[For the Star and Sentinel lIVIILOCK HABIL Enrron.—The new procts.B for ex tracting the tanning properties of hemlock bark is beginning to attract public attention, and well it may, for there are few subjects for newspaper discussion which directly af fect a larger portion of the community.— Having while in Mains examined and wit nessed the operation of the only machine completed and in working order under the hying patent, I will giro a brief description of it, only premising that in its successful workit:g, the must extravagant anticipae tions or its - frieuds have been realized Last spring my attention was called to the subject of obtaining the astringent pro perties of hemlock bark (which many are aware arc used so extensively by tanners in the manufacture of leather,) by a process hitherto unknown to the trade. In June I visited Boston, and formed the acquaint_ ante of Messrs. Johnson, Sherman and Ells worth, who were then superintending the construction of a machine to express the juice or tannic acid from bark. The ma chine, after months of "patience and per severance, is at last completed, and the grand result accomplished. On being conducted to the Alger Foun dry, Boston, I was shown to the depart ment where the machine was ready for operation. There is first, a hrge tank part ly filled with water heated by steam ISe de grees temperature, into which the bark just as it comes from the trees, is thrown, where it remains from twenty to thirty minutes, when it is taken out and fed, one piece at a time, to a cluster of three mas sive iron rollers set about one quarter of an inch apart, and driven by a twenty horse power engine. As the sheet of bark touches the rollers it is carried thrortgh by friction with great rapidity. In order to facilitate the "feeding," the under rollers are made to revolve faster than the upper one, which tends to crush every fibre. On passing through these rollers, the bark falls in small fragments into another tank below, which alto contains hot water. Here it is re-saturated and taken up on an elevator, (to which it is driven by a revolving sub inerged fan-wheel,) and dumped into a sec ow) cluster of rollers, pieced snug together. These rollers, made of gun metal, are solid, two feet in diameter, three feet in length, and weigh upwards of one ton each. Between this second set of rollers the bark, which by this time has become quite soft and spongy, is squeezed to the thick ness of paper, and runs out in one continu ous sheet, where it may be used for fuel, or baled up for the paper-maker, who, I was told, is alrestis using it with success for brown and rqom papers, The liquid thus obtained, if found to weigh ten pounds to the gallon, a drawn off into holders and allowed to seUle, after which it is put into barrels and is ready for market. The strength of the extract is indicated by an in strument called a "bark-ometer," construct ed upon the principle that causes an egg to float upon the surface of a pail-of lye, which served our grandmothers for lycometere when making soap. Tim demand for the article is rapidly in_ creasing, and it will find a ready market throughout every civilized country. This new invention is destined to revolutionize the tanning business, which has been con fined almost entirely to the New England States, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, because very little hemlock hark is found weft or south of these States, ppd it h as been found cheaper to carry bides to bark than bark to hides. The above order of things will now be reversed, and instead of bringing hides from every quarter of the globe to New' England to be tanned, the substance of a cord of bark, which is now worth in Boston from eighteen to twenty dollars, will be sent in a barrel to any part of the world. It is used extensively as a dye in the large cotton and woolen manufac toAes of England, Works for the manufacture of extract have been erected at various places in Mass achusetts, Maine and New Brunswick where the country is heavily wooded with 4en l ioa which hes never been culled for timber. 4±, mine of wealth is locked up in the hemlock lands of Maine and New Bruns wick. I have been all through these places, and know that it will pay to put up the works and send the extract west, to oar country, for our bark is becoming, scarce and it will be cheaper tp use !•413 one or these prickling' is capable of pro ducing tea thousand barrel's of.extract per year from as many cords of bark, which at $2.50 per cord, would distribute 8215,000 per year among the people within a ra di us of 15 miles.

