MAIDENHOOD.

Maiden! with the meek, brown eyes, In whose orbs a shadow lies

Like the dusk in evening skles!

' Thou whose locks outshine the sun,

Golden tresses, wreathed in one,

|; As the braided streamlets run!

| Standing, with reluctant feet,

Where the brook and river meet,

| Womanhood and childhood fleet!

Gazing, with a timid glance, On ths brooklet’s swift advance, On the rivers broad expanse!

|

Deep and still that gliding stream Seautiful to thee must seem,

As the river of a dream.

, a ae a [hen why pause with indecision, | When bright angels in thy vision Beckon the to fields Elysian? Seest thou shadows sailing by,

As the dove, with startled eye, Sees the faicon’s shadows fly?

Hearest thou voices on the shore, That our ears perceive no more, Deafened by the cataract’s roar?

Q, thou child of many prayers! Life hath quicksands —Life hath snares Care and age come unawares!

Like the swell of some sweet tune, Morning rises into noon, May glides onward into June.

Childhood is the bough where slumbered Birds and blossoms many-numbered ;— Age,that bough with snows encumbered.

Gather then each flower that grows, Whenthe young heart overflows, To embalm that tent of snows.

Bear a lily in thy hand; Gates of brass cannot withstand One touch of thy magic wand.

Bear through sorrow, wrong, and ruth, In thy heart the dew of youth, On thy lips the smile of truth.

Oh that dew, like balm, shall steal Into wounds, that cannot heal,

Eyen as sleep our eyes doth seal;

And that smile, like sunshine, dart

Into many a sunless heart, For a smile of God thou art.

Ch’town, July 27, 1874.—6m

am sure that many business men of this city have taken quite a fancy to him. Have you noticed his reception on ‘ change’ yes- terday?’

‘I have just read it,’ and the banker’s eyes returned to the paper which he had laid aside with his first words to his daugh~ ter. ‘Still, for aH that, Kitty, I do not like the man.’

‘Yours is one of those unaccountable dislikes, | suppose, she answered, with a pout, ‘and the world is none the better for

such, lam sure that Sedgewick will over. come your repugnance and win your esteem. Perhaps he has not patronized

the North American.’

Kitty Ransom spoke the last words with a smile.

‘ Quite to the contrary, Kitty,’ responded her father. ‘His deposits in the North American run into the thousands, and we cash all the checks that he receives. But the man—the man, Kitty, I say frankly that I do not like him, and perhaps I could not tell you why.’

The girl with a noticeable pallor on her face, walked to the window and gazed vacantly into the busy street.

‘No, ske murmured, ‘he never likes anybody to whom | take a fancy. One of these days I will tame him; yes, I will cure him of his dislikes,’

Kitty spoke with womanish determina- tion and her ruby lips closed firmly behind the last word.

To the handsome man whose reception on change had been so flattering she had taken quite a fancy. He had rented the elegant storeroom that adjoined the North American Bank, and was stocking it with an assortment of goods which he declared would prove the wonder of the thriving city. Of polished manner and fine business address, he was winning his way to the trust of the substantial citizens, and when it was learned that he was unmarried many young belles smiled upon him—Kitty Ransom among the rest.

As the days wore away Arthur Sedgewick continued to rise in the estimation of belles and beaux.

He seemed to pay especial attention to the banker’s daughter, whom he met at social gatherings, while the father looked on with silent disapproval.

‘Kitty will find him but tinsel by-and-by,’ he said to his wife, who did not look with favor on Arthur Sedgewick. ‘She is young and sometime she must learn that all is not gold that glitters. When I shall have dis- covered Mr. Sedgewick’s true character | will dissipate Kitty’s dream. He shall never cross this threshold as our son,’

But the hand of fate was at work, and Kitty Ransom was destined to discover her lover's true character in the gloom of the most memorable night of her life.

‘Can I see Kitty?’

The speaker was a private watchman who slept in the bank, and he stood on the stoop of the banker’s house.

A moment Ister Kitty stood before him.

‘Kitty ’said the young maa, and a blush began tosuffuse his face. ‘Kitty,’ I cans not stay in the bank to-night.’

‘Why not, Ben?’

‘ Because—because—Kitty, you'll not say a word about it if I tell you.’

Then Ben Kittredge, than whom no trustier watchman lived in the city, came nearer the girl and said :

‘]'m going to be married to-night.’

‘Why, Ben Kittredge,’ exclaimed the girl, ‘this announcement is sudden. You should have invited me sooner. But I am too fast, you have not invited me yet.’

God bless you, Kitty Ransom,’ said Ben. ‘ You are the first woman I wouid invite if there were to be any wedding guests. But I want you to do me a great favor. I want you to sleepin the bank to-night in my place. I would trust nobody else, and I need not assure you the post is safe, for you knew that the North American was never disturbed by burglars; in fact, Kitty, it is burglar proof—the safes I mean.’

