How Franklin Seoured a Beat. Dr. Franklin owed much of his cx if??rdi??ry success to kc?n insight into human nature and a sagacity that quickly'perceived tho best and-readi? est methods of attaining a desired end. To bo sure, many of'his " strategetic pjovoroonta " were not commendable; but they were more' humorous than injurious, of which the following is a characteristic specimen i i ? iijfj In the' ^ear-W^, Franklin visited Boston, and on his return to Philadel? phia,, at every, stopping ho was beset with'o?lcious inquiries for his name, business, etc, on which ho determined beforeliand wiihV such intcrroga-' tones in future. At the next tavern he announced himself' as Benjamin Franklin, from Boston to Philadelphia, a printer not worth-a dollar, eighteen years of age, a^ingJeimap;Beeking my fortune, etc.; and this singular intro duction checked all, further inquiries and' effectually repulsed 'the daring propensity of Yankee inquisitiveness. At,ono of tho public houses,tho firo place was -surrounded by men so closely packed .our traveler could not approach near enough to feel any of its agreeable warmth, and .being cold oiid chilled, ho called out: " Hostler, have you any oysters r" " Yes, oir," said tho man. ".Well then give my horse a peck." ."What, give your horse oystors?" cried the wondering skeptic. MYe8," retorted Franklin, "give him a peck of oysters." The hostler carried out tho oysters, and many of the occupiers of the fire? place went with him to witness tho great curiosity of a horse eating oys? ters. Franklin seated himself com? fortably before the fire and derived much satisfaction and enjoyment from hia'fuhny experiment. ' Soon the man camo in, and the company* with rueful faccu; expressed most decided dissatis? faction at their disappointment. " Tho horbo would not eat tho oys? ters, sir!" and tbey had lost their cozy, comfortable, warm seats. ? Well," said Franklin, "if the horse won't eat them I'll cat them myself, and you may try him with a peok of oats." Discovery of Guano,?Extensive beds oi guano have been recently dis? covered in Peru, to the South of the Province of Tarapaca. An examina? tion of ,the beds, made by two survey? ors, sent out by the Central Board of Engineers of Lima, Peru, has brought out n report showing thatseveraHarge beds of guano, of excellent quality, exist in that locality. Those which have been surveyed are supposed to contain nearly eight million tons; one ] of 'thorn alone contains fivo million tons of fine quality. Those discoveries , not Only remove all fear of a present failure in tho supply of gaano, but indicate that there are yet other undis? covered beds in cxi?tenco which will provide a practically inexhaustible ?upply. ^ .V Men bow before talent, even if un associatcd with goodness; but hciwc.cn , these two wo must make an everlasting distinction. When on.jc the idolatry of talent enters, then faro well to spir? ituality; when men ask their teachers not for that, which 'will make them moro hum hlc and godlike, buifor the excitement of an intellectual banquet, then farewell to Christian progress. tu pppppppppp pppppppppp ppppp ppppp ppppp ppppp pppppppppp ppppppppp ppppp ppppp ppppp ppp pppp ppppppp m\l///Z^s4&r o\ the Pnawux has ihurmi trlii> fitted hie office with tho Latest Improved Material for doing all kinds Printing, uxvci it iv RRRRR RRRRRRRRRR RRRR RRRRR RRRR RRRRR RRRR RRRR RRRRRRRR RRRR RR RR RRRR RRRR RRRR RRRR RRRRRR RRRRR RRRRRR RRRRR Type,Border,Ornamente, Cute.
