THE MILLER’S MAID.
There is a lonely mill, clone beside the
little hamlet of Utlorf, near the Rhine
shore, between the villages of Hersel
and Ursel, on the left bank below Bonn.
This mill is said to have been tho scene
of the following story :
It was on & Sunday morning, “ages
long ago,” that the miller of this mill,
and his whole family, went forth to hear
the holy mass at the nearest church in
the village of Hersel. The mill, which
which lay in a corner of the room, ’this
will wrench it open at once; and while
you are tying it up. I shall just step up
stairs to my own apartment and get a
few things ready for our flight, as well
as my own little savings for the last five
years.’
Tho ruffian was thrown ofif his guard
by her openness and apparent anxiety
to accompany him. Like all egotists,
he deceived himself, when self-deceit
was most certain to he his destruction.*
‘Go, lass.’ was all he raid, * but lie not
long. This job will be doue in a twink
ling.’
She disappeared at the words. He
immediately broke open the chest, and
was 8oeu engaged in rummaging its con
tents.
As he >va3 thus employed, however,
absorbed in the contemplation of his _ .
prey, and eagerly occupied in securing' ing. He then stole back to the aperture,
it on his person, the brave hearted girl by which he hoped to effect an entrance,
stole down the stairs on tip toe. Creep-! All this was unseen by the dauntless
within these walls while I have life to
prevent ye.’
The ruffian laid the infant for a mo
ment on the sward as he sought abou
for combustibles wherewith to execute
his latter threat. In this search he es
pied, perhaps, the only possible dan
destine entrance to the building. It was
a large aperture in the wall, communi
cating with the great wheel and the nth
er machinery of tho mill,, and way a
point entirely unprotected for tho rea

SAMUEL C. DUNN,
Wholesale Olothing and Famishing
An infant child, of an age unfit for
church, was left in her charge like
wise.
The girl was busily employed in pre
paring dinner for tho return of her
master and his family when who should
enter all of a sudden hut an old sweet
heart of hers, named Henrich Bottclor.
He was an idle, graceless fellow whom
tho miller had forbiJdoukis house, but*
whom Jenny, with tho amiable prever-
sity peculiar to her sex, only liked, per
haps, all the betler because others gave
him no countenance. She was glad to
see him, and she told him so too; and al
though iu the midst of her work, she
not only got him something to eat at
onco, hut also found time to sit down
with him and have a gossip, while he dis
patched the food .she set befnte him.—
As he ate, however, he let fall ; his knife.
4 Pick that up my lass, 4 said he, in a
joking way, to the good-natured girl.
4 Nay, Henrich,' she replied; ‘your
back should lie more supple than mine,
for you have less work to make it si iff.—
I labor all day long and y<>u do nothing.
But, never mind ! 'twould go hard with
me, had 1 refused to do more than that
for yi:u, bad though you b».’
This was spoken half sportively, and
half in good earnest; for kind-hearted as
the girl was, and irucli as she liked the
scape-grace, she was too honest and in
dust rious hei self to encourage or approve
of idleness and a suspicious course oflife
in any one else, however dear to her.—
As she was in the act of rising, however,
the treacherous villian drew a dagger
from under his coat, and caught her by
hut the work «f a moment for her to
set the machin<*ry iu motion. A brisk
breeze which sprung up, ns it were hy
the special interposition of Providence,
at once set the sails flying. The arms

revolved on Us axis; the smaller gear
turned, and creaked, and groaned, ac
cording as they came iu action; the mill

It was in that very instant, the ruf
fian, Diether, had succeed a d in squeez
ing himself through the aperture in the
wall, and getting safely lodged in the
interior of the.great drum-wheel. His
dismay, however, was indescribable,

