that the patience of Mrs. Franklin be-
came entirely exhausted. She now en-
tered the room and addressed the Doc
tor before the whole company, with a
warmth glowing with determination to
be her own protectress. She told him
plainly that she thought herself imposed
on, but that she had friends who would
defend her, and insisted that he should
immediately leave the house.
The Doctorm made 8. slight apology and
deliberately put on his great coat and
hat, took polite leave of the company.

BY the mistress and lighted by the maid.
While the Doctor and his companions
had been enjoying themselves within, a
most tremendous storm of wind and
rain had occurred without, and no sooner
had the maid lifted the latch than roar

exiinguished the light, and almost filed
the entry with drifted snow and hail
As soon as the candle was re-lighted,
the Doctor cast woful look towards the
door. and thus addressed his mother:
My dear madam, can you turn me
out IN this storm? 1 am a stranger in
this town, and viii perish in the street.
You look like charitable lady-I should
not think you could turn dog from your
house this cold and stormy night"
Don't talk of charity" replied his
mother; ''chsrity begins at home. 1t
is your own fault, not mine, that you
have tarried SO long. To be plain with
you, sir, l do not ike either your looks
or your conduct, and fear you have some
bad design in thus intruding yourself
into my family.

WALKING on RED-HoT IRoN.-A lee
ture recently delivered in London by
Professor Pepper. of Polytechnic Insti-
tute. before large audience of mechan-
les, in which he remarked that the set
ting of the Thames on fire was no lon
ger joke. but reality. BY dashing a
small bottle Of sulphuric ether with a
few particles of metal potassium into a
fat cistern a bright fame was produced,
which illuminated the whole space. He
laid down four plates of red-hot iron up
on four bricks, and one Of his atten-
dants walked over them barefoot with
out injury. BY wetiing his finger in
ammonia the Professor dipped them into
a crucible Of melted had. and let the
metal run off into the shape OF bullets
into a shallow cistern OF water.

fore the FIRE.
Perhaps no man ever possessed col
loquial powers in more fascinating de-
gree than Doctor Franklin, and never
was there an occasion on which he dis
played them to better advantage than
the present one. He drew the attention
of the company by the solidity of his
modest remarks, instructing them by the
varied new and striking lights in which
he placed his subjects, and delighted
them with apt illustrations and amusing
anecdotes.
Thus employed, the hours passed mer-
rily along until supper was announced.
Mrs. Franklin, busted with her household
affairs. supposed the intruding stranger
had left the house Immediately after
coffee, and il was with difficulty she saw
him seat himself at the table with the
freedom of the member of family.
Immediately after supper, she called
an elderly gentleman, a member of the
Council, in whom She was accustomed
to confde, to another room, complained
bitterly Of the rudeness of the stranger,
told the manner of his introduction TO
her house, observed that be seemed like
an outlandish sort of q man. She
thought he had something very suspi-
cious in his appearance, and she con-
cluded by asking her friends advice as
to the way in which she could most ea-

old gentleman assured her that the stran-
ger was surely young man of good
education, and, to all appearances, agen-

the lateness of the hour. He advised
her to call the stranger aside and repeat
her inability to lodge him. She accord

as much complacency IS she could com

her family, observed that it grew late,
and mildly intimaied that he would do
well to seek lodgings.
The Doctor replied that he would by
no means incommode her family, but

pipe with her r.sboarders, and then retire.
He returned to the company, filed

DR. FRANKLIN AND HIs NOTICE,

It was an idea of DR.. FrankIin's, II not
a settled opinion, that mother might
by kind of instinct Of natural affec.
ton, recognize her children. even though
she had lost the recollection cf their fea-
lures. And On visit to his native town
of Boston. after an absence of many
years, he determined to ascertain by ex-
pertinent whether his theory was cor.
rect or not.
e On a bleak and chilly day in the
month of February, the Doctor, late in
the afternoon, knocked on the door of
his mothers house, and asked to speak
with Mrs. Franklin. He fund the old
lady knitting before the parlor FIRE. He
introduced himself, and observing that
he understood she entertained travellers,
requested lodgings for the night.
She eyed him with that cold look of
dissPProbation which most people assume
who imagine themselves insulted by be-
ing supposed to exercise an employment
which they deem degree below their
real occupation in life She assured him
he had been misinformed-she did not
keep tavern, nor did she keep house
to entertain strangers. 1t was true, she
added, that to oblige some members of
the Legislature, she took small number
Of them into her family during the ses-
sion; that she had four members of the
Council and six of the House of Rep
resentatives, who ihen boarded with her,
and that all her beds were full.
- Having said this she resumed her knit
ting with that intense application which
said. as 6orcibly an action could, if you
have concluded your business, the sooner
you leave the house the better. But on

him, affecting to shiver, and observing
that the weather was very cold. she paint

himself.
The entrance of bOarders prevented

the family. To the coffee, according to
the good old custom of the times, sue

their children have not the gift. We
shall probably og on and when the
work is done. and every omen and saga
eious prediction comes to pass, then we
shall wonder, and repent, and build the
sepulchres of the men that We now exc
crate.
The facility with which the aroused
Indignation of the whole North has been
extinguished by the miserable per6dy of
the so-called American party, is morti-
flying, and sorrowfully prophetic. By
years of persistent labor, the conscience
and honor of multiIudes of the North had
been aroused. They began to see and
value the real principles fundamental to
American institutions. Under the shall
low pretense that Know-Nothing lodges
would, by-and-by become the champions
of liberty, as now they are of the Prot
estant faith, thousands have been in
weighed into these catacombs of freedom.
One might as well study optics in the
pyramids of Egypt, or the subtsrranean
tombs of Rome, as liberty in secret con-
claves controlled by hoary knaves versed
in polite al intrigue, who can hardly
enough express their surprise and delight
to find honest men going into wide
spread system of secret caucuses.-
Honest men in such places have the Pc
culiar advantage that flies have in spi-
der's web-the privilege of losing their
legs, of buzzing without flying, and of
being eaten up at leisure by big bellied
spiders /!
We are heartily agreed with the orig
inal movers of the Know Nothing enter
prise, that the foreign population require
special attention. Their naturalization
should be after a longer probation the
offices, State and Municipal, should not
be filed up with hungry foreigners; the
American language should be the only
one in which public documents should be
printed; and every means should be
employed to break up distinctly foreign
organizations in our midst, and to pro-
mote a speedy absorption and digestion
of the whole foreign clement. But while
these ends command our approval, we
disapprove of a method of accomplishing
them which is at variance with the whole
spirit Of our institutions, and which ena-
bles crafty politicians to turn the organi-
zation into tool for purposes of private
ambition, and of Southern domination.
Already the enthusiasm of the North
burns like a fame-a mephitic gas.
Strong men are weak. They that were
wise of speech are dumb; and many a
Sampson has risen from the lap of his
Delilah, shorn and weak. 1t only remains
that they should carry out Simpsons
history, grind awhile in eyeless solitude,
and they viii be ready 10 free themselves,
and destroy their foes. by bowing them
selves upon the very pillars on which
our temple of liberty stands. and gain
their release amid the ruins of the Unionl
When will men understand that simple,
open integrity, an unAiuching adhesion
to Principle, is the peculiar advantage of
Truth and Liberty? all that the Right
asks is air, light, an open enemy, and
room to strike. 1t is Wrong that sneaks
in the dark, and gains by the stiletto.
