The linker Hill Celebration

lion. Edward Everett's Oration. The procession in Boston on Wednes day on the occasion of the anniversary of ihc battle of Bunker Hill, when the Warren statue was inaugurated, occupied about an hour in passing any giren point. The military display was very brilliant, and the Masons paraded about fifteen hundred strong. Every available spot along the line was occupied by spectators. The procession reached the monument about three o'clock, when the exercises commenced by the delivery of the oration by tLe Hon. Edward Everett. It was, like- everything coming from Mr. Everett, an ablo and brilliant production. The following 13 the concluding portion of it. "While we pay duo honors to the illustrous men who led the armies to revolution, we rejoice to believe and do know, that the great separation which they effected has been productive of equal benefits to both countries, and that the enlightened English statesman of the present day, like the B i' ikes and Chathams of the revolutionary period, acknowledge the soundness of the principles for which our fathers flew to arms, and everywhere extending their application throughout the colonial empire of Great Britain Henceforth let our only contest with th fatherland be a generous emulation tn the arts of peace. While I speak the public vessels of the two countries are bound on a joint errand to the mid-ocean, not to stain its waters with fraternal blood, but to knit the two continents together by those mysterious bonds by which modem science and art, outstiipping the laggard hours, annihilating the widths of ocean, and flashing like thought through their rayless depths, is bringing the wholo civilized world into the magic circle of instantaneous commit - nication.

The world-surrounding ocean whitened with the sails of Amuiican commerce, which, before ihe Revolution, was hemmed in by the narrow limits of colonial lestric Hon; the hundreds of cities that line the coast and crown the banks of noble rivers, and which have started from the soil since the establishment of independence; the vast wilderness, whose primeval forests are yearly bowing to the settler's axe, af fording a home to the redundance of our own population, and the hungry millions of E urope; these boundless prairies over which the living wave of population is pouring like a rushing tide, bringing with it to the utmost vertre of settlement the last results of civilization, railroads following the recent Indian trail, electric telograps convey intelligence where the mail coach was a thing of yesterday; great steamers on rivers and lakes, tiaversed within a generation by the bark canoe these proclaim, in language more impressive than inscriptions on the monumental granite in forms more significant than the sculptured marblethe worth and the memory of tho great and good men who sowed in weakness tho harvest which wo raise in power; who, in the doubtful elements of national grealness3 whish opened upon them in a visionary future, beheld tho germs of this palmy growth, of this impartial abundance, as tho sculptor be holds in advance the muscular limbs, tho glowing features, tho triumphant expression of Iiis marble hero, in the heart of the shapeless block. Finally, my friends, let the recollection of a common danger and a common glory which the day and the spot awaken, bring with them the strengthened love of a common country. The patiiotism of our fathers, and especially of tho illustrious man whom we commemorate, was of the moit!

comprehensive cast. In a leiter of the 21st of November, 1774, addressed to Josiah Quincy, another earnest, devoted champion of American liberty, General Warren declared that "it is the united voice of American people to preserve their freedom, or lose their lives in defense of it. I am convinced that the true spirit of liberty was never souniversally diffused through all ranks and orders of the people in any country on the face of the earth as it now is through all North America." On the day which Warren fell, Washington was commissioned as Commander-in-Chief of all the continental forces raised, or to be raised in defence of American liberty. Massachusetts and Connecticut had their armies in tho field, commanded by their favorite generals, but John Adams took the lead, in promoting the nomination of a general from that part of the Union where they were as yet no force embodied

