TRUK CHIVAMIY. [ln the cholera- wards of the LondonHos piUili in a scene of Buffering and death suffi cient to try the stoutest heart, a lady volun teer nurse has passed her time since the be ginning, ofthe epidemic, moving from bed to bed in ceaseless efforts to comfort and re lieve. So very youthlul and so very fair is this devoted, girl,,that it is difficult to oon ?J9*-a feeling of pain at her 1 presence under sUch circumstances.! . But she offered her help at a time when, from the sudden inroad of cases, Buoh assistance, was urgently re quired, and nobly has she follo wed her aSlf flight duty; Wherever the need is greatest and the work hardest, there she is to be seen toiling nntil her limbs refuse to sustain her. And the effeot of the fair young crea tnre’s- presence ban been thatrthe irarses have been encouraged by her never failing energy and cheeriness, so that the dread of the disease has been lost in efforts to 'oom bat it. This is an instance of devotion which" it would be an insult to praise—it need only be recorded.— Lance%,\ Idsten, where o’er startled Europe, Roll the dreadful peals of war; Echoes from opposed armies, 'As of thunder heard afar! Hark,Bow each disputes the glory; How both sides the victory claim; How the lying wires alternate Flash for each a transient fame! Bet them vault their fatal conquests; Bet them boast their thousands slain ; I«t themcount orphan, Made for vile Ambition’s gala! Shall no other deeds be blazoned, Than fell war*s triumphant wrong? Shall the hero-deeds around us Not be shrined in grateful song? Not amid the din of battle, Proudest victories .are won : Feats of daring notless glorious Are by fragile Woman done. ’Mid the haunts of hitman suffering, Many a noble 'fight is fought; Where unhymned by blare of trumpet, Deeds of Chivalry are wrought. liO-where Cholera’s fainting victims Writhe within the Spifal walls; Where by fonlest terrors girded, Death the'stoutest heart appals ! Fearless, undismayed in spirit, ’Midst the hbrrors rampant there, Moves with noiseless Btep a maiden, Gentle, young and passing fair. Take a ray of heavenly mercy, Tender, steadfast, meek and calm, She around each couch af anguish Sheds sweetly Pity’s priceless balm. Beaming in a halo round her, Sympathy’s divinest grace lends to all a new born courage, Eights ..with love that loathsome place. Brave, serene, her self-devotion, Eager in the fearful strife, Steals from livid death its terrors, Sooths the parting paDgs of life. Ever where the need is sorest, (V Tend the maiden’s efforts still; wail of form, fatigue still conquering the might of dauntless will. Easy is the soldier’s daring, W hile the hostile thunders roar, And the fateful balls, thick volleyed, lake a hissing hailstorm pour. ’Mid the crash and cloud of battle, Death but seems a common foe, Whom with level chance we close with, When we render blow for blow. But a grander thing I count it— Higher courage for, I ween— Thuß unarmed to'beard the tyrant, In his ghastliest aspeot seen. Blazon, then, a deed so noble. Rather than triumphant wrong; To True Chivalry all honor! Shrine we it in grateful song! Chemistry. of the Atmospbere. A Divine Arranger must.have spread out the thin, filmy curtain of the sky, like that thin film of water, the blue soap bubble, which, likethe atmosphere, reflects and decomposes the. light re flected on its surface. As withS&ht, so also the atmosphere is the conductor of sound. Prof. Cooke'says: “Every one who has, dropped a stone into the water of a still lake has noticed the system of waves which, with its ever-increasing circles, spreads in every direction from the stone; but all may not know that when two stones are struck together in the air a similar sys tem of aerial waves spread, in ever?wid ening spheres, through the atmosphere, and that it is these waves breaking on the tympanum of our ears, like the waves of water on a sand-beach, which produce the sensation which we call sound. Two stones thus struck to gether give rise to waves of unequal size, following one another at irregular intervals; and such waves produce an unpleasant sensation on our auditory nerves which we call noise. But if, instead of striking together two stones, we set in vibration the string of a pianoforte or the reed of an an organ pipe, we excite a system of waves, ail of equal size, and succeeding one another with perfect regularity, and these break ing on the ear produce by their regular beats what we call a musical note. If the waves follow one another with such rapidity that ones hundred and twenty eight break on the tympanum every se ,cond, the note has a fixed pitch called in music C natural. If the waves come faster than this, the pitch is higher,and if less rapidly, the pitch is lower. What you are all familiar with ra the pitch of a musical note depends then, on the ra pidity .with whi.ch the waves of sound strike the ear, and may evidently be measured by the number of waves break ing on the tympanum in a second.” Science demonstrates that the differ ence between colors is of precisely the same kind as thef difference between, tones. Bed, yellow, green, blue, violet, &c., are names' we give to sensations caused by waves of ether breaking at in, tervalson the retina, and color corre sponds to pitch, and at every step as the whole scale of colors spreads 5 out before us the'analogy of light to sound becomes still more eviaent. I Alnd thus wonderful are the forces the atmosphere holds and the .varieties ofarrangement it displays; it modifies and . diffuses heat, while it holds and'dispenses the mysterious and astbnishingagenbies 'of]eleetricity,r.just as the electrical -machine is constantly rubbing together(glass andsilk; just as we rub a stick of- sealing wax or a 1 glass-tube with a warm 1 silkrhandker jhief, so the air is always rubbing'over ; of the.earth with greater or less •; rapidity.

