Number Seven.
BY ANNIE L. RUTH.

Well, yes Number seven's gone up, sir
She's the one that they brought in last nisht'
With both Of her eyes in mourning
And her cheek cut up in fight.
They put her down "drunk and disorderiy;
Well, maybe she vas--I don't know
But those thin little hands o. hers, sir.
In row wouldn't make much show.
She was still for quito good while, sir
When they'd put her into the CELL
And as looked in through the grating,
At flrst couldn't just tell
As che lay on that bench in the corner,
In q limp, doubled-up sort o. way,
With her b air all streaming around her
But what she had tainted away.
But after while-towards morning,
She began for to mutter and moan
I'll just tell you what, it amt pleasant
To be pacing th,s beat all alone,
When there's two or three vi'lent cases
A raving and cursing away
Not that this one did any cursing;
No, cir she seemed more times, to pray.
She said-for couldn't help hearing,
Each time I'd be passing the door,
Some words-"o, jimmy my darlint,
Don't strike me agin, any more
Don't kick me, your poor little Mary
Your wife that Is lovin' ye sol
For the sake Of the little dead chifder-
They re wstchin' from Heaven, know J"
Then, sudden, her voice would grow hereer,
sand what are yes wantin', now
Shuse it wasn't himself at all, sirs.
It's me that made all the row
Drunk? No; but hurt in my side, siJs,
Mono 'twasn't hint was L
I slipped on peelin' an struck me.
blessed Virgin forgive me the lien
"The station o, mister, have pity!
See the little one there on the bed,
WHAT one Of US mast he or ], sirs
Well, thin, ye can take me instead.
It's wake from the faver he is. sirs,
Twould kill him, q night on the stone,
Don't touch me | I'll walk-kiss your mammie
Howly Mother To die here alone
SO, the pain in my sides CROWN stronger!
Twas a cruel, bad bowl Whist Be still
1t Uasnt himself! Would ye have him
Ar,sted for thryin' to kill?
It's oowld-bitter cowld, in this place, here
Thank God hat it's me an not him
o, the pain Thin it's dyin' am, shure!
God take care of the baby-and Jim %
1t was just after that went in, sir;
She had d'opped from the bench to the floor
On her knees !; and saw all was over
The moment opened the door.
Dead Yes-and thank G0di For tell you,
When think of that drunken brute, Jim,
1 know that God loved her, in taking
The life she gave freely for him

TinnOuth.

Editor Ruhand Herald You are
doubtless somewhat acquainted in the
town of Tinmouth ? Your correspondent
has had the pleasure of spending the past
few weeks with that people, and would
inform yourself and public generally that
it is not a bad place to stay. Few towus
in our county and perhaps none, of equal
number of inhabitants, have sent out
from her midst as many college educated
men as this.
Wealth has flowed into the people
through the mineral resources and agri-
cultural interets the hill sides have
yielded an abundance of ore for years, but
q greater wealth, and source of happiness
has been hers for the past seven weeks.
The salvation of God has come to the
people, and most Of them have found "the
pearl of great price," and are now rejoic-
ing in sins forgiven, many that had once
professed Christ, and had left the path of
truth and life, are again walking its
pleasant way. 1t is good to hear those
that have nearly ended their life in diff
ferent service, speaking forth the praises
of God.
We hear the old of seventy winters, the
middle aged, the youth and children all
rejoicing in one common Savior, and
drinking at the same fountain, sing:
My God is reconciled
His pardoning voice hear
He owns me for his child
1 can no longer fear.
Whole households, whole districts and
whole communities are saved. The meet
ings have been conducted by the Rev. N.
M. Learned, who understands the man
agement of such meetings, although
feeble in body, he has strength given him
to labor for souls, this is his second year
on the charge and his fourth revival
meeting. God has indeed blessed his
labors to whom be all the glory, we can
but rejoice that through feeble clay souls
are Influenced and encouraged to the
Cross.
Rev. J. J. Austin has labored gloriously
with him, and their pastoral labors are
kindly appreciated by the people III nu-
merous tokens of regard.
We have visited and lived among a
goodly number, and no people have we ever
seen more hospitable and generous than
the families in Tinmouth.
We express our thanks for the kind
manner we have been received, also the
thanks of others that have received atten.
ton, who came from adjoining towns to
attend the meetings with them.
We cannot give the exact number that
have been converted, but we have heard
more than eighty speak of aims forgiven
and hope in Christ. Still the interest
continues and our prayer is that every
person in the town may find Christ. May
Gods blessing rest upon them as a town
and church, and may the fire that has
been kindled there extend far aud wide,
and may none of that kind people ever
suffer for friends of hospitality, is the
prayer of your correspondent. That they
may continue to dig up wealth from the
earth and above all that the riches OF
Gods grace may be theirs, and the gospel
remain with them, is the desire of yours,
G.%"#s.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 90. 1871.
Ocean Cables.

