writer in the National Intcliigencer
argues against the theory Of DR..
Franklin US follows:
Children Of very young parents
are generally deficient in strength, of
body and mind, and commonly die
young. Franklin was the fifteenth
child of his father, and the eighth Of
lis mother; and more still, lie was

from whom, more than his father, he
Inherited his eminent talents.
Pit, Fox, and Burke were caui,
theyouugest child oftheir respective
families. Daniel Webster is the
youngest, by a second marriage; so
also was Lord Bacon, whose father
was fifty, and his mother tl.irty-two
years of age at his birth. Judge
Story's mother was forty four at lis
birth; Benjamin West was tie ienM
enid OF his parents; and DR.. bod
bridge was the iceRiieM child by one
father and mot'.er. 1t is a proycrb
that the Youngest children are the

why not bring inIeqUis,ion as much

his lot soon after to preach another
