Even his band tho Inkitand sought ; He tulvcdtn figures tho knottiest thought. Thus tolling and reckoning day by day, Already hli hair was changlo to gray. And silently wht'ptred the man of bone : " Thy balance sheet, brother, mutt be shown." Then went the reckoner to view the Heidi. And feait on the bounty that Nature yields. Flowers were blooming, fragrant and bright ; But tbe cyphers, confuting, dimmed hit light. Birds were piping their csrelew trill But loudly echoed tho scratching quill. Clouds were decked with golden rays : Ue saw only vlilons of Inky ways. Twaa then be rnit a penitent look At delt, and counter, and manuscript book. 0, mournful the day when he penned each page And reckoned glad youth Into desolate age I Set Free-A Prison Iucldent. I had a man here not long back, now Amos Ridding, in for poaching and how that poor fellow bent against his cago bars J Poor fellow I I believe he was not a bad ono at heart, but ho had got himself mixed tip with a poaching gang, and a keeper having been half.! killed, Amos wus taken, and rightly or wrongly nciu nere ior six monins. I can soon pick out what I call the canters, nnd net accordingly; while whi're I pee a poor fellow taking his confinement to heart, why, knowing how it tells on his mind, I do ull I enn for him to brighten him up ; setting him at odd jobs about tho place, gardening and so on; while if he knows n trade, ono that can bo worked nt in here, I set him to do something in that wny, never letting him stand still for tools or material. Rut this poor fellow was unmanage able; he would work as hard as I liked, but tho moment he was by himself he was pining again, fretting for his wife and children, and wearing himsolfn way to skin nnd bono. I did not know what to do with him, nnd grow quite troubl ed ntlar.t; for I began to bo afraid of having a summons from ono of the warders, telling mo that, in a fit of that weary, despairing mndncss which comes upon men, poor Kidding uad made way with himself. Tho summons camo nt last, but in a diffrent form ; for one niornitig I Wns aroused at five o'clock to bo told that the bird had beaten down the ircs and had escaped. "Why, how did ho manage it !" I exclaimed, angrily. " Cpmo and sec, sir," said the warder; and I went lo the cell where the priso ner had been locked in the night betoro at eight o'clock, and then opparently he must have gone to work nt onco with an old nail at tho setting of ono of tjio iron bars in the window till he picked it slowly out, and then wrenched out first ono and then another, leaving a passage big enough to allow his body to pass, The blankets and rug wcro gone, while a piece of one of tbeiorme,r yet hung to ono of tljo bars, evidently having been used to let the prisoner down into the yard below. We were not long in reaching the lesser yard, which was about 20 feet beneath his window, and surrounded on all sides by high buildings. Hero it was evident that be had made his way into the long passage between the work shops, a place covered in ior the whole length With iron bars.. But about half way down we found where he had leap ed (up and caught the bars, and evident ly by plaoirig bis feet against them and forcing, while he held on with bis v Jv I l4Jil M?Jl . hands, Btmincd till tho iron g.ivo wny snflictotttly to forco his body through, when ho would bo nblo to lower him solf into tho lnrgo yard, where tho hlgli wnll is, whose top is covered with loose lieavT brictis, yhich arc urc to fall if an attempt nt cscano is made tf ot a brick was out of place, though. as far as I.could ecc till one of the men pointed outwhcro thrco had fallen, and then, feeling, satisfied In jny own mind jjthat t)io prisoner had escaped, I return ed to my oltico and sent out notices to the police. All nt once ono of the men ran in. "Found him, sir," ho said. il .t v .. v a "tiowr wJicrov" l sata. "is bo in a cell?" "No sir," said tho warder; "he's a top of tho prison." I jumped up nud hurried into tho yard, to find men at watch, for somo pcoplo had caught sight of the poor fellow s head from n neighboring house, and given uotieo to tho gatekeeper. it was now plain tliat tliu prisoner had reached the top of tho high wnll, and then, probably from its being day light, been afraid to descend; so ho had climbed from thence, by means of a water-pipe, right onto tho top of tho prison, nnd was now lying couccalcd in one of the gutters. I'm too old and stout to tako part in such matters, so I sent up thrco men to tho top of the prison, and then went up ono oftho buildings to sco tho cap ture made. I did not have to wait long beforo first one head nnd then another appeared abovo the trap-door, till tho three men were upon tho roof, which is rather extensive, consisting of high slato ridges, separated by wide lead gut ters. The noiso they made must havo aroused the prisoner, fori saw him start up nil at once, as if from sleep, and stand facincr his miriurrs. 