On man assists the devil to damn

This very man Morton, when he was

helped him up [ironicul cheers1 and
when they got him up they had TO set
him in an armchair, and had to tumble
and hunt UP an old manuscript that he

two kinds OF influences which wear
away human life. Ono is the constant
and silent wear and tear OF time, that
takes the man beyond "that bourne
whence no Traveller returns" which
disorganizcs all organized things, and
resolves matter back into its pristine

There Is N personal dcbauchcry. There
is moral and physical dccrepitude which

The attempt OF tho steamer Great
Eastern to lift and repair the Atlantic
ocean cable of 1868 has failed, owing to
stormy weather, and tho great ship has
returned to England. Tho work is
postponed until next year. The fault
has been located at point not far east

The cable was successfully grappled
and lifted several times. A portion of
the original cable, that of 1858, was
brought up during the graphing opc-
