I remember some year since to have teen John Randolph in Baltimore. I had fre quently read and heard description of him, and one day, a I wa Handing in Maiken, now Baltimore street, 1 remarked a tall, unique looking being hurrying toward me with a quick impatient Hep, evidently much annoyed by a crowd of boy a who were fol lowing close to hi heel, not in the obstre perous mirth with which thflj would have followed a crazy or drunken man or an ar pan grinder and his monkey, but in the si lent, curious wonder with which they have haunted a Chinese bedecked in full costume. I instantly knew the individual to be Ran dolph from the description. I therefore advanced toward hin) that I might make a full observation of his person without violat ing ihe rule of courtesy in stopping lo gaie at Mm. .As fie approached, he occasionally turned toward the boys with an angry glance, but without saying, anything, and then hur ried on as if lo outstrip them;, but il would not do. They followed close on behind the orator, each one said nothing to hi compa nion. Just nelore met him he stopped at Mr. C.i a cashier of one of the banks, anid lo be as odd a fish a John himself, I loit ered in a store close by, unnoticed, remark ed the Roanoke orator for a considerable time, and really he was the strangest look ing being I ever beheld. tli long thin legs, about as thick a a strong walking-One, and of much such a nhiipe, were encased in a pair of tight small clothes, so tight that they seemed part and parcel of the limbs of ihe wearer. Hand some white stockings were fastened with great tidiness at the knees by a small gold b.uck!e,' and over them, coming about half j a ay up the calf, were a pair of whal I be- Neve are called hose, and country knit. lie wore shoes. They were old-fashioned and fastened only with buckles, huge ones. He trod like en Indian, without turning his toes out, but planking them downtraight ahead. It was the fashion in those day to wear a fan-tailed coat with a small collar snd but tons far apart behind, and a few on th breast. Mr. Randolph s were the reverse of all this,' snd, Mislead of his coat being fantailed, it was what we believe the knighw of the needle call swallow-tailed: the collar was immensely large, the buttons behind were in kissing proximity, and they sat together as close on the breast, a the feastcrs at a crowded public festival. His waist wa re markably slender so slender that, js ho stood with. his arms akimbo he couldwily, ta I thought, with liis long bony hiigtr, have spanned it Around him his coat, which was very tight, wa held together bv on button, and in consequence, an in'h or more 01 tape to which it was atttched was perceptible where it was pulled through the cloth. About his nrek he wore a large white cravat, in which his chin was occa sionally buried as he moved his head in con versation; no shirt collar wsi perceptible) every other person seemed to pride himself upon tne size of his, a tlieywere worn large. Mr. Randolph's complexion was precisely that or a mummy, withered, sallrpt), dry and bloodless; you could not have pUced a pirv's Eoini upon hi lac where you would not ave touched a wrink'e. . II is Hps were thin, - .1 I ' , -t - "it; 1. J cuu'presaeu ana cotoncss; ine cnin, oearu- less a a boy's, was broad for the size or hi face, which was small: hisnoae wa straight, with nothing remarkable in it, except it was too short. He wore a fur eap, which he took off, standing a. few minute, uncovered.' I observed that hit hetd was .quite small A BIRD S NEST. V What does the bird of nastacre do? He goes restlessly wandering about Ihe world, seeking for himrelf a place where he may build for himself a home to dwell in sinee he rind no rest; and who indeed doe, nntil he hat found a home, a little woId for him self, in which after his own desires he mav live in rest and freedom! And when he line found a spot or tree in which he will abide, then carries he together leaves - and wool and siiaw, and builds for himself a hornet there he can rest, sit up aloft in his nest, lookout upon the world below, and sing; and soiill the next tune ol hi wandering, '- . : ... . 7 TJfK UM.DII BJAHHlAua, IK you wish to loam the true value of marriage, if yott wish to see whit this union may be for' two human heart for life, then observe not the wetiuVtrtanes in their honey moon, nor by the cradla-of their firt ehilth not at a time when novelty and hope yet throw a Doming glory over the young aud oetwJanrn wnrLI f, hornet but SUrvwjr-ilmm rather in Ihe remote year or . manhood, when they have proved the world and each other, when they have conquered many aa er ror and many a temptation, in order to be come only tbe more united to each other; when labors and care are theirs; when, un der the burden of the day, as well at in hours ofrepos', they support one another, and find that thev ate sufficient for each other. Or survey them still further in life, see them arrived at that period when the world, with ail its changes and agitations, rolls far away from them, becomes ever dimmer lo them; when their house iaveiill, when they are solitary, yet stand there hand in hand, and each leads in the other's eyes only love; when they with the same mem ories snd the. same hoprt, stand on th boundaries of another life, into which they are prcpaiod lo enter, of all lhadeaireaof this being retained only -the one, that they may die on the same day ret. thcnl)eliofd them!
