She was very emall, not over eight years old, with a face of striking beauty; her eyes large and black; bor hair floating in reven ringlets wildly over her shoulders: her dress very spare, and though soiled by the present muddy state of streets, yet neat and tidy. Her bare feet, her little bood, and the thin, insufficient frock be- spoke her to be the child of poverty and want.

The fellow’s name was Duffy Glicker—a stout, heavy, burly brute, in the prime of physical life, and known to the police as = low gambler, thief and bully.

As ex-Governor Pattersoa very truly remarked to your correspondent, the man who after having’ been successful abroad, remembers and benefits the place of his birth, must have some good streaks in his heart. We agree with the Governor, and it isthe highest proof of Mr. Peabody’s patriotism that he has declined all public receptions, save that at his native Danvers is distinguished for haying been the birth- place of Mr. Peabody—for the excellence of its leather— the patriotism of its tanners—the birthplace of Eliza Wharton, whose tombstone may be seen here, chipp- ed to fragments by large numbers of sentimental young lovere—and for the undying devotion of its popula- tion (about ten thousand souls) to Mr. Fremont. It is one of the most thriving, populous, enterprising and de- termined of New England villages. Peabody, to-day, proves the truth of all I have said. Why should Danvers honor Mr. Peabody? because Mr. George Peabody has honored Danvers. Peabody was born here, and finding, like most New Epgland men, that his mother would do nothing for him, struck out a pew path. He went abroad; he made him- self a great man; he dined with dukes, lords, baronets and members of the Imperial Parliament, but he did not forget the leather vats, in the midst of which he was born. So he did something nice for Danvers, as we shall Its reception of Mr. ‘When the centennial anniversary of the incorporation of Denvers was celebrated, June 16, 1852, Mr. Peabody was invited to come from London and join in the festivi- ties of the occasion; and failing in this, he was requested by the town committee to send a letter signifying his in- terest in the celebration. He did send a letter, on the envelope of which was the following endorsement :— The seal of this is not to be broken till the toasts are being at the dinner, 16th of June, at Dan- vers, in coramemoration of the oxe hundredth year sini Itcontatns a sentiment for the occa: proposed by the chairman severence from Salem. sion from George Peabody, of Loudon. ‘When, in the course of the centennial proceedings, the proper moment for opening the packet had arrived, the seal was broken, and the following lettor waa read, aad received with loud acclamations:— By George Peabody, of London—Education—A debt due from present to tuwure generations.

Mr. Peabody subsequently added ten thousand dollars to his fret donation; the whole to be #0 expended that seventeen thousand doilars should be appropriated for the Iand and building, three thousand to the purchase of books, as the foundation of a library, and ten thousand to remain as a permanent fund. The corner stone of the Peabody Institute was laid Avgust 20, 1863, with appropriate ceremonies. Sylvester Proctor, who had been selected by Mr. Peabody to per- form the leading part, waa dead, and Abbott Lawrence, ‘an intimate friend of Mr. P., officiated in his place. Rufus Choate delivered an eloquent address on the occasion. The structure was dedicated September 29, 1854. It isa beautiful building in its architectural design and propor- tions, built of brick, with ornaments of brown freestone from Portiend, Connecticut, The upper part of the edi- fice, which is eighty-two by fifty feet, is occupied ass lecture hall, capable of accommodating eight hundred persons. Over the rostrum isa magnificent full length portrait of Mr. Peabody—one of the best productions of Healy's pencil, The picture was ordered by the citizens of Danvers, but when it was finished Mr. Peabody, with his accustomed liberality, insisted on presenting it to the committee; which is if In the lower story is the library, which consists of 700 volumes, 2,500 ef which were presented by the founder of the institute.
