IDLE CURIOSITY CURED.

Weems, in his Life of Franklin, re ates the following. "Ou his first trip by land to see his father in Boston, he was worried almost to death by the abomnable inquisitiveness of the New England tavern-keepers. Neither man nor beast could travel among them in comfort No matter how wet or weary, low hungry or thirsty the poor traveller might be, he was not to expect an atom of refreshments from the silly publicans until their most pestiferous curiosity had been gratifed. And then Job himself could not stand such questions as they would goad him with {; such as where he came from-and where he might be going-and what religion he might be of-and If he was married man-and so on. On one occasion as he alighted from his horse, he desired the tav. ern-keeper to collect his whole family, as he had something casAy important to communi- cate. All being assembled and wondering what he had to say, he thus expressed himself.
 My name is Benjamin Franklin. am a printer by trade. live, when at home. in Philadelphia. In Boston have 8 father. a good old man who taught me, when was boy, to read my book and say my prayers. I have ever since thought it my duty to visit and pay my respects to such father and am on that errand to Boston now. This is all that can at present recollect of myself that I think worth telling you. But if you think of anything else you wish to know about me- l beg you to out with it at once, that may answer, and so give you an opportunity to get me something to eat for long to be on my journey that may return as soon as possible to my family and business, where I most of all delight to be-" Forty thousand sermons a. gainst idle curiosity could hardly have driven it so effectually out of New England, as did this little squib of ridicule.

How TO RAISE EARLY ToMAroEs. .-About the first of April, take few large turnips and cut out the hearts of them, to form 6 sort of cup. Fill the cavities wit h earth, and plant two or three tomato seeds in each. When the seeds have we'll sprouted, pull up all but the healthiest plant in each turnip, and let those that remain stand where they will have the benefit of the sun !; the plant will grow very thrifty-the decaying turnips furnishing it's food. When the weather becomes sniIi- ciently warm, set the turnips in we'll prepared soil, not less than three feet apart, make lath frames to keep the vines from the ground, and keep the soil we'll hilled up around them, and you will have crop that will astonish the na- tives. The advantage consists in getting them started early without setting them back by transplanting. -l--1

A gentleman from the country sojourning in New Haven for the purpose of seeing the ele- phant'' met charming young lady in the streets few evenings since and accompanied her home-at her pressing invitation. He passed the evening with her, and when he left gave her his purse to keep with all his cash $25-in it. He was afraid he should lose it himself. In the morning he called for it, when the lady denied any knowledge of any such trust r and she further said. that if he did not
 immediately leave the house, she would call an officer and have him arrested. Sadly and si- lently he took his hat and departed. The only remark that he has volunteered, in regard to the matter, is, that " he did think she loved him, for she seemed very fond of him, but he was deceived, cruelty and basely deceived"

POINTED PREACHING Father Moody was an eccentric man. He had in his congrega- tion Colonel Ingraham wealthy farmer, who had kept back his large stock of corn from the market in hopes of raising the price. The pastor heard of it, and resolved to make public attack upon the transgressor. One Sunday he read for his text, He that with holdeth the corn, the people shall curse him but blessings shall be upon the head of him that scllcth it." Prov xii. 25 Col. Ingra- ham could not but know to whom reference was made. but he held up his head and faced his pastor with look of stolid unconscious. ness. Father Moody went on with very strong remarks, became still warmer, and touched the s colonel still more closely, who. however; still held up his head, apparently determined not to feel. At last the preacher lost all pa- tience, and cried out, " Col. lmgraham, yoS knoo Mat / mean y0u ; schy don't yOs hang dcacn your Aszd 2"

"Good bye," replied the unhappy, crazy


 The blacksmith took out his handkerchief to hold the head of the pipe, and taking the pipe quietly out of the fire, he drew the rcd hot stem around the mans throat, from ear to ear. making horrible wound, enough to make any man believe his head was half off.
 The frantic man sprung out of his chair, and roared out murder l" at the top of his voice. He stopped and put his hands to his throat, and thought, indeed, his throat was cut wide and deep. He sprang up nearly five feet into the air, and yelled horribly, exclaim- ing, You fools, you have !-I never thought you would You have cut my throat He tore the handkerchief from his eyes and ran to the looking-glass to assure himcelf of the reality of the dreadful deed There was no longer any room for doubt He was despe- rate.
 The company roared and laughed, until they had to lie down and laugh and the poor drunkard beloved and stamped around until he sobered himself and then he disappeared.
 Five years passed away. Tine blacksmith Was, one morning, taking walk a few miles into the country, when man in wagon met him, and stopping his team, accosted him and asked him his name, saying he remembered his face. The blacksmith was the man.
 You remember" said the man in the wag- on, "the circumstance of the man with the delirium tremens having his throat cut with a red hot tobacco pipe? I am that person And you are the best friend ever had in my life, you cured me have never been drunk since. My farm is paid for and in good cu- tivation l shall be real happy to receive a visit from you. Good bye"

Stllling the breathless messenger, he sat quietly through the service, and when they were end ed, passed out, and mounting the great stone block in front of the meeting house, beckoned to the people to stop.

LOOKING AT THE BRIGHT SIDE

Here is letter from wife in Massachu- sets to her husband in California. She don't intend going through the world with the blues My dear husband As it is now sometime since You left for California, I sup pose that you would be glad to hear how we are getting alorg in your absence. am hap py to say that we are enjoying pretty good health on the whole. Just at present two of the boys have got the srall pox. Amanda Jane has got the typhus fever. Betsey is down with the measles. Samuel got hooked by COW the other day, and little Peter has just chopped of three of his fingers with Q hatchet. It is a mercy he didn't chop them all off. With these trifing exceptions we are all well, and getting along nicely. You need not be all anxious about us. almost forgot to say that Sarah Matilda eloped last week with tin pedlar. Poor grill She's been waiting for the last ten years for a chance, and I'm glad she's married at last. She need not have taken the trouble so elope, though, for l am sure was glad enough to have her go. She was 8 great eater, and find baked beans don't go off near as fast as they did. The way that girl would dip into pork and beans was 9 caution to the rest of the family. The COW took it into her head yesterday to run away which was very fortunate, I am sure, for tue barn caught fire last night and was consumed. was in hopes that the house would go, too, for it's very inconvenient; but the wind was the wrong way, so it didn't re- ceive much injury. Some boys broke into the orchard the other day, and stripped all the fruit trees. am very glad of it, for if they hadn't. presume the children would have made themselves i'll by eating too much fruit. Hoping you enjoy yourself in California, as well as we do at home, I remain your affec- tionate wife, fsdf
