England rs. Francc.-Thc Lcndon
correspondent of The World is inclined
to think that the British Government is
unnecessarily frightenodb by the demon
STATIONS and preparations of. Franco.
He says:
The invasion panic is strong upon
us and Lord Palmcrston, in a siugu-
larly injudicious speech, has asked for
two millions, to be expended during the
ensuing year ON the fertilization Of our
arsenals and dock yards-part of a sum
Of nine millions, which is to be raised in
three or four years by means of tcrini-
nabIc annuitics extending over period
of thirty years. We are already taxed
to the extent of seventy millions year,
Of which by far the larger part is ex
pended on 'armaments and on the inter
est of our enormous national debt, con-
tracted III the prosecution of many UNI
necessary wars, including, among the
chief items, the war which terminated
in the recognition Of a certain, Lssclara-
ton Of Independence. We are now
after having voted twcnty-nine millions
for the army and navy for the year,
and further sum of nearly four mil
lions for the Chinese war-calIcd upon
for the first instalment Of nine millions,
fn order to ward off a. danger which is
~ the highest dsgsee ifhprobable.

Responsibility Of Parents-There lives
in certain city man who is a pro-
minent church member - his sons
drunkards, and visitors of dens whose
names we will not mention. How came
this state of affairs Years ago we
happened to be at the gentteman's
house, and while there, the father and
older sons had an alteration about
theatres and theatre-g going. "You
never taught us anything by your cx-
ample" said one, against the sins of
which you complain. You take no re-
ligious periodicals or newspapers, and
never have. You have always had
newspapers about the house full of puffs
of theatres, grog-shops, saloons, and all
other places of amusement and never
heard you say one word against those
puffs, and you needn't blame us now if
we want to enjoy ourselves little"
There was pungency in the young mans
remark, and the pungency startled us
more than the disrespectful tone in.
dulged by him. We ask you, owing
parents, to take some family paper or
periodical. Your boy then will have
something to read; that girl, too, will
have something to Interest and instruct ;
and if you fail to meet the wants of
either, then look out for roprisals in
coming years, that. viii make your
ears tingle and your hearts throb in
agony. In a measure you can guide
child Alright. Youcan provide him with
untainted intellectual food. You can
shuttle door against intrudcrs that will
work ruin if once admitted, and ueav-
en- will hold you accountable for the
way in which you do your work.
Startling developments will be wit
messed in the day of judgment and
one of tho most startling will be the
sight of the father who has murdered
his child-lhrdercd him by refusing
to furnish him with such appliances as,
under God, would have led to glory
and mortality in heaven, rather than
down to remorse and anguish in endless
ruin.

Romance in Real Lite.-The New
York Daily News has the following:
Seven years ago, a bright, intelligent,
good looking boy, shout ten years old,
the son of Mr.. Harry Eytingf, who
will, no doubt, be remembered as an ac1
tor of considerable abilifysxah away
from his fathers home, III this city, tax.
ing with him $40, which the boyyghad
saved and placed in one Of our numer-
GUS savings banks.
The father made diligent search, and
used every effort to get information Of
the whereabouts Of his son he knew
that young Harry was erratic, but, after
using every means, and not finding him,
concluded that he had gone toefe
Years rolled on, however, and no tiisiiigs
came; the father at last reluctantl and
sorrowfully gave up all hope of ever
seeing his boy again, and mourned him
as dead.
-. Last week, Mrs Barney Williams, who
is living at his country seat at Bath,
Long Island, observed young man in
that village, who seemed to have bust
ness there, and who SO much resembled
his friend Harry p ytinge, in looks, man
ners, and voice, that he at once made up
his mind to acquaint Mr.. E. of the facts.
FThe father Immediately repaired to the
hotel at the place mentioned, where he
was overwhelmingly astonished by be-
holding his own son behind the desk in
the office.
Upon inquiry, the young man stated
that he was not particularly pleased
with the manner in which his stepmother
was conducting things at home, so, TAX
ing with him his own money, he in the
first place purchased a gun, and went
over near Bellville, N. j., and there in
dulged ia his youthful propensity for
gaming by shooting small birds, at the
same time using mother earth for his
lodging place, and such protection as
the trees in the woods afforded for a
covering. Getting tired of this he
engaged himself to a farmer, and tried
that spell; being of a rowing aispo-
sition, he shipped on board Il vessekand
went to Havana. ~;
Eromhere he went to different chimes,
and engaged in different occupations,
bringing up, as we have stated, at the
Bath Hotel, in the capacity of second
bcok-keeper. masmuch as his father
WAS in the habit OF travelling a great
deal, young Eytinge did not know OK
actly where to apply to learn his where
abouts, but stated that he intended
shortly to make an effort in that direc-
ton. Thus parent and child are hap
PLY joined again, after seven years of
estrangcnent and anguish.

LETTER FROM Ex-pREsIDENT PIERCE.


A letter from Ex-President Pierce, dated Low
oll Mass, Nov. 26th, has found its way into print.

II is worse than idle-it is foolhardy--to dis
the question of probable relative suffering and
loss in different sections of the Union. In case OF
disruption, we shall all bo involved in common
financial embarrassment and ruin aud, | fear, in
common destruction, so much more appalling than
any attendant upon mere sacrifice Of property, that
one involuntarily turns even from its cOntempla-
tion. To my mind one thing is clear-no wise man
can, under existing circumstances, dream Of coer-
con. The FIRST blow struck In that direction will
be blow fatal even TO hope.
You have observed Of course how seriously
commercial confidence, and consequently the price
Of stocks, &C., nave already been shaken at the
North, and yet there is in tho public mind very
imperfect apprehension of the real DANGER Still
there are Indications OF adispostion TO repeal laws

ROCK ME no SLEEP.

Backward, turn backward, oh, Time in your nigh
Make me child again, just for tonight
Mother, come back from the echoless ehore,
Take me again 10 your heart as of yore--
kiss from my forehead the furrows Of care,
Smoothe the few silver threads out of my hair
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep
Rock me to sleep, mother--rock me TO sleep
Backward, flow backward, oh, tide Of ycsrsl

Toll without recompense-tears all in vain
Take them, aud give me my childhood again
have grown weary Of dust and decay,
Weary Of flinging my sou-wesiih away
Weary Of sowing for Others TO reap;
Rock the TO sleep, mother-rock me to sleepl
Tired of the hollow, the base the untrue;
Mother, oh, mother, my heart calls for you
Many summer the grass has grown green,
Blossomed and faded our faces between
Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain
Long tonight for your presence again!
Come from the silence, so long and SO deep
Rock me TO sleep, mother--rock me to sleepl
Over my heart, in days that ore flown,
No love like mother-love ever has shown
No other worship abdes and endures,
Faithful, unsel6sh, and patient, like yours.
None like mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul and world-weary brain;
Slnmbers soft calm Der my heavy lids creep
Rock me TO sleep, mother--rock me to sleepl
Come, let your brown hair just lighted with gold,
Fall on your shoulders again as of old
Let 1t fall over my forehead tonight,
Shading my faint eyes away from the light
For with its sunny-edged shadows, once more
Haply will throng the sweet visions of yore;
Lovingly, softly, its bright bows sweep
Rock me TO Sleep mother-rock me to sleepi
Mother, dear mother the years have been long
Since last hushed to your lullaby song
Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall seem
Womanhoods wears have been but dreaun
Clasp to your arms in a loving embrace,
With your light lashes just sweeping my face;
Never hereafter to wake or to weep
Rock lie 10 sleep, mother-rock me to sleepl
