MARTHA WARREN.
"Good-byo, Martha. Gotl help veil !
I shall bo back In thrco ilnvs nt tho
liirtncst."
'ilio linrily Avliito Mountnln ulonccr.
Mark Warren, klssctl his younL' wiib.
held hU two year old boy to his breast
for a moment, and then shouldering the
sack of corn that was to bo converted
Into meal at tho rude mill, forty miles
away, imaged on through tho wilder
ness. Martha Warren stood at tliu door of
tho eotfagc.sazinnf out after tho retreat
ing form of her husband. An anp-lo in
Iho denso shrubbery hid him from her
view, but still sho did not return to the
solitary kitchen, It looked so dark and
lonesomo there, she shrank from enter
ing; or perhaps the grand sublimity of
ino view spread out beforo her, held her
attention and thrilled her soul with that
nameless, unexpected something that
wo all seo when standing faco to face
with tho work of His fingers.
Tho finest and most satisfactory view
cifthoWhito Mountains is that which
presents itself from what is now the
town of Bethlehem, on tho road to
Littleton and Franconla. Mount Wash
ington, tho King among tho princes, is
thcro seen In its proper place tho
centre of tho " rock ribbed range,
towering bald, bhio and unapproachii
bio. Far up in tho wild clearing, closo by
tho turbid waters of the Ammonoosuc,
was the cottage situated a place wild
and icrio enough for tho nest of an eagle,
but dear to tho heart of Martha Warren
as tho homo whero sho had spent tho
nappy days or her young wifehood.
When sho had turned from many n
partrician suitor in tho fair old town of
Potsmouth, to" Join her fortunes witii
thoso oftho young settler, It was with
tho full and perfect understanding of
Iho trials that lay beforo her. Sho
woultl walk in no path of roses for years
to como j much of life must bo spent iu
tho eternal solitudes whero sllenco was
broken only by tho wild winds of tho
forest, tho shllck of tho river over
tho sharp rocks, or tho dismal howl of
tho red mouthed wolfufarliitho wider
no.ss. The necessary absence of her hus
band sho dreaded most. It was so verv
gloomy to closo up her lonely fireside
with tho consciousness that thero was
no human being nearer than tho settle
iiient of Lord's Hill, ten miles uway
inrougii tno pathless woods.
'ihcro win littlo to fear from tho Iu
dlans, although u few of tho scattered
tribes yet roamed over tlicso primeval
hunting grounds. They were mostly
disposed to bo friendly, and Mrs. War
ren's kind heart naturally prompted her
to many acts of friendship toward them,
and an Indian nover fonrets a kind.
nes.
Tho purplo mist cleared uway from
tho bcaircd forehead of tho dominant
old mountain ; tho yellow sun peeped
over the rocky wall, and Martha turned
away to tho performance of her simple
domestic duties. Tho day was tt long
ono, but It was towards evening, nnd
tho gloaming comes much booner iu
the-so solitudes than iu any other lilace.
Tho sunlight faded out of the unglazed
windows, though it would illumlno tho
distant mountains for somo tiino yet ;
und Martha went'outln tho scanty gar
den to Inhale tho odor of tho sweet
pinks on tho meagre root sho had
brought from her old homo.
Tho spicy perfume carried her back
iu memory to thoso days away in tho
past, spent with kind frionds.and cheer
ed with bright young hopes. But though
tho thought of homo and kindred mado
her sad, not for it moment did she re
pent the fate sho had chosen. Absorbed
In thought sho hud not noticed tho ad-
senco of Charlie, her littlo boy j now
sho saw with vnguo uneasiness that ho
had left tho bed of peppermint whero
hohnd been playing, and was not to bo
seen. Sho called his name, but only
echo and tho swollen river replied,
Sho Hew back to the house, tho faint
hope remaining that ho might havo re
turned thither for his pet kitten ; but
no, tho kitten was mowing nt tho win
dow, but no sigtis of Charllo.
With frantic linsto sho searched tho
clearing, but without success. Her
next thought was the river I Black as
tho night, savo whero it was Kecked
with spots of white foam It tluwed on
but a few yards beforo her. Sho hurri
ed down tho bank, culling, "Charlie,
Charlie."
The child's voice at somo littlo dis
tance replied. Sho followed tho sound,
and to her sorrow saw tho boy his
golden hnlrand rosy face clearly defined
against tho purplo twilight sky stand
lug on tho very edge of tho huge, de
tached rock, somo ten foot from tho
shore, out In tho sweeping current of the
river!
This rock, called by tho settlers "Tho
Pulpit," was n good situation for eait-
EMBAY, MAY U,
lug fishing lines, nnd Mark Warren hai!
bridged tho narrow chaom between
and tho shore With u couplo of hewed
logs.
Allured by soma clusters of Hum lug
firo weed growing on tho sido of tho
Pnlpit, Charllo had passed over, and
now stood there, regardless of danger,
laughingly holding out tho floral trcas
uro to his mother. Martha flow over
tho frail bridge, nnd tho next moment
held her child In her arms. Joyful bo
cuiso sho had found him unlnjurcd.am
mentally resolving that tho logs should
bo removed to prevent further nccldcnt
sho turned to rotraco her steps, but tho
sight that met her eyes frozo.hcr with
horror to tho spot.
Confronting heron tho bridge, not blx
feet dlstant,wns anenormou9 wolf.gauut
nnd bony with hunger, his eyes blazing
like llvo coals through tho mist nnd
gloom, his hot fervid breath .scorching
tho very air sho breathed.
A low growl of inlciiso satisfaction
stirred tho nlr, answered by tho growl
of tit least fifty more of his kind belong'
ing to tho pack ; In another momcn
they would bo upon her l
Without an Instant's thought of tho
consequence, Martha obeyed her first
Impulse, and struck tho logs with her
foot, exercising all her mad strength la
tho blow. Tho frail fabric tottered, tho
soft earth gavo way, thcro was a breath
of wild suspense, and then il went down
with a dull pluugo Into tho waters bo
neath. Tho sharp claws of tho wolf had
already been fixed on tho scant vegota
tion oftho rock, and ho held thero a
moment struggling with ferocious
strength to gain a foot hold, tho next ho
slid down into tho chasm, uttering, a
wild howl of disappointed rngo.
Martha sank upon her knees and
offered up u fervid prayer of thanks
giving for her escape; but simultaneous'
ly with the heartfelt "Amen," there
in mo n dreadful recollection. Tho bridge
formed tho only link between tho pulpit
and tho main land, and that was sever
cd. True sho was not more than twen
ty feet- distant from theshoro oftho riv
er, but sho might as well havo been
thousands of miles out in tho ocean.Thc
water was deep, and It ran with almost
inconceivable rapidity, forty or fifty feet
below her, over rockH so sharp an J jog'
ged that It mado her shiver to look over
tho brink.
Her only hope was in her husband
Should ho return at tho expected time,
they might still boallvo; but If by any
accident lie should bo detained beyond
the time I Sho closed her eyes, and be
sought God for protection and help.
Cold, hungry and drenched by tho
mist of tho rivers, Charlie began to cry
for home. Sho could hear anything
better than that. Sho took off her own
garments to fold around him nnd held
him to her breast, and sang him the
cradle songs which had so often soothed
him.

