letter from Dr. Franklin to the Reverend George. Whitfield. Philadelphia, June 6, 1753. Dear sir I received your kind letter of the 2d ist. and am glad to hear that you increase in strength I hope you will continue mending until you recover your former health and firmness Let me know whether you still use the cold bath; and wh3t effect it has. As to the kindness you mention, I wish it could have been of more serious service to you; but if it had, the only thanks that I should desire are that you would always be ready to serve any other person that may need your assistance: so let good offices go round,

for mankind are all of a family. Ftr my own part, when I am employed in serving others, I do not look upon myself as confering favors hut as paying debts. In my travels, and since my settlement, I have rec eived much kind ness from men, to whom I shall never have an opportunity of making the least direct return; and numberless meicies from God, who is ii, finitely above being benefitted by our services. These kindnesses from men, I can, therefore, only return to their fellow-men; and 1 only show my grntitude to God by a readiness to help hi other children, and my brethren; for I do not think that thanks and compliments, tho' repeated weekly, can discharge our real obligations to other's and much less to our Creator. Y u will sec my notion of good work?, 8l that I am far from expecting to merit Heaven by them. B) Heaven we understand a state of happiness, infinite in degree and eternal in duration. I ran do nothing to deserve such a reward: he that for giving a draught ol water to a thirsty person should expect to be piid with a good plantation, would be modest in his demands, compared with those who think ihey deserve Heaven for the little good thry can do on earth. Even the mixed imperfect pleasures w- enjoy in this world, are rather from G-d's goodness thai, our merit: how much more so the happiness of heaven ? F r my part I hav not the vanity to thnk I deserve it, the folly to expect, or the ambition to desire it; but content my If in submitting to the disposal of that God who made me who has hitherto preserved and blessed me, and in whose fatherly goodness I may well confide that he never will make me miserable; and that the ifflfclion I may any time suffer, may tend to my benefit. The faith you mention has, doubtless, its use in the world. I do not desire to see it diminished , ncr would I desire to lessen it in any man; but 1 wish it were more productive of good works than I have generally seen it; I mean real good woiks works of kindness,

cnari',- mercy, and publio spirit; not holiday keeping, sermon hearing or reading; performing such ceremonies cr making long prayers, filled iciih compliments and flatteries despised even by ivise men much less capable of pleasing the Deity. The werehip of God is a duty the hearing and reading may be useful; but if men rest in hearing and praying, as too many do, it is as if the tree should value itself on being watered and putting forth leaves, though it never produced any fruit. Your good master thought much less of these outward appearances, than many of his modem disciples. lie preferred the doers of the word to the hearers; the son that seemingly refused

to obey his lather and yet performed his commands, to him that professed his readiness but neglected the work; the heretical but charitable Samaritan, to the uncharitable but orthodox priest and sanctified Levite; and those who gave food to the hungry, drink to the thirsty, and raiment to the nakpd, and entertainment to the stranger, and never heard of his name, he declares shall, in the last day, be accepted; when (hose who crv, Lord, Lord! who value themselves on their faith, though great enough to perform miracles, but have neglected good work?, shall be rejected. He professed that he came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance which implied his modest opinion that there were some in his time so good that they need not hear him even for improvement ; but now-a-days we have scarcely a liille parson, that does not third: it the duty of every man within his reach to sit under his ptty ministration, and that whoever omits this offends God. 1 wish to such, more humility; and to you, health and happiness. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

A YANKEE JUDGE AND A KENTUCKY LAWYER. Few persons in this country are aware of the difference that exists between our manners and those of the people of the Western States. Their elections, their courts of justice, present scenes that would strike us with astonishment and alarm. If tbe jurors are not, as has been asserted, ruo down with dogs and guns, color is given to charges like this, by the. repeated successful defiances ot law and judges, that occur, by the waul of dignity and self-respect evinced by the judges themselves, and by the squabbles and brawls that take place between members of the bar. Taere is to be found occasionally there, however, a judge cf decision and firmness, to compel decorum even among the most turbulent spirits, or at least to punish summarily all violations of law and propriety. The following circumstances, which occurred in K mucky, were related to us by a gentlt-man who was au eye witness ef the whole transaction. Several yean since Judge R , a native of Connecticut, ivas holding a court in Danville. A cause cf conid"able importance came on, and Mi. D , then a lawyer of considerable eminence, and afterwards a member of Congress, who resided in a distant part of the State, was present to give it his personal supervision. In the course of Mr. D's argument he let fall some profane language, for which he was promptly checked and reprimanded by th Judge. Mi. D. accustomed Jo unrestrained license of tongue, retorted with great asperity, and muoti harshness of language. Mr. Clei k, -said the Judge coolly, put down twent) dollar fi. e to M. D By G , said Mr. I). I'll mver pay a cent of it under heaven, and Til swear as much as 1 please. Put down another fine of twenty do!lais, Mr. Clerk. kT!l -ee the devil have your whole feneration," rr joined Mr. D. "before my pockets shall he picked by a cursed interloper." "Another twenty dollars fine, Mr. Clerk."

