Excerpt from The Last Penacook: A Tale of Provincial Times The cabin itself seemed made mostly of drift wood and poles, and yet was devoid wholly of the appearance of squalor and degradation, usually observable around places of poverty and want. The inmates of this humble dwelling were a man about thirty years old, and his wife, somewhat younger, and one Child, a feeble, puny little boy four or five years of age, who required the most assiduous care to keep alive in his feeble frame the ¿ickering ¿ame of life. The father was a mild-tempered man, tall, Slender, and slightly round-shouldered. His light hair and rather fair complexion gave him almost a youthful look. The light of his clear blue eye showed that he was not of that hopeless, Shiftless, worthless class known as poor whites Of a later genera tion, and the wonder would arise at once, Why was he content to dwell in this forlorn and deso late place?
