THE LAST DAYS OF WEBSTER.
Partictdarsof the Last Month of his
Life—Grezonstancesl Attending his
Death, etc.
We give below extracts from the por
tion of George T. Curtis's "Life of Dan
iel Webster"..(ptlblished by the Apple
tons,) which refer to the last days of
the great statesman, and the circumstan-*
ces attending his death :
MR. ; WFIBSTER'd
On the same Sunday evening ,on
which this letter was written (October
10,) Mr. Abbott was sitting with Mr.
Webster alone. Mr. Webster desired
hi
4'n
to read aloud the ninth chapter of
St Mark's Gospel, where the man who
b_ . ught his.child,to Jesus,. to be,.cured.
1, - ,; 4•t I, :, .ii;',LpiP)i clump oetieve, all
thins are possible- to, him • that belie
.l
and -.1
veth straightway the , father :of the
child cried out, with tears, Lord i a. be
lieve, help Thou mine unbelief." He
then requeeted•Mr.. Abbott' to` ture to
the tenth chapter of St. - Jelin, where it
is said, "And many believed on Him
there." He then dictated an inscrip
tion, which ho said was
. to be 'placed
on his monument. - A few days later,
on - tbelsth, he revised and corrected it
with his own hand, - andlben wrote out
a fair copy of It and signed it. It is in
these words :
MEM
`!Lord, I believe; help , Thou mine
unbelief."
. ,
Philosophical argument, especially
that drawn , from the vastness' of the
universle in comparison wish the appar
ent insign ficance of this globe, has some
times shaken my reason for the faith
that is tome ; but, my heart has assured
and reassured me, that the Gospel of
Jesus Christ must be a divine reality.
;The Sermon - 4)n the Mount cannot be
a merely human production. This be
lief enters into the very depth of my con
science. The
.whole . history of man
proves it. Daisi'L WEBSTER.
When he first dictated - this inscrip
tion he said to Mr. Abott: get
Well, and write a book on Christianity,
about which we have talked; we - can
attend more fully to this matter. But
if I should be taken away suddenly, I
do not wish to leate any duty of this
kind unperformed. I want to ,leave
'somewhere ndeelaration my belief
in Christianity. Ido not wish to go
into any- doctrinal distinetioni - in re
gard to the person of Jesus, but I wish
to express my. bellef,hi:His mis
,
sion."
THE STARS AND STRIPES,
As his nights at this period began to
be very sleepless; the thought occurred
to him to illuminate the flag on the
little boat beneath his window, already
mentioned by Mt. Ticknor, that •he
might distinguish the Stars and Stripes.
The story was told by Hutch, and from
him it may be best repeated.
One day, about three weeks before lie
died, he called me in and told me
must keep a secret. Well, I told him I
couldn't keep it until I kucw it. He
had a boat that lie called the Home
Squadron, though its name was Crui
ser; and it was kept on the pond be
hind the house just where he could See
It as he lay in his bed. It hadn't any
sail, but it had a pole for a' Hug ; and
he had a small United States slag nailed
to the top of the pole; so he told me
that I must gO and get a nice ship lan
tern and trim'it, at the next evening at
six o'clock I was to put it on his Home
Squadron, and nobody was to know of
it till it was ',there; and when it was
ready I was to•come and tell him.
So I did as he told me, and when it was
all ready I went in and said, "Mr. Web
ster, there's a flock of geese on -the
pond." He understood me in a minute,
and said to Mrs. Webster, "My dear,
Hatch says there's a flock of geese - on
the pond ; come and see them." 'Seems
to me you are iier37 childish," said she;
but she went to the window mil cried
out; "Why, my dear-, your boats are
all on fire?"

drowsiness appeared to co e over him,
1
and his eyes were closed. ,n a moment
or two he opened them, and looking ea
gerly around, he asked : - "Have I -L--

sponse from' all: He' then began the
words of the Lord's Prayer . ; but, after
the first sentence feeling faint, lie cried
out, earnestly, "Hold me up, I do not

