ted Experimentation the cup of life is empoison-
ed by mischance or guile-when the storm hath no
rainbow, and the midnight stars-Where then
are the uerers of cloudless skies and our ann
bright hours ! When the scenes of earthly amh;t-
ION fail, and the hiss of the multitude follows our
downfall-wbither have they departed Where !,
the shadow that attended us, when the sun hath
yelled his beams Where are the summer birds
when the voice of winter sgbs in the eafess forests
Alas 1t is too often but interest-or convenience
or habit or fashionhat preserves the friendship of
mankind
But attachment of n mother, no change of fortune.
no loss OF influence, not even the loss of character
can destroy. As the triumph of children is her own
SO is their downfall and their dishonor. Her heart
bleeds for them instnctivey-her tears flow unbid-
den for their sorrows. Her eyes follow them while
present, and her soul goes with them while absent
with patience that never tires, and sef-denal that
never ceases, she cheerully sacrifices for them her
own comforts and pleasures. Her sympathy is felt,
not obtruded her consolation is never ofcious and
always soothing the spirit her friendship is un
aiterable IN life, and strong in 'death-and she
breahes her last sigh in prayer for the welfare of
her children.
Remembrance hovers over every incident in those
calm and blissfu days, when her presence gave life
its charm. That affection which turned aside the
arrows of misfortune-that genteness which allevi-
ated the pangs of distress-that tenderness which
smoothed the pillow of sickness-that hand which
held the aching head of pain-that pety and sane
tlty which kindled in our heart the pure fame of
devotion-those smiles which beamed upon u.s. and
ever the brightest when the world was frowning-
and that unalterable love which supported US amidst
its unkindness and ingratitude-can these ever be
forgottenl

repeated the words he had already uttered at the
sight of Charlotte Corday, and concluded by ask
ing to be condemned to DEATH in order that he might
Join her in better world His request was graft
fed, and he was executed soon after.-Before he
died, he begged the executioner bind him with the
very cords that had before encircled the delicate
limbs of Charlotte upon the same scafiold, and his
head fell as he was pronouncing her name.
Charlotte Corday, wholly absorbed by the solem-
nifty of her last moments, had not perceived the ef-
feet she had produced upon Adam Lux, and died in
ignorance of it-Hayng the foot of the gull
lotine, she ascended the platform with firm step,
but with the greatest modesty of demeanor Her
countenance," says an eye witness, "evinced only
the calmness of a soul, at peace with itself."
The executoner having removed the handkerchief
which covered her shoulders and bosom, her face
and neck became sufused with a deep blush.
Death had no terrors for her. but her innate feelings
of modesty were deeply wounded at being thus ex-
posed to public gaze. Her being fastened to the fa
tai plank seemed relief to her, and she eagerly
rushed to death as refuge against this violation of
female delicacy.-Biograph,es Of Celebrated Wo-
men.

its pains, and soothed its feverish pillow Where
arc the friends Of our prosperity when the I" evil

There is a melancholy, doubt by which the in
teect is expanded, while the heart is made better
a tempered sadness, sober earnestness, which by
occasionally recalling to the contemplation of an
ideal world, softcns and refreshes those feelings
which habtual intercourse with society is apt to
harden. This is that melancholy which is the true
source of poetical inspiration; because while it re-
fines our feelings and enlarges the sphere of
conceptions, it leaves active ever in the
ercse of social duties, and thus preserves that
mental equilibrium, that balance of the intellect,
the feelings, and the fancy, which is the characteis-
tic of the highest order of genius. Very different
its effects, when is carried to Excessive
melancholy, like excessive levity, is selfish feeling
1t renders us solitary, suspicious, querulous; and
deadens sympathy for Others while it increases
our sensiby for ourselves Those social energies
which should connect with fellow men grow
ndolent and dormant; the active duties of life
forgotten in the passive: gradually we lose our rel
ish for the common and natural feeling, the simple
mirth and tears that make up the mass of human
life, and learn to substitute garing and distorted
portraits, which are the reflection of our own NOR
bid peculiarties, for those simpler forms of unver-
sal truth and beauty which all hearts acknowledge
at once and admire.-Anon.

DIR. FRANKLIN.

