He sinks exhausted on the ground; Imagination warps his will; And frenzied fancy holds him bound On that drear promontory still.

Now in free converse they repose, When Rudolph springs upright: "Good luck! See--see--behind that Alpine rose Unconscious feeds a stately buck. Safe within reach of wind-sped ball, Behold the royal prize remain; Hans--Hans--that noble beast must fall; Give me my rifle back again!" LXX.--ANECDOTE OF FRANKLIN'S BOYHOOD.

His father, who had come over from England, was a soap boiler and tallow chandler, and resided in Milk Street, not far from the Old South Church. Ben was a bright boy at his book, and even a brighter one when at play with his comrades. He had some remarkable qualities, which.always seemed to give him the lead, whether at sport or iu more serious matters. I might tell you a number of amusing anecdotes about him. You are acquainted, I suppose, with his famous story of the Whistle, and how he bought it with a whole pocket full of coppers, and afterwards repented of his bargain. But Ben had grown a great boy since those days, and had gained wisdom by experience; for it was one of his peculiarities, that no incident ever happened to him without teaching him some valuable lesson. Thus he generally profited more by his misfortun...
