“It will l>e seen from this interesting
narrative that there was a time when
Joseph' Gales stood alone among Congres
sional reporters ; and to still further illus
trate his position* in that line we call to
mind what we once heard an intimate
friend of Mr. Webster say we owed to him *
and his wife with regard to the celebrated
reply to Mr. Hay no. Meeting the Massa
chusetts Senator as he was going to the
Capitol on that morning, Mr. Gales in
quired of him how long ho intended to
speak. About half an hour, was the re
ply. The editor's duties at that time were
pressing; but he ventured to take so much
time from them.
Webster, however, directly after met
Judge Story, who said that he thought tho
time had come to givo the country his
views on the Constitution. To this prop
osition he assented. Mr. Gales took up
his pencil, unaware of this new arrange
ment, and alike unconscious of the lapse of
time under the enchantment of the orator,
and consequently he wrote on until tho
close of the spc-ll. Some days jmssing
away, and tho “proof’ of the speech not
appearing, Mr. Webster called on the re
porter and made inquiry. “I have tho
notes,” said Mr. Gales, “and they are at
your service, as I shall never find time to
write them out.” This led to some re
monstrance and persuasion, but tlio over
tasked editor stood firm. Then Mrs. Gales
came to his rescue, by saying that she
thought she could decipher her husband’s
short-hand, as she had formerly occasion
ally done so. Mr. Gales doubted, seeing
that it was iiitcen years since she had tried
it. But she had heard the speech, aud as
the resistless sweep of its arguments and
the gorgeous and massive magnificence of
its imagery were yet vivid in her mind,
she persisted in undertaking the difficult
work. In duetime thereafter the fair man
uscript came to Mr. Webster’s hands for
final correction. Scarcely a word needed
to be changed; and soon a set of diamonds,
costing u thousand dollars, accompanied
the rich thanks of the eloquent statesman.
Thus was saved to literature the most
memorable oration oftlio American Senate.

The Quarter-Dollar Sin.

Adam and Harj.
A favorite temperance lecturer down
South, used to relate the following anec
dote to illustrate tho influence of.a bad ex
ample to the formation of habits, ruinous
in theirelfect.
Adam and Mary, his wife, who lived in
one of the Old States, were very good mem
bers of the ehnrcli, good sort of folks any
way, quite industrious and thriving in the
world, and Mary thought a good deal of a
glass of good toddy.
Whenever the minister called to make
Mary a visit, which was pretty often, she
contrived to have a" glass of toddy made
and the minister never refused to imbibe.
After a while Adam got to following tho
the home of bis childhood—the theater
of his youthful days. He trod again the
old Campus, walked through the old col
lege halls, stood upon tho cliff—the rocky
rostrum of college boys. He examined
the old paths, and inquired for the com
panions of his youth. Chaugus had passed
upon every scene. He wasasked to preach
at night, and to give some account of his
life in Africa. At the close of the services,
a very respectable and aged gentleman ap
proached, aud desired him to take a walk.
They passedon,and, when they had reach
ed a somewhat retired place, the geutleman
turned, and said:
“ Brother Li'ndley, if a man has ever done
wrong—has committed a sin—don’t you
think he should confess it ?”
“Why, yes,” said Mr. Lindlev, “if there
by he may glorify God; if it will make
amends to the party wronged, or do good
to the party who sinned.”
“ Well, that is just what I think. I am
in that predicament. I have long desired
and prayed for an opportunity to make a
confession and amendment to you. When
we wore boys together, titty yearn ago, we
were playing together. You dropped a
quarter Of a dollar, and I snatched it up,
and put it in my pocket. I claimed it as
my own. It was, perhaps, a little mean,
dirty trick; and it has worried and troubled
me ever since.”
“ Oil, it was a small matter, and I have
no recollection of it,” said 31 r. Liudley.
“ Ah, you may call it a small matter, but
it. has been a mighty burden for me to bear.
I have carried it now for filly years; I
would not carry it fifty* moso for all the
gold in California. Aud suppose I had to
carry it for fifty thousand years, or for all
eternity. No, sir, it is no small matter; it
lias been growing bigger and heavier, and
I want to get rid of it. I have no doubt
you have forgotten it, but I could never
forget it I have not, for .the last fifty
years, heard your name mentioned, or the
name of your father, or any of tho family,
but that quarter has come in connection.
Why, the very buttons on your coat—eve
rything that is round, represents a quarter.
The moon and stars are magnified and il-
Iumiuated quarters. You need not call it
a little sin; if it was, it has grown mighty
to plague me; and deservedly, too.”
With this th_- gentleman took from his
pocket-book a five-franc piece, worn bright
and smooth, and said :
I “ I wish you to take this; it belongs to
j you; it is rightfully yours, and will be no
burden to you. And if this is not enou
I will give you more.”

