STILL ANOTHER ANEcDoTH OF DANIEL
WEBsrEn.--A Boston correspondent as
sures Huper's Magazine that the follow
ing, one Of the many funny anecdotes
that Portsmouth IN. II people tell Of
Mr.. Webster, has not appeared in print :
During Mr.. WIS residence iE that city
in his younger days, there was furniture
dealer named Judkns, doing business in
the town, who was very we'll informed,
as well as ambitioussman. lie was pat
ronized by Mr.. Webster, who often drop.
ped into the shop to order or superintend
the making OF some piece Of furniture.
These opportunities OF conversing with a
man so learned as Mr.. w. we're the de-
light of Mr.. Judkins life and, on the re-
mova Of the former to Boston, the pay
ment % considerable debt due Mr.. j.
was willingly left for future settlement.
Attempts were made at various times to
collect the dcbt-always in vain. Final.
Iy, Mr.. Judkins determined to go to Bos-
ton and see Mr.. Webster himself, He
reached the city after long and fatigu.
ing stage ride, and, making o Sunday
toilet, proceeded to the largo house on
the corner of High and Summer streets.
"Is Mr. Webster in I" asked he Of the
servant WHO answered the bell. "Yes,

In far off climes of orient seas.
Is found an isle of vine-clad trees,
Where incense sweet, from tropic flowers,
Floats mid the shady myrtle bowers,
And singing birds of beauty rare.
Dsport meath skies forever fair.
And in that isle river bright
Flows gently onward, day and night
Mid many note of Joy and love.
From nightengale and cooling dove,
But not sound of human pain
Till its glad waves reach the ocean main.
But oh sweet maid, a light more fair
Hath thy young life than sught found there;
And melodies more sweet than song
Of sweetest birds those bowers among,
OIL may it like that rsdient stream
As gently HUw as come bright dream.
And never hear tn UNIV same sound
Of sorrows voice thy pats around:
Drink every sweet. taste every bliss,
That's known in sphere Of life like this
Flow gently on, in joy and love
Till it join the good and pure above.

| The TRUTH GAINING GROUND. The
question of Bible reading and other forms
of Protestant education in the pnblis
schools, involving the question whether the
State may not preach from the pulpit, is
attracting serious attention among intelli-
gent and right-minded citizens in all parts
of the country. We make the following
extract from a sermon on Religious Educa-
tion, by Rev. ID. r. Brewer, of the Church
of the Reformation, Brooklyn, which, as
far as it goes, is to the point. After declin-
ing to side with those who consider that
all schools ought to have religious educa-
ti2n connected with them, he proceeds:
There is another party, which replies to
the first one in this way that the State was
never intended to teach religion; that its
purpose is wholly secular; that its object
is to make intelligent citizens, and not good
Christians. Therefore, it is wrong to in
troduce creeds and catechisms, and even,
in many cases the Bible itself, into the
public schools; that these ought to be left
to religious institutions. I, my friends, as
/ have said beforehand, after careful re-
consideration, am still ready to say it
again. sympathize with the views of this
latter party. 1 believe the state is not in
tended, either in its own nature or by any

its duty, its Office is entirely distinct; and
L believe, moreover, that wherever there
are persons in the community who pay
their taxes to raise the means for support
ing public schools, and who object to the
reading of our version of the Bible, it is
wrong, it is unjust, to force it upon them
1 am not willing to compel others to do
what should be unwilling to endure N.Y.
self. Suppose the Roman Catholic Church,
for instance, should become more powerful
and dominant in our State and city. Sup
pose majority of the voters belonging to
that form of religion should pass law that
every morning with recitations from the
Roman Catholic catechism or reading from
the Roman version of the Bible. Should
not we Protestants protest against it as an
fnjusticeq

County Meath.

A correspondent of the New York Her.
aid, writing from the above county, gives
the following description of what he saw.
A correspondent of the same paper was
arrested shortly afterwards at Trim:
In no county of Ireland is the proportion
of waste to arabic land SO small as in
Meath. This is owing chiefly, if not entire
ly, to the fact that in the whole county
there is not single mountain, nor even a
rugged hill, the entire surface being one
vast plain, which is clothed with the rich
esq verdure / have ever cast my eyes upon.
1t is no exaggeration for me to say that
the external aspect of Meath exceeds any-
thing have ever seen in luxuriant Eug-
land, and surpasses itS l think, in natural
richness and fertility. The country on
every side presents truly magnificent APP
pearance-large, green fields, enclosed
with luxurianG hedges, and sheltered by
noble trees; waving woods and hills
covered with the brightest verdure not a
cabin meets the eye; splendid farm houses,
consisting for the most part of a. dwelling
aud long ranges OF offices for cattle ; aud
there are few tourists they whlrl at
railway speed across those rich plains who
will not with difficulty hiing themselves to
believe that they are iii dIscouteuted Ire

week after week FROM her shores, as If they
were fly ing from some terrible disease.

cd, and tho humble inWa*es have sither
gone into towns OF have emixratod to
America. The only laborers employed in
1.-THE country parts Of Meath are those In
charge of the cattle, and as the farms here
are for the most part of immense size, very
small number Of such persons are required.
Another class of persons have also, by
the fOulest means, been driven from this
the small landh0lders.
There are, strange to say, no small farms
in Meath. The work of consolidation has
been carried on for years, with vigor and
success that monld ast0nish you. The
landlords and the graziers united together
in order to drive the humble peasant and
the honest nottingham from their homes.
1t would, from what have heard, be diff
cult to say whether the laudlordsor the
grazier had the greater hand in this foul
work. With both rests the blame- But it
the more guilty when the work il done.
Every one appears crestfallen but the
government officials, whose pomposity and
insDlence have increased in proportion to
the degradation OF the people. The magis-
trates look as if they were the arbiters of
the fate of nations, and the police, even
when they strut through the streets, appear
absorbed in the contemplation of their own
mightiness and the nOthingness of those
aronnd them. The people are, at all events,
at their mercy. The most Insignificant
government officer can, if he wishes, bring
ruin upon whole families, not one of whom,
as the law at present stands, can do more
than protest against the injustice; and
under thu existing state of things his pro-
testations are of little use. A social war
is being wagsd between the upper and
middle classes more fierce, more relentless,
more lasting than any recorded in history.
When or how it is to end no one knows.
Why, let mo ask, Is this feeling so strong
in Meathf 1t is because, as I have already
mentioned, the landlords and the wealthy
farmers or graziers made common cause to-
gether against the humber tenants and
laboring classes. They drove them out of
their homes, not because the poor people
were unable to live and pay their rents,
but simply because they wanted their
places for themselves. IF these lordlings
are now surprised at the feeling which
animates the lower classes against them,
they need only remember their own con-
duct not many years ago, and ask them
selves whether such conduct ought to be
allowed to pass with impunity. They
should remember the lines of one of the
sweetest but most unfortunate of poets
(Goldsmith,) whose early life was passed
not far from the rich plains from which 1
now write:
Princes and lords may flourish OF may fade
A breath can make them, q breath has made;
But q bold peasantry their country pride,
When once destroyed can never be supplied
