INSTINCT.

Doctor Benjamin Franklin, after the de-
cease of his father, returned to Boston, iii
order to paw his respects to his mother, who
resided in that city. He had been absent
some years, and at that period of life, when
the greatest and most rapid alteration IS
made in the human appearance, at a time
when the querulous voice OF the stripping
assumes the commanding tone OF the adult,
and smiling features of youth are succeeded
by the strong lines of manhood. The Doc
tor was sensible such was the alteration OF
his person, that his mother could not Know
him except bv that instinct, which 1t IS be-
lieved, can cause mothers heart TO beat
most violently in the presence ct child, and
point the maternal eve, with quick and sud
den glance, to beloved son.
To discover the existence, OF this u1Sfincl
by actual experience, the Doctor resolved
to introduce himself as a stranger, to ms
mother, and to watch, narrowly, for the
moment in which she should dicover her
son, and then to determine, with the cool
precision of the philosopher, whether that
dicovery was the effect of that instinct OF at
| fection--that intuitive love--that innate at
tachment. which is conjecturcd to cement
relatives of the same blood; and which, by
according the passions OF parent and CHILD
| like a well-tuned viol, would at the tlrs'
touch cause them to vibrate in unison and al
once evince that they were different chords
of the same instrument.
| On a sullen chilly day, in the month o.
January, in the afternoon, the Doctor knock

HARMONY IN FAMILIES.

Impartiality tends greatly to promote har-
mony in families. Hence the necessity OF
parents not manifesting any partiality to one
or more of their children. In the favored
child, it laws the foundation tor pride and
self-importance, and in the neglected one, 1t
raises Indignation if not hatred; whatever
NAV be the motives assigned for Partially,
parents must answer to the Judge OF all the
earth, for the sorrows and evils it produces,
Harmony in family will be greatly inter
rupted, should the father and mcther pursue
different systems in the management OF their
children. 1t is therefore necessary that they
adopt similar plan, otherwise one or the
other of them, and perhaps both, will lose
the esteem Of their children; obedience to
each is not to be expected, or the probabiil-
ty is, that bad habits and ihcoherent princl-
pies will be established.
In order to promote love and harmony
among children, one should not be allowed
to domineer over or tease the other. Nor
ought one to be praised at the expense OF
another. No envious comparison must DC
drawn. Children should not be allowed to
scoff at one who happens to be an offender
This practice destroys affection, and gives
rise to resentment and retaliation. lhey
should be taught to feel for one another when
in disgrace, and not be prohibited from III
terCclinp.

A HEROINE,

From Broughton's letters written in Nah
rata camp, we extract the following as
noble exception amid the visianes OF a
treacherous and distin. u ahetl people.
at was in one of these battallons that an
interesting young girl was discovered, about
a twelvemonth ago, who had served IN 1t Tor
two or three years as a Sipahec; in which
capacity she had acquired the favor OF her
supr riors, and the regard OF her comr Ides,
by her quiet and inofensve behaviour and
regular attention to the duties OF her sta
ton. 1t was obs, rived that she AWAY $
dressed her own dinner, and ate 1t. ana per
formed her ablutiuns, BY herself; but not
the slightest suspicion of her sex was IN
tertained, till about the time ! menrone1, /,
when it vas discovered by the curiosity OF d
young Sipahee, who followed her when She
went to bathe After this She continued to
serve for some months, reso' 'utcly declining
the patronage of the Baee. who proposed 70
receive her into his own family, as well As
the offers of Muha Raj to promote her i'll
the corps she belonged to. The affair soon
became the subject of general conversation
in the camp; and having expressed a
strong wish to see Jerusalem or Singh, the
name by which the Indian ID Eon went, one
of our Sipahccs, who was acquainted with
her, brought her to my tent. She appeared
to be about twenty two years ofage, was We
ry fair, and. though not handsome, possess
ed most interesting countenance. she
spoke freely of her profession and her i'm
mediate situation; but betrayed neither the
affected bashfuluess nor forward boldnes'
which such situation was likely to have
produced. And let it be recorded to the
honor of every party concerned, that iron
the moment when her sex was discovered
she met only with increased respect and at
tention from her comrades; not an ndividu
al presumed to utter word that might in
suit her, or breathing doubt that could at
feet her reputation. AT length her motiv
for enlsting and remaining in the seryic
was discovered.
An only brother was confined for debt d
Bopal, and this interesting young crcatur
had the courage to enroll herself as com
mon soldier, aud afterwards persisted in ex
posing her person to the dangers and dltt1
cuties of military life, with the generou
idea of raising money sufficient to lberat
this loved relation from confinement"

