So soon as his resources would per mit, he made ample provision for her support; and for years afterwards he entered Parliament, and even when a foreign Ambassador, he wrote her a weekly epistle, breathing the kindliest affection. Though he could never elevate her taste and associations above the connections of her youth, he used to throw aside the cares of office, that he might visit her and the humble cousins with whom she dwelt, at Bath, and there, when in the zenith of his fame, would walk out with his plebeian relatives, and re ceive the homage of his lordly visitants at that fash ionable place of resort, in their company. This makes him a noble man. He delighted in literary pursuits—was a brilliant essayist and wrote Latin and English verses with much grace and beauty. How entwined around the heart of the best and greatest men, are the thousand recollections of ma- ternal love! In looking back through the desert of years, to the first years of life, the rosy spring time of existence, the soul beholds a molher's form shining like an angel in Paradise.

Lamartine, in his “ Voyage en Orient. touchingly adverts to his mother's teaching. “’My mother,” he says,‘“had received from her mother a handsome Bible of Boyoumont from which she taught me to Tead when I was young. This Bible had engrav ings of sacred subjects, on nearly every page. When 1 had read a page with tolerable correctness, my mother allowed me to see a picture; and placing theibook upon her knees she explained the subject to me, as a recompense for my progress. She was most tender arid affectionate by nature, and the im pressiveness and love, which still resounds in my heart, after that voice has, alas, been long mute!" What bora wonder is it that the child who list ened to such teachings, from such a teacher, should have become the great and good man Lamartine ? Our own Washington had likewise such a mother. Never can the soft, gentle whisper of a mother's • early teaching be forgotten—never can her influence he over-rated. answered Madame Campan to the 1 question, What is needed to educate a na . tipn'?” when she .wisely replied in one word The Trappe—“ Ich Ersteige s ’— I The Burial Place of Gov. Shiuik. BY JAMES REES. There is a pleasant little village called the Trappe, situated in a most delightful' part of our State, about 28 miles from Philadelphia, on the main road leading to., Reading. Its rural beauty, the salubrity of the vicinity to the romantic Schuylkill, the intelligence of its inhabitants, all unite in making it as lovely a spot as the heart of man could desire. Not long since a question arose as to the origin of its name, and many were the strange interpretation o given to its cognomen, and genealogy. Some have asserted, and roundly too, that it took its name from a house of doubtful character, into which strangers were entrapped, murdered, and robbed. To this version some, cogent arguments have been adduced, and if it were not for proof in our possession of the real origin, this one could be sustained by many facts in relation to such a house. Another version is given of an old settler being lost in the snow, and afterward found in one of the ravines trapped by underwood, &c. &c. As the true origin is somewhat curious, we send it to you for publication. Upwards of an hundred years ago there stood a small house at the foot of tliV hill, which runs back from the now main road, kept by an old man. an intimate acquaintance of the Rev. Air. Muhlenberg,* who had located, or rather was in the habit of preaching there to the few inhabitants,'as well as to the settlers in various parts ol the State. He made this little hotel his resting place, and it is stated by old people, residents of the place, that letters were received from the old country to his address, post-marked li Jit the Trcppe , Providence , Jhnerira" This house was built Upon a little rising ground, some few feet above the level of the road, leading tp which were thhkk KTKi's, it had neither sign or signal, but was. universally called the house of steps, and the Ger mans, perhaps Mr. Muhlenberg himself, gave it the name ol the ‘ ; Tuephe," meaning steps. In progress of time the harsh sound of Treppe was soitened down to Trappe, and by which name it lias been called and known ever since. It is invariably writ ten Trap, and thirty years ago, if it had been spell ed or written Trappe , one-half of the people in that section of the country would not have known its locality. Hence it is that merchants and others have fallen gradually into the custom, and we find it so written even to the present day, nor has the old German termination of sound been lieard since tin* days of old Patriatich Muhlenberg. There is one other curious fact connected with tins place worth relating. The private seal of our worthy’ Governor, Francis R. Sliunk, had on it the impress of three steps , with this motto I, lch Hu stkioe,*’ raise yourself aud when we take into con sideration that he was born at the Trappe, the true origin