AnecdOte of Daniel Webster.

ENHE London Sun contains a pleasant
1 sketch of Daniel Webster, which
concludes with the following amusing an
ecdote of this distinguished orator and
statesman
Mr.. Webster, just before Lafayette's
last visit to America, formed one in
fishing party in Massachusetts, Bay. He
had been selected to deliver the welcom-
ing speech to the Frenchman on his ap-.
preaching visit, and during his occupa-
ton of hauling up goldfish and tautog,
he was observed to be very abstracted.-
1t appeared afterwards that he must have
been studying that part of his speech, in
which he afterwards addressed Layfay-
cite, for gentleman who was fishing
next to him observed him pulling in his
line, hand over hand, with some Difficult
ty, as if large fish was hooked, yet with
out exhibiting any satisfaction on his
face at having captured prize. At
length the fish was seen approaching the
surface, and cleaning through the green
waters, like lively bladder of quicbsil-
yer; still Webster's face gave no smil-
ing welcome but just as the fish came
to the surface, he burst out with, even
cradle man the representative of the tive
hemispheres, welcome to our shores ?
and down Topped the monster cod on thu
deck.

by the sibilant sounds of the escaping

When she came bacl-it is but just
to state that she stopped to take the two
pans of buttermilk biscuit out Of the oven
and to reach down sundry tumblers Of
amber jelly from the top shelf of the
cupboard-Col. Falconer and Becky
Harland were snug and confidential on
the front porch. Becky blushed little
when Miss Towers came out, but she did
not withdraw her hand from Maurice
Falconers.
"Well," said the lady, after a single
keen glance through the gold spectacles,
I s'pose shall lose my hired help"
Yes; but then, sister Eunice," said
the Colonel, /" I shall gain such sweet

A Funny Incident.

A 7 the Albany Museum, some years
IN since, wax figures were in vogue.
On the Fourth of July, 1852, a patri-
otic addition to the show being desired,
Chas. Salisbury, a comical genius, notori-
GUS for practical jokes, was chosen to rep
resent George Washington, and Of course
was dressed in the traditional costume
The doors had just been opened for the
evening performance, and visitors had
commenced thronging the curiosity rooms
when mischievous idea struck Mr..
Salisbury, who, opening the door Of one
of the wax work cases, unobserved, took
a position among the figures, and tried to
look as immovable as possible. A coun-
tryman, and his wife and daughter, a
young miss of eighteen, were the first
who entered AS the young lady ap-
preached Washington, he bestowed on
her most unfatherly wink.
"Good gracious, ma" exclaimed she,
"that figure of Washington winked at
me-"
" Nonsense, child" exclaimed her ma,
you are so conceited you think every
body is in love with you"
But at this moment she was almost
specchless herself, for the venerable
W Washington had applied his fingers tc
his nose in a very suggestive manner
40, William" she exclaimed, grasp
ing her husbands arm, "look at that"
What is it ?" asked William; " why
I believe you women folks are crazy"
At this moment General Washington
struck belligerent attitude, and uttereo
terrific yell. In an instant the Who'll
party tumbled down stairs pell nell, anC
related the wonderful story, while Wash
ington quietly clipped off to his dressing
room, laughing in his sleeve at the jok
he had practiced

Female Patriotism.

81 A GOOD lady-we knew her when
IN she had grown old-in 1775,
lived on the seaboard, about days march
from Boston, where the British army
then was. By some unaccountable acci-
dent, a rumor was spread in town and
country, that the regulars were on full
march for that place, and would probably
arrive in three hours.
This was after the battle of Lexing-
ton, and all, as might be supposed, was
in sad confusion; some were boiling with
rage, and full of fight; some, in fear
and confusion, were hiding their treas
ures; and others flying for life. In this
wild moment, when most people, in some
way or other, were frightened from their
property, our heroine, who had two sons,
one about 10 years, the other about l6.
was seen by our informant preparing to
discharge them to their duty.
The eldest she was able to equip in
fine style; she took her husbands fowl-
ing piece made for duck or plover, (the
good man being absent on coasting voy-
age to Virginia,) and with it the powder
horn and shot-bag. But the lad think
ing the duck and goose shot not quite
the size to kill regulars, his mother took
a chisel, cut up her pewter spoons, ham
mered them into slugs, and put them into
his bag, and he set off in great earnest,
but thought he would call one moment
and see the parson, who said Well done,
my brave boy! God preserve you !" and
on he went in the way Of his duty.
The youngest was importunate for his
equipments, but his mother could find.
nothing to arm him with, but rusty old
sword. The boy seemed rather unwilling
to risk himself with this alone, but linz
gered in the street in state of hesita-
ton, when his mother thus upbraided
him: You John II, what will
your father say, if he hears that a child
of his is afraid to meet the British =? Go
along-beg or borrow gun, or you will
, find one, child some coward will be run
ming away, 1 dare say; then take his gun
and march forward and if you come
back, and [ hear you have not behaved
yourself like man, / shall carry the
blush of shame on my face to the grave
She shut the door, wiped the tear
; from her eye, and awaited the issue
The boy joined the march"

A Fish Story.