' ' ore WIEST. BY AUG USIA LARNED "Roman!" exclaimed Mr. Bao, and he clasped his gray head in his hands and dropped it on the dining-table, with a mo tion of despairing helplessness. Mrs. Buel arose rind left the room. She was not strong enough to offer consolation to her bowed and stria en husband. Ellen got up, too, in sore distress, and went over to the table, and touched her father's arm with her slight, girlish fingers, on one of which sparkled a diamond ring. "Don't grieve so, dear father. It cannot be quite as bad as you think." "It is a thousand times worse, chikl, than you imagism. Every : cent of my property has been sunk in oil speculations. A mouth ago I thought myself a rich man ; but to day I am a beggar.'". Do you know what that means ?" "I only know how you sptli.r, dear lath er," said Ellen, tearfully, r•' [log down on her knees beside him ;- "an ; pity you from the bottom of my heart." "Pity yourself and your I mother." "I must think of you nos, because you feel this blow more keenly than we can. Is there nothing to hope for in the future ?" "What can I hope , tor r repeated Mr. Buel, almost querulously. "As an honora ble man, I must abandon every cent I am worth to my creditors. Nothing remains but your Uncle Lathrop's offer or a West ern agency. He has a farm out in Egypt, which he would allow us to ocupy rent free as long as we cared to stay there. It is a desolate, out-of-the-way place, ten miles or more from any town or railway station, I haven't the heart to propose such a change to your poor mother. Her nerves are terri bly shattered already." "It would be a thousand times better to go out there and live independently," said Ellen catching at the plan, "than to starve genteelly here in New York, or to live on airy of our relatiens. The boys are grow ing up, and a few years of genuine country life will not injure them. Fortunately, I have just finished school, and am blessed with excellent health. Mother is the only one to be considered ; and I think Lean win her over to the plan." "You little know, child, what you are consenting to," said Mr. Buel, in a softened tone, as he touched Ellen's forehead pity ingly. "You will be cut off from every so cial advantage, and doomed to hard work and all manner of privations." "I would gladly work for you, father," cried Ellen, impudsively. "You have screened and sheltered me ever since I was born, and studied in every way to make me happy. It is high time that I begin to pay you back ; acklet us think about going West, as soon as we can sell the house and wind up matters here." "You area good girl, Ellen, and I lean on you, in thla hour of trouble, more than on anybody else. Perhaps I never should have found out what a brave, strong heart you carry in your bosom, if we had lived cm, prosperous and happy." Ellen Buel had heretofore scarcely shown herself different from other New York girls of her clliss. Born and brought up in the city, with luxurious surroundings, and no care for the morrow, her girlish tastes had bloomed in a kindly air. There were a thousand pleasures, a thousand agreeable excitements at hand. Each season brought the dressmaker and au inundation of new goods, and Ellen was meicured and fitted for becoming and pretty dresses, of which she felt no scorn. Fur 'cacti summer vaca tion:a trip was planned to Cape May, Sara toga, or the White fountains. Life was like a fairy book. She was fond of school, and came forth with a bran-new parchment diploma, a smattering of the sciences and of one or two modem languages, but uo available knowledge of any branch of learn ing. s Ellen had never bothered her head about great aims and aspirations.. She ex pected to appear in society like other girls, and by and by to marry, and settle down in a home.of her own. Such was Ellen Bud when ruin over whelmed her father. Being the eldest of the family, she had always lived like a hoarder at home—not even dusting her own pretty room, with its pictures and nick nacks. There were four sops below her. Three of them - were away at boarding school; and the _youngest, a curly-pated darling, was scarcely out of frocks. For the first time now Ellen took her natural place in the family, and decided, with a promptness and energy no one had dreamed of her possessing, that the remov al.out West should be accomplished as speedily as possible. Mrs. Buers nerves would not allow her to think or apt, She retired to bed, had the room darkened, and every breath of fresh air rigorously exclud- ed. Mr. Bud was dunned by the blow, and Ellen was obliged to be head and hands for everybody. Before the day of the auc tion sale came round she had disposed of her watch and diamond ring, both of them birthday presents; and a friend bid in for her a few of the articles 'her mother most highly prized. It was a cold, drizzly evening late iu the Fall when the Buel family assembled at the cars in Jersey City, prepared to take their flight into Egypt. Mrs." Buel eat In the sleeping-car, with her handkerchief pressed to her eyes, surrounded by a few condoling friends. The healthy animal spirits of the boys made a little breeze through the place, while they stowed away their bags and bun dleu, Life in the Weitern wilds, as they pictured it, did not seem so dreadful after all. Fred, the eldest, strapped up his gun case, containing a capital rifle, which his Uncle Lathrop had given him, with visions of wild-turkey shooting and buffalo-hunts, htllea had hung her hat up ou a book, and made herself at home.

