AnecdOte OF Webster.

A writer in the Boston IFdnscript
contributes this anecdote of Web.
ster: Just before he died, and after
his recovery was despaired of, one
or his physicians approached his
bedside and asked how he found him
self. &C. feel like the jackdaw in the
church steeple," was the strange re-
ply.
The physician withdrew sadly
from the bedside to another part of
the room, where some members of
the family were standing together,
and, shaking his head, confessed his
apprehenSions that the brain Of the
! dying statesman was affected-that
the stately oak was perishing at the
top.
He could see no method in the an
swer which his question had re.
ceived. One of the ladies present
who knew Mr.. Webster better did
not believe his mind was wandering,
and quietly stepping 10 the bedside,
asked him what he meant by saying
he felt like the jackdaw in the church
steeple.
Why, Cowper; don't you re-
member was the reply.
She did remember CoWper's de-
lightful translation of Vincent
Bourne's little poem entitled "The
Jackdaw."
send you copy Of the verses,
which some of your readers NAV
have forgotten, or never read, and
that they may perceive the perfect
fitness and point of the reply:
THE JACKDAw.
There is bird who, by his coat,
And by the hoarseness of his note,
Might be supposed a crow;
"A great frequenter of the church,
Where, oishop-like, he finds a perch
And dormitory, too.
Above the steeple shines a plate
That turns and turns, to indicate
From what point blows the weather.
Look up-your brains begin to SWIM:
'Tis in the clouds-that pleases him,
lie chooses it the rather.
Fond of the speculative height,
Thither he wings his airy flight,
And thence securely sees
The hustle and the raree show
That occupy mankind below,
Secure and at his ease.
You think, no doubt, he sits and muses.
On future broken bones and bruises,
If he should chance to fall.
No: not single thought like that
Employs his philosophic pate,
Or troubles 1t at all.
He sees that this great roundabout,
The world, with all it's motley rout,
Church, army, physic. law,
Its custom and its businesses,
Is no concern at all of his,
And says-what says he? "Caw !"
Thrice happy bird 1, too. have seen
Much of the vanities of men;
And, sick Of having seen 'em,
Would cheerfully these limbs resign
For such pair of wings as thine,
And such a head between 'em.

HE Cor A MOVE ON.--A Confed-
crate soldier, after the battle of An
tietam, and when his regiment was
on the retreat, threw his musket on
the ground, seated himself by the
roadside, and exclaimed with much
vehemence:
"pll be dashed if l walk another
step! I'm broke down! i can't
do it !" And he sat there the picture
of despair.
"Git up, man ?" exclaimed the
Captain; "dOn't you know the Yam.
KEGS are following us? They will
get you sure"
Cant do it," he replied, "Im
done for. I'll not walk another
step"
The Confederates passed along
over the crest of hill, and lost
sight of their poor, detected com
rade.
In a moment there was a fresh
rattle of musketry, and renewed
crash Of shells. Suddenly he ap
peared on the crest of the hill NOV
ing along like a hurricane, and fol
lowed by a cloud of dust. AS hi
dashed past his Captain that Officer
yelled:

TOMORROW.
BY AMELIA II. BREWSTER,

Tomorrow, we tell the children,
AS we soothe their grlefs and pain.
Tomorrow" will bring the sunshine
And all will be happy again.
So they sob themselves to slumber,
And waken with glad delight,
With never thought of the trouble
That had crushed their hearts at night
Tomorrow, ," we sadly whisper,
But no childish grief is ours,
And we keep our weary vigils,
And life s storm around us lowers.
For we know as we sigh 4" tomorrow, .
And wait for its coming light,
Our hearts are sick with trouble
We cannot lose in the night,
That will ever rise to meet us
With the dawn Of each new dav,
And will gather thick about us
While we tread this earthly way.
But an evening soon is coming
That will bring a restful sleep
y "tO-morrow" in whose waking
We shall "all'' forget to weep.
Like the ChiIGren-we shall waken
Happy-in that dawning light
All our woe lost in the darkness
Ot our last, sad earthly night.
So we still repeat :" Tomorrow"
When all worldly hopes but cheat
A joyous, glad to morrow,
But Only-after we sleep.

