ASEcDoTE OF THE LATE King OF Bavaria.
The ex-king Louis, Of Bavaria, who recently
attained his SEVENTEEN year, was few days ago
waited on at his chateau at Ludwigshuhe, in
tic Palatina;o, by deputalion from Sirasbourg,
in which place he was born, who paid their re-
spects tn him on the occasion, The king re-
ceived them most kindly, promised to visit their
city, and related to them a curious crcum-
stance: "At tho time of his birth, in August,
1856, his father, who was then only Prince des
Deux Points, commanded the Alsace regiment
in the service of France, which was in the gar
rson at Slrasbonre. A few days after the
birth of his child, he was astonished to see tia,
all his grenadiers had cut Off their boards and
moustaches. On inquiring why they had done
so, one of the men stepped forward aud said
that they had determined to beg his acceptance
of velvet malress for the newly born prince
and that they had stuffed il with their boards
and moustaches Il have the mattress still,
said the king, and will show ito YOU = The
mattress was produced, and the king addel :
Il do not think that there is in the world a bed
which can be called more strictly military than
that ="

SUMMER AND WINTER.

Ali those were very pleasant days,
The days VIC spent together,
Come back through memory's gollcn haze,
On oloudlcss summer weather!
That may deem I've saved at least
Some fragments from liie's scattered feast.
We wandered past the shallow stream,
And through the new mOwn hays
Each hour was like some glorious dream
From Paradise astray.
The scent Of roses ON the air
Seemed part of life which was 50 iair'
We roamed amid tho thick green wood
Through the cool pleasant trees
And ahl this world seemed very COOL
With all its memories.
| never saw the moon so bright;
As through the boughs that summer night
And now hear the bitter rain
Sweep from the angry heaven,
As blinaly ganst the window pane
The withercd leaves are driven;
Then faint and lorn the moon appears,
All dim, like one who smiles through tclts
That ahostly moons uncertain light
Flung DER the gaunt bare trces-
The starless sorrow Of the night
The wailing Of the breeze;
An me- II was another earth
Where summer rcigued in light and mirih
And love. so pleasant, although brief
Was made for summcr-lays,
Departing ere the falling leaf,
And Autumu's mellow rays;
Nor does it seem so very strange
That we, like all things else, should change
Our dream has vanished as 1t came;
Some hours of care it snatchel,
Perchance we played dangerous game,
But we'll the players matched.
Without reproagh in either heart,
We clasp cold hands, and so VIC part.

[From the Newburyport Herald, Sept PSI
While~ihe name of franklin has been so
prominently before the public of late, in con
necton with the celebration at Boston, ii may
not be uninteresting to give some account ofhis
only son, William, about whom we think little
is known By the community at large Unlike
his father, whose chief claim to veneralion is
for the invaluable services he rendered his coun-
try in her greatest need the son was, (rom first
TO last, devoted loyalist. Before the revou-
iionary war he held several civil and military
Offices ofimportance. Atihe commencement Of
the war he held the Office Of governor OF New
Jersy, which appointment he received in 1868
When the difficulties between the mother country
and the colonies we're coming to a crisis ho
threw his whole influence in favor of loyalty,
and endeayored to prevent the legislative as
sembly Of New Jersey from sanctionna the
proceedings of the General Congress at Phla-
delphia. These efforts, however, did butlirle
to stay the tide of popular sentiment in favor Of
resistance to tyranny, and soon involved him in
difficulty. He was deposed from office by the
wings TO give place to William Livingston, and
sent a prisoner to Connecticut, where he re-
manned about two years in East Windsor, in
the house of Captain Ebenezer Grant, near
where the Theological Seminary now stands
In 1918 he was exchanged, aud soon alter vent
To England. There he spent the remainder Of
life, receiving pension from the British gov
eminent for the losses he had sustained by his
fidelity. He died in 1913, at the age of 50.
As might be expected, his opposition to the
cause of liberty, dear 10 the heart Of his faith
er, produced an esttangement between Them
For years they had no intercourse. When, in
1884, the son wrote to his father, in his reply
DIR Franklin says ''Nothing has ever hurt me
so much, and affected me with such keen sen
sations, as 10 find myself desertnd in my old age
by my only son and not only deserted, bu, to
find him taking up arms against me in cause
wherein my good fame, fortune and life were
all at stake" In his will, also, he alludes to
the part his son had acted. After making him
some requests, he adds 1.-THE part he acted
against me in the late war, which is of public
notoriety, will account for my leaving him no
more Of an estate he endeavoted to deprive me
of The patriotism OF the father stands forth
all the brighter when conlrased with the de-
scrtion of the son.
