Dr. Benjamin Franklin, after tlio tin- cease of Iiis father, returned to Boston, in order to pay his respects to his mother, who resided in that city. He had been absent soma years, it ml at that period of life, when the greatest and most rapid al teration is made in the human appearance :it a time when the querulous voice of the stripling assumes the commanding tone of tiie adult, and the smiling features of youth are succeeded by the strong lines of manhood. The Doctor was sensible such was the alteration of his person, that his mother could not know him except by that instinct, which, it is believed, can cause a mother’s heart to ben! most vio lently in the presence of a child, and point the maternal eye, with quick anil sudden glance, to a beloved son. To discover the existence of this instinct hv actual experience, tiie Doctor resolved to introduce himself, as a stranger, to his mother, anti to watch, narrowly, for the moment in which she should discover her son, and then to determine, with the cool precision of the. philosopher, whether that discovery was tiie effort of that instinct of affection - that intuitive love—that innate attachment, which is conjectured to ce ment relatives of tho same blood ; and winch, by according tiie passions of parent and chilli, like a wull-tuned viol, would at the first touch cause them to vibrate in unison, anti at once evince that they were ditferent chords of the same instrument. On a sullen chilly day, in the month of January, in the afternoon, the Doctor knocked nt his mother’s door, anil asked to speak wivlj. Mrs. Enmkliu.. lio fouod ui.i LlU laOy Homing before the parlor off —introduced himself, and observing that lie understood she entertained travellers, timaied that Im would do well to seek himself a lodging. The Doctor replied that he would by no means incommode her family ; hut that with her leuye, lie would sillnko one pipe muro with her boarders, ami then retire. lie returned to the company, filled his pipe, and with the first whilT, Ilia powers returned with double force, lie recount ed the hardships—he extolled the piety mid policy of tiioir ancestors. A gentle man present mentioned the subject of the day’s debate in the House of liepresenta- lives. A bill had been introduced to ex tend the prerogatives of the royal gover nor. The Doctor immediately entered upon the subject—supported the colonial rights with new and forcible arguments— wgs familiar with the names of the inllu- cntiul men in the House, when Dudley was Governor—recited their speeches, and applauded the noble defence of ihc chain* hur of rights. During a discourse so nppropriutoly in teresting to the company, no wonder tho clock struck eleven, unperceiveil by the delighted circle; and was it wonderful that the patience of Mrs. Franklin grew quite exhausted ? She now entered the room, and, before the whole company, with much warmth, addressed the Doctor; told him plainly, sho thought herself im posed on ; observed, that it was true, she was a lone woman, but that she had friends who would protect her, and con cluded, by insisting on his leaving the house. The Doctor made a slight apolo gy, deliberately put on his greatcoat and hat, took polite leave of the company, and approached the street door, lighted by the maid and attended by the mistress.— While the Doctor and lbs companions had been enjoying themselves within, a most tremendous snow storm had, without, fil led the streets knee deep ; and no sooner hail the maid lifted the latch, than a roar ing northeaster forced open the door, ex tinguished the light, and almost filled the entry with drifted snow and hail. As soon us it was relighted, the Doctor cast n woful look towards the door and thus ad dressed iiis mother: My" dear madam, can vou turn me out in this dreadful storin’? I am a stranger in this town, and shall certainly perish in the streets. You look like a charitable lady : I shouldn’t think you could turn a dog from your dour on this tempestuous night. Don’t tell me of charity, said the offended matron : elm rity begins at home. It is your own fault you tarried so long. To be plain with you, sir, 1 do not like your looks, or your con duct ; and I fear you have some bad de sign in tlius introducing yourself to my family. Tho warmth of this parley had drawn the company from the parlor, ami l»y their unite ft interference, the stranger was per mitted to loi|go in the house; and as no lied could be had, he consented to rest on A1 public offices in theo|d States, ns well as from various private sources. The tv- cords - , correspndcncf, and other papers of tho old Congress, are preserved in the Department of Stale, to which ho will uls i have across. Wi:h these advantages and resources in aid of the editor, it may tie expected that the work will possess a national interest, and constitute a most valuable addition to our political history. We understand that Chief Justice Marshall cordially approves the plan, and will contribute such fed - ties as may he in his potter to promote its execution.