‘I do not fear burglars,’ said the girl with a smile, ‘but would father allow me to do you this singular favor?”

‘ He need not know it till morning,’ was the quick reply. ‘You often stay from home at night and he never questions your out~goings as you have told me. Besides he will know that you will not see Mr. Sedgewick, as that gentlemen has not been

SOU

; seen for several days. | that you will not be home to-night. I will

| come for you by-andsby, and let you in the |

bank before they light the street lamps.’ | Pleased with the romance of sleeping in a bank as the guardian of many thousands , of dollars, Kitty Ransom assented to Ben's | propositions, and saw him depart in good | humor.

Of late she had held many stolen inter views with Arthur Sedgewick, much to the chagrin of a certain young man whom her father had in secret chosen for her husband. Kitty respected him and might have loved him had not the dashing merchant crossed her path, and made the conquest of her heart almost before she knew it.

‘ Let her go,’ said Shirely Dare, in bitter- ness, ‘let ber discover that this Arthur Sedgewick is wearing a cloak of deceit.’

Kitty went to the bank with Ben Kit- tredge, who left her there as watcher, while he hastened to the woman whom he was to make his wife.

‘VU let you out early, Kitty,’ were his jast words, and the girl heard him turn the key in the strong lock.

In the well-warmed back parlor Kitty made herself comfortable, and proposed to read before going to sleep on the settee which Ben had transformed into a cozey couch with something like womanly skill. several walls thick and strong separated the banker’s daughter from the great safe

that contained the wealth of the institu, tion, and Kitty recalled her father’s remark of but that evening that the safe had never been so full as at that day.

‘1’ll go and look at the safe,’she thought, ‘but not until get ready to retire,’ and then she fell to the novel which she had brought from home, and bysand-by silence reigned in the little parlor.

kitty read until her eyes grew heavy,and her watch told her that the city clock would soon strike the eleventh hour.

‘ Have I read so long?’ she asked her- self, startled at the lateness of the hour,and then she put the book aside and rose.

At that moment a strange sound fell up- on her ears.

It seemed to come from a remote part of the building and resembled the gnawing of rats. The girl listened for many minutes, but at last smiled at the thought that she would tell Ben that the bank was haunted, and picked up the little night lantern.

She intended to carry out her idea of in- specting the bank before composing her limbs for slumber.

The gnawing ceased rather suddenly, and the silence that followed, so palpable, so dense, frightened Kitty Ransom, till she sat the lamp down and listened for another noise to re~assure her,

After ali somebody might be at work on the great safes, the gnawing sounds might be the noise of steel inside of bone, and when Ben came to release her there might be an empty safe.

But when the girl thought of the peculiar construction of the great Steel guardian she smiled te herself.

Once her father had taken her to the vault and explained how the explosion of powder in the locks would force unseen bolts at the burglars, and how the introduc- tion of drills into the door would imperil the life of the felonious operator.

While Kitty thought, and when she was about to start forwerd again, there came a rumbling sound accompanied by a shock that shook the furniture in the room, and almost sent the lantern from the table. Kitty’s face grew deadly pale, and her eyes seemed ready to start from their sock.

“She felt the shock had been caused by the explosion of powder in the lock of the safe, and scarcely hoped thatthe hidden bolts of steel had effectually performed their deadly office.

The shock lasted but a moment:

Kitty felt a terrible and ominous silence fall about her like the shroud of night, and for a moment she seem ready to sink to the floor with fright.

But she mastered the fear witha strong effort, and resolved to enquire into the af- fair.

Ben had left the keys of the various apartments of the bank in her care, end had bidden her inspect the institution bes fore going to sleep.

She reached the door that openec into the vault, and listened intently.

Not a sound reached her ears, and she pushed the portal open.

A strange odor greeted her as she steppe ed across the threshold with a lantern above head; butit was not disagreeable, and she advanced.

She first saw the ponderous door of the safe standing wide open; but a dark figure lay before it, and Katy was not long in see. ing that it was a man.

He lay on his back as he had fallen,when struck by one of the deadly bolts, and not a muscle stirred when the rays of light fell upon his face,

‘ The bolts killed him !’ murmured the girl, drawn by intense curiosity to behold the burglar’s features. ‘Fatber said they would slay—’

She did not finish her sentence, for a wild cry of recognition pealed from her throat, and she started from the dead man as from an apparition.

The burglar was Arthur Sedgewick.

For a while the horror-stricken girl gazed on the silent man from the door, then she crept forward again and with resolution held the lantern over his face.

She had not been deceived; before her, with a drilll in his cold hands, lay the dash- ing man to whom she had promised to link her heart.

He was quite dead, and Kitty was spared the sight of the ghastly wound in the left temple, for his face lay partially on its side and hid it from view.

Phe contents of the safe had not been touched,

The hole in the wall of the vault told Kitty that Arthur Sedgewick had perforat- ed it from the cellar of the adjoining build. ing, which he had filled with goods to hood- wink the people while he toiled with his tools !

