We cannot give eur lady readers a better treat than a Few of Franklin's in imitable proverbs, which appeared in his "Poor Richard's Almanac," between 1733 and 1753. They are replete with philosophy and instructions, a f'.ct wbieh is fully proved by their popularity every where throughout oar country at the time ot tneir publication. 1 hy were aJi pjiiUf.l in L.yg tlitVfTI r, erl modern Greek. Some grow mad by stndying much to know ; but who grows mad by studying good to grow t An egg to day is bcter than a hen to morrow. Law, like cob webs, catches small flies. Great ones break through before your eyes. If pride leads the van, beggary brings up the rear. Keep thy shop and thy shop will keep thee. Goi heals, the doctor takes the fees. He that would live in peace and ease, 'Must not spcuk all ha knows, nor judge all he sees. He that can travel well afoot, keeps a good horse. The worst wheel of the cart makes he most noise. He that falls in love with himself wi'l have no rival. Against diseases here, the strongest fence Is the defensive virtue, Abstinence. Tart words make no friends , a xpoon- tut ot iionoy will eaten more flies than a gallon ot iuepar. Drive thy business or it will drive thee. Beware of little expenses ; a small leak will sink a great ship. An ounce of wit that's bought, . la worth a pound that is taught. A ploughman on his legs is higher than a gentleman on his knees.

If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading ot do something worth writing. Nothing dr'es reoncr than a tear. Scarlet, silk and velvet have put jtit tbe kitchen fire. The first mistakes in public business is the going into it.

The follow ing and beautiful and touch ing extracts are taken from a letter writ ten by a dying wife to her husband, which was found by him, some time af ter her death, between the leaves of a re- j ligious volume, which she was very fond of eTusing. The letter, wbieh was lit- eaallyXim with t(,,ir marks, was written long before the husband was aware that the era"!1 f a fatal disease had fastened grasp upon the lovely form of his devoted wife, who, died, it is stated,, at the early age of nineteen. It shows how fathomless is the depth of a true woman's affectfom : "When this shall reach yoar eye, dear G., somt day when you are turning over the past, Tshall have passed away forer er and the rnld. while stone he It .ir.ii.o- it.

She was a Miss (.'hapiimii, of Virginia. Her mother was a Miss Mary Randolph, a great belle in Virginia many years ago. This Miss Randolph was especially noted for her fearlessness in riding. On one occasion, it is said when staying at the Warm Springs, in Virginia, she started out with a riding party for the Warm Spring Mountain, and dared the gentle men accompanying her to do whatever she did. The mountain is quite high, and has at its top a rock jutting out over a precipice. Tbe the extreme verge of this rock Miss Randolph rode to the great consternation of her friends She did not' even 1 avc iter horse room to turn round, but, having accomplished her purpose, she backed bim from the dangerous posi tion and faced tbe rest of the party in trinmph. Not a man would follow her example, hut one youthful piece of ii ex perience stood on his head in hisAaddle and dared the fiidf to do that.

In a resent lecture Horace Greely, with much good lha ranalrr with many ojf anoaarh to know better. tbetta, into sotfM. Most mcrcmui. anu manufacturer wtiose life is an incessant srrugghj with pecuniary dif ficulties, who is driven to constant "shin ing," end who, from month to month, barely evades that insolvency which sooner or later overtakes most men in business ; so that it has been computed that but one in twenty of them achieves a 1 . l i . . .7- lPccun,arv success, lot my own part and I speak from sad experience - I would rather be a convict iu a State pris on, a slave in a rice swamp than to pass through life under tba harrow of debt. Let co man misjudge himself unfortunate or truly poor, so long as he has the full use of his limbs and faculties, and is sub stantially free from debt. Hunger, cold, rags, hard work, contempt, suspicion, un just reproach, are disagreeable ; bat debt is infinitely Morse than them all ; and if it had pleased God te spare either or all of my sons to be the suppoit of my de clining years, the lesson' which I should most earnestly sought to impress upon them is, never to run into debt ! I re peat, my friends, avoid pecuniary obliga tions as you would pestilence and fam ine. If you have but fifty cents and can get no mors for a week, buy a peck of corn, parch it and live ou it rather than owe any man a dollar ! Of course, I know that some men must do business that involves risks, and must often give notes and obligations, and I do not con sider bim really in debt who can lay his hand directly on the means of paying at some little sacrifice, all he owes ; 1 speak of real debt, that which involves risk or sacrifice, on tbe one side, obligation and dependence on tbe other, and 1 say, from all such, let every youth humbly pray God to preserve him evermore ! - COVLDJI'T FIND THK VkrDICT.

The judge, af tor laying down the law and recapitulating the testimony, gave the papers into tbe hands of the foreman, a rather intelligent looking darkey, with instructions as soon as they found a ver dict to bring it in without fail. Thirty minutes or more elapsed, when the jury returned, headed by the fore man, and stood before the judge. As the foreman seemed to bejytc.,.ko judge inquired : 'Mr. Foreman, have you found a ver dict?' 'No, Maasa Judge, we habcu't found 'em no how,' replied the ebony jurymar. 'It's a very plain case,' naid the Judge. 'Can't help it, massa, couldn't see it,' replied ebony again. 'On what grounds,' inquired the Judge. 'We didn't look into ihe grounds, Mar sa Judge,' replied the loreman, 'the os sifer didn't take us out into de ground, but took us into a room and locked ns in, and tb us when we found de verdict ho would ieff us out. So we began to find de verdict, and seareh cbery nook, corner, crevis, and ebery ting dere was in dal room but we found no verdict no ntilliu ob de kiue dar. Grape Growing The Exptrienee of Practical wen. At the annual conren--.., tion of grape growers of New York State, the subject of planting and pruning grapes came in for a share of the discus sion, and the facts brought out showed that the system of long pruning and leav ing more wood than advisable to leave during tbe summer, resulted in producing ripened fruit before any other. The sha ding of the leaf upon the cluster was ah advance which prevented sun burning. The leaf is to the vine aa the lungs are te. the body, and the taking away oi tho leaf , produces disease in the root. The method of summer pruning, as punned by the German growers, was shewn to ultimately result in diseases to the vines. Grapes have better flavor by being sha ded. The proper system to pursue, ac cording to European viniculturists, is to let the vine run along the ground for a distance of fifteen or twenty feet before training it np the trellis. It was stated i that vines were seriouly injured by mu tilating the roots in plowing, and that it was advisable to use only a hoe km an im plement of cultivating-the ground at the roots Grape-vines sometimes extend fifteen feet iu a perpendicular course Over cropping was said to be almost snre to prevent grapes from ripening, though instances were where such was not the case.
