to be lying awake, and hearing the rafting
of the iron pot and the strange sound of nv
voice in it, she was much alarmed, for she
knew not whether it was some one breaking
into the house, or myself waling in my sleep
rs l had been known to do.
There was simultaneous rushing into the
parlor when I picked myself up, and uni
Versal laugh broke forth when they beheld
me with an iron pot over my head. 1t re-
quired repeated trials to get the pot off,
when 1 related the whole nights adventure.
The day was just dawning, and we all re-
paired to the room to discover the cause of
my terror; and, now, gentle reader, what
do you suppose the buggaboo was? It was
nothing more or less than my mothers side
saddle, on which she had been accustomed
to ride to church, when girl in the coun-
try. Every lady's saddle has two horns
There were two red spots which had been
embroidered in the seat, and these my ina
gination transformed into glaring eyes roll
ing in their sockets. Beneath these spots
part of the saddle was worked or stitched
with light silk as an ornament, and this my
fancy made into an enormous mouth, filled
with horrible teeth The saddle was hung
up against the wall, and under it stood a
large wooden churn, which answered for a
body to the awful buggaboo. When struck
the saddle cat leaped out from beneath the
churn; as discovered that she had some
beautiful kittens concealed there
Never while the pulse Of life continues to
beat, shall forget that night Of terror. An
age of suffering was crowded together in the
space of few hours and suffering the most
intense, the most narrowing to the SOUL
True, the cause of my fear and of my agony
was imaginary; but it was none the less
acute on that account and should live q
thousand years, never wish again to see a
buggaboo in my mothers side-saddle, nor to
wear another iron pot over my head. Even
now, the very sight of a side saddle, or an
iron pot, sets me to shuddering and gives
me tie errors.

DANIEL WEBsrER's PosrHuMous PRESENT
TO PETER HARvEY.-Just before Mr.. Web
ster's death, he called his son Fletcher to
his bedside, and said-'' My dear son, l wish
you to procure handsome and substantial
piece Of silver plate, and present it to my
valued friend, Peter Harvey, with suita-
BILE inscription, as testimonial of my dying
love for him." This piece of plate has
been manufactured by Jones, Ball & Co.,
and can be seen at their store, corner of
Sumner and Washington streets. The in
scription is verbatim transcript Of the
dying words in which the great statesman
made the request.-Couraer.
Probably Mr.. Webster had not in the wide
world truer or frmer friend than Mr.. Har-
vey. His friendship to the great man was
exhaustless, as was constantly shown in his
munifcent acts of kindness and attention.
Whatever could add to the comfort of Mr..
Webster; whatever would crafty his taste,
or administer to his wants, it Was Mr.. Har-
vey's highest pleasure, so far as it was in
his power, to provide, with ample and disin-
terested hand. His conduct towards the
illustrious statesman and orator, is lively
and admirable example of genuine friend
ship and devotion. Mr.. Webster fully ap-
preciated these acts Of generosity, kindness
and heart, and blessed the memory of Har-
vey, in his immortal dying speech. We re-
cord the above testimonial with cordial plea
