Ilriil ing down tlie shilling river, WLerc the siinbefttiis glance aiulfiufver On the rippling waves so swiTUy Dancing onward to the sea; As they glide in ceaseless motion To the broad, Onfatlmmed ocean, "What a leaaoii, in their journey, Do they whisper unto met Down a broader, deeper river One whose wavelets we can never Bail but onco for never backward O'er its surface may we go Do we float, perhaps unshrinking, Often heedless ami nuthinkrug, Where tlie boundless, endless oean, Of Kteruity doth flow. With our hoiieful eyes tnrned sunward We are looking onward, on war. 1 For a glimpse of that bright Kden. Lost while yet the world was young ; For we fancy that it glimmers Where the shining water skimmers Like a gate of pearl liefore its Ily the hand of distance hung. Mopg its far-off purple shadows . Do we. picture flowery meadows Kright clysian fields of beauty, "Where we hope to pause And rest , Hut how oft we find them cheating, Kinpty virions, false and fleeting As the magic cities rising From the water's misty breast. When at last our heaven nearing, All its beauty disappearing, We but find a barreu desert. On the sea's rough, stormy verge ; AH its fruits to ashes turning. All its valleys hare and burning, And the white wings of its angels Itut the foam-wreaths on the snrge. Naught is real, naught is lasting 8a ve that world to which We're hasting Over Time's swift-flowing river; A nl for rest we seek in vain Till we rea-h the golden portal Never cr ssel by loot of mortal, An-l our hie bark's wrecked and shattered Ne'er to bresvbt the waves again. If'JiO WAS HU? On a dreary November afternoon in the year 18C0, Mr. IJlonger, senior mcmbci of tlie fiim of Blongcr & Co., machinists and manufacturers of marine engines, estab lished iu 1803; was sitting before a biasing tiro in his office iu the east end of London, when a visitor was announced. Show him hi, James," sa'd tho old gentleman, and continued the perusal of the Timet. A moment after the door opened, and a young man, apparently about twenty-four years of age, plainly attired, entered and stood, hat in hand, awaiting tho leisure of the gentleman, who merely glanced at the stranger, and immediately resumed his paper, evidently thinking his visitor to bo a person of no importance. After a silence of a few minutes, Mr. Iilongct laid dowu his paper, and lookiwr up, abruptly said: "Well, toy god sir, what do you want with me?" "Are you the cider Mr. monger?'' in quired the srangtir, with an unmistakable American accciiL "I am." "I heard of yon and came to see you. I understand that you transact A largo and successful business, init it is Hot on tlr.it account that I have called upon you. I am told that you havo considerable influence with tho chief persons in the govern incut, and it is for that reason I pay you this visit," Mr. Dlonger placed his gold rimmed spectacles on fiis nosr, and eazed in luuto astonishment At his visitor, who continued: , "I am the inventor or dhscoverci, raiher, of a secret of natures a process that will ro voluliouizo the world, which will reverse natural law, which will inaugurate a new order of things ; a discovery, tho results of which are so vast (hat no hitman mind can ctMnprehcnd them. In short I can uspcird the laws of gtavtation.,, At this monstrous assertion a look of alarm appeared upon the countetiBticc of the litdcnci ; but as ho compared his brawny frame with the slight figure of tho lunatic Ircfore hint, it gave place to a con temptuous smile, as ho auswered some what impatiently : "Wt 11, well, my dear sir, rrnap yrn can pet hups jon can $ but I am not In that line of business, nnd you would better apply to Somebody else." The young man went on with imjeitHrb ablo gravity : "I can swing the mightiest man-of-war England possesses into the air with my little linger. I can lift the largest cannon at Woolwich like a coik ; I can " "Yes, yes, I know but I am busy now," replied tho manufacturer, rising, and ad vancing towaid tho bell to summon a servant. "Wait, Mr. Tilongcr," said his visitor, in a tone so carnost that that- gentleman hesitated in spite of himself "wait a mo ment. I am not mad. I know you do not belli v; me, and I don't wonder at it ; but I will show you that what I say is true." Ho laid his hat on the table, and drew from tho breast pocket of l.is coat a glisten ing bluo wire. There was an anvil in a cornet of the room. ' He wound the coil of who around the an til in a moment, lifted it like a feather from its place to the mid dle of the apartment, and then stepi-ed proudly back. Tho anvil floated like a bubble In the air. To say that Mr. monger looked astound ed and aghast would convey but a mild i idea of the expression of his countenance ! nt this moment. It was one of absolute horror. He sttiod gazing fust at the anvil, then at tho man, and at last wilh a sigh or relief, he ejaculated, rcihi.ps this is only jugglery," and he droned into a chair. The young American snatched tho coil of wiit from around ti c anvil, and il fell at once with terrific force, crushing in a por tion of the floor. 