The Gold Dollars. :*ir '
As much has recently been said in pub
lic prints about the recoining of gold dol
lars into pieces of larger denominations, it
may be stated that orders have been issued
from the Treasury Department iii two
special eases only, and then a representa
tion that the smaller coins occasion much
inconvenience in the receipts and disburse
ments; for no sooner are they paid out
than they are again returned in business
transactions, there appearing to be a re
dundance of them among the commercial
classes. The Assistant Treasurer at New
York has, for the greater facility in count
ing, authorised to have about two millions
of them rejoined, aud tho Assistant Treas
urer at St. Louis, upward of one hundred
and fifty thousand, for similar reasons.—
This recoinage, however, applies to the
original or earlier issues, which it is known,
are smaller in circumference aud thicker
than the later and superior coin. Of tho
former, there are now nine millions, and of
the latter six millions iu circulation.

that he became adrutikra'd, drank up eve
rything he had and could get. Mary and
Adam became very poor in consequence of
hisfollowingtbeminister’sexamplesoclose-
lv; but the good minister continued his
visits, and poor Mary continued still to
give him the glass of toddy. One day ho
called in and told Mary he was going away
for a week—should return on Friday and
handing her a book containing the cate
chism, and told her to answer the questions.
Mary said “yes,” and laid away the book
carefully. But Mary, like a good many
other church members thought no more
of the book until the very Friday the good
minister was to return. What shall I do
said she, “the minister is to be here to-day,
and I haven’t looked in the book lie gave
me. IIow can I answer the questions?”
“ I ean tel! you,” said Adam, “give nw
a quarter and let me go over to Smith’s
and get some good rum, and you can an
swer him with a glass of toddy.”
Mary took the advflee, gave Adam a
quarter and a jug, and off lie started. Af
ter getting his jug tilled and on his way
back, Adam concluded to taste the rum.
One taste followed the other until lie stum
bled over a pile of rocks, and broke the jug
and lost all the rum. But Adam managed
to stagger home.
As soon as he got into tho house, Mary
inquired very anxiously for the jug and
the rum. “ Where is the jug and the rum,
•Adam ?”
Poor Adam managed to stammer out
“that he had stumbled over a pile of rock,
and broke the jug and spilt the rum.’’
Mary was in a fix—Adam drnnk—the
minister coming—the rum gone—and tho
questions Unlearned. But here comes the
minister! It won’t do for the man of God
to see Adam drunk, so she for want of
I tiy my best to pleas*,
But try, alas! in vain;
He'll never, never cease
To worry aud complain,
Say what I will, do what I mi.y,
The fact is aye imparted,
That all I'v.o said, and all I've made,
Recals the “dear departed!”
If I neglect a button.
She never did tho samo;
If overdone his mutton.
She ue’er was so to blame.
Sometimes he'll ask a friend to din*,
To me no wish imparted :
And then ho’ll “ push !” at every dish,
And praise the dear departed.
And if I want a dress,
As cv’ry woman will,
1 learn to my distress,
Whoso shoes I badly fill,
She never was extravagant,
To shop she never started :
She never spent on dress a cent;
The Eve-likc “ dear departed,”
And if for hall or play,
A fancy I should own,
N ine times in ten he'll say,
She lived for me alone.
-Ah me! if she wero living still,
I should be lighter hearted ;
I do declare, I'm forred to swear
Confound that “ dear departed. ”
Wide Awake and no 3Iistake.—Old
Lord Klphinsume was asleep at c-bur ih,
while the minister, a very prosy preacher,
was holding forth. Atlcngth the -par-ion
stopped and Cried, “Waukin, my. Lord
Alphistone.” A grunt, and then, •• I'm no
sleepin’, minister.” “ But vo are sleenin’.”
“,I wager ve dinna ken what I raid last.”
“Ye said, Waukin,my Lord Alphinstone.”
“Aye, aye, but I wager ye dinntt ken what
I said last before that.” “I wager ye din
na ken yourself.”
...“Who’s afraid?” said a young man
to himself, in order to screw his courage
to the sticking place. “ Why, you are,”
said the object of his affection, “or you
would have taken courage six mouthsago.”

A Christian Sort ofa Husband.
Some time ago the wife ofa wealthy farmer
in Ohio eloped with a iartn laborer. The
deserted husband obtained a diverge and
plodded on alone. After a while the sister
of the recent wife, living on an adjoining
farm, slowly drew his regard and eventually
they were married. The other day a knock
Was heard nt the door, and the farmer

Hot Springs uf Arkansas.
A correspondent of the Charleston Mer
cury thus describes the Hot Springs of Ar
kansas :
The Springs are situated in a narrow
valley, about three miles in length, winding
among the hills. There are two very pleas
ant hotels, with numerous cottages on each
side of tho valley. The springs are on the
eastern slope of the hills, at the foot of
which runs a small stream or rotiky branch.
There are over a dozen streams of different
degrees of heat; the two largest are hot
enough to boil eggs or scald a hog. The
character of tho rqeks on the side of Ihe
mountains are evidently volcanic, and large
dark broken masses have every appearance
of lava. The water is conducted from tlio
springs to reservoirs on tho tops of the
bath-house9, so arranged that you may have
thedouehee, shower, plunge or vapor bath,
just as you please. Tho water is quite
soft, and as clear and transparent as crys
tal. When you first bathe in it, it seems
impossible to Lear the heat, but you grad
ually get accustomed to it, and find it very
delightful. It is remarkably pleasant to
drink, and when taken hot is equal to the
best Chou-ehong. What is singular, even
when tepid it has no nauseating effect.—
With a little salt and pepper, it makes a
very good consume,or thin chicken broth!
A True Gentleman.
Some writer, who has the proper appre
ciation of a true gentleman, has produced
the following truthful remarks:

