TRUE INDEPENDENCE.

Soon after his establishment in Phil
adelphia, Franklin was offered piece
for publication in his newspaper. Be-
ing very busy, he begged the gentle
man would leave it for consideration.
The next day the author called and
asked his opinion. of it. "Why SIR"
replied Franklin. 81 am sorry TO say
that thinkit highly scurrilous and de-
famatory. But being at a loss on ac-
count OF my poverty whether to re-
Ject it or not, | thought | would put it
to this issue--at night when my work
was done, bought two-penny loaf,
on which, with mug of water, sup
ped heartily, and then wrapping my
self IN my great coat, slept very sound
ly on the floor till morning; when an
other loaf and mug of water afforded
me pleasant breakfast. Now, sir.
since can live very comfortably in
this manner, why should prostitute
my press for personal hatred or party
passion, for a more luxurious living 2
One cannot read this anecdote of this
American sage without thinking of So
crates reply to King Archelaus, who
had pressed him to give up preaching
IN the streets of Athens, and come and
live with him in his splendid courts
" Neal, please your majesty, is half
penny peck at Athens and water
can get for nothing"
Cannot the Journal learn a lesson
from the above But we suppose, it
would fly off in tangent because

Pills AMI MATRIMONIAL

PILLS AND MATRIMoNY.-Ad day or
two since, clergymen of this city was
called upon to tie a young and loving
couple in the silken cords of matrlmo-
ny. As soon as the benedlctlon was
pronounced, the groom, who is one of
our most respectable phys clans, step

There are two lives in each of us, glld-
ing on at the same time, and scarcely
connected with each other - the life of
our actions, and the life of our minds !;
the external and the inward history the
movements of the frame; the deep work
ings of the heart. History reveals mems
deeds, mems outward character, but mol
themselves. There is a secret itself that
hath its life, rounded by a dream, I'M

WIRE FENCE.-This mode of fence is
becoming quite common, as we learn from
various sources, in the northern part of
Illinois. We hear of many pieces of if
at various places near Rock River-one
of them on the farm of John Shillaber,
Esq, in Ugle county, being about two
miles in length. The cost generally, as
near as we can learn, is about % cts. per
rod. 1t is said to answer a most ADM
rable purpose against all stock but swine.
Cattle and horses particularly, after hav.
ing their noses well sawed bv it, can
scarcely be got near it again. A porta-
BILE fence might easily be made of this ma
terla.
Will some one give US Il particular ac-
count OF the wire fence !-Prairie Far

To CUT GLASS WITH A PIECE OF IRoN-
Draw with a pencil on paper any pattern
to which you would have the glass formed;
place the pattern under the glass, holding
both together in the left hand, for the glass
must not rest on any plain surface.) then
take common spike or similar piece of
iron, heat the point of it to redness, and
apply 1t to the edge of the glass draw the
iron slowly forward, and the edge of the
glass will crack continue moving the iron
slowl y over the glass tracing the pattern,
and the chlnk in the glass will follow at
the distance of about half an inch, in ev-
cry direction according to the motion of
the iron. 1t may sometimes be found re-
qulsite, however, especially in formiI g
corners, to apply wet finger to the OPP
posite side of the glass. Tumblers and
other glasses may be cut or divided very
fancifully by similar means. The iron
must be re-heatcd as often as the glass
ceases to follow.-Scientifc Mechanic.
