A story of Daniel Webster.

There are several ieresting anec
dotes related of Daniel Webster, who
was the foremost lawyer, statesman,
diplomatist and orator in America. In
the early years Of his professional life,
blacksmith called upon h m for advice
concerning the title 10 small estate
bequeathed to him. AS the terms OF
the will were peculiar, and the kind OF
estate transmitted doubtful. an attempt
had been made 10 annul the will.
After Mr.. Webster had examined the
case he was unable to give a diEnite
opinion on il for want of legal authori-
ties. He therefore, at considerable eX-
pense, purchased a number Of extra
law books from Boston, and spent his
leisure hours OF seseral weeks 10 re-
ierriug to them. He successfully ar
gued the case on It's trial, when it was
decided in bis favor. On account of
the poverty of the blacksmith, Mr..
Webster only charged him sl5, intend
ing rot only 10 suffer The loss OF money
paid out, but the time occupied 10
securing the verdict. After a long
period had elapsed the case was for
gotten; but not the knowledge which by
il was won. On one OF his journeys to
Washington, Mr.. Webster spent few
days in New York City. when the cele.
Grated Aaran Burr sought bis advice in
very important case then pending in
the State court. Having heard the
facts on which 1t was founded, Mr..
Webster perceived a! once tina; it ex.
actly corresponded with the black
smiths will case. On being asked If
he could mention the law applicable 10
such, he Immediately replied that he
could, and then began to quote deci-
sons bearing upon the case from the
time OF Charles III. AS he went on
citing his array of principles and au-
thorities with great precision, Mr..
Burr rose 10 astopishment and asked
with some warmth, Mr.. Webster,
have you been before consulted in this
case p Most certainly not, he replied.
L never heard Of yonr case until this
evening" Very well, said Mr.. Burr,
proceed Mr.. Webster concluded the
quotation of his authorities and recelv.
ed from Mr.; Burr the highest praise
Tor his profound legal Knowledge, and a
fee sufficiently large 10 remunerate
him for all the time aud trouble he de
yote1 and expense incurred in the
blacksmllh's will case.

Maud Muller and the Apples

Maud Muller stood one summer day,
Quietly raking the new-mown hay.
In the apple orchard, plain to be seen,
Was plenty of fruit, both hard and green.
Rashly she ate green apples, till she
Was doubled up like the letter V.
With pain in her stomach and tears in hereye
Maud Muller thought she would surely die.
But soon came an end Of her woeful grief,
For PAIN KILLER brought her sweet relief.

THE EARLY RAIN.

THE EARLY RAIN.
Down through the misty air,
Down from the gloom above,
Falling, pattering everywhere,
The rain comes quick With love.
Softly the misselthrush
Sings in the golden storm
The robin under laurel bush
Waits for tomorrow morn.
Drip, drip, drip from the caves,
Pit, pit, pit on the pane,
Swish. swish swish on the drenchsd leaves,
List 'tis the song Of the rain.
Grasses are bending low,
Green s the corn and thick;
You can almost see the nettles grow'
They grew so strong and quick.
Soft lie the wind from the west,
Softer the rains low sigh
The sparrow washes his smoky breast,
And watches the gloomy sky.
Stirred are the boughs by the breeze
Scarcely leaf is still,
Something is moving among the uees'
Like restless spirit Of i'll.
Standing watching the rain,
Do you seem to hear
The voice Of God outspeaking again
To mans uDgrateful ear?
Pro missing plenty and peace,
Gamers with treasure heaped,
That seed-time and harvest shall not cease
Til the harvest Of earth be resped.
