Mark Twain, in his Memoir of Benja
min Franklin, says:
"What an adroit old adventurer the
subject of this memoir was. In order to
get chance to fly his kite ON Saturday,
he used to hang key on the string and
let ON to be fishing oralighting.
He invented stove fEst would smoke
your head off in four hours5y the clock.
One can sse tho almost Internal salisfac-
ton he took in it by giving it his name.
''Ho was always proud of telling how
he entered Philadelphia for the first time
with only shillings in his pocket and
rolls of bread under his arm. But real
ly, when you come to examine it criti-
cally, it was nothing. Anybody could
have done it.
"Franklin said once, in one of his in
spired flights of malignity;
early to bed ar carly to rise,
"Mal1es q man healthy, wealthy and wise"
As if it were an object to boy to be
healthy, wealthy and wise on such
terms. The sorrow that that maxim has
cost me, through my parents expert
menting on me with its tongue cannot
tell. The legitimate resultl my present
state of general debility, ignorance and
mental alteration. My parents used to
have me up before nine o'clock in the
morning, sometimes when was a boy.
If they had let me take my animal rest,
where would l have been now? Keep
ing store; no doubt, and respected by all
men,"
The herald. (Smyrna, Del.) 1870-1871, 1870-08-13

Brown was invited to visit town in
the extreme rural districts, for the pur-
pose of lecturing the people on temper
ance. He arrived at his destination late
i'll the eve iig, and was invited to the
cottage of farmer to partake of supper,
previous to the display of his eloquence!
The farmer had two sons, twenty to
twenty-five years of age, and to them a
temperance lecturer appeared something
more than an ordinary man. Brown
had great difficulty in drawing them into
conversation, but at length the ice was
broken, and the following colloquy was
the result:
"I suppose you've both affixed your
names to the pledge long ago?" queried
our friend.
"Which9"
ct suppose you are both temperate
men, and have pledged yourselvest to ab-
stain from the use of everything that in
toxicates?"
"The which, stranger?"
"You do not get the idea clearly. I
was expressing the hope that you do not
indulge in intoxicating bsverages?"
"Eh ~
"That you do not indulge in the ine-
briating cupS"
"Sir3'
"Do either of you drink liquor? That's
what am trying to get at"
"Waal, strangerp exclaimed the eld-
est, 'I didn't know but ye was a a-talkin'
French jabber. Why didn't ye ak the
thing right outf Sam and me don't
drink no liquor to speak on, 'cept hayin'
and harvest, and then we drink right
smart. So does father aud everybody
FOUND here. If ye talk French stuff in
yer lecture, stranger, 'twont do much
good, tell ye, for nobody won't know a
word what yer means in this yer neck
o. timber, snrtin and sure"
Brown declares this TO be the best les
son in rhetoric he ever received, and he
made an unusual effort to adapt his
words to the comprehension of his hear
ers in that "neck O. TIMBER" Other
speakers may profit by the hint.

crinoline that would have supported a
seventy-four, and Jedediah merely had
to tow her to the boat and lift her in; but
as she was under the firm impression
that she was rapidly sinking, Of course
she immediately tainted. On coming to;
she hugged Jedediah, and blessed him,
and called him her 'deliverer," to that
gentleman's great confusion, for he sat
looking rather foolish, rubbing his nose
with the brim of his hat, and answered
not word. Annie merely pressed his
hand gratefully, and Jedsdiah was salts.

He Immediately became hero in the
eyes of the quartette ofladies, and prais-
es were showered on him Ito Mr.. Trent's
great indighation) to that extent that he
became quite miserable, and wondered
internally whether such commonplace
thing (for it was merely delightful
bath to him) was so rare that they should
make such a fuss about it.
But how did you come to tumble inf?
he asked, to stop their tongues.
Then 1t came out that Mr.. Sylvester
Trent had been derelict in his duty, and
not keeping an eye on the boat, had al
lowed it to swerve in its course, thus
presenting the side of the sail to the
wind, causing the boat to lurch sudden
ly, and the two unfortunates, being seat
ed on the boat, could not recover their
balance in time, and thus tho catastro-
phe.
Cousin Jedediah took sudden rise In
the estimation of Mrs. Warrington that
evening, when she heard about his "gal-
liant conduct" as her daughter termed
it; and she insisted on his staying a
couple of weeks, at the very least.
This he wouldn't listen to, giving as
an excuse that it was 'haying time, and
dad wanted all the hands he could got;"
but he promised he would return in the
| winter.
And he did-and being introduced in
to society, he soon ceased to become &C.
centric in his manner, for Jedediah was
