A Cure for Sparlliiztig.
Some months since, a joyous coitrag-eou's
—young; woman, residing in New York city,
the daughter‘ of liighly respectable parents,
found herself uningteiitionally detained at the
house of a tieighbor one evening ;‘ and before,
she rvaslawzlre of the fact, scarcely’, til.-_';lli.Ii1t.ttl
set in. The (liS‘.1.lt1C6 to her own home was
but a few blocks, however,and as she ex-
pccted a little g-atlieriiig ofladies and gentle-
men that evening at her f'«rther’s, she determ-
ined upon I'ett_trtiitl_${- borne, unattended, and
bidding her friends good night, she hurried
along upon the Walk towards her I'l!Sltl£‘l1Cc',
into which her family had quite recently re-
moved from another part of the city.
Upon turning the first corner, she was
suddenly startled by the zipproach of a well
dressed young man, who accosted lit’-I'~\\'il.l1 u
" good everiing,’ and offered to escort her
home! Al-at'med, for an iustant,she would
have avoided the stranger,_but as he advanced
to her side, she ventured to turn toward liiin,
and a glance satisfied her——slie recognized
the young gr-rirleiiian as a familiar a’cq‘uain-
tance. Disgiiésiiig her voice, and rep|yiii,r__r
in a timid tone, She acceptetl, the proflbrerl
_gall.mti‘y, dcterrniued at once to aduriu'i.<ter a
lesson to her yonrr_«_{ l'r'iond which he should
not for;_;ot. The conversarioii which passer!
was brief, the bean suspcctiirg nothing’, he
was not aware that the family had changed
their qu-.ir-tors, tripped along at the ynirng
lad_y’s side, very well pleased with his enur-
panion. in a fcw minute-s tliey halted be[‘o.ro

“ Tharrl: you,” was the reply, and his fair

it carefully, they found themselves in the
entry in total darkness.

st-antly;” and with these words she ascended
the stairs which led to the parlor.
The first thought of the young man, as she
.retiretl, was to open the front door and re-
iiiove—for be suspected all was not as he
first arrticipated.
He turned to the door, it was faflt. He
fumbled for the latch, or look, or whatever
sccurcti it, it was not to be ti-runtl ;' and an in-
strint afierw;-.rtls he heard foot».-It-ps approach-

Our hero was content; and drawing off
his boots, be secured them together, and held
them in his hand to await the return of his
I-adj.‘ friend, who again ascended the front
stairs. _
Entering the parlor a moment afterwards,
the female rogue found some half 11 dozenot’
young female friends, with their brothers and
beaux present, to whom she quickly and
briefly cornmuiiicatcd the atlvemure.
"' I've got him in the entry, lown stairs,
she Said. “ Put out the liglits, keep pet'ft‘<‘.t-
ly still, don’t betray the sliglrtest sound, and
I will show you some sport in u riiornc.rrt.”
The liglits were removed, the party at-‘
ranged tliuinselves around the room-=the
bulk of the company lEf1u\’v'll1t‘- Victim intr-
matel_y—aird again the lady clesccritled the
stairs, and approached her friend.
“ Softly, now,” said sire,» taking the hand
whicli was unoccupied with the boots, “ soft-
ly. All is quiet up stairs-—all is at-rangcd—~
cnnre’.2” and she led her gallarit fbyly along;
up the stairway. I-Iis lroots ilringlcd against
the i'.ailing——"' sir i” exclaimed the fair one,
“ for pity’s sake, make no noise, or all is
lost I”
The beau moved on, grasped the boots
more securely by his side, nor dreauied of
aught save bliss I Least of all did he expect
the existence ofa ion: in his stockings; but
he was a bachelor and this was but a trifle.
They entered the parlor. All was dark-
ness and sileiice. ' The lady closed the door
behind them, and led her cunrpanion into the
centre of the room. Not rt breath was
heartl, and little did the gentleman suppose
that hewas at that moment surrounded by
a dozen of his acqrrainrirrrces. .
“Reina-in‘ here one nrouicni,-”‘ said the‘ girl,
“I will get a light-—-'-”
The gallant raised the soft hand '»vlr'ic‘li
had conducted him thus far towards —he
knew not what-—-and ventured to press upon
it a kiss ;- but it was tlext'eroa'sly withdrawn
at the very nick of time, and his lips some
in contact with his fingers !- _ .
“ Wait. a m'oiiie=.it,-.”' added his inainorata,
leaving him quickly‘--and then, passing a
.d-ouriat the farther e'x.t.remi'ry of the room,
she 'disappeared.- A minute had sc'a‘rcel'y
elapsed, but it seemed a rnonth to the little
party, who were irearly choking with sup-
pressed merriment—-it was an age to the vic-
trm.- But gentle footsteps were heard again;
the bean gazed anxiously towards the direc-
tion ofthe door; itopened with asingle‘i_nove-

