those who hire two rooms and pay by the

Advice from Webster.

In a notice of the funeral of Sem
ator Fessenden, a writer in the
Portland Argus, concludes as fol-
lows:
Some thirty five years ago-and
perhaps more-Daniel Webster
contemplated. journey to our
Western States an d Territories
which be bad never visited. The
great statesmen felt inclined to
have some talented young man to
accompany him, and in looking
over New England for such com
panion his attention was attracted
to yonmg Fessenden, and he ex-
tended to him an invitation to trav-
el with him. The young man glad,
ly accepted the invitation, for he
was ambitious and felt that it
would be an honor as we'll as an
advantage, to accompany in his
iourneyings such man as Daniel
Webster, whose fame, both as a
lawyer and as statesman, was
last looming up before the Ameri,
can people, If it had not already
reached it's height. Young Fes,
! senden did accompany him, and
never had cause to regret it.
Many time and often has the
young man told us how he enjoy.
ed the journey, and what advan-
tages he derived from it tor Mr..
Webster treated him with great
kindness, and gave him much good
advice which he treasured up in
his memory. Webster told him
| how hard he had studied, and how
! careful he was in making ont pa
| pers when he commenced the prac-
| tice of law. lie said he never let
o writ or other legal document
pass from his hands until he baG
| read them over three times a
least. And he further remarked
that while many yonng men were
idling away their time he was trim
ming the midnight lamp.
1 Now" said Webster, / hav,
acquired some fame both ss lawye
and a orator, an d have mad
speeches in which have occurre'
some figures and illustrations OF
ten quoted, and which have al
ready passed into mottoes. An,
now, do you suppose these ters
sayings were made from the spu
of the momentl BY no means

they were the result of previous
study-and close study too. Some
of my best illustrations of thought
have been studied and trimmed
down when the fishingrod was in
my hands. The words which SO
ftly represent England's power, so
often quoted and so much praised,
were strung together while / stood
on the American side of the st.
Lawrence River. n ear Niagara
Falls, and heard the British drums
beating on the Canada side"
Many other statements he made
to young Fessenden which we re-
collect, but which we have not
space to make a record of now, all
of which prove very conclusigely
that there is no royal road to hrn-
ing. Young Fessenden has often
told the writer that his Jour
neying with Daniel Webster was
the best school he ever attended;
and the lessons he received from
that great man were never forgot
ten hence we come to the. conclu-
sion that William Pitt Fessenden
was harder student than many
have supposed him to- be. 1t is
not too much to say, perhaps, that
his keen logic, his terse language,
his power of condensation, Lis
clear statements andrsharpness in
debate may be- traced to the les.
sons which Webster gave him
while journeying with him to the
West. Young men who are ambi-
tious to excel in their professions
will do well to make a note of these
things, and govern themselves &C.
cOrdingly. ~ .a---

Dressiness in Church Ont of Taste.
The New York Oheervar ooyo .

Dressiness in Church Ont of Taste.
The New York Observer says |:
Harper's Bazaar has some reputa-
ton in tho fashionable world, and
is certainly free from the charge
ofprudery. Many may give heed
to criticisms of dress in such a Jour-
nal who would not listen to sug.
gestions Of those speaking from a
professedly religious STANDPOINT.
Yet this fashionable authority thus
denounces the display Of dress that
is so common in our houses of wor-
ship: "The best bred people of
every Christian country but our
own avoid all personal display
when engaged in worship an d
prayer. Our churches, on th e
contrary, are made places for the
exhibition of fine apparel and other
costly and Haunting compliances
with fashion, by those who boast
of superior wealth and mannexs.
We shall leave our eew- -gawed de.
voices to reconcile humiliation in
worship with vanity in dress.
How far fine clothes may affect the
personal piety of the devotee We
do not pretend even to conjecture
but we have q very decided opin-
ion in regard to their influence
upon the religion of others. The
fact is, that our churches are so
futtering with birds of fine feath-
ers that no sorry fowl will venture
in. 1t is impossible for poverty,
in rags and patches or even in de-
cent but humble costume, to take
its seat, if it should be so fortunate
as to find place, by the side of
wealth in brocade and broadcloth.
The church being the only place
on the side of the grave designed
for. the rich and poor to meet to.
gether in equal humility before
God, it certainly should always be
kept free to all. 1t is 80 in most
of the churches in Europe, where
the beggar in rags and wretched-
ness and the wealthiest and most
eminent, whose appropriate sobrie.
ty of dress leaves them without
mark of external distinction, kneel
down together, equalized by com.
mon humiliation before the only
Supreme Being. The adoption Of
a more simple attire for church on
the part of the rich in this country
would have the eflect-certainly
not of diminishing their own per-
sonal piety, but probably of in
creasing the disposition for religi-
Gus observance on the part of the
poor" p, .f ..

The steamer Stonewall, Captain
Scott, left ST. Louis on Tuesday
evening for New Orleans, heavily
laden with horses, mules, hay, and
ether freight, and carrying about
$50 passengers. On Wednesday
evening at 81 o'clock, when below
Cairo, she took fire, and an effort
was made to run her ashore. She
was run on q bar, beyond which
was deep water for 100 yards be-
tween the ship and land. The
flames spread with great rapidity,
and caused great confusion and
terror among the passengers, of
whom many were women and
children. Scores of men leaped
into the river, and were lost i'm at
tempting to reach the shore. The
pilot, engineer, coal-stoker, carpen-
ter, and forty-four passengers, are
known TO be saved. The captain,

Who Was Junius.

ihe discovery OF Junius, so Of

scientific expert in handwriting.

but. The results will shortly be
made public, together withIfac sim
lies OF the autographs of Jurius's
Letters to Woodfall and George
Greenville. ... SIS p
We shall await with some inter.
est the revelations of the Hon. Mr..
Twiselton. But we have grave
doubts of the truth of any proofs
which may be adduced, if they 90
to establish any other theory than
that the elder Pitt was the substan-
tial author OF the letters, aud ihis
secretary, Sir Phillip Francis, the
actual composer of til m. We
have evidence in Virginia, which
does not admit of question of the
direct part which Sir Philip Fran
cis played in the affair. He found
it convenient, when the feeling and
curiosity excited by the Junius let
ters was at its height in London, to
send his private secretary as a per-
manent settler in America. This
persons name was Baylor. He
came to Virginia and purchased
large estates. lie brought with him
copysin manuscript made by
himself, as each letter went to
press, of this entire series of tho
Junius letters. This voluminous
manuscript is now extant, in the
possession of son of Mr.. Baylor,
who is a highly respected and we'll
know citizen ofour Commonwealth.
This cotemporaneous manuscript
copy of the letters Of Junius, made
by the private g Secretary and
amenuensis of Sir Phillip Francis,
actually settles, in connection with
the easily substantiated facts of its
origin and authenticity, the au-
thorship of the Junius letters. If
the disclosures of Mr., Twisclton
shall coincide with the facts which
we now present for the first time
in print, his investigations will
have proven valuable If they
shall not do so, we incline to be-
1 lieve that they will be of little
worth.-Richnaond State Journal.