All was plain to Kitty Ransom now.

She saw the hand of fate in the work of death, and the reader may know that she stole from the vault a sadder yet a wiser girl.

Sleep came not to her eyes that night. In the parlor she sat, yearning for the day ; and with the first sound of Ben’s keys in the locks, she sprang up to greet him. ‘Oh, Ben,’ she cried, ‘do not tell papa that I staid in the Bank last night ;’ and the watchman promised that he would keep

the secret.

Tell your father |

x

r ; MONDAY, J keep it. | She told her father the story of her night ‘in the bank, and the banker said to his wife :

‘It is the hand of fate, mother. idol has been broken !”

The death of Arthur Sedgewick caused much surprise and excitement in the city ; and but few people knew how bitter was Kitty Ransom’s repentance.

By-and-by Shirley Dare returned to her

side, and Kitty’s wedding day was the brightest of her life.

KEELYS MIGHTY MOTOR,

VAPOUR WHICH OOZES TNROUGII GUN METAL —FUEL AND HEAT DISPENSED WITH.

(From the New York Sun, May 23.)

A Sun reporter paid a visit to the ma- chine shop of Messrs. Sergeant & Chillings worth, in this city, where one of the Keely motor generators are being made, It is in« tended to be of 100 horse power, but by operating it rapidly it will give a power of 300 horses. Its height will be about seven anda half feet.—At present the parts are either lying completed on the floor or in process of preparations Among the form- er is a bed of cast iron, seyen anda half feet long and three feet seven inches wide, upon which the superstructure of chambers and their accessory tubes will be raised. The chambers are about two feet in diame- ter, and vary in height from to two and a half feet. They are of massive steel, and their holiows vary from four to six inches in diameter, leaving the walls necessarily of very great thickness and capable of bearing an enormous pressure. The difficulty has hitherto been in obtaining metal which would retain the vapour. Experiments with a gencrator of about 50 hersespower on low pressure gaye entire satisfaction to the company, and Mr, Keely was advised to construct a large machine, He, theretore, two years ago, began one of 1,000 horsew power, to be endowed with sufficient strength to stand the requisite force with perfect eafety.. The next experiment was with a generator of 1,000 horse-power, cons structed of gun metal. A pressure of 6,000 pounds to the square inch did not burst this metal, but caused the vapour to ooze completely through its pores, much to the astonishment of the bystanders. This gun metal was of the best composition used, and comprised eight per cent. of copper, of tin, and the rest of lead and zinc. It was then thought that phosphor-bronze would answer the purpose, but the vapour oozed through that at still less pressure. The virtues of wrought iron and steel are now to be tried. The chambers of Mr. Keely’s 1,000 horse generator in Philadelphia, have swood a pressure of 25,000 pounds to the square inch in the lower part, and 10,000 pounds in the upper, and retained the va. pour, but a small globe at the top of one of them, which it was thought could be safely constructed of gun metal, allowed the va. pour to escape. A new one is under con» struction, together with some minor parts, and by June Ist, a trial will probably be made, and one smal! machine of five horse~ power will likewise be tried. The chams bers have stood a pressure of 10,000 pounds, The invertor and the stockholders are per-~ fectly satisfied with the feasibility of the theory. The only point now is to get metal sufficiently dense to retain pressure. When it is considered that machines driven by steam rarely or never create a pressure of over 200 pounds to the square inch, the enormous force of the Keely motor, and its immense capacity for propulsion can be realized. The power will be generated by a vaporizing of water mechanically, and without the agency of heat, The expense of fuel will thus be saved, Those inter- ested claim to have been misunderstood in saying that a pint of water only would be needed for the propulsion of a train of cars between this city and Philadelphia and back. They meant that if five gallons were used for an engine of 100 horse power a pint only might be lost by vaporization through the pores of the metal, None at all might be lost. The water, after being vaporized, and passing through the various tubes and chambers, does its allotted work upon the engine, is recondensed into its former state, and, again become vaporised, starts again upon its mission of mighty pres~ sure. The capital stock of the Keely mo. tor Company is $1,000,000, divided into 2,» 000 shares. Many shareholders, dishearten~- ed at the repeated failures and the adverse comments of scientific men, have sold out at a heavy loss, but others are hopeful,

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER ROASTED ALIVE.

BatrimorE, May 27.—Mrs. Thos: I. Cut- let and her daughter, aged'17, were liters ally roasted alive this morning, by the ex- plosion of a coal oil lamp which it was cus» tomary to keep burning in their chamber during the night. Observing the flame flickering, Mrs. Cutlett rose and took the lamp in her hand with the intention of throwing it through the window, when it exploded with terrific force, forcing the the burning fluid over her clothes, She was enveloped in flames, and her daughter, leaping from her bed, rushed into her arms and heroically battled the consuming ele. ment.