0f course he'll give up, poor fellow," Iliuttered to myself; but I was mis- taken, for tho next moment I saw him scramblo up one sido of a ridgo and slido down the other, in a way which showed that submission was far from his intention. Not to be outdone, tho three men heparated, and as one followed iu tho prisoner's steps, tho others tried to cut him off right nnd left. But for duty, I felt so much sympa thy for the poor fellow that I should have said, "Let him go." Rut all I could do was to gaze horror-stricken at the scene going on about eighty feet Irom where I stood. Once a warder was near enough to touch the prisoner, hut he eluded his grasp, and led his purwuers right to tho end of the build' iug; each man, in the excitement of the chase, running fearlessly along the coping of the parapet, or darting up and down the ridges in n way that chilled mo with horror, as I thought of a full full fifty feet into tho stone yard below, "Thank God!" I ejaculated nt lost, for at tho second raco round the build ing I saw ono of tho men drop behind a projection in hiding, and then, as tho prisoner camo round, the warder leap ed up, caught him by tho throat, and I thought all was over. Rut directly after I shuddered as I saw a deadly struggle going on within a foot of the parapet, and felt that the next moment must sco them go down heavily into tho gutter, and tho prisoner leap up ami continue his flight, pursued by the oth er two men, who had lagged behind to cut off their quarry. But a new plan was now being adopt ed Hiy tho pursuers, who crawled on hands and knees between the ridges, one going ono way, the other another way, wiile to my astonishment I say the prisoner stop at tho corner where the brick-burdened wall touched the building, aqd let down a rope of knot ted blanket, hithertobiddenintholcad gutter, to which it was soraohqw se cured. The next instant, tho poor fel low was over the side, swinging back wards and forwards, and turning round and round as he bjjmed.himself quick ly, staring upwards at tho men, who camo up and looked over at him, "I'm! governor of this jail, and I know y duty j but in that moment ofi peril I could (do nothing but look on, tori felt, I may, say, that osaetkiag was going to1 happen. My bands were NO. 0 wet, tho big drops stood ttpoti my brow, while, when Ridding swung round, nnd I saw his dilated eyes, I shuddered again, just as tho frngilo rope parted, nnd ho camo down with Ibis back atrikitig tho wnll, nnd dislodg ing somo of tho loose bricks, when I turned away from tho window" to ran down, but not quick enough to Avoid hcnrilig the sickening crash of the poor fellow's fall upon tho hard flogs in tho yard, "Tho doctor was standing over Rid ding when I went into his cell, nnd thou, answering my Inquiring look with a slight raising of tho eyelids and a shako of tho head, ho went out and loft mo with tho poor follow, who smil ed as I leaned over his bed." "Are you iu much pain?" I said. "Only In ono place, sir,' he whis pered, touching his brenst ; nud theu no more was said for n tuiuute or two, when I spoke a few encouraging words. "No use, sir, uo use, ha.murmcrcd. Don't be cross with me. I couldn't bear it any longer. I wnntcd to bo with the wife nnd little ones onco more. Tell 'em how it was. "The next morning tho poor fellow was free reo from tho prison bonds earthly bonds all ; and I was so upset with that affair that I sent in my ro signation. It was returned to mo with a note begging mo to reconsider my determination; and I did. Rut wo havo somo most heart-rending cases at times under our caro." (JautWt Mag. azine. Extraordinary Inventlon-A Steam Kan. Tho following story of a romarknblo mechanical invention is told by tho Newark (N. J.) Advertiser: . Zadock Dcddrick, a Newark machin ist, has inveuted a man; ono that, moved by steam, will perform somo of tho most important functions of hu manity; that will, standing upright, walk or run, as he is bid, in any direc tion and at almost any rate of speed, drawing after him a load whoso weight would tax tho strength of three stout draught horses. The history of this curious invention is as follows: Six years ago Mr. Deddrick, the inventor, who is at present but 22 years of age, conceived tho novel idoa of construct ing a man that should receive its vital ity from a perpetual motion machine. The idea was baod on the well-known mochauica! principle that if a heavy weight bo placed at the top of an up right slightly inclined from a vertical, gravitation will tend to produce a hor izontal as well as vertical motion. Tho project was not successful. However, by observing carefully the cause of tho failure, preserving and perfecting tho man-form, and by substituting steam in place of tho perpetual motion ma chine, the present success was attained. The man stands 7 feet nnd 0 inches high, tho other dimensions of tho body being correctly proportioned, making him a second Daniel Lambert, by which namo ho is facetiously spoken of among the workmen. He weighs 000 pounds. Steam is generated in tho body or trunk, which is nothing but a thrcc-horso power engine, liku thoso used in our steam flro engines. Tho legs which support it are compli cared and wonderful. Tho steps aro taken very naturally and quito easily, As tho body is