I love
A forest maiden; she is mine;
And on Sierra's slopes of pine, i a
The Tines below, the snows above, g>
A solitary lodge is set 8]
Within a fringe of watered lire;
And there my wigwam fires burn,
Fed by a round brown hand? t>]
That small brown flrithfid band of hers (Jj
That never rests till my return. jj.
The yellow smoke is rising yet;
Tiptoe afeksce it where you stand, ^
Lift like a column from Jie land. TJ
There are no sea gems in her hair; ^
Ko jewehr fret her dimpled hands; hi
And half her bronzed limbs are bare; C
But round brown arms have golden bands, ^
Broad, rich, and by her canning hands
Cat from the yellow virgin ore, 10
And she does not desire more. tfa
I wear the beaded wampum belt
That sfc3fcaa,wofeg (ha sable pelt r .
That sbe has friqghd red threads around;
And fntbe morn, when men are out, C<
1 wake the valley with the shot r0
That brings the brown deer to the ground;
A ad she beside the lodge at noon
8lngs with the wind, while baby swings W<
In sea shell cradle by the bough; qj
Sings low?so like the clover sings ^
With swartnsof bees. I hear them now;
I see her sad face through the moon
Such songs! would earth had mure of such! ly
She has not much to say; and she
Lifts never voice to question ine 3
In aught I do.... and that is much. 60
I lure ber for ber patient trust,
And my lore's forty-fold return?
A ralue I bare not to learu
As you..... at least as tuanj must
P*
She is not over tall aor fair;
Her bieists are curtained by her hair;
And sometimes, through the silken fringe, 8p
I see ber bosom's wealth, like wine, tX
Burst through, In luscious, ruddy tinge? ^
And all its wealth and worth are mine.
I know not that one drop of bleod
Of prince or chief is in her reins;
I simply say that she is good fr<
And lores me with pure womanhood. ,
When that is said, why, what remains? *

