AN AFFECTING ScENE.--An affecting
scene took place few days ago at the po-
lice station, which melted more than one
stern heart to tears. A young man Of
most respectable connections had been ar
rested for drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct, and was raving like a maniac in his
cell, when his aged mother, attired in Wild
ow's weeds, entered the station house, and
requested to be allowed an interview. The
request was granted, and she stood face TO
face with her erring son. The surprise
almost sobered him for q moment, and he
greeted her with manly tenderness, but the
demon Of intoxication soon broke forth in
fresh rawlings. The mother endeavored to
calm and soothe him, but without avail;
his dulled ear was deaf to the tones of
maternal love, and retiring from the cell
she sank into q seat, while the sobs SO long
choked down, burst forth with passionate
vehemence for her son-her fallen son, her
fond hope and pride, the prop and stay Of
her old age-for whom she would willing
ly have laid down her life. For two hours
her uncomfortable agitation had full sway,
and then, with an effort at calmness, she
departed.
| 1t was a scene which none could view
without emotion, and spoke in thunder
tones of the evils of strong drink. For
your own sake, for your mothers sake, for
Gods sake, spurn the Intoxicating bowl.
1t is fraught with ruin to body and soul )
it is liquid FIRE; distilled damnation, tho
strongest of all the devils potent enginery.
Don't drink. The ruby bowl may invite,
but there is death in every sparkle; tears
and sighs in every glowing drop. 1t win
deprive you Of health, fortune, reputation,
friends mar your every prospect blight
your every hope, bring down the gray
hairs of your parents in shame and sorrow
to the grave, and finally consign Jon .

How the Atlantic Cable is
Worked.


The other day telegrapher, who had
looked into the matter, told me, in few
words, how the Atlantic cable was worked.
had read column after column in the
papers, in the vain effort to understand
how il was done, and was asIonished
enough 1 assure you to see how simple
thing was the instrument that takes across
the sea.
Imagine very little needle--it weighs
only three-sevenths of grain-set SO
that either end points TO the powerful fixed
magne.. Over this needle is board in
which is small hole, above and behind
which is small black board. One end of
this. needle or rather magnet, is the posi-
tive and the other negative one. The
battery is taken off at onc end of the
ocean by the action Of the magnets them
selves, when operator at either side is
writing. The battery used at either end
contains only three cups a wonderfully
small number when you know that it takes
a thousand or mole to work the various
wires leading TO l45 Broadway, the head
Office here. The application of current
| from battery to .he positive magnet at
| Valentia, induces an attraction of the nee
die by the negative magnet at Hearts Con-
tent, or vice versa. The movement of
the needle is so very small, however, that
it could not be detected by the naked eye.
A powerful magnifier, however, carries
the reflection of the motion Of the needle
through the hole in the board above, and
transfers il in an enlarged, and with the
aid of light. an enlightened form to the
blackboard. The alphabet is similar To-,
though not exactly like, the " Morse" and
a motion of the needle one way implies a
dash, and the other way dot; of course
as many of each can be used as is desr-
able, the magnets being equally attractive,
holding the needle stationary when no
other influence is applied. And now the
reason why a small battery works best. 1t
is not that large battery, as has been
1 popularly supposed, would eat up the con-
Quoting wire, but that it would make the
motion of the delicate needle too violent
to use vulgar phrase, it would be perpet-
ually waLbling about" The small cur
rent used has no effect.-N. Y. Cores

A HAPPY REUNIoN.-About twenty
years since, young man left Scotland and
went to Canada. Afterware he removed
to New Hampshire where he became an
influential and popular lawyer and promi-
nent politician. Fourteen years ago his
sister, very worthy and intelligent girl,
emigrated from Scotland to this town.
Ever since her arrival in this country she
has tried to ascertain the whereabouts of
her brother. A few days since she saw
his name in the proceedings Of the Legis-
lature of New Hampshire, and immedi-
ately went TO Concord and visited the
State House. As the ladies gallery wa:
full, she was invited to take seat in the
body of the house. Soon after being
seated she saw member rise and com,
near where she was sitting to speak {,

nifty to say TO him, :. Is not this Willie

The BOIL WoRM.-Withiu the
last ten days we have heard from all
parts of the county, and our informa-
ton is, that the boil worm has literal
ly eaten up the crop. The progress
of this insect is well understood by
all, and it is not necessary to repeat
it. All of the late cotton has been
devoured by it. and the yield will
not be moro than half what was at
first anticipated. This is a gloomy
fact for both planter and merchant
to contemplate. But the planters
must not despond-must not suffer
themselves routed and driven from
the field by mere worm. Let them'
like the spider we read of, that at
tempted to fasten his web to the wall
seven times and failed, but succeeded
on the eighth trial, try again, and the
same success may attend their per
severing efforts that did those of the
little weaver of the web.
