But I am getting off from my story. I was saying that my young friend resided on the "new-land"--no; the "Mill-Pond; "--well, it's all the same--for when they dug down old Beacon Hill, they threw the dirt into the Mill-Pond, and when it was filled up, or made land, the spot was still known as the Mill-Pond, and oftentimes was called the new-land. In later years, there have been other portions added to the city, by making wharves, and filling up where the tide used to ebb and flow, and where large vessels could float.
