The Day The Death.


That was a remarkable day on which the
spirit Of The great Webster took its flight TO
Tie celestial world. Never was a morning
uShcted in with softer feet with gentler breath,
with milder ligbt. Twilight had just crept on
feet Of Jown, over the skirts OF the coming Gay,
the STATS were quietly sinking to their couches
of blue; all nature was huShed in solemn and
sublime Stiffness. 1t was at such an hour as
il the stupenlous material aud physical world
held its breath for the purpose that the great
est of Americas sons passed from cath to
heaven.
1t was Sunday-the holy, the sacred, the
veneraled Sabbath. Fittest indeed Of all days
on which TO die. Heaven itself reached down
that il might, as il were, escort The greatest oil
earth'S gifts 10 the halls OF its own kingdom.
As opened, so closed the day, calm, glorious,
solemn: vet it was magnificent and beautiful
beyond even the pen Of the poet 10 transmit to
Language. The western sky was hung in its
most glowing hueS, reaching from distant no.
rizon 10 highest zenith. Gradually it sank into
the soft arms a white and brilliant night. Ii
was such an hour that spirits loan, if they
roam at all, through space. a star was pinned
on every point OF space, aad all around there
wete twinklings, as ii We're, Of sadness and
6OErow--tear drops OF silver. Such was the
day On which Webster closed his earthly ca
reer. 1t seemed designed for The memorable
event. Sun, moon, star. sky, breeze, all com
bined 10 give beauty aud impressiveness TO the
spirits tiunSilion. 1t Was a dayto be remem
bered, aS much for its solemn beauty as for the
profoundly sad event which will mark it. with
the pen and fame of immortality. Mr.. Web.
Ster, it seems 10 us, could not have died al q
better time when oil nature, asslt were, STOOD
up, and oil heaven bent drwD, that the occa
sion and the departing soul might be consecra-
ted and consecreling.
Never shall we forget the day-the DEATH
Never would we lis sublimiiy, its beauty, its
brightness, were matchless. 1t is linked with
Webster'S last nome hts on earth, aud his first
ones, We would fam believe, in heaven.-
