How Daniel Webster Prepared his
Speeches.

In one Of the debates in Congress,
which suddenly called Daniel Webster
to his feet, he made n brief but most
eloquent speech, apparently without
any opportunity for previous prepara-
ton. In the course Of his remarks, he
threw out the following sentence,
which has ever since been admired as
one of the most harmonious and eX-
pressive in the English language. He
was speaking Of our military conflict
with Great Britain: "Our fathers
raised their flag against 4 power to
which, for purposes of foreign conquest
and subJugation, Rome, in the hight Of
her glory, is not to be compared a
power which has dotted over the whole
globe with erpossession and her mil
ltaty posts, whose morning drum-beat,
following the sun in its course and
keeping pace with the hours, circles
The earth with one continuous and un-
broken strain Of martial airs of Eng
land" As lie sat down one of the Sen
ators congratulated him upon his
speech, and abiding to the above pas
sage, said that to him it was incon-
ceivable how Mr.. Webster in n speech
50 mauilestly unprecedented, could
have formed so perfect and so bcauti-
ful n sentence, which with hours of
study, he could not improve. Mr..
Webster replied that the passage was
not eX!emporaneous that IN his sum
mer vacation he had visited Quebec,
and While standing on the massive
and almost impregnable citadel thete,
looking out upon the Wondrous scene
Of national grandeur and of natures
loyelincss spread before him, the idea
occurred to his mind. He immediate
~ took his seat upon Il gun, and with
pencil and paper, sketched the thought
in the most appropriate language he
c0uldat themoment command. Upon
arriving at his hotel he sat down at his
leisure, and wrote it and rcwrote it,
with many interlineati0ns and era
sufes, until he had moulded it into the
form of words which satisfied him. He
then laid it asidein his retcntive mem
DRY, to be used when the occasion
should offer. The opportunity arose
on that dav.

Don't Tnmncr with Coumn.

Perhaps in the whole category of diseases to
which humanity is susceptible, the cugh is
most neglected in its carly stage. A simple
cough is generally regarded as temporary af-
fliction-unploasant and nothing more; but to
those who have paid dearly for experience, it
is the signal for attack for the most fearful Of
all iscases-Consumption. A cough will lead
to Consumption if not chcckcd-so sure as the
riyulet leads to the river; yet it is an easy enc
my to thwart, if met by the proper remedy,
AHcn's LunG BoIsnm is the great cough remedy
ofthc age, and it has earned its reputation by
merit alone.

BRAKEsMAN KILLED.-A brakeman
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
named D. NJ. Burley, was killed on
Sunday night or yesterday morning,
while his train was near Cameron. He
was jumping from one car to another
and fell between them, the wheels of
the cars passing over and killing him
instantly. This was only the second
trip the unfortunate man had made on
the road. He was formerly school
master, we believe He leaves a wife
and family to mourn his loss.

were discovered to be on fire. Luckily
quite number Of persons were visiting
at Mrs. Nichols house, and these turn

down after an hour or twos battle.
When the fire was first discovered 1t
had burned over the greater portion OF
the meadow behind the hill, and out OF
view from the house. and some eight
or ten haltgrown boys and young men
were sitting on the fences watching the
blaze. These ran off when they saw
the party approaching from the house,
and made their escape without being
recognized Fortunately the fire was
discovered and extinguished in time to
save, in great measure, the fences from
destruction. We are informed that
parties are in the habit Of prowllng
round this farm at night, evidently
with no good intent, and that on Thurs

barn at two ladies Of the family who
were standing just outside of the door
