I saw funny thing in big hardware
establishment here. 1t is a hand forge
with powerful blow wheel turned by
crank, instead of bellows. The funny
thing is fact connected with It's inven-
ton. A man down In Ccnnersville spent
years of his life and all OF his money in
perfecting an invention of his in the way
of water wheel. At last he had his
idea and the result of his great labors
end sacrifices materialized in wood and
iron and ready for the trial. The man
was confident of success, and in the
presence of number Of friends the trial
of the wheel that was to revolutionize
the utilization of water power came of.
1t was thorough and complete failure.
The principle upon which it was built
was wrong, and the defeat of the inven-
tor of water-wheels was final. The poor
man was in despair. At last an idea
struck friend who was examining the
machine while it was whirling, propelled
by hand when the water wasexpected to
whirl it. His hat was blown of. He
suggested that it be used as blower for
forge. The idea was acted upon, and
now thousands Of these FORCES, with the
powerful little blowers in the place Of
the tiresome, intermittent bellows, are
manufactured, and the man who invented
water-wheel is getting very wealthy
from windmill. 1t is like the venture
of Lord Timothy Dexter in taking I
ship load of warming. pans to the Yves
Indies, on the advice of some wicked
friends. The people took the pans TO
sugar bowls, the tops for strainers, ant
the whole load was soh at tremendou
profit.

Then Cludbam and Clauson came in
and secured her.
"Have you anything to say?' asked
Royce.
" Nothing at ALL" And they took her
out and turned her over to the sergeant,
who sent couple of men to headquarters
with her at once. Then the party got
into their positions again and waited for
the man. 1t was three o'clock in the
morning when he came. He tied his
horse as before, and entered the cabin.
He was no sooner inside than one of the
cavalrymen had the horse. AS he was
about to stoop by tire hearth the voice
overhead remarked:
eff you move muscle you are dead
manp
But he didn't heed. Springing through
the door, he cooked his revolver as he
went, and fired on the first man he saw,
which was Clauson. He made for his
horse, with bullets flying all around
him. When he saw it was gene he leaped
over the low fence, to be struck three
times before he touched the ground.
The cavalrymen and Cludham made
rush on him as he fell. But it was USE
less; he was quiet. They took the body
into the cabin, struck light and
searched it, to find nothing at all that
would tell his name or business. Near
the hearth sat the little basket Lizzie
Anderson had brought. 1t contained
late copies of the Philadelphia and
New York papers, and lengthy writ
ten details of the latest movements in
Patterson's column, with carefully cal
culated surmises of probable movements
in the future. In an envelope by itself
was the countersign of that night and
rude drawing of the picket line. Next
day, in accordance with orders from
headquarters, the stranger was buried
quietly in the woods where he fell.
Every means short of actual torture
was brought to bear on the girl Lizzie
Anderson to induce her to tell from
whom she had obtained her information
and the countersign, but the efforts were
useless. Her only answer was:
II come of Southern family that
never betrays its friends, right or wrong.
l will never tell anything"
And she didn't. She was held a close
prisoner until the command reached
Harper's Ferry, where, in the confusion
of Patterson's leaving and Banks taking
charge, one morning Lizzie Anderson
turned up missing, and Mary Lamb
mourned her departure.
II think it's downright shame, SO
do. bad all the trouble If catching that
particularly sharp young woman, and
then to think they had her run away at.

MARJORIE.
BY CELIA rHAxTER.

Marjorie hides in the deep,ssweet grass
Purple its tops bend over;
Softly and warmly The breexes pass,
And bring her the scent Of the clover
Butterflies iit, and the banded bee
BOGUS In the air above her;
Green and golden lady-bugs three
Marjorie's nest discover.
Up TO the top OF the grass tall
Creep they, while Marjorie gazes;
Blows the wind suddeny-down they fall So
Into. the disks of the daisies.
Brown-eyed Marioriel Who, do you think
Sings In the sun so loudly7
Majorie smiles. ''Tis tae boblink,
Caroiing gayly and proudly"
Rsight-locked Marjorie What floats down
Through the g,iden air, and fingers
Light your head cloudy crown,
Pink as your rosy hngesf
Apple blossomsl" she laughing cries,
Beautiful boats come sailing
Out OF the branches held up TO the skies,
Over the orchard railing"
Happy, sweet Marjorie, hidden away,
Birds butterflies, bees above her;
With flowers and perfumes and lady-bugs gay
Everything seems TO love her ASA. s i. SIS.

