Built for posterity, the voices of childrens children still reecho through these ancestral halls. These old Portsmouth houses the Ladd house, built In 17C0; Pierce house, 1799; Cerrlsh house, 1800; Gov. John Wentworth house, 1709, and Gov. Langdon house, 1781, are Interesting examples of the town houses of that period. And what of the occupants? To Gov. Langdon fell the pleasant duty of Informing George Washington of his election 03 first president. Gov. Langdon, being the first president of the United States senate, was aating president, there being neither president nor vice president. This speech of Gov. Langdon, made while he was speaker of the New Hampshire house of representatives, gives us an Insight Into what patriotism meant at that time. It Is also Interesting as showing the financial status cf a governor in those days. They were trying to raise troops and money to aid in checking Burgojnes progress. He said; "I have $l,0fl0 In hard money; will pledge my plate for $3,000 more; I have seventy hogsheads of rum which will be sold for the most they will bring. . They are at the service of the state. , The Langdon house was the scene of many royal banquets, Louis Philippe, President Monroe and President Washington being frequent guests. Nor was it alone In the town hoiwe that our patriotic friends were entertained. The picturesque rambling Gov. Bennlng Wentworth house, built In 1750, sheltered many a noble head.

Hardly hud the words been uttered when the portiere was drawn aside and a girlish figure appeared. Her eyes were Illumined with love, and a smile of sweet content played around the corners of her rosy lips. If any cares disturbed the quietude of her existence, her husband never discerned them. "Why, little woman, how bright you look! Dont 1 always look radiant when my l;rd and master deigns to bestow the light of his countenance on his handmaid? "Hello! what have you been reading?

"How can you be so foolish, sir? Must I again impress upon your mind that love has piercing eyes? Foolish boy! Intuition told me that our present path was not as smooth as it might be; they say only two things trouble a man, love and the want of money. I was vain enough to think the former was not the cause, therefore, I came to the conclusion it must be the latter, but I had an abiding laith that all such troubles would square themselves in the end. "About as easy as squaring a circle!" answered Charlie. Thought I would not bother you, but do the best I could. You may laugh, sir, but I had a small mountain on my mind, lying awake at night devising means to make a joint last as long as possible puzzling my brain to turn it into all sorts of strange dishes to cover its identity. You may have a light heart, dear, I have not run into debt over housekeeping expenses. The butcher, the baker, and all the tribe that supply our wants, have been paid. But I had come to the end of my resources until well, never mind! I will tell you that in its right place.

At last, I think I may say, the tide has turned. Harry T vine, an old chum of mine, at Yale, came into the studio this morning with a friend of his. He was looking for pictures to adorn the walls of his newly furnished house. My dear, he Is wise in his generation, as he said he would rather pay a fair price for American works of art, which he knew at leabt were genuine, than to Invest a fabulous sum in works of old masters which were, perhaps, spurious. He purchased two landscapes, giving me a generous check for them. "Oh, Charlie! I am so glad. I knew your work deserved a good price. 1 only wish I had had the naming of the figure; It would show how much I admire your painting. I am infinitely more pleased than if I were hailed as the rising star in the literary firmament. You are the sun, and I feel glorified in reflecting some of the beams by being your loving wife.

Like all lovers of art, by my pictures not being unmercifully skied in the salon, I imagined the stream of Pactolus would flow our way, with naught but gentle ripples. In my arrogance, or let me modify the expression, by saying, for the love of mine art, I would not condescend to paint for grasping dealers; therefore I found myself in a state of collapse; Inspiration seemed to leave me; even my historical painting, which I still hope may bang in the academy, was at a standstill. I was too extravagant in furnishing our bridal nest and my atelier. I do like to have around me pretty iLia-ss- . It is conducive to bigiier work. But thank the powers, I paid ready cash for everything; it was a good thing for us, as 1 was enabled to raise the needful, though at a ruinous rate of interest I must confess. What seemed such hard luck was to have a lot of good material on hand, and vanity apart, I felt it to be above the mediocre, which represented solid cash, but could find no market for my wares.

On one occasion Billy Duff, granduncle of the Duke of Fife, finding himself kept too long by the wallers, drew out a dueling pistol and shot the clock. Gen. Bolivar, the lib- erator of Venezuela, lived at Lim- mers during his exile. Formerly a secret underground passage ran from the house into Bond street, through which needy youngsters were accustomed to escape from the bailiffs. A favorite pastime with certain patrons during early Victorian days was the notes on the betting of thousand-pounturn of a card. The floors were kept sanded in memory of one night upon which Lord Waterford, declaring the apartment too warm, coolly shoveled the blazing coals from the fireplace over the costly Brussels carpet and almost set fire to the house.
