EFFIE CAMPBELL
Pretty Effie Campbell
Came to me one day ;
Eyes as bright as sunbeams,
Cheeks with blushes gay.
"I'm so happy, cousin,
Walter told me all,
In the carriage, coming
From the country ball."
"Have a care, Miss Effie—
Look before you leap;
Men are fickle, Effie,—
Better wait than weep."
"How you're always preaching
Love to be a crime ;
And a kiss perdition,
Surly Peter Syme."
"Fear these first love whispers,
Thrilling, sweet and strange,
Eyes well wander, Effie,
And the fancy change."
6 ‘.1 can trust him, cousin,
With a glad repose;
Heaven is won by trusting,—
Doubt brings half our woes."
"Are you certain, Effie,
Love will not decay
When your step is slower,
And your hair grows gray ;
"And those eyes, so bonnie,
Look less bright than now ;
And the patron Caution
Saddens cheek and brow!"
"Love may deepen, Peter,
But it will not die;
Beat its pulse will steadier,
If not quite so high.
"Smoother run the rivers,
As they reach the sea,
Calm'd the noisy plunges—
Still'd the shallow glee.
"True love knows no changing
From the dream of youth;
Or, if changed, 'tis better—
'Tis the. dream made truth.
"Love that once pined blindly,
Tenderly reveres,
And the eyes see clearer
That have look'd through tears
"Beautiful, forever,
The grief-softened tread ;
And the time-touched glances,
And the dear gray head.
"The pathetic paleness,
And the lines of care ;
Memory's consecration
Makes men always fair
"Lips that came close creeping,
Sweet low love to speak,
Kissing, oh! so softly,
Weary temples weak.
' , Eyes that look'd suck pity—
Poor, wild eyes above;
Can these lose their beauty
For the souls that love?
"But I see you're laughing,
As you always do,
When my speech gets earnest—
As my heart throbs through.
"Weak you think us women,—
Slaves of impulse, vain;
But our heart is oftimes
Truer than your brain.
"You're our subjects, sceptic,
Wrangle as you will ;
Mothers' eyes and bosoms
Mould the children still.
"Tale of woman's clamor—
Ms the oldest known;
Better doom with woman
Than an Eden lone.
"We shall always snare you,
Struggle as you may;
I shall see you, cousin,
Deep in love, one day."
"Effie !"—but she stopped me
With a nod and smile,
Calling,as she curtsey'd,
In her saucy style,
'By-by, Master Peter—
Take a wife in time,
And she'll make You wiser,
Simple Peter Syme."
THROUGH THE SNOW.
Mrs. Tubbs--fifty, fat and frosty, dressed
in black satin and flowery cap—comes
from her housekeeping room (where she
has been consulting Betty, her cook) into
the study of Mr. Tubbs, her husband, who,
up later than his amiable spouse, break
fasts leisurely, and reads his letters grimly,
on this snowy Christmas morning. He is
by no means a prepossessing-looking gen
tleman, though his coat is superfine and
hie waistcoat large.
'l've ordered _Betty,' says Mrs. Tubbs,
sinking into-a chair, to make the fellow a
small suet-dumpling—no plums or currants
in it, Dr. Tubbs ; and send it with a
rasher of bacon. The fat bacon, Dr.
Tubbs ; the ham-like lean I keep for the
parlor ; for if ushers will stop during the
holidays where they ain't wanted, they
must take the consequences.'
