THE BROTHER OF DANIEL WEBsrER.-Ez-
excl Webster, brother Of Daniel, who was
considered the handsomest man in the U.
S., had a skin Of singular fairness and
light hair. He is wildly remembered in
New Hampshire for his marvellous beauty
of form and face, his courtly and winning
manners, the weight and majesty Of his
presence. He was signal refutation of
DR.. Holmes theory, that grand manners
and high breeding are the result of seve-
raj generations of culture. Until he was
nineteen, this peerless gentleman worked
on rough mountain farm ON the outskirts
Of civilization, as his ancestors had for a
he was refined to the tips Of his finger
nails and to the buttons Of his coat. Like
his more famous brother, he had an ar
fists eye for the becoming in costume, and
keen sence for all the proprieties and de-
corums both Of public and private life.

An admirable reply was once made by q
careful reader of the Bible to an infidel
who attacked him with such expressions
as these:
"That the blood of Christ can wash
away our sin is foolishness don't un-
derstand or believe it.''
The Bible student remarked, "You and
Paul agree exactly"
The inidel replied with much surprise,
GLOW is this, that Paul and agree?'
Said the student, "Turn to the first
chapter of lst Corinthians, and read at the
18th verse;"
The infidel read, "For the preaching of
the cross is to them that perish foolish
ness, but unto us which are saved it is the
power Of God"
The in6del hung his head, and ever af-
ter studied the Bible, and soon believed it
to be Gods power unto salvation.

REDUCTIo AID ABsURDux.-"He who
would thrive must rise at fye." So says
the proverb, though there is more rhyme
than reason in it, for, if
He who would thrive must rise at i've,
it must naturally follow,
He who'd thrive more must rise iour
and it will insure consequence. that
He who'd still more thriving be,
Must leave his bed at turn OF three;
And who this latter would outdo,
Will rouse him at the stroke of two.
And by way of climax to it all, it should
be held that
He who'd never be outdone,
Must rise
But the best illustration would be,
He who'd flourish best Of all,
Must never 60 to bed at ALL

double sense. Bells make the day, and
mark the progress of time. But for these
bells, these endless BELLS l believe we
should all lie down and sleep on through
the eternal night and wake not until the
day dawned upon us in the long hereafter.
Bells tell us the hours and the half hours.
and change the WATCH and govern the
divisions of time, as at sea. BELL calls
us to breakfast, two to lnnch, and 'four
bells is the dinner summons. six bells

at seven bells we open our eyes again to
the same continuous pale glimmer Of the
kerosene lamp, and we awake again to the
same endless routine Of occupation, idle
ness and ennui."

RECEIPTS FOR FIrs.-Though no doctor,
have some excellent prescriptions, and
shall charge you nothing for them you
cannot grumble at that price. We are
most of US subject to fits; I am vexed with
them myself, and dare say you are also.
Now, then, for my prescriptions:
For fit Of passion, count the tirkings
of a clock. Do this for one hour, and you
will be glad to pull off your coat the next
and work like negro.
For fit Of passion, walk in the open
air; you may speak to the wind without
hurting any one, or proclaim yourself to
be simpleton. -,-
For fit of extravaganza and folly, 20
to the work-house, or speak with the rag
ged and wretched inmates of Jail, and
you will be convinced
"Who maketh his bed of brier and thorn
Must be content to lie forlorn."
For fit of ambition, 20 into a church.
yard, and read the grave-stones. They
will tell you the end of ambition. The
grave will soon be your bed-chamber, tho
earth your pillow, corruption your father,
and the worm your mother and sister.
For fit of repining, look about for the
halt and blind, and visit the bed-ridden
and afflicted and deranged, and they will
make you ashamed of complaining Of your
lighter Affections.

The Arctic Regions.
! EXTRACTS FROM DR.. HAYES WORK.
We give some extracts from DR.. Hayes
new work, The Open Polar Sea:
| SCENE.
Leaving Boston harbor, DR.. Hayes pro.
ceeded at once to Greenland, reaching
whose icy shores he witnessed scenes OF
beauty unknown to his former experiences
Of Arctic life. We copy a single picture :
"In all my former experience in this re-
gion of startling novelties l had never
seen anything to equal what witnessed
that night. The air was warm almost AS
summers night at home, and yet there
were the icebergs and the bleak mountains,
with which the fancy. in this land of green
hills and waving forests, can associate
nothing but cold responsiveness. The sky
was bright and soft and strangely inspir-
ing as the skies of Italy. The bergs had
wholly lost their chilly aspect, and glitter
ing in the blaze of the brilliant heavens,
seemed, in the distance, like masses of
FURNISHED metal or solid fame. Nearer at
hand there were huge blocks of Parian
marble, inlaid with mammoth gems of
pearl and opal. One in particular exhib-
tied the perfection of the grand. Its form
was not unlike that of the Coliseum, and
it lay SO far away that half its height was
buried beneath the line of blood-red wa
ters. The sun, slowly rolling along the
horizon, passed behind it, and it seemed Us
if the old Roman ruin had suddenly taken
fire.
Nothing indeed but the pencil of the
artist could depict the wonderful richness
Of this sparkling fragment of nature
Church, in his great picture Of The Icebergs,
has grandly exhibited scene not unlike
that which would in vain describe.
in the shadows of the berg the water
was rich green, and nothing could be
more soft and tender than the gradations
of color made by the sea shoaling on the
slopihg tongue Of berg close beside U.S.
The TINT increased in intensity where the
ice overhung the water, and deep cavern
near by exhibited the solid color of the
malachite mingled with the transparency Of
the emerald"

The Herald on the situation.

E = Z
So delighted is old BENNETT at the passage Q!
STEVENS Bill in the House, and so certain Of the
fall Of the President, that he is beginning to take
compassion at the unfortunate predicament that
functionary finds himself placed In, all because
che would not tako our advice" says the Herald,
So. for MIR. ANDREW JoHNsoN's benefit, Bennett
tells story, and gives the President more advice:
A somewhat famops American traveller, the
Cheyalier Wikof, says that "once upon time" IN
o Journey among the mountains OF Athca, in the
classic lspd Of Greece, he found HIM on bis
donkey in 9 narrow pass, confronted by another
donkey with bis driver walking behind him. The
two donkeys came together face 70 face at point
where it was impossible for either to pass by the
side OF the other, and where it way very dlEcuit,
too for either to back out, In this emergency the
riderlezs donkey with the sagacity Of an old cam,
npon his stomach with his face close to- ths
ground thus making bridge over which the
Gheyalier's donkey and the Chevaher passed in
safety. This done, the prostrate donkey rose
again to his feet, and both donkeys, one east and
the other west, went on their wayrejoicing. Now,
as matters stand, the Cheyaler Wikof's donkey is
sfOld Thad. Stevens, who has the right ef way by
The wall, and the other donkey is Andy Johpso9,
who, by the law Of the road, must yield the wall
or in some way psake 9 passage. Ii ne can't d.
verge from the path without going over the precl,
pice his only alternative is to lie down fiat and
wall braced upon his stomach, and still and steady,
30 that ssOld Thad., with Congress upon his back
NAV yalk right over him. Viii not this be- better
than the example Of Gurtius lesping into the gulf?
We think it vastly better.
