MATERNAL INFLUENCE.


Gov. Briggs, 10 lecture on Popular Ed

lowing impressive incident:
remember, twelve or fifteen years ago,

ring the spring: while al home, for tho
first time, possessed my self Of the letters Of
Mr. Adams mother, and read them with
exceeding great interest. remember IN
expression in one OF tho letters addressed
TO her son, while yet boy Of twelve years

'Mr. Adams have found out who made
You.

! said, 4 have been reading the letters Of
vour mo,hery If had named that dear
name TO some 'itile boy, who h,d been for
weeks away from, his dear mother, his eye
could not have flashed more brightly, or his
face glowed more quickly, than the eye
and face of that venerable old man when
pronounced the name of his mother. He
started up, and in his peculiar manner, EN-
phatically said,