Hercule9 became irresistable, and he invited him to his room, and inquired who he was, and what object he had in view in watching his movements thu pertinaciously. "Why you see," said the stranger, ejecting a quid of tobacco that might have freighted a small skiff, "I'm a ring taifd roarer from Big Sandy River, I can outrun, out jump, and outfigii' any man in Kentucky. They itll'd me in Danville, that tbis'ere lawyer was comin' down to give ycu a licking. Now 1 had'nt nothing agin that, only he wa'nt a going to give you fair play, go I come here to see yea out, and now it you'l only say the word, we can flog him and his mates in the twinkling ol a quart pot." Mr. D. soon learned the feeling with which the champion regarded him, and withdrew without attempting to execute his threats of vengeance upon tht Judge. All. Palladium.

see , 81 r; null can lei! ) u, 1 understand no such joking; and b) G sir you wili do well to make an end f it." 4iMr. Clerk, eaid lb judge with great ccmpoure, add twenty dollars more o the fine, and hand the account to the Sheriff. Mr D, the money must be paid immediai'l, or I shall commit

you to prison." The violence of the lawyer compelled the judge to add another fine; and before night, the obstreperous banister was swearing with all hi3 might to the bare walls of the ccunty j ni. The session of the Court was terminated, and the lawyer seeing no prospect of escaping through the mercy cf the judge, after a fortnight's, residence in prison, paid his fine of one hundred and twenty dollars, and was then released. He now breathed nothing but vengeance. "I'll teach the Yan kee scoundrel," said he "that the Kentucky bar is not to be treated in this manner with impunity." The Judge held his next court at Frankfort, and thither Mr. D. repaired to take revenge for the personal indignit) he had suffered. Judge R. is as remarkable for resolute fearlessness, as for talents, firmness and integrity, and after having provided himself with

defensive weapons he entered upon the discharge of his duties with most philosophic indiff-ience. On passing from his hotel to the court house, the Judge noticed a man of great size, and evidently of tremendous muscular strength, following him so closely as to allow no one to step between. He observed, also, that Mr. D. supported by three or four friends, followed hard upon the heels of the stranger, and oo entering the court room, posted himself as near the seat of the Judge as possible; the stranger mentioned taking care to interpose his huge body between the lawyer and the Judge. For two or three days, matteis went on in this way ; the stranger sticking like a burr to the

Judge, and the lawyer and his assistants keeping as near as possible, but refraining from violence. At length the curiosity ol Judge R. to learn some thing of the purpose cf the modern

If there be any oih within this village, any dear lover o ardent spirits, to him I ray that our love of ardent was not less than his. If then hat lover demand why we rose against ardent spirits, this ia our aower, not that we loved the ardent less, but that we loved health and a sound constitute n more. Had you rather that ardc inspirits were ruling, and die all rumburnt knaves, than that the ardent were

condemned, and live stout hardy honest christian? As the ardents were pleas ant we tasted then), as they recruited our spirit-:, we drank them: but as the) were ruinous, wer-purned them There are tastes for their pleasantness, sips fur iheir xhilaration, drams for their recruiting power, but banishment and delectation for their ruinous tendency. Who is here so brutal that he would be a drunkard? if any, gulp-hiccup reel for him have we offended. Who is here so fochsh as would be a snaggen-i ? It any, brawl, for him have we ofTeoded. Who is hre so mad thM will not raiud

health? If any let him speak his burn

lor him have we offended.

We pause for a reply. None? then none have we offended. We have done no more to the ardent than they should do to u. The act of their banishment is recorded on the private page9 of the Corporation journal: Their usefalnes3 not extenuated wherein they were worthy, nor their injurious tendency enforced for which they are banished? Here comes the dealer of ardent spirit?, mouruing'over a broken bottle, who, though he had no hand in its destrue tion, shall reap advantage from its loss a piece of silver in its stead: as which of you will noi? Wrih this we depart; for th good of our village we have reserved the same puroshmeni for ourselves whenever it shall please you to mtlict it. Opelousas, L. October 7. Continued Drought. 'Since about the 1st of August we have had no rain in this part of the country- The navigable streams are almost dry, and I he small creeks and ponds which generally watered the cattle in the prairies have entirely disappeared. The catlle suffer greatly in consequence. The dust in our streets has got to such a degree that we cannot move without being suffocated by the clouds

winds prevalent at this season.

but little if any damage, being short,

but containing a juice of superior

sweetness, capable of yielding probably

as great a quantity of sugar. Accounts from Georgia and S. Carolina mention the almost total destruc tion of the Cotton Crops by a severe gale of wind. In Tennessee and Alabama they are also far from good, on account of the extreme dryness of the season. Gazette. A Powerid Reminder. A minister and churchwarden were talking of the dissoluteness of the sexton. "I know of but one way of making him think of hh latter end," said the Minister, "and that is, to make him toll the funeral bell." "Ae,sure enough," replied the churchwarden, "he would coi stantly have a rope before his eyes then."

In Queen Mary's time, it is said square toed shoes were all the go, and dandies were prohibited, by proclamation, from wearing them more than six inches square. Ai another time sharp toes toan inconvenient length, and turned up at the point, were, the mode. I o every age, fashion appears to have consisted in extravagance j and nine times out of ten, in destroying the human form divine. Good taste is as superior to fashion in matters of dress, as the beauties of the naiural flower to the aud) productions of the artificial flo rist. The judicious display of the beauties of form and feature, not the unnatural distortion or concealment of them, is the proper object of dress.
