| A friend of mine hit upon an ingenious
expedient to suppress his neighbours dog,
which made business of barking and
bowling when honest people wanted to
sleep. He buried a dozen very small fish

to the tempting morsel, and lowered it
down the partition fence into his neigh
boris back yard. During the night that
dog lost his voice, and his owner lost his

Speaking of that generous lecturer re-
minds me of another remarkably liberal
man, who lives in Illinois. During the
recent war; he donated no less than three
hundred thousand dollars to the Govern
ment, to help put down the rebellion. He
didn't give that amount in money exactly,
nor in army supplies, but in adcice.

DICK'S WATCH.

Dear little Dick. curled up by the fire
Sat watching the shadows come and go,
As the dancing flames leaped higher and higher,
Flooding the room with a mellow glow.
His chubby hand on his side was pressed
And he turned for a moment a listening ear;
Mother, y cried he. I've got waict!

Yes, Dick. 'tis a watch that God has made,
To mark your hours they fly away;
He holds the key in His mighty hand,
And keeps it in order night and day
''Should He put aside the mystic key,
Or lay His hand on the tiny spring,
The wheels would stop and vour watch run down
And lie in your bosom lHeless thing
He crept to my side. and whispered soft
While his baby voice had an e-struck sound
II wish you would ask Him, mother, dear,
To be sure and remember to keep 1t loOundl'

ANOTHER OCEAN CABLE.

In the huestors Guardian, a newspaper
published in London, an article attracts
our attention which speaks of the prob
ability Of another cable being laid from a
point on the coast of Ireland, to some
place in New Hampshire. From the
fact that the present routes, the Anglo
American, and the French Atlantic, each
pay a profit of seven to eight per cent
per annum, and are both at from fifty to
sixty dollars premium, ii renders this
frailest of properties, ocean telegraphs,
one of the most material in the shape of
dividends. The present rates charged
over the old routes, from England and
France. is four English shillings per
word, but the prospective company offer
10 lower the rates one-half, and at this
reduction the directors anticipate being
able 10 pay ten per cent, at the price of
fifteen cents per word. Messrs Siemens
Brothers are the contractors and engage
for the completion and submersion of the
cable, for ST, 600, 900, and the core to be
heavier than any now existing; the dis
tance to be 5000 nautical miles from
point to point. 1t is asserted that a
working capital of 5000 pounds will be
available after the contractors have been
paid.
After citing the above facts We have
only to say that, in accord with all mon
oplies, the present cable has charged en-
ormously; but its stockholders and di-
rectors have become very rich. and we. Of
this section, heartily endorse any project
which may work the reduction of rates.
The feasibility of the enterprise is at
once apparent. as, at the lower rates
charged with the same facility of COM
munication, the patronage would be much
increased, and permit us to transact bus
mess across the ocean at lower rate
than heretofore. Competition is the
life Of trade, and all who have ever been
in business, no matter how contracted,
know this. The telegraphic cable,
though insignificant in point Of size, is
a medium of greater importance than
any other invention of the age, as being
an index or current of thought, beneti-
cient in effect, and profitable in opera
ton.

REVOLUTION IN SPAIs.-This people OF
revolution seem determined to keep up
i,heir well-earned reputation for insta-
.'bility and desire for change. Only short
time since Monarchy, now Republic,
and good prospects ahead for revolu-
ton. And what kind Of revolution? !?
A change from what? They have no
government, and have not had for
many years, except by suffrage of the
people. They claim to be first class
power, and, If to be first-class power
consists in ignorance of the masses and
continual strife among themselves, they
certainly deserve the front rank. While
these revolutions are progressing in
Spain, their dependents in Cuba are wae-

ful in establishing the independence of
the native population. Query? viii
