THE IRON VAULT.
TALE OF A SAN FEANCISCO LOCKSMITH
I ern 'a blacksmith by trade. My
calling is a strange one, and possesses
a certain fascination rendering it one
of the most agreeable,pursuits.
ny who follow it see 'nothing but la
bor—think of nothing in it but its
returns of gold or silver. To me it
has other charms than the money it
produces. lam called upon, almost
daily, to open doors and peer into
long neglected apartments; to spring
stubborn locks of safes,und gloat up
on treasures piled within, to quietly
enter the apartments of ladies with
more beauty than discre:ion, and pick
the locks of 'drawers containing peace •
destroying missives that the danger.
oils evidences of wandering affection
may not reach the eye of a husband,
or father, in possession of the missing
key; to force the fastenings of cash
boxes, and - depositories of records,
telling of men made rich, of corpora
tions plundering, of orphans robbed,
of families ruined. Is there no charm
in all this?—no food for speculation
—no scope for the range of pleasant
fancy? Then who , would not be a
locksmith, though his face is begrim
med with the soot of the forge, and
his hands are stained with rust?
But have a story to tell—not ex.
actly a story either—for a story im
plies the completion as well as the be
ginning of a narrative—and mine is
scarcely the introduction to one.—
Let him who deals in things of fancy
write the rest. In the spring of 1856
—I think it was in April—l. opened
a little shop on Kearny street, and
soon worked myself into a lair busi
ness. Late one evening, a lady, close- -
1y veiled, entered my shop, and",pull
ing from beneath her cloak a small
japanned box, 'requesting me to open
it. The lock was curiously construct
ed, and I was all of an hour fitting it.
The lady seemed nervous -at •the de
lay, and at length requested me to
shut the door. I was a little sur
prised at the suggestion, but of course
complied. Shutting the door and re
turning to my work, the lady with
drew her veil, and disclosed as sweet
a face as can well be imagined. There
was a restlessness in her eye and a
pallor in the cheek which told of a
heart ill at ease, and in a moment ev
ery emotion for her had given place
to that of pity.
'Perhaps you are not well, mad
ame, and the night air is too chilly 7'
said I, rather inquisitively.
I felt a rebuke in her reply ;.'in 'in •
queSting you to close the door,
no other object in view than to e:
the attention of the passers' - •
I did not reply, but thoughtfully
continued my work. She resumed—
. 'That the little box contains valua
ble papers, and I have lost the key,
or it has been stolen. I should not
wish to have '; •' - ••remember that I
ever came h- n errand,' she
continued, hesitation, and
giving, me was no diffi
cult 'thatte , erstand.
-..etrtarnly, madame, if you desire
it. if -I cannot forget your face, I
will at least attempt to lose the recol
lection of over seeing it here'
The lady bowed rather coldly at
what I considered a fine compliment,
and I proceeded with my work, sat
isfied that a suddenly discovered par
tiality for me had nothing to do with
the visit. Raving succeeded after
much filing and fitting, in turning
the •lock, I was seized with :a curiosity
to get a glimpse at the precious con
tents of the box, and suddenly rais
ing the lid, discovered a bundle of
letters and a daguerreotype, as I slow
ly passed the casket to its owner.—
She seized it hurriedly, and placing
the letters and pictures in her pocket,
locking the box, and drawing the veil
over her face, pointed to the door.—
I opened it, and as she passed into
the street, she merely whispered,
'Remember!' We met again, and I
have been thus particular in describ
ing her visit to' the shop, to render''
probable a subsequent recognition.
About two o'clock one morning, in
the latter part of May following, I
was awoke by a gentle tap on the
window of a little room back of the
shop, in which I lodged. Thinking
of burglars,l sprang out of bed, and
in a moment was at the window with
a- heavy hammer in my band, which
I usually kept at that time •within
convenient reach of my bedside.
'Who's there I' I inquired, raising
the hammer and peering out into the
darkness --for it was as dark as Egypt
when uticler the curse of Israel's God.
'Hist exclaimed the figure, step
ping in ('front of the window; 'open
the dooi; k have business with you'
"Rattler past business hours, I
should E!ity ; but who are you ?"
'No one that would berth you,' re
turned the voice which I imagined
was rather feminine for a burglar.
'No one that can I replied rather
emphatically, -as a warning, as I tight
ened my grip on the hammer, and
proceeded to the door. I pushed back
the boli, , and slolly opened the door,
discovered the stranger already on
the steps.
'What do you Want P I abruptly
inquired,,
wilt tell yeti; answered the same
soft voice: l itytiudaratil,ope*th6,dr
wide enough for me to enter.'
'Corn() in,' said I, throwing the door
ajar, and proceeding to light a can
