A writer in the Presbyterian Sen
tinel of Tennessee, communicates the
following reminiscence of this distin
guished preacher:
x While :i student in theology he was
employed in teaching at Hanover-
Court House, Va. At that time Dr.
Asltbel Green was pastor of the
church, and Dr. A. Alexander a mem
ber of the Presbytery. Young Wud-
del had been licensed, and “preached
for some time within the bounds of
the Presbytery. He soon removed
to South Carolina, and commenced
his most useful life of teaching, at the
same time preaching as he had op
portunity. When he had been some
four or five years so employed, he re
ceived an earnest invitation from Dr.
Green, to come and assist at a sacri-
mcutal meeting at Hanover Court
House, and was informed that Dr.

her side, unconscious of the presence
of death—but yet he was awed and
terrified by the change that had taken
place in her countenance. Charlie,
was now indeed an orphan—his fath
er had been taken to Abraham’s bo
som, ere he could lisp that honored
name, and now his mother had gone
to meet her husband. He gazed va
cantly around at the neighbors who
were standing about the bed, but each
face looked coldly upon lmn—be was
poor, nnd friendless—but the dying
words of his mother cheered him, and
he resolved to ‘‘trust in God.” Night
came, but it brought no rest to the
orphan, another day came and went,
and still another, and Charlie, went
out in the busy world to battle with
its strife, and stem its waves.
Heaccepled this invitation, am'l jis
they had heaid him when a young
licentiate, lie felt a very natural de
sire that they might see that he had
made improvement as a preacher.—
He judged that as he was a young
man they would expect him to preach
after the snciiment to the young,
which he hoped would be useful to
that interesting class, and creditable
lo himself, showing that he had made
commend hie improvement. This
sermon when carefully prepared, he
put in his coat pocket, but in chang
ing his coat he forgot to transfer it
to his new coat, and travelled one en

he had left his sermon behind. He

Rather Catting.
Some few years before Daniel Web
ster’s death, the same raft of scurril
ous editors who now occasionally dis
grace themselves by maligning his
memory, because they could not bend
him to their sectional and narrow
purposes, were in the habit of per
sonally attacking him in tlieir columns,
in connection with his private affairs,
rnd especially made a point of tiis
alleged non-payments of his debts.—
After a good deal of provocation of
this kind, Mr. Webstei yielded in one
instance, to the very natural impulse
of administering a deserved though
mortifying rebuke to his. Address
ing him a letter, among other things
Mr. Webster remarked, as follows:
“It is true that I have uot always
paid my debts punctually, and that I
owe money. One cause of this is,
that I have not pressed those who
owe n.e for payment. As an in
stance of this, I enclose your father's
note, made to me thirty years ayo, for
money lent him to educate his hoys.”
...“That’s very singular, sir,” said
a young lady to a gentleman, who
had just kissed her. “O. well, my
dear Miss, I will -soon make it plu
ral.”

Eight Children at» Birth.
Johnson, Tumbull County, O., 1
August 4,1859. j
On the 2d of August, Mrs. Timo
thy Bradley gave birth to eight chil
dren—three boys nnd five girls.—
They are nil living, nnd are healthy,
but quite small. Mr. B.’s family is
increasing fast. He was married six
venrs ago to Eunice Mowery, who
weighed two hundred and seventy-
three pounds on the day of their mar
riage. She has given birth to two
pair of twins, and now eight more,
making twelve children in six venrs.
It seems strange, but nevertheless is
true. Mrs. B. was a twin of three,
her mother and father both being
twins, and her grandmother the mo
ther of five pair of twins. Mrs. B.
has named her boys after noted nnd
pit, and took his own seat with the
congregation below. Young Waddel
approached Dr. A., and in the most
earnest manner besought him to ex
cuse him. No reply was given, nnd
both sat in silence for a few minutes,
when Dr. A. pushed the hymn-book
towards him, and said, “It is time to
begin, notice has been publicly given
that you will preach.’’ Thus com
pelled lo conduct the service young
Waddel selected a psalm and read it,
but uot a thought it contained reach
ed, his mind, so intensely was he oc
cupied in trying to recall a text on
which he might preach. The singing
was ended, but he had no text lie.
rose to pray, but lie had no feelintr
of devotion, he had not a thought of
God. He was trying to find a text.
In a formal, mechanical manner the
prayer proceeded. Thus listlessly
and without distinct thought, he quo
ted the passage “Behold the Lamb
of God.” Instantly he was over
whelmed with shame and confusion
that he should- be thinking so much
about his reputation, and so little of
the unsearchable glories and grace
of tho Lamb of God. He cared
not what men might think of Moses
Waddel, if they would hut look to
the Lamb of God, think well of
Him. He forgot himself. Tlie rest
of his prayer was with unction and
power, and he preached the Lamb of
God so that the whole audience was
melted and that sermon resulted in
the conversion ot not less than fifty
immortal souls. c. w.
