We must believe that one or both of them did so. The family certainly did enierge there- frop. Tlie dubious may smile at the temerity with which we srate this pedigree probability, but let us bear in mind the historian Livy: If this position be admitted, we trust to receive some indulgence when compelled to resort to conjecture or circiunstantlal evidence.

Ere the latter had ended, the Bliss family had firmly established itself at Daventry, Northants, tweKe miles from Wootton. There, in and around Daventry, during less warlike times, it continued in unprecedented prosperity for over four hundred years, till Around Daventry our story will soon center itself, and thereabouts it will end, with but two diversions therefrom.

Each of these unmarried men lived and died as priests loya! Their two wills sound a sincere note. Their intellectual inability to assimilate the great truths of the New Testament is also evident.
They were clergymen; hov; much less did the communi- cants understand? It does not matter now, whether they knelt to piay before an image of the Saviour or a Saint, or, on the very threshold of the Unseen, they bent their heads and their hearts were humbled. The picture of the religious practices of the four- teenth and fifteenth centuries is a painful one to stud -. It is with feelings of trembling indignation and of pity for the ecclesiastical blindness that the modern Christian reads the facts in any good history of England. One prefers to leave the facts alone as being "old unhappy far-off things and battles long ago," and to feel with the philocophcr that "happy is the couiitiy that has no history.
It bequeathed to us the noble, grand cathedrals — "the pious work of names once famed, now dubious or forgot. Our Bliss ancestors have made them so. The aim of Wyclif, "to take man out of the hands of the priest, and to place his religion in his personal responsibility, intelligence, and right feeling," cjuickly obtained great honor amid the people of the INIidlands of England. It was even one hundred and fifty years later before public opinion forced the printing of the Bible in tlie English language, for general distribu- tion.

The world might be round, or it nvight be flat; it did not matter to tliem. Davcntry is a parish and an incorporated borough, situate upon the top and westward slope of a long, low hill. The altitude of the village is over feet above sea level, rising to feet in the surrounding hills. The district forms the highest land in the County of Northampton and the highest generally between the eastern seaboard and the West of England. The town comprises acres, had 25S2 people in ISOl, in , and over in There are three principal streets, named High, Sheaf, and Lichneld, and a market phce in the form of an irregular triangle.
The land and houses are chiefly owned by three landlords, one of vvhom is tlie lord of the manor. Davcntry is commercial and altogether modern in aspect. It is picturesque in nothing. The cutlyirg hills alone hold one's aesthetic vision. Grovra too large to have sufTercd the dreamy contin.

Morton, "about 2S0 yards on the soutlieast side of the same hill, is a lesser camp, if I may so call it, surrounded by a single trench and a bank of earth on the inside of it. The area is supposed to be about an acre, the figure an oblong square. The entrances into it appear to have been on the cast, and anoth. The use of it perhaps was for lodging carriages.
On the south side of the Borough-hill, at the foot of it, almost a quarter of a mile below the rampire, is that place, by tlie country people called Burnt Walls, where many loads of stone, of ruined walls and founda- tions, have been digged up. It takes up about six acres of ground, seems to have been moated round, and perhaps had water conveyed to it from the old pools at no great distance in that part called Daintry Park.
And that after the final evacuation of this island by the Romans, in the fifth century, the importance of Borough-hill as a military post could not be overlooked, and it muit have been occupied by the Saxons and probably by the Danes, and consequently under- gone many changes and modificati'.

The record of him is that of his appear- ance before the manoiial court. The lord of the manor then was King Henry YH. Daventry was then a parcel of the Duchy of Lan- caster, which duchy was and still is the property of the occupant of the throne. This manor first became a part of the duchy in S when it came, by marriage, to the well-known John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, the fourth son of Edward HI.
During the latter part of the time there was an intermediary lord wlio held a "blanket" lease from the throne, and who then, in turn, leased or rented to the actual occupanls. This scheme raised the rents to the tenants and made the intermediary lord more of a "gentleman" than ever. This system contrasts so unfavorably v.

Such as he were thousands of the early emigrants to America, and emigrant thousands more had but little greater wealth other than virile manhood and determined womanhood.

He was first a merchant and miller, and later a successful mercer, finishing and dealing in woolen cloth, which he purchased from the weavers who wove on hand looms in their cottage homes.

Lords of manors were very prone, in those days, to levy various exactions, or penalties, upon their tenanc- subjects upon the slightest of pretexts.
