OF the style in which our fathers lived, torn

present time. Last year went Gov. Hutch
inson's house--the same which was partly
destroyed by mob in l765; and the house
OF Sir Henry Franklin. Both these hous.
es stood near North Square, which. Mt
that time they were built, was the flash
place of the city. During the past week
the demolition Of Gardiner Greene's house
has been completed, as has also that Of the
old Waldo house, which stood next il.
Gardiner Green's house was built, we
believe, some time before the revolution,
by MIR. VasseIl, and occupied by him IN.
til Boston was evacuated by the British
troops, at which time went off with the
Halifax. The house then became confis.
Gated unto the State, by who ii was sold
after the peace Of SO to Madam lHaylcy,
sister of the celebrated John W likes.
This lady's love OF liberty, and her adn.i.
miration of those who dared to struggle
with the British Lion, induced hor 10 leave
England and come to this country. While

day were before acquainted, After her The
house was occupied by Patrick Jeffreys,
Esq, uncle of the present Judge Joilreys.

descendants II passed into the hands Of

We wish that some one fond Of explor.

WEBSTER'S SPEECHES.

A new and elegant edition of the politi.
cal and forensic speeches, and public ad
dresses Of Mr. Webster. has recently been
published in Boston, in two volumes, by
Messrs, Perkins, Marvin & Co. OF these
speeches and addresses, the Boston Cen
tinel justly remarks:
They arc finished models Of the clio
quence Of the Bar, ofthe Senate and the
Forum, and wonld not suffer in compari-
son with the most admired ora,ions Of an
cient or modern times. They may be
read for instruction by The statesman, and
with pleasure by the scholar and man Of
taste, while the student in rhetoric will
find in them perfect models Of their kind,
and never failing fountains for improve
ment, in what the ancents call the DIVINE
ART. They combine the fervid strength
OF Demosthenes, with The classical ele-
gapce Of Cicero; and while they expound
our Constitution and illustrate our free
institutions. they will tend 10 elevate the
standard Of native talent in the estimation
Of foreigners. No American can read
these volumes without feeling just pride
in being able 10 call DAErEL WEBSTER
bis fellow citizen. They deserve place
in every library. both public and private

MORNING DEsTRoYED.--The researches OF
chemists have shown that what the vulgar call
corruption, SC. is nothing but change OF ar
rangement of the same ingredient elements, the
disposition of the same materials INTO other forms
without the loss or actual destruction Of a single
atom; and thus any doubts Of the pernianence Of
natural laws are discountenanced, and the whole
weight of appearances thrown into the opposite
scale One OF the obvious cases OF apparent des.
truction is when any thing is ground TO dust, and
scattered to the winds. But il is one thing to
grind fabric to powder, and another 10 annihi-
late lis materials scattered as they may be,
they must fall somewhere, and continue, If only

A TRUE STonY.-There lived some years
ago in the town of---Conuecticut a man who
vas much addicted to the practice Of converting
his neighbours property TO his own use and bene-
fit without If or and. The clergyman Of the
town suspecting him Of making TOO free with his
hay, had one night concealed himself in his barn
with a dark lantern. The thief soon appeared
and tying up large bundle had Just left the pre-
misses, when the reverend owner, instead Of say
ing You scoundrel you what do you mean by
stealing my hay applied the candle TO the com
bustible load. The bundle was soon in a light
blaze and the uniucky fellow, suspected he was
pursued by some persons with light, laid his
feet TO the ground with uncommon agility. But
il was in vain 10 escape the pursuing figure The
blaze increasing brighter he seemed TO his ter
rified imagination to come nearer, ill vcnturing
TO look around to discover the extent Of his dan
ger, perceived 70 his establishment that the sto-
len hay was ON fire. How ID came so puzzled
him not a little. But as conscious guilt assisted
his natural credulity, he settled down upon
the conclusion that the fire was sent down from
Heaven to admonish him of his transgression. -
Full of this alarming notion, he gave him no rest
until he had gone 10 the parson and made con-
fession of his crime and terrible warning from
Heaven. The Rev. gentleman hundred his Gre
dulity under the idea that he might reform his
life. He was not mistaken. for the blazing hay
had made so deep an impression on the fellows
mind, that from thenceforth he forsook his evil
course, became valuable member of society, &
was united 10 the fcek Of the judcious clergy
man, who had assisted so materially in his ref
ormation. He finally died an honest man, in
the firm belief Of the intcsposition Of Providence
in setting fire TO the stolen hay. The parson
kept the secret till the poor man was laid IN the
dust, but even the clerical tongue could no losg-
er resist the desire Of communicating so curious
an incident

A BULL FIGHT WITH SrEAM.-A few days
since, as the locomotive steam engine was pas
sing the Columbia Rail Road the engineer espi-
ed bull driving across the field, apparently to
give battle TO the machine. lie was coming at
The top Of his speed. his tail stuck right into the
air, and his head down, if ior immediate at
tack. As the bull Grant rushed onward, the en-
gneer checked the car. and received the blow
on the front wheel. The animal reeoiled seve-
raj stcps--the putting Of the steam pipes seemed
TO challenge him TO second onset, and on he
came, blowing and tearing up the earth, while
his eyes seemed to shoot forth baleiu fire. The
engineer thought that his safety consisted in mo-
ying-he therefore put on the whole head Of the
accumulated steam, and the car started like the
wind. The cnraged beast struck short Of his
aim, he missed his footing, and rolled down a
high embankment, TO the infinite qualification Of
those who had watched shiss behavior, and the
glery Of the engineer.-U. S. Ges.
