FRANKLIN AND HIS MOTHER.

It was an idea Of DIR. Franklins if not
settled opinion, that a mother might, by
kind of instinct of natural effection, recog-
nize her children, even though she had
lost the recollection of their features. And
ON visit to his native town of Boston, he
determined to ascertain by experiment
whether his theory was correct or not.
On bleak and chilly day in the month
of January, the doctor, late in the after
noon, knocked at the door of his mothers
house, and asked to speak with Mrs Frank
lin. He found the old lady knitting before
the parlor fire. He introduced himself,
and observing that he understood she en-
tertained travellers, requested lodgings for
the night.
She eyed him with that cold look of dis
appreciation which most people assume who
imagine themselves insulted by being sup
posed to exercise an employment which
they deem degree below their real occu-
spation in life. She assured him he had
been misinformed-sh did not keep tav-
ern, 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 session; that she had
four members of the Council and six of the
House of Representatives, who then board
ed with her and that all her beds were full
Having said this, she resumed her knit
ting with that intense application which
said, as forcibly as she could, if you have
concluded your business, the sooner you
leave the better. But ON the docter wrap
ping his cloak about him, affecting to SHY
er, and observing that the weather was
very cold, she pointed to chair, and gave
him leave to warm himself.
The entrance of the boarders prevented
allfurther conversation. Coffee was served
and he partook with the family. To the
coffee, according to the good old custom of
the times, succeeded a plate of pippins
pies, and paper of tobacco, when the
whole company formed cheerful semi
circle before the fire.
Perhaps no man ever possessed colo
-qnial powers in a more fascinating degree
than Or. Franklin, and never was there an
occasion on which he displayed 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 siricking
lights in which he placed his subjects and
delighted them with apt illustration and
amusing anecdotes.
Thus employed the hours passed merrily
along until supper was announced. Mrs.
Franklin, busted with her household affairs,
supposed the intruding stranger had left
the house Immediately after coffee, and it
was with dislike she saw him seat himself
at the table with the freedom of a member
of the family.
Immediately after supper she called an
elderly gentleman, member of the Coun-
Gil in whom she was accustomed to conide,

My Dear Sr:-
Moses is the oldest historian of whom we
have any knowledge; and the Holy Bible is
the Oldest, as well as the aoisest and best book
IN the Oorld. Moses wrote the Pentateuch
about l450 years before the Christian era
This great and divinely inspired work was
written more than thousand years before
Heroditus-"t the father of History"
sed his story and more than, five hundred
years before Homer and Hesiod (the oldest
Greek poets) fourished. Between Moses and
Heroditus, a period of thousand years there
cord-and except such as are supposed to be
derived from Egyptian hieroglyphics and
ancient monuments and Inscriptions, which
are, necessarily, of local character. These
last are altogether insufficient to give us any
correct knowledge of the early settlements of
the sons of Noah. And they offer no credible
history of the creation of a man, or of the
genealogies of the ante and past-deluvian
Patriarchs, and founders of peoples and king
dems.
A correct genealogy of portion of the hui
man family up to; and subsequent to the time
of Moses, was, in the order of Gods Provi-
dence, necessary, to show the exact fulfllment
of prophecy; and to point out plainly, the
channels through which flowed knowledge
of the early history of man, the conservators
of the true religion; and that line from which
Sin the fulness of time"-was born our
blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Moses of all men of his age, or of any man
who has succeeded him, was the best qualified
to write a correct history of the creation, and
of man and to give us authentic genealogies
of the early founders of our race. "Moses
was learned in all the wisdom of the Egypt
ians." lie was a man of consummate power,
skill, and ability as an author-Prose and
Poetic. Longinus, the great Greek critic, in
his work 'on the sublime" quotes passage
from Genesis, as exhibiting fine specimen
! of the sublime" And God said let there be

TOMORROW.

Whate'er the grief that dims the eye,
Whate'er the cause of sorrow,
We turn us to the weeping sky,
And say Wen smile tomorrow"
And when from those we love we part,
From hope we comfort borrow,
And whisper to our aching heart,
Wen meet again tomorrow.
But when tomorrow comes, It's still
An image of to-day,
Still tears our heavy eyelids fill,
Still mourn we those away.
And when that morrow, too, is past
"a yesterday of sorrow)-
Hope, smiling, cheats us to the last,
With visions of tomorrow

LOVE AND SPRING.

Love in rose asleep was lying,
The voice Of spring to her was crying
She woke and rubbed her eyes awhile,
From out the rose popped with smile,
But thought it must too early be,
And sleep again. from passion free.
ButIiove no quiet rest could take
Spring, every mourn, kissed her awake,
And her caressed with winning art,
Until she opened her virgin heart, >.
And all her wakened scenes thrilled
With yearnings but by Autumn stilled.

THEY ARE WAITING FOR US
THERE"
BY EMMA.


Though we're ealgod to part with dear ones,
Though the grave our loved ones gains,
Though by death we're far from near ones,
Yet hope for us remains;
Though on earth no more will greet them,
In that land were all is fair,
By-and-by again we'll meet them
"They are waiting for US there"
HOPES and fears alternate tarry,.
While we sadly mediate,
On the loss of our beloved ones,
Though we first anticipate
Meier again our lost ones meeting.
We are cheered, and happy are,
When does come this sweet assurance
HThey are waiting for us there"
Gone before, and for US waiting
On that bright and happy shore,
We who're sad and filled, with mourning,
Need be sad and mourn no more;
For, in yen bright land of pleasure,
There where partings never are,
Wen regain. each long-lost treasure
"They are waiting for us there"
Now We lonely, sad, and pressed ones,
Press on, this will sooth your pain
You.il.soon Join your beloved missed ones,
In a land that's free from pain.
Though our very tie is sundered,
We can all out sorrow bear, 9
When that Welcome truth is remembered--
.:They are waiting for us there"
On the banks of yon bright river.
Where the waters sweetly play,
Where celestial choirs are ever
Singing praises night and day;
There, where golden harps are ringing,
Where unriveled glories are,
Where angels are ever singing
"They are waiting for us there"
Oft me thinks I hear them calling,
"0nward," let us hasten on;
"0nwardl" !" soon wen end our toiling,
Night-will sooncgivs place to morn.
Soon we'll reach the golden city,
Soon well bic, ,adieu to care,
Soon we'll reach the long-sought heaven

several years. The houses were hslf-buried
