His Mothers Touch.

DR.. Franklin denied the existence of
such sense as parental or ilial instinct
He based his conclusion of his own ex-
perience-at the time he visited his
mother, after years of absence, and the
old lady did not recognize him, though
at the intercession of her gentlemen
dodgers with whom hel spent the even
ing, the stranger stayed all night.
Belief in such an instinct is, however,
pleasant one, and the evidence at
least probable. Frank Moore relates
this affecting instance Of a, dying sons
recognition of his mother:
In one of the fierce engagements near
Mechanicsville, young Lieutenant of
a Rhode Island battery had his right
foot so shattered by a fragment of shell,
that on reaching Washington, after one
of those horrible ambulance rides and
journey of weeks duration, he was
obliged to undergo amputation of the
leg. He telegraphed home, hundreds
of miles away, that all was going we'll,
and with a soldiers fortitude, composed
himself to bear his suferings alone.
Unknown to him, however, his mother
who had read the report of his wound,
was Fastening to see him. She reached
Washington about midnight, and the
nurses would have kept her from seeing
her son until morning.
One sat by his side tanning him, as
he slept, her hand on the feeble, fuctu-
ating pulse. But what woman's heart
could resist the pleadings of mother
then? In the darkness she was finally
allowed to glide in and take the place
at his side.
She touched his pulse as the nurse
had done. Not word had been spoken;
but the sleeping boy opened his eyes and
said:
THAT feels like my mothers hand
who is this beside me 1t is my mother.
Turn up the gas and let me see mother
The two dear faces met in one long,
Joyous, sobbing embrace.
The gallant fellow just twenty-one
had his leg amputated on the last day
Of his three years service, underwent
operation after operation, and at last
when death drew nigh, resigned him.
