son, William +. Franklin. 1t is supposed n
have been addressed to Thomas Paine:
"Dear Sir--I have read your manuscr;n,

i contains against particular Providence.
though you allow general Providence, Won

without the belief Of Providence, that takes

pray for its protection. | will not enter into
any discussion of your principles, though YOU
seem to desire it, AT present, shall only rive
you my opinion, that though your reRsonings
are subtle, and may prevail with some readers
you VIII not succeed so as to change The gen.
eral sentiments of mankind on that subject
and the consequence of printing this piece will
be great deal Of odium drawn upon yoprself

that sPits against the wind spits on his own

But were you to succeed, do YOU imagine
any good will be done by it? You yonrsoir
may find it easy to live virtuous life wi,bon,
the assistance afforded by religion; you have a
clear perception ofthe advantages of virtue and
the disadvantages Of vice and possessing
strength Of resolution sufficient to enable YOU
70 resist common temptations. But think how
great portion of mankind consist of ignorant
men and women, and of inexperienced incon-
iderate youth Of both sexes, who have need of

LINES TO THE MEMORY OF MY MorHEI
Many years has she been sleeping
In the cold and silent earth
Many years have been weeping
Over her who gave me birth:
When young childhood buds were springins
And all things seemd full of Joy
"hen lies morning stars were singing,
was left an orphan boy.
Solt ana easy was my pillow,
Graded on mothers breast,
III beneath the weeping willow,
She was laid in endless rest
Soft and easy is her slumber,
In that lowly couch of gloom!
From the cares which life cucumber,
Finding refuge in the tomb.
In that dark and dreary dwelling,
Many moulder by her side
Death's broad river ever swelling,
Launch'd her soul upon its tide
There the babe Of her affection,
Early from her torn away,
Lies among the vast collection, Z
Mingliug with its mother clay. 81
Blending with the dust ofages,
Young and old together lie; ~
Human life in all its stages,
Meets common doom-to n
But the tyrant in his prison
Cannot keep the spirit bq%d--
That on upward wing has Yisen,
That another rest has found
See the infant, young and tender,
From the mother torn apart
What relief has earth to render,
That can heal her wounded heart?
Shall the fond and doatng mother,
As an angel kind and mild,
Loving better than a brother,
Fer forget her bosom chiId'
See the link for ever broken,
Joining wife and husband here
Love surrenders back each token,
Which the vows Of youth made dear:
What shall soothe the husbands sorrow,
Dry his tears, or stay his sighs2
There is no relief to borrow
Seek thy partner in the skies.
Though from carly home long bansh'd,
Memory often travels back,
Through the years which since have vanished
Ger LIES desoIating track
Though long miles OF separation
Shut me from my native land,
let IN pleasing contemplation
OF upon its soil | stand.
Thither will my fancy wander,
Lingering al my mothers grave
There in silent thought ponder,
On the lessons which she gave;
On the virtue she was teaching,
While her tears were on me shed.
When upon her knees beseoching
Blessings on my helpless head
Where the wicked cease to trouble.
And the weary are at peace;
Where this life seems but bubble,
Floating on earths stormy seas;
Where no sighs or sorrows enter,
From the paths her feet have trod--
There IN Heaven her pleasures centre,
There her spirit rests in God.
Sonted spirit! hover DER me,
Guard my actions, guide my way;
Keep thy precepts still before me,
Let me thence no farther stray
May | be prepared to meet thee
When this transient life is DER;
May hope in fear to meet thee
Meet where we can part no more.
