Rufus Choate on Daniel Webster,

At an annual dinner at BE- .on, on the
.24th ult, in honor of the memo,y of Dan.
iel Webster, stirring speech WAS made
by Hon Rufus Choate. We quote the
following passage
We have buried him in our hearts,
. That is enough to say. Our estimation
OF him is part Of our creed We have
no argument to make or bear upou it.
Ne enter into 40 dispute about him. We
permit no longer any man to question us
rs to what he WAS; what he had done
bow much we loved him how much the
country loved him; and we are still
lie this enough for us to say:

how it swells away up from the suffice,
and fading vaIe-,o see that though
clouds and tempests, and the noise of

Continuing in this strain for a long
time, Mr.. Choate closed AS follows:
i have read that in some hard battle.
when the tide was running against him.
and his ranks were breaking, some one
in the agony Of need Of generaship,

Charles Etlery was not blind, aud of
course he saw his errors. He was not
lost to kindly feeling and domestic love,
aud ofcou'se he resolved to reform.
When Mr.. EIlery returned from his
days labor, he found his child quite sick,
but yet not dangerously so. The doctor
had left word for him TO go to the apolh.
ecarys after some medicine, and after
eating lIs supper he started nG,and though
he met haIr.a dozen of his old compan-
ions, each Of whom urged h,m to Join
them, yet he had no thought save to re-
turn immediately TO his wife, when he re
turned so speedily, sent iariI.cf pleas.
''ure to his soul such as he had not expe.
fienced for a long time.
A week passed away, and every even
ing had Charlie. spent ut 'hope with his
wife. lie had read and eonve sed, aud
laughed and PLAYED with his recovering
child, and when Saturday nigh, came, he
felt h:ms. lfto be the happiest man alive.
In VAIN WAS IT that he Was urged to Join
again the social circles OF his bacchanalian
companions, for his heart turned in loath-
ing away from their reve!ry. and he Won
dered how he cou d ever have been SO
thoughlles as to have given them the
preference over his own sweet home.
Sarah, said lie, as he returned home
on the last evening Of the week, has Mrs.
Robinson sold that sack yetr
No. Charles
Then here are FIVE dollars said Mr..
EIlery, at the same time handing his wife
bill. You can purchase tue sack, and
then you will have two dollar. left, which
YOU can use ss you think proper
but Fm afraid on cannot afford this,
Charles returned Sarah, looking half.
~onderingly 'a.d half,iaquial,ively into
her husbands face.

Jerly into his wife's kind features, %, nv

look. and on the nest momest he folde,
his wife to his bosom. She wept, bu
they were tears OF JOY that rolled over he
cheeks. aud she thanked Heaven for tn,
bliss Cf that moment.
The winter passed away, and the genll,
breath Of spring warmed the earth intc
life. Charles EiIery had put new car
pet upon his foor-to his wife he had Civ
en- silk dress, and plenty Of other cloth

thing that her comfort and childish pleas
nre could require. His evenings had been
spent at home. excepting on such occa