Of course, my dear,' answers Tubbs,
pompously, and at the same time winking
terribly (for he has a visional defect which
always keeps his eyelids moving.) Your
remark is most judicious. Indeed, if the
truth be spoken, even this prudential ar
rangement will be unnecessary ; for I
think of giving Gray notice at once, and
getting rid of him this very morning.—
For—for—for—this getting on-rapid sys
tem of his will never do. If it continues,
Mrs. Tubbs, 'we shall soon cease to be
master and mistress of Goshen House;
for here's a letter from the Baileys' father,
praising his boy's rapid progress in arith
metic. Here another from Wiggett's
uncle, to say. that Tom's general advance
is excellent; and to crown all, here's a
third letter, from the Bev. Dr. Pike,
canon of Diddlebury Cathedral, to say
that his grandsons' progress in the classics
is remarkable, (you'll remember, my dear,
that there are four of these lads !) and
that they have learnt as much Greek and
Latin in the half as at some schools they
would have done in three years. Mind
this, my dear! Now of course boys get
ting along on this way will soon leave.—
Instead of having six years out of 'em
apiece, two will be enough under such a
forcing plan. There were the Fieldings,
too ; why did they leave ? Why, that
they coald draw trees well when they
should have been still in lines and cubes.
I've told Gray of all this, times and often ;
but, but,' adds Dr. Tubbs, with pathetic
dignity, he .minds me no more than those
boys who call me Old Winker.' He talks
about moral honesty' and trash of that
sort, instead of paying attention to my
behests: So as this is the case—and it
don't do to let bbys'feducation get on like
a steam-engine—l'll dismiss him, and—
, and—this very morning. True, I must
give some ecinivalent, as our arrangement
was a month's notice on either side, and
gratis board and lodging during the win
ter vacation. But better a 'lost' pound
than this evil should make further head.'
A pound ! We shall save double that
in the fellow's board. Why ! it wants yet
five weeks to the end of the vacation, and
this:--say- at ten shilling a week—will be
tWo - poundS ten. Go and do it at once,
Dr Tebbe whilst I -dress for elatroh.—
And make haste ; we can then drive off,
and then be spared the nonsense of good
byes.' On my way up stairs, doctor, I
shall countermand the suet dumpling.'
Not without some little hesitation when
his wife's eye is on him—for his con
science, seared as it is, points how base his
conduct is to one like Robert Gray—Dr.
Tubbs draws certain sovereigns and shill
ings from his private drawer, and goes
forth to the school-room, where, by a most
economical scrap of fire, sits the gentle
manly usher. His slippered feet are on
the hob, a little pocket lEschylus in his
hand, a short pipe in his mouth; behind
him lies the wide, high school-room, beyond
that the bare ,windows and the snowy
Yorkshire landscape of wooded heights and
barren moors.
Faugh !_ smoke—smelling like tavern !'
are Dr. Tubbs' introductory words ; and
then, taking a distant chair, he proceeds
to business. It is soon effected—as most
base things are—and to his infinite but
secret chagrin; for he expected demur
and entreaty. His usher's manner ex
presses a sense of relief and release. True,
were the pompons pedagogue a reader of
human hearts, he might have detected one
vibration of desolate despair cross, the
clear, bright, manly eye when the first
words of dismissal came ; but it is gone
like an electric flash, and he sees nothitig
before him but the serenity of self-reliant
manhood. Hurrying over his gruff adieu,
pocketing his receipt, and basely oblivious
of all Gray's noble efforts to increase his
school, which, when he came a year ago
was sinking to the verge of ruin, the pom
pous and shallow pedagogue makes his
exit, to go to church--a hollow convention
alist, not a sincere worshipper.
Resolute and brief as young men are,
Gray gathers up his few books from off the
school-room shelves, hastens up stairs,
packs his portmanteau, and directs it to
the nearest railway station, puts the rest
of his things in a knapsack ; and then
going down stairs he scatters a few shillings
amongst the servants, visits the old yard
dog in his kennel, gives one look around
the playground where he has passed so
many sad and weary hours, and then goes
his way, his knapsack on his shoulder, a
good oaken stick in his hand. There are
same worthy souls to speak to in this
primitive Yorkshire village—the parish
-clerk, the cobler, the carrier; then he
hurries onward with a brisk step towards
the moors, which lie so high and far away ;
they must be crossed to reach the railway
by which he intended to go.
Turning by-and-by out of the beaten
highway, he proceeds down a lane with
high banks and hedge-rows on either side.