L, Pope has lately returned ; to this city, after an adventurous explo ring expedition in the service of the ’ Russian-Ameriean Telegraph Company. Accompanied by Mr.Blenkinfeop.of Vic toria, two Indians and four dogs, he left : New Westminster, near the mouth of Frazer River,May Ist, 1866, and in Octo-, : ber he reached Lake Tatla; the head of ; Frazer river, after a journey ofBOQ miles. Here he spent about four months, the waiter being too severe for traveling, duty to travel in a north west direction and find the Stickeen river, over a country through which no . white man had ever passed. The coun try was covered with a deep, light snow; they had no means of transporting their . ®r• .blankets and-idols save their dogs : and themselves; their stock of provisions : was small; , there was no game, and it was doubtful whether they would find any, Indians who., could feed them or ; would be disposed to do so. What other obstacles might obstruct their way could : be.surmised but not known. On the' 29th of February, ISG6, they left their camp, following the course of a ; valley in which Lake Tatla lay. The men were provided with snow shoes, and -the dogs were hitched-to a sledge on which was laden 425 pounds of provi sions and other baggage. Soon after starting, they reached the Skeena river, which empties into the ocean about lati tude 54 degrees, and they traveled up its Valley, which lay in their course. About latitude 57 degrees, where they first saw it, it breaks through the mountain ridge west of the valley, and they knew from its size and position that it must be the Skeena. They arrived at the head of the river, on the 23d of March. Here ; one of the dogs was killed,because he was too weak to go any further. The other dogs were very weak, and the snow had been so soft that the party could not go. more than three or four miles a day unless they could make Better time than that they would be in great danger uf perishing. They determined to push on, however, and in a few furlongs after leaving the Skeena, the snow became harder, and better- for- traveling, and they found they were on a stream ’ run ning northwest. They followed this down 50 miles, when, about.' latitude 58 degrees, it suddenly turned to the west. They knew that it must be a tributary of the Stickeen,'so they followed it down and satisfied themselves that it was the main river. In May they reached its mouth, where they found the Hudson Bay Company’s st?amer Otter, which carried them to Victoria, whence Major Pope came to this city. His land journey took him a. distance of 1,200 miles, and occupied a year, during the greater part of which time he was far from any human habitation. He found a valley of three miles wide, bounded on- the east by high mountains, extending northwestward from Lake Tatla to tn© bend of ths Stickeen river and the divides betwefen the Fraser and the Skeena, and between the- Skeena and the Stickeen are so low that the tra veler would scarcely notice them if the waters did not flow in different direc tions. This valley is open, and favora ble for the construction of a telegraph line, with enough timber for poles. The country .however presents fewattractions for the residence of the men who would have charge of the line. Pope’s Valley, as we name it, is about 200. miloa from the coast, and parallel with it. The tele graph line is now finished to Roeher de Bouller on theSkeena river,aboutSO miles west of Pope’s Valley; and it is doubtful, or was at the last accounts, whether the line should thence -follow-upthe Skeena to Pope’s Valley, or strike directly northwest to Buck’s Bar,on the Stickeen river. Something will probably depend upon the report of the exploring Darty which ascended the Kwichpakef and were tomeet Major Pppeon theStiokeen, but have not as yet been heard from. The distance of Roeher de Bouller from the mouth of Fraser river, by the tele graphic line, is abont 700 miles, bo the work has already made much progress. ■ At Buck’s Bar, oh the Stickeen, 150 miles from the. ocean, there are six white miners, who have been there for years, and are doing well. They say that the gold mines are rich and exten sive, and that there, are valuable lodes of silver and copper ores in the vicinity. Major Pope saw one lump of native copper nearly as large as a quart bowl , The AtlanthPcables. The following letter has been received by - the Atlantic Telegraph Company from Mr. Latimer Clarke: “Valenti/ Sept. 12,1866. — My Dear Sir: You have doubtless received through Mr. M’Cur ley the certificate of the completion of the; cable of 1865; I have since been en gaged in repeating all the tests of both cables at greater leisure; the results are most satisfactory, and bear ample testi mony to the great care and skill which must have been bestowed upon them at every yard and in every stage of their manufacture. The Insulation of the 1866 cable is even better than that of the 1866, but this is doubtless attributable to having longer submerged—time having the well known effect of improv “equality ofguttapercha. Thecable of 1866 has, however,also so greatly im proved sinceitwas snbmergedin July last that it is doubtful which will ultimatelv prove the