Like sea foam the moon’s silvor sifted Through the dark swaying houghs of the pine, And fragrant with night’s perfumo drifted. Wind blown, through her tresses divino As she stood, with dark lashes uplifted And eyes Hashing lovo into mine. ’Twas but the swoct story of ages We told to each other that night, But, ah, how its memory assuages The subsequent sorrow and blight That swept from life’s sanctified pages Love’s promise of beauty and light! And when the moon's banner is streaming, Bright sown with the beads of tho rain, And the' star lamps of memory are gleaming Through those uplifted lashes again, 1 rest in tho land of my droaming From life’s bitter pathway of pain. I see in sleep’s sweet recollection, Though fading as soon from my sight, Those features in spirit reflection Shining out of their nimbus of light, And they speak tho samo deathless affection That they spolco to my spirit that night. —J.

Told of Daniel Webster. It is never safe to say things to the ragged, unkempt men one sees and moots a-fishing by some mud pond or stream. This truth is illus trated by the case of Daniol Webster. Wobstor was a fisherman and had sloops and a srunok in which he used to enjoy the pastime. He was not overfastidious in his fisherman’s dress. If ho toro his clothos, he did not take tho trouble to have tho rent, sowod up, and when enjoying his sport ho was a tolerably rough look ing customer, according to a Roches ter papor whose reporter interview ed Mrs. Dawes, a resident of Marsh field in Webster’s days. Webster and Mrs. Dawes’ uncle woro fishing one day from tho shore of the bay, when a stylish young fellow, a visitor at Marshfield, tum bled head over heels into the marsh. The tumbler yelled at Webster, ask ing how much ho would take to haul him out and carry him over tho mud. “A quarter!” answered Webster, and tho deed was done. Whereupon tho quarter was turned over, and Webster had started away when the mud stumbler asked: “To whom am I indebtod?” “Only Daniol Webster.” The man said aftorward that ho apologized for his superciliousness and did not reckon othor people up acoording to tho number of tears and patches and mud on their clothes.
