THE GRAVE OF FRANKLIN.

[Grace Greenwood, in her letters to the Satur-
day Post, on City Sights and Thoughts" in Phil
~adelphia, writes thus Of the grave Of Franklin ::
Nothing has given me so much pleasure since
my return, as a sight | saw yesterday. Walking
down Arch street, | came to the old Christ Church
burying ground, in one corner Of which is the
grave of franklin. The yard is surrounded by
a thick, high, u~nsightly brick wall, which hith
er.o has utterly excluded all view of the grave.
The gate is always locked, and nobody therea-
bouts seems to know who the sexton is, or where
be is to he found. l made SO many fruitless
efforts a year or two ago, to strike his trail, that
| at last, in my despair, came to Sairey Camps
conclusion, that there wasn't "no sech person.
that no officer of the kind being needed in the old
fashioned and disused place of sepulture. the last
corner--had gathered himself in" and left no
successor.
But the welcome sight which met my eyes this
day, was an open iron fence, taking the place of
the solid, sullen old wall. for q space Just opposite
the republican philosophers grave. For the first
time, | looked down upon that simple, yet majes-
tic resting place. A plain slab, once white mar
bic, but now turned almost black, q type of Ma
lures mourning for the great, ever deepening
with the years--alone marks the spot-bearing
only this simple Inscription
"Benjamin and Deborah Franklin 1890"
I do no. plume myself especially en- my pat
riotism nor am /, l think, a blind hero worship
er. yet | am always powerfully affected beside the
graves of the great. The mere thought of their
still. lifeless dust, hidden away in darkness un.
der my feet, moves me more than their passionate
words. their immortal thoughts. From the lowly
mound. from the bosom of death, arises G vision,
a TRANSPORTATION of the vanished life, which pos
sesses all my soul. Its beauty exalts and trans
ports me its hopes thrill me; it's fears and cares
depress me it's struggle and toll work in my
brain its sorrow swells seH-ike, with grand,
vague moaning, upon my spirit its passion
storms through my heart. The scenes, the e1ents,
the loves. the hates, the antagnnism and compan-
,~ionsbip Of that life come back again--the dead
pas, ~revi'cs and gives up its dead. Byron. the
proud. the splendid, the yoluptious never wholly
subjugated my spirit but the lonely and melan-
choly genius which met me beside the gloomy
family vault in the wretched little church # luck
nall, utterly mastered my sympathies, and re-
eeived the free and bounteous tribute Of my tears.
The Milton in Cripplegase Church was grander to
ae than the Milton in Paradise. in Heaven, OF
Hell-and the dust of Sheliey's heart, buried in
Rome, moved my heart to more passionate pulsa-
.tions than had ever the sorrow of the 'Adonais,
or the tragedy Of the "Cenci."
Benjamin franklin. I know, was nc poet, no
~supernal genius, yet it was with emotions
nearly akin to those ! had felt at the great pill
grim shrinss" Of other lands, that ] found my.

BE TRUTHFUL ALWAYS.

This little story, copied from an exchange paper,
is excellent. Read it, boys, and take its lessons
we'll to heart:
Tive country lads came at an early hour to n
market town, and arranging their little stands,
sat down to wait for customers. One was furnish
ed with fruits and vegetables of the boys own raj
sing, and tho other supplied with clans and fish.
The market hours passed along, and each little
merchant saw with pleasure his store steadily de-
creasing, and an equivalent in silver bits shining
in his little money cup. The last melon lay on
%lIarry's stand, when q gentleman came BY. and
placing his hand upon it, said :-"What a fine
large melon; | think must have this for my din

THE melon is the last | have, sir; and though
it looks very fair there is an unsound spot on the
other side" said the boy, turning it over.

boy, modestly.

Yes. sir, fresh this morning. l caught them

made, the gentleman went away.
Harry, what a fool you was to show the gentle
man shat spot on the melon. Now, you can take
it home for your pains, or throw it away. How
much wiser is he about those CLAIMS | caught YES

And SO it proved, for the next day the gentleman
bought nearly all his fruit and vegetables of Har-
ry, but never invested another penny az the stand
of his n%eightor. Thus the season passed: the
gentleman finding he could always get a good ar
ticle Of Harry, continually patronized him. and
sometimes talked with him a few minutes abou,
his future hopes and prospects. To become a
merchant was his great ambition, and when the
winter came on. the gentleman wanting a trustv
boy for his store, decided on giving the place to
! Harry. Steadily and surely he advanced in the
confidence of his employer, until having passed
. through various gradations Of clerkship, he became
' at length an honored partner in the firm.

the crocus could not Tor a moment stand against the
fury Of the storm. The first blast that assailcd it
snapped it of, aud lie bruised aud faded petals
we're blown hither and thither. The daisy aud
snowdrop ben; almost to the ground, and the wind
passing over their heads, left them unframed.
Il see, l see," snid the snowdrop, chow I'M
grateful and re pining | have been, when | ought
to have been thankful that my stem was plant and
bending" Aud "the little daisy looked up with
its yellow eyes," brighter aud more cheerful than
ever, and thankful that storms which would de-
stroy gayer and more snowy flowers, would pass
over the head Of one so humble and Insignificant.
"Stll." murmured the snowdrop, II do not see

to be of no use to any one" But there was a
work for the ~snowdrop to do every one has his
task allotted to HIM, none can say they are toe
mean and insignificant to be of any use, and to DO
good or that their life is in vain. Their actions
may seem like drops to the ocean. but though pas
sed by and unnoticed by all around them, 'the
hairs of their head are all numbered by Him with
out whose knowledge not a sparrow can fall to the
gtound." A day passed, and the snowdrop was
growing no longer in the garden "uncared for and
unseen" 1t had been woven with others into a
wreath for an infants grave. And the mother
dried her tears on seeing them, saying, "rhose
sweet flowers remind me Of my baby's innocence"
Had the snowdrop lived in vain Oh no it's
