We Shall be Happy Yet.

Fear not beloved, though clouds may lower,
When rainbow visions melt AWAY,
Faiths molly star has -tillu power
That may the deepest midnight sway.
Fear na take prophets tone,
Our love can neither wune nor set,
My heart grows strong in trust-minc own,
We shall be happy yet
What though long anxious days have passed
Since thi, true heart was vowed To thine,
There comes for Us IL light At last,
Whose beam upon our path shall shine,
We who have loved midst doubts and fears,
Yet never with one hours regret,
There comes n JOY togild our tears
We shall be happy yet!
Aye, by the wandering birds, that find
home beyond the mountain wave,
Ihnugh many wave and storm combined
To bow them to an ocean grave
BY summer suns that brightly rise,
Though crst in mOuuful tears they set,
Bynll loves hopeful prophecies,
We shall be happy yet

THE HUMAN VOICE BY TELEGRAPH
A novel adaptation of telegraphy has
been developed in Boston. 1t is u new
ly discovered process of telephony, or of
sending the voice or other sound great
distance, invented by Graham Bell, a
natualized American OF Scottish birth.
In experiments mentioned by Boston
Journals, telephones Of rubber OF mem
branouS character were placed at the ex-
tTemities Of common outdoor tele-
graph wire in Boston and Cambridge,
two miles apart, when artculate CONVEX
saton took place through the wire, the
sound being communicated quite loud
and intelligihly, the words being as
clearly heard at the distance oftwo miles
as if spoken through speaking tube.
A satirical writer IN a Cincinnati paper,
who is always making some ludicrous re.
mark about the loud voice OF the ex Gov.
ernor of his State, says that "if the hu-
man voice is thus transmitted by tele-
graph, Bill Allen should be employed as

The Wisconsin Baptists, in their late
State Convention, recommended for weak
churches the adoption of the Methodist
Circuit system. The report adopted says :
1t is inexpedient to attempt to supply
each small church with an individual
pastor, and that, therefore, two, three, or
even more, churches should unite in sup
porting one person, according as the
strength and reliable location of these
churches may require"

value was paid, will be recognized and set

GIANTS IN THE LAND.-There has been
somewhat a decline in the matter Of
marvels and monstrosities this year, but
they have commenced to appear-seen
ingly as concomitants of the equinoctial
storm. There has been no sea serpent of
fered since June, but there has been q
stone man dug up in Colorado seven feet
five inches high, with only three-inch
stub of tail-presumably to aid Mr.. Oar
wins theory of man and monkeys, with the
addition to the stone man of a prehensile
toe of great length. And the Keely motor
is protruding itself at great length at Phil.
adelphia, but seeming to be only proof OF
the pressure of the water-works at that
city. Next comes the devil-ish from New
founland, forty feet long and ever so broad,
with ten arms, each as thick as some mems
legs, and with wonderful and prehensile
power.

Chicken-rearing by machinery has reached
its last and most glorious period-it even
supplies an artificial mother hen for the
guiIeless chicken to brood under at night
and fly to in moments of peril during the
day. The hyiromerc, as it is called, is a
French invention, and strikingly resembles
a real hen in all but one particular ::
beneath its downy breast, instead of warm
heart, there is only warm water. Thus,
one after another, by the chicken-hatching
machine, by the chioken-food- examining
machine, and now by the heartless hydro
mere. are the innocent joys of chickenhood
vanishing.

FAILURE OF AN OLD FIRM.-The Phila-
delphia Times announces the failure of the
paper manufacturing house of Charles
Magarge & Co., of that city. The house
had extensive dealings all over the country,
and was the oldest paper manufacturing

the assets will cover the liabilities.
