BENJAMIN Franklin.

George Bancroft, Esq, in lecture before the
New York Historical Society, reported in the
Times, pays eloquent tribute to the philoso-
pher :-"Not the half of Frankln's merits have
been told. He was the true father of t. Amer
lean Union. 1t was he who went forth to lay
the foundation of that great design at Albany
and in New York he lifted up his voice. Here
among US he appeared the apostle of the
Union. 1t was Franklin who suggested the
Congress of 1774, and but for his wisdom, and
the confidence that wisdom, inspired, it is mat
ter of doubt whether that Congress would have
taken effect 1t was Franklin who suggested
the bond of the Union which binds these States
from Florida to Maine. Franklin the great
est diplomatist of the eighteenth century. He
never spoke word too soon he never spoke
word too much he never failed to speak the
right word at the right season"

The Concord Democrat tell. the following

The Concord Democrat tells the following
story:
Gen. Pierce, the President elect, few days
since, received a suspicious looking box, per
Chensy's Express from the West. Snpposing
from his exalted position that some wicked Whig
or, ''fanatical abolitionists" might be plotting
his destruction, be very naturally regarded this
as an internal machine intended TO land him in
glory before his time. Not feeling any great
partiality for such an apotheosis, he ordered
this Pandora's box to be slowed away IN the
barn, ''unsight, unseen" and strictly forbade
any one to go near it. Thus it remained some
days, until one Sunday, when nobody was at
home save Mr.. W, the Generals boarding mas
ter, who being exercised thereto by courageous
and laudable curiosity, determined to solve the
''infernal mystery" Accordingly seizing long
handled axe, and placing himself at rational
distance, he hurled the iron weapon with full fu-
ry into the box. After waiting in breathless
expectation for the s1Machine' to explode, Mr.
w, approached it and discovered (horTibie fictu)
two brace of remarkably fat ducks and
hauneh of remarkably fat yenson, sent to the
President elect by an admiring friend in Cincin-
natl, with a note accompanying, desiring to bere
membered in the division of the spoiis We
need only add that the only thing ''infcrnaP'
about the machine" was an odorous smell
for which the reyerent disciple of His Holiness
was in way responsible.

A Suspicious Traveller.

tWe copy an amusing passage from Grace
Greenwood's last letter -''In the evening, we
run down to Marseilles by the railway. Our
party filling carriage, with the exception of
one seat we amused ourselves, as we approach
ed Marseiles, by manufacturing another pas
senger out of our extra wraps. Stufing an
overcoat with shawls and umbrellas, we fashion
ed portly little gentleman, whom we made to
fecline in a corner, grasping walking stick,
and with his face shaded by broad-brimmed
hat. When the ticket-master came we had the
satisfaction of seeing our foolish little joke sue
ceed beyond our proudest hopes After receiv-
ing and counting our tickets, he looked hard at
the quiet little gentleman, and said, rather impa
tiently. eMonsiur rotre billet !" IN dort Monsieur,
said one of u.s. So, without further ceremony,
he seized the obvious traveller by the arm, and
shook him into shawls and umbrellas. amid un-

Rigotry.

Philips, the Irish orator, in one of his speech
es. gives a most vivid personifcation of Bigotry.
1t is as follows:
Bieotry has no head, and cannot think she
has no heart and cannot feel when she moves
it is in wrath her prayers are curses her
communion is death ; her vengeance is eternity;
her decalogue is written in the blood of her VIC
tim if she stoops for a moment from her infer
nal flight il is upon some kindred rock to whet
her fang for keener rapiue, and replume her
wing for more sanguinary desperation.

MT. webster and the Farmer.

Some years since Mr.. Webster started off from

and lust then he met the own of the farm,
whose land the stream ran through. g Good

here?" '.Well," says the farmer, ''some people
fish here, but don't know what they do get"
sI'n throw my line in,'' says Webster Sc and see
what there is. Webster walked the banks of
the stream trying his luck, and the old farmer
followed him. Soon Webster remarked, g ou

farmer, ..that amt the worst of it" Fishing
still further along Webster says. '.You seem to
have plenty of mosquitoes here. Eyes" he
replied, ssthat amt the worst of it." Webster
still kept throwing his line into the deep POOLS

eyes" says the farmer, "and that amt the worst
of it" Mr. Webster getting somewhat discour-
agei in a hot August day, bitten by mosquitoes,
scratched by briars and not raising single fish,
dropped his rod and said g he didn't believe
there was any trout here. ."-'-And that amt the
worst of it," says the farmer. "lFell, says Mr.
Webster, 81 would like to know ahat the 'corst
