STooP A LITTLE,--Thc following
story related by DIR. Franklin in a
letter to DIR. Mather, has been often
told, and is well worth telling again
"Thc last time saw your father,
says DR. franklin, "was in l724 In
taking my leave be showed me a short
way out Of the house, through a mar.
row passage, which was crossed by a
beam overhead. We were still talk
ing as withdrew, he accompanying
me behind and l turned toward him,
he said hastily: ".Stoopi lStoop !" |
did not understand him till | felt my
head hit against the beam. He was a
man who never missed an occasion of
giving instruction, and upon this be
said TO me, "You are young and have
the world before you; Stoop a lille rs
you 30 through It, and you will avoid
many hard thumps" this advice thus
beat into my head, has frequently
been of use TO me and | often think
Of it when see pride mortified and
misfortune brought upon a people by
carrying their heads SO high"

November, take pleasure In saying to the pub

now In use for extracting siumps. Iiisof simple
eonttruction, easily managed, not liable to get
out Of order, and very durable. -Four men took
the machine from the wagon, when entirely
apart, put IL together, and pulled \ largo pine
stump In less than one hour. We saw Two men
pull large stump with ease. They use a horse,
but he does bis work In taking out the largest
siumps, without hard pull, Mr.. Booth, the
Pateniee, fully understands putting up and
handling the machine. We would advise those
In want OF stump extraetorS to see this one tested

Justice Clark for hearing, when 1t appeared

with box OF bogus jewelry, which he offered
for sale as pure gold. representing that he had
found IT, and could therefore afford to dispose
of it at merely nominal prices The stock con.
sisted OF watches, chains, earrings, breas tpins,
&e- and as an evidence OF the value he SET
upon Lis goods, he offered for sale at niae dol,ars
what purported to be q superior gold watch.
winch would have been worth, had it been as
represented, over q hundred dollars. 1t is
needless TO say that the watch, like all his
other wares, was not gold at all, but piuchbeck
OF the commonest order. Upon his person were
found orders for about five hundred dollars
worth OF this jewelry, directed to parties In
New York, with instructions to forward il
Immediately to this city. The guilt of the
acc ufed was fully proven, and he was com.
