lentia to Newfoundland, everything Incl
did. for as small sum as 2f82.0OO. or
R200, 900 less than the capital expended
by the Atlantic Company. Mr.. Rowett's
plan is simply that of a rope covered with
electric wire instead Of the old mode of pro-
oheding by wire covered rope. His idea
is to have the conductor well and safely in
sulated with gutta percho, and then simply
enclosed without further preparation id the
strands of common hemp cable about an
inch in diameter. Al piece has already been
made-not with a view Of displaying what
would be necessary for the atlantic depths,
but to illustrate the peculiar advantages
which such mode of construction gives
over the wire cable. This specimen GER
tainly is as light, as flexible and as strong
as could be desired, and these three quail
ties Gust be the very sine qua n0A with al

vagaries of the Night.
BY GEO. W. CRowEIL.

When the hours of night, come stealing
With mufiled rootstep slow;
Like the bells Of mem'ry pealing,
In the distance soft and low.
With the shades of evening falling,
With their dim and misty light;
Ghostly forms the soul appalling,
Break upon the startled light.
Then the mind will sometimes wander,
Through the present, aud the past;
Lille, its mystries to ponder,
Funcies crowding thick, and fast.
Cro~ding through the silent spaces,
or the years which long have fed;
O'er sea of upturned faces,
OF the living, and The dead.
And l feel their spirit breathing,
Like the ebbing to and froi
Like the deep and endless heavings,
OF the Ocean, in its flow.
Tvs their onward swift invasion,
Through the lofty realms of mind;
Tis the fancies wild creation,
Out of space, and out of time.
Here ! meet with silent greeting,
Forms that once have walked in pain;
While my heart in rapture beating,
Thrills my soul with joy again.
One among that passing number
Dearer far than all the rest;
Wakes my soul from out its slumber,
WOoes me to the land of rest.
In her mild and angel beauty,
Slow she faded from my sight;
Moving up the path of duty,
Left this world of gloom and night.
Oh how lonely, sad and lonely
Seems this darkened vale of tears;
As l live, but living only, -..
In the light of buried years.
In its pale uneathly cleaning,
Comes a form to me divine,
With smile seraphic beaming,
Lights this dreary path Of mine.
Thus when weary and faint-hearted,
In The ttill and solemn night;
Comes the forms of the departed,
Fills my soul with calm delight.
Fills it with softeued glory,
Like some old familiar strain;
Like some long remembered story,
That brings back my youth again.
Thus beats life's dim sounding measure,
To the tread of passing years,
Through the realms of pain and pleasure,
Through TIE land Of hope and fears.
But beyond no more enshrouded,
lies the empire of the mind,
Where with faculties uneloaded,
We, the lost and loved, shall end.
Those in calm and sweet communion,
With the spirits Of the blest,
In the long looked for reunion,
Shall the soul be soothed to rest.