came out with small basket, and walked
down street toward the Opequan Creek,
whistling. Mary Lamb thought that
whistling was little familiar, and fol-
lowed it. The boy ahead walked down
to the creek, stopped his whistling, and,
after looking around, cautiously got over
the fence into the meadows, and walked
down the creeks bank. After about two
hundred yards he came to picket, gave
the countersign. and passed on.
The other boy did the same thing,
leaving the guard wondering if all the
boys in Martinsburg had the counter
sign. With careful lodging and watch
ing Mary followed the Objectionable boy
down the meadows through a narrow
piece of woodland, and had the pleasure
to see her enter small Lighthouse on the
edge of the ensuing clear land. Working
noiselessly up to this cabin to find it
closed and dark, she listened carefully,
but there was not q sound. In about
five minutes the boy came out, looked
around carelessly, and sauntered of again
towards the town, swinging his basket,
evidently empty. This time Miss Lamb
did not follow. She lay still concealed
by the nigh weeds and poke bushes, oc-
casionally wondering why snake did
not crawl up her trousers leg. Hour af-
ter hour she waited with becoming
patience, and just as she was beginning
to feel drowsy she heard the quick patter
of horses feet. The rider dismounted
about twenty yards from the cabin, tied
his horse, and went inside. In a moment
he came out again with small bundle
in his hand, evidently papers, which he
hastily concealed under his coat, but
toned it up, and cantered away. Then
Mary Lamb shook out her stifened
limbs and wendell her way back to Mar
tinsburg, astonishing the sleepy picket
by coming along with the countersign
just when daylight was beginning to
streak the east.
/ That day careful examination of the
old cabin was made. 1t was found simply
to be lonely, uninhabited, and nothing
more. The following afternoon Mary
Lamb concealed herself in the cabin loft,
while Jerome Clauson and Royce Clud-
ham picked themselves out convenient
hiding places among the rank vegeta-
ton outside, and cavalry sergeant was
carefully instructed where to post his
ten dismounted men handy in the woods
When evening came all were on the
watch. There was enough starlight to
render objects visible at short distances
The boy with basket appeared about
half an hour after shutdown. He entered
the cabin, and, setting down his basket,
proceeded to pull up a stone of the
dilapidated hearth. Then Miss Lamb
over his head, spoke:
Lizzie Anderson, if you move mus
Gle I'll blow your head offp' and the boy
didn't move.

Mary Lamb had been at the Union
House two or three days, when one
morning she heard Mrs. Maccabee jawing
as only an irate landlady of the war
times could jaw. The new girl had gone
off yesterday after supper to see some
other girl, and hadn't come back, and
her help was wanted, and she was bad.
mean, good for nothing, and generally
to be condemned in consequence. She
didn't turn up until the second morning
after, when she came in with her head
tied up and looking as though she hadn't
slept Tor week. She said she bad been
taken sick and stayed with her friend,
whose name she gave, and the landlady
said she would see about such carvings
on; then told her to 60 to work, and in
an hour forgot all about it. All these
things Mary Lamb noticed, and her sum
in arithmetic grew more complicated.
Royce" she said, "Pd give seven
dollars if you were a right good-looking
young fellew-a lady-killer, in fact"
Why, such a supererogatory wish +?
Who do you want killed? ?"
Nobody; but I'd just like somebody
to get that girl sweet enough on them to
find out who she is.
"She's Lizzie Anderson, 1 s'pose. At
least SO she gives herself out"
"She's no more Lizzie Anderson than
she is servant girl"
Do you think not?
The servant girl of the period don't
whistle arias from Fra Diavolo' and
swear softly to herself in French and
high German"

servantgalism, but 1 should suppose
they didn't-at least not to any alarm

"Well, this girl does"
I -"She shouldn't do it. Wouldn't you
be doing her kindness to talk to her a
little? Give her a tract about profane
swearing, or any other kind of swearing
lin fact, do something for her."
Yes-oh, yes; I'll do something for
her with the greatest pleasure in life if
she amt considerably sharper than ]
take her to be-"
From that time forward Miss Lamb
devoted her time and talents to watching
Miss Lizzie's movements. If the girl
went only ten yards from the house she
was Swallowed, and if she went further
she was watched with more vigilance.
Patience won its reward. Mary found
that the girl every second evening paid
visit of about two hours duration to a
house on one of the back streets of Mar
tinsburg, near the old Jail. Inquiry dis
closed nothing unusual about the house.
The inmates claimed to be strong Union
people, had made the acquaintance of
Miss Anderson by accident, and she came
there of an evening because'she knew nc
one else in the place. The affair was al
lowed to drop, and Miss Lamb, giving
out that she was going home to Pennsyl-
vania, left the hotel. That night, got up
as small vagabond boy, she losfed about
until Miss Anderson entered the house in
