"nished since Mr.. Webster's DEATH" Crossing
the drawing-room, we passed through its western
door into the Library. This is large and elegant
gothic room, many sided, with high, yaulted roof
and windows of stained glass. 1t is about % feet
in length and breadth, and apparently about 30 feet
in hight Tall, dark gothic bookcases filled with
handsomely bound books occupied one end of the
room. Two portraits, both BY Hcaey, attracted
my attention. One was of Major Edward Webster,
the other of Mrs. Fletcher Webster. This last re-
minded me strongly Of the description of Genevra
| in ROgerss Italy:
'!'Ts Of a lady in her earliest youth
He, who observes IL, ere he passes on,
Gnzcs his FILL ard cones and comes again,
She sits inclniDg forward as to speak,
Her lips Lsl oPen, and ,s, heI nnseI up up o.ou
BoideIed with flowers and cls'prd from head to foot
But then her face,
So lovely, yet so arch, so full Of mirth
The overhowinss Of an innocent heart
Beneath this portrait is bust life size, of Plus
! lX., by Powers. 1t stands upon black pedestal
about four feet from the floor. On the north side
of the room is very peculiar fireplace Over the
mantlepece is large square window, with the
chimney fues going up on each side of it, The
view from it is very pretty, of little lake sur
rounded by woods. On this mantlepiece Mr..
Webster used to lean and look out upon the land
scape when he was warming his feet AT the sides
of the fireplace hang full-cngth portrait of Lord
Ashburton, which he presented to Mr. Webster,
and also full.length OF Mr. Webster, which was
taken few years before his death. Over the frame
of the latter is placed long bamboo staff, which
was asbrought home from India to Mr.. Webster by his
son, Fletcher. Upon one end of it hangs the white
felt hat in which he has 10 often been painted. On
the south of the room opposite the fireplace, is a
glass door opening upon the lawn; and on either
sides of it are bookcases-tWO on the further side
and one toward the southeast; against the eastern
wall, on each side of the door, is another. These
bookcases are all alike, of dark wood, and resem-
bling the ones at the end Of the room. On the left
is portrait of Mr.. Fletcher Webster, by Healy.
Toward the further end Of the library is large
study table, with red leather chair behind IT, at
which Alr. Webster was accustomed TO SIT and
write; and here book is placed in which the VS.
itors TO 'Green Harbor put down their names.
There are three or four large arm chairs in the
room; one of which draws out and can be made
into lounge; in il Mr.. Webster sat much On a
large mahogany frame is book of engrayings. In
the middle of the room stands very elegant CEN
ter table, which was given to Mr.. Webster, and
which bears the following inscription, oa small
