"He was a man of medium stature, rather corpulent, his complexion
sallow, the top of his head nearly bald, there being a slight
sprinkling of hair between the forehead and crown. His voice, though
not loud, was clear and pleasant, and in animated conversation and in
the pulpit pitched upon the tenor key.

great affection. She was a religious woman, and on her death-bed
manifested great solicitude for her sons, especially dedicating the
oldest, Charles, to the Christian ministry. This expression of feeling
was almost the only recollection which Mr. Haddock had of his mother.
"The place of his birth was retired, but full of rural beauty; the
rushing Merrimac-making sweet music of a summer evening, the broad
intervals basking in the summer sun, the granite mountains 'dumbly
keeping watch all round,' from whose summits, looking almost to the
White Hills on one side, and almost to the sea on the other, you woul
