Comet VS. Wife.

Messier, French astronomer of the last
century, devoted his life; almost exclusively,
to the discovery of the comets. He sue
ceeded in discovering fourtesh. Louis XIV
gave him she appellation of e trsst des
comstes: La Harpe, in his Literary Corre-
spondence, relates the following aneedots
of him: The ne Plus uiird of his ambition
was to be made a member os toe Academy
of ST. Petersburgh. He was an excellent
man, but had the simplicity Of q child. At
a time when he was in expectation Of dis
covering q comet. his wife took i'll and died.
While attending upon her, being withdrawn
from his observatory, Montague de Limoges
anticipated him by discovering the comet.
Messier was in deepair. A friend visiting
him began to offer some consolation for the
recent affection he had suffered. Hsssisr,
thinking only of the comet, exclaimed-"l
had discovered twelve. Alas, that should
now be robbed Of the thirteenth by Mon
tague !' and his eyes filed with tsars.-
Then remembering that it was necessary To-
mourn for his wife, whose remains were still
in the house, he exclaimed-"Ah cctts pogurs
femme" aud again wept for his comet.

Speaking out in Dreams.

A correspondent of The Richmond Dis
patch tells the following in letter from one
of the Springs:
An amusing incident occurred in the cars
of the Virginia and Tennessee road, which
must be preserved in print. 1t is too good
to be lost. AS the train entered the iBig
Tunnel, near this place, in accordance with
the usual custom lamp was lit. A servant
girl, accompanying her mistress. had sunk
into profund slumber, bnt just as the lamp
was liz she awoke, and, half asleep, imagin-
ed herself in the internal regions. Frantic
with fright, she imp'ored her Maker to have
mercy on her, remarking, at the same time,
'sThe devil has got me at last" Her mis-
tress, sitting on the seat in front OF the
terrified negro, was deeply mortified, and
called upon her" Moliie, don't make such
a noise; it is /, be not afraid" The poor
African Immediately exclaimed; go, missus
da, you, Jest what | spected; always
thought if | eber got to de bad place,
would see you dar." These remarks were
uttered with such vehemence, That not u
word was lost, and the whole coach became
convulsed with laughter.

Condition of the Cable-A Dis
couraging Report from Mr.. Varley.

Mr.. Varley, "the Electrician of the Elec-
trio and International Telegraph Company .
80 he is styled by, the Company-has
observed BY him on the Sths s7th, sth, 9th
and 10th of September, and the result. we
regret to say, is by no means encouraging.
He fines "a fault of great magnitude at a
distance of between 245 and 800 statute
miles from Valentia." and possibly in water
of but 4l0 fathoms in depth. He finds the
cable unbreken, but the power used will
shortly eat away the exposed copper wire
inithe faulty glaces by electrolylic decom-
position. lie is satisfied also that there is
another .'fault" more distant than this, the
approximate locality Of which he could not
estimate without communication from New
foundland. From authentia. date shown
him at FaientIa, he is also Of opinion that
there was fault in the cable on board the
Agamemnon before it was submerged, offer
ing aresistance equal to 1000 or 1900 miles
of cable, situated at a distance of about 500
niles from one Of tine 1900 mile coil, and
supposed to be the fault which causedso much
alarm when the ships were 800 miles from
Ireland. He IS satisfied that the cable has
been seriously, if not fatally, impaired by the
use of two powerful currents from the large
induction coils, especislly from this side,
and that the present conducting strands is
too small to have answered purpose, even
had the Insulation been sound.
Mr.. Varley closes his diseourageing cat
alogue with what, though INTENDED to con-
vey some consolation to the directors, is
perhaps the most discourageing part of
his report. He s ays: at is not, however,
although impossible that some ineligible
signals may yet be received through the
cable, as stated in my previous communi-
cation" He does not say that such q re-
suit is even probable, much less that the
present cable can ever be turned to any
practical use, but implies contrary opin-
iop. The publication of such report by
the company is practical admission that
they csnnot escape its conclusions, and
that they have no better face to put upon
the matter.

voyage to America, Mr. Wesley heard
Gen. Oglethorpe, with whom he sailed

saying:
MIR. Wesley, you must excuse me,

"Then sir" said Mr.. Wesley. looking

The general, confounded at the reproof.
threw his keys to the servant, and bads
him do better in future.
Here, then, is the point: If we should
never forgive, We must never sin. The
very proneness to sin which we find in
ourselves should be powerful incentive to
the cultivation of a spirit of forgiveness.
