DEATH OF DR. FRANKLIN.

 Friends and mighty good sort of body she was too The great people set heap O store by her, for she was famous throughout the town for nursing and tending on the s.ck indeed, many of them, believe, thought they ''ould not sicken and die right if they did no, have old Sarah with them. Soon as she Saw me, She said, Well, David, how dust ?' l 0, much after the old sort, Sarah" said l, tbut that's neither here nor there-I came to >eeD Dr. Franklin."
 s" Well, ,he"," said slle, " thou art too late,
 for he is just dend 7 | Alack day." said I, then d great man 1 is gone."
 Yes, indeed" said she, "a,,d good one too; for it seemed as though he never 1 thought the day went away as it ought, if he had not done somebody service. However, David, he is none the worse off for that now, where he has gone to but come, as thee cam to see Benjamin Franklin, thee shall see hun yet" And she took me into his room. As we entered, she pointed to him as he lay on his bed, and said, "There did thee ever See any tHiiiS lOOh so natural z!
 And he did look natural indeed. His eyes were closed-but that you saw he did not breathe, you would have thought he was in d sweet sleep, he looked so calm and happy Observing that his face was fixed right to- wards the chimney, l cast my eyes that way, and behold just above the mantei piece was noble picture! 0, it was the picture of our Saviour on the cross
 l could not help calling out. "Bless us all, Sarah what is all this ?"
 What dost thou mean, David ?" said she quite crusty.
 Why, how came this picture here, Sa- rah," said l, "you know that mauy people think he Was not after this sort"
 "Yes," said she, know that too But thee knows that many who make grat fuss a'out religion have very little. while soue who Say little abont 1t have great deal"
 |" That's sometimes the case, fear, Sarah" sad I.
 Well, and that was the case" said she with Benjamin Franklin. But be this as 1t may, Davd, since thee asks ne about this pie turt, l tell thee how 1t came here. Many weeks ago, as he lay, he bcckone,i me to hlnl, ;saal 1o.4 lAe al Ills p.ciure up stalr ald beg Aye, Sarah, there's picture worth looking at That's the picture of him wbo came into the world to teach us to love one another ? Then after 10, king wiSttully at it for some time, he said Sarah, set this picture up over tine mantle piece right before me as he j; for like to look at it, When had fixed it up, he locked at it very much, and, indeed, as thee sees, he died with his eyes fixed upon it !'

KING CHARLES THE SIMPLE AND HIS Fool.
This good fellows influence was so
great, that Charles, King of France, once
remarked to him, he thought they had
better change places. AS Jean did tot
look we'll pleased at the proposal, Charles
asked him if he were not content at the
idea of being king.
"oh content enough was the reply;
" but l should be exceedingly ashamed
at Aorsng such Il fool"
1t was this fool that once tried his
masters nerves, by rushing into his room
one morning with the exclamation Of
"Oh sire, such news! Four thousand
men have risen in the city !"
"What, cried the startled king; with
what intention have they risen?"
=" well" said Jean, placing his finger
upon his nose, probably with the in
tentlon oflying down again at bed time.r

New ENGINE OF WARFARE.-The con-
struction of a certain kind of gun under
the personal surveillance of the Emperor
has been much talked of amongst the
officers of the army. So important was
the observance of secrecy considered bv
the Emperor, that double wages were
given to those workmen employed in
the construction of the gun as an induce
ment to submit to the hard condition of
remaining within the walls of the foun-
dry until it was entirely completed, no
matter how long it would take to per-
feet it. The other day the weapon was
announced as ready for trial, and the
Emperor convoked about forty officers
of all ranks to the ceremony. The thick
est and strongest specimen of stone de-
fence amongst those at Vincennes for
essaying the power of the guns, was
chosen by the Emperor to test the
strength of the new invention. It sue
ceeded perfectly. No sooner was the
gun drawn forth-a small contriyance
dragged to the field by single man
than the word to fire being given, the
whole of the heavy wall, stone, bricks,
cement and all, disappeared from before
the eye as if by magic, and crumbled
into dust IN moment. The delight ex-
pressed By his majesty was of course
re-echoed by the officers, and the, more
heartily no doubt, were they conveyed
when it became known that the inven-
ton is English brought from England
by an Englishman, and only offered to
his Imperial Majesty after having been
refused for two years by the govern
ment authorities in London. The covert
allusiors to new element Of strength
lately acquired by the French in case of
war, which is so often mentioned in the
Paris papers Of late, refer to this inven-
ton.

GOVERNMENT AND THE EUROPEAN MAIL

GOVERNMENT AND THE EUROPEAN NAIL
SrEAAERs.-The Washington correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Sun says:
On the first Of June the only remain
ing ocean mail steamer contract-that
for the Havre line-will expire. The
administration is opposed to the revival
of the system; especially in the present
condition ofthe treasury and the revenue,
and Congress is apparently Indifferent
to the subject. Public opinion looks for
NO partial legislation for the employ
ment of ocean mail steamers, but requires
the establishment of general or eff
clent, economical and impartial system,
adapted to the commercial necessity and
the various sectional interests Of the
country. The present is no time for the
adoption of such system, but, at
subsequent session it will no doubt be
demanded by the voice Of the country.
