WEBSTERS'S REPLY TO HAYNE

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Atlas relates an anocJole in relation
TO the celebrated reply Of Mr.. Webster to
MIR. llaync, that has never before been pub
lshcd. At the time Mr.. Ilaync made his
attack, Mr.. Gales Of the National lntcll-
gcncer, who has been the most accomplished
reporter IN the country, Glanced TO be in the
Capitol. Hearing that Mr.. Webster intend
ed to reply, and being told by him that it
would be short one, he undertook once
more his long neglected vocation Of a rcpor-
ter. Instead, however. of consuming about
half an hour, as Mr.. Webster had promised
in tie commencement, as is well known, the
Scna,e adjourned before he had finished
MIR. Gales continuing to take note of every
word, in the momentary expectation Of his
concluding.
Unwllingto leave off before Mr.. Webster
had finished, Mr.. Gales continued the next
day until he had concluded. But when he
came TO look at the notes the magnitude of
the task that it would be to write them out,
appeared so formidable, that he shrunk from
il as an mpo Utility, With the many otter en-
gagements that occupied his time.
Soon after, Mr.. Webster called upon Mr..
Gales to request report of his speech, as it
was impossible for the former to give any
thing beyond mere sketch, having spoken
unpremedlal ~, and 10 much greater length
than he had any expectation of doing when
he began. Mr.. Gales expressing his utter
in ability to comply, his lady, who had been
in the habit of assisting her husband IN read
ing his notes when reporter, undertook the
task, and in the course of aweel Mr., Gales
submitted to Mr.. Webster a FIJI report of his
speech in the hand writing of his wife. 1t
will be remembered that the speech of Mr.
Webster was not published until after delay
of several weeks. 1t was owing to '''cSc
/ circumstances MIR. Gales has now in his pos
session the notes, handsomely bound,
1t is stated that Mr.. Webster did nv, NOT
change five words in the whole report ms
is one of very few instances on record IN
which we have a master piece OF oloquence,
taken down n, it fell from the lips of the
speaker.

"Thou gone rest in a far brighter land,
Thou hast entered the mansions of glory and bliss,
In that radient cline with the seraphim band
Thou Orgettost the thoms and tho shadows of this:
Oh, who can deplore thee ask thy recall,
Thus early unettcrd, forever made free
Or wish thee again in the worlds bitter thrall?
We may weep for ourselves, but weep for thee.
"Thy black eye is dim--there is damp on thy brow
The rose-huo of health, it has faded away;
How peacefully, dear one, thou slumberest now;
Neught, nough can awake thee, darkness day.
The heart that was beating with Kindness alone
Is sul,-all its throbbings forever DER,
And the voice that loved for its sweetness of tone,
Alas we may list to its music
"Iiow short was thy sojourn how brief was thy stay
summer of beauty, season of love-
Bright forms that we know not have called thee away,
And wings that we heard not have borne thee above;
Thou vert snatchcd from the the
Their whitening blight lite's brighter years
Thy Father hath saved thee from anguish below,
And thy home is a region meier darken'd by tears.
"Farewell gentle spirit, thy memory must be
Enshrined in the hearts that remember thy worth;
Farewell, the spring flowers awake not for thee,
Nor smiles for shine eye the fresh beauty of earth;
The summer will fling its bright treasures of bloom,
And scatter its rosos perchnnce, on thy grave
There's land which is brighter beyond the dark tomb
Where the flowers fuirer than earth ever gave.
And there thou bessed-couldst thou whisper us now
Thou wouldst bid us rejoice that thy spirit is Free
Woudst teach in humble submission to bow
And yield us in faith Fathers decree
Thou wOuldst bid us look to that radient shore,
No'er shaded by sorrow darkness, pain,
Aud say, when few heeng DER,
In gladness and light we shall meet thee again."

Lime in planting Trees An English piper says
that large plantation OF trees, within few years,
has been formed without the loss of a single tree
aud this has been achieved by simple process
it is merely putting small quantity of lime in the
hole with The plant. About four bushels of lime
will suffice for an acre. 1t must be thoroughly
mixed and Incorporated with the mould before
the plant is inserted. The effects of lime is to
push on the growth of The plant in the first precari-
Gus state; new fibres begin to form and ramiiy from
the sap-root and not only is the safety assured, but
its growth is advanced in double ratio. There ex-
listed, at first, an apprehension that lining the
plant would force it on prematnrely, bui this ap-
prehension is proved to have been groundless.

was so circumslanced that | had not, and could
not hire oxen to perform the labor of treading
the clay; but il occurred to me that my own and
my neighbor's hogs might be induced to perform
that labor. accordingly prepared the bed with
clay, and threw over it the necessary quantity of
water to render the clay plastic, and then strewed
over The mass peck of shelled corn and drove
he hogs CT 10 iiia bed. in pursui, OF the corn,
they commenced with avidity the labor of roofing
up and reading out the clay, and in the course o.
very little time, the entire bed of clay was tho
roughly reduced into the most uniform and plas-
tic mortar. When the hogs tagged u little, a few
more handslull of corn was slrewed upon the
clay bed, and they resumed their labor with re-
newed vigor. This hint may prove useful to
brick makers and others who may have occasion
to prepare large quantities of clay for making
bricks or other purposes, and who have not oxen
TO perform the labor.-.N E. Farmer

Take of your Potatoe blossoms a lille labor
weH paid lor-lt has been long known that crops
OF any kind, which perfect and rpen their seeds
before they are removed, take up and appropriate
vast deal more nutrirnent (which they derive
from the soil) than those crops which are removed
before the seeds are perfected. This conclusion
looks reasonable at first sight; for the Seeds
which are the most nutritious part of the plant,
can't be formed without much food being for
warded from the earth for that purpose. Hence
the exhaustion of the soil by the ripening of the
crop. When crop of grass is cut before the
seeds are fully developed, the ground will be
found 10 have parted with much less portion of
its fertility and this is the reason of grain crop
exhausting the soil much more than grass
crop. The following curious and important ex-
tract from foreign Journal is practical lustra-
ton of the above principle. AN. ZeIer, director
OF The Agricultural Society of Darmstadt, in 1889
planted two pats of ground of The same size, with
potatoes When. the plants had Powered, the
blossoms were removed from those in one field
while those in the other were left untouched to
perfect their seed. The former produced 476
pounds-the latter 437 pounds" -Eamer's Cabi-

Keeping Farm Accounts. Let any farmer make
the experiment, and he will find it as Interesting
as it is useful and both interesting and useful to
know from year to year the actual product of his
farm. Let every thing, therefore, which can be
measured aud weighed, be measured and weigh
ed and let that which cannot be brought to an
exact standard, he estimated as if he himself were
about TO sell or purchase il. Let him likewise,
near as possible, measure the ground which he
plants, the quantity ofseed which he uses, and the
manure which he applies. The labor of doing
this is nothing compared with tho satisfaction of
having done il, and tho benefits which must arise
from it. Conjecture in these cases, is perfectly
wild'and uncertain, varying often with different
individuals almost hundred per cent. Exact
ness enables man to form conclusions, which
may most essentially, and in innumerable ways,
avail to has advantage.
