Below will be found few selec-
tons from "Poor Richards Almanac"
the author of which is generally
known to be Benjamin Franklin:
Take this remark from Richard poor and lame,
Whateer begins in anger ends in shame.
An egg to-day is better than a hen
tomorrow.
If pride leads the van, poverty
brings up the rear.
God heals, and the doctors take the
fees.
Mary's mouth costs her nothing, for
she never opens it but at another's ex-
pense.
He that can travel well afoot, keeps
good horse.
The worst wheel Of cart makes
the most noise.
He that falls in love with himself
will have no rivals.
Tart words make no frieuds; a
spoonful Of honey will catch more
flies than gallon Of vinegar.
Beware of little expenses; small

The PuNcTuAL MAN.-Mr. Higgins
was very punctual man in all his
transactions through life. He amassed
"a large fortune by untiring industry
and punctuality; and at the advanced
ago of ninety years was resting quietly
on his bed and calmly waiting TO be
called away. He had deliberately
made almost every arrangement for
his decease and burial. His pulse
grew fainter, and the light of life
seemed just Pickering in its socket
when one of his sons remarked -
Father, you will probably live but a
day or two: is it not we'll for you to
name your bearers 2" "To be sure,
my SON." said the dying man. "It
is well thought of, and will do it
now" He gave the names of six, the
usual number, and sank back ex-
hausted upon his pillow. A CLEAN of
thought passed. over his withered fea-
lures like a ray of light, and he rallied
once more. "My son read me the list.
Is the name of Virgins thereY" at
is father" "Then strike it OFF, said
he emphatically; :" for he was never
punctual was never anywhere in
season and he might hinder the pro-
cession whole hour?"