He was instantly raised a little by a
mover ent of the pillows, and' then re
peated the whole of the prayer in clear
and distinct tones, ending his devotions
with these word's :
"And now, - unto God, the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost, be praise forever

will to men—that is the happiness, the
essence good will toward men."
TAKING LEAVE OF THE FAMILY.
While he had been uttering the little
discourse which has now been given,
several of the colored servants had gath
ered at the door of the chamber to hear
the last words of a master who had
emancipated - more than one of Wein
from slavery, and all of whom loved
him with their whole heart. He did
not see them, but he • now asked for
them : •
• "Where's- Monica and the rest of
them ? Let me see-their faces. Come
inhere, ye faithful;"
Then addressing . those who stoOd-by
tbe bedside, he said :
"Remember, all, that I remember my
three nieces—my brother's two children,
my sister's daughter, Mrs. Emily Web
ster."
At this moment Mrs. Webster In a
flood of tears, threw her aims around
his neck. He sAothed her emotion with
a tender firmness, saying, "My dear
wife, when you and I were married at
the Bowling Green, we knew that we
.must one day part."
DEATH.
The whole household were now again
in the room, calmly awaiting the mo
ment when he would be released from
pain. All were quiet and composed,
save poor old Monica. She, in the ig
noranne and affection of her,nature, for
some time moved about incessantly in
much agitation, going frequently to the
bedside, looking at her master, holding
up her hands, muttering bits of prayer
to herself, and taking little notice of
the people about her. Once or twice,
however, she addressed herself to Dr.
Warren, and denianded, "Is'nt he go
ing to die?" or ; " Why don't ho die?"
or, You don't think he'll live till
morning?" apparently laboring under
an idea that the Octor had an agency
in prolonging his sufferings. It was
past midnight, when, awakening from
one of the slumbers that he had at in
tervals, he seemed not to know whether .
lie had not already passed from his
earthly , existence. He made a strong
eflint to ageertitin what the conscious
ness that he could stilt perceive actually
was, and then uttered those well-known
words, " I still live!" as if •he had sat
klied himself of the fact that he was,
striving to know. They were his last.
coherent utterance. A good deal later,
he said something - in,which the word
" poetry" was distinctly heard. His
son immediately repeated to him one of

breathing of our dying friend. ' Mo
ments,that seemed hours, flowed on.—
Still the measured beat of time fell pain
fully distinct upon our ears; still the
gentle moaning of the wind mingled
with the only sound that arose within
the room ; for there were no sobs of wo
men; no movements of men. So grand,
and'yet so'calin and simple, had been
his approach to tlio moment when we
finial know that he was with us no
more, that ho had lifted us into a com

