At the dinner giveVliy the city imtliori- j
tits of Boston, on the 5th inst., the scnti- j
inent to "The Memory of Washington" j
having been proposed, Hon. Edward Everett
was introduced by tlie Mayor, and was.received
with enthusiastic cheera. Ue spoke
as follows:
Mr. Mayor: T feel greatly honored by
the manner in which you have c.jittcd upon
ine to respond to the toast given to the I
memory of Washington. I have elsewhere j
thought it right to say that to bo named In j
connection wuu titm is an honor so lar be- |
yond any desert of mine (hat there would
be a degree of vanity in thinking it necessary
to disclaim it. You will give ino credit,
if not for the self-knowledge and humility,
at least for the good taste, which would
lead me to put far aside any such association
with that great name, which, more than
any other name of human renown, has
drawn to itself incomniunicably the gratitude
and affection of his own countrymen,

with which the mention of that illustrious

of our National Independence.

i ol history.*'
It is delightful lo witness tlic generous
recognition of Washington's rucril, oven in
| countries where, from pulitcnl reasons, some
| backwardness in Unit respect might have
. been anticipated. Notwithstanding his
leading agency in wresting a colonial empire
from Great Dritain, Knglaiid was not
i slow to appreciate the Grandeur and hi-antv
: of I lis character, liiifus King, ^vriting to
j General Hamilton, in 179^,"say?: 'vio one j
who has not. been in England can have a
just idea of the admiration expressed among '
all parlies for Gen. Washington. It is a I
common observation that he is not only the i
most illustrious, but the most meritorious !
character which has yet appeared."
Nor was J*'ranee hehiud^?Kn?rhmd in her
admiriUffau of Washington^ Notwilhstand- i
ing the uneasy relations of tl. ev'intries.^
at the time of his decease, when the news of
his death reached l'aris, ihe youthful and ,
fortunate soldier, who had already reached <
the summit of his power by paths which ,
Washington never could have trod, commanded
ihe highest honors to he paid to
him. A solemn funeral service was perform- j
ed in the '"Invalids.'' in thi> ?>f nil
\ - I
that was most eminent in l'aris. "A sor- ;
rowful cry," said Fotitanes, the orator chosen
by Napoleon for the occasion, "has
reached us from America, which he liberated.
It belongs to France to yield tlie'lirst
response to the lamentation which will be
echoed by every great soul. These august
arches have been well chosen for the apotheosis
of a hero."
How often, in those wild scenes of her
revolution, when the best blood of France
was sncu by the remorseless and ephemeral
tyrants who chased each other, dagger in
hand, across that dismal stage of crime and
I woe, during the reign of terror?how often
did the thoughts of Lafayette and his com- j
panions in arms, who hud fought the bat- i
ties of constitutional liberty in America, i
call up the image of the pure, the just, the
humane, the unambitious Washington! <
How different would have been the fate of
France, if her victorious chieftain, when he
reached the giddy heights of power, had
imitated the great example which he eulo!

I from the sad significance of those raemoraj
ble words of Fontanes, on the otcasion to
which I have alluded, when, in the presence
of Napoleon, he spoke of Washington as a
man who, "by a destiny, seldom shared by
those who change the fate of empire*, died
in peace, as a private citizen, in his native

Thousands of men, according to the Review!

the metamorphosis of tissue : another

good hymn is a blessed treasure. Every :
Mich hymn -in your mind at command ;
when it is needed, will b? worth vastly
uiuii; iu juu hi.hi su :naiiv louars in your I
pocket. It is c:i]>itnl tliat bears repeated!
and continued investment, a'ways repaying
at compound rates. A gocd hymn, like a
good plough, becomes all tl'e brighter ffom
using, but unlike the instrument, use does
not wear it out or weaken its power.?
Like the "Famsi" of Virgil, "rives ucquirel
cmido," the hymn gathers strength from
repetition, and with .somtl-ing of mercy's
quality, l,it blesses him thai gives and itim
that takes."
A hymn committed to memory becdtues j
a little perennial tbiintain, tor good, in the {
soul ol the young (JhrisUiin. It Milords a j
substantial refreshment. h does not inter- '
fere with his duties, for it .s a sweetener of j
toil. It helps to in ike heavy burdens light, |
and dull hours cheerful. It either drives 1
away care or lessons its anxieties. It brings |
a gleam of sunshine into the cloudiest and '
darkest day, and aids in tb$ development of j
right feeling under the most unfavorable !
circumstances.

Mixed with water, in about the proportion ,
mentioned, it constitutes the most eileotiial
shampooing fluid, either for ladies or gen- ;
liemcn. Willi about half llie above pro-i
portions, it makes a suitable and elegant l
bath for children. Avoid, however, its getting
into the eyes, as it will cause a few moments'
smarting.
A few drops into a tumbler of cold water
will effectually remove nausea, or sickness
of the stomach, and promotes digestion.
It instantly dissolves, and washes out lamp
oil, tallow, or any kind of grease, tar, or
paint, from the !loor, the clothes, etc.
The 'spirit of ammonia*' is composed of |
volatile alkali, pure spirits, and aromalics, j
and can be procured of anv dru<???ist or
apothecary, at about three shillings per pint

Lis follows:
"You ask how aiftity was restored between
Mr. Randolph' and me? There was
no explanation, no intervention. Observing
him in the Senate one night and looking
as if he were not long for this world,
and being myself engaged in a work of peace,
with corresponding feelings I shook hands
with him. The salutation was cordial on both
sides. I afterwards left a card at his lodgings,
where I understood he had been confined
by sickness."

made, Hfter dwelling on the threatening
danger of disunion, lie is reported to have
said : "There is one man only, who can save
this Union?that is Henry Clay. I know
that be has the power; 1 believe lie will be
found to have the patriotism and firmness
equal to the occasion."
The cause of the duel l>ctween these distinguished
uifii was the following insulting
language used by Mr. Randolph towards
Mr Clav in secret session of the Senate, in
1825:"
"This man?(mankind, I crave your pardon)?this
worm (little animals, forgive
the insult.) was spit out of the womb of
weakness? whs raised to a higher life than
ho was born to, for he was raised to the
society of blackguards. Some f fortune,
kind to him, cruel to us, has tossed him to
the Secretary of State. Contempt has the
proporty of deconJing, but she stoojis far
short of him. She would die before she
would reach him ; ho dwells bclmv her fall.
I would hate him if I did not despise him.
It is not what he is, but where he is, that
puts my thoughts in action. This alphabet,
which writes the name of Thersites, ol
blackguard, of squalidity, refuses her letters
fur him. That mind that thinks on what it j
cannot express, cnni?carccly think on him. j
A hypeibole for meanness would bean ellip- \
sis for Clay."

After lite meeting had been called to "on-.,

proposition seemed to meet with almost.nhiversal
favor. It was an excellent wqy t,0

in tlu-ir turn expressed their hope that
such a course would- be adopted.
Tlic president was about to put the question
to the meeting, when an object rd'sein
a distant part of the boiiding, and all? eye*
, were instantly turned in that direction. * It
I was an old woman, poorly clnd, and whoso
I careworn countenance was the painfulini
dex of no light suffering ; and yet there
I was something in the flash of llie bright
eye that told she had onoe been what 6he
was not. She addressed the president, and