tho long dark night through ho clung

iy tiawned at last, tlio pulo sun
swimming through the sky, tho pallid
forecast of n storm. Weak and faint
from cold for summer Is no bearer of
tropical smiles In this Inhospitnblo
cllmo Martha paced back and forth tho
narrow limits of tho rock. Noon camo
tho faint sun declined it was night
again. A cold fog sank down over tho
mountain, followed by a drizzling rain,
which beforo morning changed into a
perfect deluge. Tho river rose fearfully,
roaming milk whlto down the gorgo
filling the air with a shuddering roar
Iiko tho peal of an Imprisoned earth
quake.
Tho day that followed was no better,
only rain and uslicu-whllo mist not n
ray of sunshine.
A now fear nroso iu tho heart of Mar-
tha Warren. Tho turbulence of the
stream must have swept away tho
bridge over which her husband would
cross on his return, and ho would bo de
tainedfor days, may bo for weeks,
Sho gavo up all for lost. Strongly nnd
fearfully was sho tempted to fold hor
child In her nrms nnd plunge into tho
cauldron beneath, and thus end her
fear and doubt 1 It would bo better
sho thought, than to suffer that slow
and painful death of starvation 1 But
something held her back God's curso
was on those who do self-murder.
Towards night a lost robin, beaten
about by tho storm, stopped to rest a
moment on a rock, Martha seized him,
and rent him iu twain, with almost
savago glee, for her to devour raw she,
who two days before would have wept
at tho sight of n wounded sparrow.
Another night und day, liktithooth-
eronly more Intensely agonizing. Mar
tha Warren was suddenly Indifferent
now; suffering had palsied every noblo
feeling. Clmrloy moaned for supper
too weak nnd spent to sit up ho was ly
ing on tho rock, his head In her lap,
his great eyes fixed on her face.
Sho tore open a vein In her arm with
her scissors, mid mado him drink tho

