Time—that bcautifier of the dead—has already begun to weave it* golden tissues around the great name of Daniel Wehster, and to linge it with the unfading hues of immortality. Thd newspaper press of all characters and creeds, from one end of the nation to the oth*r i« crowded with the records of his great deeds, and private life. Every heart seems to be throbbing with sad emotions, and every tongue is eloquent in his praise. As if unwilling to let any thing be lost, all are busy in gathering up the slightest mementoes of his fame, and even, is searched out and treasured up as a relic of invaluable worth. Many original private letters, and reminiscences of friends have already been published, and the world ii promised a coQneciioo narrative of his retired hours, which it is said will prove surpassing interest. Prom what we have already persued, we find that his private life is studded with gems and when his biography is truly written, bringing out all those peculiar and beautiful characteristics of his domestic hours which so endeared him to his personal friends it will no doubt be the most interesting .jurk-oi. the kind that the century has produced. lioiiasfo s«Jid siU

is the man who has a home and a Utile angel in it of a Saturday night. A house no matter how little, provided it will hold two or so—no matter how humbly lutnishod, provided there is hope ia it—lei the winds blow—close the curtains?

What if they nre calicoe, or plain white without border, tassel* or any such thing? Let rain come down—heap up the fire. No matter if you haven't a candle to bless yourself with, for what a beautiful light glowing coals make, reddening, clouding, shedding a sunset through the room just enough 10 talk by—not loud, as in highways not rapid, as io the hurrying world, but fcoftly, whispering, with pauses between, for the stortn without and the thoughts within to fill up.

Then wheel the sofa round before the fire—no matter if the sofa is a settee,, uncushioned at that, if so be it just long enough lor two, or say two and a half, wjth the two and a half in it.

Under such circumstances, and at such a time, one can get at least sixty-nine and a half statute miles nearer "kingdom come," than any other point in this world laid down in "Malte Bron."

A Good Om fiilj

Ludicrous blunders sometimes occur in oases where ignorant persons attempt the use of language about the meaning which they know nothing.

Not long sum* while traveling frdm Pittsburgh to Cincinnati, two rather verdant specimens of the female sex came on board the boat at one of the landings, who, for the sake of distinction, we will call Mary and Jane. Now, Mary had out her eye teeth, or in other words, was acquainted with the rules and regulations whioh govern ganteel society. Jane, the younger had never mixed in sooiety to any great extent, and was, therefore, in blissful ignorance as to any of the rules which govern refined people. Her language, too, was only such as she had heard among the rustic associates. Mary was aware of the fact, and had, therefore cautioned her to obaerve how she (Mary) aoted, and to govern herself accordingly. Jane promised implicit obedience. Shortly after, while seated at the dinner table, the waiter asked Mary what part of the fowl she would have.

She informed htakin very poHfe manner, that it was "perfectly immaterial." He acordingly gave h*r a piece, and then inquired of Jane what part she would choose. The simple minded girl replied with ail the self iHasuranee imaginable— "I believe I'll take a piece of the iwmeUert*! too." #***,

The scene that followed this declaration ts beyond the power of pen to describe. The assem* bled company were compelled to give vent to their surcarhged feeling! in peals of boisterous iaaghier: whilst the poor gin, her face suffVtsed with crimson bWabes left the utile, declaring as he fled to the cabin—"They wtm't ketch me aboard of one of these pesky steamboats soon again." i~,-. lx$TUfcT u» a Bian.—-Once when traveling u» Tennessee, Wilson was struck with the nauitt io which the babHs of the pennsted grouse are adapted to its residence on dry, sandy plaias.

Charles Brocket and Ledlw Westen, were spprentiees to oadrpenter by the name of Jonas White. They were neaHy of the same age. about nineteen, end they were both oft them of remarkably good disposition, and withal very punctual at their work. Mr. White eras a kind indulgent man, and his workmen had no occasion to eompletn of his requirements. 'Cahrley,' said Ludlow Weston one evening, after they had closed their labors upon howe that Mr. While was erecting, 'let's have ride this evening-.'

returned (Charles Bracket, as he removed his apron. The answer was short,yet it was kindly spoken. atsv. *#*$« 'Come, do,' urged Ludlow. *lt will be*- beautiful evening, and we can have a first rate, time.-— Won't you got*

