The Worth of Hours.
Believe not that your inner eye
(Jan ever in just measure try
The worth of Hours as they go by.
For every man's weak self, alas !
MaUea him to see them, while they pass,
As through a dim or tinted glass;
But if in earnest care jou would
Mete out to et»eh its part of good,
Trust rather to yoitf after-uiood.
Those surely are not fairly spent,
That lea\ e your spirit bowed and bent
In sad unrest and ill-content;
And more—though free frera seeming harm,
You rest from toil of mind or arm,
Or slow retire from Pleasure's charm, —
If then a painful sense comes od
Of something wholly lost and gone,
Vainly enjoyed, or vainly done, —
Of something from your being's chain
Broke off, nor to be linked aguin
By all mere Memory can retain, —
Upon your heart this truth may ri3e, —
Nothing that altogether dies
Suffices man's just destinies ;
So should we live, that every Hour
May die as does the natural flower, —•
A self-reviving thing of power;
That every Thought and every Deed
May hold within itself the aeed .
Of future good and future meed;
Esteeming Sorrow, whose employ
Is to develop, not destroy,.
Far better than a barren Joy. *
MILNES.
TWICE LOVED.
'Do not return to the Grange, Etsy
Corno with us to Newport,* the beauti
ful Mrs. Langsley will be the rage there,
as she has been in Philadelphia this
winter, even though she.does keep close.'
Etsy'e lips curled with something of
the haughtiness of eatly days.
'I cannot, Aggie, I am tired of gayety..
Oh, this is a haul world to get through/
I am so tired of it—tired of livjjrigl'
'What, JStßy dear I llred L 'of life nt
twenty-fire ?'
'Even so, Aggie; fatherless, mother
less, and a de e erted wile—it is enough.'
'Not deserted, Etsy; you have twice
refused to joitf him.'
'Yes, I
are both too proud. In some of my
moods Ido not blame Lionel. I am HO
changed, so sallow, y%nd bony, and
homely; and then I could never forgive
him that unconscious start,and shrinking
a vay. I had loved only Lionel in my
life, and I forgot for a moment how
changed I was, and meet him.
He recovered himself in a moment, but
it seemed as if it,'changed my whole
nature, and I grew cold and disdainful;
but a great pain was at my heart, even
when I seemed the most indifferent. I
have tho samo pain tonight,'
The crimson lips grow scornful, and
then tremulous.
'Yes; I haye never loved'any one else.
Yon will think me mean-spirited, Aggie?'
'No, Etsy; I honor you for it. But we
will not talk of it. F*apa will go any
where I wish. I have never been to
Niagara. If you would like, we will go
there, where all will bo strangers to us,'
So they wont to Niagara—Mr. Warner,
Agnes and Etsy. Levying the ladies in
the reception room, Mr. (Earner went
to register their names in the hotel book
of entry,but returned In a few moments
with a face from which every vestige of
color had flown.
'Etsy, when I went to write my name,
a gentleman was just returning hi* pen ,
to its case, and the ink was yet wet with
the name of Lionel Peyton.'
'My husband?'
'I fear so; but do liot grow so pale, my
child. I thought, perhaps, yon might
wish to leave this place, and so did not
register our names.'
The beautiful, pale face was pitiful to
see.
'Stay; let me Ihiuk, It might not bo
my husband; and yet I never knew a
Lionel Peyton out of our family. Was
the gentleman's face afythinz like this?
and poor Etsy took a miniature from hor
jewel case.
'Yes; it was very like, only this face is
more youthful. The face I saw was
bearded and bronzed, and care- ivorn
looking.'
'III thought ho would not know me, I
would stay and see him for myself—£
would like to.'
'He would never know yoa, Etsy,
You are as unlike the Etsy of fifteen as
you are unlike the wife of twenty. I
think yon might remain with perfect
safety; and it may not be your husband
after all.'
So Etsy stayed, and on flie book of
entry was written Mr. Ely Warner,
daughter, and Mrs. Willis.
'We will call you Essie, and then if it
is your husband, be will never know
you.' 1 I
GRAHAM, N. G., MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1881.
