From the N. York Evening Post. THE SILENT CABLE.

The cable the cable!
 When will it be able To break this long silence of deaths sa What if it be found
 The poor thing is.drowned. And cannot recover it's bsesth? a
 Or perhaps it ksepsimum,
 And pretends to be dumb, Just like the old crow in thg fable :,f a It takes gentle fattsEy,
 And not 'saliH ssd tastay, To make people oommanicable.
 But, tthe figure to change.) It need not seem strange It this turn out poor speculation; ''
 For the cable frail,
 And quite likely to fail, Or go into, at least Hquidation Indeed, it had failed
 Before the ships sailed Twas completely ''aoound up,' as we learn,
 When it left the Green Isle, Though it ,soaad awhile, tsoon proved siaking concern.
 And now we begin,
  To see it is really ashore
 Alas for the cable!
 It will never be able To make both ends met any more. We'll, it is n't much matter,
 For if it eouM chatter, To believe it we ne'er had been able;
 For since Annanias
 There's nothing been nigh us That stretches and lies like that cable.
 Besides is it right
 Thus to work out of sight In fishing for strange information,
 By mysterious plunges,
 The way they get sponges? Iris species of desp- -diuin-dtiOn. ...
 Yet, we honor the gents, Who bore the expense They knew that their shares when they got 'em Represented, no doubt. What would soon be paid out, And speedily 90 to the bottom. ~ MT. Field is hero,
 And dunn spiro, speo" ....s Will serve very we'll for his motto.
 He has dropped long line;
 Won't the wire make sign? For if it don't answer-it ought to-
 But hush here it comes,
 And thus the word runs: Dear Jonathan-Will you excuse it?
 This delay is all wrong, .. .r But my pen is 50 long I'm but just finding out how to Hughes it. An old Dutch Farmer, inst arrived at the dignit, of Justice of the Peace, had his first marriage case He did it up in this way. He first said to the man "vell. you wants to be marrit, to you? Yell. yo lovesh dis yoman so good any woman you hay ever seen!
 ''Yes," said the IT an. Then to the woman 'Vell. do you love thi man so better as coot any man you have eve seen?' = She hesitated little, and he repeated q We'll we'll, do you like him so well as to pc hi wife r'
 Yes, yes" sail the woman. ''Vell. dat is all any reasonable man can expect So yau are marrit; pronounce you man and wife The man asked the justice what was to pay? .t'. Noting, noting at all you welcome to it i it will do you any goot."
