even without communication with the
Eastern portion of the province. The

more inclined to pillaging and petty thicv-

Matrimonial Mistnkes.

There seems to be strange at
mosphere of mistakes about the
wedding service. Even the print
ers join in this. An English edi-
tion of the prayer book came out
some time ago with the following
missplacement Of single letter:
"Wilt thou love, honor and cher
ish, etc., ETC., sand, forsaking all
others, keep thee only unto her SO
long as ye both shall like"-a
change from ''live" to ''like" well
suited to the changing habits Of
present matrimonial life! Another
very common mistake amoag ig-
norant people, who want the Epis-
copal service, is in the illiterative
sentence, "To have and to hold
from this day forward" Fknew a
clergyman who assures me he very
frequently has it. rendered, "To
have and to behold from this day
forward" Tho nervousness Of the
parties to be married very often
accounts for these mistakes. A
pretty well frightened groom on
one occasion, feeling that he must
be brave and speak up well when
the officiating clergyman asked any
questions, boldly replied 70 the
question addressed 70 the father Of
the bride, "Whe giveth this wo-
man to be married 10 this man -

Revolution I'm TeIegrnphy.

/
During the past two weeks, Mr..
Elisha Gray, of Chicago, Ill.,, has
been exhibiting the -Har-
monic apparatus in the Western
Union building, in this city. More
than a year ago we published an
article descriptive Of the curious
discovery, so far as IL had been de-
veloped at that time. Since then
Mr.. Gray has devoted the greater
part of his time to the perfection of
the apparatus, and has already sue
ceeded in producing some very re-
markable results. Mr.. Gray's ear
lier experiments disclosed the fact
that composition tones were as
easily transmitted over a wire as
single notes, and from this discov-
cry he developed system of null
tiple transmission, founded on this
principle. The apparatus was tested
experimentally on a wire between
Boston and New York, on last
Saturday, with very satisfactory
results. -Four separate commu-
nications were simultaneously
transmitted from Boston and cop
led from four saunders by a like
number Of receiving operators in
New York. In the main, the sig
nails were perfectly received on all
the instruments, the only apparent
effect being tendency to shorten
them somewhat, difficulty which
can doubtless be overcome by a
suitable modification of the trans
mitting apparatus.
The principle of the apparatus
is a very simple one. The depres-
sion of each key sets self-vibrat-
ing electrotome in operation, which
is adjusted or tuned to vibrate
at a certain rate, differing from
that of any of the others, when
under the influence of the elec-
tro magnet controlled by its
corresponding rules. These seve-
raj sets of electrical vibrations are
transmitted through the circuit
without Interference with each
other, in the same manner that al
most any number of different sets
of sound waves may pass through
the air without mingling. At q
receiving station, each instrument
is so adjusted as to respond to its
own special sets of waves or vibra-
tions without regard to others. BY
breaking and closing the circuit
upon the transmitting electrotome,
so as to form telegraphic signals,
these are transmitted and taken up
by the corresponding receiving
apparatus.
1t is not easy to fix a limit to the
number of different communica-
tions that may be carried over the
the same wire simultaneously, eith-
in the same or opposite directions.
The marked success which attended
the orperation of the principle
through 24O miles of line, on Satur-
day, seems to promise results in
the future of the greatest value

To-Day.
Only from day to day
The life of n wise man runs
What matter II seasons far away
Have gloom or have double suns !
To climb the unreal path,
We loose the roadway here,
We swim rivers of wrath,
And tunnel the hills Of fear.
Our feet on the torrents brink,
Our eyes on the elou | a'ar,
We ar the things we think,
Instead Of the thirgs tlat are.
Like tide our work shoull rise,
Each later wave the best
Tomorrow forever flies,
To-day is the special test,
Like a sawyers work is life
The present makes the flaw,
And the only field for strife
Is the inch before the saw.