eager to give a striking proof that no local feelings swayed New England, by entrust - ingthe command of her army for such ii was to a leader from the banks of the distant Potomac, whom he already designated as the "beloved Washington." The melancholy tidings of tho death of Warren were received with poignant grief throughout the country, and it may be doubted whether the most brilliant success on Bunker Hill could have done as muc1, to bind the colo lies together as the noble, though in its immediate results unavailing resistance; the profuse, though at the time unprofitable outpouring of human blood. A great revolution must be inaugurated with great sacrifice, and all the loftier passions are ennobled by the purification of sorrow; nor is it certain that Warren, had he assumed the command and driven the enemy back to his boats, would have done j as much to kindle a chastised and res.dute j enthusiasm throughout the country, and unite the colonics in the imnendiu"- slrn rgle, as when he shouldered his musket and fell in the ranks. And, oh! my friends, let the lesson of fraternal affection which he caught us in and upon this Sacred day and upon this im !., .t .. t 1. 1 1 1 1. . 1 "iu um, iei u proclaim a truce to sec t onal and party sti ife, as- the medieva church proclaimed the "truce of God." herever eis- the elements of discord m.Tv tage, let ihe storm be hushed, like yonder tage. placid j placid waves, at the foot of Bunker Hill. Here let the kindly feelings that anima ; 'odour fathers revive in the bosoms of their sons, assured that should "malice do mestic or foreign levy" invade us if liv ing champions should f ill, that monunien tal che eck would burn with the glotf of pat "otism, that us scabbard, riotism, that marble sword would leap from and the heavii.g sods of Bun , . . ir. - up their sheeted regiments to the defense of the Union. IitraordiiiaryPliciiomciiou Mysterious movements of an Atmospheric Body near Utica L its of Life and De struction of Property. We learn from the Utica (N. Y.) Herald that on Saturday, the day appointed fur the collision between the cumet and .no earth, a remark ible phenomenon was wit nessed near that city, and caused the de struction of life and property. It was a .'very remarkable formation of nebulous or cloudy substance extending from the heav ens nearly to the earth, vherc it seemed to diminish nearly to a point, but expanding gradually as itascended, until the peculiar form was lost in tho clouded sky." It passed over the city of Utica at about four o'clock, and was remarked fui its appearance not only, but also for a "rushiiifr, buzzing noise as it swept off in tho direc tion of Deerfield." The Herald continues: "It was watched for some moments, and the people generally believed it to be a water-spout, as its conical form corresponded with all ideas of such natural phenomena. It soon passed from sight, and was mado tho object of sportive conversation for the hour, withou; tho least just conception of what the body consisted, or of its destructive power. Its effects, however, have been most wonderful, and may justly attract tho attention and scrutiny of the whole scien tific world. The conical mass first settled to the earth a few minutes after four, near tho res idence of Milo Hoot, in Deerfield, where ono or two fences were torn down and scat tered about tho fields. Here the destructive power seemed merely to touch surface; between this point and the residence of Nathan Budlong, in Schuyler, a ' distance of ono or two miles, a prostrate tree or fence only attest to i:s destructiveness. At Mr Uudlong's tho mysterious iiyenty bellied to the earth, and in an instant scattered a barn to pieces, and tore up several trees on the opposite side of the road; next, tho well built house of Mrs. Richardson, which was standing directly in a southeasterly line

