" I thank you for your ingenious paper in h-
ymr of the trees. I own I now wish we had iwo
rows of them iii every one of our streets. The
coMfortable shelter they would afford us 'when
walking, from our burning summer suns, and the
greater cobbler; 'of our' walls and navementS,.

inhabitants amply eompeniate the toss of a house.

sequence ; .brit a tree Is'pocin felled ; and as axes.

" You.do well to avoid being concerned in the
pieces of personal abuse so scandalously common
in our newspapers, that I am'afraid to lend any of
them .here, till 1 have examined and laid aside.
Such as would disgrace us ; and subject us among.
strangers to a reflection like that used by a gen;
tleman in a Coffee-house to two quarrellers, who
after a hoitually free use of the words, rogue,
lain, rascal, scoundrel, &c. seemed as they
would refer their dispute to him :" 1 know nothing
of you, or your affairs, said be; I perceive.
that you know one and other.'
" The conductor of a newspaper, should, .me-
thinks, consider himself as in some degree the
guardian of his country's reputation, and refuse to
insert Lomb writings as may hurt it. If people
will print their abuses of one and other, let them
do it in little pamphlets, and distribute theni where
they think proper. It is absurd to trouble all the
world with them ; and tinjttst, to subscribers in
distant places, to staff their paper with matter so
unprofitable and so .disagreeable. With sincere
'esteem-and affection, I am, my dear friend, ever
yours, FaaNKLIN.."

The next letter, which we think well calculated
to afford a just idea of the Writer's epistolary ta-
lents, is addressed to his only daughter, Mrs.
BACHE, and dated Passy, 26th January, 1784.---.
The first part of it treats of the institution of a
species of Knights who styled themselves Cirrein.
