Lee Was residing in a small, .fieat, and well appointed house situate below the American camp, and on a spot which Gen f Washington, in journeying to and fro to keep a look-out up on various mevements. and the, pursuit of his arduous dunes was often obliged to.iiass. Lee had a favorite dog here, (among half a dozen.) apt an aid-de-camp whose devotion merited much praise. One day the aid-de-camp hand ed him a document in whielt he read that Con gress had approved the sentence of the court martial in his case. lie had eoofidently relied upon support from that body iri'lhe shape of modification or a reversal of that decision ; and when he learned that he was quietly permitted to rusticate inactively a year, he startup in a passion to his 'favorite specimen oe ca; e, nine race, and embraced it ! - " Sir, I beg pardon," stammered the aston idled aide, - but surely yoUr mind is not over thrown or embittered by this news I" Disappointed and outragled, sir !" exclaim ed Lee. •• Oh. that were'this dog, tilt I might not call man my brother r From that moment the centured officer be came more . 04n - felons and disagreeable in his wild freaks than ever. • Two days after, he was aroused from his moody apathy by the arrival, at his house, of Washinton,. Generals Dickinson. Wayne„ Maxwell. and Cadwalla der. and Col. Morgan, with other officers of distinction. Welcome !" said Lee, its .the suite fill ad Its apartment, and thel:liena of the party were (awn of Walcoinelo my bumble habits• tton.'' "01 course," said Washington, ,afTably, " you can give us a dinner !" " Ay, r dinner !" cried NN'tyne—" a quiet, domestic dinner, such as we, who know .what it is to be without, one .frequontly, can tho. toughly appreciate." Here Lee was all that constitutes the gentle man. Not crippled in hie private resources, possessing economy; prudence and domestic tart, and understanding the precise manner of of procuring the comforti of life to the best possible advantage, he soon caused a substan tial and elegant repass to be spread before his brother patriots. There, - " said he, when all was announced to be in readiness, " we have fought and bled togethrr—let us now eat and drink in harmo ny and may the only fluid shed between Ws be a bumper of good Madeira." There was a jovial reunion in that little country house on that day in 1788. Stern Of ficers, who had cooly ordered thousands of their fellow brings to slaughter of 'be slaugh tered—who had madly rode over the prostrate forms Of the dead and dying—who, in the fierreockcitement of battle, hail frit, _ without emotion, the hot blood of friends and foes plash in their very facesilaxed from their accus tomed :ravity of thought. and yielded them- Selves o the genial influences of good cheer , and nviviality. Even Lee, who was seldom se. Irt smile, beheld the disapp earaoc his rlibles and drinkable!' with a mirthful face. and er:cked jokes and bottles with equal faeility, Many were the toasts offerid and accepted— all perininally , complimental or patriotic in. their tone, of course. Leeliad expatiated in glow ing terms,, upon thj i warm-hearted frankness and generou's bravery of 'Baron Beidesel, when Washington spoke with earnestness. •• There at -m men among our enemies," said he, wham i admire for their many goo qualities. The chivalry and high estimat; of honor practiced by some of the king's oileers is. hoWever, more than counterbalanceeby the cruelty, tyrannical bias, and disregard of the recognized principles. of warla / m evinced by ufthers." In which category:* inquil.ed Lee, "does y t ur excellency place the haren T" "'ln neither." ' replied Washington. .. He fi hts well, and he never follows up a victori ous movement by unnecessary brutality ; but helis a mercenary, fighting a * t a people who irt struggling to he fr witl ut offering the slightest obstrele to him or his." .• And fair that ought to be condemned:' re marked Ciclwallader. '" MY opiniol to a fraction," said Dickin son : and all expressed coincident sentiments.. .'

I This speech 'w received with the silent ap plause begot by in ease admiration, and it was some time ere that silence was broken. - Lee sat a few minuteOn moody abstraction, from which he was arou ls ed by the hand of Wash ington. gently placed upon his shoulder. " Well, well," said Lee, his eountenan • • brightening,, ~ there is no, one like you ; I have never'ib my travels encountered a single being who possessed the like consideration of '.the policy of life.- I praised Reidesel because his gobduct 40,ms. when I was caged and clip 'ped 4.in the city. tonAed my heart and gave htrth to a deep feeling, of gratitude. I never forget a kindness." : "'Come then," said Washington.

S. GOODRICH & SON. c;3l The tout was drank. but without any show of enthusium. The.conviiality 3f the asem bly had vanished ; ,for Lee's discomfauresand uneasiness were so' manifest, that his guests could not avoid noticing it. It was with the most scrupulous ceremony. and with genuine ly-frigid politeness. that Washington and his suite were seen to mount tkeir horses, and were waved away from the dociMrom whence they galloped to perform thle duties which cal led tb m forth; Le watches them until they were beyond the nge of his vision, when he raddeoly turtle • i n to the .aid-de-camp, and thus . addresfsed 'him," a harsh and petulant tone : 1 " /4011 must look me another place. for I shall have Washington and all his puppies con tinually calling on me, and. if they do. they will eat me up." He then retired to rest, smothering, as • ell as was possible, the effects of wounded prit resentment of,declarations which, in his pro per frame of mind, he would have sanctioned, and the pains of outraged avarice. Early the next day. the sun shining bright. ly, and the atmosphere as ;clear as that of Ita ly. Washington rind his suite rode in the same direction. On the night before,a couple of 'scout ing parties--one from our camp and one from the city—had Anet and engaged. and in ; the en counter both parties suffered much. •although the Americans contrived to mike an of f icer of the enemy. prisoner. He had been forced to give information concerning the strength of the English army, the disposition of their lines, and other communications of minor impor tance, and had been confined in a little stone building on the Bronx river, whither Wash ington was going to question him. When in sight of Lee's house, Washington turned to his staff, and said laughingly • " Poor Lee was mortified yesterday. q e as much by the havoc we made in his ewe' of provisions as by my failure to endorse the manliness of his friend in all its length and breadth. We ad know his peculiarities-- And we have a little amusement at his expense to day ?" Of course all consented.• I would not willingly pain him, for he has many good qualities—nctt the least are his coolness and intrepidity irilaction,',4 continued Washington. '• But we may. without positively commit ting a wrong. call upon him ?" remarked Max well. • .• Certainly gentlemen, certainly." said Washington. urging his horse forward. 4. and we will do so. It will afford us a pleasant relief." But Lee had noticed their approach as they conversed, and immediately rushed to his %yri ting desk, called his servant, and gave hasty orders, after tracing a line of char .., , r . upon a slip / of paper. and givingit. " W shall see !—we shall see." Lee, ervously pacing the a. vuu,...., watchin the approach of the ood natured of ficers and their great eon).. nder. " whether I sin to be, besieged and i. aded. and driven out of my own retreat !" The servant her returned. 1 " You have 'one what I ordered you ?" cried he, Mtn , ogatively. "I have " Th. if he :r ' ,r- you; may retire." Lee chuckled as ad accomploahed a wonderful feat.