wild, wistful yearning of his oyes.
Tho hoy rose; ho sat and peered
through tho Ilnrkness.
"Mamma," said ho "p.ip. ls't'omiug,
I felt lit in touch me."
Sho woptat tho moclcery, and drew
tho child frantically to her bosom.
Tho night wan fair lit up by tho now
moon, 1
Overcomo by n deadly exhaustion,
against which sho mado no resUtaneo,
Martha fell Intoauutioasyslumbcr which

When sho iuvoUo to consciousness,
sho was lying on her bed In thu cottago

It was no dream; sho and her darling

"Yes, sir."
"Well, sir, you'ro n tarnation smnrt

"Sorry for that, sir," said tho stump-

when a boy, but I almost forgot how
tho thing was done now. I'll tell you
how it was.slrangcr.as near as I can. I
used to takoa red cent, and change It
Into a ten dollar gold piece."
Oh!" said tho professor, "that Is
qulto simple, a mere trick of slight of

"Well I know It's not very difficult.
but as I forget how, will you show me?"
nt tho same time handing n cent to tho
Wizard.
"Oh, jes, sir, if It will obligo you. I
will show you in n moment. Hold your
hand," said the wizard. ''This is your
cent is It not?"
"Yes sir."
"Close your hand!"
The Down Easter closed his hand fast.
"Aro you suro you havo It ?" asked
tho wizard.
I guess I have," said ho ; "and I'll
bet a dollar you can't chango it Into a
ten dollar gold piece,"
"Done," said tho Wizard. "Now
hold fast."
"Yes, sir, I reckon I will but stop!
down with your dollar! hero's mine!"
said tho Yankee.
Tho Wizard covered his dollar.
"Now, sir nro you ready?"
"I an't nothln' else."
"Change!" said tho Wizard. "Now.
sir, open your hand,"
"Ho did so, and to his utter astonish
ment ho held a bona fide ten dollar gold
piece!
Well, sir," said the Wizard," you
8co ycu havo lost your dollar."
I guess I have," said he. handing
over tho two dollars.
"Now," said tho Professor, "I'll bet
another dollar I'll chango tho ten dollar
pleco into your cent again,"
Iro ycr don't," said tho gent from