dle. Having succeeded, I turned to
examine the visitor. He wasa small,
neatly dressed gentleman, with a
heavy Raglan round! his shoulders,
and a blue navy cap drawn suspicious
ly over his eyes. AS 1 advanced to
wards him, he seemed to hesitate a
moment, ca raised the cap from
his forehead ) and hioked me curiously
in the face. I Minot drop the can
dle, but I acknowlidge to a little net...
vousness as I blirriedly placed the
light upon a tahlei and silently pro
ceeded to invest nyself with two or
three articles of (clothing. As the
Lord liveth, my visitor was a lady,
and,the same for cihom-I had opened
the little box about a month before
Having completed' my hasty toilet,
I attempted to staimer an apology
for my rudeness, lilt utterly failed.—
The fact is, I was confounded.
Smiling at myi discomfiture, she
said—
'Disguise is usOss; I presume you
know me ?'
'I believe I Old you, madam, 1
should not forget our face. In what
way can I serve you?'
'By doing halfan hour's work be
fore day-light tomorrow and receiv
ing five bundredAollars for your la
bor,' was the reply.
'llia not ordinWry work,' said 1, in
quiringly, 'that commands so munifi
cent a compensation.'
'lt is a labor oummon to your call
ing,' returned. the lady. 'The
,price
is not so much for the labor as the
condition under which it must be
performed.
'And what is the condition P'• I in•
quired.
'That you will submit to being con
veyed frem and returned to your own
door, bllndfolded.'
Ideas of murder, burglary, and al
most every other crime known to vil
lainy, hurriedly presented themselves
in succession as I. politely bowed and
said—
I must understand something more
of the character of the employment,
as well as the conditions, to accept
your offer'
'Will not five hundred dollars an
swer in lieu of any explanation ?' she
inquired.
'No, nor five thousand.'
She patted her foot nervously on
the floor. I could see she had placed
entirely too low an estimate on my
bonesty,,and I felt
_some gratification
in being able to convince her of the
fact.
'Well, then, if it is absolutely nec•
essary for me to explain,' she replied,
'I must tell you that you are required
to pick the lock of a vault, and—"
'You have gone quite far enough,
madame, with the explanation,' I in
terrupted ; R am not at your service.'
'As I said,' she continued, you- are
required to pick the lock of a vault,
and rescue from death a man who has
been confined there for three days.'
'To whom does the - vault belong?'
:inquired.
'My husband,' was the somewhat
reluctant reply.
'Then why so much secrecy?—or
rather how came a man in such a
place ?' •
secreted him there to escape the
observation of my husband. He sus
pected as much and closed the door
upon him. Presuming he had left
the vault and quitted the house by
the back door, I did not dream, until
to-day, that he was confined there.--
Certai n suspicious acts of my husband,
this afternoon, convinced me that the
man is there beyond human hearing,
and will be starved to death by my
barbarous husband unless immediate
ly rescued. I 'drugged' him less than
an hour ago, and he is now so com
pletely stupefied that the lock may be
picked without his interference. I
have searched his pockets, but cannot
find the key; hence my application
to you. Now you know all; will yon
accompany us V
'To the end of the world, madame,
on such an errand. •
'Then prepare yourself; there is a
cab waiting at the door!
I was a little surprised, for I had
not heard the sound of the wheels.—
Hastily drawing : on a coat acid pro
viding myself with the requisite im
plement, 1 was soon at the door.—
There, sure enough, was a cab, with
the driver in his seat, ready for the
mysterious journey—l entered the
vehicle followed by the lady. As soon
as I was seated she produced a heavy
handkerchief which by the faint light
of a street lamp, she carefully bound
round my eyes. The lady seated
herself beside me, and the cab start
ed. In half an hour the vehicle stop
ped—in what part of the city I am
entirely ignorant as it was evidently
driven in anything but a direct course
from the point of starting.
Examintng the banding, to see
that my vision was, completely ob
scured, the lady handed me the bun
dle of tools with which I was provi.
ded, then taking me by the arm, led
me through a gate into a house which
I knew was .brick, and after taking
- me along .a passage way that could
not have less than fifty feet in length,
and down a flight of stairs into what
was evidently an underground base
ment, stopped beside a vault remo
ved the handkerchief from my eyes.
'Here is the vault; open, it,' said
she, springing to the door with a dark
lantern, and throwing a beam upon
the lock.
I seized a bunch of skeleton keys,
and after a few trialS, which the lady
seemed to. watch with the most in.
tense anxiety, sprung the bolt.. The
door swung upon the hinges, and my
-companion, telling me not to elm it,
as z ►t-watt .
sprung into the,
vault:` "Viten& Al lbw; +heard the

