But, Mr.. Elitor, IL we extend this principle. the
most beneficial results will flow from it. For in
stance. the agent of the associated press in Bus'
ton may, perhaps receive n despatch from Paris,
which he will alter to suit tho difference of time,
so that it shall be- read as follows;-
PARIS, Oct. 2S.-As the Emperor is riding on
The boulevard Sebas,opol a, G O'Clock this evening,
he will be shot dead by an Italian rufian named
Blackguardi, who will make his escape.
Now, cir, to avert such u dire calamity I would
extend the telegraph entirely around the world
Then the philantlropic Mr.. Blanchard will at once
forward tae despatch by the western line TO Paris,
and 1t will reach that city October p. so that The
Emperor will be ~'fUrewarned, fUrearmed." III,

gems d'armes to arrest Blackguardi, who is a
unce decapitated. The Emperor then takes his
evening ride. and France is not yet an orphan.

worth while to give the doctrine" on the subject:
The wedding ring finger is the fourth finger on

Macrobius gives another reason, which may per

and as tho little finger stands exposed, and is,
moreover, too puny to enter the lists in such a

In the British Apollo. 1888. it is urged that the
fourth finger was chosen from its being not emily

one quality peculiar to itself, that it cannot be ex

whereas the rest may be stretched out to their full

A Picture OF MAHoMEr.-The following is a
pen portrait Of the famous founder of Mohame.
danism
Slightly above the middle size, his figure, though
square, was handsome and commanding, the
chest broad and open, the bones and framework
large, the joints well knit together. His neck
was long and finely moulded. The head unusual.
ly large, gave space for a large and noble brow.
The hair. thick, jet black, and slightly curling
fell down over his ears; the eyebrows were arch
ed and joined. The countenance thin but ruddy.
His large ewes, intensely black and piercing, re-
ceived additional lusrre from their long dark
eyelashes. Tho nose was high and slightly
aquiliue. but fine and ut the end atteDuated.
Tho teeth were far apart. A long black bushy
Leard. reaching to the breast, added manliness
and presence. His expression WAS pensive and
contemplative. The face beamed with intelli
gence, though something of the sensuous alsC
might be there discerned. The skin Of his BODY
was clear and soft the only hair that met the eye
was a fine thin line which ran down from the neck
towards the navel. His broad back leaned slight
" for ward as he walked; and his step was hasty
yet sharp and decided, like that of one rapid,
descending u d~eclivity. There was something
unsettled in his hlood-shot eve, which refused It
rest upon its object. When he turned TOWARD
you it was never partially but with the Who'll

HYMN OF THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

Bow, Science, bow thy head in awe,
With lightning chain in hand,
Be still, as through the oceans depths,
Thou bindest land to land;
For thou hast wrought a miracle,
Next to the Son of God,
Thou walkest down on seas dark floor,
High on its waves lie trod;
lie holds the lightning in the cloud,
And thou within the waves,
And wind and wave, which yield to him,
Thou hast had power to brave
Then trembling thou before tbyself
So near to God akin.
That to thy hand His power comes,
And seems to dwell therein
And hushed and trembling thank tho Lord,
For favor on thee shed,
That thou, through sea, with Lightning chain
Two Continents hast wed.

The following lines refer to the melanchol
'eath by drowning, OF n son OF the author, at Han
yer, N. H., last summer:
From the Independent, July %.
One year ago-a ringing voice,
A clear blue eye.
And clustering curls Of sunny hair,
Too fair to die!
Only a year-no voice, no smile,
No glance of eye,
No clustering curls Of golden hair,
Fair but to Die
One year ago-what loves, what schemes
Far into lifel
What joyous hopes, what high resolves,
What generous strife
The silent picture on the wall,
The burial stone
Of all that beauty, life and joy.
Remain alone
One year--one year--one little year,
And so much gone 1!
And yet the even f)w Of life
Moves camly on.
The grass grows green, tho flowers bloom fair
Above that head
No sOrrowing tint Of leaf or spray
Says he is dead.
No pause or hush Of merry birds
That sing above,
Tells US how coldIy sleeps below
The form we love.
Where hast thou been this year, BELOVED!
What hast thou seen
What visions fair, what glorious life,
Where thou hast been
The veil the veil 90 thin, SO strong,
'Twixt US and thee
The mystic veil when shall it fall,
That we may sect
Not dead, not sleeping, not even gone
But present still,
And waiting for the coming hour
Of Gods sweet will.
Lord of the living aud the dead
Our Savior dear
We lay in silence at thy feet
THIS sad, sad year!

a STREET SCENE.
BY LYDIA MARIA CHILD.

The other day. as | came down Broome street, |
saw a street musician playing near the door of a
genteel dwelling. The organ was NC )mmonly
sweet and mellow in its tones, the tunes were
slow any plaintive, and | fanc;ed that I saw 70 the
wuman's Italian face an expression that indicated
sufficient refinement to prefer the tender and the
melancholy to the livly trainer tunes in vogue
with the populace. She looked like one who had
suffered much, and the sorrowful music seemed
her own appropriate voice. A little girl chung to
her scanty garments, as if afraid Of all thing
but her mother. As ! looked at them, o young
lady of pleasing countenance opened the window,
and begun to sing like II bird, in keeping with thu
street organ. Two other girls came aud leaned on
her shoulder and still she sung on. Blessings or
her gentle heart! IL was evidently the spontane
Gus gush Of human love ard sympathy. The beau
ty of the incident attracted attention. A GROUP u
gentlemen gradually collected round the organist
and ever as the tune ended, they bowed ressectiul
