FRANKLIN's ToAsr.-Long after Washington
victories over the French and English had made
his name familiar over Europe, DR.. Franklin
chanced to dine with the English and French
Ambassadors, when, as nearly as can recollect
the words, the following toasts were drank:


BY the British Ambassador" Engand-The
sun whose beams enlighten and fructify the re-
motest corners of the earth.


The French Ambassador, glowing with nation
al pride, drank: France-The moon whose mild,
steady and cheering rays, are the delight of all
nations; consoling them in darkness, and making
their dreariness beautiful.


DR.. Franklin then arose, and with his simpli-
city, said; "Washington--The Joshua who COM
manded the sun and moon to stand still, and they
obeyed him."
