DANIEL WEBsTER's FRrGnT.-No situation
more perfectly paves the way for hearty
laugh at the end, than that of two strangers
obliged to be together iD mutual terror of
each other. Nothing can be more comically
uncomfortable than couple of honest men
cycling each other askance an hour or two,
when all the time lone is afraid and the
other darsn't."
Upon one occasion. Mr. Webster was on
his way to attend to his duties in Washing
ton. He was compelled to proceed at night
by stage from Baltimore. He had no travel
ing companions and the driver had sort of
felon look, which produced no inconsiderable
alarm with the Senator.
II endeavored to tranquilize myself" said
Mr.. Webster, and had partially succeeded,
when we reached the woods between Bladens-
burg and Washington "a proper scene for
murder or outrage and here, l confess, my
courage again deserted me-"
just then, the driver, turning to me, with
a grutf voice asked my name. | gave it to
him.
"Where are you going ?'' said he.
The reply was, "To Washington. l am a
Senator" -.....s. $500
Upon this the driver seized me ferventlv
by the hand and exclaimed, GLOW glad
am l have been trembling in my seat for
the last hour, for when looked at you l took
you for highwayman." Of course both
parties were relieved.

sOLLUM THOUGHTS.
By JOSH BILLINGS.

The fear of God IL the philosophy ov reli-
gion the lore ov God il the charity ov reli-
gion.
Hope IL hen that lays more eggs than she
kan hatch out.
Better leave yure child virtew than money !;
but this iz sekret known only tew few.
/ honestly believe it IL better tew know
nothing than tew know what amt so.
About the hardest work phellow kan do
is to spark two gals at once, and preserve o
good average.
A nickname will outlive emmy man or
thing; IL like the crook in dogg's taile, you
may cut it oph, and throw it behind the barn,
but the crook is thare yet, and the stump is
the epltsph.
If you analze what most men call plez-
Eure, you will find that it is composed oy one
part humbugg, and two parts pain.
When you hain't got nothing to do, do it
at once this IL the way to learn to be lazy.
We hav bin told that the best way to over
kun misfortunes is tew fight with them-I
hav tried both ways, and recommend sue
cessful dodge.
Thstrue way to understand the judgments
ov Heaven is to submit tew them.
Method is everything, espeshiiy tew ordio-
ary men ; the few men who kan lift tun
at pleasure, have divine right to take holt
ov it tew disadvantage.
The mind ov man iz like piece ov land.
that tew be useful, must be manured with
learning. plowed with energy, sown with vir-
tew and harvested with ekonemy.
WHARF religion IL trade, morality IL a
merchandise.

At special meeting Of the Trustees of the
Peabody Educational Fund, held a, Newport.
on Thursday, July lst. Hon. +. G. Winthrop
in the chair, letter was received from Mr..
George Peabody. stating that be had returned
to America for the purpose of further carry
ing out his plans for Southern education. He
took pleasure in donating to the Trustees the
following securities: 100000 Belvidere and
Delaware Railroad Company's six per cent.
bonds. first mortgage SS0l, Syracuse
and Binghampton Railroad Company seven
per cent. bonds; $4,000 Alabama State
five per cent. bonds; SO 900 city of Louis
vile six per cent. bonds 500 600 louisiana
Consolidated Bank 5's, fully guaranteed hy
the State OF Louisiana, and payable in 1870.
1872, lS74 and 1876 SIS, 900 Ohio and Mis-
sisslppi Railroad first mortgage seven per
cent. bonds; 100000 Columbus, Chicago
and Indiana Central Railroad first mortgage

