speeuntive Phllosophy.

IL all mankind could wink at the
same moment the muscular effort exert
ed would be sufficient to iostlo The earth
out Of its orbit
If al the oaths uttered in the United
States we're required to be printed it
would employ an the presses Ia che

labor; and if a tax was levied on them
Of one cent each, one years revenue
would be sufficient to transport al the
nails lay a double track railroad TO The
Pacific, and pay the public debt Of every
State in the Union.
The cigars consumed throughout the
country in one year, would make q
worm fence six feet high around the
District Of Columbia; and the air ezpoll-
ed in smoking them would drive the Ja-
pan squadron round the world, with
enough over to do the work Of oil the
patent medicines.
IF all the elected tobacco quids we're

to the pelung storm, and the edifoo
would be buried deeper than Nineveh,
before the next meeting Of Congress.

A JOKE.-A correspondent sends the
Buffalo Express the following good
thing for the hot weather: - K. the
Quaker President of q Pennsylvania
Railroad, during the confusion and pan
ic last, fall, called on the W-bank with
which the road had kept a large, regular
account, and asked for an extension of
a part of its paper falling due in a few
days. The Bank President declined
rather abruptly, saying in a tone com
mon with the fraternity:
"Mr. K, your paper must be paid at
maturity. We cannot reasto Il.
every well, " our Quaker replied, and
left the Bank. But he did not let the
matter drop here. On leaving the bank,
he walked quietly over to the depot and
telegraphed all the agents and conduct
ors on the road to reject the bills on the
W bank. In few hours the trains
began to arrive, full of the panic, and
bringing the news Of distrust Of the
W bank all along the line of the
road. Stockholders and depOsitors flock
ed into the bank, making the panic, in
quiring whats the matter2" as the
bank broker" A little inquiry by the
officers showed that the trouble origin
ated in the rejection Of the bills by the
railroad. The President seized his hat
and rushed down to the Quakors Office,
and came bustling in with the inquiry,
"Mr. K, have you directed the refus-
al Of our currency by your ageuts?"
eyes" was the quiet reply.
"Why is this? 1t will ruin us"
'Well, friend L., I supposed thy
bank was about TO fail, as thee could not
renew a little paper for us this morn
ing"
1t is needless to say, Mr., L. re-
newed all tho Quakor's paper and en-
larged his line fdiscount, and the magic
wires carried all along the road, to eve
ry agent the sedative message, "The
w bank is all right. Thee may
take its currency"

Female Delieaev.

Above all other features which adorn
the female character, delicacy stands
foremost within the province Of good
taste. Not that delicacy which is per
petually in quest Of something to be
ashamed Of which makes merit Of a
blush, and Shippers at the false oonstruc-
ton its own ingenuity has put upon an
innocent remark-this spurious kind Of
delicaey is far removed from good sense;
but the high-minded dolicacy, which
maintains its pure and undertaking
walk among women and in the society
Of men--and which shrinks from no
necessary duty, and can speak, when re-
quired, with seriousness and kindness
Of things at which it would be ashamed
to smile or blush,-that delicacy which
knows how to confer a benefit without
wounding the feelings Of another
which can give aims without assump-
tion--and which pains not the most
susceptible being in creation.

Cyrus W. Field-His Labors in BE
half Of the Atlantic Cable.


The New York Tribune says that if a
fortnight since, a stranger had asked
any one who knew and respected Cyrus
w. Field, an opinion Of him tho, answer
would have run somewhat after this
fashion:
"a right good fellow, certainly but
too sanguine-in fact, rather visionary.
After he had made a pretty fortune by
close attention to business, he must
jump into this Atlantic Telegraph en-
terprise, and it has used him up. 1t
has swamped him pecuniarily, and dam
aged his reputation for business tact and
sagacity; so 1 fear it will 60 hard with
him and his large family henceforth."
Now he is fairly booked among the
few immortals. The wide world rings
with the chanting of his praise. The
Tribune thus gives him the glory Of the
great enterprise:
1t is now some four or five years since
Mr.. Field undertook the magnificent en-
terprise which has rendered his name
illustrious. 1t had been previously some
four or five years in the hands of a COM
pany which made very little headway-
had in fact accomplished little, and were
making no progress. That company
might by this time have achieved a con
nection with Newfoundland, but we
doubtit Mr.. Field at once addressed
himself to some of our most liberal cap
italists, and induced four of them to
unite with him in the undertaking. The
moment the papers we're signed, each Of
the FIVE drew his check for $4,000, max
ing up a purse of $4,000 to form the
nest egg of the enterprise. From that
hour to the present, Mr.. Field has given
all his energies and means to the Allan
tic Telegraph. He first visited New
foundland and obtained from its govern
ment the necessary concessions and priv
ileges; the next step was to form q tele-
graphic connection with that island
across the boisterous Gulf of st. Law
renee; then to secure the cooperation
Of English capitalists finally, the sup
port of the two Governments; and now he
was ready to commence the great work
of preparing three thousand miles Of ca
bic to be laid or lost between NeWfound-
land and Ireland. Step by step, Mr.
Field has proceeded in his great enter
prise, ably seconded, of course, on both
sides Of the ocean, but he has been the
undaunted, indeiatigable, animating
master-spirit of the work on both con-
tinents, on the ocean, and from first to
last And the civilized world will this
time take care that no plausible Amori-
Gus shall despoil the Columbus of ocean
telegraphing Of his nobly and hard
ly won honOrs.

