TUOMAHJSVTVH, lit Proprietor. DR. FRANKLIN'S WIFE. BY All El PABTOR. ON a fine Sunday morning in October, 1728, Deborah Read, a beautiful and blooming las of eighteen, stood at the door of her fatber'f houso in Market streot, Phil adelphia. Tho city was forty-threo year of ago, and it contained a population of seven thousand, vltany trees of the original for est still sttji upon its site;, tho houses were built at some distance apart, with gardens between them, as yet the streets were unpaved. It is a large tranquil Quaker village, surrounded by the prime val wilderness, with groifps of Indians fre quently to he seen In the Sftreeta, and such game as wolves, bears, wild turkey and deer to bo shot within four miles of the town. As the young lady stood at tho door of her home it was about church timo in the morning sho saw in a crowd of church going people a strange figure that both amused and surprised her. It was a stout lad of seventeen, not ill-looking but dressed in tho very extreme of Khabbiness. He woro tho working-clothes of an ordinary appren tice, and these by exposuro to the rain and wear and tear op travel, had become dirty and dilapidated. The pockets of his coat wero stuffed out with shirts and stockings, and undor each arm ho luid a largo roll while eating a third. Sho gazed at him as long as sho could see li i in, wondering and laughing at his ridiculous appearance. If she had any thoughts upon tho subject, sho probably set him down as a runaway apprentice, for such indeed ho was, ono Benjamin Franklin, who had made his way from Boston by sloop, by barge and on foot, to escapo tho tyranny of his brother, to whom ho had been apprenticed. A few days passed. Miss Read learned from her father that a young man was coming to board with them, a printer, who worked in ono of tho two printing houses of the town. What was her surprise when the young man arrived, nicely dressed, with clean linen, and very neat in his per son, to rccognixo tho forlorn and shabby youth who had caught hor eyo on that Sun day morning. Ills chest had arrived by sea, and thus ho was nblo to present him self nt his new nbode in a becoming cos tume. TIio young man proved highly agreeable to tlio family. lie was full of in telligence, amiability nntl good luamor ono of those young fellows who make friends wherever they go, because they aro themselves obliging and friendly. A year glided rapidly by, during which the father of tho young lady died, and was buried in Christ Church burying ground, Philadelphia, where his grave stone may be still seen and read. His wife, a vigor ous and prudent woman, carried on the house as usual, so that it still furnished a homo to tho young printer. His fortunes had brightened during the year. The Governor of the province, who had acciden tally become acquainted witli his talents, proposed to set him up in business as a printer, and was going to send him to Lon don to buy types, a printing press, nud whatever is necessary for tlm business of a printer. With this prospect before him, tho young man was emboldened to speak to Mrs. Read on a momentous subject. Ho had fallen in lovo with her beautiful daugh ter, no told her this mighty secret, nud of his intended voyngo to London, and of the governor's project of establishing him in business. Finally, ho asked her daughter's hand iu marriage. Mrs. Read was far from disapproving tho match, but, like a prudent mother ns ho was, she callod tho young man's attention to the fact that neither he nor her daughter were yet nineteen, nnd that it would be most unwise for them to marry just as sho was going upon a long voyage, and aViut to cngago iu a new business which might not prove profitable. How much better to wait until he was safe home again, nnd the business was well established. There was no denying! this, nud he was obliged to submit. Having thus arranged the mattor with the mother, ho spoke to the daughter who confessed With her ongue what her eyes had oftoi avowed, that she loved him; and she promised to marry him on his re turn. He set sail and reached Loudon in due time. There he discovered that the gover nor had deceived aud wronged him most cruelly. Instead of letters of credit ho had given him mere letters Ajf Introduction, which wero absolutely worthless. The consequence was that this young printer of nineteen found himself in London with ten pounds in his pocket and not a friend in Europe who could be of the slightest help to him. To complete his misfortunes one of his Philadelphia friends, who hod cross ed the Atlantic with him, and had come to London expecting to live by literature, could obtain no employment, and had no resource but Franklin's purse. The printer was not long in getting work at his trade; b)it as there was two to be supported, the ten ypunds rapidly melted away.and Frank lin saw no prospect even of bis being able to get back to Philadelphia at all still less of appearing there as a master printer, i t In these circumstances he should have written to Mis Read a plain statement of the case, and asked her to wait for him, or release him from the engagement. Either he bad not the courage to do this, or else, absorbed by the wonders and pleasures of the town, he had become indifferent to her. lie merely wrote her a short note, announoe ing his safe arrival in London, and telling hor he was not likely to return soon. This was one of the great errors of his life, which he said, he could wish to correct if ho were to live it over again. Month after month passed, and Deborah Read, anxious and forlorn, heaid no more from her faithless lover. A newsuitorpie sented himself, Rogers by name, who car ried on the trade of a potter. He was an excellent hand at the business, and for this reason Mrs. Read favored his suit. Other relations urged her to marry him, and at last she gavfl her consent, and the mar riago was