He heard the long discussions over the feasibility of building a bridge over the Connecticut, when the old men shook their heads and said: 'You might as well try to bridge the Atlantic ocean !' He sighs over the change from the six-horse coaches rolling in from Albany and Boston, discharging their loads of gentles and ladies in wigs and ruffles and buckles, to the automobiles of today, whizzing by with their occupants so disguised in goggles, linen dusters and rubber suits that he sometimes won...ders what those creatures are ! He has gazed calmly down on all sorts of doings on Court square, from the whipping-post of early days to the popcorn venders of the last band concert. He guarded the body of John Quincy Adams, lying in state in the church below him; he listened to the silvery notes of Jenny Lind in the same church. He saw Charles Dickens sail down our river. Not only could he tell tales of our own fair city, but he is a traveled rooster, having crossed the water from his home in England in company with two others who have kept the faith on the Old South in Boston and the First church in Newburyport.
