distinguished Mr.. Cyrus Field, we have
some illustrations. Whatever hour of
day or night that his presence was useful
to his purpose, then he was on hand.
For weeks and months, when building up
his fortunes in New York, he did not see
his children awake, except on the Sab
bath; leaving home before they had risen,
and returning only after they had been
long in their beds. We remember to
have heard him tell the story of being
threatened with severe sickness, a fever,
at London, the day before steamer was
to sail from Liverpool on which he had
engaged passage, and on which he felt
that he must go. The leading physician
of the great city was summoned; he shook
his head, ordered serious treatment and
told him to prepare for long confne-
ment; but our hero dcmurred, said he
mast and should go by train to Liverpool
that night, and that if the man of pills
was disposed TO do anything for him I'M
der those circumstances, to prescribe; if
not, to leave him alone. The doctor went
Mr.. Field went-the steamer went.
and SO did the disease, simply through
the power of an indomitable will.

N1eHr.-Night levels all artificial dis
tinction. The beggar on his pallet of
straw snores as soundly as the king on
his bed of down. Night-the paradise
of the slave, thes oblivion of the care
worn soul, nurse Of poetry, of devotion
how the great painting heart of society
yearns for the return of night and rest =
There is something strangely beautiful in
the contemplation of night-when the
smiling stars seem to do homage to their
pale-faced queen, the clouds float silently
through the tranquil sky, and the wind
speaks in soft whispers as if fearful OF wa
king the sleepers. Such is the sweet re-
pose of a blameless conscience. But
when the hues Of evening slant diInly a.
way, when the cherries curtains of dark
nessare drawn, when aerial shadows loom
up and fit along the vaulted arch, 'slike
grim ghosts trailing blackness through
the heayens"--such is the fearful shad-
ow that hangs over the broken slumbers
of a soul in which there is no rest. : ~

Evils OF GRFAT CITIEs.-I cities the
son Of man grows proud. He needs, Al
times, to be sent forth like the Assyrian
monarch, into green fields, "a wondrous
wretch and NEEDLESS" to cat green herbs,
and be weakened and chastised by the
rain shower and winters bitter weather
Moreover, in cities there is danger Of tho
souls becoming we'd to pleasure, and for.
getful of its high vocation. There HAYS
been souls dedicated to heaven from child
hood, and guarded by good angels as
sweet seclusions for holy thoughts, and
prayers, and all good purposes wherein
pious wishes dwelt like nuns, and every
image was q saint; and yet in llfe's vicisi-
tudcs, by the treachery of occas:on-by
the thronging passions of great cities
have become soiled and sinful. They
resemble those converts On the river
Rhine which have been changed to tay-
erns, from. whose chambers the pious
inmates have long departed, and in whose
cloisters the footsteps of travellers have
effaced the images of buried saints, and
whose walls are written over with ribal
dry and the names Of strangers, and re-
sound no more with holy hymns, but
with revelry and loud voices. Longfel-

LuDICRoUs SENsIBILITY. - Flowers
have their spells and their perils; a young
French lady endowed with the most deli
cate nerves mentioned Que evening to a
few friends assembled in her drawing
room, that she had horror CT the rose.
"The perfume Of this flower" said she,
"eives me the VERTIGO" The conversation
was interrupted by the visit of fair
friend who was going to a ball, and wore
rosebud in her head dross, Our fair
heroine turned pale directly, tossed her
arms, and fell gracefully into a syncope
upon the ottoman. What strange ner-
vous susceptibility. What delicate and
impossible organizationw cried the spec
tators. sFor Heavens sake, madam, go
away! Don'tyou see that you have eau
sed this spasm a. "I?" eyes, of course
it is the perfume Of that rosebud in
your hair" "Really, if it is SO, will
sacrifice the guilty flower But judge
before you sentence" The flower, being
detached from the head-dress, was passed
from hand to hand among the spectators,
but their solicitude gave way to differ
emit emotion. The fatal rosebud was an

Found new alcove, ' 10
And life with joys instilled. -.
Then from the Past-Eife's morning dreams,
To that bright world which brighter seems,

May find thy task on earth is done,
And won thy prayer
To meet her where
Gods praise is ever hymmed ~

MINUTE PHILosopHERs.-It has not
added to my personal comfort to know to
a decimal fraction what proportion of red
earth I may expect to find in my cocoa
every morning; to have become know
ingly conscious that my coffee is mixed
with ground liver and litmas, instead Of
honest chickory; and that bisulphuret Of
mercury forms the basis of my cayenne.
1t was once my fate to have a friend stay
ing in my house who was one of the mi
mute philosophers. He used to amuse
himself after breakfast by a careful analy-
sis and diagnosis Of the teapot, laid out
as a kind of hortus siccus on his plate.
"This leaf, now" he would say, ais fus-
CHA; observe the serrated edges; that's
no tea leaf-positlvely poisonous. This,
now, again, is black thorn, or privet-yes,
privet; you may know it by the divisions
in the panicles; that's no tea-leaf." A
most uncomfortable guest he was; and
though not bad companion in many
respects, felt my appetite improve the
first time I sat down to dinner without
him. -Blackyood's Magazine.

