ducks taking their morning dip in the cool

levelled and let by at the lot, when four of tin ni
gave up the ghost by the iniptilsion of the first
shot. The other two ducks flew towards the
land. and both were winged by the second dis
charge. The host came to the spot by that
time, and saw his old drake and his harem

FRANKLIN AND HIS MOTHER.
It was an idea of Dr. Franklin's,. if not a
settled opinion, that a mother might, by . a. kind
of instinct or natural affection, - recognize her
children, even though she had lost - the recollec
tion of their features. And on a visit to his
native town of Boston, after an absence of many
years. W — irtalmlii - tictlain by exper'-
inent whether Wtheory was correct or not.
On a blt:ak_ and chilly day in the month of
January, the 'Doctor, late in the afternoon.
knocked at the dohr - of his mother's house - and
asked to speak with Mrs. Franklin. • He found
the old lady
-knitting before the pallor
_fire.
He introduced himself, and observing that he
understood she entertained travelers, requested
lodgings for the,night.
She eyed him with that cold look of disap
probation which most people assume who im
agine themselves insulted by. being supposed
to exercise an employment which they deem a
degree below their real occupation in life. She
assured him he had been misinformed—she did
not keep a tavern, nor did she keep a house to
entertain strangers. It was true, she added,
that to oblige some members of the Legislature,
she took a small number of them into her th
ily during the session ; that she had four mem
bers of the Council and six of the House of
Representatives, who then boarded with her,
and that all her beds were full.
having said this she resumed her knitting
with that intense
.application which said, as
forcibly as action could, if you have concluded
your business, the sooner you leave the house
the b
.better. But on the Doctor's wrapping his
coat about him, affecting -to shiver, and ob
serving that:the .weather was very cold, she
pointed to a chair and gave him leave to warm
himself.
The entrance. of boarders prevented all
further conversation. Coffee was soon served,
and he partook with the family---To the coffee,
according-to the good .old cristom of the times,
sticceede7l a plate of pippins, pies, and a pap6r
of tobacco, when the whole company formed a
cheerful smoking semi-circle before the fire.
Perhaps no mini ever possessed colloquial
powers in a more fascinating degree than Doc
tor Franklin. and never was there occasion on
which 'he displayed them to Letter advantage
than the present one. He drew the attention
of the company by the solidity of his 'remailis;
instructing them by the varied, new and strik
ing lights in which he placed his subjects, and
delighted them with apt illustrations and
amusing anecdotes.
Tbus .employed, the hours passed merrily
along until supper was announced. —Mrs.
Franklin, busied with her household affairs,
pPosed _thetrudi n,,o•_strang er_hadLl eft_t he
house immediately after coffee. and it was
with difficulty she saw him seat himself at the
tal e with the freedom of a member of the
family.
Immediately after supper she called an el
derly gentleman, a member of the Council, in
whom she was accustomed to confide, to ano
ther room, complained bitterly of the rudeness
of the stranger, told the manner of his intro
duction tO her house, observed th , tt he seemed
like an outlandish sort of a man. She thimght
he had something very suspicions in his ap
pearance, and she concluded by soliciting her
friend's advice as to the way iu which she could
most easily rid herself of his presence. The
old gentleman assured her that the stranger
was surely a young man of good education,
and to all appearances, a gentleman—that,
perhaps, being in agreeable company, he paid
no attention to the lateness of the hour. Ile
advised her to call the stranger aside and re
peat her inability to lodge him. She accord
ingly sent her maid to him, and with as much
compraconcy as she could. conunand, she re
capitulated the situation of her f.t Indy, (ise: ved
that it grew late, and mildly intimated he
would do well to seek kalginps.
The Doctor replied' that he would by no
means incommode her family, but with her
leave he wotJd smoke"one wore pipe with her
boarders, and then retire.
He returned to the company, filled his pipe.
and with the first whiff his conversational
powers returned with double -force. He re
counted the hardships endured by their ances
tors ; he extolled their piety, virtue and devo
tion to religious freedom. The subject of the
day's debate in the House of Representatives
was mentioned by one of the members. A hill
had been introdnet d to extend the prerogatives
of the royal governor. The Doctor immediate
ly joined in the discussion, supported the colo
nial rights with new and forcible arguments.
was familiar with the names of the influential
men in the House, when Dudley was governor:
recited their speeches, and applauded their no
ble defense of the charter of tights.
During a discourse so appropriately inter
esting to the delighted company, no wonder
the clock struck eleven unperceived by them.
Nor was it a wonder that the patience of 11rs,
Franklin became entirely exhausted. She now
entered the room and addressed the Doctor
before the whole company, with a wainith
glowing with a determination to be her own
protectress. She told him plainly that. she
thought herself imposed on, but that she had
friends who would defend her, and insisted
that he should immediately leave the house.
The Doctor made a slight apology and de
liberately put on his great coat and hat. took
polite leave of the company. and appioaclual
the street doom, attended by the inistte6S and
lighted by the maid.
While the Doctor and his companions had
been enjoying themselves within. a most tire
mentions storm 'of wind ani rain occurred
without. and no soonor had the 'redid lifed
the latch than a roaring northeaster forced open
the (icor, extingui•slo,l thi• light ~vi almost

