BY THE LATE MRS, MART A. FOKD-VSA.
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.

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? How loi-.g will it take
to build j our largest edifices when your j
blocks of marble weigh nothing? Ob, !
gentlemen, when you have considered this ;
Mihjcct as I have done yon will stand over-
powered with the magnitude of ihe results
that are to follow. Think of its effect on
the means of transportation. When thero j
is no weight to carry may not even the air '
bo navigated ?" j
"Do you object to informing us how you .
happened to discover this mighty, mysteri
ous secret of nature ?'
"Mysterious 1 Why, it is so simple that
any child can understand it. I stumbled
upon it. Since. I hae discovered it I won
