The Bellozvs Falls his ancestry gave the title to furnish a curious and apt suggestion of the pure, rapid, and wholesome stream in their de- scendant's career, beneficent as the flood, clear as the light, and open as the day. . . . His remains were taken to Walpole in New Hampshire, the home of his ancestors, and ...his own summer home, * and lay there over night in his familiar study, with watchers of his friends and kin in the next room.
