Tho'subject of the day’s de bate id tlic House of Representatives was men tioned dy one, of the' members. A’bill had, been introduced to extend the prerogatives of the governbr. Tho Doctor 1 immediately joined irithe discussion, supported the collonial rights with new and forcible arguments, was familiar, with (ho names of, (ho influential men in (fib House when Dudly was governor; recited their, speeches, and applauded their noble defense of the charter of rights. During a discourse so appropriately interest ing to the delighted company, ho wonder tho clock struck eleven unperceivcd by them. - Nor was it a wonder that the patience .of Mi#. Franklin became exhausted. She now entered the room and addrcsscd.the Doctor before,tho whole company, with a warmth glowing with a determenation to.be her. own prolcctorcss.— She told him plainly that she thought herself imposed on, but that she had friends who would defend her, and insisted that she should imme diately leave the house. The Doctor made a slight apology and de lidcratcly put on his great coat and hat, polite leave of the company, and approaches the street door, attended by the mistress and lighted by tho maid. * While tho Doctor and his companions had been enjoying themselves within, a i most tre mendnons storm of wind and rain had oc currcdwithout, and no sooner had tho maid lifted the latch, than a . roaring northeaster forced open the door, extinguishing the light, and almost filled the entry with drifted snow and hail. As soon ns thocandlewas relighted, the Doctor cast a wofuliook at the door, and thus addressed his mother: “My dear madam, can you turn mo out in this storm? lam a stranger tn this town, and will perish in the street. You l6ok like a chari table lady—l should not think you could turn a dog from your house this cold and stormy night.”' “Don’t talk of charity,” replied his mother, “charity begins at homo. Itis your own not mine, that you have tarried so long. To ho plain with j'ou, sir, I do not likeeithcr your looks or your conduct, and fear you have some bad design in thus intruding yourself into my family.” The warmth of this parley had drawn the company from the parlor, and by their united interference the stranger was permitted to lodgein the house; and os no bed could be had, he consented to rest in the easy chair be fore the fire. Tho' the boarders appeared to confide in tho stranger’s honesty, it was not so with Sirs. Franklin. With suspicious caution she col lected her silver spoons; pepper-box and porrin ger from her closet, ami after securing her par lor door by sticking a tho latch, car ried the valuables to her chamber, chorging the negro man to sleep with his clothes on, to-lake the great cleaver to bed with him and to waken and seize Clio vagrant at tho first noise he should make in attempting to plunder. Mrs. Franklin roass Isjforo tho sun, roused her domestics, and was.quite agreeably sur prised to find her terrific guest quietly sleeping 'in'tho chair. She Jtwokc;him with a cheerful good morning: inquired how lie rested, and in vited him to partake of her’ breakfast, which was always served previous to that of her boarders. • “And pray, sir,” said Mrs. Franklin, “as you appear to be a stranger in Boston, to what distant country do you belong?” . . “f belong, madam, to the colony of Penn sylvania und reside in Philadelphia.” At the mention of Philadelphia. the Doctor declared he for the first lime perceived some thing I'ko emotion in her. “Philadelphia,” said she, while (he earnest anxiety of a mother suffused her eye: “why, if you Hvo in Philadelphia, perhaps you know my Ben?” “Who. madam?” “Ben Franklin, my dear Ben—oh. bow I would give the world to see him! He is the dearest son that ever blessed a mother.” “Whnt! is Ben Franklin, the printer, your son? Why he is my most intimate friend.— lie and I work together, and lodge in the same room.” “Oh! heaven, forgive me!” exclaimed the la dy, raising her tearful eyes, “and havolsuf. ferred a friend of my own Ben to sleep upon this chair, while I myself rested upon a soft bed!” Mrs. 1 Franklin then told her unknown guest timt though ho had been absent from her ever since ha was a child, she should not fail to know him among a thousand strange faces: for there was a natural feeling in the breast of cv cry mother, which would enable her, with out the possibility of n mistake, to recognize her son in any disguise bo might assume, Franklin doubted, and took leave to dispute his mother’s propposilion on tho power