FRANKLIN AND GOV, BITRNET,
Franklin had just a•eturned from assisting
poor Collins to bed, when the captain of the
vessel which had brought him to, New York,
rtepped up and in.a very respectful manner
put a note into his hand. Franklin, opened.
its not without considerable agitation, and
read as follows :
"G. Burnet's compliments await young Mr.
Franklin, and' should be glad of lidlf an
hours chat with him. 7
"G. Burnet," said Ben.,
be?"
"Why, 't is the Governor," replied the cap
tain smiling: 4 .1 }taro just been to'seeArim,
with' some letters L - hronght- , for him front
Boston. And when I told ldin What *a world
of books you have, he expressed curiosity to
dee you, and begged I would return with you
to his palace."
Ben instantly set off with the captain, but
not without a sigh as he cast a look at the
door of poor Collins' bed-room, to think what
an honor that wretched 'Young man had lost
for the sake of . two or three drinks of filthy
grog.
The Governor's looks at the approael of
Ben, plainly showed a disappointment. He
had, it seems, expected, considerable enter
tainment from Ben's conversation. But his
fresh and ruddy contenande showed him so
mush younger than he had expected, that he
--gave-up-all- his-promisettrentertainment- as-a
lost hope. He received Ben however with
great politeness, and took him into an adjoin
ing rown'lvhich was his library, consisting
of a large and well chosen collection.
Seeing the pleasure which sparkled in
Ben's eyes, as he surveyed so many elegant
authors, and th,ought of the - rich stores of
knowledge which they contained, the gover
nor with a smile of complacency, as on a
yining pupil of science, said to him:—
. "We 11,16. Frankliii, I am told by the cap
here,.lhat_you_have a _fine_colleetion..of
bookstoo."
"Only a trunk all, sir I" said Ben.
"A trunk full, sir!" replied the governor,
"why, what use can you have for so many
books ?" Young people tit your- age, have
seldom read boyoud.the tenth chapter of Ne
hemiah.'
"I can boast," said I3en, "of having read
a great deal beyand j that myself; but still I
should be sorry if I could not get -atrunk full
to read every six,months." , -
• At this, the governor; regaMing him with
a lobk of surprise, said—
" You must then, though so young, be a
scholar; perhaps a teacher •of the langua
ges."
f‘.1 , 10,-sir," answered Ben t "I know no lan
gunge'but my own."
"What, not Latin nor Greek
"No, sir, not a word of either.''.'•+
"Why, don't you think them necessary ?"
"1 . don't set myself up as n- judge—but
should not suppose-them 'necessary."
"©hl well, 1 should like-to hear your rea
SOIIS ~~
"Why, sir, I am not competent to give rea
sons that may .satisfy a gentlemati of yoUJ
learning, but the following are the reasons
with which Isatisfy myself.., I look,
op. luu
&age merely .as arbitrary sounds. Of charac
ters, whereby M'en 'columnnicate. their ideas
to each other. Now I already possess a lan
, gunge whicho • capable of conveying more
ideas than I shall ever acquire ; were it not
wiser in me to improve my time in sense
thirOugh:itliat'One"ln'tiguager) - than Waste it„in
getting mere soUnds - through 'fifty languages,
eyen if I could , learn as many." •
Here 'the governor pauSed a . moment,
though without' a little red on his cheeks,
•.. for hating put Ben - and' chapter X. of.'Nehe
'` miah eloso together; : However' catching
.
a new idea, 116 took another start. • "
"Nell but my 'dearsir, you-certAinly differ
from the learned r.world,;which is, you
, in ftivor orthe languages.". •
"I would not wish wantonly•to differ froM
the learned world," • said Ben, "especially,
when they mantain opinions that seem to
me founded in truth. But when this is not
the case, to differ from them I have ever
_thought it my duty; and especially. since I
studied Locke."
"Locke!" cried the governor with surprise
"you studied Locke?" •
"Yes, sir, I studied Locke on the,.Under
sthnding three years ago, when I_was thir
teen."
