Claws Changeable Face.

Henry Clay, when presented III
February 1852, with a large and
elegautly.eXeculetl medal, by some
of his New York friends, received
il by reading a writteuaddresS aud
then in Il conversational manner
expressed Il favorable opinion OF
the head as giving his features
with great truthtuineSS, but play
fully remarked that he did rot know
before that his nose was quite so
prominent; and then added in allu-
sion to the great intrinsic value of
the medal from its material, !'Who
can tell but fifty or Il hundred
years hence some Goth may yet
hold ofthis and say the nose Of this
old dead fellow Will serve to buy
me a great many things that 1
want, and nay carry it Oft! How
ever, it is a capital likeness, |
think. 'The artist said Mr.. Clay,
''liave not generally succeeded well
III taxing my features, OUT lllaU naS
been in great measure my own
fault; for my face never retains long
the same expression, and, especial
ly under excitement, it changes ev-
cry moment. John Randolph once
paid me high compliment, not in
tionally, fol- he seldom compliment
ed any man; but without intending
it, he paid me what esteem one OF
the highest compliments ever re-
ceived. He said that whenever IL
debate is coming on, if can get a
sight of Mr.. Clay's face | Gun al
ways tell which side he is going to
take.o Strange to say, the medal
was soon aiterward stolen between
Washington and New York from a
lady to whose care it was lntlusted,
and the original donors had a fac
smile made at considerable ex-
penSe.