Mr Warner was right. Lionel Pojs
ton conld never recognize in this' bril*
liantly beautiful woman either tho ro6y
echooli-girl of fifteen or the wile of
twenty. Etsy at twenty was tall and
Btaiely, with a clear, dark skin, brilliant
color, aud ■ large, shadowy, haunting
eyes, in whose depths lay a great pain/
you lelt it as soon as you saw her. It
was her husband/ Etsy knew him the
moment she Si\v hjm. It was in the
dining room she first mot him. Ho
looked at the party entering, as any
gentleman would look at pfrelty women,
bis gaze resting longest on Etsy, ber
gorgeons Eastern beauty overshadowing
the pale loveliness cf Agues Waiuer;
but it was very eyidout ho did not rccog
-1 nize her.
Ho was bronzed and bearded, ai.d
something more than careworn—sad.
Etsy began to question whether he, too>
hadn't suffered. They sat at the "Same
table day after day, this husband and
i wile, till poor Etsy's heart was like to
break. ? > ,>
By and by Mr. Warner made Mr,
Peyton's acquaintance in tho reading
room, and together they traveled over
Europe—where Mr. Warucr olico spent
many years ot his lite —Mr. Peyton's
great descriptive powers painting, as
with a pencil, every subject he touched
upon,
Oue day Elsy.saiJ, half scornful, liall
earnestly:
'What do you thiuk of my husband,
Mr. Warner?'
His answer surprised her:
'I admire him more than any man I
ever knew, Elsy, I Wish I pould under*
stand what it is keeping you apart.''
That night he sent tor the ladies to
join him in tho parlor. To Eisy's sur
prise he introduced them to Mr. Peyton,
who threw the charm of bis couyersa*.
' lion over them, as he bad over Mr. War*
' tier, and the evening passed ere they had
begun.
Time passed ou and other evenings
were spout together, and it soon required
but a careless eye to see that the beauti
ful faco ot Etsy Peyton was tho only face
on oarth to their new friend.
'Essie, your husband is falling in love
once again,' Agnes said, but tho said
•Essie' made no reply.
One night Mr. Peyton said to her:
'Mrs. Willis, your face haunts me; it
rominds me of some oue I havo seen be
fore, perhaps it was in my dreams/
And Etsy only auswered 'Perhaps.'
Shf sat on the veranda one night,
waiting for Agnos and her father. They
were to leave lor York the next
day. and there was a great ache at Etsy's
heart.
Mr. Peyton stepped through the wins
dow, and stood bejjde ber. He merely
bowed his stately "head, and sh^never
spoke—she dared not.
'You are sad to-night, Mrs. Willis.
Aro yon sorry to loaye Niagara?'
For the life of hershe could not have
answered him, but, without waiting for
one, he sat down by her 6ide.
•I, too, am sad to night, but my sad*
ness has a deeper meaning than yours.
At my heart are lugging love, remorse,
regret and a wretched quarrelling with
fate. I wish I dare lay hare my heart to
you, tor my soul is famishing for human
sympathy.'
'Yon may. *" •* ~ - -
•And you will not think less of me be
cause I havo sinued aud suffered?'
'I will not.'
•Five years ago—nay, I must begin
further back. Ten years ago I knew and
loved a youug girl. She was a loving
child, tenderhearted and wiuning. Sbo
consented, and wheu we parted, she
hang round my neck and wept so bitter*
ly thai I found it very hard to leave her.
I went back to Germany and afterward
carried with me all over the Continent
the memory ot that beautiful face,
aud more than it tho memory of
the geutle, loving heart. I returned five
years later, to a find a cold-hearted,
haughty woman, who repeHed my ton*
derness, and threw back \ijjqh my ach
ing heart the love I would have felt for
her it she had been but tonder and pa
tieut. Bui I must be just—l found the
lady so changed iu her persoual appears
ance that I did not know her at first, and
doubtless my manner seemed cold to her
for I was mourning for my beautiful
little Etsy, aud could not believe Ibis
cold pale woman was she. Wo were
married within an hour of my arrival,
and though at first my soul sickened, I
did strive, before God, to give her my
love, but I verily believe she hated me,
for she grAw more and more disdainful
every day, till mad with sorrow and re
gret, I lelt ray home to wauder .discom.
solate and and, all over the earth. Twice
remembering ttott sho my wife, I
wrote, begging her to join mo, for 1
could «ot return to the Grange, where
a'l know my sail history/ but she haugliv
tlly refused, saying in her last letter thai
she fancied our paths would bo happiest
fur apart. You, too, have known sor«
row, Mrs, Wi.lis, but it is better to
tnourn for the dead than the living.
