CHARACTER OF FRANKLIN.
BY LORD pRoUGHAM

One Of the most remarkable men certainly
of our time as pol tician, or Of any age as a
philosopher was Franklin; who also stands
alone in combining these two characters, the
greatest that men can sustain, and in this, that
having borne the first part in charging science
by one Of the greatest discoveries ever made,
he bore the second part in founding one OF
the greatest empires in the world.
In this truly great man every thing seems
to concur that goes towards the constitution
OF exalted merit. First he was the architect
Of his own fortune. Born in the humblest
station, he aised himself by his talents ana
his industry, first to The place in society which
may be attained by the help only Of ordinary
abilities, great application, and good luck; but
next to the lofter heights which daring and
happy genius only can scale; and the poor
printers boy who at one period of his lille had
no covering to shelter his head from the dews
Of NIGHT, rent in twain the proud dominions of
England and lived to be the ambassador Of a
Common wealth which he had formed, at the
Court of the naughty Monarchs Of France,
who had been his allies.
Then, he had been tried by prosperity as
well as adverse fortune, and had passed un-
hurt through the perils Of both. No ordinary
apprentice, no common place journeyman'

THE HOURS.

THE HOURS.
The Hours are viewleSs Angels
That still go gliding by,
And bear each minutes record up
To him who sits on high.
Andwe who walk among them,
As one by one Departs,
See not that they are lowering
Forever round our hearts.
Like summer bees that hover
Around the idle flowers,
They gather every act and thought,
Those viewless Angel Hours.
The poison or the nectar
The hearts deep hower-cups yield,
A sample still they gather swiR
And leave Us in The field.
And some flit By on pnions
Ofjoyous gold and blue,
And some flag on with dropping wings
Ofsorrow's darker hue.
But sill they steal the record,
And bear II far away
Their mission-highi BY day or night
No magic power can stay.
And as we spend each minute
That God 10 Us hath given, cs.o
The deeds are known before His throne
The tale is told in Heaven.
These bee-like Hours we see NOT
Nor hear their noiseless Wings
We only feel, too oft, when flown,
That they have left their sings.
So teach me, Heavenly Father,
To meet each flying Hour
That as they go they may not show
My heart poison. flower!
So when Death brings lis shadows,
The hours that linger last
Shall bear my hopes on Angel wings,
Unttuered by the Past. C.P.C.
