Webster's Tin? from Baltimore to Washington. Mr. Webster, bofore railroads wore built, was forced one night to make a journey, by private conveyance, from Baltimore to Washington. The man who drove the wagon was such an ill-look- inn fellow, and told so many stories of rob berics and murders, that before they hud gone far Mr. Webster was almost frightened out of his wits.

At last the wagon stopped in the midst of a dense wood, when the man, turning suddenly round to his passenger, exclaimed fiercely, "Now sir, tell me who you aro." Mr. Webster replied in a flat ering voice, and ready to spring from the vehicle, "I am D'iniel Webster, member of Congrass from Massachusetts!" "Whut" rejoined tho driver, grasping him warmly by the hand, "are you Webster. Thank God! thank God! You are such a deuced ugly chap that I took you for some rut-throat or highwayman." This is the substance of the story, but tho precise words used by Mr. Webstor himself, in repeuting it, we cannot rocall. Notoriety is tho importunt element of success in businoss.

Tho fire should not be permitted to die out during the winter. By keeping the firo up, an immensity of trouble js saved, and paradoxical as it limy socio, it is cheaper. Tho. reason is this: Tho coal burns out (luring the long nights, because the door of the stove is shut; boras, if the door is left open it will not burn out, and will be perfectly alive in the morning. Less coal, lis therefore, consumed.

Presently our hero saw the young lady trip up the marble steps of a palace of a house, and disappear within its rosewood entrance; for a full minute he stood looking at the then with a wondorful big sigh turned away, disposed of his drawbridge, and wended his path buck to the ship. The next day he was astonished with an order of promotion from the captain.

Poor Jack was speechless with amazement; he had never dreamed of being exalted to the digni ty of a second mate's office on board one of the most splendid ships thnt sailed out of the nort of New Orleans. He knew he was competent, for instead of spending his mon ey for omuicmeiits, visiting tneatres or bowling olleys, he purchased books and had become quite a student; but he expected years to intervene before his ambitious hopes could be realized. Hissuperior officers seemed to look upon him with considerable lcnicy, and gave him a fair opportunity to gather maritime knowledge; and in a year, the handsome, gentleman young mate had acquired uuusu-ulfuvorin the eyes of the portly commander, Captuin Hume, who had first taken the smart little uincK eyeu leuow wuu 111s neuv turpaulin, and tidy bundle, as his cabin boy. One night the young man with all the other officers, was invited to an entertainment at the captain's house. He went, fc to his astonishment mounted the identical steps that two year's before, the brightest vision he had ever seen, passed ever, a vision he had never lorgotton Thump, went his bravo heart, as he was ushered into the great parlor; and like a sleilgo hammer it beats again, when Captain Hume brought forward hiiblue-oycd daughter, and with a pleasant smile said, "the young lady once indebted to your po liteness for a sale and dry walk home." His eyes were all a blaze, and his brown cheeks flushed hotly, as the noble captain sauntered away, leuving 1'nir Grace Hume at his aide.

A correspondent of the New York Times, writing from Marshfield, under date of the 26th says: The remains of Mr. Webster have been placed in one of Flak's metallic burial cases, which is covered with black velvet and ornamented not profusely, however, with silver-plated mountings and handles. The inside is lined with white satin, laid in small plaits.

In his last hours Mr. Webster gave instruc tions for the manufacture of four plain gold bo presented to the following named persons, who have served him faithfully for many years, vizi Sarah Smith, (the nurse,) Monica MacCarty, (his aged cook,) Ann Beau and Wm.

The letter ia dated October 4th, as Mr. Morse, who, as an accomplished artist and colorist, would be presumed a competent judge, says that ne has seen twentv specimens of Mr. Hill's col ored daguerreotypes. The most of these were, be says: like all those of M- St.

The colors of Mr.

Hill's process are so fixed that tho most severe rubbing with a buffer only increases their brilliancy, and no exposure to light has as yet been found to impair their brightness. They are produced in twenty seconds. Mr. Hill has been suffering from hemorrhage, which has interfered with his labors, but Mr. Morse says: Mr.

Hill has made a great discovery. It is not perfected. There is much yet to be done to make it perfect, but he is in advance of all others, and has, within the year, success fully overcome two of his Both yellow and white were defective in quality and truth a year ago both ae now com- paritively obtained.

True enough! there was not much powder wasted in that fearful struggle. But the daring captain fell dead, from bis horse, in the moment of victory. 1 It is related 01 Twiggs, at tne name 01 Cerro Gordo, that the day previous to the general assault, wishing to gain a position strongly occupied by the enemy, ne enquired of the commander of' the- mounted rifles, where there was aregimentready to march straight into not a very desirable place, which we will leave to the Imagination of the reader.

The officer to whom this significant inquiry was addressi replied that he did not know whether his regi-1 ment was quite prepared for that, but that it was ready to do its duty; and it did, too, and nobly. But the most desirable invitation of the kind we have any recollection of ever meeting, was that of General Lane, at the battle of Buena Vista; who, when the Indian- a regiment retreated, vainly implored them to return. Becoming enthusiastic.he appealed to them as they loved their native state, to do their duty. "Come now," said he, "and rush into the thickest of the fight.

Expensive Ride. A Bostonian returning from a tour through Europe, relates to the Boston Journal, the following incident, which took place at St Petersburgh: 'Several of our shipmates were on shore having a good time when in passing through the square containing the colossal statue of Peter the Great, one of them declared he would have a rido on that horse, and no sooner said than he made a leap over the iron fence, and actually commenced climbing up over the tail of the horse, and before the as tonished crowd could interfere to stop the movement, tha capluin was seated on the colossiil horse, behind the great Petor.

The Yankee had accomplished his purpose, und tnken his ridonn Peter's horse, hut the most difficult pnrtof his enterprise was before him: to escapo from the horse without falling into the inds of the guurd, who are constantly stationed around it for its protection; and here our captain signally failed. He was orrested in his descent from his lofty seat and found that there was indeed but a step between the sublime and the ridiculous, as he was led from Peter's horsoto prison. He was tried and convicted, and fined $0,000 for his folly. By tho interposition of tho American Minister the fino was slightly reduced and was then paid by the captain's consignees, and he was released from confinement. When the captain re monstrated with tho judge, at the largeness of the fine, saying it was rather an expen- They Have Carried Away We wish we knew the authorship of the following.

What parent can read it without emotion 1 As the cars in which we were recently traveling halted at the station, our attention was arrested by a bcatiful little girl apparently less than two years of age, who was looking from one of the windows of a house standing but a few feet from the track, She was wailing most piteousiy, and on ner sweet wan face was painted deeper sorrow than we had ever before seen on the face of an infant, such as this. All the while she repeated, with a pathos indescribably mournful, "They have carried away my papa. When will they bring him back!" Presently a lady, whom we instantly recognized as a former acquaintance, came from the house, and, entering the car in which we sat, took a seat near ours. 1 "Did you observe a child at the window" she asked, when the train had agaiu taken wings. "Yes," we replied; "and with doep inter est "A fortnight since," rejoined our friend, "tho father ol that little girl set out for the was always amused at CLOTHING-!

"This was evidently tho first intimation to the little one of hor father's intended de parture.

The young wife nd mother turned from the spot where the long farewell had been exchanged, and reentered the dwelling with streaming eyes.
