The Late Benjamin Franklin.
MARK TWAIN, IN THE GALAXY. w
The srtbject of this memoir was of a vi-
cious disposition. and ee rly prostituted his
talents to the invention off maxims calculat-
ed to inflict suffering the rising genera-
tion of all subsequent ages. His simplest
acts, also, were contrived with a view to
their being held up for the emulation of
boys forever, boys who might otherwise
have been happy. It was in this spirit
that he became the son of a soap boiler,
and probably for no other reason than that
the efforts of all future boys who tried to
be anything might be looked on with
sus,
picion, unless they were sons of soap boil-
ers. With a malevolence withoutp...ar.allel
in history, he would work all day and sit
up nights and let on to be studying algebra
by the light of a snouldring fire, so that
all other boys might have to' do that also,
or else have Benjamin Franklin thrown by
to them. Nowadays a boy cannot follow
out a single natural instinct without turn bi-
ing over some of his everlasting aphorisms.'
If he buys two cents' worth of peanuts, his
father says; "Remember what. Franklin has
said, my son. 'A groat a day's a pound a
year,' '' and the comfort is all gone out of
those peanuts. If he want to spin his top
when he has done his work, his father
quotes "procrastination is the thief of—
time." r If he does a "virtuous action he
never gets'iinything for it because "virtue
is its own reward." I desireto do away.
with the somewhat prevalent calamitous
idea among heads of families that Franklin
aquires his great genius by working for, no-
thing, studying by daylight, and getting up
in the night instead of waiting till morning
like a Christain, and that this prograrnme,
rigidly inflicted, will make a Franklin,
any fathers fool. It is ti is time that these
e
gentlemen were finding out that these ex-
ecrable eccentricities of instinct and eon -
duct are only the evidences of _ genius, not
the creators of it.

Mark T wain) "consists of thirty-six a

BOATING AT OXFoRD.—Tired as I was by
a long day's ram ble through courts, chapels,
libraries, alleys, botanical gardens, and
cricket grounds, I could Lot resist the fasci-
nation of the boat -race pig; the Cherwell in.
the evening.' Those who have read 'f Tom
Brown at Oxford" will easily- recall the
scene as depicted by the genial author.—
Those who have not, and are curious about
an Oxford boat -race, had better do so ; for
with suchia description in print, I should
hardly venture to attempt another. A
brclige, over which runs the main street
leading to the river (it is little more than
a deep r creek), commands a view of the
stream down to the first bend. Standing
here, the spectator sees the boat -houses, and
the scores of light and graceful boats j ist
beneath him. On the left, almost down to
the bend, .the 'river- is lined with barges,
with flags flying, bands of music playing,
and crowded with the fair friends of the
athletes. Through the trees on the same
side, we catch glimpses of the crowds hur-
rying g through= the beautiful grounds.- of
Christ Church. to join the crowd already at
the barges. On the -right of the stream
groups are moving up toward the bend, each
variegated with bright colors by the gay
boating dresses of the students. Up and
down the stream are shooting craft of all
discriptions, from the eight -oared race boat
to the little cockle -shell in whichsomestout
undergraduate sits doubled up like a two -
foot ruie, and propelling himself Indian
fashion, with a single paddle. The boats
row up the stream, and start about
a mile. above the bridge. The scene,
as they round the last bend and lay then-
selves out for a home stretch, is one of the
wildest excitement, The eager crowds on
the banks keep pace with the rowers.—
Members of the various colleges run along
the banks, each screaming to. his crew,
"Well rowed, Merton I" "Well rowed,
Oriel !" The occupants of the barges . catch
the furore as the boats approach, and the
excitement attains its climax as, just before
THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
reaching the first barge, 'there is a "bump"
—that is' the boat overlaps the stern of the
one in front ; and so, amid the waving of
scarfs and handkerchiefs, and the plaudits
of fair hands and sweet voices, and the tri-
umphal blare of cornets and trombones the
victorious boat passes to the winning
post.
A WILD MAN OF THE Woons.---A very
scantily dressed negro has lately, been terri-
fying the peoplerof Magnolia, Louisiana.—
When first seen in that neighborhood, Ile
was observed by a white man near Magnolia,
seated upon a fallen tree, eating pine cones.
On being approached he ceased to- eat, and
threw himself on all fours, at the same time
scratching up the earth like- a terrier on
the scent of a rat or other vermin, until he
managed to get out of sight. When next
seen it was eight miles - below, near the
railroad station at Chataway. Every effort
to get him to talk to anyone, even of his
own color, failed, and on being approached
he fled rapidly away until he was seen no
more. He manifests no savage or . brutal
qualities, but seems to entertain an abso-
lutedread of intercourse with human be-
ings. He appeared to be about twenty-five
years of age, well built and healthy. His
finger nails have grown to an enormous
length, resembling the claws of some wild
feline animal. It is believed that he was
originally .a runaway, and that he has for
years lived in the swamps, and is not aware
of the emancipation' of his race. Some also
believe that be is identical with the wild
man desdiibect in Harper's Weekly having
been seen near Vicksburg a year or more
ago.
CREEDS AND ANI3IALS.—A gentleman
travelling iii Texas met en the road a wag
gon drawn by fo ur oxen driven by a coun
tryman, who, in addition to- the skilfu
flourish mid crack of his whip, was vocifer-
ously encouraging bis horned horses `aftei
this fashion :—"Haw, Presbyterian ! Gee,
Baptist ! Whoa, Episcopalian ! ` Get up,
Methodist !" The traveller stopped the
driver, relna<rking that he had strange 'names
for his oxen, and he would like to know
why he thus called them. Saicl the driver :
—".T_call this ox Presbyterian because he
is true blue and never fails to pull through
difficulties and holds -out to the end ; be-
sides he knows more than the rest. I call
this one Baptist because he is always after
water, and seems as though he would never
drink enough ; then again, he wont eat
with the others. I call this ox Episcopalian
because 'le has a mighty way of holding up
his head, and if the yoke gets a little too_
tight he tries to -kick and draw clear out of
the track. I call this ox Methodist be-
cause he puffs, and blows, and bellows as
hegoes-along, and you'd think he was pull-
ing all creation but he don't pull a pound
unless you continually stir hien up."—La-
