DIFFERENCE OF TINE AT Prominent
PoINTs.-The Inauguration of submarine
telegraphic communication by means of the
Atlantic cable, makes it interesting to in
quire into the difference of time in the va

at New York, it is fifty five minutes and
forty-two seconds after four p NJ, at Lon
don; fifty-seven minutes and twenty seconds
after six P. NJ. at St. Petersburg: seventeen
minutes and twenty four seconds after seven

at Bremen; forty minutes and thirty-two
seconds after four p. ". at Dublin and
forty-one minutes and twenty four seconds

1HE WAY TO DO IT.-A number of wears
ago, Charles Ii. and Clara S. were mar.
ried In the city of New York. Charles was
wealthy and in good business-yery com.
portable circumstances for a young man.
which tended, of course, to develop his
naturally liberal disposition. Feeling thus
happy and independent of the worlds frowns.
ne proposed to his youthful bride one day
uuring the honeymoon. to give her five
thousand dollars for every scion of his
house which should be engrafted upon the
family tree-an arrangement, as may be
supposed, to which the lovely Clara made
not the slightest objection. Time passed on,
Charles faithfully performing his agreement,
and making no inquiries as to the disposi-
ton OF his money by his better half. until
Ihey had been married some ten years; for
tune, which had smiled with constancy,
suddenly turned her back, and left him ap
parentiy high and dry, among the breakers
OF Wall street. When the crisis had arrived,
he went home with heavy heart to announce
the sad news to his wife, that he was an ir.
retrievably ruined man-that his property
had all gone to satisfy his creditors, and
nothing was left Not exactly so bad as
that, my DEAR said Clara. Wait min
ute and see what | have been doing
Thus saying, she ran up stairs, and soon
returned with a deed in her own name,
of one-haf of an elegant block of houses in
the neighborhood, worth thirty thousand
dollars. You see | have been Industrious
continued she, and have laid up something
for rainy day. If you had been as smart
as your brother, we might have had the
whole block by this time"