"You amaze me, sir..' iron study Locke on
the Understanding, at thirteen I"
. "Yes, sir, I did."
"Nell, and pray at what college did you
study Locke at thirteen ; for at Cambridge
Collego'brold England,. whore I got my ed
ucation, they never allowed the senior class
to look at_ Locke till eighteen.."
"I\ll,c', rir, it ,was my )iiisfortune never to
be at a college, or even a !irammar school,
except nine months when I was a child."
Here the governor sprang from his sent,
and staring at Ben cried out:
`Never at a college I Well, and wheit..—
where did you get your education, pray 7"
"At home, sir e in a tallow-chandler's shop."
"Ina tall \ ow-chandler's shop I" screamed
the governor.
"Yes, sir, my Father was a poor old tab
low-chandlerwith sixteen children, and I the
youngest of all ; at 8 years of age•he put me
to school, but finding he could not spare the
ttnoney from the rest of the children to keep
me there, he took me home ;to the shop,
where I assisted -hiM by twisting the candle
wicks and filling the moulds all day, and at
night I read by myself.
-• Here the governor spatted his hands to
gether, and gave a loud whistle, while his
eye-balls, wild with surprise, rolled about in
their sockets as if in a mind to hop out.
"It4ossible s young manl" he exclaimed,
"impossible; you are only sounding my ered
uality. I can never believe the one half of
this." • Then turning to the Captain he said:
"Captain, can this young man here be aim
ing at anything but to quiz me ?"
"No, indeed, please your excellency," re
plied the captain, "315. Franklin is not quiz
zing you ; he is saying what is
. really true,
for I am acquainted with his father and fami
ly:,
The governor then turning to Ben, said
more moderately: "Well, my dear wonderful
boy, I ask your pardon for doubtiug, your
word , and new Tray tell me, for I feel a
stronger desire than ever to,hear your objec
tion to learning the dead langtirges.
'" Why, sir, object .to it principally on
account of the shortness of hunian
life.
Taking them one with another, men do not
live above forty years. Plutarch, indeed,
only puts it at thirty-three. But say fbrty.—
Well, of this, full ten years are lost in child
hood, before any boy thinks of a Latin gram
mar. This brings the forty down to thirty.
Now, of such a moment as this to spend five
or Six years in learning the dead, languages;
especially, when all the best books in thoSe
languages are translated into ours—and, be
sides, we already have more books on every
subject than such. short lived creatures can
ever acquire—seems very preposterous."
"Well, what are you to do with their great
POets, Virgil and Homer, for example ; I
suppose you would not think of translating
Homer out of his rich native Greek into our
poor i homespun - English, would you?'
" Why not, sir ?" -
" Why,- I should as soon think of trans
plautmg a pine apple from Jamaica to Hos
ton.
"who can that
" Well,. sir, a skilful gardener, with his hot
house, would give us neatly as fine a pine
apple as any in Jamaica. And so, Mr. Pope,
with his fine imagination,,has given us Ho
mer in English; with more of his beauties
than ordinary scholars would find in him af
ter forty years study of the Greek. And be
sides, sir, if Homer was not translated, I am
far from thinking it would be worth sPending
five or six years to learn to read him in his
own language."
" You diflhr from • the critics, Mr. Frank
lin, for the critics all tell us his beauties are
." Yes, sir, and the naturalists tell us that
the beauties of the basilisk are inimitable
too."
"The basilisk,. sir I Homer compared with
the basilisk I I really don't understand you,
sir."
"Why, I Mean sir, that as the basilisk is
the more to be dreaded from the beautiful
skin that covers its poison, so is Homer, for
the bright colorings be throws over bad char
aeters.and passions. Now, as rdon't‘ think
the b6nuties of poetry are, comparable to
those of philanthropy, nor a thousandth part
- so - important to ibuinnn happiness, I must
.confess, I dread Homer, e'specitilly as the
companion of youth. The humane find gen
tle virtues are 'certainly the greatest charms
and - sweeteners of life. And I suppose, sir,
you would hardly think of sending your son
to Achilles .to learn these."