THE LEGEND OF EVIL.
RUDYARD KIPLING,

hSDtHhD MILLING.
ms is the sorrowful story
loid When the twilight fails,
ana the monkeys walk together
Holding each others tails:
Our fathers lived in the forest
FOOLISH people were they
Ihey went down to the cortland
10 teach the farmers to play.
Our fathers frisked in the milIet
our fathers skipped in the wheat.
onr FATHERS hung in the branches
our Fathers danced in the street.
Then came the terrible farmers.
Nothing of play they knew,
ohly they caught our fathers
And set them to labor, too,
Set them to work in the cortland
Wlth ploughs and sickles and fails
Iut them in mud-walled prisons.
And-cut off their beautiful tails +,
Now. we can watch our fathers.
Sullen and bowed and old.
Shopping over the millet,
Sharing the silly mould:
Driving foolish furrow,
Mending muddy yoke,
Sleeping in mud-walIed prisons.
Sleeping their food in smoke.
We may not speak to our fathers,
For if the farmers knew,
They would come up to the forest
And set us to labor, too"
This is the horrible story
Told as the twilight fails,
And the monkeys walk together,
Holding each others tails.

NUMBER "a.

STUB ENDS OF THOUGHT.--A
woman talks at her best when she
doesn't know what she is talking
about.
Domestic felicity is of as many
types as religion is.
We unconsciously judge all men
by ourselves.
While a man is thinking how a
thing ought to be done, woman
will do it.
Cupid always goes about with his
bow and arrows loaded.
A wise man discovers by patient
study what fool stumbles upon.
Women admire handsome men.
and love homely ones.
No woman should ever worry
over the loss of man who hadn't
the courage to ask for her.

IHE BABY'S THROBBING HEAD,
Ihere was commotiOn in a house
hold the other day. The brand-new
baby, the only iDfantile specimen in
the Nuwed home, was in the arms
of its doting mother, who was look
ing tor some new portion of it's pink
anatomy to kiss and admire. Sud-
denly there was scream, followed
by hysterial half an hour, while
the servants were sent in breat HESS
search for the family doctor. When
the grave old physician entered the
room, the poor woman was walking
to and fro like one distracted, paus-
ing now and then to grasp her crow
ing child to her, then replacing it in
its cradle to resume her nervous
tread, weeping and wringing her
hands.
"Oh, doctor! My poor baby !
Save him if you can! But 1 know
you can't. Oh, my poor child!"
For five minutes or more this con-
tinued, in spite of the physician s
efforts &c learn what was the matter.
He examined the child, saw nothing
that apparently allied it, and at last,
with patience almost gone, insisted
on an explanation. Composing her
self little, the frightened mother
fiually said:
Look at its poor little head, doc
tor. There, right on top. See that
soft spot, how it is beating. II
hasn't stopped for more than an
hour. know something dreadful
is the matter, but you mustn't keep
it from me. Tell me the worst at
once"
To the undying honor of that doc
tor, he did not laugh. All he said
was:
My dear little woman, pray that
that beating will continue. Should
1t ever stop, your baby will be
dead -

Travellers Tales.

Locomotives often become sulky
or tired. 1t frequently happens that
an engine will lose time regularly,
and yet a thorough examination fails
to disclose anything wrong with it.
When this is the case another engine
is taken from the roundhouse and
the stubborn machine allowed to
rest for few days, when, without
any repairing whatever, it will run
as well as it did when new. An en-
gine in this condition is called
"sulky" or "tired," these two
words being universally used by
railroad men. No satisfactory ex-
plation has ever been given for this
condition, but it is we'll known to
engineers.

A GIRLS MARRIAGEABLE AGE.
The age of marriage should be de-
termlned by the understanding Of
both principals as to the nature of
their bond, writes Mrs Burton Har-
rlson in somo very wise words un-
der the title of "Heigh Ho! for a
Husband" in the January LADIES'
Home Journal. 1t must always
seem to an older person who has
had experience in observation of ca
reers "made or marred" by marriage
that the mistake is apt to be in i'm
petuous judgment, rather than i'm
maturity or the reverse. One has
seen quite as many failures resulting
from the mating of gray hair with
middle age as from the nuptials of
eighteen with two-and-twenty. AS
general thing, indeed, young hearts
seem to grow more together, to ac-
cept the inevitables of life more
frankly, to he more lenient with Of
Tending for loves sake than do
their elders. Old lovers who have
spent their lives together in their
journey through life have a fund of
tenderness in recollection of their
common youth that is a fountain
sealed at which they alone can re-
fresh themselves. Then in youth
hard knocks are borne 80 easily to-
geher; laughter is so apt to come
after tears; hopes shared are sus-
tanning even in Disappointment
These thoughts make an early mar
riage sacred from the common gibes
about crushing blindfold into a
pitt" "tying a milestone around
ones neck" marrying in haste to
repent at LEISURE" etc.
But materialism is the governing
power of our age and society,"
Where certain indispensables are
now lacking to a home discomfort
and heartburning are as often seen
lurking near.