attracted the attention uv Mr. Tweed by yc

wink in his left eye, "I wood sejest that r

The Chairman turned pale with sur- I

"And while yoo are at it," continued t

Fire-Proof Bnildings.
n Interview with Supervising Architect
Muliett.
The Washington correspondent of the
Jincinnati Commercial has recently had a
onversation with Mr. Muliett, supervis
ag architect of the Treasury Department,
n the subject of fire-proof buildings. In
newer to a remark made by the corns ondent,
be said:
"Why, my friend; you don't know what
ou're talking about. You now know that
here was not a fire-proof building in Chiago.
I could have told you that beforeand."
"Why the Tribune office was regarded
8 fire-proof, and other marble and granite
uildings were so regarded. I believe they
nly lacked iron shutters," I ventured tc
eply.
"Iron fiddles!i;ks," he answered snap'ishly.
' *1 hope you don't think that a
ranite or marble building is fire-proof.
)on't you know that granite, when sub<
ected to a strong heat, crumbles like dry
ilaster. It is the best building stone in
he world; it will resist time, and damp,
,nd rain, and everything else, but it won't
esist fire. Marble is not much better,
?ut it is some; marble will not burn up ae
oon as granite. Sandstone is about the
ame, with some few exceptional varieties,
fow, a good many blessed idiots think
hat if a vault is built of granite it is fire
nd burglar-proof. Nothing of the sort,
f I wanted to make a secure vault, I
houldn't make it of granite. A skillful
>urglar can get into a granite vault in nc
ime. With a large blow-pipe and a small
harp blaze well handled a burglar can
rack a block of granite to pieces before
ou'd know it. When subjected to a score
heat it cracks and splits off in flakes,
on" if infft QQ n rl with vnti 1
iliU \uu iau v-trou aw iuw ummv* ^
ingers. Ob, no, a granite building is nol
ire-proof."
"Well, what sort of building is fire.
>roofV"
"A granite building," be answered,
without apparently noticing the question,
'will stand heat a great while, so will
Garble a great while. But a wooden
upola, or steeple, or tower, must not be
tut on top of it, like that on the Chicago
Courthouse. A man must be a fool to dc
, thing like that. I'd also like to kno*
tow a sensible man could be such a foo'
the language is Mullett's) as to think the
Chicago 2W6une office was fire-proof when
aore than half the windows did not have
ron shutters? It don't take fire long to
rasli through glass and sash. People
ught to understand these things when
luilding what they call fire-proof build gs;
for a fire-proof building that t*n'i
ire-proof is no better than one that isn't,
)o you understand? Now I can't alwayi
lo as I want to in the erection of public
?uilding8. Sometimes I have to leave
ron shutters off, and sometimes I have to
>ut wood in places where stone or iror
iught to be, but it isn't because I don'l
tnow better. Congress never thinks o:
3 these things. They think that if a bnild3
ing is made of granite or marble, that's
3 all that i# necessary. Iron shutters and
3 all such things cost something. I make
f my estimates for a public building, but
* they are always cnt dotal so I have to
* cnt down my plans. Now in this Chicago
t horror yon see the effects. I'll bet you
? the proprietors of the Tribune tall hare
* iron blinds on their upper windows in
1 their next building."
J "What difference will it make," I asked,
E "if granite is not fire-proof?"
i "Granite is not fire-proof," he contin
ned, "but, as I said before, it will stand
J a good deal. It is probable that the court1
house would have stood had it not been
3 for the wooden cupola and the open windows.
The Tribune office would probably
i have stood it if it had iron shutters outi
side on all the windows. Yet it is by no
means certain, if the fire raged with the
> intensity that is described."
"What, then, is to be done," I asked,
- *- - " i "? i.i
' "l! granite ana marDie ana sandstone are
> not fire-proof? Is not the capital, the
I treasury, the patent office, the postoffice
? department, fire-proof?"
r "Why, bless your soul, nol Not one of
> them. But they are probably safe, for b\\
that, because they stand away from other
> buildings?all except the postoffice. If we
; should have such a fire in Washington as
> that in Chicago, I should fear for the postoffice
building. Why, my dear sir," he
continued in a more snappish tone than
ever, "do you know there is but one fireproof
government building in the country?
That's the appraiser's stores in Phiiadelpbia.
The material is brick. Brick is
the only absolutely fire-proof building material
I know o? They say the Seneca
t stone is fire-proof, and it has stood some
wonderful tests, but none of the govern1
ment buildings have been built of it. Of
k course, granite and marble are good
' enough, if buildings are apart from others,
i That's the trouble. Government build1
ings ought to have big grounds around
' them. Then there would be no danger.
But I have great faith in iron shutters."
' Woodhall on the Rampage.
She Attempt* to Bed ace a Steamboat Clerk
?A Second Joseph Andrews.
The Albany limes gives the following
r very amusing account of Victoria Wood^
hull's journey up from New Yoik on the
Troy boat:
Just before the steamer Connecticut left
her dock in New York the night before
last, a carriage drove up to the wharf,
, and from it emerged three persons, two
, wearing the garb of women and one dressed
in the habiliments of the sterner sex;
but nature or custom seemed reversed in
. this instance, for one of the seeming females
gave orders to the coachman, paid
, the fare, attended to the baggage, pur,
chased the passage tickets, and then gave
her arm to the healthy mortal who had
stood by holding a poodle and carrying a
, parasol, marched him into the cabin of the
steamer and seated him upon a cushioned
; chair, while she went in search of a state
I room. Her female companion, she found,
> had alreany purchased a room, but it was
[ in a gangway, and it made the first lady
t very angry to find that her friend had
> been so sadly imposed upon. So with
dashing eye and scowling visage she
marched straight to the clerk and de
manded that the room be changed for a
i better one, "for," said the lady, as she
stood on her tiptoes and glared in furiously
at the clerk, "I am Victoria C. Woodhull,
of 44 Broad street, New York.
"Oh!" murmured tie clerk, with the
, greatest timidity, "I was not aware of
i that;you shall have the best room on the
t boat, your great financial head shall rei
pose on the same downy pillows upon
> which the noble Fisk did slumber just
> one month ago to-night;" and he handed
r the lady the key of the bridal chamber.
I Over her face there stole a smile as
> bright as the sun at noonday, and she cast
i a look of such ineffable tenderness upon
> the clerk that he actually wilted. Yet be
> managed to ask:
> "Who is that male spinster that is with
i you?"
"That is my ," but the crowd putht
ed her forward, and the rest of the sen,
tence was lost in the noise of the departure
s or tne Doai. ?>ui m a iew uiuiueuus u
j waiter brought down to the clerk a beau)
tiful boquet with a card attached, upon
which was written: 4'Compliments of
i Victoria C. Woodhull." In a moment
t another waiter appeared; he brought a set
f of elegantly bound book* for the clerk.
Next came a box of bonbons, then an invitation
to attend the lady at supifcr,
which the clerk had to decline* This was
not all. All through the early part of the
night came messages from the charming
Victoria to the handsome clerk, Frank
Baker, until, in sheer desperation, he
barred his door, and refused admittance
to any one; still the messages were all of
the most ladylike character.
By daylight next morning, the lady was
at his window, but the boat had arrived
at Albany, and the clerk slipped unobserved
out of his room and ran away. Our
reporter saw him running, and the cause
of his haste. Wildly he answered, that it
was from some one who claimed him as
her affinity, and then, as his excitement
subsided, he related in the strictest confidence
the above horrible tale. V. C. W.,
is now in Troy attending the Spiritualists1
Convention, and poor Frank Baker is in
the most abject misery, fearful that he
may be again beset by the attentions and
blandishments of Victoria, on her financial
bower of Broad street, and the housetop
of Murray Hill, where she communes
(vide Theodore Tilton's biography) with
Demosthenes and other guardian spirits,
in untrammelled affinity.
Alice Cary's Love.
The Facts About Her Relations with Rn*
fm W. Grliwold.
A story under title of the "Unknown
Love of Alice Cary," in the newspapers,
is still traveling through the length of
the land. It asserts that in her youth she
was affianced to Rufus W. Griswold; that
he was false to her?forsaking her for a
woman of the world; that long after,
when he return to New York friendless,
poor, and sick, she forgave him the great
wrong that he had done, and nursed him
till he died. This story, in many conflicting
phases, tfas often to her great annoyance
told of her during her life. The fact
that Rufus W. Griswold did iu his last
will bequeath to her his personal effects
was made much of in printed and private
circles, and used as an unanswerable
proof that at one time he had been
her lover. Within a week I have read,
in alettef to the New York Hfvening Post,
that the will proved the love and relationship
between the two persons beyond a
doubt. Yet no less, in its foundation the
story is fa!se. Referring to it at once,
while we two sat alone together, Alice
said to me: "I will tell you just the truth.
If you ever think' it necessary, you can
* ' '* " l- U-i 1A LA. ka
tell." i Deueve it 10 uui juaucc tu uci oacred
life, with which idle gossip is yet
too busy, to tell it now. Bereavement in
death and in life had made her Western
home too desolate to be borne. These
with the impulse of the brave will that
served her to the last, brought her to
New York to make not the life that she
would have chosen for herself, yet a life
worthy to be lived.
"Ignorance stood me in the st ead of
courage," she said. Had I known the
great world as I have learnd it since, I
should not dared, but I didn't. Thus I
came." The leading litterateur at that
time was Dr. Bufus GrisWoW. He had
compiled the books called "The Female
Prose writers" and "The Female Poets
of America." He was sharply on the
lookout for every new genious in literature
that appeared. He had visited the
sisters in their Ohio home, and in ISoO had
obtain a publisher for their first volume,
and had added both their names, with
selections from their poems, to his own
"Poets of America." He knew everything
necessary totheir success in the
sphere of labor which they had chosen,
while they practically kaew next to nothing.
He encouraged and helped them
in many ways, and thus command their
gratitude. For Alice to incur a debt of
gratitude was to pay it, even at the cost
of her life. Yet even the good will of one
type of man to a woman is often a misfortune.
Her soul may be white as snow;
yet he cannot take her innocent name
upon his lips without smirching it with
somewhat of his own vileness. His van"

