Franklin's Toast,

Long after Washington's victory over thu
French and English had made his name familiar
to all Europe, DR.. Franklin had CHANGED to dine
with the English and French Ambassadors, whsa
the following toasts were drank
By the English Ambassador-
''EEGLASD-The Sun whose bright beams en-
Tighten and fructify the remotest corners Of ths
earth.'
The French Ambassador, glowing with nation
81 pride, but too polite TO dispute the previous
toast, drank
"FRAHCE-The Noon whose mild, steady and
cheering rays the delight Of al nations, con-
soling them in their darkness, and making their
dreariness beautiful"
DIR. Franklin then arose, and with his usual
simplicity said
''GEoRGE WAsmSGToN-The Joshua who COM
manded the Sun and Eioon TO stand sall and they
obeyed him."

z FaR Hints to q Father,

Fas4; you have q son, darling son. He has
facu.Es er good and for evil, and they must act.
Each catabie of such intense action that both
cannot act on q level, one must be- in some mea-
sure 5uhservient. Your son is now young; he
has nc habits, no principles, no character. These
must DC formed and you have been appointed by
Providence to superintend and assist in this for
NATION This you must do, whether you will OF
not. The nature of the relation existing between
you and your son renders your non-participa-
ton in the formation of his character iRpossi-
be.
Toward what course of life would you direct
his innocent footsteps? What would you have
him hccome2 A man in form only indepen-
dent cry of good, with feeble, vavering energy :;
his selfrespect mere low, disgusting pride
You csn easily train him for this, as thousand
have r.,d are being trained. unless his mind is
very fer above the commonality. Treat him as
machine, impress it upon him. that he is q mere
tool, and he will soon become such. Make him
keenly feel his inferority check all his aspirings
and Ike sapling bent to the ground, he will
soon learn to grow downward. But if you wish
him t. become strong-minded, truth-loying,
whole souled man, treat him as man is to be
as an equal. Draw cut his better nature:
strengthen all aspirings for that which is high
and good. Teach him to curb his strong pas
sions, and to attain that selfcontrol which ena-
bes uan to influence his fellow-man. Let him
feel that he has the germ of within him,
which needs only right cultivation to make it
serviceab!e to him and mankind.
Teach your son at all times to bring his actions
and motives to the standard of right and right
only. Be sure that he feels confidence in you as
sympathizing friend in all cases. Never ele-
vate yourself or depress him so that he can only
appro.ch you with an effort. He has his world
of joys and sorrows, hopes and fears, which al
though small TO you, all TO him. Encourage
5yi..9s -setion ~pl1-e bc'.re hin s9me desirable
objects which he may procure by selfdenial and
extra exeI,ion. Man needs something for which
to labor why not he Let him find by expert
ment that there is something for him to gain by
right, or lose By wrong, and an inducement to
virtuods actions will be given him. Teach him
to think correctly for himself judge for himself,
while young and under your care, and he will
feel his responsibility, and will not be SO
easily enticed and deceived when thrown upon
his resources. But above all, carly teach him to
look upon God as his Father, and heaven as his
home, and the chief object of his life here to DO
good. Early teach him by precept and example
to love the Lord and keep his commandments,
and it shall be well with thee and thy house in
future generations.

Facts fer mechanics.