from where it first touched the earth, was

demolished, and quite a number of trees in her orchard, and fences, were destroyed; the path of destruction then tended in a direct line to the southeast, as marked by numerous prostrate trees and fences, until it approached the baptist parsonage house, occupied by a Mr. John Warren. Mr. W. informs us that he was engaged in his garden at about four o'clock, and saw the approach of the cloudy object, as it threw up the trees. As i:s course pointed in tho ditcction ot his own house, he ran to the dwelling, caught two of his older children, and called to his wife to savithe other three by fi liming him to the cellar. The huoband descended two or three steps with his charge, and the wife, wi h an inf-tnt and two older children, had reached the cellar door, when the house was struck. The whole frame work was lifted from the :one foundation; the entire j wc od work above the first floor was carried ! fcome twenty feet and then dropped in grand perfection of ruin, while the first floor, with the sleepers attached, which caught in the foundation, was finally turned rooflike over the entire mass. Mr. Warren, with two of the children, remained in the cellar inclosure, wi.hout injury; Mrs. Warren was found on the ground ab ut ten feet from the cellar door, almost entirely stripped of her cloihiog, and so severelv injured about her in-ck and body that she died within an houraf.cr the calamity, although er.lhely conscious; her infant was found near by and almost entirely free from injury, vet utterly di s.i.ute of clothing; a little boy who was fallowing his mother to the cellar, is now lying unconscious from the wounds he received in ihe common wreck. His recoveiy is very doubtful. An older girl f aliped wiJiotit an injury. The dwell- j ing was two stories, !Gx2G feet, and substantially built. In the rear of it was a barn, which was disiai.t about live rods. 25 x32, which was literally shivered into splinters. Next in the south-easterly line of i;s course it uprooted several large trees, scattered the fences, crossed the road and demolished a lar-re barn, beloniinir lo John M. Budlong. This building was of recent and very substantial build, and 35xoU feet upon hs base, yet the destructive element tore it to pieces, scattering large timbers about the fields at a distance of from five to fifteen rods, distiibuting portions of the roof in various directions, and actually taking up an iron cylinder thrashing machine weighing perhaps four hundred pounds, and depositing it at least eighty feet from ihe barn. A cjw, belonging to Mr. B., siandin'r near the barn, was killed wi:hmit any apparent wound. About eighty rods further on in a direct line, a smaller barn, belonging to the same gentleman, was demolished, and what is very singular in this instance, but little of the material of which it was constructed, is to be found anywhere. A few shivered boards and timbers alone attest to its previous existence. The dwelling of Mr. Budlong had a narrow escape. A shingle or two torn from one corner of the roof indicate how narrowly it escaped destruction. Beyond the premises of Mr. B. for about a mile, prostrate trees and fences evidence the track of the destructive messenger. It seemed to have released its hold upon the earth soon after leaving the firm of Mr. B. for it was distinctly seen to rise from th surface and dissolve its conical shape into a Tho phenomenon was followed bv a vi olent rain and wind. Two men at work in a field saw the strange apparition approach and took to their heels, barely escaping its track as it passed on. It seemed to rise from the earth in four or live minutes from tho timo it was first seen, and the evidence before us of desti uci ion lies in a district not over four or live miles in extent, in a duo southeasterly direction from where its first touch was felt, and in a track about fifteen rods in width. Whatever form of material substance presented itself in this track was swept away, and the ruin is certainly fearful to behold. Had the mysterious body settled upon the city and passed down Gcunessee street, there would not at this hour remain a ves tige of its present formation. Of what ho destructive power was composed we are not prepared to affirm, but of its force we can truthfully attest. Hugo trees were tossed from their deep rooted resting pla ces as readily as a gardener would pull up radishes from the eandy earth, fences and even fence posts were scattered in all di rections as if they were chips, and build ings offered no more resistance than a clapboard to a forty-horso powei entrine. The moving mass of ruin is represented by all who saw it to have been a vapory substance; it was not accompanied by any wind or storm, but seemed an independent agency, traveling on its own account, at a speed of perhaps a milo a minute. In its motion there was a constant revolution, and when it was risiDg this whirling peculiarly became more terrific and violent. The pe-

culiar buzzing sound which was noticed

in its passage by our citizens was also remarkd by the people along its course in Deerfield and Schuvler. All the peculiarities attending tho phenomenon seemed to demand a scientific in vesication as to its cause and peculiar effect. What agency could produce such results except electiicity re are unable to comprehend; and yet the strange proofs of destruction exhibited cannot be well ex plained on any popular theory connected with this wonderful agency. The trees are still given in the leaf and healthful in the bud, and, neither wood nor metallic substances with which tho element camo in contact bear the slightest marks of heat or show the usual marked eflect of atmospheric electrical contact as a destroying power. But we have no solution of our own that is atall satisfactory to ourselves even, much less to the reader. The subject is one worthy of scientific investigation, and, as the facts and evidences attending the phenomenon aro fresh and easily accessible, we hope some one will undertake the task of reducing to the standard of the public mind a comprehensive explanation of the occurrence. The lady who was killed was thirty -one years of age; the child so badly injured is about 5 years old. The building which the family occupied was known as the Baptist parsonage, and is about five miles from the city, on the road leading to Schuyler Corners. Yes?erdry several parties visited the scene of disaster, and all areo that no description of the utter ruin wrought can suffice to convey any just! conception to the public tuind. ! THE GOLD COIX; OR, THE LITTLE STREET BEGG. r . t tii wivi um" ui ii u;n tiar 4iuui had just set in, bright, golden and beautiful. The sun glistened liko jeweled raiment iu the cloudles sky. The chiming of the silvery sounds of the bells struck i joyfully upon the listener in every street. There was a little girl a child of poverty, on that new year's morning, walking the streets with the gay crowd that swept past her. Her little feet had grown so numb, encased only in thin shoes, and those so badly worn, that sho could with ditliculty move one before the other. Her cheeks 6hook at every step she took, and her lips looked purple. Alas, poor Elsie Gray! Sho was a little beggar. Just l?ke the old tear was the new year to her, just like the last year's wants, and last year's sufieiings, were the wants and sufferings of this! The chansre of the vear brought no change in her condition. Her mother was a widow and an invalid, and the child a poor beggar. In the old and cheerless room gleamed no bright fires of anniversary. No evergreens, no wreaths, no flowers, save a fewwithered ones decked its time-stained walls. There was no sound of merry voce3 within the door, to eay to tho Widow Gray A happy new yea-'s to you, Mrs.jGray.' Heaven seemed to have walled her and hT abode out fiom the happiness that was all the world's on that festive day of the year. It had proved to all appearance, no congratulation. Why? Were they outcasts? Had they outraged their claims on the wide world's charities? Had thev m voluntarily shut themselves out from the sunlight of the living creatures aroud them? No! a shame take the world that it must be so answered for them. Mrs. Gray was very poor! Little Elsie stopped at times and breathed her hot breath upon her blue and benumd fingers, and stamped her tiny feet in the:r casements, with all tho force I .-ft in them, and then big tears stood trembling in her large blue eyes for a moment, and rolled 6lowly down her purple cheeks, as if they would freeze to them. Sho had left her mother iu bed, sick and famished. What wonder that sho cried, even though those hot tears only dripped on tho cold pavements. They might as well fall there as elsewhere; the many human hearts ihat passed her, were full as icy and hardened. A young boy a bright looking little fellow chanced to pass her, as she walked and wept and sobbed. He knew not what want and suffering were. He had never known them himself knew not what a ral beggar was. He stopped suddenly be fore Elsie, and asked her tho cause of those tears. Sho could make no reply; her heart was too full. Has any one hurt you?' asked tho feeling little fellow. She shook her head. 'Have you lost your way? No,' answered tho child audibly. 'What is tho matter, then?' he asked. Mother is poor and sick, and I am cold and hungry. We have nothing to eat. Our room is quite cold, and thero is no wood for us. Where do you live?'

