she just seemed to have little CONVEX

child would with its father, and then

How Webster Aided Choate.

Daniel Webster's financiering is the
subject of many anecdotes at Wash
ing:on, and one of them thus describes
how he one day assisted his friend Ru-
fus Choate. Choate needed $500 and
he applied to Mr.. webster. Five hun
dred dollarsp said Webster. NO. T
haven't that amount, but / will get it
for you, Choate.' The latter was glad
to hear it, and would wait. Draw
your note, said Webster, I'll sign
1T and bring you the money. While
you are about it make the note for
a thousand; thousand is as easy
to get as five hundred Mr.. Choate
said that five hundred was all he need
ed. i will take the other five hun.
dred, said Webster. The note was
drawn and Mr. Webster, taking his
cane, went into the avenue. Good
morning, Mr.. Corcoran, good morn
ing, sand he as he entered the great
banking house which was the fiscal
agent of the Government. Good
morning. MIR. Secretary said the
great banker in the blandest manner.
What is it ! can do for you this morn
ing, Mr.. Secretary!' Mr.. Webster
was Secretary of State at that time.
"A little favor for my friend Choate.
He wants little money, and l told
him thought l could get it for him.
A thousand, / believe, he made his
note for, passing the paper to the
banker.
There was no such thing as beata-
ting, much less declining, and so the
banker was only happy to accommo-
date the head of Mr.. Fillmore's Ad.
ministration. The gold was laid out
in two equal piles ut Mr.. Webster's re-
quest. Putting one in each pocket,
and with one OF the bows which Mr..
Webster could only give, be departed.
Here, Choate, here is the five hun
dred,' said the great expounder, enter
ing where Choate was waiting. Hand
ing him the gold, Mr.. Webster resum-
ed his reading where he had been in
terrupted by Choate's entrance. 1t is
further stated that Corcoran has in his
collection of autographs a note for
$1,000 signed by Rufus Choate and
indorsed by Daniel Webster.

ACROSS THE WHEAT.

\ ASNOS0 THh Z WHEAT
The wheat was flowing ankle-deep
Across the field from side to side.
And, dipping in the emerald waves,
The swallows fev in circles vide.
The sun, q moment faring red,
Shot level rays athwart the world,
Then quenched bis FIRE behind the hills,
With rosy sspOrs Ger him curled.
A sweet insinuating calm
calm just one remove from sleep,
Such AZ tranquil watcher feels,
Seeing mid stars al midnight sweep
Through splendid purple deeps, and swing
Their old ripe clusters down the West
To where, on undiscovered bills.
The gods hare gathered them 10 rest.
A calm like that hung over all
The dusky groves, and filtered through
The thorny hedges, touched the wheat
Till every blade was white with dew
Was it dream3 We call things dreams
When We must needs, so, or own
Belief in exploded myths,
Whose very smoke has long since Gown.
Was il a dream2 Mine own eyes saw,
And Ceres came across the wheat,
That, like bright water, dimpled round
The golden sandals oil her feet?
