THE MIL?TcB?M^EY4 _ -3 I THE STORY OF-A RRICKLAIRH 'TV-vs when I was courting int that, the accident Tm going td te you about happened.- But forth! same accident Idon't think Kati a I woultftie man an' wife this d)W< you see my lather was set againjthi match, Katie being only a lahoCr daughter, while he himself was-f/fi maw in the mills, getting good wa?e and thought a great deal of by Ih employers. An' ir it wasn't tor tie, I don't think I'd be here DO ut tell you about it, for it was she ba saved ray life, through hitting oi plan that never once came into [h heads of me or my comrades-sri or those you'd have thought '.voil know better than any of ns. I. was not brought up to my fail ?r's trade, having been taken, woe young by a brother of my motbey* i master bricklayer living ia tb Sown. When my uncle died I caiji li?me to Lifgarven for a bit, just t ?ee ray father, and finding that the vere at work on the new buildings a .he mills, I looked for employ men here, an' got it at once. Lisgarv? nil! is a Hour mill, an' a pretty plac t was in those days, with the rive unning just by thc old red bric) mildings, au' the big waterwheel al vays going round an' rouud. Th. iver tails into a larger one a Jjj.th ower down^an' the tide c&uies'?p t? ar as the mill,so 'tia in boats thal aost of the corn is brought in an' th? lour carried away. 'Tisn't half sc iretty a place now ; there are bif rbitewasbcd buildings alo g?ide o he old brick ones, thc big wheel i< topped; an' you hear the whirr o: he engines instead of the sound ol he water, but they makes a powei if mousy there, an' gives a deal ol raployment. As I was saying, I got taken on st , bricklayer. Katie's father wat i'orkiug there, too, and I used to see 1er bringing him his dinner, and, af er a bit, I hegan to think that I'd ike to have her bringing me-raine, oo. She was as pretty a girl then s you'd see anywhere-she's good ooking to this day-an' I poon bc 8rae that fond of her that I'd have loue anything a'most to get her. She terself was willing enough; 'twas ay father that made the difficulty. Ie was a proud man; a9 proud in his ray as any gentleman, an' he was iglit down mad at the .notion of my Harrying a 'aborer's daughter. To o sure, I was earning good wages, ,'i' might have married without aek ng atiy one's leave if I'd been so ii oded, but I didn't like to go again' lie old man that had always been ood to me. Beside, Katie was just a proud aa himself, an' would have othing to say to me unless he waa ati???ied. I got tbe owner to speak a bira, but sure 'twasn't a bit of use. "How.would you like, sir," he says a the owner, "if I had a daughter, a luv? Master Philip take up with er, an'wouldn't that be the same bing?'* I believe that the owner didn't bink it would bo at all the s-tme hing; but my father wouldn't hear bo reason from him any more than rora rae; so Katie an' I had just noth ag for it but to wait in the hope of is coinin' rouud, an' very little hop? re had of that same.. As we were putting up a 6team en ;ine in tbe mill, we had of course to ave a big chimney, an' we got a man own from town to build it-one of hem chaps that build* chimneys-a^ othing else, and thinks nobody knows nything about it but theirselves. I /as working along with him, and,in leed, 'twas I that built the most of t, and a tight goad job it was. 'Twas inished by Christmas-ten year ag) his Christmas coming on-all but the igbtning conductor, and that was not ?ut up owing to the owner's wanting o Lna'ie inquiries when he'd go to own an' to see for himself what v'ould ba tho best kind to use. The iroprietor was a scientific sort of a ?entleman, an' bad ideas of his own -sometimes they'd be better than ither people's, sometimes maybe not o good. At any rate, there was a delay ibout the conductor, an' in the uaean ime tbe engines were ac work, an' he big chimney was smoking away ike bleftes.? Mr. Brown, fha strange workman, had gone away, say i 1 very condescending like, that he v sore Jim Forde (that' was me) wot be able to fasten the rod to the chi ney as well as he could do it hims He took all his scafFoldirig with hi but, before lie went, .av.iy, he. iked : beam with a pulley in it into the ? J of the chimney, an' left ;i long ro j hanging through it, so. that a ta could be hoisted up at any time ; a j there the rope hung dangling. yts\ j after week, uiitil the owner cia I home, bunging the .od along wi j him. Once it had come there was 1 good losing any more time in Jixii it, so one Saturday afternoon in JA uary, up I weet on. a plank, slung s curely at the ?nd of the rope, n tools along with me,' an' settled m self astride on the stone copin Twas rather late in the clay, but t! -looming had been too wet an" storrr to work, an' the owner wa* as i raj.;; -lieut to get thejobdone as if it iuulu been him eif that was hindering it a this time. I was as uracil at hore atop of the chimney as ? WAS on tl ground, au' I v/orked ou wiuiouton-? lookiug do'.in, until my job w;is -fit i.shed, ari' I was putting up my tool j Theu, ali o. it sudden, I he?ir;d a rai tiing noise, an' looking over, I sa* ' the plank going down very fast'; ri. ealied out: "Hullo, there! send tba up again, will you ?