SARAH BOARDMAN JUDSON. vers, Massachusetts, and thence to Salem, where she hegan todevelop those qualities of mind and heart which, at a laterperiod, shone conspicuously in her life. She came with regretfrom among beautiful groves, orchards filled with fruit-trees,and gently gliding streams, to a place where she found noth-ing hut houses and steeples, the poetical vein even thus earlymingling itself with her eminently solid and practical charac-ter. The eldest of a very large family of children, and herparents possessed of very limited pecuniary means, she wasmuch occupied in her girlhood with domestic toils; and yet,such was the ardor of her desire for intellectual improvement,that we find her early engaged in studies beyond her years andcircumstances. Among those to which allusions are found inher writings of that period were Butlers Analogy and PaleysEvidences, Campbells Philosophy of Rhetoric
