Daniel Webster's Habits of Life.

MT. Webster was sixty years old last February. During the whole active peri od of hIS lie he has risen very early, and does so stiIl-oftener up before five o'clock than alter ii--and getting through more work before the majority of lawyers and statesmen have breakfasted than most of the better sort of them do in the whole day. In the summer season, when he is at Marsh field or at Franklin, he is generally out among his~fue cattle, for his pleasure and health, by foor o'clock in the morning; and in the Gess es,s of the forenoon. he often walks more tn,ies with lis gun ou Msshoul- der, or catches more fish than most young sportsnen canin twice the time. His spir- tsare generally fresh, and for his years gay, except when anxious about the business of the country, his external senses are unim- paired; he is as quick Of hearing as he ever was, much more so than some men like to have him; and he can read the finest print without spectacles as he could at twenty h short, his physical powers are preServed Co c degree most extraordinary, considering his age; and, as to his intellectual faculties, his marvellous memory, the promptnesS with which he can command all his vast resources, his wise judgment of affairs, his massive power-never so formidable as when assailed all these are untouched, and fill with wonder all who approach him.

Horrible Dream.

We once heard Imaginable joke which q henpecked husband got upon his Mrs. Cau- de. He had bore her railngs for many a long year, till, one morning, while she was clustering away about wood, short of pota- toes, flour, etc, he remarked very pathetic ally:
 "Jerush, I had dream last night-a very queer one-and it gives me some uneasi-- ness. dreamed thatf was taken sick and died"
 "Well, if it was no more than that,'' said the wife, 'I wish it had been more than dream"
 "But this is not all," said the husband, "I went to hell, and when got there en- quired of one of the imps for the old devil himself and was shown to his presence. The old fellow recognized me at once, and said to me: Have you come here 10 stay" l told him had" Well, can't have you here,' said he, TOT 1 if you stay, when Jerush dies she'll come and hell will be in an uproar all the tlme?
 Soon after the completion of the narrative of the dream there came shower o1 cum arv utensils about his head, which made him seek quarters elsewhere, till his Jefusi' 3 wrath subSided. | ~~~~~~~-~~~-~-~ nP Confde not in him who has onc7 I deceived you,

q MerrV Heart.

'1'is well to have merry hears, How ever short we stay; There's wisdom in merry heart, Whate'er the world may say. Philosophy may lift it's head
 And find out many a flaw, But give me the philosophy
 That's happy with straw! If life but brings us happiness It brings us, we are told, What's hard to buy, though rich ones try With all their heaps ofgold! Then laugh away--let others say,
 Whate'er they will of mirth; Wbo laughs ,iIe zIost may truly bvuss He's got the wealth of earth! There's beauty in merry laugh. A moral beauty too It shows the hearts an honest heart That's paid each man his due. And lent share of what's to spare Despite of wisdom's fears; And make the cheek less sorrow speak, The eye weep fewer tears. The sun may shroud itsefin cloud! The tempest wrath begin; It finds spark to cheer the dark, Its sunlight is within Then laugh away--Iet others say Whate'er they will of mirth; Who laughs the most may truly boas. He's got the wealth of earth

H0W . Headlsss Han Feels.

Some oi the most eminent physiologis.s
 Of the present day have been lately atga-
 mendng the very curious question as to
 whether a man feels after his head is off,
 And this inquiry is considered by it's con-
 ductors to be of more than physiological iu- terest, because it involves refined principles
 of humanity with regard to the punishment
 of death by the guillotne.
 Il is considered on all sides that the body does not feel one instant after decapitation; for the brain being the seat of sensation 10 the whole frame, through the medium of tdl zDi4al marrnw. euery part of the body beneath the point at which the latter may
 be divided, must be deprived of feeling But it by no means follows that the head is deprived of sensation immediately after de- capitallon, nor that it may not retain it's consciousness, and like the head of the Irish Knight, who was killed by Saladin in the holy war, get up and declare that it was never cut oil by so sweet a cimetar before nor like that of the assassin Legare, swear roundIy at the eXecutioner for not keeping a keener axe; but it is quite possible that it may be troubled with very serious refec- tions upon the irrevocabiIity of its fate and the awfulness of it's deprivation.
 In support of this unpleasant theory, many facts are adduced with grave vouchers for their authenticity. Among others is the unfortunate Queen ofScots, whose lips con- tinued to move in prayer for tleast quar- ter of an hour after the execuloner had performed the duties Windt states that having put his mouth to the ear of decap- itated criminals head and called him by name, the eyes turned to the side from whence the voice came; and this fact is at tested by FoutenoIIo, Moors, GuilIotine, Nauche and Aldini. On the word murder being called in the case of criminal eze- cuted for that crime at Coblentz, the half closed eyes opened wide with an exple5s- ion of reproach on those who stood around.
 This is recorded in the Medical Gazette for April last, but whether it is believed or not we see nothing in the theory of record ed fact, 10 lessen the physiological possibl- ity of conscience after decaptaton. In diseases and diSlocations of the spinal mar row, the mind remains in full possession of all its faculties, although all the lower limbs are utterly devoid of feeIing-and at what RHnt 8 9 @ @af3afnQq y lo09 o2ge Me W Hf5Rd D s2Y If the brain retain the images of vision and the form of touch, long after the objects which created them are withdrawn, why may we not suppose that itretains them at- ter a sudden operation of the guiotine? Like the thigh of an amputated leg which feels its toes for days, and even weeks after its operation, it may remain in imaginary possession of its corporeal members, until the curtains of oblivion are gathered around its fading vision and it sinks to re- pose in the chambers of death.