It lies deep in snow, though traversed by
recent wheels, and winds away presently
towards .woodland and river scenery of
exquisite beauty—though wreathed in
snow and crisped by frost. Here is a
cottage, old-fashioned and substantial, an
exquisite garden around it, and otothed
with a glowing pyracanthus. The berries
are massed in coronals ; the leaves lie
around in beds of richest green. But
the windows—at least towards the lane—
are shuttered ; no one seems keeping
Christmas within.
But as Robert Gray leans upon the
paling looking towards a little window
that now is bowery with scarlet and green
—in summer with the myriad waxen trum
pets of the yellow jasmine—a man plods
by and touches his hat.
If yer a wanting Mr. Watson, sir,' he
says, you won't find him at home to-day.
Him and the missis be gone to see their
youngest son. Old Tab the maid's mind
ing the house ; but she's up-stairs dressing
I dussay now.'
Well, Mr. Watson deserves a holiday.
Gone for long
No ; I reckon they'll be home to-mor
row. Miss Marrianna, the daughter, ain't
wi"em. She's gone to Master Fielding's,
across the moors, to keep holiday wi' the
children. She's a particular favorite there
a sort o' cousin to th' missis.'
So saying, Hodge again touches his hat,
and proceeds.
When the honest fellow is out of sight,
Gray opens the gate gently, and steals in.
Then from the before-mentioned bowery
window he cuts a spray of pyracanthus
with his pocket-knife, and coming forth
again, hurries away like one guilty of a
serious sin. When he is far out of sight
of the cottage, on his path again to the
highway, he looks at it long and tenderly,
and then opening his knapsack, lays it
within. This shall go with him far and
far away ; it grew about her bowery win
dow—she whom he has met once or twice
in country homes—she whom he has
spoken to a few times—she whom he has
looked upon and loved.
Like a man who has accomplished a
mission, he now walks steadily onward,
regains the highway, and begins the ascent
to the moors—to the lower ones, which die
at the base of the higher and more remote.
Deeper became the snow, wilder the scene,
neither man nor bird nor beaSt giving life
to the whitened waste. By-and-by he
comes to a few solitary homesteads, and
beyond these to a lonely grave-yard, where
the dead sleep eternally amidst the great
hush of nature ; he must pause a moment,
for here lies a poor school-boy who died of
cold and fever. Gray nursed him, Gray
loved him, Gray cannot turn away—per
haps forever—without saying farewell to
the insentient dust.
As he diverges to the gate of entrance
into this lone - burial.ground, a middle-aged
gentleman comes towards it, from the rear
of the small thatched church, and striving
to undo the latch, cannot; his fingers may
be cold. He may have entered the grave
yard by some other path. For days, pos
sibly;. there has been no passer in. Be
this as it may, the gentleman cannot make
egress. Gray hurries forward, and from
his side undoes the latch.
Thank you,' says the gentleman, rais
ing his hat, a courtesy is always pleasant,
even on a lonely Yorkshire moor. I thank
you—a happy Christmas—a good day.'--
He is a handsome, thoughtful man of mid
dle life; his hair just touched with grey,
his manner prompt, his words court, like
one whose dealings are many, with men
and the world. Perhaps he is a Yorkshire
manufacturer—who knows ?—many have
factories in the hollows of these moors—
rich, exact, earnest men—gathering whole
populations round them, and making steam
their willing slave.
When the'stranger is out of sight Gray
passes in, and following •the footsteps in
the snow, they lead him to a simple grave
stone at the rear of the church, off which
the, sneWhiiis been recently brushed ;, on
it in recorded the death of two old persons

LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 15, 1860.
—man and wife—who died some five years I
before. There names were Fielding ;
their married life a long one, considering
the years they lived.
I thought as much,' says Gray to him
self, That gentleman was Mr. Fielding—
the rich spinner—and this the grave of
his father and mother. I have heard that
ho was as noble a son as he is a noble
father, husband, master and man. Yes !
