"IP MY FArHBR WILL HOLD rHR Rops. 1"
In the Highlands Of Scotland there is noun
tain gorge, 20 feet in width and 200 feet in
depth. It's perpendicular walls are bare of
vegetation, save in their crevices, in which
grow numerous wild flowers Of rare beauty
DESTROYS Of obtaining specimens Of these noun
tain beauties, some scientific tourist once Of
fsred Highland boy Q handsome gift if he
would consent to be lowered down the cliff by
q rope, and would gather basketful of them
The boy looked wistfully at the money, for his
parents were poor but when he gszed at the
yswnipg chasm. he shuddered, shrank back,
and declined. But filial love was strong within
him and after another glance at the gifts and
at the terrible fssure, bis heart grew strong,
his eyes flashed, and he said " I'll 90, if my
father will hold tho ropen' And then, with
unshrinking nerves, cheek unblanched, and
heart firmly strong, he suffered his father to
put the rope about him, lower him into ia q
wild abyss, and to suspend him there while he
filed his little basket with the coveted flowers
1t was daring deed but his faith in the
strength Of his father's arm, and the love ol
his fathers heart, gave him courage and power
to perform it. -

The LAST OF THs ATLANTIC CABLE.-Capt.
kell and Mr. Varley, who went out for the
purpose of endeavoring to raise the American
end Of the Atlantic cable, report that, &" al
though they have on many occs cssions been able
TO raise the slight, and so get on board at diff
fersnt times pieces of cable, in. all amounting
to about seven miles, they have invariably
found it broken again q few miles Off" At
tempts were made at various points, but all
were unsuccessful, the rope in almost every
instant giving way. 1t was, therefore, found
" necessary to abandon" it. Speaking Of the
state Of the rope between Tickle point and
Copper island, Capt. Kell and Mr.. Varley say,
" Although mud is shown on the charts, there
are unquestionably rocks also, weed and sea
animslcule adhering to and surrounding it in
many places, showing that it had been sus-
pended clear Of the bottom. The cable was in
variably hauled in by hand to avoid unneces-
sary strain. The recovered cable varied in
condition very much, and what is most import
ant is, that even those portions which came out
of the black mud were 50 perished in numer-
Gus patches that the outer covering parted on
board during the process Of hauling in and
but for the dexterity and courage Of the mon
in seiIing hold of it beyond the break, where
the iron wires stuck out like punches of highly
sharpened needle points, We should not have
known 90 much Of its condition. In a word
it was evidently sometimes imbedded in mud
sometimes on small stones, sometimes half i'm
bedded, and sometimes wholly exposed over
rocks, as was apparent from The condition of
the outer covering. The iron wires in m any
places often appeared sound but, ON minute
Inspection, were found eaten away and
rotten. The sewing was also decayed. In
some places the iron wires were coated with
metallic wires, and much eaten, they having
most probably rested upon copper ore, for
there are veins of it in Trinity Bay The gutta-
percha and copper wire are, however, in as
good condition as when laid down." These
portions of the cable recovered at Break Heart
Point, that wsre wrapped with tarred yarn,
were sound, the tar and hemp having preserv-
cd the iron wires bright and free from rust

Political Ambition and its Rewards.

The eloquent testimony of Guizot, which We
copy below, to tho emptiness Of political dis
tinctiOn, ought to reconcile those who have
never succeeded in attaining such distinction
to the more obscure walks of life, in which the
multitude OF men must always remain. We
find it quoted by a contemp porary from the
third volume of the recently published me-
moirs Of the great statesman and historian
| have no desire to intrudo my private life
and feelings on public attention. The more
they are profound and tender, the less are they
disposed to exhibit themselves, for I cannot
show them in their intense reality: Kings ex-
hibit their crown jewels to the inspection of
the curious; but we do not parade our private
treasures, the value Of which is only known to
the owners. Yet when the fatal day arrives
in which these invaluable possessions are
wrested from US, it would be evincing toward
them proper want Of respect and faith not to
declare the esteem in which they were held
and the void they have left have been
strongly attached to political life, and have
applied myself to it with ardor. have devo-
ted to public duties, without hesitation, the
sacrifice and efforts they demanded from me-
but these pursuits have ever been far indeed
from satisfying my desires. 1t is not thatiI
complain Of the incidental trials. Many pub
lie servants have spoken with bitterness Of the
disappointments they have experienced, the
reverses they have undergone, the seventies
of fortune, and the ingra;itude of men. have
nothing of the kind to say, for have never
acknowledged such sentiments. However vio-
lent may have been stricken, / have never
found men more blind or ungrateful, or my po-
litical destiny more harsh than expected. It
has had alternately, and in great abundance,
its joys and sorrows; such is the law of human
ity. But it has been in the happiest days, and
in the midst Of the most brilliant success of my
career, that have found the insuficiency of
public life. The political world is cold and
calculating; the affairs of government are lofty
and powerfully impress the thought; but they
cannot ill the soul which has often more varied
and more pressing aspirations than those of the
most ambitious politician. 1t longs for hap
piness more intimate, more complets, and more
tender than that which all the labors and tri-
umphs Of active exertion and public import
ance can bestow: What know to-day, at the
end of my race, I have felt when it began, 4 and
during its continuance; even in the midst of
great undertakings, domestic affections form
the basis Of life; and the most brilliant career
has only superficial and incomplete enjoyments,
if stranger to the happy ties of family and
friendship" n (. :
