I UHL T KUSTEES of the Monticello High School
i coiigriitulate themselves upon having secured
tlio services of A. .8. Franklin A.M., as Principal
for 1859, at a salary of Fifteen Hundred Dollars,
who will be assisted in the Male Department by
Mr. John Almond, an experienced and successful
Teacher; and in the Female Department by Miss
Sarah E. Smith, of the Monroe Female University,
a thorough scholar and accomplished Lady. The
Principal was born and educated in the South ; is
identified with ns in feeling and interest; recom
mended by the Faculty of Emory and Henry Col
lege, Virginia, as a critical scholar and a matt of
rare ability for any place of superior responsibility;
by Profe-sors Smith and Williams, of Oxford, < ieor-
gta, as a laborious, critical, and successful teacher
oi the Classics ; and by many others as one of the
first Teachers and Scholars of the South. We,
therefore, take great pleasure in recommending
him to the friends and patrons of Education, and
solicit them for their patronage, believing that no
High School v ill alibi'd superior advantages to
ours. We, together with citizens of this place, ob
ligate ourselves to all that patronize the School, to
be vigilant in watching over the conduct of the
Students,and reporting to their Parentsaud Guar
dians faithfully; so that, from the vigilance of the
Teachers, Trustees and Citizens, there will be very
little, or no danger, of any bad habits being formed
by their sons and daughters while attending School.
YVe, as we intend to establish at this place a School
of a high grade, further obligate ourselveN to do
whatever will promote the interest of the School,
by freeing- it from immoral scenes, discountenanc
ing extravagance, and contemning all immoral and
vicious practices which are likely to corrupt

SO.YG OF THE COTTGY PLJ.YT.
tr JOHN ANTROEUS.
I slept in the eve of the golden sun,
rtN ttrsed by the breath of the tropic zone ;-
I drank the dews from a million flowers.
And fed on the balm from roses blown.
I lay in the gray of the early spring.
In the loamy banks of the parent stream ;
And 1 heard it ring of the lands it knew,
Where the frost w inds chant and the ice-lamps
gleam.
But soft and warm in the tropical soil,
I lay till the yielding earth w as green ;
And the air was thrilling with venial sounds,
And odious censors sw ung unseen.
Then awake with the sun at early dawn,
I rose, and mantled the genial mold ;
And over the tapestried plains of green.
1 scattered a bloom of burnished gold.
At noon, I tinted each quivering cup,
With rosy* streaks from the solar ray ;
And I kindled ablush of crimson flame.
Which purpled the blossoms at close of day*.
I arose in pride, as the summer gleams
Fell warm and fond on my emerald vest,
Add gladdened with life 1 lavishly hung
Thick, clustering bolls about my breast.
Oh ! I smiled when the nipping autumn's wind
Withered my leaves in the dead of night,
For Close at my heart was the dow ny fruit,
And mocked at the wandering midnight blight.
But. ah ! the triumph was mightier still,
When the subtle frost came stern and black ;
I rose in might, with a banner of light,
Aud flung my robes on his dreary track.
And lo ! when the sun, with misty eyes.
Looked forth on the work of the sullen night,
I met his gaze with a flood of rays
From a thousand flowering fields of white.
I jeweled the banks of that mighty* stream,
Which ever rolls to the sounding sea,
xYnd its solemn floods, where’er they go,
Bear forth some memory there of me.
I have crossed the deep, I have filled the isles,
I have made proud Europe own my* sway ;
And the anxious millions humbly wait
To carry* me on my regal way.
But you deem it strange (lo see me lie,
A simple plant in a fertile land,)
That I should stretch from coast to coast,
And hold the balance in my hand.
I hold the threads in the web of trade ;
Commerce is knit in the woof with me ;
Nations 1 hold with a simple braid,
While i laugh at War’s artillery*.
I abide awhile ‘mid sullen walls,
Dumb with the dinning of shaft and wheel,
While shivering mortals grimly watch
My panting throes on the burnished steel.
There a million spindles whiz and whirl,
And torture my heart with whirringspoom ;
But my* silken veins revive again,
In wond’rous forms from the heated loom.
Front cradle to grave I nurse and robe,
And blazon with vestments lordly man;
I flutler among the bridal guests,
And join with grief iu the funeral train.
