A ROMANTIC MECHANIC.

The Precedence Press relates . romantic
story of a mechanic in that city. Forty
years ago there lived in Providence, with
in u stones throw from where Grace church
now stands, young man Of great intelli-
gence and wonderful mechanical ability,
who spent a little fortune in the vain at
tempt at making perfect representation
Of Russia iron, and after as many failures
as attempts in this undertaking, he became
utterly ruined, financially. His ambition
for the secret increased as his fortune grew
smaller, and when absolute want stared
him in the face, he became possessed with
the determination to accept Of the only
means Of obtaining one Of the greatest
secrets in mechanical art. and to gain this
he must suffer penal servitude in the DIM
geons Of Russia. The rulers Of Russia are
the only possessors Of the art of making
what is known a. glazed Russia iron, used
extensively for all kinds Of stove and stove
pipe work, and which has for nearly a
century been made within the walls Of
Russia's underground prisons. None but
life convicts are allowed to be initiated in-
to the secrets Of the manufacture Of the
principal means Of income to the Russian
government, and when once within it,
walls no one need ever hope for pardon,
for none have ever been granted, while
but one has ever been known to escape.
and when the door is once shut to the ont
side world, 1t Is never known what has
been the fate Of the unfortunate This,
then, was the Providence mans last resort
for gang possession Of the secret which
had become his only ambition. He left
his home for Europe, and the simple ri.
NOR Of the attempted assassination Of the
CzaI by an American, and supposed % b
insane, was all that was ever known to hi;
friends Of what became Of the ambitious
mechanic, and as nearly half a GENTRY hai
ratified on since he set out upon his peril
GUS undertaking, hardly a person Twin!
will remember the circumstance which i
here recorded. There is one person, how
ever, in Providence, who remembers vel
the day the hero Of our sketch babe her ,
fearful farewell, promising that before sh,
reached her twentieth birthday he woulC
return to her and fulfill his promise. AL
through these long years she has never for
gotten her promise to wait for her lover
nor ceased to believe he would come fo
her. She now lives within a moment
walk Of the chimes Of Grace church. an,
is still well preserved, aud her grace anC
beauty make her far more attractive thar
many whose years are the same as wer,
hers when her lover separated from her s.
long ago. Last week she received the glaC
tidings from far away over the water tina
he who had SO long kept her patiently wait
ing was on his way to fulfill his promise o
forty years ago, and let US hope he maj
bring the secret he paid for 80 dearly, anC
that he may live to see some reward 70
his great sacrifice.