--' but r.he ojal; answer I got WAH. a loud laugh, lb all thc world like silly Jerry the.oaf ural's; and sure enough there he wai standing by the windlass, juinpipj an' clapping his hands. I looked about, for the mun vvbtOE business it was to manage thc wind I ?s, but uot ? sign of Iii AI was thr-rt an* in a minute I heard thc rattle o the pile again, nu' saw that the rop was running through it in tho '."ron direction. I male' a gr?b at it, tm 'twas j -rked out of my hand, an: be fore I could catch it ag-tin the enc had slipped through, nu' there I was more than a hundred feet from tin ground,- not knowing how in tb? world I was to get down, ?ii- Jern dancing an' capering below, CM!lin. out : "Come down an' thra?li rae now -Mr. Forde, won't you ?" Then I remembered that a lew dayi before ? had found this boy annoying "K?tie, an' had given him a out wit! ?twwitch I had in my baud. H? hat slunk away without a word at tht time; but it seems he remembered frh< blow, an' took this way of being re venged. . Well, at first I was scarcely fright ened, expecting somehow that once the people below knew of the fix 1 waa in, they'd find eorae way or otbei of getting me out of it. But, when I carne to think of it, deuce a bit ol a way could I hit cn myself, an' sure I knew more about ehimueys tb AP. any one oise in the place. 'Twas getting hte, too; there wouldn't be much more than am-iher ha f hour of day light, an* the wind wnsriLing--I could hear it whistling through the trees. By this time people knew what had happened, un' a crowd was col lecting; I could see them comin r from ail parts, for ol' course 1 had a view all about. I eaw a boy go up to the door of the counting-house, an' pres ently young Squire Phillip came run ning out-running as if for iiis life. When he came, he took the command like, an' began giving directions, an' the people, who had only t-taied at first now ran here an' there as he sent them. Fir*t they brought ont a long ladder, au' fixed it on the roof below the chimney. I could have told them that 'twas too short know ing as I did the length of every lad der in the place: but somehow, though I heard their shouts plainly, I could not make them hear mino; it seemed as if thc voices went up "like smoke. Then there was a greatdelay while they went for a longer ladder, and lhi3, too, didn't reach h ll way. A man climbed up it, however, an' call ed out to know . had I a bit of etring in my pocket that I could let down. Not a bit could I find. I had had a big ball only the day before, but I had taken it out of my pocket an' put .it on a shelf at home. I took off my braces, an' fastened them an' my pocket handkereief together: but they didn't near reach thc top of the lad der, BO that plan had to be given up. All this time the wind was rising, an' I was getting numb with cold, an' ! stiff and cramped from being so long .i-n the one position. There was a big '? -clock right over the gateway just op p?sito, an' I saw that it only wanted j twenty minutes of live, an' once the j darkness set irj, what little hope I [ had would be gone. The young squire seemed to havel gone away by this time, but there | was ray father among ti"? crowd ; an' ; who should 1 see, standing next him, an' holding on by his arm, but Ka- j tie ! They had forgotten everything \ but the fright about me, nn' he seem- j ed to be talking to her, an' comfort* j ing her. After a bit 1 saw I he young equire again ; he had a big thing in j I his hand looking like pocket-hand- j I kerchiefs stretched over a frame, nu' ; I saw that it was a kite, an' I hat they meant to send a string up to mo itt that way. But you never in all your life Baw such an unmanageable kite. First 'twas too heavy, an' then 'twas too light, and then the time I seemed to lose making a tail to si< it ! I heard after that part of same tail was made bf bank-n Squire Philip took out of his poi when he. couid get nothing else qi enougli He got them all back la for not a