of nat ural feeling, fie said ho had tried this “natur al feeling .in his own mother, and found it de ficient in tho power sho ascribed it. “And did your mother,” inquired sho, “not know you? or if she did not seem to know you, was there nut, in her kindness to you, an evidence thatsho saw something in ymir appear ance which was dear to her, so that sho could not resist treating you with particular tender ness and afleclum?” “No, indeed,” replied Franklin; sho neither knew me, nor did sho treat me with tho least symptom of kindness. Sho would have turned ■me out of doors hut for tho interposition of strangers. Sho could hardly bo persuaded to allow me to sit at her table. I knew I was in my mother’s house, and had a claim upon her hospitality: and therefore you may suppose when she peremptorily commanded mo to leave the house, t was in no hurry to obey,” “Surely,” interrupted his mother, “sho could not have treated you so umoothcrly with out some cause.” “I gave her none,” replied tho Doctor. “Sho would tell you herself, I had nlway been a du llful son—that she (looted upon mo, and; that when I came to her house as a stranger, my behavior was scrupulously correct and respect ful. It was a stormy night, and, I had been absent so long that I had Become a stranger in the place. T told my mother this, and yet so little she was influenced by that “natural feel ing” of which you speak, that she obsolusely refused me a bed, ami would hardly. suffer what sho called my presumption in taking a scat at the table. But this was not tho worst: no sooner was tho supperended, than my good mother told me with an air of solemn earnest ness that I must leave her house.” Franklin thon’procccdcd to describe thoßceno at the front door—tho snow drift that camo so opportunely into tho entry—his appeal to her , ' ur *d muling” of mother—her unnatural ami unfeeling rJJcction-of his prayer—and, ft. her very, reluctant compliance with the solicitations of other persons in his behalf— that ho was permitted to steep on a c/im> I i,A* l y A 0r ? of tllls touching recital wont homo.to the heart of Mrs. Franklin, who could not fad to perceive that it.was a true narativo JJV 1 ® cvcntSDf the preceding night in her house; ana while she xndcavo'rtd to I 'escape/ from tho Bclwfcproach that she hod acted the paft of an unfeeling: mother, she could not cosily resist the conviction' that tho stranger who becomes more and more interesting to her as ho proceed ed in his Ins discourse, was indeed her own son.

SHAKING HANDS. 1 Shaking hands is the accepted monnerof per forming,‘how-dc-do,’ ‘glad to see you,* but the manner of doing this varies so much, that'with some people wo have‘great shakes/and with others ‘no shakes at til/. Politicians, if they are running for office, have the art of hand snaking to perfection. Editors have a very im pressive shako for a subscriber paying in ad vance. In shaking hands ladies arc. generally passive, for the least pressure from their little fingers means volumes not included in the for mal ond familiar ceremony. We have been told by those ‘posted up' in such matters that pho telling and eloquent shako of the hand, that eclipses alt others, comes from a principle in a duel when his second announces (o him ‘that the affair was amicably arranged.’. It would be impossible to give all the varied ex pressions that characterize the act of shaking hands ; but there are a few that can be desig nated, which, like primitive colors, from tho ground work of every varying shade. , Tho'pump handle’shake first deserves notice. It is performed in a solemn mechanical manner.. No attempt has ever been sucossful to give it grace or vivacity. As a general rule, it should not bo continued after your friend is in a per spiration. The ‘pendulum’ shake is of a simi lor character, bat it has a horizontal instead of perpendicular motion.' It is executed by bold ly sweeping your hand horizontally toward your acquaintance; and after the junction is effected, rowing with it from • one side to the other as human nature will bear it. The ‘tour niquet’shako is next in importance. It de rives its name from the instrument of torture by which surgeons stop tho circulation of the blood. ■ Tho person using this style if he has iy largo powerful hand, can throw his victims in to intense agony, and even produce dislocation of the small bones of the.fingers, and in deli cate persons easily strain the wrist. The ‘cor dial’ shako is performed with a hearty, boister ous agitation of your friend’s