D;Fcreuce I'm Women,

There is nothing more distinctive in
women than the difference of relative
age among them. Two women Of the
same number of years will be substan-
TALLY of different epochs of iife-the
one wearied in mind, faded in person,
deadened in sympthy; the other fresh
and young, Doth in face and feeling;
with sympathies as keen and broad as
they we're in her first youth, and more
80; still rs easy to be amused, as ready
to love, and as quick to learn rs when
she first emerged from the school-room.
The one you involuntarily suspect of
undertaking her age by halfa dozen
year or more when she tells you she is
only forty; the other makes you wonder
If she has not overstated hers by just
as much when she laughingly confesses
to the same age. The one Is an old
woman, who seems as II she had never
been young; the other only q s irl, who
seems rs if she would never grow old;
and nothing is equal between them but
the number Of days each has lived.

Andrew Jackson.

When Andrew Jackson left his home
i'm North Carolina for Tennessee, his
mother gave him this advice, as re-
lated by himself to Mr.. w. HI. Sparks
of Georgia: ANDY" said she, (she
always called me Andy.) "you are
going to a new country, and among a
rough people; you will have to depend
on yourself, and cut your own way
through the world have nothing to
give you but a mother advice. Never
tell lie, nor take what is not your
own, nor sue anybody for slander or
assault and battery always settle them

Personal Independence.

All things ATTEST the nobleness OF per-
sonal independence, and all things at,
test the need of it. Why then should
we not devote ourselves tc its culture? !?
Is it thing hopeless of attainment?
To Judge what Is right is no easy mat
ter: and the individual verdicts might,
very possibly, clash together in man
ner most deplorable. But the way to
learn swimming is not to stand shiver-
ing ON the bank of the pool. No dread
of the plunge will answer the purpose
of the dip and struggle. The proper
way to judge wisely Is to judge as wise
ly as you can. Would you have light,
use the light you have. Consciences,
like limbs, are made strong by using
them. Self-reliance comes from rely
ing on self, in hope that self will pre-
sently become worth relying on.

A WIND IN THE STREET.

A country wind is in the strett:
'Tis blowing soft, tits blowing sweet;
How fresh it falls on check and eyes!
'Tis kissing us from Paradise.
Oh il has Travelled sea and height,
ON thymy flowers, the red and white,
Ger golden gOrse, and rosy bells
That spread their splendor to the dells;
1t siumbered all perfumcd night
On hundred hue. of blossom bright;
And shook its wings IN glowing skies,
Where LOST in blue the pla ct dies;
And sped away to farm and fold,
All touched with mornings early gold.
1t lcaped upon the sleeping lake.
And walked the fawns with waving brake
1t rustlcd through the leaf-hung deeps
Where'e- the shy-eyed squirrel leaps,
And ont on grass and pillow in linz,
With song OF birds and low ok inc:
And now tits in the midst-b street,
But newly throDgcd with passing feet.
Why blows il here SO light ana glad
On many a forehead dark and sadY
1t is that Gods immortal love,
From radiant plains in Heaven above,
Has suddenly, in pity, come
Tovisit Mans o',rwearied home,
And breathcs q br.a .ath Of hope and life
On scenes OF sorrow, care, and strife.

A Novelty i'm Telegraphing.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany have lately obtained con;r'.l Oi
Mr.. j. Is. Stearns' patents iOr tiars-
mitting telegraphic messages Ill cipo-
site directions on a single wire at the
same time, and are eqIipping the larg-
er offices with the necessary instru-
ments as rapidly as possible. This
system has been thoroughly tested du-
ring the last four years, and is now
considered by the inventor, and by
those conversant with electrical mat
tiers, as nearly perfect as need be. 1t
is in reality very simple, and consists
merely in neutralizing the effect OF the
sender's current upon his own relay as
it goes out to the line, thereby permit
ting the received currents to operate
the the relay, precisely as if it were
connected direct to the ground.
There are two sets OF these lnstru-
ments now in the general office in this
city, aud will be found in daily use by
those interested.
During the late Convention the
amount of business thrown upon the
wires was enormous, enabling the
operators to test the capability of the
"Duplex Telegraph" as it is techani-
cally named, to the utmost. 1t was
found that one wire worked in this
manner could no as much as two with
the ordinary Morse instruments.
The machinery here was set up, and
the operators instructed by Mr.. G. H.
Summers, formerly of this city, the
company's electrician, who isnow else
where performing similar duties.
As an evidence of the value of MIR.
Stearns' machinery for the transmits
sion of messages both wsys over the
same wire at the same time, We give
the following from the manager of the
New York office:

American Wonders.

Silver Springs, Fla, is one of the
greatest curiosities in the South. 1t
bursts forth in the midst of the most
fertile country in the state. 1t bubbles
up in a basin near one hundred feet
deep and abcut an acre in extent, and
sending from it a deep stream sixty TO
one hundred feet wide and extending
six or eight miles to Ocklawaha river.
In the spring itself fifty boats may lie
at anchOr-quite fleet. The spring
thus forms q natural inland port to
which three steamers now run regular

ly wonderful. 1t seems even more
transparent than air; you see the bottom
eighty feet below the bottom of your
boat, tire exact form of the smallest
pebble, the outline color of the leaf
that has sunk, and all the prismatic
colors of the rainbow are reflected.