better. The'perfection of the insulation of these lines is very gratify ing, and ihust certainly appear sur prising to any who are not aware of the great advances whieh have of late years been made in every branch of | telegraphy. If either of the cables, for example,, be disconnected from tbe earth'and charged with electricity, it re tires more than an hour for the half of the charge to escape through the insu lating covering to .the earth. With a single galvanic cell, composed of a few drops of aeid in a silver thimble and a fragment of zinc weighing a grain or ; two, conversation may readily, though slowly, be carried on either through one ; of the cables or through the two formed together at Newfoundland so'as to "form ■ aloop, and, although; 'in the latter base : the spark, twice traversing the breadth of the Atlantic, has topassthroueh ;3,7oomiles of cable,’ite effects ai the dis tant end are visible on.the galvanomete in a little more than k second after dbntact is made with the batteiy, Xhe deflections are not -of a dubious acter,; but full and strong, the spot of light traversing freely, through a: space of twelve or eighteen inches on the scale, and it is manifest that a battery very many times smaller would suffice to produce similar effects. The length of the 1865 cable is 1,896,48 nautical miles, being 38 miles longer, than that first completed, but there is no apparent dif ference in their speed of working. The 'clerks are rapidly gaining experience and confidence jh working, and have in some short and exceptional trials at tained a speed of even 17 or 18 words per minute. Judging from the experience afforded by other-cables, and from all that it known of the character of the bottom of me Atlantic, there appears every reason to expect that these cables will maintain their electrical perfection through a long series.of: years.—l am. dear sir, yours faithfully, [Signed] Lati mer Clarke.— To George Saward r Esq., Aslantic Telegraph Company, London.” The Oldest House in New Hamp shire. r— The following is from the Portsmouth (N. H.) Journal: “The old est house now standing, built in Ports mouth, is the quaint brick house on the Weeks farm’ Greenland; This is no blunder, although it seems like one—for at the tiine thatjhouse was built,Green land was a part of Portsmouth. We can find no written reoord of the year of its ; being built, but a family tradition dates its creation in. 1637, by the father of Leo nard Weeks. The house was built on the main road—but the straightening of the road half a century ago,' throws it on a circular lane several rods on the side! The speckled appearance of the house is . made by ’ having black header ; scattered among the bricks all ove the front. The bricks were burnt in - front of the house. The walls of the house are eighteen inches thick. It is of two stories; the lower story is eight and a half feet,: the second eight feet. The windows were originally of small diamond glass set in lead. Some of them have been in the house within the last fifty years. The timber used through out the house and for the roof are all of hard wood. The beams in the cellar are squared, twelve by fourteen inches. The sleepers are of red oak, about ten inches in diameter, with the bark on. There are planks on the inside of the walls, and the plastering is on reft wood nailed to the plank. There are marks of the house being injured by an earth quake, probably in 1755. If tradition is correct, this is the oldest house in New England,being two hundred and twenty eight years old. ‘‘This house was evidently built as a sort of garrison, with a view of safety from being burnt by Indians.” , Fall Planting of Fruit Trees.— In planting of fall fruit trees, the pear, apple and cherry invariably do better faiffplanted than when deferred till spring, north of Philadelphia. Thepeaen, plum and apricot should hot be planted till spring,if not done before heavy frost. All fruit trees when set out should be vigorously shortened in. Treesshould not be planted deep—no deeper than they grew before removal. It is better to draw a mound of soil about them for the win ter, to be removed early In the spring; it preserves from frost and throws off su- Eerabundantmoisture. Dwarfpears must e set below the quince stock—and in se lecting these, choose those that are bud ded near the ground—where a long-leg ged quince stock has to be buried so deep, the tree makes but a poor growth for some seasons afterwards, and is in other respects injured. In severe cri mates, cherries of very luxuriant growth are liable to be winter killed. To .obviate this, the weaker growing kinds/, as the Lake and Morello, and the Hahabled are used for stocks to graft them on! This checks their vigor, and renders them harder. It, however, always keeps them dwarf—and superior sized fruit is not so probable. When danger of winter killing exists, these strong growing kinds should not have a highly manured soil,and where they grow vigorous when young, they may be root-pruned, as al ready described. If they can be got through the first ten years of their life till they lose their youthful vigor, they will not suffer in severe winters after wards.—Gardener’s Monthly. i Coal Statement.