A LOST CHILD.
The St. Johns (N. B.) Freeman of tho
14th tilt., says:
On the 25th of last month, Mr. Bar
ton, of Grand Lake, sent his three chil
dren to search for his cows. The chil
dren loitered to gather some hazel nuts,
and when they were about to return, the
youngest, a boy scarcely five years of
age, remained behind. Sometime after,
the fears of the parents were excit ed at
his protracted absence, and a search was
made for the child, hut in vain. The as
sistance of the neighbors wassummoned,
and the searen continued dav after day
in all directiuna; but wlthout''succe38.—
The weather was very severe a'tid stor
my, and all hopes of the child’s recovery
were abandoned. Strange to relate,
however, ho was accidentally found on
the ninth day, at a distance of six miles,
by a party who were notin search of
him, and at a time that a party who had
again taken up the search had got on his
track. A dog had found <he scent and
led the first party to the spot.
The little fellow, when found, appear
ed quite unconcerned, and gave a very
sensible account of his adventures. He
was afraid of Irring chastened for loiter
ing in the woods,and did not return with
the other children, and when he tried
to get hack he could not finding way.—
He cried the first day,but not after
wards. Tho first night ho slept in *
tree ; but he said he was afraid he- would
full when asleep and the other nights he
slept on the ground. He ate only the
berries that grew low, as he knew these,
he said, and was afraid to touch those on
high bushes. He thwught he should
never get h->mo.
It is said the little fellow displays ex
traordiuary sense, as if his reasoning fac
ulties were suddenly developed by the
extraordinary circumstances in which he
was placed ; end the people of the neigh
horhood are flocking tn see the child
and hear him talk, regarding his preser
vation as miraculous.

She sat down on ihe stouo bench by
the mill door lo ease her over-excited
spirit, and she wept, as she sat, at the
thoughts of her happy deliverance.
4 Thank God!’ she ejaculated, 4 thank
God for this escape. Oh ! the deadly
villain! and I so fond of him too.’
A shrill whistle from the grated wiu-
dow oi the chamber in which she had
put up the ruffian Iiuuricb, caught her
ear, and made her start at once to her
feet.
4 Diether! Diether!’ she heard him
shout, 44 catch ihc child and c«ine hither,
I am fast. Come hither. Bring the boy
here, and kill the girl!’
She glanced hastily up at tho case
ment from which the imprisoned villain’s
baud beckoned to some one in the dis
tance, and then looked anxiously alter
her infant emissary. The little messen
ger held on his way unharmed, howev
er ; and she thought to hersult that the
alarm waa a false one, raised to excite
her fear, and overcome her resolution
Just,however, as the child reached a hol
low spot in the next field—the channel
of a natural drain,—then dry with the
heats of summer—she saw another ruf
fiau start up from the bed of the drain,
a»’cj catching him in his arms, hasten to
wards the mill, in accordance with tho
directions of his accomplice.
Iu a mnmeut she perceivod her dan
gcr, and in am merit more she formed
her future plan of proceeding. Retreat
ing into tho mill, she double-locked and
bolted the door—-the only apparent en
trance to tho edifice, every other means
of obvious access to the interior being
the nape of the neck, gripping her throat: barred by means of strong iron gratings
firmly with his fingers lo pteveut her fixed against all the windows; and then
screaming the while.
4 Now lass,’ swearing out a had oath at
the same time, 'where is master's mon
ey 1 I’ll have that oi your life; so take
your choice.'
Tho terrified gill would fain have par
leyed with the ruffian, but ho would hear
nothing she could say. :
4 Master’s money or your life lass!’
was all the answer’he vouchsafed to her
entreaties and adjurations. 'Choose at
once,’ was the only alternative he offered
her; 4 ihegrave or the gold!’
She saw that thero wa> no hopo for
mercy at his hands; and, as she saw it,
her uativeres duliou awoke in her bos
om. Like the generality of her geirle
took.her post at tho upper casement, de
termined to await patiently either her
master's return, and her consequent de
livery from that dangerous position or
her own death if it were inevitable.
* Never,’ said she to herself, 4 never
shall 1 leave my master’s hnupe a prey
to such villains, or permit his property
to be cat tied off before my eyes by
them, while 1 have life and strength to
defend it.’ _ - . £
She had hardly time to secure herself
within when tho ruffian from without,
holding the hapless child in one hand,
and a long shat p knife iu the other, as-
sailetl the door with kicks and curses,
and imprecations of the most dreadful
sex,she was timid at trifles; a scratch 1 character,
tvas an object of fear to her—a drop of j ‘Confound thee!’ha cried, applying

