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.

U 1 to suca an cxitnc 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.” .Li 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. From tho Now Yom Traveler. THE DEAR DEPARTED. XT tLXXAXOEH ALLAS.

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.

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.” Watrstde djathenitfls.

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.

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.
