BV ELLA MOORE,
Tls true, the pines on Ramoth 31111
Were murmarlnj; ott and low.
And sweet May blossoms wafted by,
' Like feathery flakes ofsnow.
TboK blowonu drifted o'er my path.
The birds sang loud and Ray,
I feittny pretence dearer far
Than Cowers or bird that day.
Oh, bow I drank In every word,
, And quaked with anxlou fear,
Iet In my timid glance ye shonkl
Discover thou wert dear!
TU tree, I klwed tliellpof kin.
And placed thy hand in mine.
And wlxlted within my heart efhearta
Thou ne'er would It resign.
I left thee in the bloom of May,
Year after year sped by,
I praying for the baslifal hay
WlUi many a tear and sigh.
I tolled with noiseleiw energy
To reach that lar-ofTzoal
Where I bud plaeed my brtcht-eyed beau
With proud and peerless soul.
" . I came not back to Ramoth Hill
To gather autumn fruit;
' I eame not baek to FMIymlll,
For there one voice was mute.
Melhlnks I hear that merry shout
As grapes In apron fell,
And nuts were trewn around my feet
By hands I loved m well.
' -' lAye, miles btossomed In the iond.
And birds sang on the trees,
And dark pines sighed on Uamoth IIHI,
"While I sailed o'er the seas.
Dost wonder in think of thee,
And of those deer old scenes T
There's not a day, there's not n night,

And still I love thee,Wlilttler,

CHAPTEIt V.
Tho railroad spirit had reached the
village of Mackinaw with its exciting
accompaniment of land speculation.
Buyers, whose resources of wealth were
reported as inexhaustible, began pur
chasing every available farm in the
county. As Peter Dowd was the larg
est owner in the township, many were
the bidders for his possessions, but no
body ever offered him. his "price,"
whiclt was always increased five or ten
dollars per acre whenever a new appli
cant appeared. The woman who had
married him on account of his wealth
soon found herself mistress of toil and
poverty instead. The niggardly habits
of which she had apparently cured him
while she had held legal advantage as
his hired help, when both were perse
cuting Ellen Dowd, returned In double
intensity after their marriage.
No Intercourse wa3 permitted by Peter
Dowd between the families. Once only,
during the hard, cold winter that fol
lowed the divorce and marriage, Polly
escaped from home aud sought a secret
interview with the one woman on earth
who of all others might have consist
ently scorned her.
"I periled my own soul to get that
man in my power so I might get my
boy," poor Polly .sobbed. "And now
though Peter is worth his tens of thous
ands and I toil like a galley slave, I
can't control one cent. O, my boy,
would that you wore Indeed dead, dead,
dead.' Your poor mother would give
her life to see youl"
Ellen calmly remonstrated.
"You have other duties as a mother
now. Your little waif at home cannot
be taken from you. Iet your mother
heart go out to him."
"But, O Ellen, can't you help me to
get my. boy? Pve lately heard from
the old farmer who led me into the
Lands of the law that took him from
me, and he says that for one hundred
dollars he will be given up. iero I am
the slave-wife of a man worth tens of
thousands, and I must cook and wash

"You had vour own choice in the

meaning smile. "If you had not been

"There."' she Interrupted. "Don1
twit me with my wickedness. I have
trouble enough, God knows! My pun-
lsument is greater than I can bear!"
"I believe it is, poor child!" was the
quiet reply. "You shall have a hund

Wonders in science and improvements
in mechanism will never ceae at least
we hone not. One of tlie mo9t im
portant and interesting subjects to the
people Is that of improving upon and
cheapening tlie motor powers used for
Fropelling car.s on horse railroads,
forses are expensive and slow; the
dummy engines hitherto used are noisy
and in some respects dangerous. Our
attention hns been called to a new in
vention, whereby it is claimed to be al
ready demonstrated mat compressed air
can be employed ns a motor power with
more emciency anu economy man any
other agency yet employed. Some of
me statistics and experiments are
rather startling. The Inventor of this
new machinery is the well known Hor
ace II- Day, of New York now, how
ever, temporarily residing in this city
and it is claimed not only by Mr. Day,
but by scieutiuc engineers and practical
mechanics and railroad men that Mr.
Day Iia3 really perfected a system of
rapid transit, which enables him to
transport, by the agency of compressed
atr, 41 passengers 11: miles at a cost tor
fuel less or man 10 cents ror tno whole
distance. He is getting up companies
to apply ins patents turougnout tne
cities of the United States. The follow