I thought there was a likeness in his face
to the boys that came to Tubb's, to be
taught drawing, half a year ago. How
often does the prosaic hide the depths of a
poetic nature ! This is his visit to his
parents grave, on the anniversary of tbo
death ; and who knows of what worth such
visitation and self-communion may be 1—
The virtues of a year may be sown thus
in a single hour !'
Gray passes on to• the schoolboy's soli
tary grave. No reverent feet have visited
it—no reverent hands have scraped off the
dazzling snow. The marks where the
little redbreasts have hopped across it are
plainly visible, and yet it is not solitary;
the wind sings a dirge, the snow presses
downily, and at night the moonlight sweeps
over it and silvers it with glory. Under
the arch of heaven no single thing but
what has some hymn sung to it—some
tears wept over it by nature !
The poor usher resumes his walk'pres
ently, for he has far to go. The cold is
benumbing, the snow deeper, yet he pres
ses on; and he stops to find a small flask
in the pocket of his outer coat; from this
he sips a drop of brandy, (it holds but
very little) and then plods on. The day
begins to fade—the distance is yet consid
erable—he grows anxious.
At length the moor dips downward into
the valley, and beyond this is the higher,
bleaker, lonelier moor, across which lies
the station he wishes to" reach; through
the valley sweeps a vast water-power, and
here stands the wondrous mill, in which
daily work three thousand people, employed
by John Fielding, the great cotton lord.
But the mighty giant of spindle and mule
sleeps to-day, the fires are low, and labor
rests her hands ! Some miles from the mill
the mansion of the cotton lord stands. cm
bosomed in woods, and here at the foot of ,
the fell is a cluster of cottages. -
Descending to one of these, he asks a
woman standing at a door the nearest way
to the opposite fell.
Why, cross the beck by the bridge,
and take the road before thee. But eh,
sir ! it's a coming on a wild night for the
moors ; and now I'm thinking, if you go
by Graystones—Mr. Fielding's park anem
there—you'd find it more sheltered-like,
and a bit nigher still. You can't wigs the
way if ye keep this side the beck to the
mill ; then cross it, and a bit beyond get
into the park by a stile ; the path then 'll
take you by Grayatone-pool—a mighty
piece of water, all frozen over now—and
towards the end leaps up the way to the
moors. You can't miss it, though it's
coming on a wild night, I fear.'
Gray hurries on, passes the mill, the
mill-hands' cottages—almost all of them
tenantless to-day—finds his way to the
pool, and so to its furthest side nearest the
moor. As he approaches the road leading
thereto, he sees a man dressed as a servant,
standing on the bank as though attending
three or four boys, who were skating up
and down the pool. They are all of them
fine, athletic lads, and Gray knows them to
be his old drawing pupils, the Fieldings.
Though he has no intention of approach
ing them, for they are skating some dis
tance from where he has to turn off, he
cannot refrain from staying a moment to
watch them. As he does so, a bell at the
hall rings loud - and clear; its echoes are
taken up in the solemn moors, and re
echoed back again.
Gentlemen,' calls the servant, there
is the first dinner-table; you had better
return now.'
They prepare as it seems to obey, by
skating towards the shore ; and Gray turns
away, not willing to be recognized and
detained, for he feels desolate and low in
heart. For him no welcoming feast is
spread, no ear listens for him, no, eye
expects him. Snow before him, snow
behind him—a sad and solemn Christmas
day to him ! Yet the snows Of winter hide
the buds of spring, and out of our sorrows
our truest joys are oftenest born.
He has turned his face and his steps
away from the pool towards the moor,
when a crash, followed by awful cries,
met his ears. Looking round, hurrying
towards the pool, he sees that the tallest
youth, in skating towards the shore,
grounded dangerous ice; cracked, and he
fell through: He is now struggling in
the water—his head above it, his hands
battling with the ice ; whilst•his brothers,
hastening to the rescue, seem in peril too.
the poor demented servant—a coward,
perhaps, by nature—stands ou the shore,
wringing his hands and shouting.