Will you go with me?' asked Elsie, her face brightening. 'Yes,' said he, 'show me the way. Through street, lane and alley she guided him. They reached tho door of the

- ; hovel. The cold breath of the wind wliistied in at the crack3 and crevices before them. They entered. A sick woman feebly raised her head from the pillow, and with a kind look, said faintly, 'Elsie, have you come?' 'Yes, mother, and I have brought this boy with me. I do not know who ho is, but he said he wanted to coma and see where we live Did I do wronir to brin him, mother?' 'No, my child,' said tho mother, if he knows how to pity you from his little heart. The bright-faced, sunny-haired boy gazed around him in astonishment upon the mother and child. The sceno wa3 new lo him. IIo wondered if this was what they called poverty. His eyes looked sad upon the wasting mother, but they glittered with wonder when turned towards Elsie. Suddenly they filled with tears. The want, the woe, the desolation, were all too much for him. He shuddered at the cold, un- ! covered floor. He gazed mournfully at the empty fire-place. His eyes wandered j wonderingly over the naked walls, looking so uninviting and cheerless. Putting his hand in his pocket he grasped the coin that j his mother had that very morning given him, and drew it forth. You may have that,' said he holding it! out lo the child. 'Oh, you are too good. You are too generous, I fear!' broke in the mother, as if she ought not to take it from him. Mother will mvo me another, if I want i it said he. lt wlli do you good, take it, I take it, you shall take it and he was gone. It was a pold coin to the value of five j0jars Mother and child wept together. ti j they tukcJ of the gooJ böy whose heart had opened for them on tins New Year's day. They looked at the glistening piece. There was bread and fuel, and clothing, and every comfort w ithin its depths. They continued to gaze upon it. They saw within its rim, pictures of delight and joy. Ah! what a philosopher's stone that was! How it turned everything first into gold and then into happiness! 0, what bright rays shone forth from that trifling coin of gold! That night returned this angel boy to the bleak house, then filled with happiness, and joy; but he was not alone his mother was with him. Blessed bor! How his little heart warmed and glowed to see the chilü uncover the basket ho had brought with him and take out one bv one, the gifts which were stowed there 1 and howoverjoyed was he to see his mother offer the sick woman a new home, and see the sick woman grow suddenly strong and almost well under the influence of kind office. Years have rolled away into thc silent past. That little girl-Elsie Gray-is a j lady. Not a lady only in name, but one in every deed, in heart, and conduct. She dsvells in a suburban cottage, and her hus band is entirelv devoted lo her. The hus-!