THE COST OF COMPRSSSHD AIR ON CITY R.UI.-
IIOADS AS SUBSTITUTE KOK IIO.I3.F--i.
New Yokic, July 7, 1S73.
In response lo a request from Mr.
Beach, of the Pneumatic Railroad Com
pany, for the estimate of the cost of fuel
ror running my air power car on ins
proposed road, 1 reported from twelve to
sixteen cents per hour as the certain
outside limit of the cost to run a car
seating forty-four passengers. This re
port was deemed too indetinitc, aud
likely to be far inside tlie actual cost,
and he calls for the elements of calcula
tion, whereupon my engineer lias called
upon Mr. Beach, and now furnishes the
following report, which I print for tlie
edification of all concerned, renewing
my own conviction that I t an perform
more than double the service: that is. I
can, by the adoption of tny system of
rapid transit, transport double the mau
ler of passengers upon the Greenwich
Street Elevated Hal-road, (with cars
leaving eacli station every five minutes)
than can be done by steam as now used,
without increasing the aggregate cost.
It will require but superficial calculation
to show that the air power would not
reach oue-slxth of the cost of horses, for
the transportation of a like number of
passengers, now moved uy horse power
on ordinary city railroads, and the
engine by which this can be done is the
newly invented "Mauley Engine,"
which weiclis less than H50 pounds, and
works air expansively, in a manner bet
ter than by any engine ever before
built. Hokace H. Day,

stand as follows: 3.84-5 equals 77, and

If we take Mr. Beach's estimate that
t will require six times this power to
pump the air necessary to drive the car

the loss resulting from the heat ot com

being the greatest of all losses to contend
against. A great saving oCyower must
result from tins mode or compression;
bv careful experiment onIycan the
amount of this saving be correctly de
termined, but it may be roughly esti
mated that at least two-thirds of the
loss resulting from heat may be saved
by this means. Taking this view, I be
lieve that the compressed air ueing
worked expansively (.the inverse of com

ample allowance for loss from heat; 20
per cent would be also ample for loss In

a loss of 30 per, cent, altogether; there
fore it would reasonably ' appear that
a good engine with every advantage,
running constantly and doing a duty
of 10 horso power, should compress su ffi
cient air to run a 12 ton car. But In

total cost of -fuel to run a 12 ton car por

If wo now contrast this with the prac
tice hitherto adopted, viz: compressing
tlie air with a common non-expansive
engine, consumingat least 0 to 8 pounds
of coal per hour, per H. P., or from 4 to