'I beg your pardon, sir, but is there any jugglery about that, think you?" he asked with a smile, and also sal down. Tho conversation that ensued was long and earnest, and resulted in this con clusion : Mr. Blongor was to notify one or two personal friends in the cabinet, several scientific men of high repute, and two or three foreigners, the whole number not to exceed twelve, that be wished them to meet him in order to investigate in concert a -wonderful disco vey iu science, the nature of which would then be communicated. The young stranger agreed to repeat his experiments on the occasion of the meet ing, and explain he process by which they were accomplished ; for the present be de clined to make any further revelations. On the night of the 23d of November, 1S0, there assembled in St, George's Hall, in London, three members of the English cabinet, four gentlemen well known iu tho scientific world, two prominent French men, and two Italians eleven in all, ex clusive of Mr. Klongcr. At the earnest solicitation of that gentleman, these per sons had come to meet they knew not whom, and see they knew not what. On the platform at tho end of the hall lay a small cannon, a heavy piece of iron shaft ing, and several large irou wheels. What these articles were there for they could not imagine. At half-past eight o'clock the young man arrived and was introduc ed by Mr. Iilongcr as a young American friend who wished not to have his name announced. The stranger was dressed in a rough suit, some the worse for wear, and wore a slouched hat. His hair was brown and :t aight, his eyes woic large and of brightg a color,;and his face was as desti tute of beard as a woman's. He was above the medium height and very slender, and was apparently about twenty-four years, though ho might have been older. lie was evidently but little useil to the society of distinguished jicrsons, and at first ap peared somewhat embarrassed at his posi tion, but there was an expression of firm ness about his mouth that showed a strong will and a manly habit of having his own way. When he spoke il was w iih the air of a man who knew the ground upon which he stood, and his manners wero those of one who felt that ho wits the inferior of no man. The janitor having been dismissed and the door locked, Mr. Iilongcr proceeded to explain to those picscnt why he had called them togethar. His young Ameri can friend, he said, had convinced him that lie was in the os.session of a prodigi ous secret, of the magnitude of which they cotild judge when it was presented to them. Tho whole affair at this point :amc near being broken off by an unexpected require ment which the unknown stranger exact ed. Ho declined to proceed unless all present entered into au agreement not to communicate what they might witness to any living person for a period of ten yeais, without gaining his consent. Tho ltight Honorable G was on his mettle at once. He washed his hands of the whole matter and desired to retire immediately. The other members were equally indig nant, and expressions not considered ele gant in high .society wero heard. It re quired all Mr. lilongcr's sagacity to quell the storm. But the young man was im movable, and at last, at tho earnest solici tation of Mr. Bloiigcr, the guarantee was given. The stranger then tiok the stage, ami the auditors the seats immediately iu front of it. 'Gentlemen," he began, 'Trom what I have noticed of your incredulity this even ing, I am satisfied that if I should h. form you that tho attraction of gravitation could bo bo suspended that objects non the earth's surface would have absolutely no weight, and further that I was in oRsessiou of the simple means whereby tit is could bo accomplished, you would only greet my as sertions with jeers and ridicule. I shall therefore show you what I can do first and talk afterwards. You see in my bands this coil of wire, blue like t cm j a? red :leel. This cannon weighs nearly three tons. I wrap tho wire around it. If you listen carefully you will hear a burling sound, similar to that made by an electrical ma chine. But that