'Remain here,' she said handing me
the lantern; 'I

The two slowly ascended the stairs,
and I heard them enter immediately
above where 1 was standing. In leas
than a minute the lady returned.

placing my hand upon the door of the
door of the vault,
'NO 1 ! no !' she exclaimed hastily,
seizing my arm ; 'it awaits another
occupant!'
'Madame, you certainty do not in.

'Are you ready?' she interrupted,
holding the handkerchief before my
eyes. The thought flashed across my
mind that she intended to push toe
into the vault and bury me and my
seeret together. She seemed to read
the Suspicion, and continued: 'Do not
be alarmed; you are not the man
I could not mistake the truth orate
fearful meaning of the remark, and 1
shuddered es I bent my head to the
handkerchief. My eyes were as care

led to the cab, and thence driven home
by a Toute,if possible longer than the
one by which we came. Arriving in

the handkerchief
was removed, and ('stepped from the
vehicle. A purse of five hundred dol

occupant had turned a corner, and
were out of sight.
I entered the shop, and the purse
of gold was the only evidence !could
summon, in my bewilderment, that
all I had just done and witnessed was
not a dream.
A month after that I saw the lady
and gentleman taken from the vault,
leisurely walking along Montgomery
street. Ido not know, but I believe
the sleeping husband awoke within
that vault, and his bones are there
to-day. The wife is still a resident

A LOVING GIRL THREE YEARS
BEFORE THE MAST.
A fine looking, bright eyed girl of
sixteen years was on Friday last
placed under the protection of Miss
Foster, the Matron of the City Pris
on, New York. Her ease presents
features of an interesting character.
Her name is Bridget Dokay, and her
parents still live in the city of Dublin,
which is her native place. The par
ticulars of her career were given by
herself, with such an air of modest
truthfulness that no one .would wish
to question her veracity. She stated
that when thirteen years of age she
became acquainted with a worthy
young man named Kelly, a carpen-

parents, who were well to do prudent

of hor youth, and prevailed on the
young man to leave the neighbor.
hood, giving him a fit-out of sloo.
His departure grieved her, and she
determined to follow him. After a
lapse of a few months she learned
that he had procured employment on
board a vessel as ship's carpenter, and
that he sailed out of Liver Pool. Thith
er she repaired as quickly as she ob
tained the moans, but only to learn
that Kelly's vessel had a few days
previous sailed for New York. The
damsel was disappointed, but desire
to see her truant lover was not con
quered. She immediately procured a
suit of sailor boy's clothing when
she discarded her own girlish attire,:
add then shipped under the name of
Edward Johnson, as cabin boy for a
trip to New York whither she arriv
ed, but still failed -to accomplish the
purpose she had undertaken.
Friendless and without means, af
ter she had been here n week or two,
it became necessary that she should
obtain omploymentand notwithstand
ing the hardships to which she had
been subjected on first voyage, there
was a certain fascination about a sail
or's life which induced her to follow
it. So for three years she has been
voyaging from port to port, two of
which were passed in the capacity of
cabin boy, and the third as an able
seaman, her robust constitution ena

and perform the varied daties of her
lot as well as the best man on, hoard.
During all this time, notwithstanding
an evident refinement of:manner not

and delicacy of appearance; which
ought to have betrayed her sex, her
secret was never discovered. She
performed her duty so well that her