At a dozen athletic bounds Gray has
reached the spot. In another moment he
has thrown off his coat, hat and knapsack.
'Stephen ! Walter ! Falkland !' he calls ;
don't attempt that ; come to Harry's
rescue. Even whilst he speaks he dashes
his - way across the ice, goes through it, is
in the pool ; not a minute too soon—the
lad is spent, and, benumbed with cold, is
sinking.
A brave heart, Harry—a hand here—
there, now my arm's around you—bear up.
I'm Gray, your old - drawing.master.'
Holding the lad's head above water,
swimming dexterously, battling with the
ice, in an axious moment or two he has
reached the shore. Having heeded Gray's
warning, the other boys are safe, too, and
now crowd round.
Harry is not much the worse, said
Gray, kindly, as the spent and benumbed
lad leans on him and begins to recover.
A near chance; but a drop of brandy,
with a run home and a warm bath, will set
him all right. Walter, feel in my coat
pocket, you'll find my brandy flask ; it
holds but a drop, but it'll do good.' So
saying, when the flask is found, Gray
makes Harry take what it holds, and then
hurries him off home.
g But you'll come, Gray says Stephen,
who is the next eldest to Harry, 4 papa
will never forgive us, if you don't come,
after having saved us our dear Harry.
We always liked you Gray, and were
talking of you this very morning. Come
on ; you're dripping like a dog.'
I Thank you ; I want to be at sta
tion by 8 o,clook to-night, and at Leeds
to-morrow.; so I can't. I have dry under
garmeatsin my knapsack here, which I
can change in that . fodder shed yonder.
Good-bye, I: want to cross the moor before
•
it is to late.
g The moor, Gray ! Why, you'll have a
hard fight with the snow. Oar shepherds
report it as very'deep. Bat why are you
tied for a few hours'?"
I have left Tubbs ; I taught too fast
for him ; but if I reach Leeds by to-morrow
I may get a tutorship ; for there was an
advertisement relating to one in the last
paper. So run home, Stephen; I'll write
to you thence.'
Gray does not stay for any reply ;
but, seizing his - coat and knapsack, hur
ries to the distant shed; here he changes
his shoes and nether garments, and to get
warm, sets off on a rim; as soon as he has
dressed and swung his knapsack on. Up
the snowy road, by the moorland crags,
on to the moor itself—a wide, wild waste
of whitened desolation.
• Yet some trafio through the day marks
the road sufficiently for it to be easy to
find, whilst light lasts and the snow holds
off ;so he keeps on at rapid pate ; for
the whole distance now to traverse is bat
some six miles, and he is not without hope
that it will be easily effected. But pre
sently the snow drifts get deeper, and
baffle him more and more at every step.
The clOude oharged with snow bring day
saddenly.to a close ; and at last it begins
to snow heavily, as though the clouds had
burst. Still he keeps his way, not with
out hope. Bat when the road becomes
more and more indistiot, when the snow
comes down heavier and heavier still, when
the rising wind whirls it round and round,
when the cold becomes so intense as to
benumb him, even whilst he is moving
and regrets his folly in having slighted
the kindly invitation to Mr. Fielding's
house. But Gray is a proud man, he has
had the birth and education of a gentle
man, and he cannot go fawning anywhere
uninvited, like a beggar.
At last, hopeless of regaining the track,
thoroughly spent, and growing drowsy, he
sits down on a crag ; the storm whirling
round him and freezing his blood. Then
he closes his eyes, lost in that dreamy
enthanasia which precedes death from
cold. From this he is aroused by some
thing warm and wet touching his hand—
something lying heavily on his knee.—
Reluctantly—almost with difficulty—he
asserts sufficient will and volition to open
his eyes ; and then he sees a shepherd's
dog rests its paws upon his, knees and
licks his hands. At the same moment a
loud halloa is heard. With still more
difficulty than he has opened his eyes, he
makes a faint reply, for he is conscious
the rescue is at hand. It is scarcely
uttered before a shepherd casts back the
binding snow and stands beside him.
g If you please, sir, you must come with
us. As soon as he heard of the matter,
Mr. Fielding sent me and another off, with
a horse and the dogs, on the moor after
you; for no one, he knew, could live out
such a night.
