From the New York Express. THE ATLANTIC CABLE
BY E. J. o'REILLY.

Six thousand years have passed OCT earth,
 While Science, like striplng, bore The trophies of its timid birth,
 In various forms, from shore to shore; But now, her latest, mightiest child,
 Which Franklin viewed, and Morse caressed With glory ripe and undefled,
 Is laid within the oceans breast, The mighty lightning herald sleeps,
 Till human touch awakes its fires, To send, beyond ten mornings reach,
 New tidlngs. ere pulse expires 'Ils laid Old ocean feels thrill
 Throughout her tlme-sealed bosom now, And yields to mans victorious will
 The crown long placed on Neptune'S brow. Calm as the deep in summers reign,
 And wild, as in its wintry wrath, Shall be, with varied joy or pain,
 Each message through its ocean path s Within its grave, beneath the storm,
 It lives, breathing thing of life, As they shall live who gave it form,
 In fame, when called from mortal strife! Soon like 0rion's belt of fire
 Its broad electric arm shall hold With all a monarch's strong desire
 The world and all its varied fold And from its tongue, through every sphere, Till Time and Earth together cease, Mankind the glorious tale shall hear
 Of commerce, brotherhood and peace!

The Mormon Women.

The Salt Lake correspondent of the New York 75naes, writing on the 10th of July, says:
 The scenes among the returned re- fugees upon the road confirm all you have already heard of the extreme poverty of many of the people. Any number of females, old and young, are seen passing along bare foot, with scarcely enough of clothing upon them to cover their persons, and the few rags they have of the coarsest mate rial. Many are entirely without even a calico gown, wearing coarse pet ticoat, sometimes made of a scant pattern of old carpet, or worn-out coverlet, and calico or muslin waist, which their best efforts cannot coaxup to the requirements of modesty. An army officer who was in town the other day, on his return to camp, passed over a road on the west side of the Jordan, which is less frequented than the direct road from Provo on this side; suddenly he came upon a com pany of a dozen or more females, walking along the road on their re- turn from Provo, in company with two or three male "protectors, who were mounted, something after the fashion of herders driving cattle. These fe- males were so destitute of clothing that several of them had blankets wrapped around them after the fashion of h. dian squaws. They had, probably, taken the bye-road to avoid observa- rion, and, upon meeting stranger, fled afrighted from the road, evident Y conscious that they were notin suit able condition for a strangers gaze. This is the officers story, and in view of what I have myself seen here, 1 have no difficulty in realizing its truth.
 Brigham Young has brought up all his families, and his mansion, freed from the board window coverings, be- 2 gins to look less like the house of pes- tilence. His gates, however. are care fully closed, and not a female is seen to leave the premises. Passing, to- wards dusk last evening. l saw two females in his household leaning pen sively upon the lions figure surmount- ing the front porch of the Lion House; but an opportunity to speak with any of them is out of the question. The apostacy' of one of Brigham's wives would be most dangerous to the repu- tation of the man, and the greatest care is observed to prevent so startling a catastrophe. Judging by appear ance, Brigham must himself be aware that some of his spirituals are chahng under the bonds which bind them, and aching for the opportunity to go free. I am informed privately, has an armed guard quartered within his walls both day and night, but to protect his harem, or to save the Prophet himself from person. al danger, we are unadvised-

his superior in strength, and courage. You have sworn to fulfill my direction, Keep your oath, or feel that fath- er's curse hangs over you, And oh! what on earth IS more fearful than 9 fathers curse? It is my wish that at once you seek a quarrel with him. provoke him to an attack, and leave not male of the Borlands alive, for with him, the last will perish Re- member, revenge is sweet,
 "YoUR FATHER.'
 "My God why did I take that oath? Elias IS not my foe, and Flora is my love, Were I to kill him, she is lost to ne forerer-lost to the world-for the blow which would Kill him would break her heart." groaned William. All that night, in wretchedness, young Harland walked up and down his chamber in agonyof mind, study ing what to do. He would fain have fled the place; but his oath was in his eyes, most sacred, and he dare not break it.
 Hesought comforter, Isaid. Oh, if the fend is a counselor-if all the ills that e'er were clustered into one, could find name, that name would be a comforter, He sought RUM.
 Maddened with its fumes, he left his home at early hour, armed to the teeth, and determined to fulful his pledge; and if he did not fall himself in the conflict, to end the tragedy by elf-destruction.
 Too soon, alas, at the village tav- ern, he met young Borland, and, in the frenzy of inebriation, insulted him so grossly that an instant combat was the result. And 1t was a fearful one. Revolvers and knives were the weapons, and both were used with terrible effect. Almost at the same moment-clenched and grabpled in the dreadful struggle-they expired.
 And lady, young and lovely, who was passing, heard of the afray, and rushing to the spot, fell senseIoss on .the bodies of her love, and her her brother.
 She is now maniac. They sleep as their fathers sleep-in bloody graves. 'Tis a sad tale, but true one, this of Kentucky feud.

There is some very sound doctrine for the preservation of health, contain ed in the following seventeen rules which we clip from that excellent pa per, Life Illustrated. We may ridi- cule as we choose the disciples of the water cure, but there IS little doubt, if the system we general in practice we should rejoice in more, health, wealth intellect and happiness, than we do under our present habits of life, and medical practices. THINGS WHICH WATER CURE PEOPLE
 SOMETIMES FORGET.
 1. Sleeping rooms should be well ventilated.
 2. No person should sleep or feathers.
 3. Clothing worn in the day, should not be worn at night.
 4. When taken off 1t should be thor oughly aired.
 5. Otherwise efete matters remain in 1t.
 6. Sleep is the best restorer of the nervous system.
 '. One hour of sleep before mid night is worth two after 1t.
 g.. Never eat anything between meals.
 9. Two meals day is better than three.
 10. The drink which nature pro- vides is cold water.
 II. The use of salt may fairly be questioned.
 12. It has no nutriment in 1t, and greatly provokes costiveness.
 13. Persons of constipated bowels will find it's disuse advantageous.
 IA. Daily exercise in the open air is an absolute prerequisite to health. 15. Without health of body, vigor of mind is not to be expected.
 IS. With feeble body and mind, large spirituality cannot be enjoyed. IT. And without this, one cannot be growing Christian.

RE VAcCNATIoN.-Some very interesting experiments have been recently instituted and given, on paper presented to the Acad- emy of Medicine at Paris. These experi- ments were made with a view to ascertain the advantages arising from repitition of vaccination at various periods of life. The results arrived at are, that between the ages of twenty and forty re-vaccination only takes effect upon four out of one hundred patients, while the proportion of those on whom it takes effect between the ages of forty and sixty is twenty-three per cent; and between the ages of sixty and seventy fifty -four per cent. The consequences de duced from these facts are:
 i. That until the age of 25 re-vaccination is useless.
 2. That from that age to 35 1t produces useful effects upon very small number of persons, and that consequently it need not be very strenuously recommended at that period of life.
 3. That from the age of 35 and upwards, it becomes really prophylactic, and there fore necessary.
 4. That when vaccination has not taken effect at certain period, this is no reason for concluding that it will not take effect at some future period.