A Brave "Woman.
Long Island has a heroine, and her
name deserves to be connected with Ida
Lewis. Tlie Sim tells of two men, John
Mason and a friend, whose boat cap
sized last Friday afternoon, near Eaton's
Neck light, opposite tho residence of
Mr. Couklin, a farmer. When the cries
for help were heard, we learn from tho
account In the Sun that Mr. Conklin
was away from home, and there were
only three women and a little boy in
the house. All rushed to the beach and
sw tho stnigglo of the drowning man,
but for a moment they were so paralyzed
that neither of them had presence of
mind enough to make a movement to
aid him. Then Miss Lucinda Conklin,
without stopping to consult her mother
or sister, wailed out into tlie bay, deter
mined to make one effort to save Ma
son. At this part of the bay the beach
is broad and shelves out very gradually.
so that the brave woman was enabled
to wade within a few feet of Mr. Mason.
But as she moved forward, clearing tho
ice from her path, the water deepened
little by little until at last when she
was only eight or ten feet from the man
she sought to save, only her head was
above the water. By this time Mason
showed signs of exhaustion. He clung
to the Ice for so long a time, that his
hands had become numb and almost
powerless, and Miss Conklin saw by his
ellorts to relieve his hands by placing
his elbows on the cake of ice,
that his chances of life were not worth
a minute's purchase. With a heriosm
seldom, if ever paralleled, she made a
plunge into the deep water, and with a
few vigorous strokes readied tlie drown
ing man. Although exhausted, he was
still sensible, and faithfully obeyed the
instructions givou him uy tne urave
woman. She had warned him against
seizing hold of her in such a manner as
to impede her motions; so when she
reached him, he placed his hands on
her shoulders, and in a few seconds,
thanks to her good swimming, both
stood neck deep in the ice-cold water
and began wading shoreward. As Atiss
Conklin reached the shore, she fainted
away and was carried to the house by
her relatives. .Mason, nearly frozen to
death, following in their wake. Miss
Couklin was thoroughly exhausted by
her exertions, as well as by the tremen
dous excitement under which she had
labored, and did not recover for two or
three days. Mason's companion stuck
manfully to the keel of tho boat, and In
due courso of time was hauled ashore.
Miss Conklin is a young lady, of about
the average size; but her country train
ing has imparted for her much more
than the average strength of her sex.
Although not beautitul, she is spoken
of as interesting aud jriquantc in style,
nnd is very popular in the neighborhood
in which she resides.
The Woman Snflragists.
We find all these good tilings in the
New York Commercial Advertiser:
When a jurist as eminent as Judge
Henry It. Selden testifies that he told
Miss Anthony before election that she
had a right to vote, aud thi3 after a care
ful examination of the question, the
whole question assumes new import
ance, aud Mr. Selden at once becomes
the central object of adoration by all the
gentle believers in woman's right to the
ballot. And when the same able iaw-
yeradvocates the cause of Miss Anthony
m the l imed States Lourw, there is
ibuudant reason why other men, both
lay and legal, should put themselves in
an attitude at least of willingness to
change their convictions upon this
topic, which now threatens to take on
very enlarged proportions. Tne points
made Iu the argument by Mr. Selden
are that the defendant had a legal right
to vote; mat even it no such rignt ex
isted, it sue oeueved sue had such a
right, and voted in such faith, that she
committed no olieuse; and lastly, ho
argued, that she did vote in pursuance
of such belief. The point that Miss An
thony had acted illegally only because
she was a woman, was well put. Had
her brother, under the same circum
stance, done the same thing, his act
would have been not only innocent but
laudable. The crime was, therefore, not
in the act done, but in tlie sex of the
person who did it Women, remarked
the Judge, have the same interest in the
maintenance of good government as
men. No greater absurdity, to use no
harsher term, can be presented to the
human mind than that of rewarding
men and punishing women for tho same
act, without giving women any voice
In the question of which shall be re
warded aud which punished. How
grateful to Judge Selden must all the
sullragists be! He has struck the
strongest and most promising blow in
their behalf that hasyet been given.
Dred Scott was the- pivot on which the
Constitution turned, before the war.
Mis3 Anthony peems likely to occupy a
similar position now.
Poultry KBErns'o tor Women:
There are many women who, especially
within the last half-dozen years, while
the price of eggs lias beett'stf high, make
money much faster by tending poultry
than by sowing. It is an occupation
especially suited to women, because it
involves patience and constant details
rather than strength. Then, again, the
hardest thing for many men to learn,
in handling either poultry or bees, is
gentleness. How many times we have
seen boys, and men with no more sense
than boys, jerk hens roughly from their
nests, euter the poultry houses abruptly
and frighten the occupants till they
rush into tho furthest corner, and keep
the poultry community in constant agi
tation and distress. But all domestic
animals appreciate the manners of fe
male attendants, when they are fortu
nate enough to be cared for by them.