.'s soon as the candle was Iv-lighted, the Doe -
tar cast ri wofil look toward the dour, and thus

carried the valtrahles to her chamber, charging!
the neg.ro - man to sleep with his clothes on, to

to waken and seize the vagrant at the first
noise he should make in attempting - to plunder.
Mrs. Franklin rose before the sun, roused
tier domestics, and was quite afreeahly snr
prised to find her terrific auest quietly sleep
ing', in his chair. She a woke him with a cheer
ful good morning; inquired how he rested and
invited hint to partake of her breakfast', which
was always served previous to that of her
boat ders.
"And pray, sir," said Mrs. Franklin, "as
you appear to 'be a stranger in Boston, to what
distant country do you belong?"
"1 belong, madam, to the Colony,of Penn
s:, D ania, and reside in Philariciphia.''
At the mention of Philadelphia the Doctor
dtielaied he for the first time perceived some
thing Like emotion in her.
"Philadelphia ?"'said she, while the earnest
anxiety of a mother sptftised lA. eye : "why,
if you live in Philadelphia perhaps you know
my Ben ?"
"Who, madaM ?'-
Ben - Franklin, mv dear - Ben. Oh, how
would give the world to see him I He is the
dearest son that ever blessed a mother."'
"What ! is Ben Franklin, the printer, year?.
son ? Why he is my must intimate friend,
Ile amid I worked together and lodged in the
same room."
! Heaven forgive me !" exclaimed the
old lady, raising her tearful eyes,.••and have 1
sutferea a friend of my own Ben to sleep upon

. Mrs. Fianklin then told her unknown guest
that though he had been ahseht from her over
since , be was a child, she could not NI to know
hint among a thousand strange faces ; for there
was a natural feeling in the breast of every
mother, which she new would enable her, with
out the possibility of a mistake, to recognize
her son in any disguise he might assume..
Franklin doubted, and took leave to dispute
his mother's proposition on the power of nat
ural feeling. lie said he had.tried this "mutt
ral feeling' in his own motile!, and found it
deficient in the power she ascribed to it.
"And did your mother,'" inquired she, "not
know you 3 or - if she did not seem to know you.
was there not, in he-t• kindnesa to you, an evi
dence that she F a w something in your appear
mice winch wa:-. dear to her, so tital she eodld
not resist treating von with particular tender
ness and affection f"
"No, indeed," re 'lied Franklin, "she neither
knew me, nor did she treat me ivy ► tic
least symptoms of kindness. She would have
turned me out of doors but for the interposi
tion of'strangers. She could hardly be per
suaded to allow me to sit at her tulle. I knew
I was in my mother's house, awl had a claim
upon her hospitality and theretin•e, you may
suppose, when she peremptorily commanded
me'to leave the house, I was in no hurry to
obey."
"Surely pat," interrupted his mother.
"She wontd tell you herself I had always
been a dutiful son—that she doated upon me,
and that whetr - I came to her house as a stran
ger, my behaviour was scrupulously correct
and respectful. -It was a stormy night, and 1
had been absent so long that I had become a
stranger rn the place. I told my mother this,
and vet; so little was idle 'influenced by that
'natural feeling' of which yoti - speak. ,that she
absolutely retused me a bed, and would hard-
Iv suffer What she called my presumption in
taking a scat at the" table. Bat this was not
the worst ; no sooner was the- supper ended
than my good mother told me, with an air of
solemn earnestness, that I must leave her
house."
Franklin then proceeded to describe the
scene at the front door—the snow drift that
came so opportunely into the entry—his appeal
to her “natural feeling" of a mother —her un
natural and unfeeling rejection of his prayer.--
and, finally, her very reluctant cotnpliance
with the solicitations of other persons in his
behalf—that he he pertni tied io sleep on a choir.
Every word in this tomihing recithi went
home to the heart of is. Franklin, who could
not tail to perr ib eive that it was a true narrative
of the events of the preceding night in her Own
house ; and, while she endeavored to - escape
front the self reproach that she had - acted the
pnrt. of an unfeeling. Dm, her, she could -not easi
ly resist the conviction that the stranger, who
became more and mor c interesting to her as be
proceeded in his discourse. was indeed her own
son. But when she observed the tender
expressiveness, of his eyes us lie feelingly re
capitulate d die circumstancesunder w hick sire
attempted to turn him shelterless into the street,
