Endeavor to learn to swim, -for a knowledge of this art has been frequently the means, under Providence, of prolonging life. DR. FRANKLIX, when a boy, used to practice the method of swimming that is shown in the cut. His comrade took his clothes around the pond, and he crossed it by means of his kite, which drew him along in the water with the greatest pleasure imaginable. He was a remark- ably good swimmer. 21 BKNJAMIN FRANKLIN, What lad is there who has not heard of DR BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, the ...great American Phi' losopher and Statesman ? He was once a poor boy wandering up and down in the earth ; and by very careful attention to his manners, and in- dustrious and studious conduct, he stored his mind with a fund of useful knowledge, and rose, by degrees, to the most honorable stations amongst men. The picture above describes the interview he had, when a travelling boy, with the governor of New- York, in his library, by whom he was treated with great civility, and marked kindness. Now this is very encouraging to every one, rich or poor ; for the way is open to all to be respect- ed and useful in their day.