After ward Charley puled out his note-book, and wrote clown a post-ottke address with special care; and then there was warm hand-shaking all round,until the last screech of the steam-whistle gave him notice to de part. Some weeks later we see Ellen establish ed in her new aLcdc—a staring, boardy, unpainted pine tenement, dropped by acci dent, as it seemed, on the brown waste of the prairie. Nothing more desolate can well be imagined. The frost was l.•,te in closing In this year. The roads were still deep with mire. Everything was contam inated with black mud. Taken from the heart of the geart city, teeming with life, the Burls Were stranded ou the treeless, flat prairie, with its monotonous horizon, and here and there a corn-stack or an Irish cab in vissble from the windows. As soon as the moving from the distant railway-station was partially over, Mr. Buel departed on a collecting tour f or the New York mercantile firm which had employed him. He left Ellen what little money he could spare; then he clasped her close in his arms. "Be a good girl, Ellen, and comfort your mother. I might better have died long ago than have lived to lay this burden on your young shoulders." "How can you say such dreadful words, father, when it is only money that we have lost? There are better things in this world than money, though I don't despise it.— Mother will come up, I am sure, as soon we get put to rights; and, for my part, lam of so much importance to everybody just now, I could not-be unhappy. if I should try." The parting over, Ellen sat down and cried; and then she washed the red from her eyes, and went into her mother's room. It was the best the ill-contrived, frail dwell ing afforded ; and she had fitted it up with the few comfortable and luxurious articles brought from their old city home. Mrs. Buel lay in a demitsvilight, utterly prostra ted and with her eyes closed. "Cheer up, mother," said Ellen, taking her white, listless hand and fondling it.— "Mrs. O'Rooney, our next neighbor, has been in this morning, with offers of assist ance. She has promised to show me how to boil a potato and to make corn-bread.— Her skill doesn't go much beyond that point, I imagine; but Miss Beecher's cookery-book will prove my good fairy, and before long you shall have something to tempt your poor appetite. " "It is dreadful," moaned Mrs. Buel, "to think of your doing the work of a servant." "Oh, no! it isn't a bit dreadful," re sponded Ellen, with vivacity. "Every day I um learning something new, and I quite enjoy it. I have found out what a splendid thing it is to be useful. Any kind of work can be made pleasant if we go about it in the right spirit. The boys are very hope ful, and I see how I am going to gain great influence over them. Arthur has promised to wipe the dishes for me every day ; and I, in turn, have agreed to practice singing with him. So you see, we shall forget its drudgery, and turn it into a kind of jubi lee." "What a singular girl yon are, Ellen You don't appear to have the least consid eration for your hands. They will soon be red and coarse." "I wouldn't mind if they grew as rough as nutmeg-graters," said Ellen, cheerfully, "it they are only able to weave a spell that shall bring back the smiles to your face." Mrs. Buel closed her eyes with au injur ed air; and the brave young girl tripped away to attend to the duties of the kitchen. Her pretty, fashionably-made dresses had never been unpacked. Her dainty gloves, hats, and laces were lying buried in the depths of a Saratoga trunk. Ellen adopted the custom of the country, and went about in a calico dress, a blanket shawl, and woolen hood. The older boys were out of doors most of the time, attending to a small drove of cat tle that roamed at large over the barniess prairie. The house was so badly contrived for work or comfort, the poor girl was sore ly put to it to know how to eiist at all.— The rooms were destitute of cupboards or closets; great cracks ventilated the aide walls, and let in dangerous draughts and currents of al; the roof leaked, the chim ney smoked, sulked, or utterly refused to draw. Mm - looney, in spite of her proud position as an independent Hoosier e wife did condescend occasionally to do a day's washing for the Buels ; not so much for Ellen's pay as for her pleasant, friendly ways, and because she had offered to teach her shock-headed boy to read. Mail-day, which came semi-occasionally, with its shower of letters and periodicals from the great world, always caused im- mense excitement at the lonely Egyptian farm-house. Now and then there arrived a missive which Ellen read alone by her self, and then laid away with a bunch of dried flowers. It was noticeable for a whole thy thereafter that her feet tripped about as if keeping time I.* some delicious measure beating in her heart. Later in the year the terrible prairie winds brought storms and whirling drifts of snow. One morning Ellen woke with little spikelets of ice formed by her breath rtpon the pillow ; and hear.l the poor, unhoised cattle moaning about the door. At this time she wrote,as follows to a friend in New York : "We have had the Egyptian plague of mud, and now we are suffering from the bitter cold. As I look at the vast, white, heaving sea that surrounds us, I sometimes fancy myself in the Polar regions, with Dr. Kane.