I swathe the limbs of the royal babe,
The serf, and the freeman lowly’born ;
YYhiie I make the cerements for the king,
And the stinted shroud by the pauper worn.
I cherish the thoughts of mighty men, *
Front pen and press, on tlie snowy page ;
And lie in the broad and pregnant sheet
Which chronicles, time from age to age.
I have slaves at my heck, who dress my* fields,
And gather me in my lusty- prime ;
YY’ho laugh at the jeers of Northern seers—
Bubbles to break on the lip of Time !
The North may fume in its smoky* looms,
The West may* bide iu Us fields of grain ;
But with wings us white as cygnet’s breast,
I hie to the Sunny South again.
I pillow her head on my breast of down.
Strengthen and lengthen her bands of trade ;
Where I stretch my* wings her flight may be,
With banners of light and might arrayed.
Once in the dawn of a Nation’s day,
When struggling Freedom almost fell,
I rose hi her front with rampart-bales,
And bared my breast to the shot and shell.
Then freeman sped with a joyous shout,
And placed tlu-ir banners aloft with me;
YY hiie “Liberty,” with her sacred things,
Twined me iu her wreath ol victory.
Give hemp and flax to the grosser soil,
China the nest of the silk cocoon.
Give me the lands of the golden zone—
I’m King, aud the genial South my throne!
From the Y'alicy Farmer.

I3enj. Franklin, the self-taught Ameri
can philosopher, was perhaps the most ex
traordinary man that this country has ever
produced. It may he impossible*to gath
er from the history and labors of one indi
vidual mind more practical wisdom and
varied instruction than he has given to the
world. For many years he published the
Pennsylvania Almanac, called Poor Rich
ard (Saunders) and furnished it with many
wise sayings and proverbs which related
to topics of “industry, attention to one’s
own business, and frugality.” The most of
these lie finally collected aud digested in
the following general preface, which say
ings are so peculiarly adopted to the pre
sent times, tharf wo do not know that we
can do our readers better service than to
give them a place in the Valley Farmer.
These saying were not more applicable to
the people and the times one hundred
years ago than to the present, and their
teachings should never bo lost sight of,
until tite world >s much wiser and better
than it is at present ;
The Way lo Wealth, as clearly SJioicn in
the Preface of an old Pennsylvania Al
manac, entitled “ Poor Richard Improv
ed:’
“CouRTEors Reader.”—I have heard
that nothing gives an author so great
pleasure as to fine his works quoted respect
fully by others, then, how much I must
have been gratified by an incident lam
going to relate to you. I stopped my
horse lately where a great number of peo
ple were collected at an auction of mer
chant’s goods. The hour of the sale not
being come, they were conversing on the
badness of the times ; and one of the com
pany called to a plain, clean old man with
white loeks, “Pray, Father Abraham,
what think you of the times '? Will not
these heavy taxes quite ruin the country l
How shall we be able to pay them T-—
What would you advise us to ?” Fath
er Abraham stood up aud replied : “ifyoit
would have my advice, I will give it you
in short notice, for, ‘a word to the wise is
enough,’ as Poor Richard says.” They
joined in desiring him to speak his njind,
aud, gathering around him, he proceeded
as follows :
“Friends/’ said he, “the taxes are in
deed very heavy, and if those laid on by
tlie government were the only ones wo had
to pay, wc might more easily discharge
them, but we have many others, and much
more grievious ones to some of us. YYc
are taxed twice as much by our idleness,
three times as much by our folly ; and
from these taxes the commissioners can
not ease or deliver us, by allowing an abate
ment. However, let ns hearken to good
advice, and something may be done for us;
‘God helps them that help themselves,’
as Poor Richard says.
“I. It would be thought a hard govern
ment that should tax its people one-tenth
part of their time to be employed in its
service, hut idleness taxes many of us much
more ; sloth, by bringing on disease, ab
solutely shortens life. ‘Sloth, like rust,
consumes faster than labor wears, while
the used key is always bright,’ as Poor
Richard says. ‘But dost thou love life,
then do not squander time, for that is the
stuff life is made of,’ as Poor Richard says.
IIow much more than is necessary do we
spend in sleep, forgetting that ‘The sleep
ing fox catches nopoultry,’and ‘That there
•will be sleeping enough in the grave,’ as
Poor Richard says.