—.V«i. hit. requested a night’s lodging. She eyed ] an easy chair before the. parlor fire him with that, cold look of disapprobation though the hoarders appeared to confide which most people assume when they ima gine themselves insulted, by being suppo sed to exercise an employment but one degree below their real occupation in life I —assured him that he had been misin- I formed—that she did not keep tavern ; (but that it was true, to oblige some mem bers of the legislature, she took a number [ of them into her family during the sessi-j that sho had four members ot the I Uiiauicil, and six of the House ol Repre- I sentatives, who then hoarded with her, that all her beds were full; and than be took herself to her knitting with that in tense application, wliish expressed, us for cibly us action could do, if you have con- i eluded your business the sooner you leave the house tho better. But upon the Doc tor’s wrapping his coat around him, affec ting to shiver witty cold, and observing it was very chilly weather, she pointed to a chair, and gave him leave to warm liitn- Eelf. The entrance of her boarders preclud ed all further conversation—coffee was 6oon served, and the Doctor partook w ith the family. To the coff«e, according to the good old custom of the times, succeed ed n plate of pippins, pipes, and a paper ol 51‘Intire’s best, when the whole futility formed a cheerful smoking semi-circle he | lore the fire. Perhaps no man ever pos sessed the colloquiu! powers to a more I fascinating degree titan Doctor Franklin and never was there an occasion, when lie displayed those powers to greater ailvnn tage than at this time, lie drew the at (cation olThe company, by the solidity of his modest remarks—instructing them by ilm varied, new, anti striking lights in y.bich lie placed his subjects, ami delight ing [Item with apt and amusing anecdote*. Tints employed, the hours passed men ny alting until eight o’clock, when, practual to a moment, Mrs. Franklin announced supper. Busied with her household ui- i'airs, she fancied the intruding strange! hud quitted the house immediately alter cof ' " perfectly, in the stranger’s honesty, st was not so with Mrs. Franklin. With suspici ous caut ion she collected her silver spoons, pepper box, and porringer, front her closet —amt, after securing her parlor door, by sticking a fork over the latch, carried the plate to her chamber—charged the negro to sleep >vith his clothes on—to Hike the great lever to boil with him, anil to waken and seize ilto vagrant at the first noise lie nude in attempting to plunder the house Having thus taken every precaution, she tired to bed with her maid, whom she compelled to sleep in her room. Mrs. Franklin rose before the sun, roug ed her domestics, unfastened the parlor door with timid caution, anil was Hgreea- bly surprised to find her guest quietly looping on his own chair. A sudden transition from extreme distrust to perfect confidence, was natural. She awakened him with a cheerful good morning ; in quired how he rested ; invited him to par- lake of her breakfast, which was always served previous to that of Iter hoarders. And pray, sir, said the lady as she sipped her chocolate, as you appear to be a stran ger here, to what distant country do you belong ? 1, niailum, belong to the city of Philadelphia. At tho mention of Phila delphia, the Doctor declared lie, for the first time, perceived any emotion in her. Philadelphia! said she,‘and all the mother, suffused her eye : i! you live in Philadel phia, perhaps you know my Ben- Who, tnadtun? Why Kan Franklin—my Ben Oh! he is the detirest-chilil that ever blest a mother ! What,said tho Doctor, is lien Franklin, the printer, your sou ; Why, he is my most intimate friend: he and 1 bulge in the same room. Oh! God for give me. exclaimed the old lady, raising her watery eyes to heaven—amt have I su tie red an acquaintance of tny penny to Fleet) in this hard clmir, while I mysell rested on n gootl bed ! How the Doctor discovered himself to his mother lie lias not informed us ; but FROM A SrUI.NOrtKl.Tl t>\PER. A man who is now keeping a large school, within six miles of our oilier, nml who lots kept three seasons before, tit $ !iti [ter mouth, lately gave the following answ er* to the follovcmg questions;— U.

