MORSE’S ELECTRO-MAGNETIC
TELEGRAPH;
The complete success which has attended
the working of this Telegraph, now in ope-
ration between IVitshiiigton and Baltiniorr-,
has attracted public attention to it, even in
this bustling ‘city,and led to many enquiries
as to the method by which such wonderful
results are achieved. It was fortunate both
for the invention and the inventor, that the
cominnnication was completed between
Washington mid Baltimore prior to the meet-
ing of the Democratic National Convention,

ment of the Convention wits made known at

PRODUCTIVE FARMS.
To a person not familiary acquainted with
the history and statistics of English litisbarid
ry, the extreme productivencss of the fill'lliS
of that country, will appear incredible.—-
Nearly nine-ti-iitlis of the cultivated lurid in
Great Britain and Ireland, are rented to
tenants, who pay usually from four to five
pounds sterling, per acre ¢'lHl'il]tJl r«nt.-—
Where is the fariiit.-r in this country, who
could live under such a burdzn ? Here, a
farm comprisinga hundred acres, is ofttn

The habits I cannot endure;
Or you’ll spoil both your nose and complexion,

AN EVENING SONG.
Good night, love 1
May liez1vcu’s bright stars watch over thee!
Good angels spread their wings and cover thee !
And througli the night
So dark and still,
Spirits oflight
Cliarm the from ill!
My heart is hovering round thy dwelling place,
Good iiight,dear love! God bless thee with his grace!
-Q .
Good night, love!
Soft lullabies the niglit-wiiid sing to thee!
And on its wings sweet odors bring to thee.’
And in thy dreaniiiig,
May all things dear,
\Vitli gentle scciiiiiig,
Come smiling near!
My knees are bowcd,iiiy hands are clasped in prayer;
Good night, dear love.’ God keep thee in his care;

‘Smile when you smile ; and when you ragc,

waters of the world, which ought to be sunk

known at Baltimore. The \’VaShington
Spectator of Wcdncsday said:
“The locomotive, with the mail, came thundering
along last night with the intelligence up to 5 o'clock,
which had been received here by the lightiiitig ex-
press two hours and a half’ previously."
In fact, by theelcctro-in -gut-tic Telcgrapli.
Rail Road speed is rrndc ed coiiiparativt-ly
snail-like. Were this '1‘:-lt-graph extended
from Portland to New Orleans, intelligence
could be transmitted the whole distance in a
space of time as short as is required to trans-
riiit it from Washington to Baltimor»; or at
least, the diflcrcnce \\ otild not be perceptible.
It is easy to set: that such 11 'l‘elt-graph wotild
be of great itiiportttnce in case of war. If a
hostile flo-ct should make its appearance of!
Portland. the fact could be made known at
New Otlcaris, or at any l[ll(‘l‘mH.llIilC station,
in three minutes. Moreover this Telegraph
can be Worked with the satne facility and
effect by night as by day,-—in stormy we.-itln
er as in sunshine»-which is not the case
with the telegraplis heretofore in use. The
latter also are, worked but slowly, and at
every station the process must be repcatrd.
Not so with Morse’s Telegraph. Supposing
the couimunication to be Cflfllplel”, a single
touch of the wire would send the intclligt-rice
around the globe. At least this is probable.
For Prof. Morse’s experiniciits show that al-
though the power of the magnet diminishes
for the first ten miles, there is no perceptible
rliminurtlion 0ffCI"Z£’t£‘7'([S, within the limits to
which the experiment has been extended,
viz. 33 miles. From ‘the l0tli to the 23d
mile inclusive, the weight sustained by the
niagnct was a constant quantity. And the
this rate, the tenant has a hard tisk. The
cultivation, even where there a large num-
ber of acres in grass, will little more than
pay the tent an-l taxes; but in England the
l'tSUll. is widely differcrit. The tenant who
there pays five pound sterlizg, per acre-, zin-
nual rent, and finds all appliances, obtains
not only a comfortable living but wealth
from the prosecution ofa calling which here
would doom hitn to want and misery, and
ultimately, death, unless assisted by the town.

cost of manure and its application $l2 more
and if to this sum we add, for interest or ex-
penses, taxes, and the various contingent ex-

find, upon striking the balance, there will
remain a profit of $10 the acre, amounting

