His Thankless Life
DANIEL wEBsTER's DISAPPOINTMENT
AS HE TOLD IT TO AN INTIMATE
FRIEND.
Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer.

Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer.
Daniel Webster, it is known, was
poor. He had the power to make
money but not to keep it, for lis house
was as open as the day to melting
charity. His only son, a man of fine
intellect and character, but like his par
ents of little wealth, asked of the Tay-
or administration an Office, which no
one doubted he was competent to fill.
The result is told in the words of Mr..
Webster TO one of his intimate friends.
The conversation occurred while Taylor
was still President.
"If | were to live my life over again
with my experience, | would under no
circumstances and from no considera-
ton, allow myself to enter public life.
The public is ungrateful. The man
who serves the public most faithfully
receives no adequate reward. la my
own history those acts which have been
before God, the most disinterested and
the least stained by selfish considera.
tions haye been precisely those for
which | have been most freely abused.
No, no, have nothing to do with poll
tics. Sell your iron, eat no bread of
dependence, support your family with
the rewards of honest toll, do your duty
as a private citizen to your country,
but let politics alone 1t is a hard life,
a thaukless life. Still / know it has its
compensations. There are some goeen
spots, occasional oases, in the life of a
public man otherwise he could not
live. The conviction that the great
mass of the intelligent and patriotic
citizens of your country approve of
well-directed effort to serve them is
truly consoling The confidence on
the part of my fellow citizens think
possess. have had in the course
of my official life. which is not a short
one, my full share of ingratitude,
but the unkindest cut of all, the shaft
that has sunk the deepest into my
breast, has been the refusal of this ad
ministration to grant my request for an
office of small pecuniary consideration
to my only SON.
He then Strengthened himself up, aud,
with conscious dignity added
81 have not deserved such treatment,
| have served my country too long and
too assiduously TO receive such slight
from this administration, However
let us say no more about it the whole
thing is too contemplate TO claim from
me moments thought"

The Gilt Edge Butter Circle.

Mr.. F. h. Phoenix asks if it is
worth while for the. maker Of a very
choice brand of butter to try to get into
the gilt-edge circle" The best butter
maker is known by his fruits--gilt-edge
butter, sweet, aromatic, and perfect in
all its points, such as firmness, fragrance,
texture and flavor. When he comes
thus accredited he is at once admitted
into tho charmed circle and goes up just
as high as he can, and no higher than
bis merit entities him. His judges are
his customers, and they are memorable.
No pleading will avail to change the
serdict. Any faint appearing in his
plea (alld his product is ali there is OF
this) he is rejected remorselessly, al
though be may be a millionaire and
have COWS sired by a $40, 900 bull.
Butter sells for what it is, and this is
more than it appears at first sight. The
choicest kinds being precious, require a
proper setting. In a dirty pail or tub
they would be despised and rejected.
Nor could a poor kind pass of in the
gnise Of the neat, attractive package in
which the best butter comes to market.
There is IA, good butter now sold in
Welsh pals i'll open market for rs cents
as the fancy dairyman gets SO and 70
cents for. But those who pay this high
price do not want a ffty-pound pail at
II time. They want two pounds or
fyc-ponud packages or one-pouna cakes,
and to put up butter in this way is well
worth 10 cents a pound extra. So that
t. get into the gilt-edge butter business
one must mako ar acceptable articla,
which he must put up acceptathy, and
must i've so near his customers that lie

Formation OF Comets.

Professor Young, of Princeton, n. j..
(then of Dartmouth, N. H. was the
first, in 1872, to obtain evidence Of the
actual election Of matter from the suns
interior with velooities suficing to carry
such matter forever away from him; but
the evidence was decisive, and since
then kindred observations have been
frequently made What Young saw,
indeed, was apparently the ascent Of fla
ments Of hydrogen, at nm average rate Of
nearly two hundred miles per second;
hut it was easy to see that the irregular
itr ;aks OF hydrogen we're not themselves
the elected matter. If 9 thin gas like
hydrogen could rush through the region
Immediately above the suns visible sur
face at the rate of two hundred miles an
hour-which l reject as incredible-the
shape of such hydrogen missiles would
be such as to indicate very clearly the
resistance they we're e~ncountering. They
would be p~ear-shaped, the rounded part
Of the pear in front, like tire-baIls in
air. But these we're irregular
streaBs, like the luminous tracks Of
meteors, and such doubtless they were.
A flight of masses of considerable den.
sity must have been shot out on that
occasion, and on other occasions when
similar phenomena have been observed,
and rushing through the hydrogen in the
suns neighborhood, caused the gas to
glow along their track, just rs fire balls
in air leave behind them long luminous
