Cool INFLUENCE yesterday afternoon
rather genteel-looking man walked into
the bar of the Woodruff House, and called
for whiskey toddy. He was served, and
after he had drank the toddy, he obtained
cigar, and sat by the fire and leisurely
pulled it away. He then called for an
other toddy, and having placed it be-
meath his vest, calmly buttoned his coat
pulled on his gloves, and turning to the
bar-keeper, said:
81 am ready"
"You are ready. are you" replied the
bar-keeper. "Well, SIT, your bill is
twenty-five cents.'
al was aware of that fact" replied the
patron, folding his arms and turning his
face towards the door, land now I'm
ready"
Ready for what g.
ITO be kicked out. Hain't darned
cent; could not do without liquor: been
served like gent amt ashamed of my
poverty; take your pay, sir; Kick me ou.''
The bar-keeper, finding the chap was
in earnest, obliged him with several ap-
plications of his boot toe, Justify admin
istered. The idler bore it in good part,
and after he had been kicked into the
street, turned round, made polite bow
to the bar-keeper, and then apparently in
merry mood, started down the street

wsbster's Sunrise Requiem Bell.


"The s,eepIe bell in sharp and sudden ring, i
Broke on the stiffness OF the Sabbath morn,
And then, in solemn, measured strokes il tolled.
The mortal years of an immortal SOU. -
In many of the country towns of New
England, the good old custom of an
nouncing death by the church-bell, is
still preserved. At sunrise and sunset,
the bell announces who have died since
the rising and setting sun. The bell is
first rung rapidly, as if to call attention,
and then there is pause, following by
some strokes to denote the sex of the de-
parted; and, then, regular tolling of the
years. In this manner, the whole village
and town aremade acquainted with deaths
ravages; and, from familiar acquaint-
ance with the people, and knowledge of
who are sick, the particular person dead
is indicated. Those beautiful hours of the
day, in which so much delight is taken in
viewing the setting and rising sun, in its
effects upon the earth and sky, are often
saddened by these touching exhibitions of
human frailty. 1t has never been pub
lishsd, we think, that such custom was
observed in the death of Daniel Webster,
at Marshfield, on Sabbath morning, Octo-
Der "a, 1852. A friend informs us, who
was on visit at Marshfeld at the time,
that, rising early, just as the family were
about to sit down to breakfast, he heard
the bell strike, and suspecting who it was,
he, with the gentlemen of the house,
sprung to the door, and, standing to-
gether on the door-stone, in the pleasant
and still Sabbath morning, heard and
counted the years struck Of the departed
statesman. Never before, we may we'll
believe, did that bell a worthier name re-
cord; never did sections hands announce
the departure of so great man. And
yet, it was but all ordinary notice; one
paid alike to the rich and the poor, the
great and the lowly. Like the grave,
leveling all distinctions, this touching old
custom brought Daniel Webster within
the realms of our common humanity.
We wish we could have been there, to
have heard that Marshfield bell toll out
those tidings. Itwould have been great
event of our life, and one whose granduer
and interest were unsurpassed.
He died in the morning, which hour he
loved so much. 81 know the morning"
he wrote in letter dated Richmond,
Va, 5 o'clock A. NJ, April 90, SD
am acquainted with it, and love it. !
love it, fresh and sweet as it is-a daily
new creation, breaking forth, and calling
all that have life and breath and being to
new alteration, new enjoyments, and new
gratitude" In another letter to clergy
man, a personal friend. not long before
his death, is the following: ID rose early
this morning, to enjoy the heavenly light
of a bright sun, and the far greater liz int
of revealed truth"
He was privileged to die in the morn
ing, and on the Sabbath morning, and to
open his eyes upon celestial day, at a
period when, by diligent cultivation of
all his powers, a use of his opportuni-
ties, and preparedness in Christ, he was
fitted to understand sublimer mysteries,
and enter upon the higher enjoyments
which the Great Creator had reserved for
him above.