WHAT AN UMBRELLA INDICATES.—
Thol . o is a good deal of truth in the
following paragraph, as our readers
will detect and acknowledge:
"An umbrella, it is. said, can, be
taken as .a test of character. The
man who takes an umhrella out with
him is a cautious fellow, who shuns
all speculation, and is pretty sure to
die rich The man who is always
leaving his umbrella behind him, is
one who generally makes no provision
for tomorrow. He ie reckless, thought
less, always late for the train, leaves
the street door open when he goes
home late at night, and is absent to
such a degree, as to speak ill of a bat
by in the presence of its mother.
"The man who is always losing his
umbrella is an unlucky dog, w hose
bills are - always protested, whose boots
split, whcme gloves..track, whoSe

change, is sure to have some bad mon
ey in it. Be careful how you lend a
hundred dollars to such a man. The
Man who is perpetually expressing a
nervous anxiety about his umbrella,
wondering if it, is safe, is full of noon,.
siness and : low suspicion. Let him
be ever so rich, give him not your
daughter."
THE Day TORTUGAS.—There are
doubtless some of our readers who
see in .the papers that mutineers have
been sent to the "Dry Tortuuss,"'but
have rather an indefinite idea as to
what sort of place it may be. This
locality to which mutinous and disor- -
derly - soldiers are sent to serve out
their term of-enlistment, is a bleak
and barren sand-key in the Gulf of
Mexico, about one hundred miles
south west from Cape Sable. It is
cheerless and uncomfortable '
desola
ted bz simooms, and peopled by yen.,
emons reptiles—decidedly one of the
most uncomfortable points to which
the Government is obliged to send its
insubordinates. The mutineers ban.
islied to Tortugas do not go as sol
diers, but as unarmed laborers, and
will be compelled to work upon arm
ed fortifications, much as penitentiary
convicts do in quarries and sandbanks.

by Lieutenant General Scott:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3; 1861. /
The General-in. Chief is happy to an
nounce that the Treasury Department, to
meet future payments to the troops, is
about to supply, besides coin, as hereto
fore, treasury notes, in fives, tens, and
twenties, as good as gold at all the banks
and Government offices throughout the
United States, and most convenient for
transmission by mail from their families at
home. Hood husbands, fathers, sons, and
brothers serving under the Stars and
Stripes, will thus soon have the ready and
safe means of relieving an immense amount
of suffering, which could not be reached_
withcoin. •
In making up such
,packages, every offi
cer. may be relied upon, no doubt. for
such assistance as may be needed by his
men.

THE SABBATH TO BE KEPT.—Gen. Mc.
Ciellan is of that Cromwellian breed of vol.
diers who put their faith in God and keep
their powder dry. He has issued the fol
lowing General Order :
HEADQUARTERS, ARMY . Or THE POTOMAC, }
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6,1861.
The Major-General commanding desires
and
r requests that in future there may be a
more perfect respect for the Sabbath on the
part of his command. We are fighting in
a holy cause, and should endeavor to de
serve the benign favor of the Creator.—
Ucless in the case of an attack by the
enemy, or some other extreme military.ne
eessity, it is commended to commanding
officers, that all work shall be suspended
on the Sabbath; that no unnecessary move
ments stall he made on that day ; that the
men shall, -as far as possible, be permitted
to rest from their labors; that they shall
attend Divine service after the customary
Sunday morning inspection, and that offi
cers and men shall alike use their influence
to insure the utmost decorum and quiet on
that day: The General commanding re
gards this as no idle form. 0 e day's rest
in seven is necessary to men and animals..
More than this, the observanceof the Holy
Day of the God of mercy and of battles is
our sacred duty.

by them. Snit was brought on behalf of
the elders. We add an extract from the
decision of the Court which will no doubi
be interesting to many of our readers:
Courts must protect the rights of minor
ities, majorities can generally take care or
themselves, but it is the paramount duty of
' Courts of Equity, to oblige trustees to
aithfully perform their trusts, although we
have no doubt, but that the trustees of the•
Church believed they stood as the repre-
B o o t tives of an independent congregation
and had a right to select Mr. Colder as
their pastor, and that (he) in like manner
believed that being selected by St majority
of the congregation, he had a right to of