hand, accouipa nied by a moderate degree of pressure, and cheerful exclamations of welcome. Tins stylo is indiscriminate and very popula'r. Tho ‘ner vous touch is the opposite of the cordial grap plo. It is principnlly used by hypochondriacs and sentimental young clergymen, and is al ways accompanied by a nervous inquiry about somebody’s health. The ‘prudo major' and the 'prude minor’arc entirelymonopolized bv the ladies; tho first allows the gentleman to touch the fingers down to the second joint: the sec ond gives you the whole of the forefinger. The very ladies, however, who use these effectually, will In a moment afterwards permit the tourni quet squefte, provided it is done in the waltz or equally familiar dance. Wo ♦mTghtV'CJftetith our listwilh descriptions of the‘grip royal’and 1 1 10 ‘saw mill* shake, and the shake with‘malic, prepenie. which are, after all, bat exaggerated forms Of tho 'pump handle/ ‘pendulum/ and tourniquent varieties, can bo conceived'more easily than described. ' I A I'emulc Puliliclnn. ‘One of tho most remarkable salons of Paris,’ says a correspondent of the London Court Journ 01, */v that of the Princess Licrcn, a lady who has seen more than seventy, summers, ami gone through a world of political intrigue, such ns few have had a taste for or tho opportunity of accomplishing. She left Paris when war was declared, and repaired to Brussels, in which city her active mind could not find sufficient fiolitical employment*,and she returned to Paris, t is said through the instrumentality of Count dc Morny.whoseinUucnccatthoTuillcricsis well known to be supreme. Sho is the chief agent of tho Russian government in Paris ; and tliough her influence at Court can no longer be even suspccted.she still at the saute time contributes much information from tho persons she collects around her with d political point of view. Her medium of communication is through Crestowi. at Brussels, who receives and regularly , for wards to St,-Petersburg, the account of every- thing of interest which takes place in tho pol itical circles of Paris. Tho Princess pretends to bo in Paris on account of her ill health: but so prolonged a sojourn, and time so actively oc copied, belie the idea of her being simply a valetudinarian. During the reign of Quizet, the Princes was mainly instrumental in Rus sianizing tho court of Louis Phillippo.and facts have shown tho success of her efforts: at all events slio is by no means idle at tho present moment, and the Emperor has no more danger ous enemy than she whose wjiolo life and ener gies have been devoted to Russian intrigue in Europe.” CC7* Here is one of the most impressive para graphs we have lately seen i “Life is expenditure; we have it, but arc as continually losing it; wo have tho uso of it, but are continually wasting it.

[Boston Journal.J Romance op Indian Lira.—A private sol dier, writing from Fort Laramie, March 12th, mentions the following incident of the masso ere of Lieut. Grattan : “I will give you two facts connected with the massacre which I have never seen in the papers. A musician, one of the party, otyned or married a squaw, and on that unfortunate day, when she saw danger threatning the troops, she rallied her father and brother to preserve her lover. Wiicn ho fell wounded she rushed to him to protect him from the arrows or perish with him. Her father shot several arrows at the other Indians, .and was wounded himself in tho zealous defence of tho uoldici-s. Then he sat down and wept, as ho could do no more. The hostile Indians then rushed on the wounded soldier,tore him from the embrace of his faithful squaw, and scalped him before her eyes. After this she could not be prevail cd upon to cat or drink, and starved to death, dying in nine days, and glad to go to regain the presence of the spirit of one sho loved so dearly. .The only soldier that reached here alive was found by an Indian, who, instead of scalping him. ministered to his wants, carried water to his hiding place, endeavored to bring him into the fort during tho night, but being unable or afraid to accomplish his purpose, he turned back to Mr. Hordenu’.s house, bearing the soldier, and four Indians overtook him and wished to kill tho wounded man, or ns they said, 'that dog.’ Tho reply of tho noble friendly eavago was, ‘This whit? man must live, or I must die,' and ho bore iiim oil in safety. Such generous deeds should bo remem* bored.” ‘ Tna Conduct op tub Wab.—Tho London Times keeps up its assaults upon the Govern* ment.
