RrPLr or DArrEL WEssrER.-- Wecopy from
the Louisville Courier the following extract from
the letter Of Mr.. Webster 10 the citizens Of Bos.
ton, who had invited him to address them al Fan
ieul Hall. God grant that his prediction in re-
gard to our future destiny may prove true:
But the newspapers of this afternoon inform
me that the Board OF Aldermen have refused
your request for the use of Famuel Hail. care
nothing for this personally, except that il de-
prives me Of the qualification ol seeing you; al
though, il ! supposed that The general voice Of
the people Of Boston approved this proceeding,
1t would, / confess, cause methe deepest regret.
The resolution denying you the Hall, has been
adopted, if 1 mistake net, by the same Board
which has practically refused to join with the
other branch Of the city government in Offering
the hOspitalities Of The city TO President Fill
more.
Gentlemen, for nearly thirty years ! have been
in the service OF the country, by the choice Of
the people Of Boston, and the appointment Of the
Legislature oi Massachusetts. My public con-
duct, through the whole OF that long period. is
not unknown. and cheeiiully leave il TO the
judgment of the country, now snd hereafter.
! have done something and hazarded much, Ia
upheld the Constitution Of tie United States, and
10 maintain interests oil the most vital importance
TO the citizens OF Boston. And / shall do more
and hazard more, whenever. in nv Judgment, il
becomes necessary that more be done, or more
be hazarded. shall perform, with nnfinchine
perseverance. and TO the end, MY Duty TO MI
WHOLE COUNTRY, nor do !, in the slightest de.
gree, fear the result. Folly and fansticism may
have their honr. They-may not only affect the
minds Of individuals, but they may also seize or
public bodies, Of greater OF less dignity. Bu'
their reign is destined 10 be shorI, even where
inr the moment il seems most triumphant. We
Of Massachusetts, are not doomed TO course ol
political conduct, such as would reproach oul
ancestors, destroy our own prosperity. and ex-
pose us 20 the deFision Of the civilized world
No such future is before us. Far otherwise. =
Patriotism. the union Of good men, fidelity TO the
Constitution in oil ifs provisions, and thai intel
ligence which has hitherto enabled the people Of
this State 10 discern ard appreciate their own po-
liicaI blessings. a. well as what is due 10 their
own hisiury and character, will bring them back
10 their accustomed feelings OF love Of country
and Of respect and veneaa.on for its institutions,

aS-The last advices from Cuba represent
the Captain General and Spanish residents
as in the greatest terror, anticipating new
expedition and revolt in the Island. Ths
firing Of the cannon Of one of the Spanish
war steamers, Of the coast, for practices,
created the most ludicrous alarm, and boz
dies Of troops were instantly marched in
the direction Of the firing. As our cores.
pondent remarks, Concha and the Spanish
are continually bossting Of their pref ara
tiODs, and inviting "!Os piratos" to come il
they dare; yet they shake with fesr at the
very thought of their coming. We only
wonder at the simplicity Of our Americas
journals eehoing the coward boasts Of the
Spanish. Ifthe Spanish authorities we're
confident Of the loyalty of the people, and
the own preparedness to oyerwheim an ex-
pedi,ion, they would not tremble like beg

One thing is certsin,-H men love IN

that truth is more wonderful Than fiction
No invention Of imaginstion is SO exciting

Aladdin's Lamp will lose their sPieDdor;

in the leciure-room Of the philosopher,

NARROW ESCAPE;
Or, THE DOOMED CAPTIVE.

In the year l704, shortly before Gibraltar
was taken by the confederate feet under
the command of Sir George Rook, young
English officer was dispatched to shat town,
for the purpose of establishing communica-
ton with the few Inhabitants disposed TO
favor the English in their Gibralter; but,
having been warned in time, the Madrid
police ssat emisssries with orders to take
the EnglishmaA as 5000 as he should set
foot on Spanish ground. In fact, he was
appreheDded the very day of his landing,
for he came in boat under the disguise Of
a midshipmsn; hut he was spirited young
man, who had beforehand considered all
the chances Of his enterprise, and had pro-
vided himself with passport bearing every
requisite signature, SO that the officials
hssitsted to arrest him, lest he should not
be the right person.
Charles Fitzgerald (such was the name
Of the British oficer) had well meditsted
his plsn. He gave his false name, and
every information respecting his assumed
parentsge; and so satisfactory did lie ans
wer every question, that he would have
been free but for the positive and minute
orders they had received. In their doubt
they preferred being guilty of an unwar-
rsntable arrest, rather than let man es-
cape, the apprehension of whom the Span
ish government considered momeDtous
question. Fitzgerald was therefore taken
into custody until the arrival of further in
structions. These were not long deferred;
they were directed to keep him in close
eou6nment, whatever lis designation might
be.
The young man was accordingly trans
ferred to one of the cells in the fort. The
part Of the building where he was imprison-
ed was built on huge rocks. On one side
it commanded the sea, and on the other
lay sunfsthomable chssms. The entrance
Of the tower could be reached only BY al
steep and dangerous declivity, leading, as
10 all fortre sses, to the chief gate, the ap-
proseh Of which was defended by q ditch
and'a drawbridgs.
The Governor Of this prison, Senor Cor
sdcva, being converssnt with the English
language, was delighted TO possess as an
inmate this British officer, whose manners
and conversation indicated well-born, ill.,
tslligsDt, educated person. At that per-
iod, this was no Ordinsry occurrence among
the inhabitants Of the fort. -s. s
oSenor Cordovs promised the young man
- much libertyss was consistent with his
instructions, and asked him to Join in de-
tensiyf war against spleen and ennui This,
Charles willingly accepted. He was in
every respect gentleman on whose word
one conld rely; but, unfortunately, in this
case at least, most handsome Young man.

From bank to valley leaping,
And by its sunny margin lay
A lovely infant sleeping.

Broke not the spell which bound him,
Like music breathing in his dream
A lullaby around him.

Within this world Of sorrow,

That Affth from heaven may borrow,
And such was Ihis-a scene SO fair, '~
Arrayed in summer brightness.
And one poor being resting there
Que soul of radiant whiteness.
wha. happy dreams, fair child, are given,
Toscast their sunshine o'er thee!
What cord unites that soul TO heaven,
Where visions glide before thee!
For wandering smiles of cloudless nirth
O'er thy glad features beaming,
Say, not thcught-a form Of earth
Alloys thine hour Of dreamingi
MsyhGp, afar on unseen wings,
Thy silent spirit soaring,
Now he6rs the burst from golden springs,
Where angels are adoring,
And with the pure heliscal ihrong,
Around their maker praising,
The joyous heart may join the song
Ten thousand tongues are raising!

THE TRuE LIFE.-The mere lapse of
years is not life. To eat, and drink, and
sleep; to be exposed to the darkness and
the light; to pace round in the mill of habit,
to turn the wheel of wealth; to make rea-
son our book keeper end tnrn thought into
trade, this is not life. In ell this but q puor
fraction of the consciousness Of humanity
is awakened; and the sanctities still slum.

Knowledge, truth, love, beauty, goodness,
faith, alone can give vitality to the mechan-
ism of existence; the laugh Of mirth vibrstes
through the heart, the tears freshen the cry

hood back, the prayer that calls the future
near, the doubt which makes Us mediate,
the death that startles US with mystery, the
hssaship that forces US to struggle, the snx-

ishment of our mutual being. ..