band is no other than tho generous boyj(own of Krance tjie Florentine Princess

who on the New Years festival, accosted her so tenderly in Ihe street and went home with her. Her poor mother sleeps quietly in thc church-yard; yet she lived to knowthat God had provided for her child. She died resigned and happy. A Model Wife. A pleasant little Florentine story reached me the other day. One of our famous American sculptors, residing iu that delightful city whither all the genius of England and America seems to tend, was one day seated in his studio at work on an Apollo for which by the way he might stand as a model himself when his attention was attracted by a tremendous tramplingof horses in the courtyard. He looked out of thc window and beheld a magnificent carriage with outriders drawn up before his door. Presently a gentleman claimed admission to his studio, and announced himself as Prince di B . lie came to give tho sculptor a large commission. His daughter, who had been struck by some statues of tho American that she had seen, wished to sit to him for her bust. She was then below in the carriage. Was tho sculptor at leisure? Price was no ob ject; all that was necessary was lo gratify his daughter, who was an invalid. Tho sculptor expressed his willingness to begin tho work instantly, and the Prince, making sign to his lackeys from tho window, they proceeded to lift a lovely girl who seemed about eighteen, out of the carriage, and boro her in their arms carefully up tho 6tairs to the artist's studio. Tho sculptor could not repress a look of surprise at this curious modo of locomotion, particularly as the lady did not ber

tho slightest trace of illness in her countenance. The Prince interpreted his glancr and replied to it. My daughter has been paralized in fill her limbs,' he said, 'for two months. It is a sad thing. She has had all the medical aid in Florence, but without avail." The sculptor looked again at the invalid. Nothing more beautiful in face or form could have been dreamed by Phydias. A face like Ceuci's before it was clouded with the memory of crime, masses of rich, lustrous auburn hair, framing a clear, palo face, with deep buo eyes swimming beneath a fringe of the silkiest black lashes. Through her delicate muslin rote tllD contour of a divinely moulded form wcro indicated, and when the young Signorian cast upon the sculptor a rapid glance, soft as starlight, piercing a3 electric fire, lie felt his heart leap with a mysterious presage of some undcfinablo catastrophe.

She sat. Tho eiulptor worked at his model like one inspired, and a pang struck his heart a the hour for her retiring came. The Prince and his lackeys bore her agarn down stairs in their arms. The carriage door closed od her; and the horses swept through the gate. The sculptor worked no more that day. To morrow she was to come .vrain. O He lay awako all that night dreaming of her. Then he would shudder and say to himself, 'It is not love, but pity that I feel. Sho is a paralytic' The next day the same sconc wa3 rqated, with this exception i ltl Uie 1 nnce liavin2 seen 1113 daughter i Po5se(i by tho artist, excused himself on ! thc PIea of a business engagement, saying , um ne woum rcturu ,n tlrne to conduct his ! daughter home. Poor girl, although tho j scur was a f beauty, her I deplorable condition was, in her father's Plulon' a saieguara ag" an7 OI 1110 j dangers which he might otherwise have ' anticipated. He left the room and drove away in his carriige. A silence ensued. The sculptor dared not look at his model, but worked away on his clay image without raising his eves. Still a silence. Then it seemed as if a slight rustle had filled tho ! room. A small white hand stole across m mouth, and a burning kiss pi into I on his forehead. With almost a shriek, he leaped to Iiis feet, and there, with blushes crimsoning her pale cheeks and alabaster neck, knelt the paralytic girl, with her beautiful eyes imploring pardon. 'I saw you a long time ago,' the said (an Italian woman when she loves knows no half measure,) "and I loved you. My father was very strict with me. I could not move without being watched. It was impossible for me to meet you or see you. I feigned paralysis. For two mouths I have scarcely moved. In his pity for my condition my father relaxed his surveillance of my motions. He gratified every wish, and as an invalid I excited no suspicion by desiring to become your sitter. I havo said that I love you. If you do not return my love I can only die.' What answer made the American? We neeJ not inquirt?. only ,vll0n tho prince di Breturned, he found nothing in the studio but a clay model of his paralytic daughter. The original w as now here io be i found. A few days afterward, in a small sank her nobility in the name of an American sculptor. OF MOM.
