webster's Library at Marshfield.

In this connection, we are able say, that
the private library of Daniel Webster con-
sisted, at his death, of about FIVE thousand
volumes of well selected books, for reading
and reference, including the law book. The
collection was more useful than rare and GU
rious. Agriculture, botany, and history, are
prominent upon the library shelves, and near
ly all the philosophical authors are to be
found. Mr.. w. in his last years, sought par
ticularly books of reference, cyclopedias,
hand books, and elementary treatises on the
various sciences. He had a very large col
lection of dictionaries, Typographical, COM
mercial, botanical, and maritime, in various
languages. He owned but few novels, save
those of Scott and Edgeworth, but he was
fond of reading and of quoting all the best
poets, the best editions of which he possessed,
as well as of the Latin classics. OF Shaks-
peare he had many editions. He had also
many Bibles of different editions, and of va
rious languages, and besides good collection
of maps, which he often referred to, it being
his habit not to let anything pass uncertain
in his reading, that maps or dictionaries could
make sure. OF religious books there is a
fair proportion, which he read much. As a
whole, the collection is English, though there
is considerable number of books in French
and other languages.
Every one who has visited Marshfeld
knows that Mr.. WIS library room is very at
tractive, making western wing of the main
Mansion house. 1t was a favorite room oil

nh. ni..ar Fruits Of Abolitionisns.

In 1882, twenty-three years ago, three
oors before abolitionism became rampant,
Iobn Randolph introduced into the Virginia
House of Delegates, a proposition for the abo-
-, &c slavery. and it was discussed with
areat freedom. Slavery was spoken of In
Farms of severe condemnation, and the de-
80 ,yoro nnblshed and read by every col
81 ,,,or who could read, and to those who
So,,rd Mt thew were read by Others. AT that
time Virginia was not unwiiilng OF AFRAID 10
discuss this question, and was sraouaily Ieei-
inc her wav to emancipation. but when the
abolitionists in their fanatlcal zeal began 10
send their incendiary publications into the
sIove States-endeavoriL to lnclte serylle
;nsnrrection. they aroused at once strong
and hitter feeling at the South. Taunts anc
shraots disnnion and treason, resistance to
-, "a anneal to arms, followed, until the
,rhoIa Union became seething couldron OF
stoI;t;on excitement. The result was, that
tbe bonds of the slaves were more fImly
Lornd than ever, and their nvets more
| securely fastened.
Public opinion, which began to be exhibit
! ,od in VIRGINIA against slavery, was stited a
once In providing for their safety her cltl
/ 1ons interdicted the discussion OF her instltu
tons Who doubts that, if abolitionism haC
never never interfered with the domestic institu
t;ons ~ the South, Virginia would have heel
free State-and other States would hav
followed her example. The impulse whicl
such step would have given to every branc
Of her business-to the general prosperity {
the State-could not have been without II
influence on Others. But to this good wor
! abol;t;onism must lend its blighting service
/. and the tide that was setting in for universi

| FAT MEN.-There is some cordiality about
a fat man. Everybody likes him. and he likes
everybody. Your Ishmaelites are. in truth
a bareboEed race; lank tribe they are
skeleton and bile. Food does fat man GOOD:
1t cllngs to him; it fructifies on him: he swells
nobly out; and fills generous space in life
tie Is living, walking minister of gratitude
to the earth, and the fulness thereof an in =.
carnate testimony against the vanities of
care; radiant manifestation of the wisdom
oil good humor. A fat man, therefore. al
most IN virtue OF being fat man, is, pen. 50.
a popular man, and commonly he deserves
his popularity. In crowded vehicle. the
latest man will ever be the most ready TO
make room. Indeed, he seems to be half
sorry for his size, les. it be in the way of
Others; but Others would not have him less
than he is, for his humanity is usually com.
mensurate with his bulk. A fat man has
abundance of rich juices. The hinges Of
his system are well oiled; the springs of his
being are noiseless; and so he goes on his
way rejoicing, in full contentment and pla-
cldity. fat man feels his position solid
In the world he knows that his being is
cognizable; he knows that he has a mark ed
place IN the universe, and that he need take
no extra pains to advertise mankind that he
is among themr he knows that he is in no
danger of being overlooked. 1t does really
take a deal Of wrong to make one really
hate a fat nun; and if we are not always
as cordial to a thin man as we should be,
Christian charity should take into account
the force of prejudice which we have to
overcome against his thinness. fat man
Is nearest to that most perfect of figures, a
sphere a thin man to that
most limited of conceivable dimensians, a
simple line. A fat man is a being of harmo-
NOUS volume, and holds relations to the
material universe in every direction; thin
man has nothing but length; thin man, in
fact, Is but the continuation of point.-Lec-
lures Of Henry Giles.
