MAGNETIC TELEeRAPH.-We notice that some of
our contemporaries getting alarmed for the ia
vorabe operation of the magnetic telegraph, be-
cause the wire between Newark and Philadelphia
was found severed on Sunday last, preventing the
European intelligence from being conveyed TO the
latter city by that means.
The probability is that this sudden cold weather so
operated upon the wire as to cause it TO snap, and
that it was not, as the superstition is, malicious at
tempt to stop the news.
We have no fear for the success Of the telegraph,

stages OF its operation accidents will happen as they
always have and always will happen on the intro
dacton OF any new mode of conveyance, or, in
TACT, any new machinery. Wnen steam engines
were first put in OPERATION all sorts OF accidents hap
pened to them. These difficulties are nothing more
than may be expected. They will soon be overcome.
and before long a connection will be established

WOnan's VOiOo.

How sonsoling to The mind oppressed
by heavy sorrow, is the voice of ar ami
able woman. Like sacred music it i'm
parts 10 the soul feeling of celestial ser>
entity, and as gentle zephyr refreshes
the wearied senses with its soft and msIif,
luous tones. Riches may avail much in
the hour of afflction: the friendships Of
man may alleviate for time the bitterness
of woe; but the. angel voice of woman Is
capable producing lasting effect on the
heart, and communicates a sensation Of
delicious compo.ure which the mind new
err before experienced. even in the mos
ments of its highest felicity.

PLEASANT SURPRISE.

A young man, of eighteen or twenty, a
Student in university, took walk one
day with professor, who was commonly
called the students friend, such was his
kindness to the young men whose office il
was 10 instruct.
While they were now walking togeth-
er, and The professor seeking 10 lead the
conversation to grave subjects. they
saw pair Of old shoes lying in their path
which they supposed to belong to poor
man who was at work in the field close by,
and who had nearly finished his days
work.
The young student turned TO the pro-
lessor, saying. "let US play the man a
trick; we will hide his shoes, and con-
ceal ourselves behind those bushes, and
watch to see his perplexiiy when he can
not fnd them"
"My dear FRIEND" answered the pro-
lessor, eve must never amuse ourselves
at the expense of the poor. But you are
rich, and you may give yourself much
greater pleasure by means Of this poor
man. Put dollar into each shoe, and
then we will hide ourselves
The student did so, and then placed
himself with the professor behind the BUSH
es close by, through which they could ea>
silly watch the laborer, and see whatever
wonder or joy he might express.
The poor man had soon finished his
work, and came across the field to the
path, where he had left his coat and shoes
While he put on the coat, he slipped one
foot into one of his shoes but feeling
something hard, he stopped down and
found the dollar. Astonishment and won>
der were seen upon his countenance he
gazed upon the dollar, turned ii around.
and looked again and again then he look.
eG round him on all sides, but could see
no one. Now he put the money in his
pocket and proceeded to pu. on the other
shoe; but how great was his astonish-
ment when he found the other dollar J.
His feelings overcame him; he fell upon
his knees, looked up 10 heaven and utter
ed aloud fervent thanksgiving, in which
he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless,
and his children without bread whom this
timely bounty from some unknownG hand
would save from perishng.
The young man stood there deeply az
fected, and tears filled his eyes:
"Now," said the professor, " are you
not much better pleased than if you had
played your intended trick"
10 dearest Sir" answered the youth,
"you have taught me lesson now that
] will never forget. feel now the truth
OF the words which never before UNDER
stood, "is is better to give than to re-
ceive."'
We should never approach the poor but
with the wish 10 do them good.

No. [.
I. is proposed 10 publish in this paper a
series OF numbers, on the ilnperfections OF
the system of accounting in this State
The subject will be essentially financial
and the objec, the proper administration Of
the public revenue. In treating The sub
ject, we design to speak of The law relating
to fees, and accounting, as it was, from
1897 TO 1912 ;-and from 1912 TO 1915,
when a new law was enacted essentially
changing the system introduced by the act
of 1912.
In speaking of the old law, in force be-
fore 1912, we shall consider its defects
the remedy applied by the act Of 1912,
with the cause OF the repeal or essential
modification of the act of 1912, by the acl
Of 1916; also comment upon the act OIL
I845-consider its defects as contrasled
with the act of l842, and its probable op-
Grafton upon our finances, while it shall
continue ia force. Our remarks upor
these laws must necessarily be brief arc
somewhat desullory. The law existing
for As years before 1872 regulating feet
and accounting, though modified from

EART4,S CARES.


NV Joyous days Of youth are past,
And manhood's cares are round me now;
And though they fade away so fast,
They leave their impress on my brow
Those marks of deep corrodlng grief,
That looks not earthward for relief.
They leave their impress on the mind,
That erst hath scorned the worlds control
Which mortal power could never bind,
And fetter down the burning soul
To this benighted care-worn sphere,
Which is its babitation here.
Yet why repine? The world is wide,
And years are left me still in store;
So let whatever may betide,
Earth's cares shall never haunt me more:
III flee away on fancy's wing,
TO where immortal pleasurse spring;
And ride above the storms of life
Above the ills that vex us here
Above the feuds and bIck'ring strife
That mar this dark terrestrial sphere.
I'll flee on faiths bright wing above,
Where dwell immortal peace and love.
Thou mighty Power! that quell'st the storm
hllu stay SL llo lcthPSSt III ''o
That gav'st to chaos self form,
By thine all potent power andmight,
Look from thy throne above the sky,
With mercy's kind and plying eye,
And, grant that may shun the snares,
The latent ills that Turk around
That may shun life's gloomy cares,
Wherever met, whenever found
That may run pure virtues course,
And shun the stings of fell remorse.
Grant that my days may pass away
In peaceful pleasures while l llvei
And when meet my dying day,
May Heaven in mercy then forgive
The faults the foibles and the strife
That mark the course Of human life:
For they are such as all must know
Who dwell upon this dreary earth,
Where life is but "a fleeing show"
Marked by sad and sick'ning dearth,
Of all the real peace and love
Which fill the realms ofight above. E.