man, woman or child in place would have touched one of tl when they saw him using them that way. .When the kite did go up at the wind was so high that they co not manage it properly. It came v near ms once, an' I made a snatcL the siring, nearly over-reaching r, self in doing so; but I missed it, just then there came a terrible g of wind, the string broke, an' kite was carried away, an' stuck 1 in the branches of a big tree ben i tho proprietor's hous9. I looked 01 at the clock to see how much, til was left me, au' I found that I coi not see. the hands any longer; I darkness had come on in the last-f minutes. Then I give up all ho for I knew I could never hold on I morning. l ilied to think o.f deah.^an' make myself .ready for it, but' couldn't-not ? prayer, nor. a go word could I call to'mind, only, j ing over an' over again in my he the way 'twould sill happen-how t people would go away one by br how I'd be left alone in the darkin and the howling wind, an' how last I'd not be able to hold on lon er, an' fall, an' be found in the mor ing all crushed out of shape. Tl people below seemed to have givi up all thought of helping me no1 an' were standing quite quiet. 'Twas so dark by this time that could not distinguish the faces at a I could jn^t make out Squire Phili in his dark shit among the white mil men, an' poor Katie. She was croud ing down on the grbnnd now, hi apion over-her bead. 'All of n stu den I saw her leap up with a gre? cry, an' clap her hands, an* eil1.' ot something. Then there was a coi fused sort of shout as if every one i the crowd was saying the same thin at the sa e time; an' then Fquii Philip, making a sign to pilenee then put his two hands up to bis rnoutl an'sung out in a voice that enm up to me above the noi?3 of th wind : \ "Take off your stocking and rayt it ; the thread will reach the ground. At first I didn't understand birr being dazed like, but then the meat ing came on me ?ike a message fror heaven. I got eli one of my sock with some trouble-nico new one they were, foo, of Katie's own knit ting, that she had given me for 1 Christmas box-an' with the helpc my teeth I loosened one end of th thread. It gave readily enough al ter that, an' when I had a good pied cf it ripped I lied my knife to titi end of it to make it heavy, an' let i drop, ripping more au' more of th* sock rs it went down. Then I felt il stop, au' presently there came a shoo telling me to wind it up again. Very slowly an' carefully I did it, fearing the string would, break, an' when the last bit of it cima up, there was a piece of .strong twine tied to the end of it. The twiue in jts turn brought the rope I had qone np by, an' then I felt that I Wc-.s safe. I managed somehow - to put it through the pulley, an* to haul up the plenk, an' as soon as they had fastened the other end to the wind lass bslow, they gave rae thc word'to come down. I was so numb an' stiff that leonid not fis myself on the plank, but 1 managed somehow to cling to the ropes with my hands. Down, down I came, every turn of the windlass mak ing the voices below seem nearer an' when I was within a few feet bf the ground there were a down pairs of arms ready to catch me, an' a scoie of hands held out to mi, an' a hun dred voices to welcome me. An' there was my father wailing for me, un' Philip saying ; "But for the girl he'd have been up there still. Not one of us would have thought of the stocking; 'twas thc brightest idea I've come across this many a day. She has saved his life, Forde, ami you can't refuse your consent any longer.'" But when f looked round for Ka tie, she was nowhere to be seen. She must have slipped off as f-oon as she ShW 1 was safe. The young squire hurried my fath er an' mc away.T didn'.t . quite know where, I was so da^ed, but in a min ute or two I lound myself in a warm lighted dining-room at the master's house, an' Master Philip shaking hands with my father. . As soon as i could, I made my escape, an' went down to Katie's cottage. I hadn't been there five minutes when there was a knock at the door, and in walks ray father. He went straight up to Katie, holding out his hand. '"Katie, my girl," he said, "I've j come to ask your pardon for anything I've ever soid or done against you, au' if you an' Jim are. still- of . the same mind. I won't hinder you from j marryiug. 'Tis you have the best! right to him, for you've saved hie life." i ! ? i "And 'tis proud an' glad T am that I was able.to do thai same, Forde," said Katie., ? "And you'll marry hiia; won't j my dear ?'* "If you're satisfied, sir." "I am, my'dear, quite satisfied.

