Dickens First Look &C Boston.

About midnight on that eventful Ian
ding, "Boz. oz."-everybody called him
"Boz' In those days.--having finished
his supper came down into the Office Of
the hotel, ard joining the young Earl of
M, his fellow-voyager sailed out
for first look at Boston streets. II was
q singing night and the moon was at
the full. Every object stood out sharp
and 2littering, and "Boz" muffiea up in
shaggy fur coat, ran over the shining
frozen snow, wisely keeping the middle
Of the street for the most part. We bsys
followed cautiously behind, but near e.
nough not to lose any of the fun. Or
course the two gentlemen soon lost their
way on emerging into Washington from
fremont street. Dickens kept up one
continual shout of uproarious laughter
as he went rapidly forward, reading the
Signs on the shops, and observing he
architecture of the new country into
which he had dropped as from the clouds.
When the two arrived opposite the ODD
South Church, Dickens screamed. To
this day Jack. could never tell why.
Was 1t think YOU, because OF its fancied
resemblance to ST. Paul's or the Abbey?
declare TO you the mystery of that
shout Is still IA mystery To me? II
bell handles had been noses during that
roilicking ramble, what quantity Of
Boston features would have been dis
turbed that night! Dickens seemed quite
unable to keep his fingers off the inviting
knobs that protruded from the doors a,
he went past, aud he pulled them with
such vigor that one actually came off in
his hand. Up one street, down another,
into alleys, through back yards, we saw
the merry twain proceed. Ii was ev-
dem TO Us they had not the rcmotest sus-
picion how they were ever to find their
way back to the fremont House. Not
u watchtnan was discoverable, and we
ielt it would be reserved for us TO guide
them back to their lodgings. About one
O'Clock they approached u, and asked
their way to the hotel. The Earl put the
question to our party, and Dickens
spoke never word, but stood bv beat
ing hi, hands and feet for warmth, the
night having grown fiercely cold. De-
lighted with our luck, we volunteered
to pilot the lost pair to the fremont,
and only wished we had miles to walk
back with them instead OF only few
block. When we got near the steps of
the hotel, Dickens turned TO one OF our
party and asked. What is the punish
ment IN this city when person is de-
tected in the act of pulling Off a door
bell handler" With admirable prompt
ness the lad looked him knowingly in
the eve and answered, The heaviest
possible, sir; lie is instantly deprived OF
his PicSwick.' Little did Dickens
dream when he addressed US, that the
sweet wag' was known. and that we
might have shouted, Dive think we
didn't know ye.' We knew We as well
as he that made ye! Years afterwards
when | recalled the incidents of that
night 10 Dickens, he remembered them

are permitted to have calm in the politi-
cal storm now dashing through our streets,
demolishing houses, twisting the branches
from our fesh-budded trees, tearing away
signs, arraying friends against friends, and
brother against brother, we expect to pub

by those who feel an interest in our city
with the same dispassionate view we have
exhibited in writing them. To ask fair
consideration of this subject, at time like
the present, we feel sure would result in
nothing, for the minds Of our people are
not ready to receive them, already furious
ly stirred by the great spoon Of political
hatred. We anticipate our articles because
we feel great interest in the subject and
believe that the day is near at hand when
our citizens will take a proper view of
this subject and unite with us in our at
