for a Town Hall, or Corinthian, appropriate for a Dancing Hall; &c The style is a sort of modification of the Gothic, properly called the Romaic a favorite of the said Upjohn, and like the Gothic peculiarly appropriate for the house of God. Every cities' taste I believe assigns the Gothic with its pointed arches, its shadowy isles, it high windows, its spires piercing the skies, as the perfection of taste for the Temple of the Christian God. The Romaic with the same general character, the same severe proportions and lofty, heavenly grandeur is equally adapted to the same purpose, with the benefit of greater variety, and greater capacity of adaptedness to different circumstances of time, place, and purpose.

What is it compared with "stiff, sore & lame" Appraising values any how, a piece of machinery like the human system, with such an Architect. So expensive, so perfectly finished, so nicely adjusted, so unrivalled in its uses, so astonishing in its adaptations; what is it "worth"? How shall be estimated its careless or improper use? Exposure use &c. until its joints dry & the edges irritated, the muscles stretched, stiff hard, & the nerves irritated & worn. He who does this is not only careless & improvident, but wicked. In pleasant weather, in the summer season, with a plenty of spare time, some money & a proper disposition, I would blame no one for walking The Country is at any time not very promising between P. & B.