We solemnly assure our readers, that very many of the persons who keep our common schools, winter after winter, tin men win) are thus qualified. And they are often tnen too, who have had the ad outages of academical instruction, and tin show sundry certificates from Cler gymen and selectmen, that they are quali fied to keep an English school. We have to interest, save'an interest in common with every other citizen, in this matter. THE DUELLISTS. MXT Fms was irritati'c, passionate mil unyielding, nml but for his literary ae quirements would never have been known "line, lie was frequently engaged m quarrels that often ended in duels. One day about noon, being in a cuifuo-Uoiisc in Paris, one of the king's guard eaiuein and asked for a cup of o.dl'eo and a roll. That is lint a pour dinner’ said tit. F fix lduuilv. Tbo soldier made B* rtyljr - Thai is but a poor dinner.’ The same iignilietl silence was observed li\ the sol dier. 1 That is hut a poor dinner’ repeat 8t. Foix again. At length the soldier became angry. When the former re marked ‘ though you were to become still more angry, you will yet make hut a poor dinner.’ “ We must fight,” exclaimed the hitter. As much as you please, replied the former, but you still will have but a poor dinner. They light end tlimjeerer it wounded. Had you killed me said the former, still it would have been no less true that you would have made bnt a poor dinner. Tiny renew tiie fight, when they are separated am) rallied be fore tin*, tribunal of tlm .Marshals of France. St. Foix, having recounted ingenuously to Marshal Notiilles ttye whole transaction, declared it was never his intention to in sult Monsieur: tlmt he believed him a gentleman and a bravo soldier, but said ho, thut amounts to limbing, you will egret with me, my Lord, tlmt a cup of coffee anti ii roll would make but a poor dinner. 1 bey both joined in a laugh und parted good friends. THE HEROIC! DAUGHTER. When die French revolution first be gan to desolate the homes of Franco, to drag its devoted victims one by one from the circle of affection, mid crowd the senf* f-iltls with martyrs, D’Azinvnl lied his country. A moment lie paused as the spirit of patriotism spoke within him, and the thrnliliings of his heart grew quicker, while lie contemplated the altars of Fruifco overthrown, her laws outraged, her chil dren massacred ; while the myi niidons of .umrHiy nut] atheism desolated the scep tre of Imr power, mid tilled her high pla ces. But, alas ! for Iiis country, he lelt it \ ain to raise his arm ; it might draw down destruction on his head, but could not avert itone moment from bet's. '1’he do mop of discord, like the hot blast of the sirocco, withered her virtqo and invaded iter strength ; mitl hostile as it Was to his nature, fie saw it was the part of wisdom to prostrate himself, like tho traveller in thi! desert, till its fury bad passed. Nor was this resolution tho remit of consideration that cciitretl in sell ; ho had a tie that weakened the love of country ; the feelings of the patriot were merged in the (fears mnl the affections of the parent, and to withdraw Ids voting and lovely Atlele ft ’om the scenes of terror, was the first motive of his flight. In their early progresss, one engrossing anxiety, the safety of his darling charge, pervaded Iiis soul. The companionship t>l the precious pledge of early love nml former happiness, gave mi elasticity to Iiis ; *UJP, an energy to Ids conduct, that would uavo ljeen unknown to lfi“> n ton-dy | fugitive ; hut embarked upon the broad j bosom of the ocean, in proportion ns her I security became certain, some rerpllccti- I oiis ami regrets arose ; the wind und the I w aters, and the clear sky, spoke of no I foes to tho l»»pj>i«*onn nnif tmiOCW^DT1TW | chilil, Inn thi’y left him leisure to rc-cre- ate the past, and to anticipate the luture. He turned to the. land of Ilia fathers, the cradle of his hopes nml the grave of Iiis Vippincss, and now first felt himself an emigrant. The possession of property in tho is laud h:u! determined him to make choice Domingo. When its craggy rocks first stun k his view, lie gazed on it as a vast dungeon, ami those rough outworks with which nature hail fenced if, appeared the harriers of hope. Not so to tin* light & buoyant heart of Adelo, who weaned w.tli tier voyage, longed to tread again oil terra firina; certain in till ilio confidence