The Atlantic Telegraph Expeuiment to dk Repeated this Faix.?Tlie London Times, speaking of the accident to the Atlantic cable says: ''The Directors, as we have been given to understand, have resolved to renew the attempt in October.

"1? during tho few weeks which must elapse before the next experiment, means can be devised for repaiving any damage which may 1 occur?that is, any means of recovering the end of the cahlo in case of accident, and of knitting it on again to the coil?we should ali most look upon the work as done.

Question for a Wife.?Do .you recollect what your feelings were immediately after 'you had.spoken the first unkind word to your husband ?

"Dad enough," was the reply of the i companion to whom the remark was ad- t dressed. "Neighbor Thompson appears to iMi running down liill pretty fast. I can 1 remember the time when everything around < his place was trimmed tidy." t "It is quite contrary now," returned the farmer. "House, out-buildings, and grounds, I nil show the want of the master's care. I . am afraid Thompson-is in the downward path." ' "He always appeared to be a steady, in- < dustrious man," rejoined the second speaker, *. "I i.....^ ? ,.r i.? - JL iiutu r> j rn 11 \J l UUUW Wit 11 lt'UL ill* 1 this moment ot his make, and they have f done me good service." ; "I have generally employed Iiim for my- i self and family," was the reply, "and I must t confess that he is a good workman ; but, s nevertheless, 1 believe 1 shall step into Jack I Smith's this morning, and older a pair of I boots that I need. 1 always make it a rule never to patronize those who appear to be t running behind hand. There is generally i some risk in helping those who do not help i themselves." t ''Very true; and as my wife desired me t.O SPA uhniit fl Hiiir nf ulmnc Iw.f llA morning, I will follow your examplo and t call upon Smith. lie is no great favorite of mine, however?an idle, quark-some fel- e low." t "And yet he seems to be getting ahead in i the world," answered the former, "and 1 am ? willing to give him a lift. l>ut I have an t errand at the butcher's?step in with mc t for a moment, 1 will not detain you." 11 At the butcher's they met the neighbor l< who had been the subject of their previous li conversation, lie certainly presented rather a a shabby appearance, and in his choice of u meat there was a regard to economy which did not escape the notice of farmer White, d After a few passing remarks, t lie poor shoe- v maker took his departure, and the butcher t opened Ilia account book with a somewhat t< anxious air, as he charged the bit of meat. "I believe it is time that neighbor Tliomp- J son and I conic to a settlement. Short ae si counts make long friends." f? 'No time to lose, I should say," remarked h the farmer. h "Indeed ! have you heard of any trouble, neighbor White?" v "No, 1 have heard nothing; l?ut a man !'? has the use of his own eyes, you know ; and I never trust any one with my money who r< is going down hill." a "Quite right; and I will send in my bill n this eveving.

I suppose he must / llAVP. rilfl linrwl <i 1*i?t at\ 11 I n must take care uf number one." p ' Speaking of Thompson, are you ?" observed a by-stander who appeared to take 1 an interest, "Going down hill, i? he ? Ib must look out for myself, then, lie owes fi me quite a snug sum fur leather. I did in- b tend to give him another month's credit but w on the whole, I guess the money wuuld be a as safe in my own pocket." e Here the four worthies separated, each 1 with his mind tilled with the atfairs of neigh- s! bor Thompson, the probability that lie was g going down hill, and the best way of giving Illlll H push. tl In another part of the little village simi- p lar scenes were passing. ll "I declare !" exclaimed Mrs. Burnett, the b dress maker, to a faVorite, as she hastily f< withdrew her head from the window whence b she had been gazing on the passers by, "if ? there is not Mrs. Thompson, the shoe-maker's wife, coining up the steps with a parcel t in her hand. She wants to engage me to t do her spring work, I suppose, but I think li it would be a venture. Every one 6nys they c are running down hill, and it is a chance if t I ever get my pay." ' She always has paid us promptly," was 1 the reply." u "True; but that was in the days of her t prosperity. I cannot afford to run any risk?" v The entrance of Mrs. Thompson preven- <1 ted further conversation. She whb evidently t surprised at the refusal of Mrs. Burnett to t do any work for her, but asn great pri&sure i of business was pleaded as an excuse, there I ' was nothing to be said, and sho soon took i | leave. Another application proved how t busy the village dressmakers bad suddenly c 1 become. t "Ah ! Mrs. Thompson, I nm glad to sec [ you," was the salutation. "I was about < calling at your bouse.

