It was on Wednesday evening. I
had been that afternoon to the Globe
to•see-Clatule Melnotte" performed,
and on 'My way homeward I stopped
in at Lanciford's, on Sunbury street,
to look at an old:violin:. Langford
was tipalvioliroker...and I had knoWn
him fi. years:: and. moreover, he was
a good sort (of a fellow, ;Ind loved:to
tall: iof the old times. I looked at
hie NiOlin, and after due
onalko'i up my mind that either he
must •have misunderstood or misrep
resented the Herr Von Schweitzen
',chef who load left in pawn. or, that
said -ion Schweitzenpelter had t4hl
an untruth. Considering that Lang
no-(1 was in old acquaintance 1 pi•c
ferrid to think that Von Schweitzen
'ocher was the deceiver; and having
put 'the viol lack into its case, and
seen the ease put awa . 7 - ; I took a seat
by tin.• st4ve, and entered into con

\Ye had been thu4 enera , red but a
short tittle WI en a lady entered. She
was :klressed in black, and closely

the little coulter ,Langdon went to

back corner; whence 1 could 10(kk
over the counter: and whon,the

had not 'se.'-en me, ihOiigh she had cet
think- !danced around the otlice with
a view-toascertain she were alone
with 'the' pawnbroker. As I have=
said, I saw her face: and I knew it
for Inc lace of a woman who had,
lived very near to me for

spokt n woman, from forty to flirty
live years of age, and those who had

her. in the highest terms.. Shit had
hired a small tenement—or, rather,
part ... of a itcnement—down at the
I.;ack Cove,l where she lived in quiet
sa-hision . . the only other member of
her family being a daughter, of ei‘rht,

when lie die,l lie left it for—
having recovered herself; she asked
the broker to ath-ance her ten dollars
upon the witch. . .•
." Ten dollars !" repeated Langford,
in surprise: lie had opened the
watch, and looked into it. "Do you
know its value ?"
"I know that it cost a b.rge sum,
sir.
"Certainly. It is a Harrison
chronometer of the very best quality,
and seems to have been little worn."
" It has not been wound up, sir,
since John Bishop (lied. I have kept
it hidden away all these years. And
now I must leave it, with you. I have
nothing else. Bat I will only take in
return, such a sum as I know I can
pay live. You will keep it, sir
- .. for a year, if necessaryfor more
than a year—" ,
" I will hold it - sacredly to your
order for five years, if you 'wish."
The poor woman was thankful,
and haiing received the ten dollars
she turned toward the door; Ebut be
fore she reacNed it she stopped, and
came back. She took the liateh in
her hands, and prti-ssed it tip. her lips;
and then, with a struggle; as -tho'
tearing a fond moment() froin, the net
work of ,her heart, she laid it down
and went away. .
When she had gone I got up and
stepped benind the counter- to look
at the pawned watch.
" worth three hundred dollars,"
said Lan7ford.
And she has panel it for ten!"
" I don't consider it pawned," he
replied.' That winnan lets enlisted
nit titinoAt sylnpathy, aitd 1 will hold
this' watch fair her while she lives.''
- I. asked Item if she bad been to
hiM before for money.
" Yes," he said. I think she has,
first and last. ,reeeived two hundre(i
dollars from me. She has evidently
pawned everything she could bring."
I was telling to the broker what
knew of Mrs. - Warland when a cus
tomer entered. Ile was a seafaring
man, and I recognized him as one I
]tad seen at the theater that after
noon. , lie had sat very near to me,
and I had noticed !kiln particularly,
because lie was man not to be seen
without notice. 'lie was young, with
a frank, handsome. bold lace; his
hair of da - rk brown, clinging about a
Large. well-shaped head in close, glos
sy curls ; and possessing a frame of
marvelous strength and symmetry.
Ills garments, though of the sailor
cut, were of the very finest quality,
and it was plain to be seen, froth his
'tone and manners, that he had been
used to holding authority. Ile had
seen a sextant exposed in th 6 win
dow. and had conic in to look at it.
Langford took, the chronoß:ter
fr4nn my hand, 'and had started to
restore it to its : pouch„ when the
stranger interrupted him
-I{ard(in inv.,. sir; but will you al
low Me to look at that wiltch
'fle'e broker handed it to him. He
took it, and .trembled
Where dill you 'get this ?" Th e
question was asked with an effort.
I hail 'it of ;a . customer."
"In pawn""
" Not exactly:. though. it ,was left,
with me as a pli'dge."
The man had examined the richly
engraved ease of the watch. and final
ly Ills eye rested upon the buckskin
pouch. lie pickel it up, and saw
the words which were written upon
it. For a little time his frame shook
as though tempest-riven. Then he
liraced hiinsell, and spoke in an en
treating manner: f
" Will you_ tell me who left this
here'" -
A light dawned upon me. The
man had interested me
,with some
thing more than his grand beauty=.
'!'here
There was something in face fi e
to nee—somethin:r class
sic outlines, and in its' linealnents of
character,like the face at the woman
who had hemi my sister'gAurse. And
while the broker hesitated, I answer
cd him :
A lady left it here, and her name
is Warlan!l."
" she a hush:nut?" he asked.
—No.," I said. " Her husband (tied
in New York several years since, ;111(1
she .has returned to the land of her
childhood. widow."
A moment's pause, and then 1
'added :
Langford has told you that
the watch had not been really pawned.
The poor woman sail that it was not

