Mr. webster, by san Opponent.

There were few journals more violently
opposed to Mr.. WEBSTER than the New
York Eeenuzg Post. That paper how
ever, has thus sketched his character and
career, III which due justice is done TO the
great one whose loss we all depIore.
AS all academical orator, as a lawyer,
ne a diplomatist, and as a statesman, Mr..
Webster achieved a fame, which, sepa-
rately, almost any Of his contemporaries,
living or dead, might have envied. His
anniversary addresses are almost tile only
specimens Of that species of oratory in
this country that will survive their authors.
Eli. efforts at the bar, like most achieve
ments in that arena however memorable
will only possess a lasting traditional fame,
which in this country is never lasting.
1.-The Senate has been his great thea
ire, where, if he did not lay the foumda-
tons of his fame as an orator, he certainly
erected the monuments which are to per-
petuate it. His forensic oratory has rare
" been surpassed either in ancient or mod
ern times, and there is nc doubt that his
example in that body did more than is
now easily appreciated in elevating it's
standard Of parliamentary eloquence and
decorum.
He never betrayed the politician in
the tone or the language Of his speeches !:
whatever might be the secret motives of
his heart, he always rested his policy upon
professedIy public grounds, and discussed
them from a national and never from a
personal or a partisan point Of view. In
4ilis respect Mr.. Webster speeches stand
in admirable contrast with the style Of
parliamentary oratory which ordinarily
prevails at Washington, and we cannot
but think that the loss of his admirable
example, in this respect. has been sensi-
bly, felt by the Senate since he ceased ac-
lively to participate in the deliberations Of
that body.
His fife has left few lessons OF greater
value than may be gathered from the ele-
vated tone of his Congressional speeches.
III which lie never made undignifed
appeal. or indllged III one personal or an
supplementary allnsion. We do not
recoIlect an instance OF MI. Webster be-
ing called to order, or Of his being out Of
order, during the whole Of his parliament
airy life. This can hardly be said Of any
other person who ever held a seat in tile
Congress Of the United States more than
a single term.

smashed pitchers, cures no spoiled hay, and
changes TO east winds. 1t effects nobody

FROM THE HOME JOURNAL.
MY WIFE.

Long years ago met child,
As through the world | past.
She was the first star of my life
The dearest and the last.
An angel child, by some strange fate
To earth dweller driven,
Who brought her virtues to my heart,
And left her wings in heaven.
dresmt not that this child Of love
Would mine forever be,
That she had come 10 tread this world,
This weary world, with me.
But as in kindness, side by side.
We wandered day by day,
The more loved her, and the more
She seemed inclined TO stay.
Twas strange, that from that very hour
l never knew a care,
But seemed, through some unearthly power,
A pleasant thing to bear;
And il perchance her gentle eye
Ere marked a tear in mine,
Twas turned to smiles by her kind heart
And treasured on its shrine.
Around my growing destiny
Her hopes all centred were,
For much tried to make this world
A pleasant home to her;
And still withal she seemed content
To bear its rougher part,
Together with the Joys she found
Whilst nesting at my heart
And thus together, hand in hand,
We trod this vale of tears;
Our youth departing, but our love
Increasing with our years,
Forgetting all that outward world,
Made up of grief and sin,
Bnt loving more the world above,
And bright world within.
The cheek that closely presses mine,
Is furrowed now by years,
For we have known the cares Of life,
And we have wept its tears;
But God was ever kind to u2,
Although the world was cold,
And we are growing happier,
As We are growing old.
There seems brighter world in view,
A home from sorrow free,
A dwelling of eternal years
For my dear wife and me.
And o the ange! of my youth,
So good, and very fair,
know will take her wing again,
And be my angel there.
