Searching for quote, Ben Franklin on switching from Julian to Gregorian calendar

Question

Can somebody help me find the quote that this paraphrase comes from. I am translating and I can't find the original quote.
When Britain and its colonies switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar in 1752 Benjamin Franklin, who was then 46, didn't think about losing 10 days. He looked on the bright side, and advised his readers to do the same. In his newspaper, Poor Richard's Almanac, he wrote, Dear reader, do not be look upon the loss of 10 days with wonder or scorn. Do regret the the removal of 10 days from the calendar. All those who love sleep can console themselves by thinking about how wonderful it will be to go to bed on the second of the month and to sleep until the morning of the 14th.

Sorry, I couldn't find it. Franklin put an essay about the calendar into his 1752 "Poor Richard's Almanac" (almanacs are usually yearly, not daily or weekly like "newspapers") and you find the text here, but it has nothing like the line you quote:

There's a newsgroup on quotations called alt.quotations that you might try.
(By the way, there's something about that line "by thinking about" that sounds modern to me. "Thinking of" is more like Franklin's day, and perfectly clear today as well. And you see the extra "be" in the first sentence?)

Well, the OP did say it was a "paraphrase", perhaps translated back to English from another language.
This looks like the original:

Be not astonished, nor look with scorn, dear reader, at such a deduction of days, nor regret as for the loss of so much time, but take this for your consolation, that your expenses will appear lighter and your mind be more at ease. And what an indulgence is here, for those who love their pillow to lie down in Peace on the second of this month and not perhaps awake till the morning of the fourteenth.

You pull the most amazing rabbits out of hats. How did you find that quotation, with practically nothing the same as what we were given? I see "scorn" and "second of the month," not much more.

Reminds me of "Rip Van Winkle".

Googling for turned up a partial quote in the second hit then I just searched for the phrase "those who love their pillow" to get a link with the full quote and attribution.
