LAYING the Cable.


The "Great Eastern" went ahead at
the rate of five nautical miles an
hour, and the cable passed smoothly
overheard. Messages were sent to
England and answers received. The
weather was bright, and all hands
were cheerful. On the third day af-
ter the splicing" OF the shore end
with the main cable, that part of the
ocean was reached where the water
suddenly increases in depth from two
hundred and ten fathoms to two
thousand and fifty. One Of the ear
ier cables broke at this place and
was lost forever. The electricians
and engineers watched for it with
anxious eyes. 1t was reached and
passed. The black cord still travelled
through the wheels unbroken, and
the test applied by the galvanometer
proved the insulation to be perfect.
The days wore away without mishap
until the evening OF July IL, when the
sound of the gong filed all hearts
with a sickening fear.
The rain was falling In torrents and
patterlng on the heavy oil-skin cloth
ing OF the watchers. The wind blew
in chilly gusts, and the sea broke l.;
white crests or foam. A dense ard
pitchy cloud issued from the smoke
stacks. The vessel advanced in utter
darkness. A few lights were moving
about, and shadows fell hither and
thither as one Of the hands carried
lantern along the sloppy deck The
testingroom was occupied by an
electrician, who was quietly working
with his magical instrument, and the
cable could be heard winding over
the wheels astern, as the tinkling OF
little bell on the @drum" recorded its
progress.
The electrician rose from his seat
suddenly, and struck the alarm. The
next instant each person pn board
knew that an accident had happened.
The engines were stopped and re-
versed within two minutes. Blue
lights were burned on the paddle
boxes, and showed knot In the cable
as it lay in the trough. W
1t is very intricate knot that an
old sailor cannot unite. and the old
sailors on the Great Eastern twisted
and untwisted coil after coil until
they succeeded in untying this one.
The Insulation remained perfect, aud
in few hours all was right again.
The accident caused much i'll forebo-
ding, however, as it showed how
slight an occurrence might bring the
expedition to a disastrous end.
On July q. after voyage OF fifteen
days, the Great Eastern finished ner
work, and her part Of the cable was
attached to the American shore-end
which had been laid by another ves-
sel-St. Nicholas.

at Work, that topical preaching is re.
sponsible for the short pastorates
which are now SO common in the
United States. He reasons out the
process thus: "When one invariably
takes separate texts, the probability
is these will run in the same direc-
ton and sound one note. Every
preacher has his idiosyncrasies, and
these will come out in his selection Of
his themes, so that in a very short
time he will preach himself out. He
will ring the changes on few topics,
until after time the people will
grow weary both Of him and of them"

We asked him. as we dropped our pen,

Is somebody's mother thinking,
That somebody's boy gets tight, -
While somebody's boy If drinking
Somewhere or other tonight?
Who is that handsome fellow, 81
The handsomest face we met,
Who comes home late and so mellow
He can scarcely keep his feet'
Who that somebody reeling
First from the left to the right,
With empty pockets, yet feeling
As rich as Cresus Tonight
All. pavements have grown unsteady;
They wave like a wind-blowl sheet,
And have interefered already
With somebody's drunken feet
Hell wake tomorrow, its patent
And he'll come down stairs all right,
And look almost like he hadn't
Been ont on " tare last night. &
And somebody's mother and sister.
When told that brother gets "tighf,"
Are almost inclined to blister
Your cheeks with their hands outright
But somebody's sins are wearing
The jewel of life away;
And somebody's boy, wayfaring.

Obituary..


lin memory of the deceased wife and son G
Abraham Baker, of North township, by Will
Logan:l
Dear friends your griefs arc not unknown,
To him who reigns on high
He knows the seeds of death are sown,
And we are born to di..
A wife's dear form no more appears,
mothers voice has fled;
A son has left this vale of tears:
A brother, too, is dead.
No troublous dreams of this worlds cares,
Dis turb their peaceful rest;
We trust those great rewards TO share;
In store for all the hlest.
The dearest ties on earth gone,
Wen hear no more their Voice;
Till He, who calls them from the tomb,
Bids your sad hearts rejoice.
Prepare yourselves your friends to meet,
Beyond this world of woe;
Go humbly to the saviors' feet;
Where pardon freely flows.
Prepare yourselves, your Lord to meet;
And loved ones gone before;
That you may walk the golden streets,
And live forever more.
o, hasten Lord that glorious day,
When Christ, our life appears;
When God, himself shall dwell with us,
And wipe away our tears.