POTTLVILLE, ra., June 15, 1811.-
People 1 who have never visited the
coal regions have little idea of the

the production of this now impertant

coal 'is obtained.
A !few days since I received'an in
vitation to visit, in company with
two 'coal operators and iron fliasters,
what; is known as " the big Shaft,"
ktelY sunk by the Philadelphia and
Itcaiting Coll and Iron Company,
about two miles from here. It was
scarcely 7 o'clock on one of, those
bright and glorious morning that Are
the pride of our Maytime, when ewe
four mounted our equipage and rolled
;tway over the hard smooth roads.
-lust! cool enough to be pleasiant, the
sun yet gave promise of oinking the
midday hot and blistering. Upon
the front seat sat Mr. Christian and
Mr. Seltzer, men of 'middle tige, who
have forgotten more about iron and
I machinery than most men ever know,
and 'back of them your corres'pon4,-

mother would give a fortune to 11-
stow upon her sickly child ,a moiety
of their health and activity.
Over the next hill and, we see the
black timbers• of the breakers and
the small mbuntain of coal dirt from
the big Wadesville colliery that
*ands near the big shaft. Just here
it may be well to explain the reason
for digging the same. ' At Pottsville
herei the southern limits of the 'coal
fields, the - coal veins pitch toward
the - north, while some eight or ten
miles north of here they pitch to
ward the south. The. natural conclu
sion arrived at was that at some un
known depth, at a certain point be
tween_ the two outcroppings on the
surface, the veins: must -come togeth.
er, and at the junction form a sort of
immenSe coal basin or pocket. The
coal and iron company sunk - this
shaft to the depth'of sixteen hundred
feet, and have drilled below that
'some five or six hundred feet further
with the diamond drill," . and striking
the, mammoth vein at a depth of
some 2,200 feet. But they failed to
strike the basin, for at the point
where they cut the mammoth vein,
as the great forty foot vein is called,
at that enormous depth it still sloped
toward the south.
Arriving at the entrance we en
tered the g reat gate, alighted, and
were met by the Superintendent, Mr.
Brumley, with a cordial welcome.
After visiting-the pump house, where
every stroke of the piston brings up
several barrels of water, and looking
tato. the dusty breaker, where the
coal is cracked into marketable sires,
we reached the first shaft. There are
two of the same depth, iand 'as we
looked down inte its:black depthsiit
looked bottomless. Then we pro
ceeded to the otherand baited the
corning up of , the elevator. One de
scription will do for 'both. It is
about twelve feet square inside, tim
bered all around and divided in the
middle by ,great timbers, into two
parts, So that while one elevator runs
up on one side it goes down on the
other. Minerva robed herself .in a
faded . calico Ivrapper,‘the rest trade
various little preparations, the Su-
perintendent motioned to us to take
our places on the platform,, gave the,
signal, and we began to descqd. It
was a strange sensation to feel that
we were suspended by only a wire
rope, not larger than my thumb, over
an abyss more than a quarter Of a
mile in depth. In three minutes we
were at the _bottom with a strange,
oppressive: sensation in our ears,
which, however, soon, passed away,
and looking up could see the opening
at the top, like ttiny star, twinkling'
in the_ dim distance.
The foreman, or inside boss, met
us at the bottom and took us thro'
the gangway, and in themost oblig-
Ina manner showed us'all the curittOs
features of the , place. At One place
a stable has been cut,out of the coal,
*awl nearly a dozen ItOrses and miles
were contentedly munching their ra
tions. They looked Sleek and in tine
condition ; they are never taken out
till they get hurt or sick, and often
remain here for months at 'a time
without ever seeinw. a ray of daV
light. The' men Wprk eight hoipt
shifts, three gangs of men working
day and night. 4 •
On we stumbled OrOugh the dark
gangway, over the rails and ties, otir
path only lighted by, two or three lit
tle lamps such as the miners wear on
their hats. We were all in the jolli
est:mood, and our fair r eompanion
kept-us in the best of huthor by 'her
cute speeches and capital hits upon
her surroutVlings. She was rallied
upon'her bravery, and the Superin
tendent remtirked that she was the
third woman who had ever had the
courage to descend to that depth. ,
It is the deepest shaft in this coun
try. At the distance of three or four:
hundred yards, we reached the end of ,
the gangway, .and before, above, be
low, and all around us was the solid
anthracite - of the Primrose vein. The
toreman took up one cif the light coal
picks and gave it to - Miderva, and,
picking into the solid 'coal, she soon
had a beautiful selection of specimens
at our disposal. "~lever woman
mined coal sleep before," says the
Superintendent, while we filled our
pockets.. Returning along by the
bieasts we could look up and see the
miners picking out the coal which'
came sliding down ; in one place the
breasts ran up .nearly two hundred
yards,: and the foreman remarked
that, they had a little engine-away up
there. Most of breasts some
six feet wide and high enough to .
stand up in comfortably. At the:
shaft we took the elevator and went,
up five hundred feet through thel
rock, where another gangway opened
out into the. Diamond vein. Ilere we,
saw hem put in a, blast, and aftpri
walking away, could hear the dill'
thud of the explosion. • t
One, peufiarif,y about this mine is
its dryness ;it quite dusty indeed,'
No water was found below a depth'
of two hundred; feet, although before
reaching that thvy . cut several veins
of water.
One more trip in the elevator, and
we were once more above ground:,
With our grimy faces and blackened
hands we were fit for a minstrel show;
but a liberal allowance of soap, wai
ter and towels .soon improved out
personal appearance. We had beeri
down for nearly an hour ; never had
the blessed sunshine seemed warmei
or more cheerful than when We rode
happily townward after our
ing's descent— .