"J agree he has too much revenge in his
composition."
4 'Y - es, sir, and when painted in the colors
which Homer's glowing fancy lends, what
youth but must run the most; imminent risk
of catching a spark of bad fire from such a
blaze as'he throws upon
‘ his pictures."
"Why this, though an uncommon view of
the subject, is, I confess, an ingonious one,
Mr. Franklin; but, surely, .'tis over-strain
ed."
"Not at all, air; we are told from good
authority, that it was the rending of Homer
that first put it into the head of Alexander
the Great to become a hero, and after him of
Charles XII. What Millions of creatures
aNe l.iron slaughterod by these two" great
butchers, is not known but .still, pro`mbly
Cirhsle 15eralb
not 11, tythe'of what have perished in duels,
between individuals, froM 'pride and revenge
nursed from reading Homer."
" Well, sir," replied the goverhor, " I MN
erheard the prince of bards treated in this;
way before. You must certainly be singular
in your charges against Homer."
"Ask your pardon, sir; I have 'the Otior
to think of Homer exactly as did the great
est phildsopher of antiquity; I menu Plato,
who strictly forbade the reading of Homer
to his republic. And yet Plato was a heath
en."
Here the. governor came to a pause. But
perceiving Ben cast his eye on a splendid
copy of Pope, he suddenly seized that as a
fine opportunity to turn the conversation.--
So stepping up, he placed his hand on his
shoulder, and in a very familiar manner,
said:
"Well, Mr. 'Franklin, there's an author
that I am sure you will not quarrel with ; an
withor that I think you will pronounce fault
less."
"Why, sir," replied Ben, "I entertain a
most exalted opinion of Pope ; but still,'sir,
I think he is nut without his faults."
"It would puzzle you, I suspect, Mr
Franklin, as keen a critic as you are, to poin
•
out one."
"Well, sir," said Ben, hastily turning to
the place, " what do you think of this fa
mous couplet of Pope's:
"Immodest words admit of no defence,
For want of decency Is want orsenso."
"I sec no fault there."
n deeil r tq - II en
to roy mind a roan can ask no better excuse,
for any thing he does wrong, than his want
of sense."
"How so 'I".
"Well, sir, if I might presume to alter a
line in this great 'Poet, I would do it in this
way:
"Immodest words admit of THIS defonee,
That want of decency Is want of sense."
Here the governor caught Ben in his arms,
at a didighted father would his son, calling
ou t--a t--11“--sa me- tinte-trthecrrptrt i
"flow greatly I am obliged to you, sir, for
bringing the to an acquaintance with this
charming youth 1 0, what a delightful thing
it would be for us to converse with such a
sprightly youth as him! But the worst of it
i's, most parents are blind to the true glory
and happiness of their children. Most pa
rents never look higher for their sons than
to §ce them &lying like muck-worms for
money; or hopping about like jay-birds in
fine feathers. Hence, their conversation is
! no better than froth or nonsense." •
The Governor shook hands with Ben, beg
ging that he would never visit New York
'without coming to. see him
DENILY CLAY'S D0.111.E AND GRAVE.
We made a promise some days ago, says
the Cincinnati Gazette of September 25th,
to give an account of our visit to Ashland,
which for so many years was the home of
Henry Clay, a name dear to the Americtin
people, and to which memory clings like ivy
to the oak.
Ashland has •often been described by abler
pens than Ours, and its name has gone forth
to the ends of the earth. Those who have
preceded us, however, saw Ashland when in
its full glory, as a , quiet, modest, unpretend
ing dwelling, and when the occupant was in
his pride of place, first in the race of men.