THE CABLE.

Prof. Morse's estimate of the power of
the Atlantic Telegraph was, that sit
would be easy to telegraph from Ireland
to Newfoundland, at the speed of at least
eight or ten words per minute Take it
at ten words to the minute, and allowing
ten words for name and address, we can
safely calculate upon the transmission of
a twenty word message in three minutes,
or fourteen thousand four hundred words
per. day. Nobody doubts that the line
will have as much business as it can pos
sibly can do. Now, throw off four thou
sand fonr hundred words for delays IN re-
ceiving the business from the land lines,
&C., and we have lO,O 900 words per day.
AT 81 per word, as at first proposed, the
receipts would be $4,000 per day, or
s3,65o,ooo per year, all upon capital
actually invested by this company of less
than $1,000, 900, to say nothing of the
$4,000 annually pledged by the gov
ernments of England and the United
States. The expense Of operating the
line must be comparatively small, for
there can be but two stations to keep up.
Even 25 cents per word would yield an
enormous dividend. 1t is thus seen that
if the capacity Of the line should prove
anything like as great as expected, the
company's shares must rise toan immense
value, though the construction Of compe-
ting lines be Immediately attempted
Mr.. Field may expect to find himself on
his legs again, for be is said to be one
third Of the company in capital as he is
four-ffths of it in brains. .-liaa rsaH

YE BUSINESS MEK.-In rocccmmen-
ding people to advertise, weekly, month
ly, yearly, perpetualy, che Grand Rapids
Enquirer gives the following reasons.
1st. 1t gives the appearance Of a DO
sire to do business upon fair and liberal
terms. ~ sias - fssa 1855.
Cd. 1t ID compliment TO the eoinmu-
nifty, in the nature of AIN invitation, to call
and see you, which they will generally ac-
cept, either out Of curiosity or Of gratituds
for the trouble of telling them where they
can find articles they may be in search
of. In either case you may make trade
if yo are reasonable, and if not you viii
find out the state of the market, and gov
ern yourself accordingly.
Sd. To advertise literally, to have your
name continually before the public il con-
nection withyour business, shows that you
ale neither ashamed Of your hame or
your DuSllcSS. e-Etf f
pa 4th. 1t looks like enterprise, and most
people prefer to deal with enterprising
men, rather than crusty old fogies who
stand behind their counters or their work
shops, sulkily defyina the world to deal
with them, if they choose, or dare, or to
leave it alone. s. asa aaf
5th. 1t supports newspapers, which in
return, afford immense beneft to human
ity. a s5a# 1856
IF these reasons are not sufficient, We
ask our readers to look at tho fact, that
hardly any man hourishes without adver-
Using, and those who advertise the most
are the most fourishiug.

From the Springfield (lNass.) Republican.
CYRUS w. FIELD AND HIS
FAMILY.

Cyrus w. FIELD, having achieved
greatness and renSwn through the success
that has crowned his energy and perseve-
rance in the Atlantic Telegraph Gable,
the public is interested to know what
manner of man he is, and to learn the
chief incidents of bis history. His family
is one of the most honorable in western
Massachusetts,, with members distinguish
cd in nearly every department of active
life. Rev. d. D. Field, native of East
Guilford, CT, graduate of Yale College
in 1902, first settled in Haddam, CT
There, probably, his children were all
born, seven sons and two daughters. Of
the former are, David Dudley Field, ore
of the first lawyers of New York city ;
Jonathan E. Field, member of the Berk
shire bar, and resident of Stockbridge;
CYRUS w. Field, whose name is now n
household word; Matthew D. Field of
Southwick, in this county,, civil engineer,
and one of the Republican senators from
Hampden county in 1857; Stephen /.
Field, judge of the supreme court of
California; and Rev. I'll. NJ. Field, for
merly pastor of the Congregational church
in West Springfield, and now one of the
conductors of the New York Evangelist
The seventh and oldest son, Timothy,
went to sea thirty or moro years ago, and
has never been heard from since. One
of the daughters married the brother of
Mr.. Cyrus Fields wife, and died at Paris
within few years. The other daughter
married Rev. Josiah Brewer and became
with him missionary in Greece, whence
they have returned and now reside at the
family home in Stockbridge, in this State.
In 1919, Rev. DIR. Field removed from
Haddam to Stockbridge, when his child
rem were all young, and became pastor of
the village church there, a relation which
he continued till 1881, when it was dis
severed, and he returned to his old charge
at Haddam for few years; but he reti-
red from the ministry some ten years
since, and calae to Stoekbridge again,
where among his old friends, and with a
portion of his children, he is living out in
peace and honor the few remaining days
of long and useful life. Thus Stock
bridge may fairly claim to be the family
home; here the father passed his most
active and important years: and here his
sons. were reared, and prepared for the
important lines of action into which they
have nearly all since fallen. David Dud-
lev Field and Rev. Henry NJ. are gradu-
ates of Williams college in the same
county. a@6s &ss &N
Mr.. Cyrus Field engaged early as clerk
for his elder brother Matthew, who was a
naper manufacturer at Lee. About the
period Of his majority, perhaps before, he
engaged in the same business on his own
