MASTER AND PUPIL.

Colonel James Tsppan, a venerable citizen of
Gloucester, Massachusetts,, now 81 years of age,
recently addressed a letter TO the Hon. Daniel
Webster, reminding him that more than sixty
years ago he (Mr. w WAS one of his pupils, when
he taught school at "New Salisbury The
Gloucester News publishes Mr.. Webster's prompt
answer to his old friend and early teacher, and
remarks
I'VE doubt If any letter that Mr.. Webster
has written to public bodies, or any of the thou
sand great and noble acts of his life reflect more
credit upon him than this kind letter and gene
rous gin to his aged and unfortunate old school
MASTER Ii IS indeed beautiful letter, alike hon.
orable to the head and heart of the writer and as
the editor Of the News remarks, "at time when
envy and malice are dealing blows from all quar-
tiers at Americas greatest statesman, when his
public course is decried and execrated by political
opponents and the basest charges are brought
against his moral character" it sheds upon his
name and character fresh glory, that, long after
his petty traducers shall be dead and forgotten,
will remain undimmed in the hearts OF his coun-
trymen.
Here is the letter of Mr. Webster, and it's
palus and interest are enhanced by the fact that
no allusion is made in it to an enclosed fifty dollar
bank note
WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY &c, 1851.

You boarded at our house, and sometimes think
in the family of Mr. Benjamin. Sanborn, our

you knew in New Salisbury have gone totheir

You have indeed lived chequered life. hope
you have been able to bear prosperity with meek
ness, and adversely with patience. These things
are all ordered for u.s. far better than we could order
them for ourselves We may pray for our daily
bread we may pray for the forgiveness Of sins
we may pray to be kept from temptation, and thai

this We hardly know for what good to supplicate

eth what we have need Of better than we know
ourselves, and we are sure that his eye and his

thank you again, my good old MASTER for your
kind letter, which has awakened many sleeping
recolections and with all good wishes remain