A note in the volume Diplomacy ofthe States"
thus mentions the appearance of DR.. Franklin at the
French court:
Franklin appeared at court in the dress OF an
American cutvator. His straight unpowdered hair,
his round hat, his brown cloth coat, formed con-
trast with the laced and embroidered coats and the
powdered and perfnmed heads Of the countries OF
Versailles. This novelty turned the enthusiastic
head. of the French woman. Elegant entertain
ments were given to DR.. Franklin, who, to the rep
utaton of philosopher added the patriotic virtues
which had invested him with the noble character of
an apostate ofliberty. present at one of these
entertainments, when the most beautiful women out
Of three hundred, was selected to place crown OF
laurels upon the white head of the American PM
osopher, and two kisses upon his checks

WHAT is DEATH1

What rs death I asked an infant,
Clinging to its mothers breast;
The Cherub's eye turned AN instant
Upwards to its holy rest
Around its lip n smile was playing,
And tear drop wet its eye;
Smile and tear seemd minglmg-sayins,
1T is not hard for fnc TO die"
What is death1 asked Of Childhoc,i.
Gaily sporting by the side
Ofa stream that through the wildwood
Wandered to the oceans tide
He smiled not at the thoaght Of leaving
Early pleasure rich and fair
lie wept not, bu, his bosom heayng.
Told the sigh was working there.
What is death / asked the blooming
Youth, upon whose brow the sun
In glory dawned his path iIluming, %
Pointing to his manhood on;
He stopped while, and pondered fearful
Der his past time failing now:
The hopes cfyouth grew dina and fearful.
Withered on tha, suupy brow.
What is deothr asked the pleasures,
Crowding round Msuhcod's path,
lie turned upon those fading treasures.
Startled at the name of death
His eyes were glazed ~, gloomy sadness.
Heart has flushed with feeling fraughi,
His fenzied brain stToye in its madness,
To steep its sense in burning thought.
What is death asked parent,
About whose heart aweight Of woe.
That seem'd upon her life inherent,
Hung to lay the sufferer low.
She clasped her infant TO the bosom,
Not the fear Of death could move,
10th to leave the tender blossom,
OF her deep enduring love.
What is death I asked miser,
Hoarding still his golden store:
Scarcely Of his gems the wiser;
Grasping eagerly the more.
Terror fierce his face distorted,
Ghasily grew his look and grim,
lie with life had quickly parted,
Ifhis gold could follow him.

BIRTHDAY VERSES-TO MY MOTHER.

BY Mp. WILLIS.
My birthday. o beloved mother!
My heart is with thee DER the seas!
did not think to count another
Before Iwept upon thy knees
Before this scroll OF absent years
Was blottsd with thy streaming tears.
My own do not care TO check
Iweep-albeit here alone
As if hung upon thy neck
As filthy lips were my
As if this full, sad heart Of mine
Were beating closey upont thine.
Four weary years how looks she now
What light is in those tender eyesl
What trace Of time has touched the brow
Whose look is borrowed ofthe skies
That listen to her nightly prayerl
How is she changed since he was there
Who sleeps upon her heart away
Whose name upon her lips is worn.
For whom the night seems made to pray,
For whom she wakes to pray at morn,
Whose sight is dim-whose heart strings stir
Who weeps these tears-to think other
know not il my mothers eyes
Would find me changedin slighter things
I've wandered beneath many skies,
And tasted many bitter springs,
And many leaves, fair and gay,
From youths full flower have dropped away
But as these looser leaves depart
The lessened flower gets near the coro,
And when deserted quite. the heart
Takes closer what was dear of yore,
And leans ON those who loved il first
The sunshine and tho dew by which its buds hurst
Dear mother! dost thou love yeti
Am remembered in my home'
When those love for joy met
Does some wish that would comet
Thou dostl I am beloved Of thee
But the schoolboy numbers DER
Night after night the Peiades.
And finds the stars he found before,
As turned the maiden Of her token,
AS counts the miser of his gold,
So, till lifes " silver cords is broken"
Would Of thy dear love be told
My heart is fuli-mne eyes wet
Dear Mother! dost thou love thy long lost wanderer yet
On when the hour 10 meet again
Creeps on--and speeding DER the ses,
Ny heart takes up its heightened chain,
And link by link, draws ,lee--
When land is hailed, and, from the shore
Comes of the blessed breath of home,
With fragrance from my mothers door,
OfAowers forgotten when come
When port is gained, and, slowly now,
The old familiar paths pas,
And entering unconscious how,
gaze upon Thy face at last,
And run to thee, all faint and rcak-
And feel thy tears upon my check
Oh, if my heart break with Joy,
The light ofheayen will farer seem,
And shall grow boy,
And, mother-twin be like dream
That we were parted thus for years.
And once that we have dried our tears,
How will the days seem long and bright,
Todneet thee always with the morn,
And hear thy blessings every night
Thy dearest thy first born
And be no more, now in a strange land forlorn'