city four per cent. bonds; $4,000 Pittsburgh
city hve per cent bonds; $4,000 Louisiana
State 6's; 1000 New Orleans city 6's;
1915 cash; amounting in all to ~ 100000
These stocks are all of the very highest char
acter for security, and the dividends are GER
tain to be promptly paid.
Mr.. Peabody says: 1.-The principal sum of
one million dollars, given by first letter of
trust, is still intact the interest on which
being added to that of my present gilt, makes
the ANIMAL revenue of the trust upwards OF
ooe hundred and thirty thousand dollars-a
sum which, in the opinion Of your honorable
chairman and your general agent, is amply
sufficient to meet all the requirements of the
trust, without infringing upon the capital.
until the time arrives for the final distribu-
hnfnra foJ In oll al
foregoing, ! give TO you Florida six per cent,
bonds. which, with overdue coupons, amount
to S3S4,000 These bonds. like the MisSis-
slppl bonds in my first gift, must, before
many years, be paid"
Peabody concludes rs. follows: "All the
stocks have given as above are to be held in
trust by yourselves and your successors, for
the same Purposes and under the same condi-
tions as the funds given you by my original
letter creating your trust. do this with the
earnest hope, and in the sincere trust, that,
with Gods blessing upon the gift and upon
the deliberations and future action of your
selves and your general agent. il may enlarge
the sphere of usefulness already entered up
on and prove permanent and lasting boon,
not only to the Southern States, bat to the
whole of our dear county, which have ever
loved so we'll, but never so mach as now in
my declining years, and at this time (probat,-
ly the last occasion | shall ever have to ad-
dress you) as | look back over the changes
and the progress of nearly three-quarters of q
century. And pray the Almighty God will
grant to it q future as happy AMI noble in
the intelligence and virtues of it's citizens, as
it will be glorious in unexamp!ed power and
prosperity.

Ill TAKE WHAr FATAER TAKEs.--There
is food for thought in the story that is told of
a young lad. who for the first time accom-
panied his father to public dinner. The
waiter asked him. "What will you take to
drink" Hesitating o moment, he replied,
:.I'll take what father taxes The answer
reached bis fathers ear, and instantly the
full responsibility of his position flashed upon
him. Quicker than lightning various thoughts
passed through his mind, and in moment
his decision was made; and In tones tremu-
lous with emotion. aud to the establishment of
those who knew him, he said, Waiter, /

ROMANCE IN MINsTRELsY-Wh would ev-
er imagine that any romance could be found
attached to the profession of minstrely. or that
among the disciples of burnt cork such a
thing as sentiment was ever heard Of Yet
even from them romantic story may be ex-
tracted. Our readers are. many Of them, ac-
quainted with the minstrel troupe of Duprez
& Benedict and it is of the latter gentlemen
that the following story is told:
His father was we'll know New York mer-
chant, who died when the Oldest son was If
teen years old. The property left by the
father the boy termed over to his mother and
sisters, and determined to strike out for him
self. AT seventeen years of age he entered a
law Office, and at twenty-one he completed
his studies, and was pronounced young law
yer with bright future before him. About
this time the young lawyer fell in love with
the daughter Of a wealthy New York mer-
chant, and the love being reciprocated, he
asked him for his daughters hand. Pa was
indignant and 10 forever kill the young law
yers ambition, he told him that when he had
SJO, 900 in cash, his own, be might ask for
the young ladies hand with a hope of success
This was all very nice, but to young lawyer
just putting up his shipgle, $4,000 was a
great deal of money; at least the young law
yer thought so as he figured up how many
briefs he must have to make up that amount
The result of his deliberations was the con-
illusions that if he waited to make this sum
at the bar he could 90 so, but by the time he
had dene 1t, he would be SO old that the ro-
nance of love would be all goue For long
ten days the young lawyer bemoaned his fate,
and then after obtaining promise from the
young lady that she would wait, he disappear
ed from New York. In early life the young
lawyer had quick wit, and one day. meeting
negro minstrel manager named Duprez.
the latter told him he had talent that would
make him $4,000 in FIVE years. In the
young lawyers frame of mind it did not take
long to convince him. and, dropping Coke

THE RRAMBLE FLOWER.

Thy fruit full we'll the school boy knows,
Wild bramhle Of the brake !---ss~
So. put thou forth thy small white rose;
love II for his sake.
Though woodbines Haunt and roses glow
Ger all the fragrant bowers.
Thou need'st not be ashamed to show
Thy satin threaded flowers.
For dull the eye, the heart is dull,
That cahnot feel how fair,
Amid all beauty beautiful,
Thy tender blossoms
How delicate thy gadzy friH,
How rich thy branehy stem.
How soft thy voice when woods are still.
And thou sing'st hymns to them.
While silent showers are falling slow,
And mid the general hush,
A sweet air lifts the little bough,
Some whispering through the bush
The primrose to the grave is gone;
The hawthorn flower is dead
The violet by the mossed gray stone
Hath laid her weary head,
But thou, wild bramble back dost briag,
In all their beauteous power,
The fresh green days of lifes fair spring,
Aud boyhood's blossomy hour;
Scorned bramble of the brake ones more
Thou bidd'st me be boy,
To CAD with thee the woodlands DER,
In freedom and in Joy.