sound filled her 6oul with fear in the'
night. But whet) her energies were

courage, in endurance, in presence of

signedly, *what is to be must be. But if

The ruffian relaxed his gripe, and fi-
ly let go his hold. Her reasons were
igent with his cupidity,
otne,’ she said, ‘quick! quick! no
delay! . The money is in master’s bed
room.'
She tripped up stairs gaily as a lark;
he followed closely.at her bifls. She
led the way into her mastei’s bed-room
and poiuted out the coffee m which his
money was secured.
’Here,’ she said, reaching him an axe
speaking Teutonic languages are so co
pious; 'open the door, or I’ll break it in
on ye 1’ . v
4 If you can, you may.* was all that
the noble girl replied. .‘God is greater
than you, and in Him I’ll put my trust.’
|Cut the brat’s throat 1’ ruard the im
prisoned ruffian above; ‘that will bring
her to reason.’ .
Stout hearted as poor Hannchen waa,
she quailed at this cruel suggestion.
For a moment her resolution waved
but it- was only for a moment. She saw
that her own death was certain if she
admitted the assailant, and she knew
her master would be robbed. She had
no reason to hope that even the life of
the infant would be spared by h? r cam
pliance. It was to risk all against no
thing. Like a discreet girl, she conse
quently held fast tn her resolve to abide
as she was while life remained, or un
til assistance should reach her.
‘An’ yo Often not the door,’ shouted
the villain without, accompanying his
words wiih the vilest abuse and the
all. his effitits to
put a stop to the powerfurmachinc-y
which set it in motion, or to extricate
himself from his perilous situation, were
fruitless. His ones were most appalling;
his shrieks were truly fearful; his cur
ses and imprecations were horrible to
hear. Hannchen hastened to the spot,
and saw him caught, like a reptile as he
was, in his own trap. It need not be
added that she did not lilierate him.—
She knew that he would be m»re fright
ened than hurt, if he kept within his
rotary prison ; aud she knew, also, that
unless he attempted to escape, there
was no danger of his falling out of it,
even though he were insensible and in
animate all the while. In the meantime,
tho wheel went round and round with
its steady unceasing motion; and round
aud round went the ruffian, along with
it, steadily and unceasingly too.
In vain did ho promise the stout
hearted girl to work -Do-barm j in vaiu
did ho implore her pity on his helpless
condition; in vain did be pray to all tho
powers of heaven, antT adjure all the
powers of he!', to aid him. She would
not hear nor heed him; and unheard and
unheeded of them likewis*. he was
whirled round and round in the utitiring
wheel, until at last feeling and percep
tion failed, him. and he saw and heard
no more. He fell senseless on the bot
tom of tho engine, but even then his in
animate laxly continued to lie whirled
round and round, as before; the brave
girl not daring to trust to appearance*
in connection with such a villain, and
being, therefore, afraid to suspend tho
working of the machinery, or stop the
mill-gear aud tackle from rutining at
their fullest speed.
Loud knocking at the door, was short
ly after heard, and she hastened thither.
It was her master and his family, ac
companied by several of their neighbor*
The unaccustomed appearance of the
mill sails in full swing on the Sunday,
as sho had anticipated, attracted their
atfe; lion, and they hastened homo from
church for the put pose of ascertaining
the cause of the phenomenon. The fa
ther Imre his little buy iu his arms; b<*
had cut the cords wherewith the child
was tied,, but he was unable tn obtain
any account of the extraordinary cir
cumstances that had occurred from the
affrighted innocent.
Hannchen, in a few words, told all;
and then the spirit which had sustained
her so-long. and sq well while the emer
gency listed, forsook hCr at once aa it
passed away. Sho fell senseless into
the arms of the miller’s eldest son, and
was with great difficulty recovered.
The machinery of the mill was at
once stopped, and the inanimate ruffian

