ANEcDoTE TOLD by DAN. WEBSTER.
Hon. Daniel Webster had an anecdote
of old Father Searl, tho minister of his
boyhood, which has never been in print
and which is too good to be lost.
1t was customary then to wear buck
skin breeches in cold weather. Ono
Sunday morning in autumn, Father
Searl brought his down from the garrett.
but the wasps had taken possession Of
them during the summon, and were hav :
ing n nice time in them. BY dnt of
effort he got out the intrudcrs, and
dressed for meeting. But while read
ing the scriptures to the congregation,
ho felt dagger from one of the enrag-
cd small WASTED fellows, and jumped
about the pulpit slapping his thighs
but the more he slapped around and
danced, the more they stung. The peo-
pie thought him crazy. and were in a
commotion what to do, but he explained
tho matter by saying. Brethren don't
be alarmed. The word of the Lord is
in my mouth, but the devil is in nv
breeches."

Life Is Beautiful.

Life is bcautifnl-its dutios
Cluster round each passing day,
While their sweet and solemn voices
Warn to watch-tu work-to pray.
Thoy alone its blessings forfeit,
Who by their spirits cheat,
Or to slothful stupor yielding:
Let the rust their armor eat.
Life is beautiful-affection
Round its roots with ardor cling,
Mid its opening blossoms nestle,
Birtlike in lis branches sing,
Smiling lull its cradle slumbers,
Guard with prido its youthful bloom
Fondly kiss its snow-white temples,
Dew its turf-mound DER its tomb.
Life is beautiful-with promise
OF the joys that cannot fado,
Life is fearful with the threatening
OF an everlasting shade:
May not thoughtless wanderer scorn it
Blindly lost in folly's maze
Duty, love, and hope adorn it,
Let its latest breath be praise.

Passing Away.

A laughing child, whose starry eyes
Beam'd through her sunny hair,
Threw roses in dancing stream,
And watched the ripple there;
And marvell'd that they would not stay
All that's bright must pass away.
A maiden sat in assamne bower,
When the stars were in the sky,
And her young check glow'd, for she
deem'd she heard
The steel of her lover nigh;
She marvell'd much that he would stay
Ah, maiClen-'Love will pass away"
A maiden knelt in prayer at eve
For her child of the sunny brow;
The music of his voice of gse
Was hush'd in silence now;
She pray'd, if twas His will to stay
Deaths doom-"hat the cup might pass
aray.'
Years hed-and by her couch Of death
A mourner wept in grief
That ono so beautiful and good
Should have life so brief;
"Mourn not"-the man of God did say
T.oved ones, all, must pass away"
