following anecdote of the late Daniel
Webster -
"One night, before railroads we're
built, he was forced to make a journey
by private conveyance from Baltimore to
Washington. The man who drove the
Wagon was such an ill-looking fellow,
and told so many stories of robberies and
murders, that before they had gone far
Mr.. Webster was somewhat alarmed.--
At last the Wagon stopped in the mid
die of dense wood, when the man, turn
ing suddenly round to his passenger, ex-
claimed 6ereely--' Now, sir, tell me who
you are Mr.. Webster replied In lal-
tering voice, and ready to spring from the

A BROKEN HEART AND ITS HISTORY.


Many months ago in the neighboring
town of Belchertown young man
sought and received the promise of the
hand of young lady, whose home was
in the lap of luxury, whose mental and
personal attractions made all pleasant
around her. Like too many confding
ones of her sex she trusted mans unhal-
lowed promise and yielded all to him.
From that hour he estranged himself
from her and soon removed to a distant
state. When it became evident that he
had exposed himself to the penalty of
the law, at the request of her friends be
fulfilled the vows he had long before
made. They were married in one of
those hasty, unceremonious ways which
occupy but little time or attention. Late
in the evening they returned to her faith
er's house where he left her in the street,
promising to return in short time. But
that promise never was fulfilled. She
wrote to him and received encourage
ment he would soon provide home for
her, but delay, followed delay, till her
letters and entreaties were uuheeded and
unanswered. At length pledge of wo-
mans love to her husband came into the
world to open new fountains of affection
to the young wife. Still the husband
and father came not. The mother re-
covered from confinement, but, after re-
peated letters to her husband found no

him forced itself upon her and she gave
way to dependency and despair. The
child, partaking of its mothers grief,
soon died. There was nothing more that
she could live for, and though suffering
from no disease, she sank upon dying
bed. Then the swift wings of lightning
bore to the distant husband the intellig.
ence that she was dying. He still he
STATED, but at length set out TO meet his
expiring wife. Conscious that her hour:
were few, she only wished to live long
enough TO see her husband-he was still
all to her. Her last words to her friend,
we're Tell him that / still love him
that l die for him. When evening shad
owed the earth the husband came
As he approached the bedside of his in
jured wife he was recognized, and th,
words He's come, burst from her lips
Already had the wings of the dealt
angel cast its shadow over that dwelling
and she was entering the dimness of th
dark valley. Next morning in that roor
lay the corpse of beautiful young wife
on which the husband had looked fo
the last time and departed. On Sal
bath afternoon the funeral of the youn
wife took place under her fathers roo
Her neighbors and friends to the numbe
of five hundred were present, but th
husband who had left her to die fl