Lionel Pey'on .loved Mrs, Willis, and
it required all bis honor and manhood,
all his self-control, to keep him from tak%
ing her in his arms and tolling her so.
lie did no', but continued:
'Later, I met with one who, before I
was aware of it, crept into my heart—
a beautiful, regal woman, with a passion
ate, tropical nature, entirely suited to
mine. 1 loved that woman, but I dared
not tell her so, my honor forbade it; and
: yet I loved her! Ob, my God I Thou
knowest it all J' ,t«
' As the whitu lips grew calmer he
said:
•To-night, for all my battling, this
wild love is clamoring to be beard/ all
the anguish and regret ate Harder to bear
because unspoken. I thought I -must
speak or.die, but wheu tho storm Was at
its height a great calm came oyer my
spirit, and something like 'God's great
pity'fell upon my tempted soul, aud
once more it was ablo to . overcome. 1
have come to say good byfc, Essie. There
is only one course to pursue. I must re
join my poor wife, and, if she is willing
to recd&ve the prodigal, try my best to
make her happy.'
'Did yo'u love her so much—this beau
tiful woman of whom you &i.oko—bet
ter than any beauty ot Italy or Spain,
or any one you mot in your
iugs.
' His face flushed and then paled.
'Better than any woman oil earth—
better than anything, but my honor and
my God,' and he held with an iron gra&p
the small white hands he had taken in
his, 'Lore her 1 ah, it would be heaven
to be always by her side! to watch the
flash and gleam of thote proud eyecf, and
the sweet trembling o? the red lips, and
the shining dark hair, aud tho proud
throat, white as snow.'
'lt must havß boSn very bard to give
her up.' •
'lt was lftrd. What would you have
done so circumstauced?'
'I would have been truo to my honor
and my God, as yon were.'
'God bless yoiiEssie! now we must
part.'
Essie had been merciless, but her
starving heart craved all she could hear
of the lovo he bore her. But-the strain
had been too great, aud when he rose to
go she faltered, and would have fallen
had he not caught her in his arms, He
seated her again and brought a goblet of
water,
•You know who tho woman is, Essio,
that is so dear to me?'
'1 havo known it from the first.'
'And you still advise me to return to
my wife?*
•I do.'
'And if she will not receive me.' •
•Theu return to Europe and work
for the good ot others and for God's
glory.'
He drew her close to his heart.
'This ouco let mo hold you here; and
now farewell!'
A moment more and she was alone,
and Lionel royton was wildly pacing
his chamber floor, with broken words of
prayer on his lips.
A week from that time found Elsy
at the Grange, where she found a let to r
awaiting her, announcing the arrival
of her husband on the following night.
'Oh, Elsy, if you only loved Lionel."
said his disappointed mother.
'Perhaps I may, mother ; perhaps he
may find ipe more worthy to be loved.'
• Ha came at seven o'clock. 'J'he long
drawing room was lighted in honor of
; his coming, and the servants, at ' least,
j with bright, new suits and shining faces,
showed joy at his return. .
He was shown iuto the reception
room, whlle.a servant went to 'apprise
'Miss.Etsy/)
He-returned in b moment, saying she
woilld see him in the drawing room.
Lionel bit his lip and followed the
old servant with a prou d step. "
'At least she might have bfeen hstf to
welcome me,' he thought.
Undor the brilliant gaslight stood the
beautiful Essie he was trying so hard to
forget.
Again—mtfst he again battle with his
spirit to keep down that mad lo7e which
haunted him every hour? What could
have brought her to the Grange?
She sprttng to meet him.
Lionel I am so glad!' Aud bend*
ing back her beautiful head, she held her
lips for a kiss.
'I cannot, Essie—jl dare not. I am
glad and yet sorry we have mot.'
But she fettered him with her white
arms, and drew his faco close to hers.
'Lionel, if you will take me I am
yonrs— for I—l am Etsy Peytonf

'Twice loved!' Etsy whispered softly
to herself. 'lt was a triumph after all,
and oh, I am so happy!'
The Keelj Motor.
FIRING A GUN AND RUNNING AN ENGINE
WITH A GILL OF WATER.
