that i'll a long war the Allies have much the

Russia pays SIS for every hundred weight of
gunpowder transported from Moscow to kcre-
kop, distance OF 900 miles, and for other
munitions in proportion. 1t is argued that such
drain upon the Russian treasury as is now
going on will force her to yield at last. Per-
haps so; but in war of this kind both parties

Interesting Narrative.

Professor Morse, the author of the mag
netic telegraph, delivered speech at st.
Johns recently, in which he gave an inter-
esting Renaissance of his early telegraphic
troubles. The bill for establishing line he
said, was before Congress, had passed the
House and was on the calendar of the SEN
ate, but the evening Of the last day had COM
menced, with more than one hundred bills
to be considered and passed upol before
mine could be reached. Wearied with the
anxiety of suspense, consulted with one of
my Senatorial friends; he thought the
chance Of reaching il SO small, that he ad-
vised me to consider it lost. In q state that
| must leave you to imagine, returned to
my lodgings to make my preparations for re-
turning home the next day. My funds were
reduced to the fraction Of dollar In the
Morning, as was about to sit down to break.
fast, the servant announced that young la.
dy desired to see me in the parlor. 1t was
the daughter of.my excellent friend and col
hlege cassmate, the commissioner of patents.
She called, she said, by her fathers permis-
sion, and exuberance Of her own joy, to an :
nounce to me the. passage Of the telegraph
bill at midnight, but the moment before the
Senate adjourned. fr'es5- e.
This was the turning point Of the telegraph
invention in America. AS an appropriate
acknowledgment for her sympathy and
kindness, which only woman can feel and
express, | promised that the frat despach by
the first line Of telegraph from Washington
TO Baltimore should be indicated by her
To which she replied, Il will hold you to your
word.' In about year from that time the
line was completed and everything being
prepared, apprised my young friend of the
fact, A note from her enclosed this dis
patch: 'What hath God wrought These
were the first words that passed upon the
electric wires, on the first completed line in
America. None could have been chosen
more in accordance with my own feelings.

name Of its author. It placed the crown Of
success and honor where it belonged.

Higher.

Higher! is a word of noble meaning, the
inspiration of all great deeds-the sympa-
thetic chain that leads, link by link the inn
passioned soul to the zenith of glory. and still
holds its mysterious object standing and gilt
tering among the stars.
Higher! lisps the infant that clasps its pa
rents knees, and makes its feeble essays to
rise from the foor-it is the first inspiration
of childhood--to burst the narrow confines
of the cradle, in which its sweet moments
have been passed forever. ,s r,' =4
Higher! laughs the proud schoolboy at his
swing; or as he climbs the tallest tree of the
forest trand that he may look down on his less
adventurous companions with flush Of ex-
uItation, and abroad over the field Of HE ma
tive village. He never saw SO extended a
prospect before. 1.,' d. ,'A
Higher! earnestly breathes the student of
philosophy and nature; he has a host of RI
walls but he must eclipse them all. The mid
night oil in his lamp burns dim, but he finds
light and knowledge in the lamps Of heaven,
and his soul is never weary when the last Of
them is hid behind the curtains of morning.
And higher! his voice tbunders forth, when
the dignity Of manhood has invested his
form and the multitude is listening with de-
light to his oracles burning with eloquence
and ringing like true steel in the cause Of

freedom and right. And when the time has
changed his locks to silver, and when the
worldwide renown is his, the maiden gather
ing flowers by the roadside, and boy in the
field, bow in reveranc9 as he passes; and the
peasant looks to him with honor-can he
breathe forth from his heart the fond wish OF
theapast! mat. E
Higher yet! he has reached the apex of
earthly honor, yet his spirit burns as warm
as in youth, though with steadier and q
paler light and it would borrow wings and
soar up to high heaven, leaving its tenement
