The Sabbath.


With silent awe hail the sacred morn,
Which slowlywakes while all the fields arc STILL
With soothing calm on,eyery breeze is borne;
grayer murmar gmgles from theFill
And echo answers softer from the HILL ~.
And softer sings the linnet from the thoin:,
The skylark yarbles in tone less shrill. z
Hail, light serene! hail, sacred Sabbath rnofnl
The rocks float silently by in alry drove;
The suna placid, yellow liistrc shows - $500
Tho gales that lately sighed alongt hcsg grove
Have hnshod their downy wings in sweet'repose;
/ The lowering rack of clouds forget 80 moye;
So smiled a'c day when the first morn arose;

There is beauty in the helplessncss of
woman. The clinging trust, whichSea, ehc

touching, Timidity issthesattlibute of her
sexJ'bu to herself it is not without its
dangers. its ineonyonienceS,. and its suffer-
| ings, Her first effort at comparative free
dom is bitter enough; for the" dolieatc
mind shrinks fromovcry u,iaceustomed con-
tact; and the warm and gushing heart
closes itself, like the blossoin of the sensi-
| tive, plant, at every. approach. Man at
once determines his position, ami asserts
his place; woman has hers ito seek; and,

pear to turn 4 calm brow and quiet lip to
| the crowd through which she makes her
way, that brow throbs, and that lip quiV-

she. can once more wing her way to that
tranquil. home where the dropping head
will be fondly raised, and the Auttcriug
heart laid to rest /! The dependence Of wo-
man in, the common affairs of life is, never
| thcless, rather the effect of custom than
necessity. We have many and brilliant
| proofs that, where need is, she can be suIf-
cicnt to. herself, and play her part in the
drama of existence with credit, if not with
comfort. The ycarnings of her solitary
| spirit, the outgushings of her shrinking
sensibility, the cravings of her -Qlennted
heart, are indulged only in the Quiet Roli-
ness of her solitude. The world secs not,
guesses not the conflict and in thetiSno.

cret of hor weakness is shiddenin the depths
of her own bosom; and she moves on amid
the heat aud hurry Of existencc with seal
set upon her nature, to be broken only by
fond and loving hands, or dissolved in the
tears Of recovered home affection ',
TELEaRAPHING.--Impr follows
Improvement in this wonderful field of sci
ence. Edward Hishton, Civil Engineer
OF England has recently obtained y patent
for, first, sending tclcgraghic messages both
ways through one and the same wire at,the
same instant, without in any way interfer.
ing with each othor5 secondly, for prevent.
ing the dcstruction,of a wire in the sea or
under grounds and thirdly, for mending a
tclcgraphic wireFin mid,ocean without rails
ing it out of the mud. New telegrapllio
instruments have also been constructed IN
tended forSthe use of railroads, fho alarms
and police stations, The instrument is
| fixed in q small box provided with dial
and pointer. The alphabet is marked on
the dial, and around the latter keys arranged
in circle. a merit claimed for this in
yentlen is that any person, without previous
! experience, can readily forward and receive
messages. On touchinga key, the pointer
moves to the corresponding letter on the
dial. The power employed is electricity,
and all clock-work machinery is dispensed
with. An ordinary ticket agent, conductor
or engineer, or any person who can read,
can operate the instrument as readily as an
accomplished tolcgrspherg .;s