When, Mr. '»‘l.="s'l3'st.r-.r was about seven‘ years
old, his father kept a lroii.-c‘ of public ciir.cr-'
taimiicnt, wliere the teamstr-.r's, who travel-
led-on the road, were in the habit of obt~.iin-
ing‘ a dinner and t'e.-ailing their horses; lilltl
it is said tlratthe incipient Oftlltii‘ and Si?-lllfiti‘

let’:s,go in and hear’ a Psalm from Dhn l'i"rb‘-
sfer.” Even at that time his voice was deep,
rich,and musical.
A few days after Mr. Vdebster had enter-
ed Exetei‘ academy, he returned to his boar-
diirg house one evening in a very despond-
ing mood, and told his friends tlit-re that the
city boys in the ac-arlcrny were ctriistazitly
langgldng at him becriuse ho was at the foot
of his Class,arid had come from the b-.ic‘l<-.
woods. His friciids eiidezivorcd to Clitftrl‘

think of tiothirig but his hool-:5,-arirl lhzzt all
would yet come out bright. This advice
was heeded, and at the end of the first quar-
ter, Mr. Emery niastered his class in a litre,
and formally took the arm of ypoung W abs-
ter and marched him from‘ the foot to the ox-
treme head of the class. cxclairning, in the
mean wliilr.-, that this was his proper posi-
tion. Such an event had for iii-any’ days
be-air anticipated, but when actually accom-
plisbed the remainder of the class were sur-
rised and cliagrined.
This triumph grcatljv on'c<rirr‘a_;red the boy
Daniel, and be renewed his efforts with his
boolts. He did notdoubt but that there were
nrany boys in the class as siirart. as himself,
if not sinartcr; and he looliecl with some
a'n:‘{iot_-,r to the second qtlzirtt-i'. Tire day at‘-
rived, the class was ii:ri.~:te-rerl, and Mr. Err‘:-
ery stout‘. b-1-fore it, when the breatl.-lc.<s si-
lgnce was broken by these words 2- " D::n‘el
Webster, gather up your books and take
down your cap.” . ‘
The boy olieyed, and, t‘ninl.'r'ng that he
vans about to be cftpelietl from strhool, was
sorely troubled about the cause of the cala-
niiry. The tr:-.ic'tier' saw this, but soon’ dis-
_pi'-.llnd the illu.-tion,for l.e conrrmicd: “ Now,

To the Goiternmrul of Ifzc United States of
Amcriccz, am.’ to my Fellow Count:-_7pacn :—'-'
An American citizen, deprived ofliberty
and denied jiistice, respectfully begs lcaveio
lay before you the following facts and appeal.-
Upon leavingtho steamer Georgia on the
i6l..l'i of October‘ last,I was ‘suddenly, and
without previous accusation, arrested and tax
lten to the office of the police. On search-'
ing my person and that of a’ gentleman who
accompatricd me, no papers or letters of any
kind were found upon either of us, .We
were then talten to the hotel where l board-'
ed, accon'rpanied by the Chief of Police,-
who dcinantled to be shown my room. On
ascertaining rhatl had no room there, we
were taken to my residence, and my papers
seized. The ge-ntlenian‘ who accornpanie
me was then put at liberty. Myself and all
my books and papers were taken to the rcsi-'
deuce of one of the police COmfl‘liSS(ll'i8S,-
it-'hei'e‘_fo(tr days were occupied by two gov‘..-
cminozrt interpreters in re.z:tlirig my letters.-
On the 21-st of October‘ I was thrown into
a tlriiigooii of the city prison, and all corri-
n"r‘irni_c;-.ti:>ii of my friends strir:rl_v forbidden.-
On the ‘2.3tli_,- I was removed to my present-

cused of trearroii. At t_iie.sariie time, I was
rvquirml to select one from a list of officers
hat was pt‘esct‘if(!d tonic, who should con";
duct my defence. Not kaotvirrg any one of
thorn, I t-‘hose one at random, suppo.-*in‘,<,r he
would corrsuit with me and my legal adviserit
as is usual in such case.-,in regard to my die‘-'
lence. _Ou the 7th‘ i-nst., l was for the first’-
time allowed to see my friends, and to con-

The Atiicrican Consul, Mr. Owen, as soon
as he was informed of this, proceeded to the
paluce,nud protested ‘against the sentence
being pronounced, as I had not been heard
in defence‘. In the morning, my nominal-
deft-nder came to my prison to inform me‘
that he had been allowed by the court onlv'
twenty-four hours to prepare my (.lt'f8l1Ce';;
that he had been occupied till‘ that moment
exar'nining the pr‘oct«edings,- which were
voluminous, and that within an hour he‘
must return llletll to the I3‘i.scal. On the 151},
I was taken lrctore a court martial, coinpo~'
set! of a brig'adiet' general and six officers
of the arn:_y. 'I‘lre testimony and procee-
diiigs were read before I was brought in-'
to court, wlricli is (:Ot‘.i1'a‘1‘.VI() law and cus-"
