A member of Congress came out to the hay-field to see Captain Web ster (he was called Captain from his haying commanded a company in the Revolutionary War), and, when the member had left, tho old man called the boy to him, and they sat down on a hay-cock together uuder an elm tree. “My son,” began this strong mindod,proud but uneducated man, “my son, that is a worthy man; ho is a member of Congress; hef.goes to Philadelphia, and gots six dollars a lay, while I toil here. It, is because ho had an education, which I never had. If 1 had had his early educa tion, 1 should have been in Philadel phia in his place. I came near it, as it was. But I missed it, and now I must work here.” Th i tender-hearted boy was 'much effected at those words, and hi g in to cry. “My dear father,” be exclaimed, “you shall not work Brother and 1 will work "for you, and wear our bauds out, and you shall rest,” "My child,” said,the father, “it is of no importance to me—I now live but for my children; I could not give your elder brother tho advan- somethiug for you Exert yourself —•improve your opportunities-learn learn—and, when I nm gone, yon will not need to go through the hardships which I have undergone, and which have made me an old man before my time.” The ten year-old little Daniel threw himself ou his father’s breast, and as ho sobbed aloud, he register ed a vow deep iu his heart that ho would never idle away a moment that could be devoted to study. In 1796, when Daniel was fourteen years old, his father, who had been made county judge, at a salary of four hundred dollars a year, was able to send him to tho famous acad emy at Exeter, N. H. When he Imd been at school a few months and was at home for the vacation, his fatberjtokl hiinjthnt he meant to send him to college. The very idea,” says Mr. Web ster, “thrilled my wliole frame. I was quite overcome, and my bead grew dizzy. The thing appeared to my so high, and tho expense and saorilico it was to cost my father so great, I could only press his hand and shed tears.” ‘i live but for my children,” said the generous old man, “and I will do all I can for you, if you will do all you can for yourself.” Dauiol was sent to Dartmouth College before he was properly ( re paved for admission. But his wonderful talents and his studious ness ouablod him soon to get abreast with all his classes, and to graduate with distinction, His father iivod to reap the inward of his paternal de votion by' seeing the unfolding of his son’s unequaled talents. Daniel Webstor’s reverence for his father, and his appreciation of the good old ma^s affection and self sacrifice, were conspicuous traits of bis char acter. In the height of his fame, his 4>s quivered and his voice trembled vhenever he spoke of him; and once every year he took his own children to the log cabin ill which his father bad lived, and to the humble grave in which his remains reposed. Such an emiuout instance of paternal devotion and of filial ap preciation, when rightly considered, elevates one’s conceptions of human nature, and strengthens our faith iu the capabilities of man.—Neio York Ledger. occurod Dec. 14, 1799. lie was 68 years of ago.

' byi Young: Men Tliat Are Plenty. “It is very difficult,” said a business man, “to make people understand that one can’t always employ young men starting in life just to please our friends wdio recommend them to us. It’s bad business policy to employ more men than oi)e needs. In these days of closo competition, uo business man can afford to spend money unwisely. A certain volume of business justifies and demands u certain expenditure in salaries to carry oti that business. It isn't fair to us to ask us to increase our salary list when there is no excuse for so doing. It isn't fair to our trusted and efficient employees to ask us to employ new men and yet maintain our salary list. Wo can do this only in two ways. Olio is to pare off enough from the salaries of the old men to provide salaries for t'aenew men. Another is to discharge old men to make room for the new. You see that both plans are out of tho question, other things being equal. People who send promiscuous letters of recommendation often cause us a great deal of embarrassment. Ono lilies to please a friend, and yet ono cannot always, in justice to himself or others, do this. And liavo you ever noticed how many of these .letters of introduc tion describe tho bearers of them as bril liant young men, who will prove of value to thoso who employ them? Hard ly one mail in a thousand of those de scribed in this way fuliills tho promises made for him. Do those who write such letters ever consider that if u big busi ness house employed all the men who brought letters of recommendation to the firm it would be overwhelmed with employees within a year and driven into bankruptcy in two years by its stupen dous salary list?—New York Tribune. I A M0QU1 SNAKE DANCE. I INDIANS DANCING WITH RATTLERS ' IN THEIR MOUTHS. A llorrll.lv Spoctiiclo Tlmt Wliltr Slrn An- Itiirolj- Allowed to Wltuem—OrjBea W'l.loli Kxcltn thu Momlior* or tl.o Mo gul Nut Iren In a State of Froniy. The snake dances of the Moqui Indi ans have been frequently written about, but usually simply on hearsay evidence. It is seldom that any while man is al lowed to ho present at these ceremonies. A scout attached to tho forco at Fort Wingate, N. M., however, was so fortu nate as to be in one of the Indian vil lages, and to witness the preliminary dunce. What ho saw Is described in this letter sent from tho fort: The participants were composed of two bodies of men, thirty-six of whom danced with tho snakes, and a smaller number wtio formed a chorus of singing men. These lattor were the first to conio upon the scene, and wero dressed in bright colored embroidered kilts, •ashes, anklets and beautifully burned yellow I'oxhkiiis Imaging down behind the body. They bore small rattles in onfrhand, while In the other was held a stick, to which was fastened a couple of turkey feathers- This stick, they claim, carries the necessary protection of one's life and lets thu snake's tutelary god know that none of his progeny will bo injured or carried to remote lands. These men made four or five circuits of the small plaza and then took up a position to the west side of it. In the center of the plaza was a cottonwood •lied. After they had arranged them selves properly, in a state of extraordi nary exultation, the snake men chine marching in to bound across tho mesa with a single stride. These dancing men, like their prede cessors, made four circuits around a large rock which stands in tho center of the place. They then fuced tho chorus and a song was gone through with. Af ter this ceremony tho snake men were divided iuto groups of three, and one from each three went into the cotton-, wood shed and extracted a snake from ono of llio logs, and after putting it into Ihh month and firmly fixing it there with his teeth, ho started on his round. A DISGUSTING 6CKNH. His companion, with his arm around his deck, kept tho tail of the Biialco in position with his left baud, while with his right, in which lie carried a stick with two long feathers attached, lie kept tho serpent from becoming entangled in tho hair of tile dancer. The snake, after ui'h'i&Jl 1 around llio circle, was carried it for tho rest of the dunce. At times the serpents would try to make their escape and would make a dash for liberty through tho crowds which surrounded tho dancers, and the spectators would scatter in all directions until the snakes were recaptured by the dancers and curried back into thu circle anil moro securely held. The visits to tho shed were continued until at least 150 snakes had boon brought from the inclosure, and all ap peared to he in excellent condition, judg ing from tho manner in which they re sisted capture after they had been dropped from tho mouth. Two or three instances were noticed of large bull snakes being held by the neck and twin ing their bodies around the legs ui the dancers. In ono instance tho snake had so entwined himself around tho per former that Ire was unable to nTbve for fpur of falling. This predicament caused u great outburst of laughter, but it looked anything but funny to the dancer. Those who danced with the snakeB not unfrequently had three or four iu tho mouth at tho same time, which, of JOHN CHAPMAN, OF RAMAPO.