Washington looked, and beheld an inscrip tion chalked awkardly across the pannels, and reading in this style-- " NO WICTVALII DRESSED HMS TO DAT." During the revolution we do not believe, if descriptions of the scene may be'credited. that American Accra ever indulged in a heartier burst of merriment. With many jeu iresprils the troops rode off. their laughter pealing in Lee's ears for ten minutes. Thank Heaven," exclaulird he, cor moranta ae gone." At this moment firing was heard in the di rection of New York. That afternoon _ Lee burning with impatience to learn th e si nifica. tion of the belligeren t . sounds. watch with anxiety for the return of the brave patriots whom he had so foolishly insulted. As they neared hisihrouse, lie could not co uer the impulse to rush forth,' uncovered and ask the information for which he was so much dis tressed. - 4.A dinner ! a dinner 1" cried what of the oficers, ...

There are a-few places yet left in Boston, of universal interest. f - p - issed one of the chief eat yesterday., in Hanover street, which I sup pose suggested the train of thought (if such discursive; ramblings deserve the name) in the latter. Do you see that house at the eoraer of Hanover and Union streets, with ti gilt ball pro truding from its corner, diagonally into the street 1 It has no architectural pretensions to arrest a passer-by. It is a plain brick house, of three stories, with small windows, close to gether, and exceeding small panes of glass in them.the walls of a dingy yellow. Yet it is ha - use swarming with associations interesting to well nurtured minds throughout the civilised world. Read the name upon the ball and you will get an inkling of my meaning—•" J as FRANIKI.M. Yes, that is the ve roof under which Benjamin Franklin grew .He was not, born there, but his father moved thither when he was but six months od, so that all his recollections id home must have been connected with those walls. The 'side of the house of Union street remains as it was in the days of Franklin's boyhood ; but that on Hanover street. has been shamefully treated. Nearly the whole front has' been cot off to make room for two monstrously disproportion ed show windows. And this house, so full, 'as I have just said. of associations, is fuller vet of bonnets ! Yee, by the head of the Prophet, of bonnets It is a. Bonnet Warehouse, and from the inordinate windows, aforesaid, bon- . eta of all hues and shapes ogle you with side long glances, or else stare_you openly out of countenance, while mountain piles of band boxes tower to the ceiling of the'upper story, eloquent, like Faith, of things unseen. Hea ven forbid that I should say anything in dero gation of bonnets.any more than of the fair heads that wear them, but I would that they had an other repository. It was my good fortune to go over the house before it had undergone this metamorphosis.— It was oecupied, in Vail at least, soiue eight or ten yearn ag9 by colored man, of the name of Stewart, a dea rin old clothes.' who thought of buying . th premises, and wanted my advice about it. gladly availed myself of the op. portun" to view them. The interior of the hon was then. I should judge, in the same e. dition them was when the worthy old soap .oiler and that sturdy rebel. (in youth as in age,) his world-famous son lived there. There were the very room s in-which the child Frank lin played, the very stairs. u' au dr4lonnwhich he romped, the very, window seats on which he stood to look out into the street, The shop on the street was unquestionably the place where he used to cut wicks for the candles, and fill the moulds, and wait opon the customers. I pleased myself with imagining which room EMI it was•in which his father sat. patriarch like, at his table. surrounded by his thirteen children. all of whom ‘• grew up to years of maturity and were married." And you may be sure I did not fail to take a peep into the cellar, where poor Richard, in his infantile economy of time proposed to his father that he should say grace over the whole barrel of beef they were putting down, in the lump, instead of over each piece in detail as it was brought on; the table !' A proposition, which , inclined the good brother of the Old South Church to fear that his youngest hope was given over to a reprobate mind. and was but little better than one of the wicked. Arid I would have given a trifle to know which of the chambers it war that was Frank lin's own, where be educated himself, as it were, by stealth. Where he used to read " Bunsen's works, in separate little volumes." —and Barton's Historical Collections—"small Chapman's books and cheap ; forty volumes in all,"—and Plutarch'a i Lives—not to men tion " a book of Do Foe's, called An Essay on Projects." and " Dr. Mather's, called An Es say to do Good," and where, too, his lamp (or more probably his. candle's end) was " oft seen at midnight hour," as he sat up the greater part of the night 'devouring the books which his friend. theitninkseller's apprentice. used to lend him. over eight. out of the shop, to be re= turned the next morning.
