Excerpt from Home Life: Or a Peep Across the Threshold

Why we wrote it, is more dificnlt to tell. Many things urged us on. To gratify the perhaps too partial love of one no more on earth first prompted us to try if we could write a story, picture upon paper some of the incidents we had gathered up in our brief pilgrimage. Afterwards we wrote, partly because we learned to love the habit, and partly from an earnest h0pe that thus we might give back to the literary world a little of the pleas ure and the profit it had and was still giving us, and furnish to those who will not read a moral unless it is draped in pleasant fiction, a few of the many that centre on the hearthstone, and thence diverge through every scene of life to brighten and to bless.
