Ges. For what
Hid you that arrow in your breast?—Speak, slave!
Tell. To kill thee, tyrant, had I slain my boy!
ADDRESS TO THE SURVIVORS OF THE BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL.
DANIEL WEBSTER.
Daniel Webster, one of the greatest of American statesmen, was born at Salisbury, N. H., in 1782.
His father, Ebenezer Webster, was a farmer and Justice of the County Court. He had been an officer in the Revolutionary war.
Daniel received his early instruction from his mother, a woman of rare intellectual powers, and from the country school which he attended during the winters.
