Franklin on these Modern TOrys


You are desired to read and ponder the
following remarks, made by that philos-
opher, patriot, statesman anG sage
BEN jamin Franklin-during the discus.
sion that lranspired, in the formation OF
the Constitution of the United States:
"He should be very sorry to see anys
thing like illiberalily inserted in the
Constitution, The propls in Europe
are friendly to this country. Even in
the countries with which we have late.
ly been at war, we have now, and had
during the war, a great many friends,
not only among the people at large; but
in both houses Of Parliament. In euerv
other country in Europe all the people
are our friends. We found, in the
course of the Revolution, that many
strangers served us faithfully, and that
many nGtipe8 took part against their
country. When foreigners, after look
ing about for some other country in
which they can obtain more happiness,
give preference to ours, it is proof OF
attachment which ought to excite our
confidence and Affection"

Worth Knowing,

From report Of :he Director of the
mint az Philadelphia, we gathes the
subjOined information respecting the
value of foreign coins. The value ol
the coins Of other countries is fxed al a
certain figure By an act of Congress,
but the Director Of the mint receives
some oil them al premium, payable in
the U. s. coin, as followes:
A five Franc piece is worth 81 22
A dollar Of Central America llS
A dollar of Bolivia 90
A dollar of Mexico 1872
Spanish pillar dollar 90
The Director of the min. recommends
Congress to repeal the law in relation
to their value. Now is the time for
those having any of said coins boarding
up to send on to the mint. They could
send them in charge Of our merchants
who are now preparing to start East, or
they could be transported BY the Express
co mpany, OF which there is an agent in
Zanesville. Either way it could be
done ata trifling expense. Send them
along while al premium. and get good
Anne rican coin in their stead Morgan

Edmund Lafayette, grandson Of the Marquis
De Lafayette, so distinguished the brave and
generous champion Of American Independence,
has been spending few days in Delaware with
the Du Points, who were the early friends of the
General. The Wilmington Journal says:
In company with few friends, he has visited
all the places of interest in the vicinity of his
earliest visits being to the scene of the battle at
Chadd Ford, in which his ancestor first shed his
blood in our cause. The verv spot upon which
the General was standing when he was wounded,
was pointed out by some Of the old residents.
Mr.. Lafayette is about % years of age, of fine
some resemblance to his grandfather, though a
much handsomer man.

DECK on THE OUTWARD BOUND.
FROM ELIZA COOKS JOURNAL.

How seldom dream ofthe mariners grave,
Far down by the coral strand;
How little we think of the wind and the wave,
When all we love are on land
The hurricane comes and The hurricane goes,
And little heed do we take,
Though the tree may snap as the tempest blows
Aid the walls of our homestead shake
But the northeast wind tells different tale,
With voice of fearful sound
When a loved one is undersa closereei'd sail,
On the deck of an ''outward bound"
How wistful then we look on the night,
As the threai'ning clouds go by;
And The winds gel up and the last faint light
Is dying away IN the sky,
How we listen and gaze with silent lip,
And Judge by the Bonded tree,
How the same wild wind might toss the ship,
And rouse the mighty sea
Ah sadly then do meet the day,
When signs of storms found,
And pray for the loved one far away.
On The deck of an :" outward bound"
There is one that | cheris he'd when hand in hand
We roved DER The lowland lea
And thought that my love for that on the land
Was earnest as love could be;
But, now that he hath gone out on the tide,
And think of the waters deep and wide,
As bask on the flowers on shore
! have watched the wind, | have watched the
stars,
And shrunk from the tempest sound;
For my heart-strings wreathed with the slender
spars,
That carry me " outward bound"
] have slept when the zephyrs forget 10 creep,
And the sky without frown,
But started soon from that fretful sleep,
With the dream Of a ship going down.
] have sat in the field when the corn was in
shock
nd the reaneris hook was bright
But my fancy conjured the breaker and rock,
In the dead of moonless night.
O, will never measure affection again,
While treadng earths aowery mound,
But wait till the loved one is far DER the MAN.
On the deck Of an " outward bound"

Private Theatricals.-Eight colored persons,
including two females were arrested, several
nights ago, by the police, charged with violating
the statute restraining unlawful gatherings of that
class of our population. 1t appeared, during the
examination al the guard-house, that they had
been indulging in private theatricals, on Capitol
hil before a sable auditory but the officers Of the
law had no for such performances, and there
fore brought them 10 an abrupt conclusion, con-
trary 10 the programme. The distinguished name
OF Andrew Jackson did not protect the possessor
Of it from the rude hand OF arrest The scene at the
guard-house was somewhat in the character of a
farce. far as the sons and daughters OF Thespis
were concerned, and they were released from
custody on the payment, each, of Sc i4-the fine
and costs. "Othello's occupations gone"

Wife-whipping.-On Thursday, an individual
was sent to Jail for whipping his wife. This pun
ishment is not sufficient. The law ought 10 be
amended so that such characters should be sub
ject TO the LASH the cuts well laid on and the poor
apology for man then placed in cage, at some
prominent point on Pennsylvania avenue, for
general observation! Women have trials and
troubles enough, without being brutally assaulted
by those who have -oemnly promised TO protect,

in health.
