And by nightfall the missionary family were domiciled in the frontier cabin; and the next morning you would have thought the missionary's wife already quite 'westernized, with her neat calico and tidy apron, busy in her preparations for the house-raising. "I don't mean to stay in a borrowed house a great while," she said.
Charles F. Browne, whose drollery wafted his pseudonym as far as the English speech could carry laughter, was a Westernized Yankee. He added an Ohio way of talking to the Maine way of thinking, and he so became a literary product of a rarer and stranger sort than our literature had otherwise known.

A jolly mayor was he, a Yankee melted down into a Western man, thoroughly Westernized by a rough-and-tumble life in Kentucky during many years. Being obliged to hold a mayor's court every day, and knowing very little of law, his chief study was, as he expressed it, "how to choke off the Kentucky lawyers." Mr.
