The Postal Telegraph.

Harper's WeeEly thus testiises to the
success Of the Postal Telegraph in England:
As the sole manager of tho telegraph, the
Post-ofice has proved singularly successful.
The Government purchased the lines at an
extravagant rate, and was misled by the
owners as to the amount of the returns.
Yet with all this disadvantage of an impru-
dent bargain, the new system promised to
be profitable as well as useful For small
sum, that does not vary with the distance,
a message may be sent to any part of the
kingdom; it may be dropped in letter box
or left at postal station. The uniformity
of the rate, like that of postage, has proved
q strong attraction, the messages, according
to the last Postoffice report, have increased
$1,000, 900, or at the rate of 3, 000, 600 yearly
Unusual accuracy is obtained. The press
is enlarging it's use of the wires with extra
ordinary rapidity. The telegraph is rapidly
becoming constant mode of communication
for all classes, and avarice of stockholders
Or the extravaganza of directors no longer
impedes the intercourse of Englishmen.
The charges will, no doubt, be gradually
reduced, and telegraphic communication
made almost as cheap as postal Nor can it
be long before our own Government viii be
obliged to adopt the popular system, and
enable its people to converse with each
other at any distance at moderate rates,
unrestrained by the exactions of private
monopolies; and still wider prospect of an
international telegraph is suggested, that
may spread cheap thought over the habitable
globe.

POE RY
4" TO MY WIFE. .

Some fifteen years ago cut the enclosed poem from
newspaper. 1t seems too beautiful to be lost, and
it has not been my good fortune to it published
elsewhere. If you think it deserves preservation
know of better place for it than the columns of
Erening Post. The tender pathos breathed in every
line is greatly enhanced by the circumstances under
which it was written. Young Brennan, the author
soon after taking to himself beautiful young wife
in his native Erin alone to this country to seek
his fortune, settled in New Orleans to practice law
and sent for his wife to join him. Attacked by rapid
consumption his physician informed him he could
not last but few days. The hopes of again seeing
his wife he closed his eyes to the world sustained
him for time, and in one Of those reyving moments
so common to the consumptve patient he wrote these
touching lines, his parting mcmento to her so fondy
loved. but whom he not privileged to see again.
1t will be observed that the sixth line of the third
stanza is unfortunately missing.
TO MY WIFE.
Come to me, dearest, I'm lonely without thee
Day time and nighttime I'm thinking about thee,
Nighttime and daytime in dreams behold thee
Unwelcome the waking which ceases to fold thee.
Come to me, darling, my sorrows to tighten,
Come in thy beauty to bless and to brighten,
Come in thy womanhood, meekly and lowly.
Come in thy loveliness queenly and holy!
Swallows will fit round the desolate ruin
Telling of Spring and its Joyous renewing;
And thoughts of thy love and its manifold treasure
Are clrcling my heart with promise of pleasure.
Oh, Spring of my spirit! oh, May of my bosom!
Shine out my soul till it brighten and blossom
The waste of my life has a root within it,
And thy foDdness alone to the sunshine can win it,
Figures that move like song through the even
Features lit up by reflex from heaven
Eyes like the skies of poor Erin, our mother,
Where shadow and sunshine are chasing each other;
Smiles coming seldom, but childlike and simple;
- H. taauss to the Savior, that even thy seeming
Is left to the exile to brighten his dreaming!
You have been glad when you knew was gladdened =
Dear, are you sad now to hear am saddened ?
Our hearts yer answer in tune and in time, love.
As octave to octave and rhyme unto rhyme, love-
cannot weep but your tears will be flowing
You cannot smile but my cheek will be glowing.
l would not die without you a my side, love-
You will not lnger when shall have died, love.
Come to me, DEAR ere die of my sorrow.
Rise on my gloom like the sun of tomorrow
Strong, swift and fond as the words which speak,
With song your lip and smile on your cheek,
love:
Come for my heart in yOur absence is weary
Haste for my spirit is sickened and dreary-
Come to the arms which alone should caress thee
Come to the heart which is throbbng to press thee

An Amusing MIstake.

One OF those amusing mishaps to which
the best regulated families are liable, en-
livened a usually peaceful dwelling on YER
non street, on Saturday night. 1t happens
that half dozen houses, side by side, on
that pleasant avenue, are precisely alike, so
far as external appearance is concerned.
What wonder, then, that q young married
man and his wife, returning rather late
from call, should have entered at the
wrong door? The gas light, dimly burning
in the hall, failed to disclose any unfamiliar
object to undeceive them, and while the
hero of our tale remained to lock the door,
which somehow didn't work just right the
wife went leisurely upstairs. What was
her amazement at seeing first light in her
room, where none had been left, and then,
through narrow space (the door being
slightly ajar,) evidences that her bed was
already occupied Scarcely knowing what
to do, she tapped on the door, whereupon
uprose in the bed the manly form of hand
some young clothier whose honeymoon is
scarcely yet ended. OF course thrilling
tableau Immediately ensued The lady, the
truth bursting ON her like flash of light
ming, sat down squarely on the floor, and
screamed "Oh, my God !" and shrieked SO
as to terrify the whole household; her
husband, unable to manage that confound-
ed lock, rushed up stairs to demand in
slant reparation for what he imagined was
an insult to his wife; the clothier inquired
in emphatic terms what the satanic majesty
was to pay, or words very much to that
effect, and an enterprising member Of the
household was about to make rush for
box 2 to summon the Fire Department,
when the truth began to glimmer on sew
eral excited intellects, satisfactory expla-
nations werc made, and the unconsciously
intruding couple retired in as good order
as could have been expected.

eg- Mr.. @. X. Jones, merchant of New
Orleans, was recently the victim of sad
case Of mistaken identity. The Chief of
Police of New Orleans received postal
card from a Western city dated several
weeks back, and which had evidently been
delayed on the road setting forth that one
Jones, described particularly as @. X.
Jones-had left the city in question some
months previous, and with him had disap-
peared the funds of the house for which he
was cashier "and," the card went on to
relate, "he is supposed to have gone to
your city, where it is said he is engaged in
business" The sagacious Chief went
without delay for MIR. @. X. Jones, the
New Orleans merchant, who was enticed
10 headquarters, and after strenuous re-
sistance handcuffed and hustled into po-
lice cell. The Chief then notified the
Western official that he had the defaulter,
and his surprise was only equaled by his
dismay when he received a reply setting
forth that me Jones was safe and sound in
Jail in Kansas, City, and had been there
for month. The innocent Jones was at
once released with profuse apologies, but
he has not felt happy since. The idea that
there could be another @. X. Jones in the
country continues to exert disheartening
influence upon him, and will not be COM
forted until the Legislature changes his
name.
