Mr.. HoBBs AND THE ENGLISH LoCKsMITHs.-
1t is now pretty generally known that until the
year of the Great Exhibition, nobody had sue
ceeded in obtaining the s'two hundred guineas
offered by Messrs. Bramah to any person who
could pick their celebrated lock. This piece OF
mechanical ingenuity was at last performed by
MIR. Hobbs, from America, who was not lock
maker, but a lock-picker; since then the art Of
picking locks has become somewhat elevated
and has attracted the attention of several Of our
frst-rate engineers. The, Society of Arts, in
John street, Adelphi, DESTROYS of promoting the
skill of English locksmths, issued circular last
year for premiums on various articles of manu-
features, among which was s'for good lock, .
combining strength, and great security from fraud
ulent attempts, cheapness, freedom from disar-
rangement by dirt, and requiring only small
key. The conditions upon which the prize of
fl0 was to be awarded seem to be somewhat in
consistent with the object required; but neverthe-
less the offer commanded attention, and the sue
cessful competitor was MIR. Saxley, of Sheerness
and to him the prize was awarded by the commit
tee, the chairman being Mr.. Chubb, the lock
maker in st. Paul's churchyard. BY letter
from Mr.. Hobbs, which appears in the Journal O
the Society Of .4rts, of the Oath of June, we find
that Mr.. Hobbs's curiosity, which was only
equalled by his modesty in not competing for
the prize induced him to inspect this piece OF
mechanism which the committee, presided over
by MIR. Chubb, had pronounced to be one most
in accordance with the prescribed rules of the
society; when, so far from its possessing tina
''great security" required he discovered that i
was constructed on the principle of the ssYal
lock, such as are manufactured by Mr.. Cotterill
of Birmingham and to prove to the persons pres
ent that it possessed sssecurity, - Mr.. Hobbs
taking small straight iron wire from his pocket
and thin strip of STEEL opened it in the presence
of several members of the society in three min
utes.-London Bankers Circular.

Humane Society sent her a most hat

presented her with a handsome silver
teapot and she received almost innu

value, form admiiing strangers. A pub

prictors of one or more of the metro

amusements, on conditions that she
would merely sit in a boat, for brief
space, during the performance of a
piece whose chief attraction she was
to be.
All such offers we're, however,
promptly and steadily refused. 1t is,
gratifying to state, that amidst all this
tumult ofapplause Grace Darling ncv-
cr for moment forgot the modest dig.
nifty of conduct which become her
sex and station, The Aattering tcsti-
monials of all kinds which were show
cred upon her, never produced i'll her
mind any feeling but sense of Won
der and grateful pleasure. She con-
tinucd. notwithstanding the improve
ment Of circumstances, to reside at
the Longstone lighthouse with her
father and mother, finding, i'll her lin
tied sphere of domestic duty on that
sea-giit inlet, more honorable and
more rational enjoyment then could be
found in the crowded haunts of the
mainland and thus affording, by her
conduct, the best proof that the liber-
ality Of the public had not been un-
worthily bestowed.
1t is a melancholy reflection that
one so young and gentle should have
been struck down almost before the
plaudits excited by her noble deed had
died away that the grasp of death
should have been fastened on her just
as she had bioomcd into womanhood.
She was consumptive, and had long
been aware that death was approaching;
but it gave her no uneasiness. She
was never heard 10 utter her complaint
during her illness, but exhibited the
resignation of a true Christian, and
calmly awaited death, which overlook

Grace Darling.