I cannot, Lud.* 4 *But why?' 'Because I am otherwise engaged, and besides, I haven't the money to spare.' •Never mind the engagement, but come along, and I will pay the expenses.' 'If ever I joio with a companion in any pastime that involves pecuniary expense, I shall always pay my ahare but to night, Lud, I have an engagement with myself.' I a *~%l 1

Here the conversation" ended. That evening" Ludlow Weston hired a horse and chaise, and went to ride while Charles Bracket betook himself to bis room, and was soon deeply interested in the History of Architecture. Some parts he would read over several times so as to thoroughly comprehend them, and occasionally be would tako notes, and copy some of the drawings. Before he bad retired to his rest, be had finished ft# took and when he arose the next morning, the subject of his study was fresh and vivid in his mind, and he felt happy end saiified with himself. •Ah, Charley, I had a glorious time last night,' said Ludlow Western with a heavy yawn, as the two apprrnticef met before breakfast. •So did I,' returned Charleit. •At your dry books, eh?' -3 *Yaa* 'S'b'isr •W eii I don't eavy yon. %rfOii%,ttetw!* of last night's supper and ride wiH give «nm*ni«ai for a mooth. •And the recollections of my last night's stttdy may benefit me for a lifc-urne.* •Bah!' said Ludlow.

And what can be, Charley? •I borrowed $ book of Mr. White a few days since, and I promised to return it as soon as possible, so I must devote this evening to reading.' 'And what is the subject prey?, asked Ludlow. •The History of Architecture,' returned Charles Bracket.

bah! Such dry stuff as that!' 'it's not dry, I assure you, Lud.' 'It may not be to you, but it is to me. What, poring over architecture all night, £fter woHkina hard »l it all day. Tjm7 mmH 'Yes.* returned Charles 'because I am tITus enabled to lesrn more of the different branches of our business.' 'Well,' said Ludlow, with a slight toss of the head, *for rny part I learn full as much about the carpenter's trade at my work as 1 shtli ever find use for. I din't see the use, after a poor fellow has been tied ap to mortice*, grooves, sills, rafters, sleepers ana such matters, all day long, to drag away the night in studying the same stuff over again.' •Ah, Lud,' replied Charles Bracket, you don't take the right view of the matter. Every man makes himself honorable in a peculiar business, just so far as he understands that' business thoroughly, and applies himself to its perfection. It is not the calling or lhet trade that makes the man, but its the honest enterprise with which the calling' is followed. In looking about for a business thai should give me support through life, 1 hit upon and chose the one in which we are now engaged, and when I did so, I resolved I would make myself useful in it. We have something besides mere physical strength to employ and cultivate we have a m^nd that must labor at something. Now physical labor is tedious and unthankful but when we combine the mental and physical, and make them assist each other, then we £ndiabor a source of comfort.' 'Really, Charley, you are qnite a philosopher, and I suppose what you say is true but theu I should like to know if it don't require some mental labor to keep up with the instructions of our boss, now? I declare it keeps me thinking pretty sharpely.' •That may be,' said Charles,'but after all, the ohly mental labor you perform is memory. You only remember Mr. White's instructions and then follow them, and in so doing, you learn nothing but the mere method of doing th9 work you are engaged en. For instance, you know how long to make the rafters of the house we are now building, and you know how to let them it the plates but do you know the philosophical reason for all this/ Do you know why you are required to perform your work after given rules?' •1 know I am to do it, and that when I am of age, I shall be paid for doing it, and I know how to do it. That is enough,* answered Ludjow, wi^much emphasis. Kia •It is not enough for me,' said Charles, 'Every piece of mechanism has a science in iis composition, and 1 would be able to comprehend that sience so as to apply it, perhaps, to othea uses.— In short, Lud, I would be master of my business.' 'And so would I. I tell you, Charley* 1 believe I could frame a bouse now.' 'Such a one as you have been taught to build, Lud.' •Certainly. Everybody must be taught.% •True and everybody may gain improvement upon the inatructions by self-culture.' •Then you won't go to ride this evening?* 8914. Ludlow, as they reached their boarding house. •No.'

Mary Waters and Sophia Cross were ooth of them good girls, and they really loved tbe youths, whose attentions they were respectfully receiving. Charles and Ludlow had already talked of marriage with much promise of joy, and all who knew diem tiad reasons to believe that they both weald inake gqpd husbands.