thrown forward upon tho advanced foot, the other is lifted from the ground by a spring and thrown forward by tho stoam. Each step or pace advances tho body two foot, and every revolution of tho engine pro duces four paces. As tho engine is ca pable of making moro than 1,000 revo lutions a minute, it would got over tho ground, on this calculation, at the rate of a littlo moro than a mile a mlnuto. As thisrwould bo working the legs fas tor than would be safe on uneven ground or on Broad street cobblo stones, it is proposed to run the engine at tho rato of flOO revolutions per minute, which would walk the man at the modest speed of half a mile a minute. The fellow is attached to a common Rookaway carnage, the shafts pi which serve to support him in a vertical posi tion. Those shafts are two bars of iron, fastened in the usual marmer to the front of tho carriage, and curved so as to be joined to a circular sustain ing bar, which passes around the waist,. llko a girth, and in which the a moves so as to faco in any direction,, Resides theso motions, machinery has been nrrangod by which tho figure can bo thrown back or forward from a ver tical nearly 4Q degrees. This Is done iu order to cnablo It to ascend or de scend nil grades. To tho sides of the feet, spikes or corks nro fixed which effectual prevent slipping. Tho whole affair is so firmly sustained by tho shafts, nnd has so excellent a foothold, that two men nro uhablo to push it over, or in any way throw it down. In order to cnablo it to stop quickly, It is provided with two nppllanccs, ono of which will, ns beloro stated, throw it backward to tho vertical, whito the other bends the knees in adirteiioa opposite to the natural position. Au npright post, which is arranged In front of tho dash-board, and within easy reach of tho front scats, sustains two miniature pilot wheels, by the turning of which thoso various motions and evolutions nro directed. It is ex pected thnt n sufficiently largo nmotint of coal cau be stowed away under tho back scat of tho carriago to work tho engine for n day, nud enough wator in n tnnk under tho front scat to last hair a day. In ordor to prevent tho "giant "from frightening horses by its wonderful nppcarnnce, Mr. Dcddrick Intends to clothe It and give It, as near as possi ble, n likeness to tho rest of humanity. Tho boiler, and such pnrts as nro nec essarily heated, will be encased In felt or woolen undergarments. Pontaloons, coat nud vest, of tho latest styles, aro provided, Whenever tho fires noed coaling, which is every two or three hours, tho driver stops tho machine, descends from his scat, unbuttons Dan- iePt vest, opens tho door, shovels in tho fuel, buttons up tho vest and drivca on. On tho back, between tho shoul ders, tho steam-cocks nnd guages aro placed. As theso would cause the coat to set awkwardly, a knapsack has been provided that completely covers them. A blanket, neatly rolled up and placed on tho top of tlio knapsack, perfects tho delusion. The faco is moulded into n cheerful countenance of white enam el, which contrasts well with tho dark hair and moustache. A short iron hat, with a guago top, acts as a smoke stack. Tho cost of this "first man" is 2, 000, though tho makers, Messrs. Ded drick fc Grass, oxpect to manufacture succeeding ones, warranted to run a year without repairs, for 1300. The same parties expect to construct, on the same principle, horses which will do tho duty of 10 or 12 ordinary animals of tho same species. These, it is con fidently bclioved, can bo used alike be foro carriages, street cars nnd ploughs. The man now constructed can make his wny without difficulty over any ir regular surface whose ruts and stones are not moro than niuo inches below or above the level of tho road. Skntimknt Discou.vrm A romant ic young lady, whoso mind was deeply imbuod with reading tho "Sorrows of Wcrter," nnd other novels of tho ex qulsltlvcly sentimental school, ap proached a stalwart Indian, whoa somber visage indicated suffering of soiuu kind, and addressed him thus; " Why droops tho eyo of tho forest chief 't Docs tho memory of tho red warrior rovcrt to tho past, when his proud ancestors roamed through the forests nud enjoyed tho primovul glo ries of nature, now sadly marred by ax and plow of tho unsympathizing rustlo?" Tho nnswar of tho forest chief with drooping caglo oye, wns a littlo start ling to her refined sensibility: " No I whlto man gib Injiu too much, whisky. Injin big drunk last night j Injin sick; byo-bya Injtn puke: den. Injin get well ngnln, ugh 1" Ri.anketi.no Hqiisks. This is very often wrongly dono. When the horse becomes heated by hard labor or long traveling, tho blanket is thrown on hia back at onco the, vapor steams up, from his hot sides, becomes condensed: and wots tho blanket, and as tho horse continues to cool, the cold, and wed covering is of littlo use. A bettor way is to let tho animal stand uncovered for a few minutes, a longer op shorter period, according to circumstances, ma). til cooled down, to about the ordiaasry temperature, but not to any degree of oblllnese, then throw on a dry blanket.