Near the Northumbrian coast of
England are twenty-five masses of
rock, called the Farne islands. The
largest of these (Farne) is a desolate
and barren spot. Over the greater
part Of it there is not a blade of grass,
nor a grain Of earth. The solid rock
rises straight up from the deep sea, so
that a person might step off into wa
ter one hundred fathoms deep, while
its surface rises into black and Jagged
cliffs, between which are worn and dis
NAL dells, filled with sea weed and
large, round stones, Worn smooth by
the water, which rushes in at high tide,
roaring and foaming. The rafting
sound may be heard at a great dis
tance. The edges are so sharp that
ships cast upon them are cut and bro
ken in moment.
Longstone island is smaller rock
about a mile from Farne, and through
the channel between them the sea
rushes with such force, that it is dan
gerous even in pleasant weather. Du-
ring a violent storm the scene among
these islands is awful beyond descrip-
ton. The mingling roar of wind and
water almost browns the screams oi
countless sea.birds, and the shrieks ol
mariners as their ships dash on the
sharp rocks. Before lighthouses were
built upon them, shipwrccks were o.
common occurrence, but now the FarnC
lights warn vessels not to approach
the deadly coast. 1t is necessary that
these lights should be constantly atten
ded to, so that the keepers generally
reside with their families on the islands
seldom crossing over to the mainland
In the year 1926 William Darling wa:
appointed keeper of the Longstont
light house. He is described as un
commonly steady and intelligent, anc
lived very happily with his wife an(
children on the lonely island.
In so solitary a situation it is neces
sary that person should be of tina
character which has resources in itself
for the mind of an ordinary man woul,
be apt to suffer from want of excite
ment and novelty,while superior min'
would be Independent of the rest O
society, and improve itself in such
manner as to make life pass agreeably
Of this superior character was vii
liam Darling. the father of Grace Dal
ling, whose name has become 50 cele
brated.

The Lost One.

We meet around the board-thou art not there
Over our household joys hath passed
gloom;
Beside the fire we see thy empty chair,
And miss thy sweet voice in the silent room
What hopeless longing after thee ariscl
Even for the sound of thy small hand pine
And for the sound of thy dear little feet,
Alas tears dim my eyes;
Meeting in every place some joy of thine;
Or when fair children pass me in the street.
Beauty was on thy check and thou didst seen
\ privileged being chartered from decay
And thy free spirit like mountain stream
Thou hath no ebb kept Oh its cheerful way
Thy laugh was like the inspiring breath o
Spring,
That thrills the heart, and cannot be unfclt
The sun the moon, the green leaves, and
the flowers,
Aud every living thing,
Were n strong joy to thee; thy spirit dwelt
Gladly in life, rejoicing in its powers.
Oh what had Death to do with enc like thoel
Thou young and loving one, whose soul did
cling,
Even as the ivy clings unto the tree,
To those who loved thee: thou whose tears
would spring,
Dreading a short days abscncc-didst thou 60
Alone into the future world unseen,
Solving each awful untricd mystery
The dread unknown to linownl
To he where mortal traveller hath not been,
Whence welcome tdings cannot come from
thee.
Ny happy boy-and murmcr that Death
Over thy young and buuyant frame had pow
err
In yon bright land love never pcrishcth,
Hope may not mock, nor grief the heart
dcvour.
The beautiful are round thce--thou dost keep
Within the Eternal Presence, and no more
Mays't death, or pain, or separation dread.
Thy bright eyes cannot weep,
Nor they with whom thou art thy loss dcplorc;
For they are of the living, not the dead.
Thou dwcllcr with the Unseen, who hast ox
The universe unknown, thou, to whom death
and heaven
Are mysteries no more whose soul is stored
With knowledge for which men have vainly
strivcn.
Beloved child Oh when shall lie down
With thee beneath fair trees that cannot
fade
When from the immortal rivers quench my
thirstl
Lft'S journey spcedeth on;
Yet for little while, we walk in shade
Anon It's donc-dcath hath the cloud dispers-
ed,
And DER the hills of heaven the eternal day
hath burst.

From Mrs. Childs Life of Isaac T Hopper
The Umbrella Girl.

4 young girl, the only daughter of
poor widow, removed from the country
to Philadelphia to earn her living by
covering umbrellas. She was very
handsome with glossy black hair, large
beaming eyes, and lips like wet coral.
She was just at that susceptible age
when youth is ripening into womanhood,
when the soul begins to be pervaded BY
that restless principle, which impcls
poor humans to seek perfection i'll union

she worked, an English traveller, called

ty. lie easily traced her to the store,
where he soon after went to purchase
an umbrella. This was followed up by
presents of flowers, chats by the way
/ side, and invitations to walk or ride !;
all of which were gratefully accepted by
the unsuspecting rustic for she was as
ignorant Of the dangers Of city as were
the squirrels of her native fields. He
was merely playing a game for tempora-
ry excitement. She, with Il heart full
of romance, and heart melting under
the influence of love, was unconsciously
cndangcring the happiness of her whole
life

conveyed it to her lodgings. 1t was
the first thing she had ever stolen, and
her romorse was painful. She would
have carried it back, but she dreaded
