then." "Well, then," said Mr.Temple, "I will introduce you to a Boston boy whom all the world became acquainted with after he grew to be a man." The story was as follows:-- BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
[BORN 1706, DIED 1790] In the year 1716, or about that period, a boy used to be seen in the streets of Boston who was known among his schoolfellows and playmates by the name of Ben Franklin.

Ben was born in 1706; so that he was now about ten years old.

His father, who had come over from England, was a soap-boiler and tallow-chandler, and resided in Milk Street, not far from the Old South Church.
Ben was a bright boy at his book, and even a brighter one when at play with his comrades.

He had some remarkable qualities which always seemed to give him the lead, whether at sport or in more serious matters.

I might tell you a number of amusing anecdotes about him.
