The New York Mirror gives us some anec-
dotes of Mr., Webster, culed from The "Per-
sonal Movements" of his private Secretary,
Mr.. Lanman, from which we quote
"The house in which Mr.. Webster was
born is not now standing. MIR Webster's fa-
ther raised his log cabin, for his first dwell
ling, and there the elder children were born
The house which succeeded was a one story
frame house, with chimney in the middle,
having four rooms on the ground floor, and
an addition in the rear for kitchen. The
farm still belongs TO the Webster family.
The church in which MIR. Webster was
baptized is still standing, The remains even
of the old log houses are still seen, and Mr..
Webster has said of them, II make 10 it my
annual visits. carry my children 10 it, to
teach them the hardshps endured by the
generations which have gone before them"
The "Ems FARM is about three miles
from the original home of the family; Here
MIR. Webster spent his youth. 1t contains
one thousand actes-les in a bend Of the
Merrimac, and is one of the finest farms il
New Hampshire,
The Marshfield farm-Mr Webster
home-contans about two thousand acres o
unduating and marshy land, and slope
down 10 the ocean, 1t has belonged TO i'll
present owner about twenty-five years
The farmers in the vicinity acknowledge
that they have learned much of improve,
agriculture from the great statesman. Th'
raising of fine cattle is a passion with Mr.
Webster.
The hower-garden covers nearly one acre
and contains an immense variety of flowers
The variety of forest trees on the farm
great many of them have sprung iror
seeds planted by Mr.. Websier's own hands
MIR. Webster has prepared family burla
place, at cost OF abou, $1,000 on the sun
mi, of hill in one of his fields, overlookin
the ocean.
Directly in front Of the mansion are tw
small elms which were planted BY the ia
,- ther in memory of his children Julia and Ed
ward. He planted the trees without any al
distance, and then handing the shovel I

uThe Lord looketh on the Heart
BY MRs. SIGoURNY.

By MRs. SIGouRNY'
When in thy temple, Lord OF hosts,
With prayerlul lip we bow,
,f every vain and wayward thought
Were written on our brow
And If the searching eye of man
Might each emotion see,.,
And every motive all unveiled,
As clearly read by Thee,
How would the most familiar friend
From his companion start,
And neshbor scan he nei9bors face
With terror in his. heart!
Yea, many whom a hatIering world
Applauds as Just and true,
Mjpht to the rocks and mountains turn
To shield them from lis view.
But thou, 10 whose omniscent Eye
Our every thought on earth
Hath stood uncurtained and revealed,
Fen from our day of birth,
How great must. thy forbearance be
How measureless and vast
The power of His atoning love
That pardoneth us at last !

NOBLE CONDUCT OF A NEWFOUNDLAND
DOG

NOBLE CONDUCT Oh A NEW EOt NDLAND
DOG.
The dog Rola, belonging to Mr.. Adams,
OF so Courlandt street, on Sunday last, per-
formed one those heroic deeds Of humanity
for WHICH the Newfoundland breed is remark
able. An interesting little boy, about ten
years old, while playing near the water ct
Hoboken, lost his balance and fell in. The
tide sweeps along the shore there with great
rapldity, and the little fellow in few mo-
ments was carried apparently beyond the
reach of human assistance. The lad, itseems,
could swim little, but just as his strength
was giving way, the dog, at short distance
from the spot, quick as thought, dashed
through the crowd, leaped into the water,
and in minute more haG the boy by the
collar, secure between his teeth. To bring
him ashore, back TO that particular place,
however, was an inposibli,y, owing TO the
force of the current; so that the only hope
was TO make point of land some distance
ahead (between Jersey City and HohoEcn;N
and for that quarter Rolla steerd hi course,
amidst the applause and exctemen, OF the
spectators. On went the noble animal, brave
ly buffeting the tide, and careless of the
shouts of applause, all the while keeping the
boys face out of water. He reached the
goal al length with his precious burlhen, safe
and sound, but little faint and frightened
and no sooner had he laid him down thar
the noble animal SINK exhausted on The sand
He was instantly surrounded by a numerous
crowd Of people, who had been eyc.wi>nesse
Of the scene, vieing with each other in show
ing kindness TO the heroic animal that ha,
thus risked his own life to save that of
heldless human being. Some idea of the la
Dor performed by the dog is had in the fac
that the entire distance he had 10 swim
said TO be no: less than two miles.-Net

ARMHTAGE'S

Patent Magnetic Lightning Rods,
and in this alone. This Rod has been examined
by the most scientific gentlemen in the world
Professors M'Murtre, Johnson, Walor and ma
nv others that have examined them, recommend
and speak of them in the highest terms of appro-
baton, and have pronounced them the only safe
rods in use in this or any other country for the
protection of Lives and Property. One advan-
tage is to divide and throw back part of the elcc
trio fluid harmless to the clouds; in time of a
stroke this enables the rod to conduct that portion
of fluid that belongs TO the earth without the
slightest danger of leaving the conductor. This
rod has many other advantages over the old one.
