SIMPLICITY IN STYLE.-A letter fell
into my hands which a Scotch servant
girl had written to her lover. It's style
charmed me. It was fairly inimitable; !
wondered how, in her circumstances 10
life, she could have acquired SO elegant
and perfect a style. showed the letter
to some Of my literary friends in New
York, and they unanimously agreed that
it WAS model'of beauty and elegance.
l then determined TO solve the mystery,
and l went to the house where she was
employed and asked her how it was that
in her humble circumstances in life, she
had acquired style so beautiful that the
most cultivated minds could but admire
il, "Sir," she said, II came 10 this
country four years ago. Then | did not
know how to write. But since then ]
have learned how to read and write, but
l have not learned how to spell; so al
ways, when / sit down to write letter,
/ choose those words which are SO short
and simple that / am sure / know how to
spell them." There was the whole secret.
The reply Of this simple minded Scotch
girl condenses a world of rhetoric into
nut shell. Simplicity is power.

Parisi They tell us of a Russian there
who wears the remains of his wife in a

The New ATLANTIC CALE.-The
new Atlantic cable, now nearly complet-
ed in England,is wonder of mechani-
cal skill. There are seven copper wires
to form the conductor. The entire length
Of the telegraph will be $500 miles, so
that there are $4,000 miles of copper
wire. Every portion of this copper wire
is subjected 10 electrical tests TO ascertain
its quality for conduction before it is al.
lowed to be worked up. The next stage
is to coat these wires with eight success
sive coats of the insulating material, equal
to an aggregate length Of lS,400 miles,
This coat is next covered with jute wound
round it from ten strands, making $4,000
miles of jate yarn. Then comes the out
er coating formed of ten covered iron
wires. The iron wire itself is $4,000
miles in length, and each wire is covered
separately with five strands Of tarred
hemp, 235,00O miles of the latter being
required, making together an aggregate
length Of material employed Of 2l5,000
miles, or very nearly as much as would
put ten girdles around the earth, or form
line that would stretch almost from the
earth to the moon.

BURNIEa A WILL.-Mr. Jamison, re-
Gently deceased, left his estate, about one
hundred thousand dollars in value, prin-
cipally TO bis sons, leaving TO his daugh-
ters, three in number, only six thousand
dollas each, coupled with the strange con-
dition that that amount should be forfeit
ed II they married without the consent Of
the executor, Mr. Thomas J. Craven.
The young ladies sent for Mr.. Craven,
and desired to look at the will. He went
there and found hot fire in the stove, a
table opposite, with seats on the side near
the stove for the ladies, and one on the
further side from the stove for himself.
One of the ladies stated that she wished
to examine some items, and requested the
will to be handed to her. Mr.. Craven
complied with the request, but suspecting
her intention, moved to the opposite side
of the table and sat Alongside Of her.
She examined the will carefully, when
he perceived Miss Annie Jamison open the
stove door. He al once moved to take
hold OF the will, suspectng her intention,
when his suspicious were allayed by her
asking her sister for the poker. Thinking
she wished only to poke the fire, he felt
rather ashamed Of bis suspicious, when he
was handed Harper's Magazine to look
at. This for moment diverted his at
tention, when, in an instant, the will was
handed to Annie with the leaves all open
ed, and rammed into the hot stove. Mr..
Craven WAS pushed on one side, the light
put out, and the will, before he could in
terfere, destroyed forever. g ai
The ladies say they would not mind the
small amount of money left them, but
they do object to one not connected with
the family having anything TO say with
their matrimonial engagements.

SCOTLAND

Affords the most remarkable instance of the
favour with which this Company has been re-
ceived, and illustrates the fact that hitherto in
the history of this Establishment impediments
and distinctions, by generating energy to over
come, only accelerate its consequent progress.
Whilst the WESTERN BRANCH, in Scotland,
more than maintains the high position it had
already reached, the EASTERN BRANCH, at
Edinburg, under its interchangeable Local Man
ager, has made a progress in its Fire Business
which may be deemed in that country to be
almost unprecedented. Merchants and Manu-
f~aoturers, and Insurers, indeed, of all classes,
have been convinced that the ROYAL INSURANCE
COMPANY, while promoting its own advance
ment, looks likewise to the accommodation and
interests of it's Insurers, and on that account it
is gradually progressing to a position in Scot
land possibly not far behind that of the best of
its own native Establishments. 1t is most
gratifying to add that likewise in its Life Pre-
miums, the Company has had a large develop
ment in a land distinguished by the magnitude
and excellence gifts great Institutions.
