How THE WONDER is WoRKRD.-The
readers of the Ledger doubtless obscrv~
ed in the cable dispatches notice that
the cable laid in 1865 "had failed, at
twenty minutes past twelve o'clock on the
day before; and that an electrician would
leave London in the evening to "locate
the fault" They of course understood
that it was the mission of the gentleman
mentioned to 60 to the shore end of the
cable on the coast of Ireland, to ascertain
at Uhat point Of the two thousand miles
Of cable buried under the sea the cable
had been injured or broken. And we
have no doubt some of them have won-
dered how it was possible for the electri-
clan to know, or to learn, schere the fault
or the break could be, considering that
some portions of the wire were thousand
miles distant from his point Of observa-
ton, and great deal OF 1T buried deep
from human sight two miles beneath the
surface of the sea- Yet every part Of
that long distance, and every fathom Of
thar vast abyss of water, are within the
reach Of the electricians Instrumental
hands, and within the ken of his scientific
eye. 1t is quite practical for him to "io-
cate the fault" or the break, within a half
mile of its actual position, no matter
where it be.

HUMAN llfEi MHAI ISII2

Say not life Is but ubble
Cast up from eternity;
Life !. real, life is noble
IL We make II thus to be-
No, by weeks, by months, by Years.
Do VIC measure human life
Bat by hopes, by prayers. by fears,
by their triumph, aud their strife
Far, far back In time eternal,
Glorious wisdom fashioned earth:-
Wonderous love. cen love supcrnal.
Gave humanity its birth
Let US make man In cur own image"
Rang out on the ambient air;--
Let US give him reason. cournge
And dominion everywhere.
On this sphere LET none oppose him,
But his will all things control,
And to crown all, we wilLgive him
Immortality Of soul"
Thus our all-wise, loving Father
Gave us Heaven. and earth in one,
Then when sin came, gave US later
His only, dear beloved Son.
Jesus by perfect living.
Marked for us, the way to live,
Then His own dear lifc-blood giving
TO redeem. mankind TO save
Justice claimed that man should suffer
For the sins that he had done,
But Jesus intcrposed, I'm answer,
Pay them all, yes every ONE
Harrassed by the cruel tempter,
Tortured by all human woes,
Agoniting in the garden,
With grief no mortal knows;--
Yet through all these varied stages
Lending human life charm,
Which shall last throughout all ages,
For All ills, a healing balm.
What is human life? The rarrst
Gilt, that Heaven could devise,
Placed on earth, the choicest, ftircst, -
Fen a very paradise
Dwelling fit for soul immortal
To begin the higher life,
Which shall reach beyond the portal,
OF sins sorrows, and its strife.
But says one, "My life is drcary,"

"lleavy laden ones, and weary,
Come re all now, unto me.
joy and peace, and rest, I'll give thee,
Hope and love, thy soul shall fill,
If thou only wilt believe me
And obey iny holy will"
Can we say life's but bubble,
Fraught with blessings such as these,
See in it nothing but trouble,
Or pass it by in careless ease
No, oh no we'll bravely rally
Take it up with right good will
With its time we will not daily,
But strive its mission to fulfill.
From the life of our dear Saviour,
We will try to fashion ours
BY our words, and our behaviour,
Scatter living, fragrant flowers;
Which shall cheer and gladden. others,
All around wherc'cr we go,
Saying mankind all are brothers
Thus died Jesus here below.
For the love that has redeemed us,
For all blessings from above;
With all powers that are within us,
Strive our gratitude, to prove
Thoughts and efforts reaching higher,
Till we h ear the glad ''well donc,-
Loved and blessed of my Father,
Welcome home, your crown is won,"

CANNED TOMATOES. Select fair, ripe
tomatoes. and pour boiling water over
them to remove the skins. Peel them
carefully, cutting out all hard spots, and
slice thin. Put into large porcelain
kettle-iron Or tin is not desirable on ac-
count Of the acid contained in the tomato.
Let them boil hard, and then skim off the
crust that rises. After boiling for half
an hour OF so, season slightly with salt
aud pepper.
The glass cans should be placed urou
several thicknesses of cotton cloth,
thoroughly wet in cold water, and. for
convenience, they can bc placed in a
large tin pan, and brought TO the stove or
range, and filled from the kettle while
still boiling hare over the fire.
| Place silver tablespoon in each jar
before filing it up, and it will prevent
the glass from cracking upon receiving the
boiling tomato.
| ltrequires two persons to can tomatoes
or fruit, for success depends upon the ra.
pidity with which the operation is pre-
formed While one fills the jars, the 9TH
er can put on the covers instantly, and
screw them tightly in place. Now take a
| thick towel and stand each jar upon its
head. This operation will determine
( whether they are air-tight. Let them
stand until entirely cool then put in q