Thus time glided away. Both of the young men laid up some money and the were both steady at work.but Charles pursued his studies with unremitting diligence, while Ludlow could never see any use, in a mete carpenter bothering his

Two years were soon swallowed up in the vortex of time, and Charles and Ludlow were free.— They both hired to their old master, and for several months they worked on in the town where Mr. White resided Ludlow Weston was married to Sophia Cross, and they boarded with the. bride's mother.

A in't^mi-never going to get married?' asked Ludlow as he and Charles were at work together. •As soon ns 1 cat! get a house to put a wife into,* quietly returned Charles.' •Why you can hire one at any time^V.'iiJfl 'I know that, but I wish to ownone.'^•Then poor Mary Waters well have to wait a long time I'm thinking.' gTJ**" 'Perhaps so,' Charles" said with a smile onr his countenance.'

Then JLu£llp1wiw|iii«tlf&,j\^wiqj|?cJk9.ftooUnued his woik. J.*•-a11 •Boys,'said Mr. W. as he came -into the shop one morning, where Charles and Ludlow were at work *we are soon likely to have a job in S The new State House is going up 09 soon as the committee can procure a suitable .plan and I shall have an opportunity to contract for a good share of the carpenter's work.' •Good. We shall have a change of air^said Ludlow in a merry mood. \\,«*»«?»'t|

That evening Charles toot his paper from the post office, and in it lie found an advertisement calling for ah architectural plan for the new Stale House, lie went-home, locked himself up in his room, and devoted half the night to intense thought and study The next day he procured a fine sheet of large drawing paper, and again be-v took himself to his ro6m, where he drew out his ta-s ble. spread his papef, and taking his mathematical instruments he set himself about his task. For a whole week he worked every night till Ivvelve or one o4clock, and at the end of that time his job was finished. He rolled his sheet of paper substantailly up in a wrapper, and .having directed it to the committee, he entrusted it to the care of a stage driver, to be delivered at its destination in the city ol S—.

Nearly three weeks rolled away and Charles be^ gan to fear that his labors had been useless. It was just after dinner. Mr. White and his men had just commenced work when four gentlemen entered the shop who^e very appearance at once bespoke litem to be men of the highest standing in society. •Is there's 'Mr. Charles Bracket here?' asked one of them. 'That is the man, sir,' returned Mr. White, pointing to where Charles in the^ check apron and paper .cap was at work.

The stranger teemed a little surprised as he turned his eyes iupon the youth and a shade ^of doubt dwelt upon his features/

It your name Bracket sir?' He asKed as he went up to where tbe young man stood. •It is sir,' replied Charles trembling with strong excitement. •Did you draw this plan?' continued the stranger openiug a roll of papfcr he held in his hand. •I did sir,' said Charles, as he at nixed his work. •Did you originate it?' 4m

Charles,' tittered the old carpenter, wiping a pride-sent tear from his oheek as he gazed upon his former apprentice, "when did you du this?*, 'Three weeks ago sir.' •And that's what's kept yon up so late every night for week?*

Yea, sir.* There's a powerful genius' there, sir,* said die spokesman of the visiters. •Ay,* returned Mr. White,

Mr. Wtiite and Ludlow wondered what it all meant. •Well sir,' at length said*he "wHo'held the plan, am not a little surprised that one like you should have designed and drawn thisf but nevertheless you are a lucky man. Your plan has been accepted in every feature, and your recommdations have been adopted.

The effect of thia announcement upon Charles Bracket was like an electric shock. Objects seemed to swim before his eyes, and he grasped the edge of the bench fdr support. •Gentlemen.' said Mr. Whitfe, 'I do dot udfeirstand this. What does it all mean!' ft means, sir. that this youhg man has designed a complete and architectural plan for the new State House, and it has been unanimously adoptrd by the commttte, from among fifty others which they have received from different parts of tbe country.*

Chares Bracket saw the building he.|ad planned entirely finished, and he received the highefl.cn* comiums of praise from the chief officers of the Slate. Business flowed in upbn hi^n,1 and ere" many years. Bracket, the architect, was known through, out tbe Union. When he led Mary Waters to the hymenial altarv he did oyn one of the preitjest houses in his native town nor did "poor Maiy" have to wait long either.

When he made his'appearance at the State H01/&, it must be confessed that his lout ensemhh was anything but fashionable.
