Webster's Reply to Hayne.

The Tdanton (Mass Gazette publishes
the following interesting reminiscenoe in
connection with notice of Webster's re-
ply to Hayne: y Z :. ,2r,E L. ""
e. 1T will be seen from this interesting
narrative that there was times whenJ vs.
eph Gales stood alone among Congression-
at reporters; aud to still further illustrate
his ppsirian in that line. we call to mind
what we once heard aud intimate friend
of Mr. Webster say we owed to him and
us wife, with regard to the celebrated re-
ply to Hayne. Meeting the Mrssachu-
sets Senator as. he was going to the Capt.
tol on that morning, Mr.. Gales inquired
If him how long he intended to speak
About half an hour, was the reply. The
editors duties at that time were pressing;
but he ventured to take so much time
from them. Mr. Webster, however, d.
reetly after, met Judge Story, who said
that he thought the time had come to give
to the country his view on the Consttu-
ton, To this proposition he assented
Mr.; Gales took up hi> pencil, aware of

called on TIE reporter, and made inquiry

ind tipr to write them out This led to
some "Reminiscences and persuasion, but
the over task,d editor stood firm. Then
Mrs, Gales, came to bis rescue by saying
that she thought she could drcipLer her
uusbands's short hand, as she had for
merry occasionally done so. Mr. Gales
doubted, seeing that it was fifteen years
since she had tried it, But she had heard
The speech, and as the resistless sweep of
its argument, and the gorgeous and massive
nagu6cence of its imagery, were yet vivid
in her r,ind, she persisted in under
king the difficult work In due time
thereafter the fair manuscript came to
Mr.. Wcbster's hands for final correction.
Scarcely word needed to be changed;
aud soon a set of diamonds, costing
thousand dollars, accompanied the rich
thanks ct the eloquent statesman. Thus
Was saved to literature the most meuura.

CUSTOM, each chief, on becoming a guest
received q present of a bag of money, and
on being dismissed by the Maharajah, a
handsome Khillut, with another bag Of
money 90 reaching square in the
town Of Chumba, the Maharajah was met
by the brides procession, headed by the
Kajah of .Chumba, her father, he and his
suite being dressed in plain white gar
ments. The Maharajah and Rajah ap-
preached on foot took off their shoes, en-
braced, and returned to their cars The
Rajah then preceded the Mabarajah to the
castle, and according to custom, declined,
as father Of the bride, to receive the nu-
zurs offered by the family of the bride
groom. The display of fireworks on the
night of the marriage was very bril|irnt,
and for some hours the whole town was as
bright as day. During the hours of the
night the nuptlal knot was tied, form
which is literally performed according to
Hiudoo custom, by tying the garments Of
the bride and bridegroom together, while
the incantations are read. The BRIDE
groom IS buy of nine, the bride an in
FAINT. The marriage ceremonies are said
to have cost the Rajah 10000 rupees and
the Maharajah Is lakhs.

The Source of tho Nile.

The great geographical secret which
has puzzled mankind for years has been
solved. Julius Caesar declared that he
would abandon his career of conquest in a
moment if he thought he could discover
the fountain of the Nile. Bayatd Taylor
wrote d few years ago: .- ..a. r.-
"Sluce Columbus first looked upon San
Salvador, the earth has but one emotiau of
triumph left IN her bestowal, and that she
reserved for him who shall drink from the
fountain. Of the White Nile" - gI,
This brave drinker has been found, 1t
is Captain Spake, an Engishmau, who re-
ally discovered the Lake Victoria Nyanza
on the 81 CT August, 1858, but bis claim
that this was the true source of the Nile
having been discredlted, he has just re-
turned from second trip which confirms
the claim beyond doubt. The lake lies
between the equator and four degrees
south aud between longitude 81 deg.
and 81 drg,. This is nearly the locality
which the general conjecture of scientific
men had fixed upon. ,,4af4 II aHS "
The river had torherly been traced, by
expeditions sent out by the Pacha of
Egypt, to within five degrees of the equa.
t"r-aud there the exploration stopped -
The length of the Nile as now ascertained,
is something over 5000 miles. 1t is pc.
'culiar among large rivers in having no af.
fluent within 1900 miles iron, its mouth,
and in having periodical inundation of
great regularity aud fertilizing yalue.--s
The latter begins ia june and ends 10
september, and is owing to the periodical
raius III the region around the rivers
source. In the day of Hcroditus l6 Gu
bits was considered rise, necessary to q
tair overflow. Now % cubits j. the aver
ag,, which il.iieatrs the elevation of the
valley by reason of the successive deposits.
Ne 10 MOI know that the discovery of the
source Of the Nile issof much Practical
consequences but it is well to have all
these questions settled.

The Happy Farmer.

Or, wearied meath the uuunday toll
When the summer suns were high?
And thought you thai his lot was hard '''
And did you thank your God
That you and yours were not condemned
Like him to drive aud plud?
Come, see him a, his harvest home,
W hen garden, field and tree,
Conspire with flowing stores to fill
His barn and glanary.
His heathful children gaily sport
Amid theinew mown hay,
Or proudly aid with vigorous arm,
His tasks, us best they may.
The do partakes his masters joy,
And guards the loaded vain, X.
The teathe.y people clap their wings, 3-'.f
And lead the youngling train. ...
Perchance the hoary grandsire's eye O..
The glowing scene surveys,
And breathes blessing on his race,
Or guides their evening praise.
