ever knew
him. Out
of the
vague of
that
far-off
time
another
face and
figure,as
essentially
New
En&land as
this,and

themselves.Charles
F.Browne,whose
drollery
wafted his
pseudonym
as far as
the
English
speech
could
carry
laughter,was
a
Westernized
Yankee. He
added an
Ohio way
of talking
to the
Maine way
of
thinking,and
he so
became a
literary
product of
a rarer
and
stranger
sort than
our
literature
had
otherwise