before the parlor fire. Although the board
ers appeared to conhde, perfectly, in the
strangers honesty, it was not so with Mrs.
Franklin. With suspicious caution she col
lected her silver spoons, pepper box, AND
porringer, from her closet; and after secur-
ing her parlor door, by sticking fork over
the latch, carried the plate to her chamber;
charged the negro man to sleep with his
clothes Onto take the great clever to bed
with him, and to awaken and selze the va
grant at the first noise he made in attempt
ing to plunder the house. Having thus TAX
en- every precaution, she retired to bed with
her maid, whom she compelled to sleep in
her room.
Mrs Franklin rose before the sun, rous.
ed her domestics, unfastened the parlor door
with timid caution, and was agreeably sur
priscd to find her guest quietly sleeping on
his own chair. A sudden transition from ex-
tremc distrust to perfect confidence, was nat
ural. She awak encd him with a cheerful good
morning; inquired how he rested; invited him
to partake of her breakfast, which was al
ways served previous to that of her board
ers And pray sir, said the lady, as she sip
ped her chocolate, as you appear to be
stranger here, to what distant country do
you belongl !, madam, belong to the city
of PhiiQdrlhkiG. At the mention of Phiia-
phia the Doctor declared he, for the first
time, perceived any emotion in her. Phil
adelphia said she, and all the mother suf-
fused the eye: if you live in Philadelphia,
perhaps you kaow our Ben. Who madam
Why Ben Franklin--my Ben. What, said
the Doctor, is Ben Franklin the printer
your son, why, he is my most intimate
friend he and lodge in the same room.
oh God forgive me, exclaimed the old la
dy, raising her watery eyes to heaven--and
have suffered an acquaintance of my Ben
ny to sleep in this hard chair, while my
self rested on good bed
How the Doctor discovered himself to his
mother he has not informed us: but from the
above experiment, he was firmly convinced,
and was often afterwards heard to declare,
that naturaf affection does not exist.

THE SNOW FLAKES.

Ye are falling to earth from your ancient domaln'
We arc shrouding her bosom in triumph again;
We are sweeping on with the wintry blast!
Yc are ruling all-but your sway cannot last
Pile ye up! pile ye up your crest OF white
As ye fall, and mingle your wreaths OF lie;
lYe are welcome, welcome to rest on the earth'
But tell us the place of your icy birth
ave come from those clouds that are ioatne on
high,
Still tlarkning the face ofthe cold blue sky'
The chill breath of winter but scattered our tram,
10 ningle anew on this earthly domain
We would gladly descend in unerring array,
But the tempests of heaven will blow us astray!
We must follow them still where'er they may
guide,
To the shade that we love OF the sunny hill side.
Like man we remain but moment below,
And are subject like him to each blast that may
blow;
Like him we ascend rejoicing on high,
To the place Of our birth in the sapphire sky. .

When Hopes fairy fingers are straylng
o,+rthe chords ofthe youthful heart,
And fancy in prospects displaying
The bliss that new years may lmpart;
When sweet feelings are ever unsprlnging,
And the pulses all ioyou,ly beat,
When each day a new treasure is bringing,
Oh. then indeed life is most sweet!
When the torch of affection Just lighted,
Burns bright on the altar Of truth,
Ere the cold, selfish world yet has blighted
One innocent feeling ofyorlth,
When earth seems a garden unfading,
When flowers cEngaround our glad feet,
When no cloud our bright heaven is shading,
Oh then indeed is life most sweet!
When the cold breath of sorrow is sweeping
Ger the chords of the youthful heart,
And the youthful eye dmmcd with strange weep
ing,
Sees the visions of fancy departs
When the bloom of young feelingis dying;
And the breast throbs with passions fierce
strife,
when our sad DAYS are wasted in signing,
Who then can find sweetness in life!
When unkindness or coldncss has faded,
The pure undeiiled light OF love,
And the lnists Of the cold world have shaded
The dreams that around our hearts move;
When earth seems wide waste OF sorrow,
No longer with bright blessings rife,
When we look but for clouds on each morrow
Who then can find sweetness in life

How short lived is the bloom!

Hangs whitening ereftis noon;

But mourn the pleasures gone.
