Was the Atlantic telegraph Freshad owed by the “Book of Revelations.”

The iTeic York Herald remarks, That which we now see realized, the Evangelist may have seen eighteen hurdred years ago on the isle of Patmos, as in a glass dimly, and the following prophetic words may, without much straining, bo applied to the great wonder of the age., “And I saw another-mighty angel come down from Heaven clothed with a Cloud; and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire. “And he had in his hand a little bookxipen; and he Set h s right foot upon the sea and his left foot upon the earth. “And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth; and when lie had cried, seven thunders had uttered their voices. “And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices I was about to write, and 1 heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me: ‘Seal up those things which the seve.fi thunders uttered, and write them not.’ ' 1 “And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his band to heaven, “And swear by Him that liveth forever and ever, who crcatejd Heaven and the things that, therein are,' andjthc earth and the things that therein are, and the sea and the things which are therein, ZAuZ there should be lime no longer. Upon Choosfni; a Wife.—Young man, a word in your ear. When you choose a wife, don’t be a dashing creature, fond of society, vain, artistical and showy in dress. You do not want a doll or a coquette for a partner. Choose rather one of those retiring, modest., sensible girls, who have learnt to deny themselves, and possess some decided character. But above all, seek for a good disposition. No trait of. character is more valuable in a female than the possession of a sweet temper. Home can never be made happy withorrt it. It is like the flowers that, spring up in our pathway, reviving ami cheering us. Let a man go home at night, Worried and worn by the toils of the diiy, and how soothing is 1 a word dictated by a good disposition! It is sunshine falling ■on the heart. He is happy and the cares of lite are forgotten. (kS~Jepnic—“Well, Annie, how do you get along with that lover of yours! Did you got rid of him !” Annie-; —“Oh, yes! 1 got, rid of him very easily- I married him.”

A Mother’s. Influence.—How touching, the tribute of the Hon. Thos. H. Benton, to his mother’s influence: My mother asked me never to use tobacco, and I have never touched it from that time, to the present day; she asked me not to game, and I have never gamed, and I cannot tell who is winning and who losing, in games that can be played. She admonished rhe, too, against hard drinking; and whatever capacity for endurance I may have at present, and whatever usefulness I may attain in life, I attribute to having complied with her pious and correct wishes. When I was seven years of age, she asked me not to drink, and then I made a resolution of total abstinence, at a time when I was sole constituent member of my own body, and that I have adhered to it through all time, I owe to my mother.”
