The Ndrth American Review," -for January, has a very savory article on the boy hood of Henry Clay, and gives tho following account of him as he at. tended school and appeared as a clerk in Richmond : We catch our first glimpe of the bof when ho sat in the little log school. house, vitlhoui windows or floor, one of a humming score of sho--less boys, where a good natured, irritable, drink. ingqclhoolmaster taught him to read, write, atid cipher 'al far as Practive. This was the only school he-evvr atten Jed, and that was all he learned at it. -His widowpd..n-a. .:* young clildren, It -r little farm aM two or threb. slaveo, could do no more f6 i4 Next, we See him a tall, aw krd, alndEr ftripling,of thirtein, ,.still bare. loot, ead,in homespun butternut of'lis motier's naki q, tilling ht* fields, and goino to the m%l-with his bag or corn strapoe u011-thu family pony.

We heard it last when he was an old man, past seventy; and all he said was a few words bf ac. knowledgement to a'group of ladies in the largest halt in hiladelphia. He 8poke only in the ordinary tone of con. versation ; but his voice filled the room as the orgafi fills a great cathedral, and the ladies stood spell-bound as the swel. ling',cadences rolled- about the Yvt apartment. We have heard much of W hitefield's piercing voice and Patrick Henry's silvery. tones, but we cannot believe that either of those natural- ora. tore possessed an organ superior to Clay's majestic bass. No one who ever heard him speak will find it difficult to believe what tradition reports, thathe was the peerless star of the Richmond Debating Society in 1795. The following reminences of Mr. Clay are from the pen of the Hon. Thos. Ewill who wrote them as a contribu. tion to a Sanitar# Fair : . Mr. Clay, will all his terrible ower of denunciation, was in ordinary debate pleasant and playful. 'Vten dealiig with an ordinary adversary he often re. minted me of of the lines in Milton's do scri lon of the Eden before the fall: "Sportive the lien ramped and ibpaw Dandled the kid." On one occasion. the year I do not re. member, but it was the 4ret time tLb Whigs carried an election in the City of New York, I found him early in his seat with a newspaper in his hand. As soon as the journal was read, he rose, quite out of order-ansounced to the President (Mr. Van Buren) the Whig victory, spoke of their noble efforts in the cause of their country, and of their brilliant success. '.Your owh fellowv. citizens, Mr. President-the proud capi. tal of your noble State-hqq made its voice heard in our halls, in,defqnqj.Q k.'Pr*#id doesnot Wi warn your pat&iotic heart " *The impidenceq and absurdity-of this eppeal w'as too much for the digniby of a presiding officer. Mr. Van Buren's face drew itself into I know not'how many indescribable lines, in which' the obmical predominated, and he slid down in his seat until * nothing of him was visible but the smooth top of his head. He soon called some one to the chair, came dowvu took a pinch of snuff with Mr. Clay, and after a wholesale langh between them the morAng business went on. His classical allusions (English class ies) were few but sufficiently happy. Hisattempts-to cite poetry generally fAiled. On one occasiot hp attempted' the hackneyed quotations from Ham let "Let the galled jade wince, our withers are unwrung." He mistook the last syllable, an.d with great distinctness and nno emphasis made'it "unstrung." Watkins Leigh' sat on his right; I on his left; both at the same instant, in.suppressed voice, ronounced the word "unwrung." The double prompting- confused 'im; lhe ,dr,w himself.up and with a strdnk em phasis. mnde the word "unhung." le stood with a very pIdasant and une barressed countenance, until the laugh, which had become general, subsided, and then, with a gentle shake of hs head and a long drawing out of the fist .word, said., "Ah I murder will !n. ; ahpgost imagined be had slipped en pur. poseto'show his adroitness in recovering.

Of course, we believe that everything that we bve hold, and possess, is the finest, beat and tao4t p. propriate, and it is hard fer us, with our nineteenth century notions of progress and refinement,to credit that those things whrich we considor to be so old fashion dd and incomplete were once esteemed as master pieces of domestic art. The hiloy"of the stove in the 'rotunda is somewhat remarkable' and extremely in teresting, an'd '..664 that it wa'med the Halls of the louseof' Burgesses, at Williamsburg,.for about oikty years be. fore it was removed, bone -thirty years ago, to be 'placed in the central hall which it how holds. It bears the Brit. isl4arms and other enbellianments in relief, and in spite of the influence of a republican soil and republican institu. tions, the emblems of royalty are still in a state of good preservation. The "founder" of the stove, an Italian nam. ed Busaglio, considered his work the no plus uUrg of stove-making, and when it was shipftd from -London he wrote as follows to Lord Botetourt, then Gov. ernor of Virginia, under date of Au gust 15th, 1770 : - The elegance of workmanship -does honor'to Great Britain. It excels in grandeur anything ever seen of the kind, and is # master-piece not to be equalled in all Europe. It has mnt with general applause, and could not be sufficiently adtnired." This rtaptuous praise may seem to U1 overstrained, but it is doubtful whether ty yea, an dstill remain Tn.oued and serviceable condition. -The "warm ing machine," as-Buzaglio calls it, which has preserved his name to an admiriog posterity, was presented to the Houso of Burgesses by the *Duke of Beaufort. It has surviv'ed three British monarchi and has been cotemporadeols with four kingly monarchies, two republics, and two imperial governments of France. The great Republic of America, "one and indivisible," has been torn by inter. necine strife, year after year of domestic war has 'rolled slowly by, peace has come home to us at last, and still the stove of Buzaglio occupies its old iposi tion in the Halle of Virginia's Capitol.
