COPPER has at least IL times the conduct
~ ing power Of electricity over that of Iron,
and is consequently thus much better adapted To
carry safely of what the ordinary sized Iron Rod
cannot do.
The combined advantages Of Lyons Patent
and trustworthy conductor. We may show, in
conclusion, by simple calculation, that the cop
per, as Prof Olmstead justly remarks, d" is to be
preferred when the additional expense is not re-
garded;" for, as the copper possesses seven and
one half times the conducting power of Iron, and
becomes heated to but one fifth the extent il man
ifesty is about thrty-seven times better than an
iron rod of the same diameter; therefore this cop

face is equivalent in effect to an iron one Of sew,

The foiiowng rather Tough story, to
raise The wind these hard iimeals related.
A Quaker lady, residing in our city was
recently visited by little girl who SAID
her father was very sick and was no' eX-
pected to live, and that she and the rest ot
a large family that was dependent upon
him for support, were in state OF desu-
tuition. She begged that the lady would
give her sufficient money at least TO Pur-
chase the medicines which had been pre-.
scribed for Der father. and which might
possibly save his life. The klnd-hearied
Quakeress gave her So, and the little glEi
with tears of thankiulness murmured her
gratitude and departed. A few days alter
She returned with a counlensnce more
wan and sorrow-strcken than before, 10
tell her benefactCress that her father was
dead; all the money which she had receIv-
ed had been expended for coihn and
shruud, and she had nothing left TO de-
FRAY the further expenses of her fathers
funeral. The generous lady gave her $40,
and went among her friends and collected
IS more for her. and then went with her
to her wretched abode where she found
the family wringiDg their hands and utter
mo loud lamentations over the body OF
man which lay in The coffin placed on Two
chairs in the center of the room. The la
dy, who was unused 10 such scenes OF
woe, and was greatly affected by what
she saw, hurrieIIy drew forth her purse,
gave portion of lis contents TO the lIIile
girl with promise of future assistance,
and hastily left the room. When she
reached the foot of the crazy stairs, which
she had ascended 10 the squalid apartment
above, she discovered that she had forgot
ten the purse. She went up again imme-
diately and as noiseessy y as possible that
she might not disturb the sacred grief OF
the sorrow stricken family. What was
her slrprise and horror on entering The
room TO perceive The corpse sitting upright
in lis shroud, eagerly counting ihe gold
which she had left behind her, and an
nouncing the result in tones which sound
ed more like those of robust health than
the sepulchra accents of an inmate (al-
mosl) of the lumbs. She contemplated Tor
a moment this phrase OF humanity. and
then de parted as noiselessly as she had
entered.