We met boy on the street recently,
and without the ceremony Of asking our
name, he exclaimed;
You just orter be down to the river
a while ago"
Why?" we inquired.
Because niger was in there swim
ming, and big catfish came up beliEd
him and swallowed both of his feet and
went swimming along on top of the water
with him, and they came up behind an
other big fish, and the nigger swallow
ed his tail, and the niger and two fish
went swimming aboutN
"Well, then, what2" we asked.
why, after while the niger swal-
lowed his fish, and the other fish swallow
ed the niger, and that's the last / saw of
them"
Sonny" said we, with feelings of
alarm for the boy, "you are in a fair way
to become the editor of apaper;" and VIC
left him."

A Musical Fright.

A few weeks since the Alleghonians,
Vocalsts, and the Swiss Bell Ringers,
through their agent, d. G. Waldon Esq,
secured the Methodist church in West
ern town, for the purpose Of giving the
first concert of the kind ever advertised
in the place. While the troupe We're
singing that descriptive quartette-" The
Ship on Fire." and as usual the tenor
makes the ventriloquil cry of fire fire !!
fire the old sexton of the church seized
the bell rope, hanging down in the sing
ing seats, and pulled away with might
and main-men, women, and children
screamed fire alarmed the whole neigh
borhood, and it was full half hour be-
fore quiet was restored. This little Incl
dent, says a Western paper, has adyer-
tiscd the Alleghenians everywhere, and
nightly they are called upon to repeat
this distinguished quartette, which the
old sexton wished to extinguish.

The best part OF all manures is that
which Is SOLUBLE. that which is already
disslved or can be diSslvcd in water When
barn manure is thoroughly leached there j.
little left except the woody flbrous matter,
which is about as good as sawdust. The
rich phosphates and nitrogen compounds
are easily dissolved out: in fact they are
all dissolved beforehand in the urine, and
ifthis be not saved by being run into tank
or absorbed by some dry material the best
is quickly wasted and gone beyond recall.
For this purpose, one of the most readily
obtainable substances is swamp muck
which can generally be dug out and drawn
to the barnyard during the winter season
1t will be all the better if il has been dug
and laid by in piles TO dry for some time
before using; but even where that i
not done, it will answer TO employ as an alb
sorbent, by spreading it over the yard in a
thick layer, and afterwards adding a suffi-
cient amount as frequently as occasion re
quires.
But il should be remembered that no
goodness or fertilizing virtues are ever
found in excrementary manure except what
goes into II from the food ofthe animal
Neither horse; cow nor pig can make
something out OF nothing They can only
digest the food given them and throw of
the portions not needed for their own sys-
TENS.

COLLECTING MANURE.-The collection OF

riching the soil, should be allowed TO 90

ALsIKE CLOVER.


"Aisike clover is 3 species that reached
this country ten years ago, or more. Its
name Is obtained from the parish of Alsike
in Upland, (Sweden.) 1t is found in
wild state through much of Sweden. also
in Norway and Finland. In the present
century it has been introduced into cult
walton through those northen countries,
and is now known As Swedish clover in
England, Scotland. Denmark, Germany
and France.
Compared with the two other clovers
before known TO US. the Alsike differs so
as to disclose to me the following char
acteristics
LIST, 1t Is hardy, more permanent than
the red clover, and retains its hold many
years.
I'd, It branches very much-throws out
many stalks from one root; thus affording
good crop with thin seeding. Indeed,
think 1t should be sown thin, that the roots
may have room, so rs to obtain strength
to strike deep into the subsoil
Sd, 1t bears cropping by cattle well
thus proving its adsptabilit TO pasturage.
4th, 1t continues longer in condition to
be cut as hay than any other forage plan,
that know. 1t throws out great num-
Der ofheads from each stalk coming into
bloom successfully for a month or more.
When the most of the heads are ripe, the
stalks and leaves are still in condition 10
make excellent hay.