making believe angry at times, for the sake
of getting a stronger hold on a young fel-
low’s aflections, is the very summit of non-
sense. The fabric is of too flimsy and trans-
parent ti texture not to be seen through with
halfan eye. And another thing, my dear
young fcniales—-—while flirting (if you must
flirt) with the opposite sex, don’t. ever pre-
tend to be struck with admiration at the
sight of this and that thing, and exclaiin '0
how beautiful!’ unless you really think so.
The aflectation ‘sticks out about :1 feet,’ as
we say in Dutch, and is as disgusting as it is
nndisguised.
Now my young brothers, what shall lsay
of you ? I shall say that you are no better
than, ifas good as the other sex. In all
your movements you exhibit foolishness and
folly. You smile to betra-y-and as to
friend Beattie says, you lead to bewilder,
and dazzle to blind. You profess a purity
of purpose, and yet your daily practices are
wholly at variance with your precepts. You
pluck the beautiful posies that bloorri in the
garden of womankind, professedly to place
them in your bosonis, and cherish them ; but
alas! how often do you leave them, after
having taken a snuffor two of their fra-
grance, to wither in the cold blighting storms
of neglect! in short, you are perfect speci-
mens of insincerit_v——bladders of gas, bags
of wind-——full of words without meaning, and
manifestations of love devoid of a faithful
foundation.
My hearers—there is too much ttflectation
among you altogether. I agree with my
transatlantic friend, Mrs. Ellis, that it arises
principally out ofa desire to obtain the good
opinion of others, or the fear of losing it;
and an affected manner of acting or speaking
often becomes so habitual as to be quite be-
yond a cure. Thus it is important that you
my young. friends, should be warned against
acquiring such habits before they have be
come too deeply rooted to be eradicated by
tlieiinplements of reason and judgment.-
for any greater distance. The scientific
facts on which Professor [\'lorse’s invention
rests, are thus stated by it cotriinittce of Con-
gress:
First. That a Clll'l‘t'nl of electricity will
pass to any distance along a conductor con
necting the two poles of a volatilic battery
or.a senator of electricity. and produce visi-
ble effects at any desired points on that con-
ductor.
And yet that Irish peasint, in addition to the
expenses and outlays abovc enumerated, had
a church tax to pay, an} to be atthe expense
a family of four besides himself and wife.-—
Thc frugality of the Irish peasantry is pro-
verbial. They want nothing of luxury, and
are as contended, and far more robust, with
their fare of simple iniik and pottttocs, than
FOREIGN.

MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.
An odd sort of rclationship was lately for-
med by a pair ofnnptials extraordinary, in
Camden North Carolina. A widower, who
was not very young, became smitten with a
beautiful girl and. married her. A short
time after, the son ofthis man by a former
wife became also in love, not with a young-
er person, but with the mother of the father s
ne.w wife. a widow lady still in the bloom of
life. He offered himself, and soon the
young man and widow were united in the
bonds of matrimony; so that in consequence
of these two connections, a father became the
son-in-law, of his own son, and the wife not
only the daughter-in-law of her own son-
iii-law, but still more, the mother-in-law
of her own mother, was herselfthe daughter
in law of her own daughter, while the bus-
band of the latter is the father-in-liw of his
mother-in-law and father-in-law of his own
father. -

The interminable proceedings arising out

One of the greatest financial’ measures_of
the session, perhaps of the age, was introdu-
ced to the House of Commons by Sir Robert
Peel on the 6th of May. This great scheme
for improving the banking system of the
country has mil. with all but universal ap-
probation. He proposes to divide the Bank
of England into two branches,—-one to be a
bank of issue, the othera bank of deposif.—‘
The former to issue paper to the extent of
fourteen millions sterling, the Government
holding security in the sum of eleven mill-'
ions due from the Government to the bank,
in addition to the three millions of stock
which is to serve as a guarantee for the a-
tnount of notes. The new bank ofdeposit is
to manage the national debt, and serve pri-
vate customers, and it is guaranteed certain
exclusive privileges; it will have the power
of contracting and expanding the circulation
under proper regulations. The accounts of

, Tr/ler Oflice Holders.—VVe have no
doubt that it great many clcver fellows hold
office under John Tyler. Indeed, we know
there are. We were conversing with one
during a recent ‘tramp,’ and during the con-
versation we inquired of him how long he
proposed to stick to the Captain? ,
‘Why,’ said he, ‘I can’t answer you that
question better than by reciting to you an
anecdote I read the other day.”
‘How long,’ exclaimed a tradesmen, as he

The machine which produces these char-
acters, (called the register.) is moved by_ a
weight like :1 clock, the slip of paper being
wound about a cylinder, and carried under
the style by the operation of the mrtchinrry.
To the style or pcn which makes the marks
is attached a piece of iron, restingjnst above
a mass of soft iron, which last instintly ren-
dered a magnet by the transmission of the
electric current. This current is transmit-
ted by means of protected wires, supported at
suitable distances and at a proper elevation,
by posts or spits. Suppose the operator to
be at Washington, and that he wishes to
transmit intelligence. to Baltimore. He has
before him the two extremities of the wires,
and the means of sending along a current of
the electric fluid. The instant he brings
them together, the soft iron mass in Balti-
more becomes a magnet--the iron above it
is draivn towards it; and the style to which
it is attached, is pressed upon the paper_; and
