Mr. A’ ebs.er was fond of ancedo es; he used to
r ia.e such ones as the following, as no one but himself
could:
A few years since, but before the Great Northern
Radio'd ian through bis farm, Mr. Webster was on bis
way to the old home- end ; he took the stage at Uou-
Conl, N. 11., a.;d h.ai for h:s comptanion a verv old man.
Atter some conversation, he ascertained that the old
man was from the neigiiboring town of Salisbury, and
sl him if lie ever knew Uapt. Webster.
“Surely I did,” said the old man; “and the Captain
AAa- a brave and gotsl mail, sir; and nobly did he tight
for l *s, wall Gen. Stark, at Bennington.”
“ IbJ be leave any children?” inquired Mr. W.
“Oh. yes; there was Kzokiel, and 1 think Daniel.”
“ And aa bat become of llieui?” asked Mr. \V.
“ by, Rzekiel an*l he was a lauverful man, sir; I
have heard him (dead in Uourt, ollen. Yes sir, he was
a pi werful man, and fell dead w hile pleading in Con
cord.”
“ M ell, said Mr. \\ ebster, “ imd what became of
Daniel.’’
“ Daniel, —Daniel,” repeated the old gentleman
thoughtfully; “ why, Daniel, I /*/.< r-, is a lawyer about
Boston, somewhere.”
Franklin and the llarber.
Dx Dr. Franklin’s arrival at Haris, as Plenipotentiary
Irout the United Stale*, during the Revolution, the
King expre-'-ed a wish to see him immediately. As
there A\ a.- wio going to the Court of France, in those
days, Avithout |teru*iss;on of the wigtnaker, a wigmaker
of course was scut for.
In a few miuu'es a richly dressed Monsieur, with hi*
arms fold -1 in a prodigious mulf of furs, and a long
sword by his side, made his appearance. It was the
King's wigmaker,with a servant in livery,along sword
by his sale too, and a load of street seemed bandboxes,
full of “de Avig,’’ a- he said, “de superb wig for de
great Doctor Franklin.”
One of the w igs wtis tried on—a world too stirill!
Band-box af.er Iwnd-box was tried, but with small suc
! cess.
1 he aa igiiiaker tell into a mos. violent rage, to the cr
tren.e mortification of Dr. FYiitiklin, that a gentleman
so btsh-ck.s! with silks aud (.rerfu nes, should, notwith
standing, Ik* such a child.
Presently, however, as in all the transport* of a great
discoverer, the wigmaker cried out that he knew where
the fait lay—not in Ins wig as 100 small! “O no,” said
he, “my wig no too small, but the Doctor’s head too
big -great deal too big, by gar! ”
Franklin, smiling, replied, that the fault eottld hardly
lie there; for that lus head was made by God Almighty
himself, who was not subject to err.
I {oil this the wigtnaker took in a little; but still he
contended (hat there* must he something she matter Avith
Doctor Franklin’s he.nl. It was at any mte, out of fash
ion. Ik* begge.l Dr. F. wonldplea.se for remember, dat
his head had not de honeer ;<> be made in I’aree. No,
by gat ! tor il it had been made in Puree, it no bin more
dan half such a head. None of ihe French Nobles, he
swore, had a head anything like hk Nor de great
Duke 1) Orleans, ttor de grand Monarch himself, hud
such a head as Doctor Franklin. And he did not see,
he said, what business any body had Avid a head more
big dan de head of the grand monarque.
Pleased to see the poor wigmaker recover his good
humor. Doctor Franklin could not find it in his heart to
put a check to his childish rant, but related one of his
tine anecdotes, Avh:ch struck Hie wigtnaker with such an
idea of 11 is wir, tin: as he retired, lvhi.Ji he did bowing
most profoundly, he slit tigged his shoulders, and, with
a most significant arch look, said;
“Ah, Doctor Franklin! Doctor Franklin! -f no won
der your head too log for my AA ig. Ba gar, I fluid vour
iiead 100 big for ail de French nation.*’

Fightev'ii hundred and fifty-two will mark an epoch
in the history ot Twigg.- co., for some demon ilire
seems bnodiug o’er her borders, dooming her best
loved citizens to extinction. One after another has sin*
mourned and wept the loss of her noblest sons, until
the fountains of her tears are dry, and now that her
choicest spirit has fallen, as a doting mother, she sits
in tearless agony, and ponders o’er her desolation.
lea, alas! he is gone! On Sa mdav forenoon, Nov.
-“'h, at the residence of his unde, Benj. Bryan, in
Ilou-’on co., JOSI-.PH M. Hlf l AN, son ot ltlaeksliear
and Temperance Bryan, deceased, in the 25th year of
hi* age, “passed into the dreamless sleep that lulls the
dead. There are some, and this is one, to whom eu
fig cannot soar, whom the brightest conuscatioas of
mind cannot panegyrize, and whom the most brilliant
strokes of poetic fancy cannot paint, and, indeed, “Truth
needs no ‘lowers of speech.” To say that “Joe Bryan
was a generous, honorable man,” i> : too commonplace.
I When his spirit took its flight, the soul of honor and
j chivalry flea—when death drew its dark veil over his
vision, it closed an eve that for misiortune ever had a
tear; when the grave's cold apathy congealed his arm,
it unnerved a bund that into the urn of poverty always
(nit largely of charity. He lived without a toe,’ he died
at (K-ace with all mankind. For many months he lin
gered under the insidious attacks of a disease, ever flat
tering, but inevitable in is work of destruction.
And occasionally, as the tight of life burnt almost to
the si'<*ki*t, would flicker up, casting a brighter, but a
deceitful glare, his friends were inspired with the hope
i that it would entirely relume, but it only grew the
paier. dimmed, and, ai last, glimmering for a moment,
it went out, and forever!
“All that’s bright must fade,
The brightest Mill the fleetest.”

