Garden W Ork.

Those of our country friends who have
not realized the truth Of the following, have
deprived themselves of one of the truest
sources of pleasure which the country can
afford:
The sincere>t pleasures OF the home
life are woven closely in with those of the
garden. | have almost made one of my
own heart. from the habit of living over
aeain the delight used TO take in digging,
planting, wedding, and watering the little
lalf-acre Elysium, where grew so luXu-
riantlv my bulbous cabbages and bright
eyed beans | am conscious that Goethe
did not miss of the general truth IN his
observation that he took the solideSt de-
light in the simplest pleasures and, for
IN enduring pleasure, clean and sweet both
in itself and its memories, we can truly
think OF nothing in Nature before little
rarden. 1t should not be so large as to
become a task-master, AMI thus worry out
to excite the physical energy and give a
healthy start to the thought.
Work, before breakfast, in the retired
garden-spot is a sort of inspiration for the
rest of the day In that still hour. YOU
mark how your lettuce and cabbages have
shot up during the night, and at once re-

Telegraph Fac-SinliIeS.

Mr.. Field has brought out to this coun-
try a number of very interesting specimens
of the system of telegraphing now III opera
ton between Paris and Lyons, and Paris
and Bordeaux, by which exact copies Of
the message ara, produced at either extremi-
tv of the lines, solely by mechanical means.
The message is written on prepared paper,
covered with a lead-colored surface, which
is Il non conductor of the electric fluid.
The writing, or drawing, in the ink furn-
ishcd for the purpose, changes the points
touched by it to the opposite electrical
character. The pendulum Is swinging at
each end of the circuit in union. Its up
per end is divided into points-sav, like
4 fne-toothed comb. The message being
passed over these at one end sends a cur
rent to correspond with the writing or lines,
and produces an exact copy of the original
upon the prepared paper held II the vibrat-
ing pendulum in the distant city. Thus a
fac-simile of writing and signature Is fur
nished without any skill Of the operator. \
drawing Of the likeness of q thief or alb
scondna clerk Is reproduced with minute
faithtulnesS Patterns of machinery, pat
terms for bonncts, hieroglyphics, messages
IN Chinese, or in an unknown tongue, are
copied with a. little trouble as the SIM
plest letters of familiar alphabet. Some
notices of this have been given in foreign
Journals. but no mere verbal description
can convey full idea of the wonderful pro-
cess. The Hibernian who insisted, some
years ago, that the telegraph operator should
forward his photograph over the wires to his
sweetheart, was only little ahead Of hi
age. since this can now be done without
the slightest trouble. provided the likenes,

How SHALL WE Pronounce NEITHER
Some persons saw nee ther " and some say
.. nj ther." Which is right? Both: or. AT
least, it can not be said that either is abso-
lutely wrong. lnall questions otthis sorttw
things are to be considered. Firs,, what 1t
is the best and prevailing usage? and sec
Ondly. which mode Is the more analogical,
that is to say, the more accordant with the
way in which other words of similar for
nation are pronounced? 1t Is often diff
cult to determine which of the two modes
is more favored by usage; but in the pres
ent ease there is little no room for un-
certainty. Although "ni ther has come
to be very common in England, and Is some
times heard in this country, the great ma
jority of good speakers say nee ther," and
so do nearly all the dictionaries. On the
ground of analogy, too, there Is good rea-
son for this pronunciation tor the com
bined vowels ei have the sound of only III
height, Sleight, and one or two other words
whereas they have the sound OF &c IN qu te
numerous class of words examples OF
which are, ceiling, cOnceit, perceire, seize.
etc. 1t is said that DIR. Johnson, the cele-
brated author of Johnson's Dictionary, was
once asked whether he was in the habit OF
saving " nee ther" or '.ni ther ?" "Nayf-
ther," was the laconic response. In pro-
nouncing the word. he followed a practice
which was very common in his day, but
which is no longer observed, except by some
among the Irish. If our pronunciation
were regulated by considerations ofanalogy
alone, we also should say may 'ther;"
for oy Is the regular and prevailing sound
of ei, their being great many more words
in which this combination has that sound
then there are those in which it has the
sound of re or of I. Examples are detgn,
feign. ei3ht, treiyh heinous, rel, rein, shein
lreiyh, neighbor, etc.

4 Faithful Dog.

The Edinburgh Scotsman says y
very singular and interesting occurrence
was recently brought to light IN the Burgh
Court, by the hearing and summons IN re-
gard to dog-tax. Eight and half years
ago man named Gray, of whom nothing
is known except that he lived IN quiet
way in some obscure part OF the town,
was buried in Old Grevtriars' Churchyard.
His grave. leveled hv the hand OF time, and
unmarked by any stone, Is now scarcely
discernible: but though no human interest
would seem To attach to 1t, the sacred spot
has not been wholly disregarded and for
gotten. During all these years the dead
mans faithful dog has kept constant watch
and guard over the grave, and 1t was this
animal for which the collectors sought to
recover the tax. James Brown, the old
curator of the burial ground, remembered
Gray's funeral. and the dog, Scotch ter
rier. was, he says, one of the most con-
spicuous of the mourners. The grave was
closed in as usual, and next morning, Bob
by.' as the dog is called, was found lying
on the newlv-made mound. This was an
innovation which old James could not per,
nit for there was an order at the gate
stating, in the most intelligible characters
that dogs were not admitted. Bobby
was accordingly driven out: but the mex
morning he was there again, and for th'
second time was discharged. The thir(
morning was cold and wet, and when th'
old man saw the faithful animal, in spite o
all chastisement, still lying shivering on tn
grave, he took pity on him and gave hin
some food
This recognition of his devotion gay

ent he has never spent a night away fror

attempts have been made to keep him
within doors, but by dismal howls he has
interference Is not agreeable to him, and
latterly he has always been allowed to have
his way. Al almost any time during the
dav h. may be seen in or about the church
Yard: and no matter how rough the night
uiay be nothing can induce him TO torsake
the ha!lowed spot. whose identity, despite
the irresistible obliteration it has under
cone, he has so faithfully preserved. Bob
by has many friends, and the tax-gath-
erers have by 10 means proved hi, enemies.
4 weekly treat of steaks was long allowed
hy Sergeant Scott, Of the Engineers but
for more than six years he has been regu-
larly fed 10y Mr.. John Trail, of the re,tau-
rant Il Greyfriars' place. He Is constant
and punctual in his calls, being guided in
his midday visits by the sound Of the time
gun.
ON the ground Of harboring the dog
in this way proceedings were taken up
against Mr. Trail for payment of tax. The
defendant expressed his willingness, could
he claim the dog, To be responsible for the
tax; but 80 long as the animal refused to
attach himself To any one, it was impossi-
bic, he argued, to fix the ownership-and
the court, seeing the peculiar circumstances
of the case, dismissed the summons. Bob
by has long been an object Of curiosity to
ul who have become acquainted with his
interesting history. His constant appear
ance IN the graveyard has caused many IN
quirics to be made regarding him, and
efforts out OF number have been made from
time to time to get possession of him. The
old curator, of course, was the next claim
ant to Mr.. Trail, and offered to pay the tax
himself rather than have Bobby - Grey
triars Bobby to allow him his full name