But Gray can only speak. So the
shepherds assist ; now coming up with the
horse, they place him on it, give him some
whisky they have with them, and one
mounting behind, so as to hold the be
numbed gentleman, the other leads the
way back to Graystones. But the way is
hard to find, the snow so blinds and baffles
them, so lies in monstrous drifts, and the
cold so benumbing ; yet through this
desolate waste they get at last, and by 8
o'clock reach the Hall.
There, in the wide porch, a whole, group
of sympathizing friends welcome the poor
gentleman., He cannot talk much, but he
replies to the pressure of their warm and
kindly words.
There, take my arm. and lean on me,'
says the same gentleman to whom Gray
opened the gate of the little, lonely burial
ground this very morn ; you have twice
served me to-day, once in a manner irre
payable , so r let me serve in turn' Thus
saying, Gray is led up stairs to a chamber,
where a warm bath and dry clothes await
him. Cherished and refreshed he lies
down on a sofa, and has soup and wine
and other restoratives. These taken he
sinks into a sleep. When he awakes it is
10 o'clock or more ; yet he finds Mr.
Fielding seated beside him. •
God ever love and bless you, sir,' he
says, taking Gray's hand ; for to you I
owe the life of my _priceless boy. I can
never repay you, for they have told me
all—your bravery, your goodness—every
thing. But you must not leave us, Mr.
Gray, for a long time. It was I who
advertised in the last Leeds newspaper ;
for my boys want a master, and you were
the one I thought of, and should have
liked ; but I did not know that you were
leaVing that mean, pompous, shallow hy
pocrite, Tubbs. ake your mind happy,
sir ; you have a home tere ; to-morrow we
will talk of money affairs ; but be sure,
even when your office ends, you shall find
me a sincere friend. Now, do you think
you are strong enough to come down and
see the Christmas tree, and Sir Roger de
Coverley danced 1 Mrs. Fielding and all
my people want to thank you; too.'
Oh ! yes, he is strong enough ; for shall
he not see the pretty Marianna, the idol
of his dreams.
So they go down arm-in-arm together,
and Mrs. Fielding and all the guests are
earnest and warm in saying grateful and
kindly words; and there is Marianna, a
little tremulous and timid; and still more
so, when Gray gives her off the Christmas
tree a small needle book, on which is fine
ly wrought— , Love me and I'll love thee.
Gray sits down beside one of the glow
ing fires, whilst they dance Sir Roger de
Coverley. But by-and-by she leaves the
dance and sits down beside him.
I was so sorry for yon, Mr. Gray,' she
says, thinking of you on the. bleak
moor.'
Were you that is good news, Mari
anna. Before•l ascended the moor I had
had a long walk. I had been past a cer
tain cottage, aild cat off a spray of its
ruddy pyracanthus ; it is now up-stairs in
my wallet. Bat lam going to stay here
as tutor. It is a piece of richer fortune
than I thought of, particularly if the, little
one, when face I first saw beside those
cottage window-panes, is glad.'
She does not answer, but lays her hand
in his, (all the rest of the folks are mad,
dancing Sir Roger) and looks up with tear
dimmed eyes in his.
- So he , came •thiongh the snow ; for this
and this he ie no longer desolate, but
richly loved.

Telegraphic itnecdote.
Some ten'Years or more ago, there was
upon the New York and Washington tele
graph line, at the Philadelphia station, an
operator named Thayer, who, besides being
an adept at the business, was a gentleman
of culture and wit, and exceedingly fond
of a joke, no matter at whose expense. At
the New York terminus of the line there
was, upon the contrary, a steady, matter
of-fact sort of man, who was no apprecia
tor of jokes, and never practiced them.
