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

"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. She was talking to
Charley Norton ; and during the last min

and he bent his tall person down toward
Ellemjn,sbyltispered some earliest words,
which brought a bright flush Into her cheeks,
while a little bouquet of Le Mark rosebuds
and heliotrope MI upon her lap. 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. The walls of our frail castle are
draped with the oddest kind of tapestry—

"Felt rue all about the fashions when yon
write. 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

"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.

"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

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.

Napoleon is planning to marry the Duchess

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

doubtless, made him more susceptible thin

At last, he met the young baroness, Car

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.

sadly.

the domino raising her mask and showing

young soldier, as he pressed her to his

She had seen and loved him for his manly

had managed this delicate intrigue, and had
