HOW j GOT MARRIED. 9lla ,Isps
@ OR coURTINqg By TELEGRAPH. fe,.,
Everybody knows that for the last few
years telegraph companies in England
have employed females in the instrument
departments Of some of their principal sta
tions. The work is light and clean, and
very we'll adapted for young ladies. Most
of them acquire the art of telcgraphing in
very short time, and there are now in
the service many who are able to send and
receive messages as we'll as the best of the
male staff j a3ab G, Eie I'D gdi
Young ladies are much the same every
where and it would, of course, be next to
impossible for them to remain any length
Of time in room without desiring to hold
a fair amount of conversations with theil
companions. So that when a circuit hap.
pens to be slack, the young lady who has
charge of it finds q gread deal of relief in
speaking to the clerks of the stations at
the other end Of the wire. ...t... i. r..
After | had been some time in the ser,
vice, and was supposed to be thoroughly
acquainted with the work, was appointed
to station which | do not wish to bt
known by any other name than that o.
Merton. ta
After had introduced myself to thosc
who were to be my fellow clerks, | took
possession Of the instrument appropriated
to me- and as usual, inquired the name o.
the lady with whom was to work.
| Quick as thought | received for answer
"Amy Watson. Who are you.'' Having
given my name, and the station from which
I | had come, we entered into conversation
upon general subjects, such as the weather
descriptions of different towns through
which had passed, &c, &c
| soon found, that in addition to being
an excellent hand at telegraphing, my fail
correspondent was very entertaining il
conversation, and it was very easy to dis
cover from the way in which she acted
during press of business, that she was o.
very amiable disposition. These con
versations went on for some time, till al
length / was miserably dull when away
!, from the instrument, and always eager t
discharge, as quickly as possible, those
duties which occasionally called me away
so that 1 might return to speak to my

exercised such an influence over me, anc
at length, after much persuasion, and hav

mother, we exchanged portraits If Twas

than ever to see the original. Ito heal
the sound of her voice--which was sur,
from the expression of her face in the por

bright blue eyes, seemed to me the objects
most to be desired Of any in the world.
j applied for and obtained leave of alb

thing that I had pictured was nough
