit of keeping the stillest school in the County, Bob said, "I had but one scholar, and he was asleep."


When East-Hampton was rocked as in a sea over the question "shall an exhibition be held in Clinton Academy?" it was decided against the ominous forebodings of the old, that it be held. On the early morning of the next day, tradition tells of a terrific hurricane, that blew off the roofs from houses, broke off gigantic limbs, overthrew majestic trees, drove the waves of mighty ocean into Hook Pond, and joined it with Town Pond. Looking from her window on the wide desolation, and the raging storm, an old maiden lady said, "This is some of that plaguey 'Cademy work."


The Inspectors of Election in early times, sat to receive votes in the villages, and for that purpose were at Wainscott, when Abraham Par- sons, Esq., one of the board, enquired after a missing beast, describing age, color and mark, when John Strong, an old Revolutionary soldier, said, "Yes, I know such a critter; Continental has got him." "Who is he !" said the Esquire. Strong replied, "Elisha Osborn." "Why do you call him Continental?" was asked, and was answered, "Because he is just like Continental money ; he is good for nothing." There were two Elisha Osborns, one of whom in the Revolution fled to Connecticut (the continent), and to distinguish them was called "Continental." He was a worthy man, and brother-in-law to John Strong.


East-Hampton was a world in miniature. Her citizens had troubles, real or imaginary. The old lady to whom one said, "I suppose you have no troubles," replied, "Yes, I do. In spite of me, the black hen will set on the white hen's nest."


It was a bitter cold night, when Dr. Geo. L. Huntington found Sam. Parsons in the street overcome with liquor, and took him in his car- riage to Sam's front gate, pointing him to the door and in a fair way to reach it. As the Doctor was leaving, Sam says, "Doctor stop." The Doctor says, "What is it?" Sam, just able to articulate, says, "Doctor, do you think you are sober enough to get home without my help ?" Poor Sam! With ability to attain eminence, one weakness made him a wreck.


Mrs. Helen Stratton relates this of Abel Huntington, when in Con- gress. Having occasion to visit the room of a member from Connecti- cut, who had therefrom a barrel of apples, (none of which he had given


242


to his fellow members) he saw a large one on the table. He cut off the top, scooped out all the inner part, inserting in the hole this squib : "In Adam's fall we sinned all."-Old Primer.


Full well I know that thou did'st grapple, Oh, Mother Eve, the fatal apple. As thou didst, so thy children feel, A strange propensity to steal, When good things tempt the sensual ese,


Though but to taste is soon to die.


Thou mightst have played more cautious game,


And 'scaped both penalty and shame,


For hadst thou like a Yankee sly,


Scooped out the substance at the eye, And left the outside fair and slick, None e'er had guessed who did the trick."


The owner of the apple, the next day, opened the door of the Doctor's room and threw the scooped apple at his room mate, not dreaming that the Doctor was from the State of Connecticut and the guilty one.


In the memories of my youth, the robust form of chorister Joe Dimon often rises up. I hear his pitch pipe, remember how he called "Wind- ham," and sung the fearful lines commencing :


"Broad is the road that leads to death, And thousands walk together there, But wisdom shows a narrow path, With here and there a traveller."


It seemed then, and seems now, as if the theological sieve of Dr. Watts was exceeding fine, yet not much more so than that of the old egotist who said, "There are but two men in East-Hampton who will not lie; I am one, and Dr. Buell is the other; and Dr. Buell will equivocate."