The President of the line was Hon. B. B.
French, for many years Clerk of the
House of Representatives at Washington,
a wit, poet and humorist, andsf course
appreciated humor wherever Ne came
across it.
Thayer took it into his head one day to
send a dispatch to some fictitious name in
New York, for the purpose of enjoying a
laugh at the expense of the operator at
New YOrk. Accordingly he composed
and forwarded the following :
• Philadelphia,./Ipril 1, 1846.
To Mr. Jones, NeW York : Send me
ten dollars at once, so that I can get my
clothes. (Signed)
13 words, collect 34 de.'
The operator at New York, not suspect
ing any joke, asked the Philadelphia
operator for the address.
The Phiradelphia operator replied that
the young lady didn't leave any ;' and
asked him to look in the directory for it.
The New York operator replied that he
had already done so, but that as there
were over fifty Joneses in the directory,
he was at a loss to know which one to send
it to.
'lf that is the case,' says Thayer, you
had better send a copy to each of them,
and charge 34 cents apiece.'
The New York operator did so, and I
will give the result of the arrangement in
the words of the President, Mr. French,
from whom, a few days after this affair,
Mr. Thayer received the following letter :
New York, .dpril 6, 1846.
Mr. Thayer—Sir : A few days since
you sent a dispatch, purporting to come
from one Julia, addressed to Mr. Jones,
New York. The New York operator In
formed you that he desired an address, as
there were upwards of fifty Joneses in
the directory, and he was at a loss to
know which one of them it was designed
for. You replied that in that case he must
send a copy to every one of them, and
charge upon each ; and the operator at
New York in the innocence of his heart
did so. Some twenty of the Joneses paid
for their despatches, but there was one sent
to the residence of an elderly merchant by
that name, who being away from home
when it arrived, it was opened by his wife',
and was the occasion of a very unpleasant
domestic scene. Mr. Jones has been to
see me in relation to the matter, and
threatens to sue the company for damages
—taking the thing very much to heart.
Now this is all very funny, and a good
joke, and I have laughed at it as heartily
as anybody ; but you had not better try
it again, or any of the rest of the opera
tors upon the line, if you value your situ
ations.'
Some ten years since there was a very
ludriious, and at the same time natural
blunder perpetrated upon the line between
this city and New York. A gentleman
sent a despatch requesting parties in New
York to forward sample forks by express.'
When the message was delivered it read
thus Forward sample for K. S.'
The parties who received it replied by
asking what samples K. S. wanted V
Of course the gentleman came to the
office and complained that the despatch
had been transmitted wrong, and the oper
ator promised to repeat it. Accordingly
he telegraphed the Now York operator
that the despatch should have read—' For
ward sample forks.' The New York oper
ator having read it wrong in the first
instance, could not decipher it differently
now ; e replied that he did read it,
Sample for K. S.,' and so delivered it.'
But,' returned the Boston operator,
I did not say for K. S.,' but f-o7r-k-s.'
What a numbskull that fellow is in
BostoW exclaimed the New York operator,
in a rage. 'He says he didn't say for K.
S.,
but for K. S.'
The Boston operator tried for an hour
to make the New York operator read it
forks,' but not succeeding, he wrote the
dispatch off upon a slip of paper and for
warded it by mail ; and it remained a
standing joke upon the line for many
months afterwards.
Since the paper has been abolished upon
the Morse lines, errors like the above
rarely occur. The ear is found to be a
much more reliable organ for the tele
grapher than the eye. I ,do not think I
should overshoOt the mark if I said there
is not one error made in reading by sound
where there were ten formerly, in reading
from the long strips of paper. One reason
is, as I remarked in a previous article, the
operator in reading by sound has his eyes
at liberty, and can write down his dispatch
as he reads it by the tick, with all the
facility with which an expert reporter can
follow, and note down accurately, all the
words spoken in debate. The feat seems
an extraordinary one, but practice will
accomplish wonders.—Commercial Bulle

KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
FIFTY-FIFTH VOLUME.