To wondering eyes and wing away.”
to land beyond our vision, in eternal realms, sublime
and beautiful. It was the good ibruiuo of the writer to
! enjoy his friendship, and ‘Joe Bryan’s was no summer
; friendship.’ It was a golden chain linked to the inmost
depth* of his heara. He had a smile for your jov, lie
w ept for your woe. He was Jo 0 Bryan to the last; he
conversing of his friends, and sending some kind
. word as a memorial to each. Oh, how sh ill the asso
ciations of his last night on earth be described? There
on his couch, with paie cheek, sunken eye, and wasted
form, lay the dying man ; around him with faces
blanched, and hearts blasted bv woe, stood grand-pa
rents. uncles, aunts, and cousins, deploring with an in
tensity ol dismal agony, the untimely drooping of their
fairest frailest flower. With how much forceful truth
might Ins affectionate grandmother, so often thus afflic
ted, exclaim
“Oh, ever thus
I’ve seen mv fondest hopes decay,
I never loved a tree or flower,
But ’’.was the first to fa le away!”
And yet he demesne;! himself more as if they all
were guests bidden to tlie revels of a marriage feast,
than the indwellers of ihe chamber of death. He
spoke of death as of some common occurrence-—an
event entirely expected. ‘Am I not dying,’ he asked ;
when answered that he was, he exclaimed: ‘Death
lias no terrors lor me, lain not afraid to die, oh, that
1 could die now.’ Shortly after, he said to his attend
ing physician, ‘Then I must die. ‘ Goodbye!’ and
calmly his gentle spirit winged its flight to heaven.
Among tiie many saddened hearts that stood around
his dying couch, none lamented his cruel fate more
sincerely and more deeply that his faithful servant,
John. Coming into his master’s chamber, a short time
prior to his decease, he looked upon his lips, and they
were pale, he took him by the hand, and found tliut
icy cold. Horror stricken, he stood lor a moment,
then falling upon his knees, he cried aloud as if his
heart would break. What deep, deep grief harrowed
up the sou of that slave, proving though his mind may
be rude, and uncultivated, he Inis a heart that vibrates
to the finest touches of sympathy. Adieu, dear friend,
a long, a long adieu!
“ As ye pass by the tomb,
Where his ashes consume.
Oh moisten his dust with a tear.’’

j Died, in Houston conn y, on tiie 2t>th ulf., Mrs. M vky
JoiM.u, consort of ('apt. Meredith Joiner, in the ‘i'Jth
year of her age. In the death of this aged and good
woman, how forcibly are we reminded of Be ye also
, ready.”
< hangeis written on the tide,
On the forest leafy pride,
Oa the streamlet glancing bright,
On the jeweled crown of night;
All where the eye can rest,
Show it legibly imprest.
! The deceased was a native of North Carolina, and her
aged husband were among the pioneer settlers of this
county, having moved to the place where she died in
I fol*. Mrs. J. had been a consistent member of the
: Church ol the living God for about 54 years; and truly
i were Ihe nobleness of woman, and the meekness and
| humility of the Christian most happily blended in her
character. Ah! what a bright example for her three j
| children, and fbr her numerous grana-children! How
ioften in recounting the trials and sad reverses of along j
and ev eutful lift* to her prattling grand-children, would
| she point us to Him, who tempers the storm to the shorn
I lamb, and who tei lies us that “ble ed are the pure in
heart, for they shall set* God.” But, her Heavenly
I Father has moved her down as a sheaf ripe fbr the gar
! tier of Heaven, and while we bow in humble submission
i to ibis sore affliction, we mourn not as those who have
Ino hope. Our trust and our hope are in the promise*;
I of t sod, that there will be ti re-muon, when we are called
H upon to pass from this mortal slate imo that immortal
inheritance,
Where sickness never comes,
And death no more complains,
And purest pleasure reigns.
And to her aged husband who must soon follow her,
through the of death, we can si ,
Then “weep” not, though lonely and sad be your
hearth.
And cherries.; the home that once echoed with
mirth,
j For when death lifts the curtain that veileth your
1 eyes,
You shall meet vour loved wife again in the skies.
