They break out every generation or two in some learned labor which calls them up after they seem to have died out. At last some newer name takes their place, it may be, but you inquire a little and you find it is the blood of the Edwardses or the Chauncys or the Ellerys or some of the old historic scholars, disguised under the altered name of a female descendant.

She had left Lucina weeping on the bed in her little chamber; she had said nothing to her, nor her husband, but she had resolved upon her own course of action. "It is time something was done," said Abigail Merritt, nodding to herself in the glass as she tied on her bonnet, "and I am going to do it." When she reached the Edwardses' house, she stepped briskly up the path, bowing to Mrs.
"Of course there have been rumors, I believe, that all was not exactly like a honeymoon still with the Tracy Edwardses." "Yes," returned Waldon slowly, "I know myself that there has been some trouble, but nothing definite until I found this letter last night in my sister's room. She never said anything about it either to mother or myself.
There was not a properer man to look on in the county than John Edwards, and so, indeed, were all the Edwardses of South Hill." "Edwards! South Hill!" said the old soldier, in a languid voice, and fell back in the arms of the astonished Harley. He soon recovered, and folding his orphan grandchildren in his arms, cried, "My poor Jack, art thou gone "
And a sweet couple they were, sir; there was not a properer man to look on in the county than John Edwards, and so indeed were all the Edwardses." "What Edwardses?" cried the old soldier hastily. "The Edwardses of South-hill, and a worthy family they were." "South-hill!" said he, in a languid voice, and fell back into the arms of the astonished Harley.
The Edwardses have been always remarkable for this fondness for their relations. If you have the least inclination to prove yourself a true descendant of that respectable stock, you cannot fail of answering me very soon. I never asked for many connexions in this way; and was never neglected but once, and that by a Jersey gentleman, to whom I wrote and received no answer.
"He wa'n't." "Yes, he was. They both come from Westbrook, where I was born." "Now they can pay off the mortgage, and get Henry's eyes fixed." "Adoniram Judd ain't goin' to get all that money!" "I wouldn't sell ye his chance on 't for forty thousand dollars." During Jerome's absence at Simon Basset's, Squire Eben Merritt's wife came across lots to the Edwardses' house.
One morning in early May, when the wind was cold and the sun hot, and Jerome about twelve years old, he was in a favorite lurking-place of his, which nobody but himself knew. Three fields' width to the northward from the Edwardses' house was a great rock ledge; on the southern side of it was a famous warm hiding-place for a boy on a windy spring day.
No logic, and especially no logic based upon so obscure a foundation, shall ever be permitted to extinguish for us the light of facts, or convert the universal intelligence of man into a falsehood. Those who argue from foreknowledge in favour of necessity, usually admit that there is neither before nor after with God. This is emphatically the case with the Edwardses.
