THE SAGE OF MARSHFlELD

Mrs. Webster's "reminiscences Of the
home lie of her husband, Daniel Web.
ster, are simply but freely given, and
two anecdotes, not before published
illustrates his wel.known and singular
absence of mind. The first refers to a
lunch party.
The custom was that tho pie dear
to the Eastern hcart--should be divid.
ed according to the number Of those
present Mr.. Webster on the occasion
in question, having looked around the
room, deliberately carried through the
operation of carving" and the pieces
having been distributed, he found him
self with an empty platter for his own
share. He had while counting the
guests succeeded in escaping his own
notice.
When studying law cases bis habit
was TO leave his books open at the
places where he had been consulting
precedent or authority, and u young
man who was studying with him had
adopted the habit Of following Mr..
Webster through the passages consult
cd, in order TO arrive at an idea OF the
probable course Of his argument. On
one occasion be found in one of the
books the place marked by a $50 bill.
Mr.. Webster was notoriously forgetill
in money matters, and this was taken
as sample OF his forgetfulness. When
he returned to the room, bis attention
was directed to the bill. II haven't
missed any money be said, so il Ger.
tainly cannot be mine" The young
man declared in parallel terms that IL
could not be his. Mr.. Webster per-
sisted in refusing II, on the plea that
he could not appropriate anything that
he did not know TO be his own. The
student replied that he was precisely
in the same position. To solve the
problem Mr.. Webster turned to the
manuscript of q fourth Of July oration,
which he had recently delivered, d.
rectcd the student TO use the $50 bill
in having il printed, and to keep the
proceeds of the publication, which
proved TO be considerable amount.
One of the most interesting episodes
Of their married life was the visit to
Europe in 1889. The manner in
which it came about was singular Mr..
Webster was worn by his continuous
devotion to his public duties, but de.
clincd to listen to the most strenuous
urging TO recruit his health and
strength by rest. Mrs. Webster there
lore resorted TO n very innocent STRAIT
agem to carry her point. After con.
sutation with her physician, she man
aged 10 persuade that gentleman that
her system and condition demanded
change of air and scene. The repre-.
sentative of the faculty prescribed
trip to Europe. The ruse was perfect.
ly successful, and ostcnsibly for the
sake of his wifc Mr.. Webster was car.
ried of to the old world to recruit and
enjoy the relaxation be had on his own
account declined. The entire proceed.
ing was entirely characteristic Of both
husband and wife. They accordingly
sailed, carrying letters to many inilu-

Tnr USlvrnsrrY OF HARD KNOCK

A great deal of useless sympathy is
in this day expended upon those who
start out in life without social or mon.
etary help. Those arc most TO be con
graduated who have at the beginning
o rough tussle with circumstances
John Ruskin sets il down as one of his
calamties that in early lite he had
"nothing to endure" A petted and
dandled childhood makes q weak and
inslpid man. You say that Ruskin
Just quoted dsproves the theory. No
lie is showing in detected, splcnetic,
and irritable old age the need of the
early cudgeling of adversely. A little
experience of the hardship Of life would
have helped to make him gratefully
happy now. No Drawn of character
without compulsory cxertion. The
men who sit strong in their social,
financial, and political elevations are
those who did their own climbing.
Misfortune is a rough nurse, but she
raises giants. Let our young people,
instead of succumbing TO the influences
that would keep them back and down,
take them as parallel bars, and dumb
bells, and weights Of tho gymnasium,
by which they are to get muscle for
the strife. Consent not TO beg your
way TO fortune, but achieve II. God
is always on the side Of the man who
does bis best God helps the man who
tries 10 overcome difficulties.
