two ships have the same duty TO perform, and
failure on either will be fatal to the other"
Another letter from an officer says
TO the credit Of the Niagara, ] must men
ton that when the cable was running out at
equal rates from both ships. the break in
every instance occurred from the Agamemnon.
1t seems to me that ship does not give the
matter the requisite care and attention--be-
sides she labors greatly. I predict failure
on her part, though am very sorry to think
so, Tor have taken deep interest in this en-
terprise, and have something at stake in its
success. But after carefully watching and
weighing everything have reluctantly come
to the conclusion that third trial toiH have 10
be made before the cable can be laid One
thing is oertain-that if the cable is checked
while it is running out rapidly the job is over,
for il will not bear the strain. l hare heard
some Of The Engineers and some Of the Elec-
tricians express The opinion that Il ,OH prove a
failure"
All this is very discouraging. We trust
these misgivings will prove to have been un-
founded. but they como from sources entitled
to good degree of respect, and we certainly
do not feel warranted in Withholding them
from the public. The Expedition started on
the 10th of June, and within week or ten
days we shall probably learn its fate.-N Y

To show ones self man, is to repent of
sin. Strange as this may sound. II is the first
step towards real manhood That man was
made for virtue and not vico--for holiness and
not sin--is evident from all the adaptations
of his moral constitution. But that he has
violoted the laws of his moral nature, and be.
come positively vicious is evident to ALL Now
the only natural or possible mode Of correct
ing his vitiatcd moral nature, is to repent
No other act has the least tendency towards
it. Repentance, therefore, is not only manly,
but it is the first truly manly act human be-
ing is capable Of Such is the universally Of
human wickedness, that all moral acts, previ-
ous to repentance, arc selfish and unworthy
Of man. ! am aware that repentance is
looked upon as a weakness but it is the
most heroic Of acts. 1t is self-subjection--a
triumph over ones worst focs-those of his
own household yea, those of his own heart
| am not speaking of the servile covering of
the sycophant but the honest and generous
return TO duty of the erring subject of the
Great God-the acknowledgement of the rights
of the Creator and Beneiactor of the universe.
II is establishing the supremacy of virtue in a
selirefned soul. To PROSTATE ones self be-
fore the Great Jehovah, and ingenuously con-
fess his transgressions, and abandon them for
ever, shows a perception Of right, and evinces
an integrity of purpose which is truly exalted
and manly. But for a moral being to persist
in wrong, against the dictates of his Judge
ment, and under the lash of guilty con-
science, argues anything but maniness. 1t
is the spirit Of slavery in the lore of it. Viewed
by the standard of universal right, man is in
ruins. His heart is a moral wreck, and his
ignorance Of the fact is one of the most melan-
choly effects Now ask if the only retro
grade process from vice to virtue, from misery
to bliss, and that process approved and
urged by every power of the soul, is not
manly process | say, then, to the persever-
ing transgressor of Gods law "Show hyseB
a man. and repent of your sin. To the self
enslaved druukard or opicure, | would say,
show thyself man and subject your body to
the spirit. And to the lover of the world,
would still say, show thysef man, and
trample your idols in the dust. Repentance,
meanness What else is honorable? Is JUS
tice mean; What faculty of your mind says
it. But repentance is only justice to God and
man. Every sin is blow at the Throne of
God and stab at the heart of man. Sin is
an inlraction Of the law that guards the throne,
and protects the interests Of the universe, and
its criminality and i'll desert is measured on
ly by the magnitude of those interests And
can it be deemed manly to persevere in trans
gressiona Every power and faculty of mans
triune nature answers, no! The whole mate
rial universe says, no A wretched, sim
cursed race cries out, no All the angelic
world above, and all the demoniac tribes be-
neath unite their testimony against the man
liness Of continued transgrossion.-Rev Geo.