"Thirty dollars is no small sum to us just low," thought Mrs. Thompson, as she bought fully pursued her way towards home. "Itseemsstrango that all these payments nitst bo met just now, while wo aro struggling to recover from the heavy expenses of .lie winter.

Dicken's Last. One characteristic of Genius is its being exhaustless. Shakespeare did not writo himself out?bccause ho could not. Scott, the most voluminous author of his time, had his ebbs and flows, but ever through ins writings you .see tue exhaustless intellect. Even at tL>c last, when his May of life was 'in the sere and yellow loaf,' how noble did he vindicate his title to greatness, by producing "The Talisman,' in which Richard Cunir de Lion (wlio had previously figured in "Ivanhoe') was again brought on the scene, and even inoro impressively than at first. So with Dickens. Written out, do yon say ? Is the sun written out because lie sinks, a connlioriir info ilm W..et pear iti nil lii.s former glory ? Is Paulding tin written out??or Irving, or William Gil- ? ! more Simms, or any other great writer?? <;a No. A inau of geuius never writes himself CI out. fa, Here is "Little Dorritt'?that beautiful be Philadelphia!! edition which combines the L>u perfections of taste and low price.

One cannot always be quite ns serene as cy would. For example, this 'morning, ^ tile the dew was yet on the grass, word me that "Charley had got away." Now^ eni uirley is a most important member of the inily, and as shrewd a horse as ever need t,'ie . Lately he had found out the difference an< tween being harnessed by a boy and a an. Accordingly, on several occasions, t'" soon as the halter dropped from his head, sla id before the bridle could take its placc, ^ru s proceeded to back boldly out of the sta- cai e, iu spile of the stout boy pulling with I his might at his name and ears. This vel u ticular morning, we were to put a p?s- P0* nger friend 011 board the cars at 8.10?it 10 as now 7.30. Out popped Charlv from s stall, like a cork from a bottle, and lo! ea< me fifty acres there were in which to ox- 'Wl cise his legs and ours, to say nothing of sec itiper and ingenuity. First, the lady with ''lf measure of ofits attempted to do ihe thing e^' ; bribing him genteelly. Not lie? lie |nc iu i?u iu we u<us, none ID UlC ind until it cnmo near his head, when oft"- ^a! 5 sprang. After one or two trials, wo ar? opped the oats, and went at it in good an< rnest?called all the boys, headed him off vei is way, ran him out of the growing oats,. ',al ove him into the upper lot and out of it ^ain. We got him into n corner, with arc eat pains, and he got himself out of it ithout the least trouble. "He would dash sei: rough a line of six or eight whooping boys, ith ns little resistanco as if they had been many mosquitoes. Down he ran to the lower side of the lot, -^u id down we all walked after him. Up he seI1 n to the upper end of the lot, and up we evc I walked alter him?loo tired to run. Oh, mo was glorious fun ! The sun was hot. The an< rs wero coming, nnd we had two te(l iles to ride to the depot? lie did enjoy it, eii id we did not. We resorted to expedients the miiln (1IA llIC vj'v.u\.u ??

Man is vastly cai iperior to a horse in inany respects. But inning on a hot summer day, in a twenty ;ie lot, is not one of them! Wo got him rftS j the brook, and while he drank, oh, how Bli isurcly, wo started up and sitccccdcd in mi st missing our grab at his name ! Now C01 >mes another splendid run. His head was f?r i, his eyes flashing, his tail streamed attt <e a banner, and glancing his head this 'n ny and that, right and left, he allowed us to come qb to the brush corner; from ba hence, in a few momunts. he allowed us an emerge, and come afoot after hint, down ]?? the barn again. 13ut ttfk will "not hold rover, even wiiu uorses. jie ciasneff down lane?and we bad bim !
