a great love for me, but the whole there presents
to my mind the sad spectacle of liberty reduced to
a mere mechanism in the element of utility exer-

mind and soul, which after all should be the aim
of political liberty. Hence indifference on the sub

LITTLE DoLLIE DurroN.-The first levee of this
petite specimen of femininity will take place at the
New Assembly Rooms this evening The Boston
Post saws of her:
"She is perfect in form and feature, and is
beautiful little lady in miniature. Thousands and
tens of thousands crowd to see her, and hundreds
are obliged to leave and come a second time, to
get an audience with the little wonder. This after
noon nearly thousand people assembled to see her.
We are informed she weighs less than Tom Thumb,
and is the smallest child of her age in the world
Dollie is years old, 20 inches high, and weighs
only Is pounds. She interests the beholder at the
first gance not the curiosity merely, but the heart
She wins and attracts sympathy and attention. Her
proportions perfectly symmetrical, her features
pleasing, but very petit; in motion she is graceful
and agile as fawn. She is very confding, will
come into your arms, as she did in ours, and allow
you to carry her, as we did, She dances, sings,
and recites her little poems, with artless grace
She is well named the Little Fairy resembling
as she does, more than anything you can conceive
of the little people whom the poets and story tellers
inform us cut up such pranks by moonlight. No one
should miss seeing her,