About twenty gentlemen prominent In
trado, manufacture and finance witness
ed some experiments in Philadelphia on
Monday morning last, savs the Record
ot a recent date, at »he workshops of John
Keel/, the inventor of tho famous Keely
motor. In every respect the experiments
were surprisingly successful. The gen
erator was first shown to he entirely
empty by opening its cocks and cut-off*.
A gill of water drawn froua a cooler was
then the machine, alter which
a couple of inurements of a small le» er
and (he turning ot a cut-oft' developed
about 18,000 pounds of energy, as indi
cated by a heavily-weighted levor. Mr.
Keely claims to have showu a power of
64,000 pounds in the same way on this
machine, and to be able to d) it at any
time,. The elastic nature of tho f etheric
vapor' generated was next demonstrated
by experiments in gunnery. A peculi
arly constructed cannon, ot 1| incu bore,
was connected with (he generator by a
copper lute ol small bore, and at each
expulsion of vapor (induced by the turn
of a cut-oft) a bullet would bo driven
with terriiiu fotce a'nd with a loud re
port into » target. Four inches ot tim
ber were pieicert with the greatost ease,
although Mr. Keely claiinod that only a
low degree ot force was used. He can
discharge the gnu about eight limes in a
minute. There is neither recoil, heat nor
smoke. The vlbratery engine was next
put in motion by means of vapor con
veyed twenty feet or more through tiny
pipes, a large whral was made to revolfe
steadily and with sft much force that
the strength of a man exerted by means
of a tour-feet lever, was unable to slop It.
One gill of water is said to be sufficient
to run the for six hours. In dc>
inonsl rating (ho power of vibration lo
produce motion, Mr. Keely caused a
copper globe, ten inches in diameter
suspended by centre-points in a metal
ring and supported by short legs, to re
volve with great rapidity, although it
was completely insulated by heavy shads
of plate glass, and tho vibrations were
conducted to the glass through a solid
steel rod three feet long. Mr. Keely
says the only tbing that übw stands be
tween blip and tho complete success of
his labors is the perfection of some mi*
nor features.of his engine. Those present
lust night wore unanimous in expressions
of wonder at what they saw, and no one
preteuded to explain the phenomena
presented. There seemed to be no op
portunity for trickery of any kind, and
every facility was afforded for tho most
thorough examination of the machine in
workingorder.
How Postage Stamps are Made.
Postage stamps are printed from on
graved plates on paper especially pre
pared for the purpose. At every mo
tion of the press two hundred stamps
ate printed. Tho colors used in the inks
are known as 'ultramarine blue,' 'Prus
sian blue,' 'vermilion,' and 'carmine.'
Tho sheets are gummed ••paratoly.
'l'liey arc placed, back upwards, upon a
flat table, and (he gum is applied with a
wide brush. It dries quickly and (hen
lho sheets are pressed. Each sheet is cut
in halt and then it is ready for the per
forating michlne. The United Stalos
Government bought the patent of the
machine in 1852, paying .the inventor,
Mr. Archer, $20,000, After they have
been perforated, the sheets are pressed
heavily so as lo make them smooth.
Where She Will 00.
'You must have enjoyed yourself very
much at the shore, this summer,' said
young Modestus as he twirled at the
place where his moustache was supposed
to be.
'Oh, very much indeed; but I don't
think I should care to go there another
year,' was the reply, as she obi cured her
face with her fan. ,
•1 should think ytra like to en
joy yourself agai>i.' • >
•So I would. • But another year I In'
tend to go to—go to—the kissing spring
(hat has been recently discovered in Ar
kansas.' Tile ice being thus broken,
there was no special need of. such a
journoy— not that evening.
There is occasionally a woman who
has such a coutrolable temper that when
a man steps on the (vain of her dress,
she" can smile sweetly and say,'On, 1
drfn't mind it. There is uo harm done.
Pray don't apologize. It is all right.
Very awkward? Ob, no I' Such a
woman is a first-class accomplished hyp
ocrite.
'ls Ihis my train?' asked a traveler at
the Grand Central depot iu New York
of a lounger, 'I don't know,' was the
doubtful reply. 'I see it's got the name
of some railroad company on the sido
and expect it belongs fo them, ilavo
you lost a train anywhere?'
'What,' asks a correspondent, 'causes
iho hair to fail out?' Qcforo wo auswoi*