Immortality.

The following noble passage occurs
in the Dies Borealis, or "Christopher
Under Canvass"
North--Oh, my friends, If this wing
ed and swift life be al our life, what
mournful taste have we had of a posi-
bic happiness We have, as it we're,
from some cold and dark edge of
bright world, just looked in and been
plucked away againl Have we come to
experience pleasure by fits and Gimp
ses, but intertwined with pain, burthon
some labor, with weariness and with in
dif'erence2 Have we come to try tho
solace and JOY Of a warm, fearless and
cOnfding affection, to be then chilled
or obliged by bitterness, by separation,
by change of heart, or by the dread
sUnderer of loyes-Deathl Have we
found the gladness and the strength of
knowledge, when some rays of truth
dashed in upon our souls; in the midst
of error and uncertainty, or amidst
continuous, necessitated, uninstruotive
avocations Of the and
is that all? Have VIC feltin a fortunate
hour the charm of the Beautiful, that
invests, as with a mantle, the visible
creation, OF have we found ourselves
lifted above the earth by sudden appre-
tensions of sublimity2 Have we had
the consciousness of such feelings, which
seemed to us as if they might them
selves make up a life and we're they
''instant come and instant gone"2 Have
we known the consolation of doing right,
in the midst Of much that we have done
wrong, and was that also corruscation
of transient sunshine2 Have we light
ed up our thoughts to see Him who is
Love, Light, and Truth and Bliss, to be
in the next instant plunged into the
darkness Of annihilation2 Have all
these things been but flowers that we.
have culled by the side of hard and
tedious way, and that, after gladdening
us for a brief season with hue and color,
wither in our hands, and are like our
selyes--nothingl

It having been stated to US that in
reference to the differences which have
resulted in the separation of Mr., and
Mrs Charles Dickens, certain statements
have been circulated deeply affecting
the moral character of Mr.. Dickens and
compromising the reputation and good
name Of others, we solemnly declare
that we now disbeieve such statements.
We know That they are not believed by
Mrs. Dickens, and we pledge ourselves
on all occasions to contradict them, as
entirely destitute Of foundation.

Hogarth and her youngest daughter.

PUNCTUATIoN-An ingenious expe-
dent was once devised 10 save q prison
er charged with robbery, in the Grimm
al Court ot Dublin. The principal thing
that appeared in evidence against him,
was confession, alleged 10 have been
made by him at the police Office, and Ia
ken down in writing by a police officer,
and the following passage was read from
it,
"Magnam said he never robbed but
twice
Said it was Crawford"
This, it will be observed, has no mark
of the writer's having any notion Of
punctuation, but the meaning he attach
ed to it was, that
"Mognam said he never robbed but
twice:
Said q t5as Crawford"
Mr. O'Gorman, the counsel for the pris-
ouer, begged to look at the paper. He
perused it, and rather astonished tire
peace officer by asserting, that so far
from proving the mans guilt, it clearly
established his innocence.
"This," said the learned gentleman,
"is the fair and obvious reading Of tho
sentence:
"Magnam said he never robbed,
But tgice said 10 lgas Crawford.
This Interpretation had its effect on the
jury and the man was acquitted

A Beecher-ism.

"There are many protesting Chris
tians who are secretly vexed on account
Of the charity they have TO bestow and
the self-denial they have to use. If,
instead of the smooth prayers which
they do pray, they should speak out the
things which they really feel, they
would say, when they go home at night,
80 Lord, / met a poor curmudgeon Of
yours to-day, a miserable, unwashed
brat, and l gave him sixpence, and 1
have been sorry for it ever sinoe;" or,
90 Lord, if I had not signed these ar
tioles Of faith, might have gone to the
theater this evening, Your religion de-
prives me of a great deal Of enjoyment,
but 1 mean TO stick to &C. There's no
other way Of getting into Heaven, I
suppose.