ol vomig existence and unchecked expecta tion, of meeting happiness every where, her joyous and brilliant Mature was never long under eclipse, even when her sensi bility was liumi itivtc-bedtaritli the apparent, melancholy of hefcfiimMR-. Established on the rsTHtitl, Adele made | her father’s home the theatre of herexer- nons. If r itiste. elegance, and ingenui ty, supplied the place of expensive luxu ries, while lor lively spirits and happy temper pervaded l lie whole sphere of do- mcsiic management with u harmony and lustre which were sunshine qnd music it ,he soul. D’Azinvnl felt that the imlul genre of sorrow was ingratitude to lieu ven ; and though the destiny of France threw a shadow on Iiis happiness, it grew under tin! influence of the expanding charms ami virtues ot his child, more, pure than he hud over dared to hope for in this win hi. Their little habitation, seated o gentle declivity’ of a mountain, w-as at once sheltered nml embellished by all that un- tnre so abundantly yields in this rich ami lertilo Island. Thu golden orange and the fragrant citron gratified the senses with their sweetness, qrilour, and beauty— while the onk, the elm, tho pine, and nu merous other trees, rose majestically a- round the remote precincts of their cot tage. Its access was u terrestrial para- disci; D’Azinvnl had employed his time in ,, ; 1 forming it to his awn unit Adele’s taste ; I a. Horses whoso lalmr is severe I fountains supplied from springs of purest '’.V bcingstintnd in water,) water, every where “ shook their loesen- 1 • ‘ ,• " ! . 11 '• '/D; are allowed a large \ vfi stiver iu the sun,” and gave a delirious T 1, " 1 a eoin, non pruc* 1 coolness to thwsrone, intiie midst of which lirsrs the beautiful Adele, like another Eve, otilil often spread n sweet repast tor himself, and probably -rewarding his benefactor, the generous Indian. D’Aziti- val listed to tho youth with the warmth of a brother, and bade hint welcome, Ou- Iml partook of some refreshment, but could not ho persuaded to accept of any thing more ; lie pressed tho young Lorraine to his heart, ami hade him farewell, in his own expressive language ; then, turning to l)'A/iiivul, he called him “ le Ion Wane,” and witty an act of reverence to Adele, as to n being of a brighter sphere, the dqsky stranger departed, All the hoarded love of country that had silently ucciirtquluteil in D’Azinvol’s heart poured itself forth on this qiifortungte child of France, who hail been thusunex peetedly thrown under Iiis protection.— lie saw with delight the natural conse tptouces oftyvo beings so young, so beau tiful as Atlele ami Louis being brought in- ;o contact, anti lie smiled on their young and innocent loves, ns we may imagine did tiie patriarchs of old on those of their children, when the world vvns yet young, nml equal worth ami mutual affection funned the only bonds of union. If Adele bait been before n creature of happiness nml beauty, she was much more so now, when every charm was heightened under the influence of the most powerful stitnu Innt I lie human heart iieluioyvledges. From the first site had united with her father in ell tho kindly offices of hospi tality ; as a stranger, as mi invalid, Louis Lorraine liitd culled upon her pity ; her sweet song, ami sweeter smile, were ever reatly to phase sorrow anti despondence Prom his soul—while her gentle cares, ami delicate attentions brought back the glow ami vigour of health, and Louis pmd her sweet charity with all lie hud to give Iiis heart ; and never won there » sphere than this appeared to crown the dwelling of D’A- zinvtil ; atitl tho regrets of the past were Inst in the enjoyments of the present.— The richest charms of nature, the purest sweets of domestic life, blessed Iiis home of exile, and lie sometimes doubted whe lher the meridian of I’aris, or Iiis villa in its environs, would have afforded so sweet and safe a sanctuary. The interest of politics, the finesse of society, wotfid have crept iu ; pomp and pageantry would irequnily have displaced social enjoyment uid careless ease ; Adele, instead of be ing the arhitress of one happy qnd devot 'd heart, had been the idol of n crowd with scarcely a heart among them; and a drawing these contrasts, D’Azinvnl felt tliut retirement, illumined by enlightened iliillds, untl enlivened ntid endeared l»y du- mestio duties, was the true gpUare ofdo- inoHiie ... .. . - . tint as nothing in tub world i» perfect, so neither is there any thing permanent, ittpl the felicity of the three happiest be ings tho earth had ever held, was destined to experience nu eclipse when it was in its meridian lustre. The day was fixed that waste blend tho destinies of the young lovers ; and tho blush of modest joy was on i lie cheek of Adelo us she listened to the raptures of her future husband, while they strolled through ihe,sweeiest scenes, illumined by the brightest moon-light.