DIR. FRANKLINS WIFE.

Franklin, in his sketch of his life and habits re-
lates the following aneodote of his frugal wife. A
woman could scarcely make prettier apology
Tor purchasing the first piece of luxury.
1T was lucky for me that had one as much
disposed to industry and frugality as myself
She assisted me cheerfnlly in my business, folding
and stitching pamphlets and tending shop, pur-
chasing old linen rags for making paper, &c. We
Kept no idle servants our table was plain and
simple, our furniture was of the planest sort For
instance, my breakfast for long time was bread
and milk, mo teal and ate it out of a two penny
poringer with spoon, but mark how luxury will
enter families, and make progress in spite of
principle. Being called one morning to breakfast,
found it in china bowl with spoon of silver.
They had been bought for me without MY knowl-
edge, by my wife, and had cost the enormous sum
of three and twenty shillings, for which she said
she thought her husband deserved a silver spoon
and china bowl, as well as any of her neighbors.
This was the first appearance of plate or china in
our house, which afterwards in the course of wears
as our wealth increased augmented gradually to
several hundred pounds in value.

KINGS In TRoUBLE.-Throughout the
history of Europe there never existed SIM
liar examples ofso many sovereigns threat
ening to resign their thrones as at the pres
ent moment. The Autocrat of Russia
stands highest in political Importance
He is said to be suffering great mental anx-
ietv from some unexplained cause; and.
having provided the means of supporting
himself literally during life, by consldera-
Bile investments in the English and French
funds, under color of great financial op-
Grafton, he intends, it is said, to retire to
Italy, and there pass tbs remainder of his
DAYS. The King of the Belgians seems to
be equally afflicted. He has returned to
the Palace Lecken at Brussels, from Paris,
in such mentally debiitated state that
he is unequal to the cares of government,
and all parties seem to be at loss to con-
ceive what will be the upshot. Turning to
Spain, the last accounts from Madrid state
that the Queen has expressed to her Min
sters her resolute intention to abdlcate
he throne, and it was reported that spe- |
.ial council was summoned TO deliberate |
lpon the subject. The unhappy marriage
If the Queen of Spain, brought about by
French intrigue, is doubtless the cause OF
Ter Majesty's disgust of the present posi-
ion; but her youth, and still more her
'oIitical importance in the preservation OF
he balance of European politics, preclude
he thought Of any such serious change Of
ynasty in Spain. With those singular
nd unprecedented events hanging over
he fate of Europe, it is great happiness
D mankind that the general tendency of
Official opinions is TO maintain peace.

THE LAST JOURNEY.

THE LAST JOURNEY.
These verses describe beautiful and touching
custom practised at funerals in some part of Ger
many.
Mournful, with measured tread.
Onward we bear the dead
To his last home.
Short grows the solemn road =
Here with your mortal load,
Oh grave! we come!
Yet yet-ahi hasten not
Past each remembered spot
Where he has been;
Where late he walked so fee,
There from henceforth to be
Never more seen.
Yet, yet-ah! slowly move
Bear not the form we love
Fast from our sight
Let the air breathe on him
And the sun beam on him
Last looks of light.
Rest ve-set down the bier,
Those he lov'd now gather hear,
Let the dead lie
A moment that door beside,
Won't to fly open wide
When he drew nigh.
Eplt your load again;
Take up the mourning strain;
Pour the deep wall
LO! the expected one
To his p ace aseth on
Grave! bid him hail
Now, his last labor's done;
Now, now the goal is won;
Oh grave! We come.
Seal up this precious DUST
Jesys in Thee ne trust,
Take the soul homel
