It lias been common to suppose that Patrick Henry, " the naturul orator," ns ho Is popu larly called, was very slightly, If at all, Indebt ed lor his wonderful eloquence to thoso sources of mental culture which nro hold In highest es teem, ns at onco tho models of taste and tho In struments or learning. It seems, however, that this opinion is unfounded, and that the American iletnosthencs Is nu cxeepttou to the great law which affirms that " tha gods give nothing to men without labor." From nu In teresting nnd instructive oration delivered by Mr. Hugh Ulnlr Grlgsby, before tho students of William nnd Mary College, 011 tho Fourth of July last, we clto the following statement In reference to tho literary stylo mm curly classi cal proficiency of Patrick Henry 1 Onaliutaiicaof Iho application of philo logy to tha history of Virginia, Is within my own experience, niul may not 00 w llhout inter est, to tho students or William and Mary. From a critical examination of tha fragments of tha speeches and writings of Patrick Henry which havo como down to us, and by a careful collation of them with thusu of prominent con temporaries, I was convinced that our Patriot Prophet had received regular and thorough training in tho Latin classics, and that he hail received that training In curly life. There wns to bo seen In his stylo a ' niriovi fdicitin' and a ' tttUiddjiinctura,' 11 purify uud 11 tact which could not lie tho result of chance, or they would have been equally apparent In tha works of his rivals ntul it was evident, so finely were llieso characteristics Interwoven In the general texture of his style, that hu must have studied tho ancient uitihors in curly lift1) as such results rarely appear so conplciiouly iu tha productions of those who become acquaint ed with thu classics nt a more advanced ugc. This was O10 argument of Internal evidence an argument which was satisfactory to me, but which, without mi infinitely mlnuto exposition of details that nona but ti philologist could comprehend, would not bu conclusive to others. It would thus be regarded rather as nu opinion than 11 demonstration ; nnd must, therefore, sustain my conclusion, for tha benefit of the others, from the facts uf Henry's early life. " Ills father was u teacher und a native of .Scotland, iin.1 he was uiliitiiteil lu that country when l.itln was taught with substantial skill, but in tnv vtnr.s before the sun nf Greek liter- nturu had rU-ti in the Scottish horizon. Now, thu Seolh tench Latin ut Ihu tcudcrcst ago. 1 11111 myself of Scottish ileicenl 011 thu mater nal ride, nnd was taught by Scottish teachers, and 1 nm hardly remember 11 lime when I could not reud l.itln, or at least when I was not familiar with tho grmumer. Hut the father of I lenry was not only 11 teacher and 11 Scotch linn, hut hu was 1111 ndmlmhlu l.itln tchnlar; for wu uro told iu thu diary nf Samiiol Davis, hlmk'lf 11 this scholar, tint thu father of Henry was hnru familiar with his Horace than with his lllble. Hence the conclusion was Irresist ible that. If tho father of llenrv t night Ills p.iplis the comics, hu would, llku the rest of inn co.iuiryuieit, ic.ieu itieui vany ; mm, m nu vvus prnvid to havo been thoroughly skilled In th -nt thai If haitaiu1ilwi s'iIMa ii nf fctlirr p.'opTu Latin, he would at tho a.imi lima teach It's own. This was the argument from prohi- billty, which 1 did not ii-evd to enhance my own conviction, but which might be necessary to gain thu assent of otlurs. Here. then, vvus 11 l.tet neortnlueil lu tho life nf Patrick Henry, which was not only not known, hut which run counter to the opinions und statements of all nts coicmpornrics aim umgrupiicrs. nut was my opinion true, after all It was strictly true In liulti resiiccls, that our great orator had tear lie, I tho J-itin classics, und that hu had learned them In early life ; for in the recently puuifshetl iliary 01 John Attains, umler the date of September, 1771, wu havo It from the Up, or Henry himself, that Uoit fifteen he had re.i't Yirgnuti'i i.ivv u ii.-grea 01 proticieucy which, cviu In this day. except under favorable umpire's, is rarely attained ut so early an uge 1 lor, iieiwccn me grammar mm i.ivy, us was Crowded Sleeping Bad Ventilation.

The daughter Is the wire of tho dev. Mr. Drawer, of New Haven, Couu. These were the children, uud then thero vvero thirteen grand sons and thir teen grand-daughters, with two great graud sous, making tho fourth gcucratlou present at tho gathering. It won't not bo well to enter tho sacred pre cincts of tho family circle. What transpired there is not for tlio publio eyo or car. Hat nh.it occurred outdoors, bevoud the fireside, may bo recorded. Tho gathering took place in Stockbridgo on Saturday, and on Suuday all assembled In tho old parish church. Itev.

FoMTB.sr.ss. In politeness as In many other things conuee'ed with tho formatlou of character, peoplo iu general begin outside, when they should begin iusldo ; Instead of be ginning with the heart, and trusting that to form tho manners, they begin with the mind, and trust the heart to change tho Influences. Tho golden rule contains tho very life and sola of politeness. Children may be taught to mako a graceful courtesy, or a gentlemanly bow j but unless they havo likewise been taught to abhor what is selfish, and always prefer another's comfort and pleasure to their owu, their polite ness will bo entirely artificial, and used only when it is their interest to iiso it. On tho other hand, a truly benovoleut, kind-hearted person, will always bo distinguished for what Is called uativo politeness, though entirely ig uoruut of the conventional forms of society.
