There are now 5,000 miles of wire in New Zealand, and over 500 persons employed in connection with the telegraph department. A correspondent, writing from a New Jersey camp-meeting, tells the following “ Many people sleep in the same tent here, being separated by a partition. A young fellow from Camden had become quite interested in a pretty daughter of a religious farmer. Last night, while a dozen cold-hearted fellows were trying to sleep they heard him say, in a low, sweet voice, ‘ Now, Caroline, dear, let me seal the vow, do !” ‘ No, James, I cannot. What would my father and mother say?’ ‘But, Caroline, you have promised to be mine—now let us seal the vow—let us, do let us—won’t yon ? Do kiss me !’ ‘ No, James, I cannot; oh ! I cannot—.’ In a moment the tent partition parted, and a bigwhiskered brother, who wanted sleep, shouted : —‘For God’s sake, Carrie, let him seal that vow. He’ll keep us awake all night if you don’t.’ The vow was sealed.”
