THE JOURNAL

LORENZO DOW,

Chapter I

mr CHILDBOOD.

I WAS bom, October 16, 1777, in Coventry, Tolland County, State of Connecticut. My parents were bom in the same town and descended from English ancestors. They had a son, and then three daughteiv, older than nnyself, and one daughter younger. They were very tender towards their children, and endeavored to cKlucate them well, both in religion and oommon learning.

When I was two years old, I was taken sick ; and my parents having been a long journey and returning homeward, heard of my dangerous illness, and that I was dead, and they expected to meet the people re« turning from my funeral. But to their joy, I was living ; and beyond the expectation of all, I recovered.

Wl^n I was between three and four vears old, one day, while 1 was at play with my companion, J suddenly fell into a muse about God and those places called heaven and hell, which I heard people converse about, so that I forgot my play, which my companion observing, desired to know the cause. I asked him if ever he saki his prayers, morning or night ; to which he replied, " No." Then said I, " You are wicked, and I will not play with you." So I quit his company and went into the house.

My mindf frequently on observing the works of creation, desired to know the cause of things ; and I asked my parents many questions which they scarcely knew how to answer.

Being ibr a few weeks in another oeighborhood, I associated with one who would \xAh swear and lie, which proved some harm to me. But thrse serious impressions did not leave me until in my eighth year, whm my parents removed to another vicinity, the youth of which were very corrupt ; and on joining their company, I too soon learned their ways, grirvrd the tender feelings of my mind, and began to promise myself felicity when I should arrive to manhood.

One day I was the means of killing a bird, and upon seeing it gasp, I was struck with horror. And upon seeing any beast struggle in death it made my heart beat hard, as it would cause the thoughts of my death to come into my mind. Death appeared such a terror to me, I sometimes wished
