"In the beginning God made the Common.
wealth Of Massachusetts, - and Boston soon
aftcr" is the first verse Of all the bibles recog-
nizcd as given by plenary inspiration, in these
purts. True, there were people, before that be-
ginning Of things, as some hcretics say. hut
they were not thought worthy Of mention in a
grayo account Of the origin Of Young An,erica.
Just 50 other hcreics say there were people
before Adam, from whom Cain, the convict, got
a wife. Doubtless, bnt not people worth men
tioaing.
We begin 10 have bright spots on our brown,
bleak Landscape. And they are very bright;
sweet touches Of the art that gun and sky and
south winds hnve never lent to envious mortals.
Invent few days since through the rooms OF
the Boston Athcnnun,, to see the fine collection
Of paintings md stutues recently opened for the
new ecason. ] Twas delighted with the hcmbio
pictures, which gaye me back something OF that
rare woman, blossom Of The tender grace of wo-
manhood, Who bowed her sad farewell to the
public last winter, leaving the world for
hundred years, ut least, without voice for
Shakespeare Of beauty mud power such as hers
was. Allston I rejoiced in. The collection Of
Browns landscapes WIS good to see, md
