From the Atlanta New Era.
THE ATLANTIC CABLE.
by A. n. WATSON.
Now God be praised The deep is spannea'
And through til nstonished water
The mother-land, with lips of fire.
Statutes her prairie daughter.
The old and new are trebly bound
In close affiliations.
Six hundred leagues of iron tongue
Are talking to the nations.
praise be the work What man has done
Is Gods especial glory;
His lightning is the eloquence
That tells the world the Story
A whisper through the silent deep,
Rings round the earth like thuhder'
We greet the new Apocalypse
With gratitude and wonder'
Now God be praised What he hath done
Between the distant nations,
Shall ring with glory to HIS naihe'
Adown the generations.
Praise be His name The end achieved
Has justified the presage,
Now let us telegraph to HIM
A universal message.
That lie to glorify His power
Made man the humble lever;.
And let the fame with rapt acclaim
