Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Hingham Agricultural and Horticultural Society: From October, 1858, to March, 1861 We have excellent specimens of the useful and the beautiful in the fine arts, of great industry, of practiced skill, not the growth of one or a very few years. Cultivators, mechanics, and artists of a day never produce such specimens. But why, Mr. President, are the clergy honored with a sentiment What have they done for this Fair? Mr. Richardson said, he thought he felt very much as did the good matron, who sent some singular articles for exhibition at a County Fair in New Hampshire. Her neighbors had their rich farms and dairies, and herds and flocks, 'and elegant specimens in every form of beautiful needle-work, and fine fabrics for garments of all descriptions. The poor woman had no such things, and nothing to induce her to go where every-body would excel her, proudly bearing away the high premiums and gratuities, and cheered with loud plaudits. But necessity, and sometimes poverty, is the mother of invention. The thought occurred, that she had some old garments that she could nicely. Mend and send to the Fair. The articles were received, admired, praised, and rewarded with a generous gratuity. We of the clerical profession, said Mr. Richardson, I suppose have little or nothing here to exhibit, unless there are some specimens of manhood and womanhood we have labored and used our best ingenuity to mend and improve.
