NECESSITY FOR 1T.

The want of Line Of Telegraph, located with
a view to accommodate the river trade, has long
been felt. Many important towns are now with
out any telegraphic Communication whatever and
the lines now established between other points
are, in most cases, disconnected, following cir
cuitous routes, hundreds OF miles out OF a direct
course, causing vexatious and unnecessary delnys
to business, by reason of numerous repetitions,
and the frequent interruptions incident to long
lines. When the facts are borne in mind that the
liability of telegraph line to damage from any
cause is increased in the same proportion as its
length, and that the repetition of message dou-
bles the time necessary for its transmission, the
great and very important advantages of direc,
route over the circuitOus ones now in operation
can readily be seen.

THE PROsPsCT

Is most hattering. The location of the line is
of the best in the country. 1t passes through
q large number of importantcities and towns where
commercial intercourse is large and rapidly in
creas1ng. The country along the river is receir-
ing constant accessions of wealth and population
and these will bring an increase of trade which
must correspondingly add largely every year to
the business and profits of the accompany. An the
old telegraph companies throughout the country
are now, and have been, paying satisfactory div
idends, a capital stock that has been repeated
edly watered. Ii these companies, controlled by
few wealthy individuals owning nearly all the
stock, do this, it is quite reasonable to sup
pose that q company, owned and managed by lis
patrons, with its lines desirably located, and
with limited amount of stock, at least do
equally as we'll.

AN ENGLISH STORY.

The month of February had nearly rcay!,l
its close, and primrost's aMl early violcts were
up-pccpirs i'll the country; and III small
town-garcns pale snowdrops, more delicate
and fragile than the wild flowers, were lifting
their heads too, us if to soc what the world
looked like after the winter, and then dropping
them permanently. as though they felt shy and
tiniid at finding themselves all alone above
ground and exposed without amy protection To
the notice Of the many who stopped to gaze at
the first flowers OF the spring. But if they
had not been too shamcfaccd to observe how
kindly were the ylanccs which bade them wei
come from every passcr-by they would have
felt rewarded for the effort they had made to
appear as early as possible, and in despite Of
chilling salutations from the cold winds and of
Mn!riond!y demonstrations OH tic part OF snow.
slcct and hail-brctlrcn of the cod-wcathcr
family whose freezing reception is often more
than sufficient to corntcr-balancc the effects Of
CHEEKY smile even from the great sun himself
The little snowdrops might have known that
all welcomed them, as they came to proclaim
the goodwill of mother Earth, and appeared
as pledges Of her intention to continue through
the new year her usual annual bountics Of
which these were the earnest and the delicate
reminders.
But in the heart of the great metropolis
where lived Kate AM, Archie Neville there
were no snow-drops to tell them that winter
could not always last. From a dark and
gloomy house opening into dark and gloomy
street, tho only visible intinlations Of the cx-
istcncc.of vegetable Kingdom were the grassy
weeds which forced their way between the nays
of Il dull courtyard on the other side of the
way, and something growing in flower pot
belonging to an inhabiant of fsyAmc court
which never developed into anything rmrticu-
lar, but which now and then made feeble at
tempt at leaves when Juno came, and though
generally unsuccessful in that close loaded at
mosphcrc, maintained a sort of neutral cx-
istcncc, or rather ddnot die altogether
1t was as we have said, cold damp evening
at the end Of February and Mrs. Ncyilc had
made up the fire i'll the small srato containing
a bare handful of coal, and had told Kate to
make the room more orderly than il had been
left at the conclusion of game of ronps be-
tween -\rchic and baby Rose who was not four
years old.
''four father ii be in soon, Cattle" coz; ;inucl
her mother; ''hc likes to see the place as nice
as we can make it."
Whcrcupon Katie surveyed the task before
her, and entered upon it with Il wee wee sigh