“Il‘ time be of all things the most pre
cious, wasting time must be,’ as Poor Rich
ard says, ‘the greatest prodigality,’ since,
as he elsewhere tells us, lost time is never
found again ; and what we call time
enough.’ Let us, then, up and be doing,
and doing to the purpose; so hy dili
gence we shall do more with less perplex
ity. Sloth makes all tilings difficult, but
industry all easy, and lie that riseth late
mu t trot all day, and shall scarce over
lake his business at night, while laziness
travels so slowly that Poverty soon over
takes him. ‘Drive thy business, let not
that drive thee, and early to bed and early
to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy amt
wise,’ as Poor Richard says.
“So what signifies wishing and hoping
for better times ? Wc make these times
better if wc bestir ourselves. ‘Industry
need not wish, and he that lives upon
hopes will die fasting. There are no
gains without pains ; then help, hands, for
I have no lands, or if I have, they are
smartly taxed, lie that hath a trade hath
an estate and he that hath a calling hath
office of profit and honour.’ as Poor Rich
ard says ; but then the trade must be work
ed at, and the calling followed, or neither
the estate nor the oilice will enable us to
pay our taxes. If we are industrious we
shall never starve ; for, ‘At the work-man’s
house hunger looks in but dares not enter.’
Nor will the bailiff or tlie constable en
ter; or‘Industry pays debts, while des
pair increascth them.’ What though you
have found no treasure, nor has any rich
relation left you a legacy ? ‘Diligence is
the mother of luck, and God gives all things
to industry. ‘Then plow deep while slug
gards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell
and to keep.’ Work while it is called to
day, for you know not how much you may
be hindered to-morrow. ‘One day to-day
is worth two to-morrows,’ as Poor Richard
says, and further, ‘Never leave that till to
morrow which you can do to-day.’ If you
were a servant, would you not he ashamed
that a good master should catch you idle 1
Are you, then, your own master ? Be
ashamed to catch yourself idle when there
is so much to be done for yourself, your
family and your country. Handle your,
tools without mittens ; remember that‘The
cat in gl >vcs catcle; no mice,’ as Poor
Richard says. It is true there is much to
be done, aud perhaps you are weak-hand
ed, but stick to it steadily, and you will
see great effects, for ‘Constant dropping
wears away stones,’and ‘By diligence and
patience the mouse ate through the cable,’
and ‘Little strokes fell great oaks.’
“Methinks I hear some of you say,‘Must
a man afford himself no leisure 1 I will
tell thee, my friend, what Poor Richard
says, ‘Employ thy time well, if thou mean
est to gain leisure, and since thou art not
sure ot a minute, throw not away an hour.’
Leisure is time for doing something useful;
this leisure the diligent man will obtain, but
the lazy man never, for a life of leisure
and a life of laziness is two tilings. Many,
without labor, would live by their wits on
ly, but they break for want of stock, where
as industry gives comfort, and plenty, and
respect. Fly pleasure, and they will fol
low you. *Tho diligent spinner lias a
large swift; and now 1 have a sheep and
a cow, every body bids me good-morrow.’
“II. But with industry we must like
wise be steady, settled and careful, and
oversee our own affairs with our own eyes,
and not trust too much to others ; for, as
Poor Richard says,
‘I never saw an oft removed tree,
Nor yet an oft rein ived family.
That thrive as well as those that settled he.’
“And again,‘Three removes are as bad
as a fire ;’ and again, ‘Keep tliy shop, and
thy shop will keep tlice ; and agaiu, ‘If
you would have year business done, go, if
not., send.’ Anil again,
‘He that by the plow would thrive,
Himself must either hold or drive.’
“And again,‘The eye of the master will
do more work than both his hands and
again, AY ant of care does us more damage
than want of knowledge.and again, ‘Not.
to oversee workmen is to them your purse
open.’ Trusting too much to others’ care
is the ruin of many. For in the affairs of
this world men are saved, not by faith, but
by want ol it. but a man’s own care is pro
fitable ; for Tf you would have a faithful
servant, and one that you like, serve your
self.’ A little neglect may breed great mis
chief; for want ot a nail the shoe was
lost; for want of a horse the rider was
lost, being overtaken and slain by the ene
my.’ All for want of a little care about a
horse shoe nail.
