A FAST TRAvELLER.-The electric telegraph
is bound to remain mystery to the million, and the
ludicrous conceptions of its modus operandi, which
some of the most ignorant people have formed, are
as mirth-provoking anything out of Rabelais or
SmolIet The last illustration Of this that has fallen
under eye, is the following story from the Pitts
burgh Journal:
Not long since, an old lady entered O'Reily's of
flee in this city, and said she had message TO send
to Wheeling. In few minutes her note was depos-
tied in dumb waiter and assembled in a mysterious
manner through the ceiling.
els that going straight TO Wheeling?'' inquired
the old lady, with her eyes bent upon the ceiling.
eyes ma 'am, :" answered the clerk.
81 never was there, continued she, "but it hardly
seems possible that the town hes it that direction.
When will get answer Mr. Telegraph ?''
81 can scarcely tell, ma'am-it may be two or
three hours''
The old lady went away, and returned in exactly
two hours. Just as she entered the door, the dumb
waiter came down through the ceiling.
ssThere is your answer, ma'am,'' said the clerk.
The old lady took the neat yellow envelope in her
hand, with smile of mingled qualification and as
constituent. ''Now this beats all,' exclaimed she.
''Bless my heart All the way from Wheeling, and
the wafer still wet That's an awkward looking box,
but it can travel like pizen !"

From the Cincinnati Commercially

OH, THE WEARY, WEARY DAY.
By MRS. SARAH I. BOLTON.
OH the weary, weary day,
Lingers sadly on my heart;
And seems to stay, despitefully.
To keep our souls apart.
But Wen meet alone, tonight,
By the silvery sounding streams
And ever blooming bowers,
In the fairy-land of dreams.
Once again I'll lay my head
On thy fond and faithful breast,
And hear thee softly calling me
Thy beautiful, thy best.
Heart to heart, our lips will meet
In affections glowing kiss;
And o, it will be JOY to feel
That none can know our bliss.
With my trembling hand in thine,
We will wander far away,
And whisper all the boarded love
We may not tell by day.
And the angels passing by,
With their b. ows so pure and pale,
Will fold their snowy plumes awhile,
To listen to the tale.
They can see the inner heart,
And know they will approve
The holy truth, the constaney,
And fervor of our love.
For the tie that binds our hearts
Is the earnest God has given,
To jewellers in this dreary world,
OF happiness in heaven.
o, the tardy, toiling hours,
or the lonely, lingering dayl
would l had some witchery
To hasten them away.
will wait for thee, my love,
In the vision-land tonight:
The stars will be our warders;
Meet me, dearest, by their light.
