Mn. WEBSTER IN THE Sick CHAMBER
The Washington papers of Saturday men,
ton the death, at Browns Hotel, of a
young man from Massachusetts, (Nathan-
el Ray Thomas, aged 81, who was taken
sick four or FIVE weeks ago in that city
while on his way to the west. This young
gentleman belonged to family residing
near Mr.. Webster's farm in Marshfeld,
and that gentleman's absence from the
Senate, for some time past is attributed to
the devotion which he felt it his duty TO
pay to his dying young friend, at so
great C distance from his family. The
Madsonian says


We may be permitted TO add that the
scenes of this death bed were of very af-
fecting character, and we feel that in alud.
ing to them we shall be doing scarcely
justice to that great goodness Of heart
which is only eaualled by the universally
acknowledged greatness Of the intellect oI
Mr.. Webster. Our experience renders
toubly poignant those sympathic emotions
which we can neither resist feeling nor ex-
pressing, in view of the suffering Of this
youth, and the affecting tenderness and
devotion of his distinguished friend.


Days ana nights, almost without inter-
rupton, we are Informed by friend who
was frequently present, Mr.. Webster hung
over his uneasy pillow, and with all the af-
fectionate kindness of father, soothed
his pangs. and quieted the mental excite.
ment with which he was afflicted. He did
not stand by to see others attend, but him
self engaged in the Office fprinciple nurse,
and it was evident that while the disturbed d
mind Of the sufferer was unable to recog-
nize other friends, the kind voice and
ministerlng hand of Mr.. Webster were al
ways gratefully recognised by the dying
youth, and often an approaching paroxysm
Of insanity and convulsion was allevatcd
or prevented by his embracing him andkis-
sing his burning cheek.
