FRANKL1N's LETTER.
PHILApELPHIA, juno 6, l759

SIR received your kind letter
of the I'd inst, and am glad to hear
that you increase in strength. |
hope you will continue mending till
you recover your former health and
firmness. Let me know whether
you still use the cold bath, and
what effect it has. AS to the kind
ness you mention, l wish it could
have been of greater service to you.
But if it had, the only thanks |
should desire is, that you would al
ways be equally ready to serve any
other person that may need your
assistance, and so let good offices
60 round, for mankind are all of a
family. For my own part, when |
am employed in serving others, / do
not look upon myself as comforting
fayors, but as paying debts.
In my travels and since my set
tlement, / have received much kind
ness from men, to whom | shall
never have any opportunity Of ma
king the least direct return, and
numberless mercies from God, who
is infinitely above being benefited
by our services. Those kindnesses
from men l can therefore only re-
turn on their fellow-men, and |
can only show my gratitude fol
those mercies from God, by readi-
ness to help his other children
and my brethren, For | don't
think that thanks and compliments,
though repeated weekly, can dis
charge our real obligation to each
other, and much less those to our
Creator, You will see in this my
notion of good works, that | am
far from expecting to merit heaven
by them. By heaven we under
stand q state Of happiness infinite
in degree and eternal in duration!
! | can do nothing To merit such re
wards. He that for giving a draught
Of water to a thirsty person, shoulC
expect to be paid with a good plan
tation, would be modest in his de
mands, compared with those VIII,
think they deserve heaven for tn,
| little good they do on earth. Ever
the mixed imperfect pleasures w
enjoy in this world, are rather from
/ Gods goodness than our merit
how much more such happiness 0
heayenl for my part, | have not th
| vanity to think ! deserve it, tn
folly to expect it, nor tho ambitio-
| to desire it, but content myself il
submitting to the will and dispose
ofthat God who made me, who ha
hitherto preserved and blessed me
and in whose fatherly goodness
NAV well confde, that he will neye
make me miserable, and that eve,
the afiictiOns / may at any tim
suffer, shall tend to my benefit.
The faith you mention has cei
tainly its use in the world. / d
not desire to see it diminished. Br

despised even by wise men, and
much less capable of pleasing the
Deity. The worship of God is a
duty. The hearing and reading of
sermons may be useful; but if men
rest in hearing and praying, as too
many do, it is as if a tree should
value itself on being watered and
putting forth leaves, though it
never produces fruit. Your great
Master thought much less Of those
outward appearances and profess
sions than many of his modern dis
ciples. He preferred the doers Of
the word to the mere hearers; the
son that seemingly refused TO obey
his father, and yet performed his
commands, to him that professed
his readiness but neglected the
work; the heretical but charita
Samaritan to the uncharitable
Though orthodox priest and sancti-
fed Levite; and those who gave
food to the hungry, drink to the
thirsty, raiment to the naked, en-
tertainment to the stranger, and re-
lief to the sick, though they never
heard of his name, he declares shall
in the last day be accepted, when
those who cry Lord, Lord, who
value themselves upon their faith,
though great enough ito perform
miracles but have neglected good
works, shall be rejected.
1 He professed that he came not to
call the righteous, but sinners, to
repentance, which implied his
modest opinion that there were
some in his time who thought
themselves so good that they did
not hear even himforimproyement.
but now-a-days we have scarce o
little parson that does not think il
the duty Of every man within his
reach to sit under his petty minis
trations, and whoever omits then
offends Godl / wish to such more
humility, and to you health ant
happiness, being your friend an(
servant. B. FRANKLIN.

A woman never loses the love OF
her hus band unless she has taken no
pains to retain It; nor does she de-
generate into drudge or slattern
with her husbands consent. Men are
not brutes; far from it. Touch the
right chord and you will see. Try the
virtue OF smile. III you have per-
mitted your husband to contract the
wretched habit OF fault finding. take
him unaware, and when his frown is
heaviest manage to touch your lips
to his brow. You will find the effect
electrical; and / doubt not your little
device would discover q suspicious
quivering of manly lips, and moist
ening Of the eyes that regarded you
with surprise and affection. There is
but one mode OF dealing satisfactorily
with husband, and that is. with his
heart as well as hi, understanding.
Every wife understands how to levy
such attacks, and to come on more
than conqueror. Following the for
tunes OF the youthful pair, we find
them, at the expiration OF twenty
years, in a comfortable home, which
has replaced the modest frame. Acres
have increased the dimensions Of the
farm, its thriftiness bespeaking skill
ful management. The interior OF the
dwelling is frightened by the serene
couptenance of the matron OF forty,
while the glad voices OF the merry
group around her testify 20 the fact
that home is not only dear but attrac-
tive. 49,,

III any one wishes to grow neshy,
q pint of milk taken before retiring
at night will cover the scrawniest
bones. Although nowadays we see
great many fieShy females, yet
there are many lean and lank ones
who sigh for the fashionable measure
OF piumpness, and would be vastly
improved In health and appearance
could their figure be rounded with
good solid flesh. Nothing is moro
coveted by thin women than q full
figure, and nothing provokes the scan
dal OF ops Of the clipper builds' as

rival. In case of fever and summer
complaints, milk IL now given with
excellent results. The idea that

an actress who did not like something
about the picture. Clara Morris for.
bade the sale OF one kind of her por'
traits. and Alice Lingard made a sim.
liar order because a sleeve of her
dress did not hang gracefully. The
photographers respect these whims
because they pay these ladies moth
ing, the advertising involved In the
sale Of the photographs being con-
sidered a fair recompense. A few
stars employ boys to sell their pictures
among their audiences, and OF course
make a profit thereby; but the GUS
tom is not permitted In this city, ex-
cept at the Academy of Music, where
photographs. books Of the opera,
are familiar sounds.
In the dealers collections several
faces are to be found that do not
belong to actresses. They are very
beautiful, and that quality sells them
in great numbers; but they have no
other claim cn public regard.
An exceptional instance OF a demand
for portraits OF men was during the
Beecher trial, when the principals,
lawyers, and witnesses concerned In
the case were kept for half q year In
the public mind. Beecher and Tilton
con sented to sit for the photographer,
as did all the lawyers; but Moulton,
refused, and the pictures of him that
were sold were printed from an old
negative. The dealers tried hard to
get photographs OF Mrs. Moulton.
Mrs. Tilton and Mrs. Beecher, ami Q
few copies OF sketches made by
artists in court were sold. Bessie
Turner was not so retiring. She went
to photographer and sold him q
copyright on her portraits. Mrs.
Woodruff, too, had no objections to
the traffic. A dealer says that thou
sands Of dollars could have been
made out OF negative OF either Mrs.
Moulton, Mrs. Beecher, or Mrs. TIL
ton, the latter being especially in
quired for. A photographer had o

piled the trade with prints, but he