thoy nro obliged to cry pcccavl I
"Iu tho courso of human events'.' (o
find nnow stylo nntlpodcnn with tho
Hood, or cotempornry with the tlmo of
Gcorgo Washington thcro happened to
bo a peddler of tho Old BayStateihy tlio
namo of Iko Jowell, who ono day "pick".
cd up his traps and started off South,
along the lino of tho Mississippi, In or
der to dispenso patents for various In
ventionsfrom a tooth-pick to n fan-nlng-mill
nnd ntlast brought up nt tho
little villngo of Helena, in tho Stato of,
Arkansas. Now, It happened that on
tho very day that Mr. Jewell arrived
In town, a fellow had been arrested for
negro stealing, and placed In tho old
log Jail, preparatory to receiving tho
penalty of fifty lashes for tho offen.su.
Tho Jail being insecure, ihero being no
patrol a la horse-guards, to protect it
tno prisoner, having a tlngo of Jack
Shcppard's blood In his veins, managed
to escape, and or courso, ifow by tho
night, nrtcr tho manner of tho witches
In Macbeth. The consequence was that
when tho sheriff went tho next morn
ing, In nil tho dignity of official pride,
to administer tho punishment, ho was
both surprised and Indignant to find Ids
man nun est inventus 1
"Ah I this won't do," said tho digni
tary, biting his Hp, nnd looking tion-
lards at tho under-sheriff and a carrot-ty-headed
deputy, with a pumkln
colored beard of a week's growth "We
must set spies about for him, und havo
hini ro-npprohended."
Scouts wero Immediately dispatched
on nil sides, all of whom had seen tho
man on trial, and know his face, and as
tho sheriff's indignation wo hugely
"riz," their orders wero uncompromis
ingly stringent.
Now It happened, from some strange
and unfortunnto circumstance, that this
newly arrived Yankee peddler was tho
very Image tho regular "Corslcan
Brother" tho "Siamese Twin" of tho
fugitive culprit, and as ho was butter
ing apancakont breakfast next morn
ing, a large, poworful man, with an of
ficial grin, tapped hini gently on tho
shoulder.
"Well, what's tho row now V" Inquir
ed tho Yankee.
"Want you, mister," was tho .brief
reply.
"Yeco want ino deu you? I sposo
you've hearn of my having como to
town with my everlastin' and nil snort?
en inventions. You'ro wldo awake, I
see, for coming afore any ono else."
"Curse your inventions," said the of
ficjal. "Tho sheriff wanU to sco you Im
mediately. You thought to escape, did
yu?
"Sheriff Escape! Look a litre, you
critter, what on nlrth do you menu?"
"Mean, for you to como along with
out another word." And so saying ho
dragged tho peddler out of tho room.
On the way he learned the circum
stances of tho arrest, and although ho
protested, nnd sworo ho was not tho
man, tho likeness was too strong for be
lief. T)io sheriff udvlsed him for tho
good of his country and tho honor of
his friends, If ho had any, not to tell
such "dreadful lies," but quietly sub
mit to tho punishment.
The conscqucnco was, Iks was tied to
tlio whipping post, nud the eucrlff pro-
pared to render, in tho sovcrcst laajincr
tlio infliction.
"Now, beforo I begin old fellow,"
said tho sheriff, "what havo you got to
say?"
"Oh, nothln' in particular," said the
peddler, laughing with a meanlngcurvo
of tho lip "only cf you can afford to
pay for luxuries, mister, go ahead J"
Tho sheriff not comprehending tho
drlltof this busltiess-liko observation,
applied tlio scourge.and at every cut tho
unuee laughed with Immoderate glee.
Lnsh succeeded lash, nud still ho
aughed, "and still tho wonder grow."
When tho fiftieth lash had been laid
on, as u parting salute tho sheriff threw
down tho whip in a flood of wonder
ment nnd addressing tho Yunkee, said:
"I'm regularly dumbfounded! What
in thu devil's namo makes you laugh
so?''
Laugh 1 Why, who could help It?"
fairly roared tho Yankee. "I'm laugh-
lug to think how you'vo got sucked Jn
on this 'ero operation I ain't tho man.'
Ho said this so meaningly, that tho
sheriff began to think there must bo a.
mistako somewhere. Tho Yankee still
wont on saying:
"It strikes mo that business iu my
Hue. is going to bo rather dull In this
town, nud If there's any law to bo had,
I'll speculate on this licking, und sco ef
I can't turn It to snmu account. I'm al
ways open for trade, mister, If you want
to compromise for remember, you'vo
licked thu wrong mini?"
Tho shcrllr, nfter consulting with his
lawyer, settled with tho Yankee, pay
ing him three hundred dollars, and tho
fellow went on his way hoping to meet
with similar luck elsewhere.