“III. So much for industry, my friends,
and attention to one’s own business; but
to tin i>e wc must add frugality, if we
would make our industry more certainly
successful. A man may, if he knows not
how to save as he gets, keep his nose all
bis life to the grindstone, and die not worth
a groat at last. *A fat kitchen makes a
lean will; and
‘Many estates are spent in getting,
Since women tor tea forsook .spinning and knit
ting,
And men for punch forsook hewing and split
ting.’
“If you would be wealthy, think of sav
ing as well as of getting. The Indies have
not made Spain rich, because her outgoes
are greater than her incomes.
“Away, then, with your expensive fol
lies, and you will not then have as much
cause to complain of hard times, heavy
taxes, and chargable families. And far
ther, AYhat maiutai.osffinc vice would bring
up two children.’ You may think, per
haps, that a little tea or a little punch,
now and then, can be no great matter, but
remember, ‘many a little makes a mickle.’
Beaware of little expenses; ‘A small leak
will sink a great ship,’ as Poor Richard
says; and again, ‘Who dainties love, shall
beggars prove,’ and moreover, ‘Fools make
leasts and wise men eat them.’
“Here you are, all together at this sale
of goods aud kuicknacks. You call them
goods; but, if fineries you do not take
care they will prove evils to some of you.
You expect they will be sold cheap, and
perhaps they may for less than the cost,
but, if you have no occasion for them, they
must be dear to you. Remember what
Puor Richard says, ‘Buy what thou hast
no need, and ore long thou shalt sell thy
necessaries.’ And again, ‘At a great pen
ny worth, pause a while/ He means that
perhaps the cheapness is apparent only,
and not real ; or the bargain, by Heighten
ing thee in thy business, may do thee more
harm than good. For in another place he
says, ‘Many have been ruined by buying
good penny’s worths. Again, ‘It is foolish
to lay out money in a purchase of repen
tance,’ and yet this folly is practised eve
ry day at auction, for want of minding the
almapac. Many a one, for the sake of
finery on the hack, have gone with a hun
gry belly ami half starved their families.
‘Silks and satins, scarlets and velvets, put
the kitchen fires out.’ as Poor Richard
says.
“These arc not the necessaries of life ;
they can scarcely be called the convenien
ces, and yet only because they look pret
ty, how many want to have them ? By
these and other extravagances, the genteel
are reduced to poverty, and forced to bor
row from those whom they formerly des
pised, but who, through industry and fru
gality, have maintained their standing, in
which ease it appears plainly that ‘A
ploughman on his legs is higher than a
gentleman on his knees,’ as Poor Richard
says. Perhaps they have had a small es
tate left them, which they knew not the
getting of ; they think ‘It is day and it
will never be night,’ that a little to be spent
out of so much is not worth minding ; but
•Always taking out of the meal tub and
never putting in, soon comes to the bottom/
as Poor Richard says ; and then, ‘When
the well is dry, they know the worth of
the water.’ But this they might have
known before if they had taken his ad
vice. Tf you would know the value of
money, go and try to borrow some, for lie
that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing,’
as Poor Richard says ; and indeed so does
lie that lends to such people, when lie goes
tu get it again. Poor Dick further advises
and says,
‘Fond pride of dress is sure a very curse,
Ere fancy you consult, consult your purse.
And again, ‘Pride is as loud a beggar as
want, and a great deal more saucy.’ When
you have bought one fine thing, you must
buy ten more, that your appearances may
be all of a price ; but Poor Dick says, ‘It
is easier to surppress the first desire than to
satisfy all that follow it. And it is as truly
folly for the poor to ape the rich, as for
the frog to swell in order to equal the ox.’
‘Vessels large may venture more
But little boats should keep Sear shore.’
“It is, however, a folly soon puuished,
for as Poor Richard says, ‘Pride that dines
on vanity, sups on contempt. Pride break
fasted with plenty, dined with poverty and
supped with infamy.’ And after all, of
what use Is this pride of appearance, for
which so much is risked, so inncli is suffer
ed ? It cannot promote health, nor ease
pain ; it makes no increase of merit in the
person ; it creates envy ; it hastens mis
fortunes.