who' had been appointed, to wait and
iv'afeti, 'sioivly and meuinfully. walked

world the great Soul iff Daniel Webster,
devoutly thankful for the good he had
been permitted to do; conscious to the
last hour of life in all his rich affections
and splendid faculties, fully believing
that he was entering another state of
existence, an humbly trusting that his
aims on earth had been to do the will of
Him t' who he felt that all created
intelligencea d all human power are
to render up t eir account.
' Is this seat engaged, sir?'
I glanced up from the paper I was
reading, and met the smiling regard of
a genial looking gentleman, apparently
in the prime of life.
It is not, sir.'
` With your , permission, then,' and
he - seated hitnielf beside me.
The train l'had already. started, and
presently U 4 conductor made his ap
pearance, collecting the tickets. Rea
ching us, he detached the appropriate
coupons from our tickets, handing back
the remainder with the usual 'checks.'
Pardon Me,' ' said my companion,
but I perceive that you placo your
ticket in your wallet.'
Yes.'
'lt is unwise, uthafe.'
' Why do you consider it so?' I in
quired, with some curiosity,' returning
the wallet to my pocket.
Suppose, through carelessness, or we
will say accident, your wallet is lost.—
Your pocket may be picked, for in
stance.'
' Your money and - ticket are both
gone. Probably.you do not appreciate
the manifold beauties of such a posi.'
tion ; I do not think it possible, except
by experience.'
6 It, would certainly he an undesirable
situation. I can see that, clearly enough.
Pardon the question naturally suggest
ed—were you ever so placed ?' -
Once; only once.'
' How was that?'
You wish. to profit by my experi
ence? Well, I don't know that I mind
telling you the story. It may serve to
amuse you, if nothing more.' '
It occurred quite a number of years
ago, and over 'what road I was traveling
at the time is of little consequence. I
'had taken the early morning:express
train, anti being somewhat tired and al
together sleepy, bad stretched myself
upon the seat for as comfortable a nap
as circumstances would admit. I slept
soundly, for I could, in those days, sleep
well almost anywhere, and did not awa
ken until the conductor came for my
ticket. The essential bit of pasteboard
could not be found. I was positive I
had purchakml a ticket; indeed, I re
membered istifictly having shown it
to the baggage clerk at the time' of
checking my trunk. Tho conductor
grew impatient, passed to the end of the
car, and returned to me. I had not
found the ticket, but had made the dis
covery that my pocket book also was
gone: I explained to the conductor that
my pocket had been picked, and in
proof of my story showed him my bag
gage check. It was useless. If you
have tra,vTled much, you are aware that
a virtuous conductor takes no man's
word ; in fact, all men have designs up
on the company's dividends except him
self. It was perfectly natural, there
fore, that the faithful steward in ques
_tion should say :
The_clreck is all right; but how do I
know that it — belongs to you? I will
take the money for your litre, or stop
the train and put you off, as you etteiose.-
W hat colild I do? Protestations
amounted to nothing, and nay fellow
passengers, with the usual tendency of
huqutnity to trample upon a fallen man,
showed clearly, by their looks and ex T
pressions, that they thought me a sneat
king rogue, who would steal a Passao
if I could. They had paid their mow
cy ; why should not I pay mine? Few
men would ever see Heaven, if judg
ment were rendered by a jury—except
themselves.
My search for the lost ticket had bro't
to light about a dollar and eighty cents.
This, I told the conductor, NV3IS every
cent I had about me. He - said it was
fifty cents short of the usual fare to
Lauderdale city, but that he would pass
me through for it, rather than stop the
train. I gave it to him. From Lau
derdale, a city of not much importance,
Ixould write to my partner for money.
It would certainly be us well as to tfamp
ten or a dozen of miles back to the city
I had left, nail where I should be no
better off, being (4,itiallj. a stranger
there.
In due time I found my!,self at Lau
derdale; went to the hest. hotel ; tele
giaphed for money, and Wrote an ex
planatory letter to my partner. This
business attended to, I sa)lied out 1 0 see
what sort of a place lAmderdale city
might lie. There was nothing for me
to do, but to iiinue myself as best I
!could until the money should come, and
l i l determined to !mile tile most of my
involuntary holiday. As I strolled lei
'surely up the main street, a newsboy

fifty cents. It was not' much, but more
than I expected. , Well, I continued
my walk, until I finally reached the
end - 01 the street, which ternilhates at
the 1 river, hire spanned by a
long covered bridge. I crossed the
bridge, and was surprised to tie, upon
reaching the opposite side, that I would
be required to pay toll. A young girl
came to the door of the little toll office
as I steppedup to it, and Inquired how'
much I should,pay, drawing forth my
solitary shinplaster. -
' Oh,' she said, with a smile and a
Blight blush, we do not charge minis

It was not a bad ijoke, but I sup
pressed
the laugluths.t rose to my lips,
and thanking herifor the consideration

retraced my step to the hotel, not with
out some slight twinges of conscience
for allowing the mistake td pass, and
taking advantage of . it. The remain der
of the day was spent very quietly, as
was also the evening which followed.
My first duty the next morning was
to seek some knight of the razor. I had
noticed a pleasant little shop at no great
xlistance from the"hotel, in my walk the
,previous day, and thinking that I she'd
do no better by. looking further, I re
paired to that. There was in attend
ance only 0. boy of about twelve years
of age,- who stated that his father, the
proprietor of the shop, had gone to a
neighboring city, and would not return.
before noon. Without any hesitatkm,
I requested the loan of a razor, and
proceeded to operate on myself. While
thus occupied, the customers began to