has nothing to do with the matter. The ends of tho wire ate joined. This cannon now weighs no moro than a soap bubble. You see I move it about through the air with my har.d, with two fingers, with one. .Hero is a strong oaken chair. I place the cannon upon it, and when I withdraw tho wire mark the result. Tho chair goes crashing to pieces on tho floor, under three tons of Iron." This conclusive proof of the grandest discovery ever yet made by man brought ever, person to his feet. The young ex hibitor alone remained unmoved. "How is it done?" cried they all. "How did you .make this wonderful discovery?" They now 1 'kcd upon him with the awe one feels in the presence of a superior lieing. Ho raised his hand and requested silence. "The action of this simple wire," he Mid, "is not cor.fmed to metallic substances. Its e fleets on all objects are the same. I put. it ronid this winiden bench, as yon sec, and the bench weighs nothing; around this chair and the result is the same. Here is this large iron shaft and these wheels. Yon perceive that it effects all alike. 1'er hnps you think it has r.o jower ovct living substances. You six iuirt;'.!.en. I wil' agree to put this little piece of w ire round my waist and step from the dome of St. Paul's. I will show you." A ladder extended from the floor to the lofty ceiling cf the ball. The stranger climbed to its very summit, adjusted his belt and sprang boldly off. He slowly un clasped the ends of the wire, so that tbey scarcely came in contact, and descended gradually and safely to the ground, to the infinite relief of tlie spectators, who gazed horror-stricken at the scene. "Thus, you see, gentlemen," said be, "what powers lie bidden in nature, until they are accidentally stumbled upon. You ; all think that there is some power con- J taincd in this wire. I must tell you that tho wire has but little to do with it. And ' yet I will agree to go down to any of your sea ports, and put this wire, or one like it, ; around any of your old seventy-four gun ship of which we read and lift it into a dry ' dock, with a line no stronger than pack- ' thread, if the wind is not blowing at the time. This wire, at which you all gaze so ! curiously, has no power in itself. It is only the means of communicating a power ; I still no man shall examine it except on certain conditions; and this brings me to the point I intended to make by calling gen- ' tlemcii of your high standing and intclli- ' gciice ucro lo-nignr. i wisll to sell my knowledge to the English government." "And why to the government?" cried the Rt. Hon. B. I and the Hon. Mr. S , in a breath. "Because no privato individual is rich enough to buy it. I onco thought to dis pose of it to my own government that of . the United States but I shall not enter j into the reason why I abandoned that idea ' and came here. Besides, it becomes pub- : lie pi-oiici ty in ten years. I would not agree to sell the right uude: any other con ditions for a longer time. The benefits of the discovery is universal, and in justice belongs to inaukiud, and mankind shall have them." Sa:d a member of the Cabinet : "Your idea of selling such a discovery to the gov- , emmcnt of Great Britian seemes chimeri cal ; and, I may add, it savors of selfish- I ness to keep your knowledge from the world. But, may 1 be ticrmitted to ask how much you demaud for your knowl edge ?" Hero the young man rose to bis foct in an excited manner. "You talk of selfish ness," said he, "I know what it is to labor and to sufFer, to be lost amid mountains, and be tormented with thirst upon deserts. JI have labored hundreds of feet underground with pick and shovel for my daily bread. I tired of it ; I sworo off. I bold iu my i possession what will make me independent ' for life, besides conferring inestimable benefits on my fellow-men, and I intend to use il so far. Selfishness indeed I What did Morse or Fulton make from their in- 1 vent ions, except what was given them as chari'y, after they let their knowledge go , out of their heads? No charity for me. I hold my discovery alone, and I w ill part wilh it only on my own terms. You ask me what I demand for it. I waut $5,000,- ! 000." j "Five millions is a rather largo sura," Prof. T ventured to remark. j "A large sum! Have you taken into consideration what this discovery is des- i titled to accomplish ! Why, I tell you, it ' will revolutionize the world. Take tho dock yards of Great Britain alono. What, think you, w ill be the saving in otto year when every object, from the greatest to the smallest, can bo moved to any distance without expense?
