EAELY LIFE OF DANIEL WEBFJUJM
HIS AtTOBIOOttAWir.
The year following tuy birth uiy father
removed from his first residence, which
was a log house on the hill, to tho river
side, in tho same town; a distance of three
lei'-s.?Hero in the meadow land by tho
river, with rougu, high hilln liaucing over,
was the sccno of my earliest recollections ;
or as was said in another case, ??Hcre I;
foand tnyself." I can recollect when it j
wat 1760, bat cannot, say that I can re- j
member further book. I have a very vi
vid itnoression. indeed- of somerliiniT mliirh
took plsce some yean carfter, especially of
an extraordinary rise in tho river. I re- |
member how the deluge of rain bent, for I
two days, on the house; how nil looked 1
anxiously to see the liver overflow its banks,
hctr the Titer: sprced />trer f-h** nirH(|nwMi <
how the boat coming from *for, on the oth
#r ??1a of tho rieor, was rowed up till it
almost touched the door atone. Ilow Mr. i
Cr'e great barn, fifty feet by twenty, fall of
hay an? grain, sheep, turkeys, sailed i
down the current majestically before our
eyes, and how vrc were all busy preparing
to fly to the mountains,as soon as our house
should manifest a disposition to follow Q's j <
barn. I remember or seem to rouieuibcr
all these things. I did, indeed, see as
much of them as a child of five years could
aee, for I think it was in 1767, but still 1
aa of opinion that my impresaion is from
narrative, and not from remembrance of
the vision. Plain,intelligible and striking ,
things of thia kind, 1 have learned, mako
an impression upon young minds in rooiwu,
which it is diflioult afterwards to dietiaguUh
Tom actual personal recallec- j
kits.
I do not remember when or by whom 11
was aught to read; beoausc 1 cannot aud j

the fall extent of bin very limited ability.
No meant were within hit reach, generally
speaking, but the small town aohools.
These were kept by teachers, sufficiently
indifferent, in the several neighborhoods of
the tawnsu.p, each a eun.ll part of tho
jejr. To these 1 was aenl, with the other
ehildrea.
?*Whea the school was in oar neighborhood
it vu easy to attend; when it remor.
ed to a move distant district I followed it, '
till Hvisw at home. While yet young,
and in Winter, I was sent daily 24 or 8
miles to school.? When it removed still"
farther, my father sometimes boarded inc
out in a neighboring family, so that 1
c/uld still be in tbs school. A good deal
ef this was extra care, more then had
been bestowed on my elder brothers, and
originating in a conviction of the slendernets
and fteilty of my constitution, which
was tbeagbt not likely ever to ellow me to
pan us robust occupation.
In these schools nothing was taught but
reading and writing, and, of these the first
I generally eonld perform better than the
teacher, and the last a good master could
hardly inetruct me in; writing was so laborious,
irksome end repclsive en oecepaiion
to me always, my amsters wed to tell me
that they feared, after ail, mj fingers wets
destined for the plow-tail.

about that time received au impulse, umcn

I remember, too, that I turned over th
leaves of Addison's criticism on Chev
Chase for the sako of rending connectedl
the song, the vorses of which ho quote
from time to time as subject of remark. 1
was, so Dr. Joho.son mid in another cast
that the poet was read and the oritio sva
neglected. I could not understand why i
was necessary that the author of the Spe<
wor auould take such great pains to prov
that Chevy Chase was a pood story; tha
was the last thing I doubted.
I was fond of poetry. By far the gTea
tor part of Br. Watts'a Psalms and Hymn
I could icpeat meiwriUr, at too or twelv
years of ago. I nni sure that no other sa
cTed poetry will evor appear to mc so affec
ting and devout.
I remember that my father brough
homo from soinc of the lowor towns Pope'

pamphlet. I took it, and very soon ccuh
repeat it from beginning to end. We ha<
so few books, that to road them once o

I remember one occurrence that show
the valuo attached to books, The close o

the fact oould bo ascertained by inspeotioi
of the book. I arose, groped my way t*

conseqoenoos of my error had well nigl
been serious. It was about 2 o'clock ii
tho morning, and just as I was strain go