“But what madness must it he to run in
debt for these superfluities ? We are offer
ed by the terms of this sale, six months
credit, and that perhaps, has induced some
of us to attend it, because we cannot spare
the ready money, and hope now to be fine
without it. But ah ! think what you do
when you run in debt; you give to another
power over your liberty. If yon cannot
pay at the time, you will be ashamed to see
your creditor, and will be in fear when
you speak to him ; you will make poor,
pitiful, sneaking excuses, and, by degrees,
come to lose you veracity, and sink into
base, downright lying ; for ‘The second
nice is lying, the first is running in debt/
as Poor Richard says, and again, to the
same purpose, ‘Lying rides on debt’s
back,’ whereas a free born ought not to be
ashamed, or afraid to see or speak to any
man living. But poverty often deprives a
mail of all spirit aud virtue. ‘It is bard
for an empty bag lo stand upright.’ What
would 3*ou think of that prince of that gov
ernment who should issue an edict forbid-
ingyouto dress like a gentleman or gen
tlewoman, on pain of imprisonment or sevi-
tude ? Would you not say* that you were
free, have a right to dress as you please,
and that such an edict would be a breach
of privilege, and such a government ty
rannical ] And yet 3*011 are about to put
yourself under such tyranny when you run
in debt for such dress ! Yrimr creditor has
authority at his pleasure to deprive you of
3'our liberty, by* confining you in jail till
you shall be able t.o pay him. When you
have got y T our bargain, you may, perhaps,
think little of payment, but as Poor Rich
ard says, ‘Creditors have better memories
than debtors ; creditors are a superstitious
set, great observers of set day s and times.’
The day comes round before you are
aware, and the demand is made before you
are prep a rod to satisfy it ; or if you bear
vo ir debt in mind, the time, which at first
seemed so long, will, as it lessens, appear
extremely short. Time will seem to have
added wings to his heels as well as his
shoulders. ‘Those have a short Lent who
owe money to he paid at Faster.’ At prc
sent you may think yourselves in thriving
circumstances, and that y r ou can bear a
little extravagance without injury, but
‘For ago and want save wliile you may—
No morning sun lasts a whole day.’
“Gain may* be temporary and uncertain,
but even while you live, expense is con
stant and certain. ‘It is easier to build
two chimneys than to keep one in fu
el/ ns Poor Richard says, so, ‘Rather go
to bed supperless than rise in debt/
“IV. Tliisdoctrine, my friends, is reason
and wisdom, but, after all, do not depend
too much upon y our industry, and frugality
and prudence, though excellent tilings, for
they will all be blasted without the bless
ing of heaven, and therefore, ask that
blessing humbly* and be not uncharitable
to those that at present seem to want it,
but comfort and help them. Remember,
Job suffered, and was afterwards prosper
ous.
“And now to conclude—^Experience
keeps a dear school but fools will learn in
no other/ as Poor Richard says, and scarce
in that, for it is true, ‘ Wc may give advice,
but wo cannot give conduct.’ However,
remember this, ‘They that will not be
counselled cannot be helped ;’ and further
that Tfyou will not hear Reason, she will
rap your knuckles/ as Poor Richard says.
“Thus the old man ended his harangue.
The people heard it and approved the
doctrine, and immediately practised the
contrary, just as if it had been a common
sermon ; for the auction opened, and they
began to buy extravagantly. I found tho
good man had thoroughly studied my al
manacs, and digested all I had dropped on
these topics during the course of twenty-
five years. The frequent mention he
made of me must have tired any one else,
but my vanity, was wonderfully delighted
with it, though I was conscious that not a
tenth part of the wisdow was my own
which lie ascribed to me, but rather the
gleanings that I had made of the sense of
all ages and nations. However, I resolv
ed to be the better for the echo of it, and
though I had at first determined to buy
stuff for a non* coat, I went away resolved
to wear my old one a little longer.—
Reader, if thou wilt do the same, the pro
fit will he as good as mine.

Qurr Phcnomcua of Intense Cold.
Of the cold, between the 8th and 10th
inst., at Ogdenburg, N. Yff, the Journal
say*s :
“A gentleman residing on the west side
of the bridge froze his faee and ears while
on his way to church, Sunday morning.
