Examine VOljr RillS


The following, extracted by the
Boston Transcript from one Of it
Southern papers, is quite an opposite
hint TO examine your bills.
A merchant of Mississippi, during a
days business in which he had been
crowded with customers, sold sad
die ofthe value of forty dollars. but
neglected TO make the charge. Next
day he missed the saddle and rccol'
lected the fact of the sale, but not the
individual who had bought it. After
racking his memory for some time tc
no purpose, he directed his clerk jim
to turn TO bis ledger alphabet and
read off the WIS, then the SIS. the
B's, the C's, and other letters in sue
cession; all to no purpose. Tired out
With the mental exercise, and as the
readiest way Of settling theSdifliculty,
"Jm," said he, "charge a saddle to
every one of the customers" This
was accordingly done.
When the planters had got their
cotton in and settling time came
round. the bills were presented, and,
if occasionally one man more prudent
than his neighbors went through the
drudgcry of examining long list Of
sundries got by different members of
the family he might possibly discover
IA saddle which they had not got, or
one more than they had got, and, OBJ
jecting to the item, it would be struck
out of course, alledging there was
some mistake. When all the ac.
counts had been settled up, well

customers paid you for that saddle?

ployer, 'for the trouble we have had

Thou standest at the altar
A fair and happy bride,
And he is thy hearts chosen,
The noble youth beside;
Al manly virtue shineth
In his proud and beaming glance,
And woman's sweetness haliows
Thy gentle countcnance.
True love, the pure, the heavenly,
Abideth in each breast,
And lofty brow and fervent eye
Betray the angel guest;
Betray the hearts o'erbrmmne
With loves divine excess,
With the fond, restless yearning,
Each others life to bless.
Aud shall the harsh world alter
That holy marriage hymn?
The flame so brightly mounting,
In earthly mists grow dim?
Oh, pray that God be with you,
Fond husband, trusting wife!
His grace can alone battle
The subtle foes of life.
Thou dreamest, lovely maiden,
Thy heart can never change,
THAT none Of all Gfe'strials
Or cares can his estrange;
Yet beings all as warm and fond,
In youths uncIouded day,
Have lived to mourn the pershing
OF all Your hopes portray,
In youths high thoughts your hearts are
But that will pass with years; [strong
The hopes that shine so gloriously,
May scarcely CLEAN through tears
Canst keep thy faith unchanged, undimm'd
Young maiden fond and true,
Though all the beauty of thy life
Depart like morning dew?
Not as thou dreamest is this life
We all must bear below,
Not the sweet round of love and joy
1t seemeth to thee now
Never through mutual love alone,
Endeavor as it may,
Doth the rare flower of human bliss
Grace any lnortal's way.
Canst bear from him, thy worshiped one
Cold word and altered eye,
And ON his wandering heart the while,
Shine like the stars on high?
Canst wholly purify the soul
From selfish thought and will,
And ever, tempted though thou be,
Return him good for i'll?
Thus only hope for happiness
To bless thy welded life;
The love that looks to God, alone
Endureth the worlds strife.
Only the pure and heavenly air
BY Jesus spirit breathed,
Can keep the holy flower of love
Around your home enwreatheG.

Magnetic Telegraph.

scene, we VIII VeEtufe 10 say, mas never
had its parallel on this earth, and is the
legitimate offspring of that strange inven-
ton, the magnetic telegraph, an inven-
tion 10 which the public attention at this
moment is so much and universally at
trached.
On Saturday evening last, June 9Th,
Professor Morse, The inven Tor and super
intendent of the Magnetic Telegraph, and
his assistant, Mr.. Vail, at their office at
Washington, wished to test the integrity
of the telegraph line the whole distance
through from Washington to New York,
distance Of not less than $50 miles. The
better to understand the singularity of the
scene we are about to record, the reader
must imagine four individuals, one at the
Office of Washington, one at Baltimore,
40 miles distant, one at Philadelphia, lO8
miles farther, and one at New York, ll2
miles farther. The officers are at each of
these places, and communication des-
patched from any one is written and un-
dcrstood instantly at all others. We shall
designate the operators by the names of
the different p leces at which they are sta
toned.
Observation-Disclosures, are you in con-
nexlon with Philadelphia?
Baltimore-Yes.

Wash-New York, how are you?
IN. York does not answer.)
Phila-Hallo N. York, Washington Is
talking TO you. Don't you hear him? Why
don't you answer.
N. York; don't get any thing from
him.
Wash-I get that from N. York
Phila-N. York, Washington says he
gets that from you.
Balt-How is it that Washington hears
from N. York, and N. York does not hear
from Washington?
Phila-There's where I'm hoored.
Balt-What is the reason, Washing
ton?
Wash-Becalsc N. York has not proper
