Webster Prompted.

Mr.. Webster was speaking on one occa-
sion, some years since. in Faneuil Hall. If
remember right he was arguing in favor of
the 'Maysville road" bill MIR. Otis sat near
him on the platform. MIR. Webster proceeded
as follows
81 am in favor Mr.. Chairman, of all the
roads except-except-"
Here he stuck, and could not think of any
exception. Mr. Otis saw his difficulty, and
said to him in low voice,
Say, the road to ruin"
Mr.. Webster heard, and, as if he had
merely stopped for the purpose of making his
remark more effective, repeated the whole as
follows:
II repeat, Mr.. Chairman. am in favor OF
all roads except-the road to ruin"
The wit in Otis, in this instance, was we'll
met by the presence of mind in Webster.