A man in passing from Johnson’s Hotel to
the Railroad depot,' both ears close to his
head. Time occupied in the passage, less
than five minutes.* A farmer attending
church in the villarge, froze his ears to tin*
very roots. One of the ferrymen between
this place and Prescott, while crossing tho
river, this Monday morning, froze four fin
gers. A small boy on his way to church,
Sunday morning, froze his nose. A young
man going from his home to tlic store where
he is employed, froze 011c thumb both cars
and his nose.
All night long, bath Saturdtty and Sun
day*, the action of the frost upon the ground,
side-walks, buildings and trees, produced
frequent reports not unlike the sound of
discharged fire-arms and field-batteries.
The parting of spikes in the side-walks
and the nails in the buildings afforded a
representation of a “scrimmage,” keeping
up a continuous pop, and frequently sev
eral lettin*> off tog-ether.
Indui.uenl’E in Di:ess.—YVe object to
any indulgence in dress that may justly
be considered extravagant. It envelopes
some of the most dangerous propensities
of the heart. * * There is a charming
incident iu the life of the Princess Char
lotte who was distinguished for artless
simplicity. < >n one occasion, a shawl of
uncommon worth and beauty, just receiv
ed from India, was handed to her for exam
ination. The price of it was three thousand
guineas. She returned it, saying: “lit
the first place I cannot afford to give three
thousand guineas for a shawl, and in tliu
second, a Norwich shawl, of the value of
half a crown, manufactured by* a native of
England, would become me better than
the costliest article which the loom of India
ever produced. •
IIow many females seek for the costli
est articles, and they will wear only those
of' foreign manufacture. Poor weak soul!
Princess Charlotte was an angel of light
beside them. We recommend the reader
to imitate the example of a lady in one of
the leading circles of Washington. A
gentleman complimented her upon the
simplicity and taste of her apparel. She
replied, “1 am glad you like my dress ; it
cost seven dollars, and I made every stitch
of it mvsclf.” It is very evident from tho
foregoing that dress is a good or evil edu
cator iu the family. As such it demands
the attention of parents that it may not
become a snare and curse to children.—
Perhaps the best rule to regulate dress is
that which Newton gave a woman who
asked his opinion. “Madam, so dress and
so conduct yourself, that persons who have
been in your company will not recollect
what you had on.”—Happy Home.
The Revival and the Ministry.—The
New York Observer mentions as one of
the effects of the late religious revival
that very large accessions have been made
in the Presbyterian divinity schools of the
country. One hundred and sixteen stu
dents are nowin the Theological Semina
ry at Alleghany city. This is a far lar
ger number than lias ever been in the sem
inary* before. Other seminaries arc also
filled with young men pressing into the
ministry. Princeton has more than one
hundred and sixty, and the village has
been largely called on to furnish lodgings
lor those who could not he accommodated
within the seminary buildings. The Uni
on Theological Seminary in New York city
has one hundred and twenty-four students,
and the cfJect gnneraly has been to direct
the attention of the thoughtful to sacred
subjects.
Valuable Hccines.
To ENTIRELY CLEAR OUT TIIE Red AnT.
Wash your shelves down clean, and while
damp rub fine salt on them quite thin, and
and let it remai:* on for a time, and they
will disappear.
To Prevent Motii% in Carpets.—Rub
or strew around the edge of carpets and on
t!icm salt and pepper, and they will not eat
them.
To DlSTr-f; 15 AND PREVENT Bed Bl’GS.
After cleaning the dust off, wash with
strong salt-water any thing they get on or
into.
The following is said to be an excellent
recipe for cleaning silk: Parc three Irish
potatoes into thin slices and wash them
well. Pour on them half a pint of boiling
water, and let it stand till cold. Strain
the water and add to it an equal quantity
of alcohol. Sponge, the silk on the right
side. The most delicate colored silks
may* be cleaned by this process, which is
equally applicable to cloth, velvet, or
crape.
Useful Recipe.— To clean marble, take
two ounces of common soda, one ot pumice
stone, and one of finely* powdered chalk ;
shift them through a fine sieve, and mix
them with water; then rub the mixture
well all over the marble, and the stains
will be removed ; now wash the marble
over with soap and water, and it will be as
clean as it was previous to its being stain
ed. Sometimes tlic marble is strained yel
low with iron rust ; this can be removed
with lemon juice.
