In matters Of great concern, aud which
must be done, there is No surer argument
Of weak mind than ilresnlution; to be
undetermined where the case is so plain,
and the necessity SO urgent. To be always
intending to lead new llte, but never TO
find time to set about it; this is as if mar
should put of eating, and drinking, AID
sleeping, from one day and night to an.
other, till he is starved and Destroyed

An Original Idea.

A Michigan avenue saloon-keeper whose
place has soe c;eancd out two or three
times 10y roughs has got things fixed to
his liking now. There is trap door ten
feet square in front of the bar, worked by
a spring, and when rough strikes the
counter and begins to raise row he is
dropped into the cellar. A pail of hot
water is flung over him BY the same ma
chincry, and a hickory club, worked by
steam, strikes him ninety.e,ght times q
minute. When the fellow finally gets

VOW upon his lips to become one of the

There is this difference between those
two temporal blessings-heallh aud money
money is the most enyied, but the least
enjoyed; health is the most enjoyed, but
the least envicd; and this superiority Of
the latter is still obvious when We reflect
tha: the poorest man would not part with
health for money, but that the riches
would gladly part with all their money

is that Of a trav weller, who on his

Of many ways, aid he knows not with
any assurance which of them leads
to hrs resting place. The place which
he seeks is most ancient city, the
wav TO which has been traversed in

old paths than one. The broad way
that leadeth to destruction is as old
as he straight road tibet leadeth unto
life, and far better frequented. 1t is.
ther ef0re, necessary 10 seek not only
the old path, but the good way. AL
though every old way may not be
good, the good way is cartainly old;
if, theref IRE, the traveller finds and

good, he or she is safe, and without
fail shall reach home and find rest
for the SOUL As this last express

the mind is carried forward to our
Savionr's invitation, Come unto me,

and never sill be found, any way of

Hin And this is the old way. Tie
Apostle, indeed, calls it "a new and
living way, "a having then received
new and full illustration. Yet it is Il
way as old as the Fall; and, in the
purpose and forcknowIedge of God,
older than the Creation. In these

more fully opened mp. 1t is there

Districts by rousing mujorities, and
now, for tho first time since tho war.
will the voice OF true South Carolina
be heard in tho halls OF Cougro>s. At
different times Reed, Simpson and
McKissick were elected and ruled out
by the Republican majority, butevcn
a Republican Congress would not
have tho audacity to refuse their seats
TO Aiken and Evins. They arc liberal
and progressive Democrats, in the
prime Of life. Both are practical men,
and the labors of Col. Aiken in the
cause of Agricultural Reform have
been OF inestimable value to the State.
Col. Evins is an accomplished law
yer, and Aiken and Evins will mako
q strong team in Congress next ses-
sion. Sw"ils and Rainey will con-
tinue to be mere ciphers. Cain may
go to the Congaree Congress where

The wonders Of telegraphy have
not yet been exhausted. The old
rnvstics who conceived it to be pos
eihle tor friend to hold immediate
intercourse with friend whilst at dis
tRnces remote from each other. cunld
they reappear upon earth, would find
that their fanciful imagining was
completely realized when science
summoned to mans uses the electric
current, and made it the servant Of
lis will. 'Rut even Morse never ima~
gin ed it possible that two musical in
strumente, placed miles apart, when
brought into connection with an
electric wire could be made to play
the same tune, or hat person writ
ing at one end of wire could have a
fac simile OF bis manuscript produced
at the other end Of it. Yet these
things have been done. And now
we have, as the latest triumph of
inventive genius, audible speech by
telegraph. At Boston, q few days
ago, conversation by word Of mouth
between two persons--one in an OF
flee i'll that city ard the other in a
factory at Cambridge, two miles Fl
wac carried on over telegraph
wire. a record Of the conversation
was kept at both ends of tie wire,
and is published in the newspapers.
a comparison of the records shows
that, with the exception of two OF
three words that tie ear of the lis
tener failed to catch correctly, the
questions and answers weRe aeon
rately transmitted. At first rhe
sounds are said to have been faint
and indistinct, but became suddenly
quite lound and Ineligible, ard su
continued as long as the session last
cd. The invention that adds articu-
late speech to the other wonders II
selegraphy ID difficult to describe, but
the author OF it is Professor A. Gra-
ham Bell