LOUIS GAYLORD CLARK, DR. JAMES 0. NOYES,
EDITORS
The present number closes the fifty-fourth volume of
the Krucxxasocxxs., and while we thank our patrons for
their past favors, we shall strive to increase their number
by redoubled care and effort in every department of the
Magazine. We expect in our next number to be able to
announce a series of articles on Popular Astronomy, by
the most distinguished writer upon that science in the
land. 'Stories and Pictures• of the Hudson will be com
pleted during the year, and the two volumes will contain
the best sketches, tales, poems, etc., that can be procured
for the entertainment of our readers.
PREMIUM FOR 1860
In order to increase the already large circulation of the
KNICKEBBOCXZE, we publish this month a splendid line
engraving of Frith's picture of • Merry• Making in the
Olden Time, which we shall present exclusliely to the $3
subscribers to the Magazine for 1860; whether old or new.
The subject represents the pastimes of our ancestors, and
is eminently of a genial, domestic character. The plate,
engraved in England at :an expense of 2000 dollars, is
entirely new, measures twenty-five by nineteen and a halt
inches in size, contains thirty-nine figures, and is beyond
comparison the finest work of the kind ever offered as a
premium in this country.
The engraving of Frith's picture of Merry-Making in
the Olden Time, represents the himors of en English holi
day in the county in those good old times when the men
wore cocked-hats and knee-breeches, and the women stays
and hoops—a costume not essentially differing from the
oorseVand crinoline of the present day. Almost in the
cent% of the picture and a little to the back-ground is a
country dance on the green, with a hard-featured fiddler
perched on a high seat, and another musician In a tie-wig
standing by him, playing with all their might. On the
right two bouncing girls &regally pulling toward the dance
a gray-haired man, who seems vainly to remonstrate that
his dancing days are over,' while a waggish little child
pushes him forward from behind, greatly to the amusement
of his spouse, who is still sitting at the teatable, from
which he has been dragged. On the left under a magnifi
cent spreading oak, sit the 'squire and his wife, whom a
countryman with his hat off is respectfully inviting to take
part in the dance. To the left of the 'squire is a young
couple on the grass, to whom a gipsy with an infant on her
shoulder is telling their fortune. Over the shoulders of
this couple is seen a group engaged in quoit-playing, and
back of the whole is a landscape of gentle slopes and
copses. The picture has the expression of gayety through
out and the engraving is splendidly executed. It is fresh
from the burin of Mom, not having yet been published in
England.
TERMS.—Twenty-five cents per number, or $3 per an
num, in advance; two copies $5; three copies $6. The
postage on the Magazine (twenty-four cents per annum) to
be paid in all cases at the office where it is received.
air To every $3 subscriber for 1860, inclosing twelve
cents extra in stamps, will be sent, free of postage, a copy
of the new and splendid engraving of • Merry-Making in
the Olden Time' Whoever shall send us the names of five
$3 subscribers, and stamps, ($1000,) will receive the

and one tried alone will convince you that what we say is
true. It contains
NO PAREGORIC OR OPIATE
of any kind, and therefore relieves by removing the su

For this reason, it commends Itself as the only reliable
preparation now known for CHILDREN TEETHING,
DIARRHOEA, DYSENTERY, GRIPING IN THE BOWELS,
ACIDITY OF THE STOMACH, WIND, COLD IN THE
HEAD, and GROUP, also, for softening thegums, reducing
inflammation, regulating the Bowels, and relieving pain, it
has no equal—being an antispasmodic it is mod with un
failing success in all cases of CONVULSION OR OTHER
FITS. As you value the life and health of your children,
and wish to save thin from those sad and blighting conse
quences which are certain to remit from the use of narcotics
of which all other remedies for Infantile amp/stints are com
posed, take none but DR: EATON'S INFANTILE CORDIAL;

not injure the most delicate infant. Price, 25 cents. Full