celebrated. Boon tho dreadful rumor was noised abroad in Philadelphia that Rogers, the potter, had another wife I Such strong reasons appeared for crediting this report, that Deborah Read, who had lived unhappy with him, returned to hor mother and resumed her niaidon name, a sorrowful and hopeless woman, ifer most sanguine friends could not have forseon for her a happy and honorable future Soon after, Rogers, who owed money in all di rections fled from his creditors to tho West Indies, whence came soon after a report of his death. Franklin remained in London for about two years, at the end of which ho returned as a clerk to a Philadelphia merchant;, whom ho had met by chance in London. Upon his arrival ho renewed his intimacy with Mrs. Road and her daughter, and doubtless explained his inconsistency as best ho could. Ho lamented Deborah Read's unhappy condition; and, however he tnny havo excused his behavior, ho felt that she owed the ruin of her life to his own "giddiness and inconstancy." The mother, however, insisted that it was sho who was most in fault, becauso she had urged on the unhappy marriago, oven against her (laughter's inclination. Sho still consulted Franklin about her affairs, and they wero all excellent friends. And so passed three or four years, dur ing which Franklin, through his own in dustry and good conduct, became a master pi inter and proprietor of a newspaper, with tho prospect of founding an extensive business. Needing capital, ho tried to in crease his store by marriage, and when that scheme failed, he turned his thoughts to his first lovo, poor Deborah Read. Her runaway potter was probably dead, but ho might not be; and she seemed forever cut off fiom marriage by the fact that her sec ond husband would be responsiblo for tho debts of hor first. Such was tho law of tho period. Franklin, pitying her forlorn condition, always reproaching himself as tho cause of her woe, and not less fond of hor than be fore, at last proposed that they should risk a marriage. Nor was tho match so un uneqtial as it seemed, for, bachelor as he was, he had a son a few months old upon his bunds, which was set of against the chances of Rogers renppoaring. In 1730, soven years alter Miss Read had seen Frank lin walking up Market street, eating his roll, they wero married. Rogers as it turn ed out, was really dead; nor did any of his creditors apply to Franklin for payment. Tho child was taken home and reared as though it had been born to them in wed lock, lie was well educated and afterwards became governor of Now Jersey. Tho marriago was eminently succcsful in every respect. One of Franklin's maxims in Poor Richard's Almanao was this: "A man must ask his wife to thrive." Noth ing more truo. In vain shall a young man, without much capital, toil and deny himself, if ho has a wife who squanders his gains, and takes no interest in his career. Mrs. Franklin was ono of the most industrious arcful and friendly of women. Besides at tending hor husbands litllo shop, sho bought rags, stitched pamphlets, folded newspapers, tenderly nurtured his child, and kept hci husband from being extravi gant. He was by no means of an economi cal disposition. lie was generous to a fault, and I am sure was much indebted to his wife for the rapidity with which he mado his fortuno. In the early years of their married life he could sometimes boast and ho did boast of it that he was clothed from head to foot in garments which his wife had first woven and then made. It seems, howevor, that she was not averse to a reasonable degree of comfort and display. Franklin narrates thai for a long time after his marriage he had noth ing for breakfast but bread and milk, and he used to cat it out of a twopenny earthen bowl with a pewter spoon. "But," he continued, "mark how lux ury will enter families, and make a. pro gress in spite of principles. Being called ono morning to break fast, I found it in a china bowl with a spoon of silver. They had been bought for me without my knowl edge by my wife, and bad cost her tho en ormous sum of three and twenty shillings; for which she had no other excuse to make but that she thought her husband dsserved a silver spoon and ft china bowl as well as any of his neighbors." We have another pleasing glimpse of Mrs. Franklin iu the early years of her married life, in an advertisement pub lished in Franklin's paper, the "Pennsyl vania Gazette." Franklin advertised every thing and this is one of his attempts in that way: ., , , "Taken out of a pew in the church, some months since, a common prayer book, bound lured gilt, and letters D. F. (De borah Franklin) on each cover. The person who took it is desired to open it and read the Eighth Commandment, and afterwards return it into the same pew again; upon which no further notice will be taken." The first groat sorrow of her married life was the death of their first child a most beautiful and intelligent boy, four years of age. Bo engaging was he, and so rooted in the hearts of his patents, that Franklin declared, thirty-six years after, he could never think of him even without a sigh. When the reader visits tho gravo of Frank lin in Christ Church burying ground in Philadelphia he will observe near it a little stone, not two feet high, which Franklin placed over the grave of this boy He add ed to the usual inscription these words, "The delight of all who knew him." Their only other child, Barah, grew to woman hood, inheriting and transmitting her mother's beauty. , During the last fifteen years of their married life, Franklin spent most of his time in England, as agent for tho colonics. Such was his wife's droad of tho ocean, that she nover could be persuaded to accompany him or visit him. During his absence she took caro of all his ufl'airs, better in some respects, than ho could have done it him self. By almost every ship sho sent him Amer ican