St. Paul was mechanic q tent maker Our
Saviour was mechanic a carpenter. The great
Architect of the universe, in the mechanism of
the heavens and the earth, with its productions,
animate or inanimate, displays power and skill
which human hands and human wisdom may
attempt to initiate, but which they can never
equal to approach.
Next to farmers, mechanics are the most nu-
merous and the most important class of the COM
munity. Whatever promotes their interests, Of
course promotes the interests ofthe public. They
like farmers, have great facilities and great in
duccments to become men of science and sound
knowledge. Every mechanic, in every opera
ton, brings into use some principle of science /;
which principle it is, of course, his interest and
his convenience to understand.
Every apprentice boy, no matter how assiduous
OF how rigorous his employment, if he spends
few moments daily in useful reading and other
modes of Improvement, is certain to be a man of
future infirle:=ee ~a -eeTeetahility That appren-
tee who seeks most assiduously the interests Of
his employer, promotes most efectualiy his own
interests :. as character is the best capital q
volIng man can have for the commencement in
business.
Mechanics, like farmers, make safe and en-
lightened statesmen. They nre well educated in
schools of experience. Who can be better quail
fed to make laws for aiding these operations OF
business than those engaged in these operations!
In 1895, few farmers in small village in
Massachusetts,, organized society entitled the
&" Mibury Branch of the American Lyceum, " its
object, the mutual improvement of its members
and the q diffusion acknowledge over the globe >
From that humble but dignifed origin has arisir
/ the general institution oflyceums, now in almost
every section Of the country, and many Islands o
the Atiantic and Pacific.
1t is evident that if farmers and mechanics
throughout the country should enlist in earnes
in the great work of selfeducation, they nigh
reform and perpetuate our republican institution
AID hand down pure Christian republcanism t
posterity. Without that step, it is equally evi
dent that though the American Republic may re
tain its name republicanism, especially in Amer
icn, will soon be known only among the thing
that were.

EBENSBURG, THURSDAY, MARCH 80 1854.

Of the impression that war with Russia will
necessarily produce scarcity of bread corn in
England we think that we have shown that such
result by no means follows, and that any at
tempt raise prices, under this plea will merely
be the act of spectators and jobbers. Fortu-
natey England is perfectly independent in all its
resources and it is proud and satisfactory po-
sition for country to be placed in, that, while it
does egeTything in its power to eschew war, it is
always prepared to meet it without apprehension
for the consequences.

In moment the attention was changed to the
most intense curiosity, when Louis Napoleon was
observed to aceost the lady and remain some mo-

Burr, formerly Vice President Of the United
States, with whom Louis Napoleon was on terms
of intimacy while in that country, and at the sad
of fifteen years he had recognised the widow OF
his old American friend" This probably alludes

FIRST MARRIAGE OF GEORGE IV.-The Princes
passion for Mrs. Fitzherbet, according to Lord
Holland Memoirs, was very strong before they
were united. We are told that he frequently
came to converse with Mr.. and Mrs Fox on the
subject: that he cried by the hour that he tes-
titled the sincerity and violence of his passion
and his despair by the most extrayagant expres-
sions and actions-rollng on the floor, striking
his forehead, tearing his haIr, falling into hys-
terics, and swearing that he would abandon the
country, forego the crown, sell his Jewels and
plate, and scrape together a competence to fly
with the object ofhis affections to America.
Mr.. Fox, in December, 1875, wrote to III.
Prince to dissuade him from his union, pointing
out the consequences which must ensue from
such step. The Prince replied in a letter. be-
ginning MY dear Charles" and assured Mr..
Fox that he might make himself easy on tina,
matter, and that that the world will now soon
be convinced that there not only is, but never
was, any grounds for these reports, which oflate
have been so inadvertently circulated"
With respect to the performance of the core
mony, we are told that it was the Princes own
earnest and repeated solicitations, not at Mrs.
Fitzherbert's request, that any ceremony was re-
sorted TO. She knew it 10 be invalid in law, she
thought it nonsense, and told the Prince SO. II
was performed by an English clergyman. A GER
ticate was signed by him, and attested by two
witnesses, both Roman Catholic gentlemen, and
one near relation Of Mrs. Fitzherbert, Mr.. Er-
rington.

knecdote Of Finn,

Finn was once witness for the prosecution In

A WALNING TO JEALOUS HUsBAHDs.-A yeung

the attention of Others towards her, without
cause, of course, and started off and travelled
some two or three hundred miles, and visited
several hospitals for the purpose of catching ths
small pox, so that he might give 1t to his wife,
thinking if she should become pretty well pitted
upon her face it would have a tendency 70 kesp

Made the white, the red man free,
Gave the Indians home to be
Old the forrest wilds.

Here our happy wigwams made;
Here our fathers graves are laid;

Is pure and just in yonder sky;
Will not then his searching eye
See the Indians wrong?
