Dr.. FRANKLIN ON SpELL1Ne.-Dr.
Franklin says, in one Of his letters,-"You
need not be concerned, in writing to me,
about bad spelling, for, in my opinion, what
is called bad spelling is generally the best,
as conforming to the sound of the letter.
To give you an instance, gentleman re-
ceived letter, in which were these words:
"Not finding Brown at HON, delivered
my MEssEe to his YF." The gentleman
called his wife to help him read it. Be-
tween them they picked out all but the YF,
which they could not understand. The
lady proposed calling her chambermaid;
s'because Betty" said she, "has the best
knack of reading bad spelling, of any one
know" Betty came, andwas much surpris-
ed that neither of them could tell what the
syF was. "Why," says she, "yF spells
wife; what else can it spell9" And indeed
it is as much better, as well as shorter
method than DoUBLEYou, I, F, E, which in
reality spells DouBLEwlFE."