What are peplums and chignons ?" Almost two years had sped away since that wet, dismal evening when Ellen took leave of her city hOme. She was still the good angel of the Egyptian farm-house; for Mrs.. Bnel continued feeble and spirit-. less, and the burdens of life rested upon her shoulders. If anything, Ellen was gentler, kinder, and porbapa a little more quiet than of old. The prospects of the Bnel family were brightening. The father had secured a good situation for Fred in Cincinnati, and the way seemed opening for the removal of the entire family to that pleasant Western city in less than a year.— Ellen ought fo have been very glad; but somehow her heart was ill at ease. The little pile of letters beside the withered nosegay in her pretty satin-wood box had not ium eased for three months past. One evening, just at dusk, in the hazy Indian Summer weather, when the larger boys were off shooting prairie chickens, Ellen sat milking her favorite cow, Brindle Bess, behind the corn-stack. A great yel low moon was beginning to gain a little power over the wide plain. • "'Tele, Arthur," said she, hearing a step near her, "take this pail to the house." A hand was stretched forth; but it was not Arthur's hand, and the stalling, bearded face of Charley Morton vas revealed to her gaze. "Oh ! Charley," she cried, a little thrown off her guard, "how glad I am you have come at last" I will not say positively; but I am afraid Charley committed the impropriety of put ing his arms around Ellen and printing a kiss on her pips. At any rate, when the young men returned to Now York, she had promised to be his wife ; and he has thought more gently and kindly of women—even of the frivolous and aimless crowd—ever since. THE CAVALRY OFFICES'. Colonel Eugene Merville was an attache of Napoleon's staff. He was a soldier in the true sense of the word—devoted to his profession and brave as a lion. Though very handsome, and of fine bearing, he was of humble birth—a mere child of the camp —and had followed the horn and bugle from boyhood. Every step in the line of promo tion had been won by the stroke of his sabre ; and his promotion to major of cav arly was for a gallant deed which transpired on the battle-field beneath the Emperor's own eye. Murat, that prince of cavalry officers, loved him like a brother, and taught him all that his own good taste and natural instinct had not led him to acquire before. ' It was the carnival season in Paris, and young Met vile found himself at the mask ed ball in the French Opera House. Bet ter adapted in his taste to the field than to the boudoir:, he flirts but little with the gay figures that cover the floor, and joins but seldom in the giddy waltz. But at last, while standing thoughfully, and regarding the assembled throng with a vacant eye, his attention was aroused by the appearance of a person in white satin domino, the univer sal elegance of whose figure, manner and bearing convinced all that her face and mind must be equal to her person fur grace and loveliness. Though in so mixed an assembly, still there was a dignity and reserve in the manner of the white doinino that rather re pulsed the idea of a familiar address, and it was some time before the young soldier found courage enough to speak to her. Some alarm being given, there was a vio lent rush or the throng toward the door, where, unless assiated, the lady would have materially suffered. Eugene Meryllle offers his arm, and with his broad shoulders and stout frame, wards off the danger. It was a delightful moment. The lady spoke the purest French, and was witty, fanciful and captivating. "A.h ! lady, pray raise that mask, and re veal to me the charms of feature that must accompany so sweet a voice and so graceful a form as you possess." "You would perhaps be disappointed." "tio, I am sure not." "Are you so very confident ?" "Yes, I felt that you aro beautiful. It cannot b otherwise." "Don't be to sure of that," said the domi no. "Have you never heard of the Irish poet Moore'a story of the veiled prophet of Khorassan—how when he disclosed his countenance, its hideous aspect killed his beloved one? How do you know that I shall not turn out a Filed prophet of Kho- ruJsan r' "Ab, lady, your every word convinces me to the contrary," replied the enraptured soldier, whose heart began to feel as it had never felt before—he was already in love. She eludes his efforts at discovery; per mits him to hand her to her carriage, which drives off in the darkness, and though he throws himself upon his fleetest horse, he is unable to oTertake her. The young French colonel becomes moody ; he has