conquest has not only become the habit,
but the necessity, of his morbid and miserable
soul; till, where he knows be has
not won it, he yet is base enough to boast
of it. Such a man (judging of every
record left of him) was Iiufus W. Griswold.
lie was a man of poetic temperament,
of fine scholarship, of generous impulses,
and in certain directions of rare gifts; yet
j no less he was a man of fickle fancies, of
violent tempfer, Which often fell upon hiW
dearest friends r of monstrous vanity, and
of tfngoverned pasfcionS.
"I was never engaged to hitti ft &?friage;I
never krted him," said AlicW
Cafy tome. "1 could not have loveW
such a man, though I learned him in hir
best phases. As a friend I owed him
much, and befcfre his death I found it in
my power to pay back in part my large
4:bt of gratitude. When 1 6 rettfaid Uf

how big and strong she is; yet even she

the bobift and pictures whicft he tfequeathed
to the Historical Society, these
were all that he possessd, and left to me
not more out of personal regard than fromf
a desire to repay as iar as be was able
the money which I had expeuded for his'
comfort during his long sickness.
In the profoundest sense Alice dary
never loved but once. The man whom'
she loved is still alive; yet goesip with thfe
keenest scent, has never fond or naatodf
him. With all her fullness of affection,
hers was an electric and solitary sotoL

proud and prosperous family brought'
all their pride and power to bear on a son
to prevent his marrying a girl unedocated,
rustic, and poor. "I waited for one *
who never came back," she said, "yet I 1

paper his marriage ti Another. Can yon
think what fife would be?loving one,

He did come at last. I saw him. Hia
wife had died. Alice was dying. TUb
gray-haired man sat down beside the grayhaired
moman. Life had dealt prosperously
with him, as is its wont with men.
Suffering and death had all from her save