Ono of th >m was a thin man with a long linen duster and a tall white hat. Although there wore many vacant seats, this pas senger, after a deliberate inspection of the interior, went to tho far corner of tho cabin and sat down in a seat next to a fat man with a big valise. "John Chapman; of Rninapo!" ex claimed tho spare man. "How aro you tonight?" Tho fat mail stared a moment i at tho speaker and thou said: “I am not John Chapman,of Haniapo. but I am quite well tonight." “Not John Chapman, of Rninapo?" salil the thin man, apparently much stir- j prised. "Why, are you sure?" "Well, I guess 1 ought to know who 1 1 ami"exclaimed the fat mail. "Certainly, sir, certainly; to bosurel” replied tho thin mau. "Hut, mercy I how! could 1 be so inuoli mistaken?

"Mistakes like that frequently hap pen,” said the fat man. "Yes. I know," said tho thin man. “It is not the mistake I deplore so much. Tho thought of tho mortification I would have suffered if 1 had gone on and done what 1 had on my mind, and then found that you Wero not John Chapman, of Ratnapo, is what annoys me. Mercy I" Tho lilt man bowed. - "Yes, Indeed," continued the thin man. “1 don't know what made me pause on this occasion, for 1 always go right up to John and without ceremony say, ‘Loan me a dollar till tomorrow.' Now, if 1 had done that tonight, and, after you imd loaned me the dollar, 1 had dis covered that you wero not John Chap man, of Rninapo, jiiKt see how deadly my mortification would have been. Mercy! It makes me cold to think of ill" Tho fat man assured him, with a smile, that there would have been no occasion whatever for mortification on that score. "Thanks! thunks!" oxcluimed the thin man. "You are very kind. Hut I don’t know as I ought to necept it oven until tomorrow, if you were only .loliu Chap man, of Rainupo, nowl You are exceed ingly liko him in looks and manner!'

A state* ment of the Company’s uil'uiis June 4th, just two months after its organ ization, during the almost a pauio in ibe financial world, would show the following: pletely hidden behind a musk of twist ing and squirming snakes was enough to inuUo the stoutest hearted man shud der with disgust, yet tho other members of tho tribe greeted these manifestations with applause. SNAKES CHEWED IN HALVES. The applause of tho spectators urged the dancers to greater feats, and as the dance proceeded tho performance became most horrible to behold. Some of the dancers would tuko two large rattlers iu the mouth at the same time, and as they slowly swung around tho circle would chew on tho livihg snakes until, in some instances, the serpents would fall to the ground completely bitten in two. One dancer, who appeared to bo a leader, at one time had six serpents in his mouth, and the swinging ends of the reptiles made a gorgon appearance of his head as hq whirled around tho outer edge of the circle. This ceremony lasted two hours, and when the dunce was over the partici pants were thoroughly exhausted. While during the dance they Imd been upheld by the ecstatic coudjjjon, tho reaction was terrible, and while there was uo permanent injury io the dancers, it took several days for them to recuperate. This time was spent in sleeping and drinking u weak sort of broth made from tho dead snakes which had per ished in the ceremony. During t.liis dance there is a peculiar luster of the body and eyes which would indicate that tlic pe-rfori.i rs had been medicated and prepared fur the ordeal through which they were about to puss It was supposed by some that the rat tlesnakes had been rendered harmless by the extraction of their fangs, but to show that such was not the case a do] was brought into the circle and was hit- ten by a snake.