A Very HARD CASE. The New York
Times tells the following;
"An enterprisng young man in Albany, a
few years ago, who had what he considered
to be a valuable medicine, which he wished
to sell for the benefit of mankind, prevailed
upon an old fellow Of his acquaintance to join
him in the business. and furnish him with the
necessary capital to 60 ahead with. He came
to New York, and at once entered upon a
most prohigate and ruinous course Of adver-
tising, which at last excited the alarm Of the
old gentleman in Albany, who came down 20
inspect the accounts of the concern, and to
his utter CONSERVATION he discovered that his
prodiga partner had spent his entire capital
the first year in advertising. But examining
a little further, he discovered that he was en-
titled TO draw out more than five times the
amount Of the capital he had furnished as his
share of the profits The astonishment Of the
poor old gentleman proved too much for him,
for he went home and died in it, If NOR
chants do not want to get rich too fast, they
should be careful not to advertise
70 A queer case occurrodi in the ConnecA y.
cut Legislature on Monday. a man from
Waterbury by the name Of Swain, had petit
toned for release from State Prison. His pc
tition was refused, and the clerks Of both
Houses SO endorsed it. BY some accident it
was taken to the Secretarys office among
some resolutions that had been passed, and
treated as such and the man was released
The Legislature has since legalized his re-
lease.
An IMPERTGNENT ENGtNEER.-On Fri
day last. the engineer of fast train was ar
rested by the authorities Of a tone horse
town in Dauphin County. Pa, for running
through the bourough at a greater rate Of
speed than is allowed by their ordinance
Having neglected, however, to give publicity
TO these ordinances, they could not impose
any fine, and their discontinue was aggra-
waited by the malicious excuse of the engineer,
that "he didn' know there was a town there r.
This, we think, was adding insult to injury

How does blowing hot foods cool them: II
causes The air which has been heated hy the
food to change more rapidly, aud give place
to fresh cool air.
Why do ladies fan themselves in hot
weather That fresh PARTICLES Of air may
come in contact with their face by the action
Of tho fan and as every fresh particle Of air
absorhs some heat from the skin, this con-
slant change makes them cool
Docs fan cool the air No it makes It
hotter, by imparting to IL the heat Of our
face, but 1t cools our face by transferring its
heat to the air.
Why is there always strong draught
through the key-holo Of tho door, Because
the air in the room is warmer than the air on
the outside, therefore the air rushes through
and causes a draught.
Why is there always n draught through the
window crovices Because the external air
being colder than the air Of the room rushcs
through the crevices to supply the void caused
by the escape Of the warm air
by which means is a room better ventilat-
ed-by opening the upper or lower sash BY
opening the upper sash, because the hot air,
which always ascends towards the ceiling, can
escape more easily.
BY which means is hot room moro quick
| ly cooled-by opening the upper or lower
sash by opening the lower. because the
cool air can enter more freely at the lower
part of the room than at the upper.
Why docs the wind dry damp linen; Be
cause dry wind, like dry sponge, imbibes
| PARTICLES of vapor from the surface Of the lin
en- as fast as they arc formed
Which is the hottest place in church or
chapcl' The gallery. Why; Because the
heated air asconds, and the cold air that
enters through the doors and windows keeps
to the floor till it becomes heated.
Why do plants often grow out Of walls
and towers Either because the wind blew
the seed there, or else some bird flying over
dropped seed there.

Why is rain water soft Because it is not
impregnatod with earth and minerals.
Why is it more easy to wash with soft wa
ter than hard Because soft water unites
freely with soap, and dissolves it instead OF
decomposing it, as hard water does
Why do wood ashes make hard water soft
lst. Because the carbonic acid of wood
ashes combines with the sulphate of lime in
the hard water and converts ii into chalk
2dly, wood ashes convert some of the soluble
and throw them down as a sediment, by which
the water remains more pure.
Why has rain water such an unpleasant

Why does water smell salt Because very

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH-PROB
ABILITY OF FAILURE.


The Telegraphic Squadron are now engaged
in laying the cable. In common with the
whole world, We earnestly hope the attempt
will be successful; but we are compelled to
confess that our adyicos are not encouraging
We fear this second experiment will prove a
failure.
The letter of our special correspondent, on
board the Niagara, which we publish this
morning. gives a condensed, but very clear.
precise and perfectly reliable report of the
result of the experimental expedition, TO
which references have already been made in
the English papers. 1t was stated, as also in
the report Of the engineer, that these oxperi-
ments were entirely satisfactory though the
London Times recorded the fact that the cable
parted once or twice. though this accident was
said to have occurred ouly to the old cable
and in rough sea. From our corrospon-
dents letter, however il will be seen that the
cable parted no less than fue times during Me
trip of three days-that this calamity occurred
to both the old and the new cable alike-and
that it was not fairly chargoablc either to the
weather, the sea- or to any special accident
whatever. We have private advices, also, Of
discouraging tenor though from persons Of
fcially connected with the enterprise. One
of these letters, written on board the Niaga-
ra, says
you will see, if you get an accurate report
of the experimental trip, that more favor
able opportunity could not occur for practice
and experiments in laying the cable The
weather was calm and the sea smooth. There
was no swell--tho ship was perfectly still,
yet, ] must confess, il was not so successful a
trial as had hoped and expected. Disguise
the fact as we may, there were mishaps, mis-
judgments, and miscalculations. The cable
parted at every trial, ,chether ne'o or condemned
cable. On the voyage, of course, the dangers
10 be apprehended are still groater-since the
