Hot niany daysago, 1 saw at breakfast the notablest of all uotabilities, Daniel Webster. IIo is a maguificent specimen. You Biight say to all ibe world, " Tbis is our Yankee Englishmnn ; such limbs we niake in Yankoa land !" As a logicfencer, advocate, or parliamcntary Hercules, one would iuciine to back liini at first Bight agairst the extant world. Tho tanoed complexión; thíit aniorpbou8 crag-like face ; iho dull black eyes under tho precipico of brows, like dull anthracite furcaco needing only to bo blovvn ; the mastiff mouth, bo accurately cloaed ; I have not traced eo much of tiltnt llerhhire rage, that I rernember of in any other man. " I gues I sliould not iiko to be your nigger !" Webster is not loquacious, but he is pertinent, conclusivo; a dignifiod, perfectly-bred man, though not Enghsh in breeding ; a man worthy of tho best reception among us, and meeting such, I understand. - Thomas Carlyl. One of our bravest prcaoHers eays, " I have great hopo for a wicked man ; but elcnder hopo for a mean one. A wicked man may bo couverted and beeoino a pre-eminent saint. A mean man ought to be converted eis or sovon times, one right after the other, to give 1 il in a fair Ftart and put liira on nu eiuality wilh a bold aud wicked man."
