Rise early, was an injunction of Dr. Franklin, and he never advised us to our injury. An hour in the morning is as good as an hour at night, and no expense is incurred for candle.. As it respects health, a man may safely calculate tp live ten years longer for rising betimes, and the efJVct upon the beauty is equally great. The bloom given to the cheek of a lady by the fresh and pure air ofthe rnornin, is a bloom that will not fade away every time she washes her face; and the lltshe which her eve will catch from the risitifj sun, will outshine all the light which can be caught from the midnight chandelier. A Fastidious Fisherman. An old bl.ick fellow, fishing in the Dlaware, near Point-N'o-Point a day or two since, was seen to haul up several fine rockfish, which he had no sooner disengaged from his hook, than he threw them into the water. When asked the reason of his strange proceding, he drew himself up. and vl'ith a counlpnnncn which if ivns im possible to say whether haughtiness or indignation predominated, replied ' Ven 1 nsh.es lor catty, (meaning catfish), I II ketch catty, and have nothing to do vid dese feller tell I want hiuv." who want personal attractions take strange means sJ paying court, and en deavoring to open the way for themselves.

The farmer was nearly as much interest ed fjrthe character of iiis servant as he ua for his own, and so soon as he dis covered the authoress, made her a suita ble return. But he made ample amends to Betty for the injury she had suffered, and, at the same time, rewarded her for her services, by taking her for his wife. By this event, the lady, whose intentions had b en well understood, and who had thought of aggrandizing herself at the expense and ruin of poor Betty, found that she had contributed the very means the toun on MondVv. an' ifet vour Lks o' ANECDOTES OF BIRDS, By Capt.