nuts, apples, and other products, and he sent her in return all Borts of rare and beautiful things in fabric and household furniture, such as sets of china, articles of silver ware, table cloths, tea trays, blank ets, silk for dresses, and any curious house hold implement which ho thought might bo useful. On ono occasion ho sent her a large handsome beer jug. "I fell in love with it," ho told her, "at first sight, for I thought that it looked like a fat jolly dame, clean and tidy, with a neat blue calico gown on, good natural and lovely, and put me in mind of somebody." To make tho jug more welcome, he filled it with pretty little coffee cups, packed in salt. During tho Stamp Act tiouhles of 1705, when the false report reached Philadelphia that her husband had favored tho odious measure, the mob threatened to sack his houso. On this occasion she proved herself worthy to bo the wife of Pennsylvania's representative. Governor Franklin en treated her to take refugo in his own house at Burlington, and all her friends urged her to go. For nino days, sho says, people kept persuading her to leave her house. At length sho let hor daughter go to Burling ton; but for herself, she would not budge. "Iam sure," said she, "that my bus band has dono nothing to hurt anybody, nor havo I given offence to any person at all, nor will I bo mado uneasy by anybody. I will not stir.uor show tho least uneasiness. But if anybody comes to disturb me, 1 will show a proper resentment." And, indeed, she armed and fortified hor house, stationing her brother und cousiu below with guns and aniuiiilion,uud mount ing guard up stabs herself, prepared to defend her abode. Tho storm blew over, and very soon the truth respecting her hus band's conduct was known. For forty-four years Benjamin Franklin and Deborah Read were united in mar riage. Sho lived to see her husband the most honored of Americans on both continents, and sho lived also toseo her daughter suita bly married to a merchant of Philadelphia, Richard Bacho. Her last years wero greatly cheered by her beautiful grand children. Sho had tho happiness of escaping the anxieties and terrors of the Revolutionary War. Shu died iu December 1774, with only one regret, that sho could not live to see Iter husband unco again. Indeed, she had been fur ten years longing and pining for his retuixjbut the pressing business of tho colonies still detained him, aud sho died at last when ho was making his prepar ations for his homeward voyage. Her body was borne to tho grave by somo of Franklin's oldest friends, men who had known them wheu forty-four years before, thoy had begun housekeeping, and ato their breakfast of bread and milk. There were scarcely any women at that period who wore what wo now call educa ted, and tho letters of Mrs. Franklin show that sho was not gifted in tho use of tho pen. But she was a faithful and affectionate wife, a friend and help-meet to her husband, who was enubled to devoto himself to the public service because lie ' had at homo a wifo competent and willing to take charge of his affairs iu his absence. t3TA captain, who had a sound sleeping mate, caught an Irish boy in the middle of a watch frying some pork aud eggs he had stolon from the ship's stores, to whom the captain called out, " You lubber, you, I'll have none of that." "Faith, captain, I've none for ye," replied the lad. A Dutih Composition.

A Photograph Romance. nnilE days of romanco are not altogether JL passed away, says a New York lotter to tho Boston Times; if a story that I heard yesterday is true. It was a case of love at first sight, or rather of love before the sight. A gentleman, who has an abundance of that agreeable article known as money, which he has no inclination to spend in a wild life, had mado up his mind that he wanted to marry. Ho was acquainted with no lady to whom he wished to propose, and bo ho waited for tho desired creature to come around, as a great many people tell us she is euro to do some day or other. Happening ono afternoon in a photograph gallery, he saw a package of cartes do visite lying on tho counter, where they had been temporarily placed. Ho gazed intently at tho uppermost picture pacukc, mid conclu ded that it was just the picture that suited him. "May I ask," ho said to the attendant behind tho counter, "tho name ef that lady?" " It would be against our rules to give her iiamo," was the reply. " But, even it was not so, I could tell you nothing more than tho name, as I know nothing about her, not even her residence. She came here last week and ordered a dozen pho tographs which are promised for to-morrow." Tho stranger returned thanks for the in formation and walked out. But he watched the door of that establishment all the after noon, and every time a lady approached he eyed her to see if she was tho original of tho picture. He was at his post next day, and the next, and on the third afternoon he was rewarded by seeing her. Ho follow ed hor ns she went away, and, aftor a wear isome tramp among dry goods stores and millinery establishments, he tracked her homo. Then he wont to work to ascertain who she was, aud found that her pa-' rents wore entirely reputable people, in moderate circumstances, and that the char acter of the lady herself was above the slightest reproach. Then he sought the tho father, stated his object, gave the most undoubted references and did not call again till the old gentleman lind examined them. Ho was introduced, and you can easily guess the rest. No cards. Iff Two women in Detroit quarreled, and oue ot them of an original turn of mind, got a parrot and taught Polly to say, " you thief, " whenever her enemy passed by. Not to be outdone, the other fair belligerent also got a Polly, whom she taught to scream "you dye your bair," whenever the enemy came in sight. Finally, tho judiciary was appoaled to, and both the parrot gun were spiked.
