Daniel Webster was firm believer in
Divine revelation, and a close student Of
lis sacred pages. On one occasion, a small
company of select friends spent an evening
at his house. Tea over, the Bible, and tie
relative beauties Of its several parts, be-
came the topic of conversation. Each one
of the guests had preference. When the
turn came 10 Webster, he said "The mas

rival, no equal As TO the Old Testament
writings, my favorite book is that of Ha-

continued Webster, 81 regard as one Of the
suhlimest passages of inspired literature.
And often have | wondered, that some
artist, equal TO the task, has not selected
the prophet and his scene of desoiation as
the subject Of painting.
when In Paris, some years age con-
timed Mr.. Webster, Il received an account
q a French in6del, who happened to find
in drawer Of his library some stray
leaves of an unknown volume. Although
in the constant habit Of denouncing the
Bible, like most inidel writers, he had
never read any part of it, These fugitive
leaves contained the above payer Of Habak-
kuk. Being a man OF fine literary taste,
he was captivated with its poetic beauty,
and fastened 70 the clubhouse, TO an
nounce the discovery to his associates. OF
course they were anxious TO know the
name Of the gifted author to which In
quiries the elated infdel replied "A writer
by the name Of Habba-kook, of course, a

was SO enthusiastically admiring was not