Love of Xoncj.
We have very littlo respect for that man,
old or young, whose aspirations soar no
higherthanthopossession ofa little money.
Such a person is a perfect stranger to those
kindlier feelings that God intended should
exist among his creatures: in his estima
tion, the brother!}- love spoken of in tlio
Bible is just so much nonsense. He knows
nothing of the social relations of life, his
idea being that a man’s friendship should
be estimated according to the number of
dollars that ean be drawn from him. If he
has any golden dreams, they are of golden
dollars*; he only looks upon the brightness
of tho sun to see in it the brightness of
silver: he looks upon the starry heavens
and imagines hoiv much more beaultfol it
would be if each star were a golden dol
lar, bat even here, he feels a little pang,
because he cannot, with the stamp of the
foot, detach and bring them withiu his
reach. He.looks upon all men with suspi
cion, and even teaches his children never
to pay -out as much as ten cents without
taking a bill and receipt. O! what a life;
wi»at a life must such a man lead ? What
remorse must fire hislnmbst soul when he
chinks how little he iias done tin* the ame-

How a German Worn in Gat Along.
I asked a pleasant looking -German wo
man in market one cold morning, if it was
not hare! work to come every morning and
mind her stall.}
“Oh yes,” was her reply, ”ti«h pretty
cold, but I must do something. I did uot
use -o tend mnrkfet.”
I inquired how it hnppened that her
circumstances luid changed. In her bro
ken English she told me the following
story—
“Me and my husband came from Ger
many, and on the sea lie die, and when me
got to St Louis, me have no monish, and
four or five children ; so I wash, I iron, I do
everything I can do, and I only get bread
—den I getssick—washin’ and ironin too
hard for me. < So I said, I will go in the
country and work garden, and I sells my
ironings and everything, and works some
more and gets twenty dollars, and I rents
of German man one acre of ground and I
spade him and dig him and work him nil
myself—my boy only seven years old
then—and I raise lettuce and beets, and
onions, and corn, and everything, and I
make monish.. Then in two year I rent
two acres, and then my boys and girls
help some, and I makes lots of monish.—
Thou in four years I buy the land, and
theu I builds ine a koot house, and two
year ago I gets me a husband.’’
“IIow do you get on nowV’ I asked.
“Oh, very well,’’she answered—and with
a merry twinkle in her eye site added,
“He is the most convenient tliingabout the
house, but my new cooking stove. lie
spade my ground and help to get ready for
market ami nurse my baby while I comes,
fori know better as he how to sell. I
been knoin’ so long.’’
...Cunning is only the mimic of discre
tion, and may pass upon weak men just as
pertness is often mistaken for wit, and

Hot, but good.—A good deacon, recent
ly, addressed a Sabbath school, made a
point by the following anecdote:
‘‘"Children,” continued the deacon “you
all know that I went to tho Legislature
last year. Well, the first day I got to Au
gusta J took dinner at the tavern; right
beside mo, at the table, sat a member from
one of the back towns, tbat had never ta
ken dinner at a tavern afore, in his life.
Before his plate was a dish of peppers; and
he kept looking aud looking at them; and
finally, as the waiters were mighty slow
bringing on things, ho up with bis fork
and iu less than no time souzed one in his
mouth. As he.brought his grinders down
upon it, tho tears came Into his eyes, and
he seemed hardly to know what to do.—
AtJast, spitting the pepper into his hands,
he laid it down by his plate—and in a voice
that set the whole table in a roar, exclaim
ed, “ Jis’t lie thar and cool.”
..“How,” said 3Ir. M. to Mr. Y'., “do
you accomplish so much in so short a time ?
"Have you any particular plan ?” “ I have.
When I have anything to do, I go and do
it.”
...If tho mind be properly directed, the
hand will work no evil.
...Beware of sloth in secret duties, and
of pride in public duties; of envy in adver
sity, and of self-consequence in prosperity;
of self-confidence in laboring for God, and
of self-complacence when your labor is
crowned with a blessing.

Ingratitude.—An ungrateful man is
detested by all. Every one feels hurt by
his conduct, because it operates to throw
a damp upon generosity, and is regarded
as the common injurerof all those who
stand in need of assistance.—Cicero.
...The talk of women is generally about

A Good Reason for Laughing.—A
spendthrift was onee lying awake in hod,
when hesaw a man enter his room cautious
ly, and attempt to pick the lock ofbis wri-
.ting-desk. The rogue wus not a little dis-
'oonccrtcd at hearing a loud laugh from the
occupant o,f the apartment, whom he sup
posed asleep. “Why laugh ?” asked the
thief. ‘T am laughiug, my good fellow,”
said the spendthrift, “to think what pains
you are taking, and what risk you rnn, in
hope of finding money by night in a desk,
where the lawful o>vner can never find any
by day.” The thief vanished at once.
