AN ANEcDoTE or DANIEL. wEpsrr.

AN ANECDoTE OF DANIEL w EBsTER.
The following anecdote is good enough
for second reading, II any one i,as
chanced to meet with it before:
When Daniel Webster was delivering
his memorable speech at the dedication
Of Bunker Hill Monument, the crowd
pressed forward to such an extent that
some were fainting and some crushed
Officers strove in vain to make the
crowd stand back. They said it could
not be done. Some one asked Mr.. Web
ster to make an appeal to them. The
great orator came forward, stretched
forth his hand and said, in deep, sento.
rian tones, Gentleman, stand back.''
ut cannot be done!" they shouted.
"GentIemen, stand back said he, with
out a change of voice. at Is impossi-
BILE, Mr.. Webster, impossible.p Elm
possible?' repeated Mr.. Webster, i'm
possible? Nothing is impossible on
Bunker HUI" and the vast crowd
swayed. and rolled back like mighty
wave of the ocean.

MIR. LINCOLN JUST BEFORE HIS ELEC-
TIoN.-It gave Mr.. Lincoln great pain
to think that many religions men, even
in his own city were going to vote
against him. For himself, he could
plainly see Gods hand i'm the conflict.
One day, speaking with tears rolling
down his cheeks, he uttered these noble
words: 81 know there is a God, and
that he hates injustice and slavery. ]
See the storm coming, and know that
his hand il in it. If he has place and
work for e,-and / think he has,--I
believe / am ready. I am nothing; but
truth is every thing. 1 know / am
right, because / know that liberty is
right; for Christ teaches it, and Christ
is God. l have told them that a house
divided against itself cannot stand, and
Christ and reason say the same; and
they will find it so. Douglas don't
care whether slavery is voted up or vo-
ted down; but God cares, and humani-
ty cares, aud care; and with Gods
help shall not fail. l may not sec the
end: but it will come, and I shall be
vindicated; and these men will find
that they have not read their Bibles
Alright"

Hints ABOUT CREAM.--At this day
there Is a great deal written in regard
to depth of milk to obtain the greatest
amount of butter. Some recommend to
set in pans one inch or two deep; but
after thirty years experience / have
found, all things considered, that the
large tin pan is the best. Fill them as
full as can be set up, and place them in
a warm room, and the cream will all
rise.

DAUGHTERS TO SELL.
SONG BY A LADY OF FASHION,

..... SONG BY LADY OF FASHION,
Daughters to sell ! Daughters to sell!
They cost more money than can tell:
Their education has been first rate:
What wealthy young nobleman wants mate? :?
They sing like nightingales play as well;
Daughters to sell! Daughters to sell!
Here's my fine daughters, my daughters, oh!
German, Italian, and French they know,
Dance like Sylphides for grace and ease;
Choose out your partner, whichever you please.
Here's n nice wife for q rich young swell!
Daughters to sell Daughters to sell!
Beautiful daughters, dark and fairi
Each treasure to suit a millionaire,
Or fit TO pair with any dukes heir
At st. Georges Church by Hanover Square,
You! you that in lorily mansions dwell,
Daughters to sell! Daughters to sell!
Buy my dear daughters! who wants n bride,
That can give her Il carriage and horses to ride,
Stand an opera box for his fancys queen,
And no end of acres Of crinoline?
Ever new furniture, jewels and plate,
All sorts of servants upon her to wait;
Visits to Paris, Vienna, and Rome,
In short, all that she's been brought up to at
home. ...... ILL.,. 10.
Here are girls for your money-if out you can
My dapsh ters to sell My daughters to selll

A "Strange I" Preacher.

His name was Strange. Many will
think his conduct was strange also. He
was n jealous preacher and a sweet
singer. Nothing gave him so much
pleasure as to go about the country
preaching and singing. A gentleman
well Off in worldly goods, desiring to
make him and his family comfortable
in their declining years, generously
presented him with q title-deed for
three hundred and twenty acres of land.
Strange accepted the donation with
thankfulness, and went on his way,
preaching and singing as he went. But
after few months he returned, and re-
quested his generous friend to take the
title deed. Surprised at the request the
gentleman inquired:
Is there any flaw in it,"
"Not the slightest"
ais not the land good ?'
"First rate"
Isn't it healthy?"
ayes"
"Why then do you wish me to take
it back? 1t will be comfortable home
for you when you grow old, and some.
thing for your wife and children, If you
should be taken away"
Why, I'll tell you. Ever since I've
lost my enjoyment for singing. can
not sing my favorite hymn with good
conscience any longer."
whats that?"
"This:
No foot of Land do POSSESS
Nor cottage in the Wilderness
a poor wayfaring man.
| dwell awhile in tents below,
Or gladly wander to and fro,
Till my Canaan gain.
/ Yonder's my house and portion fair,
My treasures and my heart are there,
And my abiding home"
"There," said Strange, "Id rather
sing that hymn than own America IL
| trust the Lord to take care Of my wifi,
and children
| He continued singing and preaching
and the Lord, said the preacher, did
take care of him and his children after
him.