dissatisfaction upon learning how mat

man, I am not, thank God, cursed with

‘• Fvery toulaeron the Oulu, evpiy pebble by

running across-the county;-in; a north-
, east , and southwesterly_ . direction,. and
Which, with the krinenas,fortuamark
ed feature in the topography of ..the
county. • Unfortunately, this range is
nameless; but it enters the county west
of Yermilyea's, crosses . •Crooked 'creek
at Potteer tavern, the t , - Tioga river at
Lamb's creek, and extends beyond the
Bradford county line. '. The Catskill
group holdsa position at thefootof this
range analogous to the one which it oc
cupies in the Armenas. ' The two beds
onco extended over the, anticlinal line
which 'passes through Mansfield and
Wellsboro, and were connected at the '
close of the Carboniferous Age ; but at
mospheric agencies, rivers, and power
ful ocean currents, have . acted with
great force along this line of upheaval,
so that the tWo beds are now separated
from each other by a distance of ten
miles—though some isolated knobs still
remain in the iiitertening spaCe, as' at
James Hoard s, aud on a. fewof the high
est hills between Mansfield and Troy.
We may gain some idea of the vast
amount of erosion which has taken
place here, when welearn that theanti
clinal line passing. through Mansfield
and Wellsboro, marks the Site of an an
cient mountain range; three thousand
feet high. This may seem incredible to
some, but it is a fact which ban be pro
ven beyond doubt—as we shall see in
succeeding chapters. We know, from
the position of the strata, that all the
rocks, from the base of the Catskill for
illation to the.top of the coal meafiures
at Blossburg and - Wilson creek—m Ore i
than 2,000 feet in all—once passed
over this anticlinal line, and extended
much farther to the north. But since
the close of the Coal Age, these rocks,
have been destroyed by denuding for
ces, and still later, deep valleys—as that
of the Tioga and CoWanesque—have
been excavated below the general lever
of 'the county. Of course we cannot re
sist the conclusion that operations of
such magnitude required untold .ages.
The fossils of the Catskill group pos
sess great interest.. As before remarked,
their formation is pot generally fossilif
erous ; but at some points ,foss il fi sh are
abundant. One of these hrealities is at
Red Rock, in a cut of the Toga rail
road, two miles below Biossburg. This
is the best locality on the continent for
the remains of those remarkable fish
which characterize the Catskill forma-:i i
tion. About two hundred feet of rocks
are exposed, with a heavy dip to the
south ; and though occasional bones are
found through the entire,mass, yet it is
only 3n one place that they are found in
any considerable numbers. This is
near the top of the chff, at the junction
of an impure limestone With red shale
—from which circumstance it would ap
pear that the introduction of the mud
dy sediment which now constitutes the
red shale, was the agent which destroy
' ed the fish. ' These ichthyic remains
ootuligt i of bones, adales and teeth—all
of which are in thc7 most perfect state
of keservation. They retain nearly
their natural color , Viand tho enamel of
the teeth and scales' possess the same
brilliant hues which they did, millions
of yeais
: ago.? The scales are from a
quarter of an inch to three inches in
dlatn;eter,:and aro highly ornamented ;
while sortie of the teeth are an inch in
length. These organisms belonged to
several genera ,of armor-clad fishes,
some of whielias th? Holoptychins—
were five or six feet in length. I. have
obtained many fine specimens from the
above locality, sonic of which have
been much admired by Professor Ages
slz and Professor Dewberry. I have
been informed by Dr. Monis, of Mans
field, thatlan entire individual -of 11.i51- •
optychins was found here when the
railroad was constructed, which is now
pre.4erved in the Academy of Natural
Sciences at Philadelphia. Professor
Ito( era, in' his'report on the geoldgy of
Pei i
Pe isyli'ania, also speaks of finding
l
fragments of the same. species at this
point ; likewise, Professor Hall, in his-
New York report.
Another point wtkere, the Catskill
rocks are well expoqed, is at Lamb's
creek. 'Fossils are ilint so abundant
