Daniel Webster as a Hay Maker.

Mr.. John Taylor, who resided on the
Webster farm at Franklin, N. H, tells
the following about the "great iSecre-
tary:" "One day we had fourteen tons
CT English hay we'll made and ready to
put in the barn in the afternoon. 1t was
a busy day on the farm, and ali who
could handle rake or pitchfork were
pressed into the service. When we
came in to lunch in the afternoon, Mr..
Webster entered the kitchen and in
playful manner and tone ofvoice said. :"
John Taylor, what wages will you
give me to work for you this afternoon?'
"I will give you half a dollar, sir
"'Why John Taylor l cannot afford
to work for that price, and you under
rate my abilities. | can pitch as much
hay as any other man.
1T is ON the supposition, sir, that
you are a good man that [ offer you
those wages; we get our best men for
one dollar day. l replied.
If that Is the case John Taylor, |
am your man. ] will finish my CORE
spondence with the department, eat an
early dinner, and be ready to take the
field with yOu,' As incoming on that day
was short, and by the time the teams
were ready Mr. Webster made his ap-
pearance, we drove into the field; the
hay lay in windrows. Mr.. Webster and
myself pitched on the same cart. He
took a windrow on one side, and the
other. A ton was put on the cart, when
he took the whip and drove it up to the
barn, leaving me i'll the meantime at
work in the field. When unloaded he
returned with the empty cart, upon
which we pitched a ton. making in ali
three tons between us that afternoon,
and one ton and one-half as his part of
the work. 1t was hot afternoon, and
| observed what 1 had before seen when
he used muscular exertion, he sweat
more profusely than most men; it liter
ally poured off of him like rain.
"When l met him the next morning,
said he, John Taylor, l have slept
sounder and feel in better health than
usual. How l wish / could only live as
you do! A farmers life is the most
rational mode of existence; good food.
home-raised, with healthful work for
the day and sound sleep for the night.

heart and strong hands,"

Sweet Henle.

When two young people love each
other and marry, they restore the pic
ture of the apostolic church. The are
of one heart and soul. Neither do they
say that anything they possess is their
own, but they have all things in COM
mon. Their mutual trust in each other
draws all that is best in both. Love is
the angel who rolls the stone from the
CARVE in which we bury our better
nature, and it comes forth. Love makes
all things new; makes all cares light,
all pain easy. Il is the one enchant-
ment in human life which realizes For
tunio's purse, and Aladdin's palace,
and turns the Arabian Nights" into
mere prose by comparison. Before
real society can come, true homes must
come. AS in a sheltered nook in the
midst of q great sea of ice which rolls
down the summit of Mount Blanc is
found a little green spot full of tender
flowers, so in the shelter of home, in
the warm atmosphere of household
love, spring UP the pure affections of
parent and child, father, mother, son,
daughter; of brothers and sisters. What
ever makes this insecure and divorce
frequent, makes of marriage, not
union for life, but an experiment which
may be tried as often as we may
choose, abandoned when we like. and
this cuts up by the roots all the dear
affections of home; leaves children Or
phaned, destroys fatherly and mother
ly love, and is virtual dissolution of So
ciety. | know the great difficulties of
this question, and how much is required
TO solve them. But whatever weakens
the permanence Of marriage tends to
dissolve society; for permanent homes
are to the social state what little cells
are to the body. They are the COM
mencement of organic life, the centre
from which, of necessity, all organiza-
ton must proceed.