— Suddenly Lorraine heard Iiis name. lie paused and listened : again some invisible being called upon him. lie answered the cull, felling the stranger to come forth; itn Indian appeared. Bidding her not he the i alarmed, Louis left Adele, und withdrew ' a few paces to converse with him ; then returning to Iiis tpistgess, he cried, ‘‘Let me attend you to the house, Adele, 1 must leave you immediately. Be not itlnrniod, my love, my stay will not ho long.” But wjiv must you go ? Why, Louis, a pair of hoots belonging to a young do* mestic, her glossy tresses, rarely encum bered with more limn a chaplet of flowers, were tqcketl under a foraging cap, wliiTq a cloak of Lorraine^ concealed the rest of her unsuitable attire. Insensible to fatigue, she pursued her way; all the courage of her Bex, whic^ ever rises in proportion to the emergency that culls it thrill, strung her nerves, ih>9 did one feminine emotion sicken lies heart till she beheld the prison gate close, and shut her lather iVeim her eyes. Then burying her face in her yloalc she sunk in to n recess of a building, agaioqt whicR she leaned, nml which commanded viow of the prison. Suddenly arousing herself from an agony of despair, she look ed lip to heaven, ejaculating “ God of tha innocent! just mid omnipotent Being giyc nte thy aid ! u Fortitude inntunlly renewed Iter broken spirit; a confidence in divine support inspire^ the radiance of hope ill her heart, and she sat collecting Iter thoughts and resting her slinking frame, unnoticed and ttnnotielng, though crowds kept |tnesiug and repaying wherQ she sat. The mid-dny sun was riding high iu tbQ heavens—twelve hours of qnreufiued and unrelreslietl fatigue hud been passed, when the creaking of (ho hinges of the honvy prison doors again called every thought m her father. She saw the guard issue forth, with their superiors, ‘‘proud in authority,” exerted for the worst oC purpose^. All the pomp of military pa rade was there. She drew her cap cIohq down upon Iter face ; and Iter cloak clo ser about her form, and mingled in tho crowd which had began to lipr lie^rt.haeNviViice she stood, .-..'ill i‘...f i* I) I I... ^ ail quitted the house 'T"™ ' , - u , |V 0 i M ihe above experiment, lie wtts'firmly vice, and it was with difficulty she coiilU , (l wn , ofu .„ afterwards hoard wirum her resentment when she saw ™ t t lllt J10 / ui -al affection does not quantity of foorl. wagon come m from a long fUtIg„m K J0U1 . their strength almost exhausted by continued exertion and sweating, i,, them immediately an nitlimitod quamitv of food, and very little, and most eon,, moldy not u drop, of water.

All that could preserve the memo ry of France was carefully studied,yet mix ed with much nfthc wild and picturesque beauty of luxuriant nature.

She heard the wort} ol"command, she saw them marshalled t<$ the placp of execution ; again she called upon the Qod of tiie jjniverdc, and stifling her emotion, followed. Revolutionary executioners bad grown • wejsry of the task of despatching their victims one by one, And on the present occasion, ns on mapy others, the priso ners were assembled in u crowd, in order to be destroyed at opec by a discharge of musketry. All was arranged—the coni detuned stood together—men upon tha threshold of eternity. Some closed their ryes (for there were many who refused to have them bandaged) as though to shut out the dreadful view of the gulf before* them ; others looked up to heaven, wbera only they could hope for mtqrcy. 4 Tlus muttkeu were levelled—not a breath WM heard—'twu* the nwh'ud silence which pre ceded the sigJisJ of death—pf murtlcr ra ther.

A pause still ipor< aw ful, still more touching, followed, in wliicii D'Aiizival gazed in voiceless emo tion on hjs pale child, cliugiug to him witit convulsive tenderness and terror. Ho was bewildered with the flood of for ling* that rushed upon him.