Northern beneficiaries, Mince the division

The Southerners did nut receive any

ten ling that in consequence of their vol
untary secession they were not entitled
to participate in profits.
The Southerners have taken excep
tions to the report, and the matter isagaiu
before theCircui* Court, and will not be
disposed of lor several days. The South

their share in money, and that they
am entitled to $70,000 more than is
allowed them, while the Northern

Southern church is $56,486 39, deduct

UNCLE TOM’S CABIN.
Judge Bragg, member of Congress
from Alubama, speaks as follows:
”1 refer here more particularly to a
work of fiction called ' Uncle Tom’
Cabin,” writteu hy a Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe, and which the newspa
pers toll us one hundred thousand e pics
hate been sold and circulated in the free
Slates! I have looked into the book
and find it to he a most gross and exag
gerated caricature of the manners and
institutions of the South. It is difficult
to conceive how a woman of the leas
refinement or purity of mind so coin
pletely unfrock herself as to indulge in
the obsceno reflections with which this
book is everywhere replete. Every
southern plantation is represented as a
harem, and every female shive as a vic
tim ot her master’s lusts. What south
ern woman can Ire found who would con
sent to write such a book as this about
northern people, though there are cer
tainly abundant material for the task-
Say what you will about the social sys
tem ol the South, it never was the parent
of such monstrosities, such Glen-women;
such moral bcimaphordites as this.—
Whither does all this tend I Lord Byron
says ;
“ Thera .is a lids in Abo aflHirs of women,
Which, taken at the tlo.nl, leads—God knows
where!”
- If its efficacy in t hat form he establish
ed, it forms a presumption that as a bev
erage for the use of nurses and other* in
attendance on the -ick. it is far prefera
ble to tea or liquors of any kind, either
as a refreshment or a preservative
against sickness.
SPEARING OUT.
Those who have spoken in public can,
scarcely judge of the consternation of
an old Indy who spoke out in church.—
It was lot m«*ily the custom in country
towns, for those who lived several miles
from church, to remain during the in
terval lietvveen the morning and eve
ning service. On this occasion she
had taken some milk in a pitcher for the
ahildien; and in the most interesting
part of the service a dog who had fol
lowed them into the pew thrust his head
into the pitcher. Whether his head
was too large,; or the pitcher too unall,
is not our province to determine; hut
having regaled himself; the pitcher still
obstinately retained its position, and he

THE ART OF THINRING.
One of the best mode* of improving
the art of thinking iA to think over some
subject before you read upon' it. and
then observe after what manner it has
ocourred fas the mind of some great mas
ter; you will then obsonre what you
have omitted and what you nave ex
ceeded ; and by this process you will m-
tensibly caichthe tnahner in which «
great miud views a great question. It
is right to study. <>"t fa» tbink, when an
extraordinary incident provokes you
think, but from time to. time to review
what has passed, to dwell upon it, and
to see what trains of thought voluntari
ly present themselves to your mind. It
is a most superior habit in some minds
lo refei all tho particular truths wmWF
strike them to other truths more gener
al, so that the particular troth at once
leads to the general truth. jsMhis hind of

KIND WORDS—USE THEM.
Because they fall^pleasantly on tho
ears of all to whom they are addressed,
and it is therefore one of the ways of
promoting human happiness.
Because they give ati. impression in

for your-greater influence over others
for good. .. .
- Because kind word* powerfully con

Because they show the difference be

Because they are nuked to stir up the