lost his heart and knows not what to do. He wanders hither and thither, shuns his former places of amuse ment, avoids his military companions, and in short, is as miserable as a lover can be, thus disappointed. One night, just after he had left his hotel, on foot, a flgure, muffled to the ears stop ped him. WEAL Monster, what would you with rue V asked the soldier. "You would know the name of the white domino V was the reply. "I would !" replied the officer hastily. "How can It be done f" "Follow me." "To the end of the earth, if it will bring me to her." "But you must be blindfolded." "Very well." "Step Into this vehicle." "1 am at your command." And away rattled the young soldier and his strange companion. "This may be a trick," reasoned gni:cone Merylile, `l3Ol. I hay.e no fear of personal violenoe. I am armed with this trusty satire stud can take care of Myself. But there was no cause for fear, since he soon found the vehicle stopped, and he was led blindfolded into the house. When the bandage was removed from his eyes, he found himself in a riohly fOrnished boudoir, and before Wm stood the domino, just as he had met her at the mask ball. To fall upon his knees and tell her how mach he thought •of her since their separation, that his thoughts had never left her, and that he loved her devotedly, was as natural as to breathe, and he did so most gallantly and sincerely. !Quill I believe what you say ?"

Suddenly, Ite,was ordered to an embassy to Vienna, the gayw.t of all the European capitols, about the time that Napoleon is planning to marry the Duchess bfaria Louisa. The young Colonel is hand some, manly and already distinguished in arms, and het:times at once A great favorite at court; every effort being. made by the women to captivate him, but in vain ; he is constant and true to his vow. But his heart was not made of stone ; the very fact that he hid itutertalued such ten der feelings fur the white thunino, has, doubtless, made him more susceptible thin before. At last, he met the young baroness, Car oline Von Waldoz If, and, to spite of his vows, she captivates him, and he secretly curses the engagment he has so blindly made at Paris. She stems to wonder at what she Leheves to be his devotion and yet the distance he maintains. The truth was that his sense of honor was too great, that though he felt that he really loved the young baroness, and even that she returned his affection, still ho had given his word and it was sacred. The satin domino is no longer the ideal of Lis heart, but assumes the most repulsive form in his imagination, and becomes, in place of his good angel—Lis evil genius Well, time rolls on; he is to return In a few days ; it is once more the carnival sea son, and in Vienna, too, that great city. He joins in the feature of the masked ball, and what wonder fills his brain, when, about the middle of the evening, the white domino steals before him, in the same sat in dress he had seen her wear a year before at the French Opera House at Paris. Was it not a fancy come,Culoncl Eugene 3icrville, to Uhl you to your promise," she said, laying he•r hand lightly on Lis arm. "Is this a reality or a dream?" aske.l the amazed soldier. "Come, follow me, and you shall gee that it is a reality," continued the mask pleas antly. "I will." "brave you been faithful to your pro mise ?" asked the domino, as they retl&e.l into n "Most truly in act, but alas! I fear not in heart." "Indeed 3" "It is too true, lady, that I have seen and loved another, though my vow to you has kept me from saying so to her." "And who is this that you thus love V' "I will be frank with you, and you wil keep my secret ?" "Most religiously." "It is the baroness Von Waldorf, " he said with a sigh. "And you really love her?" "Alas! only too dearly," said the soldier sadly. "lireverthelesi, I must hold you to your promise. Here is the other half of the ring; can you produce its mate ?" "Hero it is," raid Eugene. Meryllle. "Then I, too, keep my promise:" said the domino raising her mask and showing to his astonished view the face of Baroness Von Waldorff. it was the .sympathy of true love that attracted me, after all," exclaimed the young soldier, as he pressed her to his heart. She had seen and loved him for his manly spirit and diameter, and having found by inquiry that he was worthy of her love, she had managed this delicate intrigue, and had tested him, and now gave to him her wealth, title and everything. They were married with great pump, and accompanied the arch-duchess to .P..aris.— Napoleon, to crown the happiness of his favorite, made him at once General of Di vision.
