Just before Mr. Webster died saws an excbar,,o a.. I
after his recovery despaired o. one of bis pbys
CLANS approached his bedside aud asked how he lo1nd
himself Il feel like the Jackda.y in the Church eI y
was the strange reply The physician Withdrew SADLY
from the bed side TO another part of the ROOM wLey
some members OF the family standing together and
shaking his head, confessed his approximations that tbs
BRAIN OF the dying statesman affected that the state
y oak was pershing at the top. He could see no tne
thod IN the answer which his question had received
One OF the ladies' present who knew Mr. Webster bet
ter, did not believe his mind wandering and onti
stepping TO the bedside asked him what he meant h.,

OF Vincent Bourne IS little poens entitled The Iaelday,
HE following are the verses, from which the reader will
perceive heperect fitness and point OF the reply:
THE JACKDAW.
There is bird, who by his coat
Aud by the hoarsenes5 of his note,
Might be supposed acrow;
a great requenter of the church,
Where bishop like he finds perch
And dormitory too
Above the steeple shines plate
That turns and turns to indicate
From what point blows the weather
Look up-your brains be yin to swim

He chooses it the rather.
Fond OF the speculative height,
Ifilther he wings his airy flight
And thence securely sees
The hustle and the race show
Ihat occupy mankind below,
Secure aud at bis ease.
You think. doubt, he sits and muses.
On future broken bones and bruises
If he should chance to fail
No; not single thought like that
Employs his phosoplic pate
Or troubles it at all
lie sees that this great round-a bout
The world, with all its nlollyrout
Church, army physic law,
Its custom and its businesses
Is no concern at all OF his,
And says-what says he?--Cawl
Thrice happy bird too have seen
Much OF the vanities of men;
And sick Of having seen en-
