THE FIDDLER NERO. Nero was a striking
instance that music has not al,oays that hu-
manzing effect which is generally ascribed
to it. He was passionately devoted to the
art, and held public contentious for superiority
with the most celebrated professors of it in
Greece and Rome. The solictude with which
this detestable tyrsnt cultivated his vocal pow
ers is curious, and seems to throw some light
on the practices of singers in ancient times
He used to lie on his back with thin plate of
and cathartics; abstained from all kinds of
fruit, and from such meats as were held to be
prejudical to singing Apprehensive of injur-
ing his voice, he at length de,isted from har-
angung tho soldiery and tho Senate; and af
ter his return from Greece he established an
officer to regulate his tones in speaking.

FRANKLIN's s WIFE.-To promote her hus-
bands interests, she attended in his shop
where she bought rags, sewed pamphlets, fol-
ded newspapers and sold the few articles in
which he dealt, such as ink, papers, lamp
black blanks and other stationery. At the
same time, she was an excellent housekeeper,
and besides being economical herself, taught
her somewhat careless disOrderly husband to
be economical also. Sometimes, Franklin was
clothed from head to foot in garments which
his wife had both woven and made, and for a
long time she performed oil the work of the
house without the assistance of a servant.
Nevertheless, she knew how to be liberal at
proper tiEeS. Franklin tells us that for some
years after his marriage, his breakfast was
bread and milk, which they ate out of a two
penny earthen vessel with pewter spoon; but
one morning, on going down to breakfast, he
found upon the table beautiful china bow,
from which his bread and milk was steamfng,
with silver spoon by its side, which had cost
sum equal in our currency to ten dollars.
When he expressed his astOnis1ment at this
unwonted splender, Mrs Franklin only remark
ed, that she thought her husband deserved a
silver spoon and china bowl as much as any of
bis neighbors.
Franklin prospered in his business until he
became the most famous editor and most -four
shing printer in America which gave him tho
pleasure of relieving his wife from the cares OF
business, and enabled him to provide for her q
spacious and well furnished abode. She adorn-
ed high station as well as she had borne a
lowly one, and presided at her husband liberal
table as gracefully as when he ate his break fast
of bread and milk from a two-penny BOWL