The Blue Ridge Railroad Compai of South Carolina was chartered that State, Georgia, North Caroli and Tennessee in 1852.

Tbe ol je t of the ince porators was to connect Chariest* with the great North jrc-st by a dire line of rails whichjyvould shorten.tl distance to Chicago and Cineinnti over the existing- linis by about ?? miles. On the South Carolina ai Georgia end of tbe line over $4.00( U?0 were expended before the' civ war put an end to the work. ?: tli sum the State of South Carol ina'an the City fit .Charleston contri bute $3,000,000, and thc balance was rait ed by voluntary* subscriptions an mos tgage bond?, which are now th only existing liens- oii the- road.:* 1 Sooth Carolina 43 miles'of the roa were completed, connecting Ande: sjn with Wal lin Ha, and this sectk of the road has been in good runniii ordei ever since.

About4,5G feet of this tunnel were comple- ei 450 feet being bored through flii rock. By means., of the tunnel th grade over the mountains has bee reduced to 70 feet to the mile, whic ins an easier grade than that of any ( tile other railroads crossing the Bio Ridge and the Alleghenies. In th State of Georgia two small tunnel Were part of the original plan of th road. Ono ol them is entirely com pleted, and the other is very near! so. A large part ot' the grading i Georgia is also completed. The roa< runs directly through the Rabnn G<jr which admits of a passage throng] the mountains at a comparatively trifling expense. On the northwes tern end of the line eighteen miles c road were completed from Knoxvill to Maryville, Tenn,, and thia portioi has been in running order ev?? sino it was built. At this end ot the 'roa*, about $1,000,000 were expended bj the State of Tenneesee, under the In ternal Improvement Act. Ono' hun dred and thirty-five "miles ol the road as originally surveyed, remain to b< constructed. The work was .being rapidly pioeecuted when the civil wai higas, and that put a veto on tho en terprise which ha* not been renewed up to the present time. A numbei of New York and Boston capitalists are now preparing to- take possessio!) of the charter, and push the roar! through to completion. A prominent South Carolina citizen now in New York told a Tithes re porter some very interesting incta io regard to the Bine Ridge Railroad and the roads with which it will com pete for business if it is built as orig? itally designed. He said; "The mort gage liens on this property consist ot ii rat-mortgage bonds to. the amount o' $236,000, with inter?s* since 1801 and second mortgage bonds to the amount of $593.000. In 1S54 a fi ret mortgage loan ol' $2,000,000 was au thorized by the company, but under this authority bonds to the amouut 0! $230,000 only were issued. In the a*me year the Legislature of South Carolina guaranteed bonds to the company to complete the road to the amount of $1,000,000. This guaran tee was never used, but in 1868 the Legislature confirmed it, aod added $3,000,000 to t he guarantee, provided SD much was necessary to pay the outstanding first mortgage bor.dn and tho floating debt of the company and to complete the road. 'Owing to the panic of 1S73, only $508,000 ot these second mortgage bonds gumotred by the State were. e*er- issued, and the balance of the State guarantee w -eturned to the 3tate treasury and cancelled. The State guarantee on the second mortgage bonds was declared constitutional by Judge Mel ton, of the Court of Common Plew of Richland County, before the in dorsement waa made. TheB? mort gages are a first and second lien OD th.i entire road, with air the rights and franchises of theoompany, except . o?-'the Tennessee end pf the 'lin?, where the State of Tennessee Has a prior lien on the 18 miles of omplt ted road, for the$-1,000,000 advai.eed uuo^er the internaL. improvement, act. * The importance of..the. action about to be taken toward the completion ot' the road will bc-.appreciated by those w:ho understand the iystem of rail- ^ roads connecting the great'Northwest with the Southeastern./Atlantic port'*.