A bill is pending before the Senate for
the organization of two new cable COM
panies-one for the Pacific Ocean from
the United States to China and japan,
and the other to Europe by way Of the
Burmudas, Azores and other Atlantic
islands The capital stock of the Allan
tic Company is to be eight millions and
of the Pacific Company twelve millions,
the shares to be one hundred dollars each.
The bill proposes that the companies shall
issue mortgages on their property to the
Postmaster.General of the United States
to the amount of four millions for the At
lantic Company and six millions for the
Pacific Company, and the companies are
to be allowed to issue thirty year five per
cent. bonds for these several amounts, the
coupons of which shall be endorsed by
the Postmaster General. These bonds
are to be issued in installments of one
million for each thousand miles of cable
laid. At the end of five years they are
required to begin the accumulation of q
sinking fund for the payment of the
bonds. In the default of either company,
the Postmaster. Gen eral is to be allowed
to take possession and operate the lines.
He is first to provide the sinking fund
and then to secure the repayment of any
interest which the United States may
have paid. The companies are to be at
all times at the service of the Government,
at rates not exceeding five dollars for ten
words on the Atlantic lines, and fifteen
dollars on the Pacific lines, these messages
to have priority over all other business.
The Postmaster. General is also authorized
to appoint sworn confidential operators
at each end of the line. The companies
are forbidden to consolidate or make any
arrangements with any foreign company
by which the tariff shall be increased.
These companies are to have the entire
telegraph cable business of tie United
States. The last section of the bill gives
the United States the RICH to purchase
the lines at a premium of ten per cent.
The bill has for it's purpose the laying
of ocean telegraph cables and to secure
their use to the United States, and pro-
poses to establish commission consisting
OF John f. Miller of California; Bradley
Barlow of Vermont: Andrew E. Gilmore
of Wisconsin William G. Fay of New
York John Rice of nnsylvanis; Robert
Taylor of Pennsylvania; Perry NJ. Collins
of California; Paul Spsford of New
York; John t. King of Massachusetts ;
Moses f. Grinnel of New York, and John
B Case of Illinois, to organize the compa-
nies, and prepare bylaws for their regu-
lation. The commissioners are also to
open the subscription books of the COM
papy, and see that opportunity is afforded
for all persons who desire to subscribe
The project looks feasible, and is placed
in the hands of energetic men who gen.
orally accomplish what they undertake

WEST CONCORD I'm 1880, Ira Cheney,
a oomiosl boy, attended school in the Gut
ting district. The teacher required the
boys to take turns in building fires morn
ings. There was large fireplace in the
room, and the teacher who loved warm
room, gave his orders for big fires. One
night he told Cheney it would be his turn
in the morning, and as it was going to be
a cold night, he gave him express orders
to pack the chimney meaning, of course,
the fre-place) full of wood. In the morn
ing, Cheney built big fire, and just be-
fore the teacher came in sight, he took a
lot of rails from near fence, mounted the
roof and crammed them down the chin
ney. When the teacher came, the fire
was streaming from the chimney to an
alarming distance, and indicated that
everything inside was on fire. The boy
was taken to do for attempting to break
up the school, by burning the house down.
But as it appeared that he had literally
executed orders, he was excused.-Lgldon
