WEBSTER AS A DRiNkER.

The Great Orators Deep Potatio1s
Ecfore Two Famous Speeches.
Daniel Webster was invited to Rich
nond in the fifties. Ee accepted the in
vitation, came to Richmond and went
to the Exchange hotel. He was invited
by the state legislature to address
then, and the people of Richmond. and
a committee consisting Of James Lyons
of Richmond and Robert E. Scott of
Fauquier, two of the most eminent
lawyers in the state, were sent down ID
the hotel to escort him to the capitol
building. They found Mr.. Webster in
state of intoXication in such degree
that Mr.. Lyons said to Mr.. Scott: This
man can't make a speech. You must
take his place. Mr.. Scott replied. No
man can take the place Of Daniel Web
ster''
After delay, during which Mr.. Web
ster improved a little, he was asked if
he would go to the capitol. He replied,
eyes, With great difficulty Messrs.
Scott and Lyons supported and helped
him to the capitol. When they reached
the rotunda near the Washington stat.
ue, Mr.. Lyons said, "Mr. Webster, do
you think you can speak?' eff you will
give me drink Of brandy, yes"
A messenger was sent to a neighbor-
ing hotel and a bottle of brandy
brought. MI. Webster poured out sue

them off, Strengthened himself up.

the presence Of an audience of l,GUC
people, which consisted Of the intelcc
tuality and beauty of Richmond, male
and female, made his celebrated Oct0-
Der speech, one Of the greatest even Of
his life.
Edward Everett related that cel the
day Webster replied to Hayne of South
Carolina he walked with him to the
capitol; that he seemed so badly pre-
pared that ne doubted him and feared
that he was not equal to the occasion;
that just before he rose to speak he
drank goblet of brandy and then
made his great speech in reply to
Haync, which is an English classic.
Such was the effect of the beverage on

THE GREAT POETS.
Do Not Study Them For Knowledge
Read Them Far Culture.

1ONilG men and young Women actual
y go to college to take course in
Shakespeare or Chaucer or Dante OF
the Arthurian legends. The course bp-
comes a mere knowledge course My
own acquaintance with Milton was
through an exercise in grammar. We
parsed "ParldiSe Lost Much of the
current college study of Shakespeare
Is lutte better than parsing him. The
class falls upon the text like hens
upon 4 bone in winter No meaning
OF phrase escapes them; every line
is literally picked to pieces. But Of
the poet himself. Of that which makes
him what he is, how much do they
get? Very little, fear. They have
had intellectual exercise and not an
emotional experience. They have add
ed to their knowledge. but have not
taken a step in culture.
TO dig into the roots and origins of
the great poets is like digging into the
roots Of an oak or maple the better TO
increase your appreciation Of the beau
t. OF the tree. There stands the tree
in n! its summer glory. VIII you real
laid bare every root and rootlet? There
stand Homer, Dante, Chaucer and
Shakespeare. Read them, give yoer-
self TO them, and master them if You
are man enough.
The poets are not to be analyEeGi:
they are to be enjoyed; they are not to
be studied. but to be loved; they arc
not for knowledge, but. for culture
TO enhance cur appreciation Of life ard
our mastery over its elements All the
mere facts about q poets work are as
chaT as compared with the apprecia
tion of one fine line or fine sentence.
Why study a great poet at all after the
manner OF the dissecting room2 Why
not rather seek to make the aequaiilt
ance Of his living senl and to feel its
power2-Jo John Burroughs in Century. Il
