DANIEL wrpsrER.-Bishop Wal

DANIEL WEBsrER.-Bishop VAIN
wright relates a touching incident beau
tifully illustrative of the religious
yearnings of the late Daniel Webster:
Soon after 1 returned from Egypt and
the Holy Land, hearing that Mr.. Web
ster was in town, l called upon him at
the Astor, as l was always accustomed
to do. His reception of me was most
cordial and affectionate. He asked me
many questions as tony Eastern travels,
and as | rose to go away he took me by
the hand and said, 4 want you to do
one thing for me- You have been over
Palestine. l wish to get the best map
l can command, and have you sit down
one hour-but one hour. wish to 90
with you from place to place-Bethle-
hem, Nazareth Jerusalem, the Sea of
Galilee, Jordon, Bethany, the mount of
Olives, and tell me, as l point, how it
looks; the hills, the trees, the rocks,
the land, the water. l can never 90
there, but l would look as nearly as
can upon every spot sancti6ed by the
presence of our blessed Lord while he
tabernacled in the flesh.' Hiseyes filed
with tears, and he earnestly pressed my
hand. Multitudes of emotions swelled
my heart. | returned the pressure,
and in silence departed.

BRUTAL ATTEMPT TO MURDER All
CADIz.-Thomas Coleman, who mar
ried wife some two or three months
ago, much younger than himself, at
tempted to kill her on last Sunday morn
ing: His wife was engaged in putting
on her stockings preparatory to going to
church, when Coleman struck and
knocked her down with a large iron
poker, and when down cut her throat
with razor-then cut his own. A
neighbor happening to call in, made
the discovery and gave the alarm. Mrs.
Coleman'sIife was despaired of at first,
but she gives indications now of re-
covering. Coleman did not dip very
deeply into his own neck. When the
neighbors entered the house. he was
cyeing his wife and leaning with his
head over the fender, letting the blood
drip on the aches. Coleman had been
formerly an exemplary citizen, is sup
posed to have been insane-caused BY
inordinate love of money and meanaess.
and fears of coming to want. His wife
had caused him to make an outlay of
fifteen dollars during the two months
they had been married, and acting upon
the principle that it was better to be out
of the world than out of money, be at
tempted to send his young wife into
eternity and follow himself-but from
recent experience, we think that he came
to the conclusion that Jordan is hard
road to travel .Steu5enville Herald.

1t is stated by Bayle st. John, that,
when the cholera made its appearance
in Paris in 1849, it was confined to the
workmen and others most exposed
But, after awhile it began to attack the
Weather classes. One morning,
while Bayle st. John was making call
at an aristocratic mansion, blear-eyed,
croaking old countess hobbled in. This
is dreadful was her breathless saluta-
ton, the pestilence is making progress.
When the people were attacked it was
all very well-they were punished for
their sins; but the matter is now be-
coming more serious. The disease is
beginning to invade the ranks of society.
Monsieur le Marquis died of it this
morning.

AFFAB1LIrY OF QUEEN VIcToRIA.-
The queen is perfectly idolized by the
people; she mixes among them famil-
iarly; but while she pats the heads Of
the children whom she meets in her
early walks, she takes care to mingle a
graceful dignity with her condescension.
The royal children, after they have
worked in their gardens, go out to walk,
and they are especially instructed to be
courteous to whoever falls in their way.
Sometimes her Majesty win enter cot
tage-perhaps at the dinner-time of the
occupants-.and, sitting down at the
table, partake of the food.-Lon. atlas.

THE MONARCH STILL A MAN.-Who
forgets the anecdote of Napoleon and
the village bells of Brientz? He was
riding late one day over battle field,
gazing stern and unmoved on the dy-
ing and the dead that strewed the
ground by thousands about him, when
suddenly those evening bells struck
up merry peal. The Emperor paused
to listen; his heart was softened; memo
ry was busy with the past; he was no
longer the conqueror of Austerlitz, but
the innocent happy schoolbcy at Brientz:
and, dismounting from his horse, he
seated himself on an old tree, and, to
the establishment of Rapp, who relates
the circumstance, burst into tears. The
rock was smitten, and living waters
: came gushing from it.-My Notebook.