,tyo blades ot 1 grass, to crow wliero but

.country so extended as ours, tho use of
Iron fn transporting ,tho various pro
ductions from tho farms, workshops and
mines to tho places of consumption, has
become as important iw their produc
tion .or growth. For thin "reason wo
tko plcitsuro in chronicling tho resulU
or experiments lor thq manufacture of
Iron, particularly those which obviate
tho necessity of largo and oxponslvo cs-tablLshracnts.-nnd
bring tho' business
within the , roach of Individuals nnd
companies with moderate capital,- and
bono Hint, which has boon demonstrated
a complete success In Schuylkill eoutity
may bo speedily introduced In our own
iron abouudlngLehigh.
At lllnggold, in Schuylkill county,
they nro making wrought iron blooms
direct from tho oro,under a now process
patented by J. Jameson. Tho merits
of this proccsu aro most extraordinary
and must certainly effect a, .complcto
and radical chango In the, tnodo of man
ufacturing wrought iron. Tho furnaces
each with two fires,, nro constructed ot
a cost of about $1200, and .each is capa
ble of producing ten tons of blooms per
week. TUoy are somewhat of an o ven
shape,liavlnghowovcr a stack from tho
top or about, 20 feet In height, and can
bo erected, any whore,-at thoi mines di
rect, if so desired. A refining llro is In
front, Into which tho .blast pipes enter
on tho side. The gas that is evolved
from the fuel , passes into a; chamber,
whero combustion takes place, and
thonco the combustion of tlio gases con
tinues, till nbovo tho fifth chamber it
passes (together; with such do'ctcrious
qualities as havo boon taken up from
tho ore In its progress") through anil out
of tho stack. Tho flvo chambers nro
called in tha Jameson Patents the do
xydlzing chambers. The ores aro calcin
ed, then crushed, and first placed in the
top or fifth chamber.; Into the first and
second cltambers n small Jet of steam, Is
injected whereby hydrogen is generated
for tho purpose, or aiding in desulphu
rating and dephosphorating the ores.
Tho floor of tho top chamber is u tablo
made of fire-clay blocks, with an open
ing at tho end opposite lfrom tho door
or entrance through which the, raw oro
is thrown in., On this tablo the ore is
spread out, and after being hero sub
jected to the operation of tho. burning
gases il is then pushed down through
tho opening tit tho end of tho tablo op
posite to tho door on to a like table iu
the chamber, below, whero it is again
spread out .and here it remains for a
time and in Uku manner posses ou to
the table of the third ehambcr, thcro,
after undergoing a like operation, it is
passed to tho second chamber, thence it
goes to tiio bottom or first chamber.
Thus every partlclo of the oro is equally
operated upon. By this time the oro is
nlmosta pulp, nnd then it is passed Into
tho charcoal bed and refining chamber.
Hero the loop is soon formed, when It
is taken out, and tho hammer soon pro-,
sent s you with a bloom of from 223 to
250 pounds in weight. It is not claim
ed that to muko wrought iron direct
from the ore has any thing new about It.
Probably' half the blooms mado hi
America aro thus produced. Generally,
they nro of an inferior quality, nnd in
volvoa largo expenditure of fuel and
of ore. It is not so however witjt tho
blooms made by tho Jameson process.
It is claimed that a ton of blooms can
bo made by this process with about tlio
Miino expenditure of fuel and qro that
it requires to inako a ton of pig metal
in tho blast furnaco. The experiment
at lllnggold shows that 200 bushels of
good charcoal and about 2 tons of fifty
per cent, ore will yield a ton of bloom1).
0'hii process claims, and the exper
cneg fully establishes that claim, that
thu ota is not only fully dcojcydlzed,
but also Sulphurated and dophosphof.
atcd. Witv the single exception of a
few blooms tnsAa from a certain ore, it
has been found by alysia that neither
sulphur nor phoipiwrs wero present
In the iron mado,' and ai-otj if the best
quality lias been made Itomil. Prior
to tho Jameson process all exiierlojeuts
to muko blooms by the direct procmj
where the flamo was brought in direct
contact with tho ore, have failed. Tho
difficulties encountered wero that tho
great heat consumed iind,carbureted tho
metai, while tho too great heat slagged
tho ore before it reached tho refilling
chamberr. By (lie Jameson process all
theso points aro fully obviated. Tho
heat Is kept down to that tcmpcruturo
und thu blast Is so regulated that the
metal Is not consumed nor carbureted,
nor the ores slugged, but, on the con
trary, tho ores aro completely dcoxy
dlzcd and by tho chemical Influences
brought into' operation In tho manner
beforo described, thoroughly clcauuJ
of sulphur und phosphorus. The cost
or making blooms by this process Is
about P per ton more than the cost of
making pig metal lu the ordinary blast
rurnaco.
