Henjamin Franklin was the son of a tallow chandler in Boston. He was the youngest but two of seventeen children ; and having a poor father, penury was his lot. At ten years of age. he was taken from school and placed in his father's work shop. Of course his early advantages were few; k lio fviimmhrd over cvcrv obstacle by his own exertions, and placed himself in the front rank of philosophers. Here, then, is a divine, mathematician, a states man, a pbilasophcr, each of whom distinguished himself without any of those worldly advantages to which you often attach so much importance. The above may be taken as a few illustrations of a large part of honored men in the various depart ments of human effort. We may add, in a word, that Virgil's father was a potter, Luther, was a son of a poor miner, and Zuinglius ofashepard. Uunyan's father wts a t, .,i di,or tini er ColunibllS WHS the SOU 0T a i ...

Jeremy Tavlor was the son of a barber, John Hunter of a carpttter, and Scott, the commentator, of a glazor. 'Ihe lather of John Opie, the great Fglish por trait Daintier, was raised from the bottom of a saw-pit, where he was employed in cutting wood, to the professorship of painting in the Royal Academy.

I have the satisactiou to say that the privations ofthe march were endured by officers and men without complaint, or, perhaps I might more justly say, with cheerfulness. The troops are in fine health and condition. The winter thus far has not been so rigorous as to prevent often the daily instruction of the troops.
