Maternal Influence. During a lech ire on Popular Education, re cently delivered, Gov. Briggs related the fol lowing Impressivo Incident: Two vo or fifteen years ago I loft Washing ton three or four weeks during tho spring.— While at homo, I possessed myself of the let ters of Mr. Adams's mother, and read them with exceeding Interest. I remember an ex pression In one of tho letters addressed to hor son, while yot q boy twelve years of age in Europe. Says she, “I would rather see yon in your grave than that you should grow up a profane and graceless boy.” After returning to Washington, I wentovor to Mr. Adams's seat one day, and said to him— “ Mr, Adams, I have found out who made you.’’ 11 What do you mean 1” aald Jte. I replied, “I have been reading the letters of your mother 1” Had I spoken that dear name to somo little boy who had been for weeks nway from bis dear mother ,htepyo could not have flashed more brightlj^r his face glowed more quickly, than did the eye and face of that venerable old 'matt when I pronounced the naino of his mother. He started up, in his peculiar manner, and em phatically said: Yes, Mr. Briggs, All that is good In mo I owe to my mother." 1 - 0b, what a testimony was that from this venerable toAh to hts mother, who hod in his remembrance all tho scenes of his manhood 1 All that is good I owe to my mother 1” Mothora, think of this when yonr bright- eyed little hoy is about you. Mothers may make tho first impressions upon thelr ehlldron, and thoso Impressions will b* *° b ® effaced. - BY THE HON. R. M. CHARLTON. ■'The courts are all over: the happy light of vacation has dawned upon mo: and bidding a glad farewell to tecs, clients and law, I am off for tho northom country And now I am In tbo magnificent city of Now York, with Its gorgeous palaces, its filthy hovels, its noblo- hearted men, Its consummate villains: whore Vice and Virtue ride In the same omnibus, and tho dead sloop hy the side of the throng ed pathway; and tho shriek of misery and tho plalntlvo moan of sorrow float along, so blen ded with the merry laugh and the sound of trumpets and clarions, that the ear cannot separate thcral It Is truly a wonderful city: and who shall foretell its ultimate grandeur when a faw brief years shall have passed away! Lookat that numberless best, a* tUy flit along; an indiscriminate mass, yet each ono with hts Individual cares and hts person al joys. .Gastngat thorn, I am reminded of the tote they tell ofan unsophisticated Geor gian, who, having arrived by sea, and 'putup' (In the sixth story) of tho Astor, was reques ted by a friend to take a walk, but declined, as he said he would prefer to wait until the crowd which ho bow on the sldowalk had pass ed by! Poor fellowl His eyos will opon up on 'another and a better world' before that ■crowd’ passes by in this. "A faw days after my arrival, I dashed Into the melee, and was borno along, I know nor cared not whither. Suddenly I was seised by the arm, and before I had time fur resistance, was hurried to a corner of the pavement, out of tho press. I looked up with anger but all Indignation was Instantly dlsral sed when beheld my captor. He was a muscular young man, with fine features, a little clouded by liquor, without coat or hat, with- faded pantaloons and ragged shirt slooves. Ills countenance denoted anything but hostility; and so, gently dtsongoging myself, I demand ed of him what ho wanted with me. 'You are a gentleman; a man of feeling and an American.’he answered, with an Impressivo and somewhat courteous manner. Iacknowl- edged my American birth, and was about dis claiming tho other compllmonts when he chcckod me, with groat decision: ‘Do n't de ny It,’ ho said; 'every faatnre of yonr nohlo countenance whispers It. Here I have been awaiting for hours to find some whole-souled ‘filler,' that I might ask bis advice; hut here I have waited in vain, until yon camo along; and the momont my eyes fall upon you, said I to myself, 'John Bates, that’s your man; just look at him, doubt If you canl’—and so say- ing, I plunged Into tho crowd, and brought you here.' 'There was an eloquonce and a truth about niy-new ML»a-4h*t -quiteJmPtes^Ai»«MAJn a falLsnlt j sivo; and although I dldnot quite understand (He figure ot speeen mnm» c.-^— i-v-ro., lng,’ and had consldorablo doubt concerning the 'nohlo countenance,’ yet, upon tho whole, I felt Interested in him; considering him, cer tainly, as a man of sonse. 'Tako my hand.’ ho added, and I took It. ‘Now,’ said ho 'you’vo got the hand of ono of the best and noblest fallen' in the world. I won’tlio, even though I bo talking about myself. My mothor said to me in mj Infancy, ‘John,’ soys she, ‘never lie,'and I won’t; and therefore Isay again, you’ve got hold of tbo hand of one of Nature's noblemen; suffering, though, from loss of clothes, want of money, and a starving for food. And now that I’ve got hold of a man that's got aheadto advlso and mheart to fool, I want to know from him what Is his adrico to mo under these clreumstancesl' "I reflected a moment, and thenhanded him a'quarter.' ‘Well, John,'saidl, ‘Iadvlsoyou tq tako this money and bay food, and not drink.' «‘That’s good adrico, as far as It goes,' ho answered, ‘but this won't lost forever. When I have spent it, what shall I do thonl I can'i starvol’ “I paused to deliberate, and then replied: ‘You seem to bo strong and healthy, and you say you’ve got a good trade: suppose you were to go to work as soon as this has been spent! How does that suggestion strike you! “A shade of disappointment passed over the face of my democratic admirer. It was evidently not the 'whisper' ho expected from tho features of the 'noble countenance.’ was a utilitarian suggestion, wholly unworthy of a social philosopher, an enlarged philan thropist. Ho shook my hand sadly, and thon waring Ills own, darted into the living stream, and passed away, like a vision of hope, never to return. I am afraid that my 'quarter' soon became an artlclo of commerce, and repre- senteda fluid.

Of all these we have said, ‘Let by-gonesbo by-gone«.’ With the dignity and calmness of men, with out bravado or threat, we have announced the conditions upon which we eon remain to gether.
