MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YOR KER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY JOURNAL. 
THE TELEGRAPH. 
BY JOHN’ PIERPONT. 
When the half century that now expires 
Drew his first breath, of telegraphic wires 
Nothing was known; a lionfire on a hill 
Had long announced appraoching good or ill; 
The Hebrews’ fire-sign on Beth Haccarem 
Told of the spoiler that was threatening them, 
And the same signal hailed the Greek with joy, 
And knew from it the fate of fallen Troy. 
Bale fire that played on Cheviot’s rocky head, 
Reflected from the Treviot’s glassy bed, 
Advised the wary Scotsman of the hour 
When from the “South approached proud Edward’s 
power.” 
Nay, then the wooden telegraph’s long arm 
Had just been taught to Indicate alarm; 
And, I believe, Brequet and Befancore 
Had also made the Gallic semaphort 
To do as much and something more; 
(’Twill be remembered that the famed ‘ blue lights,’ 
That burned so treasonably on Groton’s heights, 
To show the British how to run away 
From our own guns were of a latter day!) 
But now both editors and news boys laugh 
At bale fires and the timber telegraph. 
Quicker than you can light your beacon fire, 
Morse yokes the lightning to his car of fire, 
And if the message travels with the sun, 
In less than no time is the message done. 
On heaven’s sweet light, and all t he affa irs of men, 
A Hero Chieftain, laying down his pen, 
Closes his eyes in Washington at ten; 
The lightning Courier leaps along the line, 
And at St. Louis tells the tale at nine; 
Halting a thousand miles whence he departed, 
And getting there an hour before he started. 
from the hearts we had left behind us; and 
‘Scotland forever” re-echoed ‘Victory!’ 
Heavens!” added he, starting to his feet, 
and grasping his staff, as the enthusiasm of 
the past came gushing back upon his soul, 
“ to have joined in that shout was to live 
an eternity in the vibration of a pendu¬ 
lum !” 
In a few moments the animated soul that 
gave eloquence to his tongue, drew itself 
back into the chambers of humanity, and 
resuming bis seat upon the low wall, he 
continued: “ I left my own regiment with 
the prospect of promotion, and have since 
served in the West Indies; but have heard 
nothing of my father—nothing of my mo¬ 
ther—nothing of her I love.” 
While he was yet speaking, the grave¬ 
digger, with a pickaxe and spade over his 
shoulder, entered the ground. He ap¬ 
proached within a few yards of where we 
sat. He measured off a narrow piece of 
earth—it encircled a little stone which the 
soldier had thrown to mark out the burial 
place of his family. Convulsion rushed over 
the features of my companion; he shiver¬ 
ed—he grasped my arm —his lips quiver¬ 
ed, his breathing became short and loud— 
the cold sweat trickling from his temples. 
He sprang over the wall—he rushed tow¬ 
ards the spot. 
“ Man! he exclaimed in agony, “ whose, 
grave is that?” 
“ Hoot! awa’ wi’ ye,” said the grave dig¬ 
ger, starting back at his manner, “ what na 
a way is that to gliff a body! Are ye 
daft?” 
“ Answer me,” cried the soldier, seizing 
his 1 and, “ whose grave—whose grave is 
that?” 
“ Mercy me!” replied the man of death, 
“ ye are surely out of your head, it’s an 
auld body they ca’d Adam Campbell’s 
grave —now are you anything the wiser for 
splerin ?” 
“My Father!” cried my comrade, as I 
cing the marriage service of the Church of i 
Scotland. The bride hung her head sor- j 
row fully, and tears were .stealing down her ! 
cheeks—she was his own Jeanie Leslie.— j 
The clergyman' paused. The bride’s father j 
stepped forward angrily, and inquired,— | 
“ what do ye want sir?” but instantly recog- j 
nizing his features, he seiz* <i him by tiit-* j 
breast, and in a voice half choked with ' 
passion, continued—“Sorrow tali’ ye for a | 
scoundrel! what’s bro’t ye here, an’ t,h<-I 
mair especially at a time like this? Get-j 
out o’ my house. Sir! 1 s V'ii;; Camp 
bell, get out o’ my house, an’ never da- lc n i

over art, and he addressed her in the ac¬

and won her heart,

British officer. He dropped the fragment
