LONDON, Acc. 16.-"Her Majesty desires
to congratulate the President upon the suc-
cessful completion of this great International
work, in which the Queen has taken the
deepest interest. !.
"The Queen is convinced that the Presi-
dent will join with her in fervently hoping
that the electric cable which now connects
Great britain with the United States will
prove an additional link between the nations,
whose friendship is founded upon their conf
mercial interest and reciprocal esteem.
"The Queen has much pleasure in thus
renewing to him her wishes for the prosperi-
~ of the United States"
By mistake the President received only

been accomplished by the science, skill and
indomitable energy Of the two countries.

won by conqueror on the field of battle.
May the Atlantic Telegraph, under the
blessing of Heaven, prove to be bond of
perpetual peace and friendship between the
kindred nations. and an instrument destined,
under Divine Providence, to diause religion,
civilization, liberty and law throughout the
world!
"In this view will not all the nations Of
Cbristendorn spontaneous y unite in the de-
claration that it shall be forever neutral and
that its communications shall be held sacred
in passing to their places of destination,
even in The midst of hostili.ies?

Mrs. Fleming made upon him who observed

One great passion she had, an essence of her

itself the one aspect of love for her son, love
that fairly seethed with the in.mxed intensity
OF her all-proud nature. She made of him her
idol, and in him worshipped the incarnation of
that kingly state which was hers by right of
possession. She invested him in her imagina-

propriety which was the standard of her lfe
and, believing him such, gave him her devo

word, like the female eagle, who rends every

devotion, there was always this tacit proviso {:

cease to reign. This was the only concession
she required of him, but, being the only one,
she Was never to falter in insisting upon it,
never to recede from one iota of the strict text

There came a wooer 10 my heart to-day.
Sweet-voiced as any bird,
And sang such songs as thrill the greenwood leaves
by breezy fingers stirred.
There came no step along the Swallowed walk,
No football OH the stair
The roses al my window shook and breathed,
And he was there
Along my veins the fever crept and glowed,
With mad pulse of pain;
He laid his fingers softly on my brow,
Anc II grew cool again.
On my hot ey elids and my burning lips,
His kisses fell like dew,
Till DER my heart happy slumber stole,
Like that my childhood knew
