The following from the. pen Of the great
American philosopher, DIR. Franklin, should be
printed in letters of gold and hung up in every
schoolroom, side by side with the usual alb ab
dog-latln, and other nonsense with which our
cbilaren}s minds are crammed, and which seems
to be the rule in our modern system Of tuition.
There will be a time when a prnfessorship of
political economy will be considered as abso.
lutely necessary to every school. But that
time is not yet. AT present we have nothing
but prolusion and shameful waste, on the one
hand, while ahiect poverty, mennness Of spirit,
and Total carelessness, is too much observable
on the othpr. These are the two extremes
which characterize our present false state OF
things in a physical point of view-all laid to
the score of inlse training, from the highest to
the lowest. But hear what " Poor Richard
says 5f ,.-

a great deal more saucy.
3. Silk aud satins, ~scar!ets and %yelvets, nut
out the kitchen fire.
4. Dllige ee is the mother of Good Luck.
5. Pride breakfasted with Plenty, dined
with Poverty, and suppered with %Iniamy.

the prison door.

10. 1t is foolish TO lay out money in the
purchase OF repentance.
20. Buy what thou modest not and it will

"These maAims by DR.. Franklin saws a
contemporary thonSh olleil printed, lose
nothing Of their value by repetition.'
We think so too. Nay more, we think
they are graf gain, aud cannot be too often
repeated dHtil they are engraven upon the

10 PREVENT Turkeys srRAYING FROM HOME.
1t was stated i'll conversation that turkeys will
not leave the yard in which they are put, if a
STRIP Of red flannel IS tied uround The aeing,
long enough to trail on the ground. The re-
ceIpt is simple and easily tried, sud, if effective
wonld prove OF great benefit in removing a
source of muck loss and annoyance to The tur-
key breeder. The vanity of the fowl is pro-
badly affected by this means, as he wouldn't
wish to rnn tide risk of seeing strangers with
such a drag upon his DIGNITY.

THE DESERTED ROAD.

Ancient road, that windst deserted
Through the level of the vale,
Sweeping toward the crowded market
Like a stream without sail!
Standing by thee, | look backward,
And, as in the light OF dreams,
See the years descend and vanish,
Like thy white ly tented teams.
Here stroll along the village,
As in youths departed morn;
But miss the crowded coaches,
And the drivers bugle-horn
Miss the crowd OF jovial teamsters
Filling buckets al the wells,
With their wains from Conestoga,
And heir ocrhestras of Bells.
To the mSssy way.side tavern
Comes the noisy throng no more,
And the faded sign, complaining,
Swings, unnoticed, at the door
While the old, decrepid tollman,
Waiting for the few who pass,
Reads the melancholy story
In the thickly springing grass.
Ancient highway, thou art vanquished!
The usurper OF the vale
Rolls in fiery, iron rattle,
Exultstions on the gale.
Thou art vanquished and neglected;
But the good which thou hast done,
Though by man it be forgotten,
Shall be deathless as the sun.
Though neglected, gray and grassy,
Still pray that my decline
Nav be through as vernsl valleys
And as bIest a calm as thine.
