LIFE As IT'S.

wreck of rich mans son. He was per,

went and came as he pleased, and spent his
time in the qualification Of spontaneous pas,
sions, desires, and inclinations, with no one
to check him, when his course was evil, or
encourage him in the ways of wisdom. His
father was rich, and for that reason the son
thought he had nothing to do, no part in
honest labor to perform,
Well, the father died, and the son inherit.
ed portion Of his abundant wealth, and
having never earned money by honest toll,
he knew not the value of It, and having no
knowledge Of business, he knew not how to
use it, so he gave loose reins to his appetites
and passions, and ran at rapid pace down
the broad road to dissipation. Now be,
hold him-a broken down man, bowed with
infrmity, mere wreck of what he was,
both physically and mentally. His money
is gone, and he lives on the charity of those
whose hearts are open with pity. Such is
the fate of hundreds and thousands that are
born to fortune.
And there, on the opposite side, In that
comfortable mansion, lives the son of a. poor

Benjamin Franklin.

The history of this great man is very
interesting, and very instructive, for it
shows how a poor boy, by diligence, hon
esty, and good behavior, may grow up
rich. useful, respected, and happy.
Franklin was born at Boston, on the
18th of January, 1905, and was the young
est but two of seventeen children. He
was first apprenticed to tallow-chandler;
but he left this employment, and learned
the printing business. He established
himself in Philadelphia for time, and
then he went to England, where he sup
ported himself by his trade and at the
same time acquired a great deal Of knowl-
edge.
He returned to America and set up the
business of printer. He devoted him-
self with great industry to his employ
ment, and soon won the confidence Of all
around him. He became the publisher of
a paper; and, as lie had an excellent tai
ent for writing. composed for it many in
teresting articles. Thus the paper ac-
quired celebrity, and Franklin Aourished
While in the midst of business, he loved
study, and not only learned the French
language, but made himself acquainted
with history, science, and other matters.
When the troubles with England were
approaching, he was sent to that country
as an agent for Pennsylvania, and he was
afterwards intrusted with the concerns of
other colonies. The business thus conf
ded to him, he managed with great ability
and faithfuness, and thus the eyes of his
countrymen were turned towards him, as
one upon whom they could rely in the
hour of trial.
Franklin returned to America, and filled
many Offices Of high trust, and thus ac-
quired the respect and love of every body.
Nor was his whole time devoted to mere
active business. The subject of electrici-
ty engaged his attention; and at last he
set a kite flying during a thunderstorm,
and, placing key near the string by
which it was held, he saw small sparks
like lightning, issuing from the key and
giving shocks to his hand. This he pro-
duced by electricity.
This wonderful discovery gave Frank
lin great fame; and when he was after
wards sent to Europe, as ambassador of
the United States, he received great hon
ors. Once he was at the French court,
and being dressed in plain, Quaker-like
clothes, some lady asked

A Dog Story.

Many years ago an English ship lay at
the dock in neighboring city, on board
of which was bull dog. The animal
was so ferocious that he gained an exteng
sive reputation. Chained at the gang
way of the ship, he spent all the liveong
day in the hopeless task of springing at
every person who passed along, either on
pleasure or business. The owner, first
mate of the vessel, would sit for hours and
detail the wonderful deeds of this mighty
dog. Crowds of idlers daily collected
and there stood the hero, or rather there
raved the insane creature of the multitude
each individual INDUCING the vague hope
that he would presently break loose and
pitch into somebody, and thus show his
power.
Among the idlers was an Indian who
occasionally visited the city and made a
few pence by shooting an arrow at pen
MES stuck in the end of stick. Upon
the very appearance Of the Indian the bull
dog was particularly violent, greatly to
the amusement of the fellows, who took a
malicious pleasure in irritating the an
imal. The mate finally interfered, and
told the Indian to go away, lest the dog
might break loose and eat him up. The
Indian not the least alarmed, in broken
English, announced to the crowd that if
the dog was brought down to the ground
and chained to post he would for FIVE
dollars fight the dog with nothing but his
hands and teeth. The money was raised,
and the mate, after expressing much re-
luctance at the idea of having the Indian
killed, brought the dog down from the
ship, and fastened him to a POST. The
Indian put away his bow and arrow, laid
his neck bare, and rolled up his shirt
sleeves. A ring was formed and the bat
tie commenced.
The Indian approached the dog, crawl
ing upon all tours, barking and growing,
as if lie was one himself. The bull dog
meanwhile jumped and foamed at the
mouth, while his eyes beamed living fire
with irritation. The Indian, however
kept up his pantomine, and gradually
brought his face in fearful proximity to
the dogs teeth. The mate now interfered,
for he felt confident that the Indian
would get killed; but the crowd had be-
come excited, and insisted upon seeing
the thing out' A mutual silence ensued
between the combatants, the dog strain
ing his chain in his anxiety to reach the
Indian, until it was straight and solid as
bar ofiron. Suddenly the Indian seized
the bull dogs underlip between his teeth,
and in an instant whirled himself over on
his back. So unexpected was the attack,
and so perfectly helpless was the dog,
with his feet in the air, and his jaw im-
prisoned that he recovered his astonish-
ment only to give forth yells of pain;
whereupon the Indian shook him mo-
ment as cat does mouse, and then let
go his hold The dog, once so savage,
putting his tail between his legs, retreat
ed from his enemy, and screamed with ter
ror to get beyond the reach Of the chain.
For long time after the tussel. his dog
ship was more docile, and invariably skunk
back when anything like an Indian crossed
his path.