of its name cannot be doubted, nor will we bo convinced it bus any other until “ Thou ean'st rail the seal from off my bond,’ which is here annexed in proof of our position. Apart lrom the curious coincidence of the three steps being engraved upon the seal of Governor Slumk, there is a voice in the “/»•/< Ersteii'e." which his high station makes almost prophetic. It may. for aught we know, be ihe same insignia T His graudsire wore about bis neck In three seat rings.” — Shuk. And probably possess a charm which will serve as an amulet against “ The guilt, belli of deceit and malice. ‘The reader will understand this to be the grand father of Henry A. Muhlenberg, deceased. lladame Lamartine. The wife of Lamartine is an English woman, whose maiden name is Birch. We learn from the Manchester Guardian, that, while no longer in the bloom of youth, she became passionately enarmored of Lamartine from a perusal of his “ Meditations.” Becoming apprised, from a newspaper statement, of the embarrassed.condition of his affairs, and the necessity of calling a meeting of his creditors, she immediately wrote to him with an offer of the loan of the whole of her fortune unconditionally, and with the smallest possible reserve of her own im mediate wants. It appears that Lamartine was touched at this proof of generosity, that he imme diately set out to throw himself at the feet of his benefactress. Believing that such unsought interest could have its mainspring in one sentiment alone, he chivalrously resolved to make an offer of his hand and heart. The pair were soon after married, the fortune of the bride amply repairing every breach which youthful extravagance had made in that of her husband. She is remarkable for her religious enthusiasm, and is ”ery popular with the priest, from whose influence, it is said Lamartine has derived a good deal of support. —Boston Trans nipt. Progress of the Soul. We wonder, indeed, when we are told that one day we shall be as the angels of God. I apprehend that as great a wonder has been realized already on the earth. I apprehend that the distance between the mind of Newton and a Hottentot, may have been as great as between Newton and an angel. There is another view still more striking. This Newton, who lifted his calm, sublime eye to the heavens, and read, among the planets and the stars, the great law of the material universe, was, forty or fifty years before, an infant, without one clear perception, and unable to distinguish his nurse's arm from the pillow on which he slept. Howard, too, who, under the strength of an all-sacrificing benevolence, explored the depth of human suffer ing, was, fo riy or fifty years before, an infant, whol ly absorbed in himself grasping at all he saw. and almost breaking his little heart with fits ot passion when the idlest toy was withheld. Has not rnan already traversed as wide a space as separates him from angels? Newspapers. A man eats up a pound of sugar, and the -plea sure he enjoyed has ended; but the information he gets from a newspaper is treasured up in the mind, to be enjoyed anew, and to be used whenever occa sion or inclination callsffor it. A newspaper is not the wisdom of one man, or two men; it is the wis dom of the age, and ol past ages too. A family without a newspaper, is always half an age behind the times in general information, besides they never think much or find -much to think about. And there are the little ones grow ing up in ignorance, without any taste for reading. Besides all these evils, there's the. wife, who, when her work is done, has to sit down with hands in her lap, and nothing to amuse her mind from the toils and cares of the domestic circle. Who then would be without a newspaper? —Benjamin Franklin! . . “ THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.”— Buchanan. CITY OF LANCASTER,.

GORMELY, in the CLOTHING BUSINESS, excites the surprise of some and the envy and jealousy of others His unparalleled success some attribute to one cause, and some to another* And some, more envious than the rest, attribute it to any cause that best suits their purposes, no matter how unjust, or how foul the misrepresentations. Again, there is another class more easily satisfied, and content themselves by saying—“ Well, it is all luck—better to be born lucky than rich. Born under a lucky planet,” &c, “ Pshaw says Dr. Franklin, of luck, all the luck Fkiiow of is in proper managejnent.” Precisely so, Dr., and just the operating cause in the 'extensive business done at the great LANCAS TER HALL OF FASHIONS. The only eecret in this large business,, and the only reason that it of large, is because lie is careful in the selection is good materials, and has all his goods well made — and then the fit ol his garments cannot be surpassed; and are sold at prices that defy competition. This is the cause of his astonishing success at the great' LANCASTER HALL OF FASHIONS, N. Queen St . Lancaster; next fo J. Gish & Co.’s Book Store and the National House. [May 9, ’48.-tf-15. GEO.