MORE DEMOCRATIC TESTIMONY IN FAVOR abama, a distinguished Southern Democrat, ardent in his attachment to the South and in his vindication of southern rights, spoke as follows of President Fillmore, in the Uni ted States Senate, on the 22d February last:
 "Sir, honor him for his course, and if the appreciation of a political opponent, who has at times done him some wrong. be at all grateful 10 him, let him be assured that not only, but thousands of others of my po- lilical friends heartily thonk him for what he has done, and lervently thank God that we have in this crisis a patriot and a stateS- man at the head of affairs who kno,os hiS duty and dareS to perform u.

SOUTH CAROLINA SETTLING ACCoUNTs.- The Columbia Telegraph, the State organ of South Carolina disunionism, has the fol. lowing:
 "As we should be entitled 10 a share of the public property-our share of the invest ment and the profits of the CO., partnership- it is also our duty 10 call on the co-States for settlement. With them we made the bargain, and with them we should propose 10 settle and not with the Federal Govern ment. And when we notify them ofour in- tention 10 withdraw it might seem advis- able 10 notify them of our desire to have our share of the property delivered over to us, or its value in money, as it might serve to fortify our State and purchase, or buald q Nary"

 FoR Goss1ps. following paragraph, which we find floating in the newspapers, lays it on the gossips with an unsparlng hand:
 "The slanderous woman poiSons the at mosphere of her entire neghborhood and blasts the sanctites of thousand homes with single breath. From woman ot this class nothing is sacred; she tattens upon calumny and slaughtered reputations. She is the Ghou of Eastern story transferred from the Arabian Nights to the tireside cir cle. She never asserts anything-she mere lv hints, and supposes, and whispers what theu say. Every neighborhood is infested with some creature of this sort; and in country towns they are often afflicted with two or three of the Ghoul Women. One is enough to set hundred families by the ears, two can break up church; three are sufficient 10 any kind of mischief, from sep erating the husband from his wife, to blast ing the fame of stainless girl. A pure woman is simply an angel embodied in hu- man shape; slanderous woman is something worse than cholera. certainly as infectious as the yellow fever"

The Mississippi

The May number of De B0o0s Review has an article of great interest on the "pub- lie lands and evees of Louisiana" The writer contends that an entirel V new system of levees must be adopted along the Mis- sissippi, or the loWland of Louisiana will have to, be abandoned. He intlmates that these dykes might cost ten millions, though the SaUanaah RepubLcan suPposes that they would cost four times as much at least, and that they ought to be as strong, and permanent as those along the Pc, and wide enough fora spacious highway on the top. Nor would such outlay be extravagant, for the writer in the Review estimates the des- truction of property by the overtlowS of this season at fom $5,000,000 to $7,OOO,OOO, and says ttat a proper system ot levees would reclaim from three tofour million acres of as good and as there is in the MlsSlSsp- p Delta. He adds:
 "The whole question, it seems to me, has resolved itself into the alternative that rellei must be speedy extended or the low lands ot Louisiana abandoned. The latter alterna- tive would be runous to thousands who have spent fortunes in purchasing and i'm proving those lands; and, by reducing the amount of the annual crop oi sugar and cot ton in our country, would increase the price of those articles, compel us 10 depend for the deficiency thus caused on foreign countries, and prove seriously inconvenient to great number of our citizens"
