FRANKLIN, in a sketch of his early life

his frugal and diligent wife. Verify wives
in those days were emphatically helpmates.
A wife could scarcely make prettier apollo

We have an English proverb that says:
He that would thrive,
Must ask his wife,

disposed to industry and frugalty as myself
She assisted me cheerfully in my business,

shop, purchasing old linen rags for the paper

table was plain and simple, our furniture Of

was for long time bread and milk, and

will enter families, and make progress in
spite ofprinciple. Being called one morning

From the Ne,c York Journal Of Commerce.
WHY does not the Monitor tell the
whole story. We have it on authority!
which we have no doubt is quite as good
as that quoted by the Monitor, that this
newly discovered girl at Providence, is
the real Sarah NJ. Cornell, and the only
one: and that the individual found hang
ing in the stack-yard, was transient per-
son happening to resemble her: That
in fact the Cornell girl only ran away,
leaving the memorandum behind her as
already stated: That she proceeded TO
Providence and secreted herself, to see
whether her trap would catch Avery and
involve him III difficulty. The suicide
ofthe stack yard happening just as 1t did
nut the climax upon the adventure, and
accomplished all she wished. She has
therefore remained hidden, until finding
that Avery is clear, she now exhibits her
self as trim as OIL the morning after sh
snunped the young fellow at Thompsosl
We advise all those who are fond c

stories. For ourselves, however, bein
rather incredulous, we do not belies

CONTENTS OF MIR. RANDOLPH'S

w ILL.
We understand from friend at Charlotte
Court house, says the Richmond Compiler
that the will of Mr.. Randolph was opened at
Roanoke, his late residence on Friday last,
by Judge Leigh, in the presence of Judge
Tucker and one or two other gentlemen.
The following arc the principal if not the on
~ devises.
To Henry St. George Tucker, President
OF the Court of Appeals of Virginia, ten thou
sand dollars
To Judge Leigh of Halifax, ten thousand
dollars.
To Judge Leiyh's son, John Randolph
Leigh, small boy, five thousand dollars.

some plate and a horse or two
The remainder of his estate-ands, ne
groes, &c. to the son of the niece of Mrs. Bry-
ant, OF Gloucester, daughter of John Coalter,
Esq.
Judge Leigh and Judge Tue ker are the ex-
! ecutors This will was made subsequent to
his return from Russia, and was dated in
January, 1882.
i Our infoi mant says that he has not himself
seen the will, but that he gives us the report
believed at Charlotte Court House. This
will will be offered for probate at the next
Charlotte Court 1t is the same that was
left in Judge Leigh's possession. An ex-
animation is yet to be made among Mr. Ran
hoI'i pllNdte papers.
The name of our correspondent and his Of
fetal situation at Charlotte Court House in
! duce us to place the utmost confidence in the
correctness of the statement.
Mr.. Rondolph, it is said here, has left two
other wills; one dated in 1882, by which he
directed the manumssion of his slaves-and
, another in March, 1882. The former of
= these, is the one of which he was understood

 Summer's gone! There when my bruised heart feeleths And the pale moon her face reteaieth' DarkIym my Ioolslep s;ealeth
 To weep alone. Hour afier hour [ wander,
 By men unseen And sadly my wrang thoughts ponder
 On what hdth been, Summer's gone! There in our green bowers Long ago, ' Our path through the tangled noWeTs
 Treading slow; Oft hand in hand enfwiOing--. on side by side reclining We've watched it's crimson shining The sunset glow. Dimly the sun now burneth
 For me alone: Spring afier spring returneth,
 Thou art gone,
 Summers gone! Still on my warm cheek playetE The restless breeze: Still in it's freshness sfrayeih
 Between the trees. Still the blue slreamlet gnsheih- Still the broad river russietls--- Still the calm silence hnshett
 The hearts disease: But who shall bring our meetings
 Back again What shall recall thy greetings--
 Loved in vain! Summers gone!