Those days have passed away, never to re
turn. Not only has the jewel vanished from
our sight, but the casket has been broken
which contained it. Henry Clay is dead 40
Ashland is a ruin:
It was Pear the close of a warm and pleas
ant day, that we rode in a carriage from the
hoteldoor in Lexington to Ashland. We
were not prepared to find the dwelling total
ly demolished, but all that remained of it
was..part of a brick_ which _ had once
served to divide. the parlor &Om the library,
and upon this some half tlozen men were at
work—with- crowbar andjielcaxei — levellirug
it to the ground. All, therefore, that remains
of the old homestead of 'the Statesman, is a
pile of bricks and rubbish. We were told
that the pre'S'e"nt proprietor of the estate—a
son of Henry abaut.to erect on the
situ. of the old dwelling a new edifice, of its
exact fortrf- -and character. This will make
some amendi for...the work of demolition he
has .completed, but it Will hardly pardon it.
The old house, might have been repaired, it
should net have been deAtroyed. It was one
of those consecrated spots, those shrines of
liberty, to which the pilgrim would eft retire
to revive hope. and strengthen his love of
country.
Aside from the interest affixed to the spot
because of him who so many years found
tlierein bis home, there is nothing remarga:
bin about Ashland: The estate partakes of
the. general ,character of did' lankin the
neighborbopil - of Lexington, rich nml
trls . (2:3 in the
immediate locality where the dwelling stood,
and we can scarcely imaiOne a more prop
er rtd-al home than Ashland once was for
such a man as Henry Clay. Itut its glory
has departed; genry Clay's home is razed to
the earth. It ws with a m ortified and dis
appointed spirit that we left Ashland end di
rected our way towards the cemetry, which is
on the other side` of Lexington from Ashland,
'tut near the closely - inhabited part of the
city. .
It is an exceedingly will selected spot, and
contains many handsome monuments. Our
chief desire, however, was to see the grave
of the " Great. Comm oner." We soon found
it.. It marked by no stone or monument.
The place of sepulchre, however, - is well se
lected. Henry Clay lies just where he ought
to—in the. heart of Kentu city. The spot is
beautiful and quiet, and "lie sleeps well."—
His grave is heaped up in the Usual form,
and covered with the green sward. It is.con
templated to build his monument on the .spot
•where he now rests. We own that we like
the simple beauty of his unmarked grave
better than we would
. monument. It bro . t
to our mind the grave of Sir Walter Scott,
in St. Mary's aisle, in the ruined Abbey of
Dryburgh. Scott's grave, like Clay's, bears
no monumental stone; the , green hillock
alone marks where he rests, But how quiet
and holy that rest (loth seem !

A RAT STORY.—The following rat story
was related ,to us by a neighbor, and did it
not come from a source which entitles it to
the utmost credit, we should feel somewhat
dubious about the truth of the matter ; but
as it is, we believe every word of it.
Our neighbor says that he was very much
barrassed by these animals, and bad devised
various , plans for their destruction. Among
the expedients emplOyed was a barrel placed
upright, which 'lie had prepared by sawing a
hole in the upper head about six inches
square. Bait was put into this barrel near
tbe'battoin, just above a few inches of water,
hoping that the rats might be induced 'to
jump in and be drowned.
Fromtime to time the delicious moresl was
taken away and no rats entrapped. Feeling
anxious to know by what means this was ac
complished, he placed himgelf in a to forable
position to watch progresL The secret was
soon out. Several rats soon collected, one
larger: than the rest taking the lead. This
one let himself down into the barrel by cling
ing to the edge of the opening. Near this
was a small auger hole, in which he inserted
one of his fore paws, while with' the other he
clung to the edge, of the larger hole, there
by -securing a firm
,grip. Then another
would descend until he could embrace the
first one round the hips, and so on till a per
feet
chain was formed tails downward, reach
ing the bait. Then a rat, which had 111 d
himself in reserve, ran down The chain and
bore away the prize! But the most curious
part of the storNr to come.- • Our inform
ant says that when the bait was brought out
ilot a rat ventured to touch it until the chain
was unlinked, and all were :present to share
in its disposal.—Westfield Transcript.
