This peculiarity of settlement meant much in days where there was no newspaper, no system of public transportation, no regular post, and Europe was months removed.

nglish stock and with the earnest ideals of pioneers, soon brought the community into good repute, and its subsequent life was as respectable and uneventful as that of a reformed _roué_. In fact there is practically no more history for Weymouth. There are certainly no more raids upon merry-makers; no more calls from the cricket colony which had sung all summer on the banks of the river to the ant colony which had providently toiled on the shore of the bay; no more experimental governments; no more scandal. The men and women of the next five generations were a poor, hard-working race, rising early and toiling late. The men worked in the fields, tending the flocks, planting and gathering the harvest. The women worked in the houses, in the dairies and kitchens, at the spinning-wheel and washtub. The privations and loneliness, which are part of every struggling colony, were augmented here, where the houses did not cluster about the church and burial ground, but were scattered and far away.  FOLD THESE SETTLERS OF GOOD ENGLISH STOCK AND WITH EARNEST IDEALS OF PIONEERS SOON BROUGHT THE COMMUNITY INTO GOOD REPUTE AND ITS SUBSEQUENT LIFE WAS AS RESPECTABLE AND UNEVENTFUL AS THAT OF A REFORMED RUE IN FACT THERE IS PRACTICALLY NO MORE HISTORY FOR WEYMOUTH THERE ARE CERTAINLY NO MORE RAIDS UPON MERRYMAKERS NO MORE CALLS FROM THE CRICKET COLONY WHICH HAD SUNG ALL SUMMER ON THE BANKS OF THE RIVER TO THE ANT COLONY WHICH HAD PROVIDENTLY TOILED ON THE SHORE OF THE BAY NO MORE EXPERIMENTAL GOVERNMENTS NO MORE SCANDAL THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE NEXT FIVE GENERATIONS WERE A POOR HARD WORKING RACE RISING EARLY AND TOILING LATE THE MEN WORKED IN THE FIELDS TENDING THE FLOCKS PLANTING AND GATHERING THE HARVEST THE WOMEN WORKED IN THE HOUSES IN THE DAIRIES AND KITCHENS AT THE SPINNING WHEEL AND WASH TUB THE PRIVATIONS AND LONELINESS WHICH ARE PART OF EVERY STRUGGLING COLONY WERE AUGMENTED HERE WHERE THE HOUSES DID NOT CLUSTER ABOUT THE CHURCH IN BURIAL GROUND BUT WERE SCATTERED AND FAR AWAY
