FRANKLIN ON sPELLING.-Dr. Franklin
says in one of his letters:--You need not be
concerned in writing to me about your bad
spelling; it is generally the best, as conform
ing to the sound Of the letters. To give YOU
an instance, a gentleman received a letter,
in which were these words: "Not finding
Brown at hom, delivered your mesag to his
W." The gentleman called his wife to help
him read it. Between them they picked out
all but the yf, which they could not under
stand. The lady proposed calling her cham
Der maid, "because Betty" says she "has
the best knack of reading and spelling of any
one know Betty came and was sur
prised that neither of them could tell what
VI was. 'Why,' says she, "gf spells wife
what else can it spelll" And indeed, it
is much better as well as shorter method
than double you .fe, which, in reality spells
double wifcU.

ARTSTOCRACY.

CAsiMIR PERrER, on being called an

SEES, replied, "My only arisiocracy is the
superiority which industry, frugality, perse-
verance, and intelligence will always assure
to every man in a free state of society.
belong only to those privileged classes which
you may all belong to in your turn. They
are not privileges created for us, but created
by us. Our wealth is our own; We have
made it. Our case is our own; we have
gained it by the sweat of our brow, or by the
labor of our minds. Our position in society
is not conferred upon us, but purchased by
ourselves-with our own intellect, application,
zeal, patience and industry. you remain
inferior to us, it is because you have not the
intellect or the industry, the zeal or the sobri-
ETY., the patience or the application, neces-
sary to your advancement.
This is not our fault, but your own. You
wish to become rich, as some men do to be-
come wise but there is no royal road to
wealth any more than there is to knowledge.
You sigh for the ease and rcpose of wealth,
but you are not willing to do that which is
necessary to procure them. The husband
man who will not till his ground shall reap
nothing but thistles and briers. You think
the commodities in human society are useless
and misdlrectedifyo do not become wealthy
and powerful by the changes; but what right
have you to expect, you idlers and drones in
the hive, that you shall always be fed on the
honey and sweets of life! What right have
you, who do nothing for yourselves, your
families, your communities, your arrondisse-
ments, departments, your country or your
kind, to imagine that you will be selected by
them for their favor, their confidence, and
their reward
I am not an aristocrat in that sense Of the
term in which it may be applied in absolute
governments or under imperial rule; but it,
by an aristocrat, you mean man who has
earned his promotion by his labor, his honors
by his tolls, and his wealth by his industry
oh, then, indeed, l am an aristocrat-and
please God, may always remain so. The
distinctions in human society displease you
because you have not the talent or the indus
try to amend your own position. You are
too idle to labor, and too proud to beg, but
will endeavor TO take care that you shall no

THE BURNING MOUNTAIN.

This coal mine, which we have frequently
noticed, and which took fire about eighteen
months since, continues burning with renew
ed force. There are now three distinct cra-
tiers, varying IN diameter from thirty to sew
enty five feet, and each at a depth of from
Is to 25 feet below the surface. The heat
from the cratcrs is extremely intense, from
which issue immense volumes ofsmoke, and
the smell ofsulphur is any thing but agreea-
BILE. The rumbing noise would make a
visitor think Of earthquakes, and his examin.
alton would consequently be made with a
very careful step. The vegetation for a
great distance round has been completely
destroyed; and It's scared appearance gives
dcsolate, and adds to the terrific character
ofthe work Of destruction. We canno, con.
lecture when the fire will stop. or how !,
may be quenched by the management of the
proprietors but it is an extraordinary phe.
nomenon. and as such is well worth a yis;,
from the scientific and curious.- Emporv.u

AN ELOQUENT PASSAGE.

The New York Knckerbocker gives the fol.
lowing as an extract Of sermon delivered some
time since by Edward Erving-that brilliant
but transient light, who "fel like meteor from
the bosom of splendor into the grave of thick
night-like an eagle smitten down in the too
near approach of the SUM-" The correspondent
who furnished it, heard the discourse delivered
at Irving's chapel, when he was in the zenith
of his gory--and declared that the appearance
and manner of the speaker would never fade
from his memory-his large flashing eye tina,
seemed to burn in his noble front-the black
flowing hair that swept his broad shoulders, ant
by contrast, lit up his pale features with the
CHASTITY hue of deatl-his long arm and atenu
ated hand, employed in action, graceful yet en-
ergetic, as to have the appearance OF throwing
his words and the burning thoughts they EN-

ON BEING IN DEBT.

To be out of debt is accounted part of
happiness. Debts haunt the mind con-
versation about justice troubles it, the sight of
a debtor fills it with confusion; even the
sanctuary IS not place ofrefugc. The bor-
rover is the servant Of the lender. A life at
another mans table is not TO be accounted
life. 1t is mean TO fattcr the rich. 1t is hui
initiating to be the object of pity. To be
the slave of undttainabe desires, is to be dcs-
picable and wrctched. Independence, so
essential to the virtues, and pleasures of a
man, independence can only be maintained
by setting bounds to your desires, and owing
no man any thing. a habit of boundlcss ex-
pensc undermines and destroys the virtues in
IA mind where they seemed to dwell 1t be-
comes difficult and at last impossible to pay
punctually.
When man of sensibility thinks of the
low rate at which his word must hcnccfor,h
pass, he IS little in his own eyes, but difficult
ties prompt him to wrong ms creditors with
out blush. How desolatc and woful does
the mind now appear, now that the fence of
truth is broken down. Friendship is never
dissolved.
| Tie felt it once he now insinuates himself
by means of sentiments and professions which
were once sincere. He seizes the momcn,
OF unsupported affection, to ensnare the
friends OF his youth, borrowing money which
they must hereafter answer for. At this rate
he sells the virtuous pleasures of loving and
being loved. He swallows up the provision,
OF aged parents, and the portions of sister.
and brethren. The loss oftruth is followed
by the loss of humanity. His calls are still
'mportunate, he proceeds to walk and walks
