Nkw York, Feb. 14, \m. En. MU vs: I Lave just returned from the *» Hub of the Universe," as Oliver W Holmes called the city of Boston, Massachusetts; I sort of fell in love with it, will drop and you a column or two for a valentine. 7 left Uns city at four P M. by a Long Island berat and cars from some place on the main land, discount us. I hardly know how to boil it down—1 mean all I d like to say about Roe , ton ; to me, tho place is the most suggestive I ever saw. Then* is something historical, traditional, actual, or what not, shout it, that I don't know how to begin—yet I must | say that I more than like Boston. Fome fellow who didn't like Dr Fell, tried to tell him so. but got as near to it a« I will in tell ing you why I like Boston : *• I do not like you, Dr. Fell, The reason why, 1 cannot tell; -, and know* full well, I do not like you, Dr. Kell." I I j In the first place, Boston has more streets for its sixe, and the crook edest of any town In tho world. The inhabitant# boast of this, But thia 1 k and unies« you acknowledge, to getting lost five or six times before breakfast, they'll be apt to snuhh you the first opportunity. 1 accomplished this feat, as Billy Birch would j say, " quietly and easily," and didn't know the requirements of the place till afterwards; hence I was treated an appreciative cuss, and was even asked where I came from, and whether there were many Democrats there. I told them there wore the offices ; Hint the Republicans had so much other business to do that paid better j and didn't want office ; that Idaho was prin nrly enough to hold eipdly made up of Union refugees from Missouri, and on the whole I knew of no place so thoroughly and hopefully Republi can. This let me into the good graces of both male anil female Huhhists. I was toll by a nice member of the Young Men's Chris tian Association that Boston contains about j an, and «11 with "oil in their lamps." j ; thoroughly ■ five females to one male—five virgins to young There are no foolish «mes thci iriirk* .moll ol miclniilit educated, and their oil.

Th«*re is a big Catholic Hunker Ilill proper, which was a Church curious innovation on su« h sacred Puritanic grounds. I was directed to a slight ridge of earth, as the last of tbe Yankee redoubt; and the. spot where "General Warren fell*' is marked by a stone slab, though his head an«! the ground s»«!«*liiig, I couldn't see With a bullet rhat would hinder him or any Tlie monumt nt is on«? elm* iron» fulling over 225 f«*et high, is or granite and looks at a distune * l«kc a big chimney of the old It wi fislii'inod HU-am sawmill oni^r raiKc.l by Daniel Webster and »-veral other from which event women's old women, rights look a Mart.

I bave earth read the account carefully, and conclude it to have lieen the toughest struggle ever made But I notice ono item 1 by any Americans. recollect of wading before—tho Brit their first coining and assault, only never isb, on had a lew canuoo-sbot that fitted their riege guns; a mortal mistake on the part or their chief Of ordnance.

But I think Bo-ton Is just as well satisfied, because the " p*tti«*oafs." ns the British railed their subjects, made a better stand on lower ground—nu in? to their mod esty in ibnwi days. If you can t see the point to this. I refer you to some history of th* time; and I will cross bark to Boston and ; oT west to Cambridge where R Irvard ^n' , . „ _ ' lege is, and where George Washington took • t command of the armies beneath a big slip pery elm tree^at least, it was covered with ice the dav I saw it.
