food. At length, however, thein6rmities of

heavy bag of rice. As they were leaving the
market town together, the sonsuddenly stop

objects, cried, "Father, what are these

LIFE'S SUNSET.
Where are you going so fast, old man,
Where are you going so fast'
There's clasp of the hand and parting word,
And a tremulous sigh for the past, old man,
The beautiful vanished past.
The road has been rugged and rough, old man
To your feet it's rugged and rough,
Butyou see q dear being with gentle eyes,
Has shared in your labor End sacrifice;
All! that has been sunshine enough, old man,
~'" For you and me, sunshine enough.
How long since you've passed over the hill, old man
OF life o'er the top Of the hill?
Were there beautiful valleys on t'other side!
To shut out the heat of the sun, old man,
The heat Of the fervd sun?
And how do you cross the waves, old man,
OF sorrow, the fearful waves:
Did you lay your dear treasures by, one by one,
With an aching heart and Goods win be DONE"
Under the wayside dust, old man,
In the graves meath the wayside oust?
There is labor and sorrow for all, old man,
Alas, there Is sorrow for all,
And you, peradventure, have had your share,
For eighty long winters have whitened your hair,
AND they've whtened your heart as well, old man,
Thank God, your heart as well.
You're now at the foot of the hill, old man,
At last at the foot Of the hill;
The sun has gone down In golden glow,
And the heavenly city lies Just below
Go In through the pearly gate, old man,
The beautiful pearly gate.

The Atlantic Cable.

Cyrus West Field, the author and inisber
of the marvellous work which has now been
cousummated in the laying of the Atlantic
Telegraph, is native of Steckbridge, Mas
sachusetts, and is in the forty ninth year of
his age At fifteen years of age be began
his career as clerk, 10 New York city,
and in q few years after was at the head of
heavy mercantile house 10 that city, from
which he retired, partially, in 1853, with a
large fortune. he went, soon after, to
South America, and on his return, some
six months afterwards, became interested
in the great scheme of u telegraph across
the ocean. His attention was specially di-
rected to the subject of being called upon
to aid in completing line commenced be-
tween St Johns and Cape Ray, in New.
fouudlsud. While looking into this scheme,
the idea was impressed upon him of stretch
ing a submarine line from Newfoundland
20 Ireland
In 1854 he procured charter from the
Legislature of Newfoundland, granting an
exclusive right, for fifty years, to establish
line from the Continent Of America to
Newfoundland, and thence to Europe,
Peter Cooper, Moses Taylor, and other
eminent citizens of New York being asso-
oiated with him, under the title of the
"New York, Newfoundland, and London
Telegraph Company" for the purpose of
carrying this stupeudous enterprise into
effect. Thepceforth all bis wonderful ener
gies and great busines capabilities were
devoted to the gigantic work he had taken
in hand.
In the construction of the land line in
Newfoundland, and in the two attempts to
lay line connecting that island with Cape
Breton, he was the leading spirit, visiting
England iu 1854 and 1856 on the latter
business.
In 1856 he organized the "Atlautic Tel.
egraph Company" which was incorporated
by an "act of Parliament, session 1857"
George Peabody being one of the directors
and Mr. Field being chosen as "General
Manager"
On the 5th of August, 1857, the eastern
end of the cable was drawn on..sbore from
the Niagara at Ballycarby bay by American
sailors, his Excellency the Earl of Carlisle,
Lord Lieutenant Of Ireland, coming down
from Dublin to encourage by his presence
the great patriotic international enterprise
On the 7th of August the squadron bore
away for the west, and on the llth of that
month the cable parted, when $50 miles
from the coast of Ireland, and this ended
the first attempt.
The company, under the indefatigable
leadership of Mr.. Field, went vigorously
forward, gathering wisdom from their un-
successful attempt, and in August, 1858, a
second trial was more successful. When
about a hundred miles of the cable bad
been laid, it parted in mid ocean. The
break, however, was repaired, and the cable
laid from the coast of Ireland to the coast
of America, so that signals actually passed

OUTcAsTs ON ACCOUNT OF CASTE. E.-The
Boston correspondent of the Chicago (Ill.)
Tribune tells the following story:
"Among the visitors whom the summer
has brought to Boston is Liberian family
of wealth and position, proposing to travel
through America, and expecting certainly
to fne hospitable welcome in Boston, if
nowhere else. They travel in luxurious
style, accompanied by their servants, several
degrees blacker than themselves. They
stopped here at the Marlborough Hotel,
recommended to them as the most liberal
in the city. But after stay of only one
day they we're called on by the landlord
and informed that be could not permit them
to sit at his table on account of the preju-
dioes of his customers He generously
offered to send meals to their rooms; but
this exclusion the proud spirits of the Llbe.
rians could net brook, and they left the
house. Not another place iu the fanatical
city of Boston could be found to shelter
them, and they sought refuge ip boarding
house at Salem. Even here the spirit Of
caste pursues them, and the pressure from
her other guests has compelled the landlady
to ask them to sit at a second and separate
table. They are both astonished and
