Nancy Brackett was up minding her child wan night. This is only about three months ago. This night she got up about 1 o'clock. she thought 'twas morning twas so bright. She heard a great congregation passing outside, and she thought 'twas the people coming from Mass. But when she looked at the clock she saw 'twas only 1 o'clock.
