Poem by Daniel webster.

The Harpers have published Lam
mans Memoirs of the Private Life Of
Daniel Webster. Lanman was the
great statesman's private secretary.
The greatest curiosity which the New
York Post has met in the book, is a
couple of stanzas of verse, the only
specimen of Webster's poetry so far as
we know, that ever found its way into
print. Our readers will, doubtless,
be curious to see them:
THE MEMORY OF THE HEART.
If stores of dry and learned lore c gain,
We keep them in the memory of the brain;
Names, things, and facts - whatever we
knowledge CALL
There is the common ledger for them all
And images on this cold surface traced
Make slight impressions, and are soon eflaccd.
But we've a page more glowing and more
bright,
On which our friendship and oIy love to write;
That these may never from the soul depart,
We trust them to the MEMORY OF THE HEART.
There is no dimming no DETACHMENT here
Each new pulsation keeps the record clear;
Warm, golden letters, all the tablet fill,
Nor lo2e their lustre till the heart stands still
London, Nov. 18th, 1899.

Largest Vet,

Well, We are now ready to give 1t
up! We hardly know whether to
leave the premises, or to crowd the
hat more firmly on the head and re-
main where we are! We really had
the idea that the Iturbidc claim was as
extensive garden spot as an ordina
ry gentleman in easy circumstance
would desire But we have to inform
our readers that there is another claim
in existence which is perfect swal-
lower. The Iturbide claim is a whale
among small fish; but that and the
Sutter, the Peralta, and the famed Le-
mantour fade into mere stars before
the blaze of this enormiiy. There is
a downright living man, walking about,
breathing and seeing like other men,
who claims two thirds of this State in
pne lump. The claim starts at Cape
Mendocino, it follows the coast down
past San Francisco to the 35 parallel,
thence strikes across to the summit Of
Sierra Nevada, just about clearing Los
Angeles, thence northwardly along the
ridge of the Sierra to point due east
from Cape Mendocino, thence west to
the Cape itself. The modest gentle
man, it seems, is not satisfied with an
ordinary meal of a p league piece of
agricultural land, but like some greedy
monster, he gulps down everything
srdiscriminately. Into his capacious
NAV they pitch pell nell; mines OF
copper, and gold and silver, and San
Francisco and pine woods, quarries of
granite and coal, tent-villages and
grizzly bears, the white washed farm
house, streams and fences, Catholic
Churches and Baptist, wharves and
school houses, filled and untitled water
lots, six hundred feet extensions, the
Alta California and all. Now, ridicu-
lous as this seems, the intelligence
comes to us from a most reliable
source, and we can assure our readers
it is an actual fact. Where is Le-
mamour? The best of the story comes
yet. The legal adviser of this unas-
suming claimant was exceeding y anx-
ious that he should have the claim
filed, but the client talked and thought
the matter over, and after the papers
were preparing, concluded, with what
wisdom our readers can judgn) he had
better not present his pretensions to a
piece of country considerably larger
than the New England States, because
it would injure, by the offensive odor
which it would stir up, other landed
interests and prospects which he had
in New Mexico IS f. Transcript.
1t is a pity somebody don't make
claim to the other some undivided
third of California, and a division Of
the State would need no convention
We shall all have to leave pretty soon
or be the vassa!s of land owners
When will these ridiculous farces end

Where fancy's ardent dreams,
Or hopes delusive bowers?
Borne sadly down on memory's str cams,
Transient autumn flowers.
Alas the loved and cherished die,
Cut off in life's green years,
While fresh and fair, their morning sky
Without clond appears.
Dust must return to dust again,
Put off the cause of sin,
The soil dvested of its clay,
Immortal joys begin.
o, welcome home thou heavenly ray,
Dsrobed of flesh and Sit
welcome home, the angels say,
You're clothed anew, come in.
The Of God victorious is
Sin, death and hell are slain;
Let shouts from earth to heaven arise,
And echo back again.
Then hush the sigh, and check the tear
No at fate repine;
For thou shalt meet thy child so dear,
And with her shine.
