paper. 1t speaks to ten times the au-

It reaches all, andn it has lower spirit

Lying as it does, open on every table,
in almost every house, you owe it to
yourselves to rally literally to its sup

toned a character as you do from an
educator in your midst. 1t is in no
sense beneath your notice and taste, for
it is your representative. Indeed, i'll

Importance, interest, and welfare of you
all. 1t is the aggregate Of your conse,

THE OLD LANDMARKS.
Poor Richard Revived,


90 remarks on Industry, Attention to Business and
Fruga1ty.
[Dr. FRANKLIN published for many
years in Philadelphia, an Almanac,
whic he called Poor R1cHARD's ALMA
MAC, and in which he inserted various
maxims and proverbs. Although these
were much quoted at the time, and
have not since been forgotten, yet no
apology need be given for reprinting
them here, as they were drawn up by
the author himself in the form of pre-
face to one of his Almanacs. ]-Ameri-
can Almanac.
I have heard, that nothing gives an
author so great pleasure, as to find his
works respectfully quoted by others.
Judge, then, how much I must have
been gratifed by an incident I am
going to relate to you. l stopped my
horse lately, where great number Of
people were collected, at an auction OF
merchants goods. The hour of the
sale not being come, they were conyer-
sing on the badness of the times; and
one of the company called to plain,
clean old man, with white locks, Pray,
Father Abraham, what think you of the
times ? Will not these heavy taxes
quite ruin the country How shall we
ever be able to pay them? What would
you advise us to? Father Abraham
stood up, and replied, If you would
have my advice, I will give it to you
in short, 'sfor word to the wise is en-.
ough," as Poor Richard says. They
joined in desiring him to speak his mind
and gathering round him, he proceeds
as follows
Friends, says he, the taxes are in
deed very heavy, and if those laid or
by government were the only ones We
had to pay, We might more easily dis
charge them; but we have many others
and much more grevious to some Of us
We are taxed twice as much by our idle
ness, three times as much by our pride
and four times as much by our folly
and from these taxes the commissioner
can not ease or deliver US, by allowing
an abatement. However, let us hear
ken to good advice, and something ma,
be done for us; "God helps them tina
help themselves" as poor Richar'
says. -.. ...-.
l. It would be thought hare
government that should tax its peopl
one tenth part Of their time, to be EN-
ployed in its service; but idleness take
many of us much more; sloth, by bring
ing on disease, absolutely shortens life
"Sloth, like rust, consumes faster thai
labor wears, while the used key is al
way bright" as poor Richard says
"But dost thou love life, then do no
squander time, for that is the stuff lif
is made Of" as poor Richard says
How much moro than is necessary d
we spend in sleep forgetting tina
"the sleeping fox catches no poultry
and that there will be sleeping enoug
in the grave" as poor Richard says.
i "If time be Of all things the mos
precious, wasting time must be-" q
poor Richard says, "the creates

that we had no reports of kuklux in

The Traveller and Ills Friends

BIZ JOHN q. SAKE.
A gentleman about to take
A trip at sea was begged to make
Commissions for dozen friends:
One'wants watch; another sends
For vine" very special cask;
And if it's not too much to ask
Some choice cigars; a box will do,
Or, while you're at it, purchase two!''
Another friend would like pair
Of boots-they're SO much cheaper there
A lady friend would have him buy
Some laees if "they're not to high;'
Another wants box of gloves;
"French kids, you know, are real lowest
Thus one wants this, another that,
A book, bonnet, or a hat;
Enough to make moody man
$50 high their ''small commissioner ran
In tale and bulk) repent that he
Had even thought to cross the sea!
Moreover,--be it here remarked,-
Before the gentleman embarked,
His friends, for fear he might forget j
Their little errands, plainly set
Their wishes dewn in black and white,
A sensible proceeding-quite;
But-as it happened-not friend
with one exception thought to send
The ready money, and to say,
"See! here's the cash you II have to pay!''
The man embarks; sees Paris, Rome
And other cities; them comes home
Well pleased with much that met his eye;
But having, somehow, faile / to buy
A single thing for any friend
Except the one who thought to send
The wherewithal Well, need say
That soon their neighbors came to pay
Their greetings at his safe return,
And charming health and (also) learn
About their little errands-what
For each the traveller had got?
"By Jove!' he said, cit makes me sad
To think what wretched luck l had!
For, as at sea sat enc day,
Arranging, in the proper way
The papers you so kindly sent,
A gale arose and off they went
Into the ocean nor could
Remember aught you bade me buy!
But" grumbled one, "if that were 50
How comes it, sir, you CHANGED to know
What THAT MANS errand was, for HE
Has got what h e desired, we see!
Faith, so he has-beyond a doubt
And this is how it came about
His memorandum Glanced to hold
A certain sum of solid gold
And thus the paper by its weight
Escaped the others windy fate "
