The Cider Mill.
BY JOHN a. W1IITTIKB.
tTnder the blue New England skies, -Flooded
with sunshine a valley lies.
The mountains clasp it warm and sweet.
Like a sunny child to their rocky feet. " ,
Three prarly lakes and a hundred atreams
Lie oa its quiet heart of dreams.
Its meadows are the greenest ever seen,
Its harvest fields have. the brightest sheen;
Through its trees the softest sunlight shakes,
And the w hitest llllics gem its lakes.
I love, oh, better than words can tell.
Its every nook and grove and dell;
But most I lovethe gorge where the rill
Comes down by the old brown cider milL
Above the clear springs gurgle out
And the upper meadows wind about.
Then join, and nnrtei willows flow
'Round knolls where blue beach whip-stock
STOW,
To rct in a shaded pool that keeps
The oak tree clasped in its crystal deeps.
Sheer twenty feet the water falls
Down from the old dam's broken walls.
Spatters the knobby boulders gray.

"While Murat was In IailrM,ho was
anxious to coiniiuiuici'.e with Jnnot

arm".
!Mu rat mentioned his embarrassment
to Baron Stro ,onoff, tho llussiau am
bassador to Spain.
Kui:i,it is well known, was at that
time not only the ally, but the friend
of France. M. de Strogonoff told Ma
rat that it was the easiest thin in the
world. "The Russian. Admiral Sini
avin," said he, "is in the port at Lis
bon ; give nie the most intelligent of
your Polish lancers; I will dress him
up in a Russian uniform, aud entrust
him with the dispatches for the admi
ral all will go well, even if he should
be taken prisoner a dozen times be
tween this and Lisbon, for the insur
gent army is so anxious to obtain our
neutrality that it will be careful not
to furnish a pretext for rupture."
Murat was delirhtcd with this in
genious scheme. II'! asked Kmisinki,
the commander of the lancers, to find
him a bravo and intelligent youn
man. Two d i ys afterward the com
mandant brought the Prince a yonn
man of his corps, for whom he pledged
his life; his name was Leckinski, and
he was but 18 years old.
Murat was moved lo sec so young a
mm court so imminent a d inger, for,
if he we ro delected, hi doom was
ecaled. Murat could not help remark
ing to the Pole tho rik he was about
to run. The youth smiled. "Let your

tions," answered he, respectfully, "and

The Prince arirnel favorably from
the voun? man's modest resolution.
Thc'Russiau Ambassador gave him his
dispatches, he put on a Russian uni
form and set out lor l'orlugai.
The first two days uasse I over qui
etly, but on the afternoon of the third.
Leckinski was surrounded by a body
of Spaniards, who disarmed him. and
dragged him before the commanding
officer. Luckily for-the gallant youth
it was Uastauos himself.
Leckinski was aware that he was
lost if he were discovered to be a
Frenchman, consequently, he determ
ined on the instant not "to let a single
word of French escape him, and to
speak Russian and German which he
did with equal fluency. The cries of
rage of his captors announced the faie
which awaited him, aud the horrible
murder of Gen. Rone, who had perish
ed in the most dreadful tortures but a
few weeks before as. he was going to
join Junot, was sufficient to freeze the
very blood.
"Who are you?" said Castanos, in
French, which language he spoke per
fectly well, having been educated iu
France.
Leckinski looked at the questioner,
made a sign, aixl answered iu German :
"I do not lllder6ialld.,
Castanos spoke German, but ho did
not wish to appear personally in the
mailer mid summoned one of the ofil
cers of his 6lafl", who went on with
the examination. The young Pole
answered in Russian or German, but
never let a single syllable of French
escape him. Ilo might, however, ea
sily hare forgotten himself, surround
ed as he was by a crowd eager for his
blood, and who waited with savage
impatience to have lum declared guil
ty, that he was a Frenchman, to fall
upon him and to inur.lcr him.
But their fury was raised to u height
which the General himself could not
coutrol, by an accident which seemed
to tut off 'the tmhrfpyy isrtir ffom
every hope of escape. One of Casta
nos' nid-de-cainps, ouc of the fanatical
patriots, who were so iimuurousin this
war, who from the first had denounced
Leckinski as a French spy, burst into
the room dragging with him a man
wearing tho brown jacket, tall hat, and
red plume of a Spanish peasant.
. The ofH-.'cr confronted him with' the
Pole, end said :
.Look at this man and then say if it
is true that he is a German or Russian.
He is a spy, I swear by my soul."
The peasant, meanwhile was eyeing
the prisoner closely. Presently his
dark eyes lighted up with the tiro of
hatred.
"Es Frances," (he. is a Frenchman,),
exclaimed he, clapping, his hands.
And he stated that, having been in Ma
drid, a few weeks before, he had beets
put iua requisition to carry torage to
the French barrack ; .and, said he, "I
was near him an hour, and recollect
him. When we caught bin., I told my
comrade, this is the French officer I
delivcred my forage to. . , '.
This was correct Castanos proba
bly discerned the true state of the
case, but ho was a generous foe. "He
proposed to let him pursue his jour
ney, for Leckinski still insisted lie
was a Russian, and he could not be
made to understand a word of French.
ut the moment he ventured a hint of
thatTrrMiJ. a thousand threatening

"Rut cniil lio "urt 11 'vnn t7rtiJ"lSK
a quarrel with Russia, whose neutral
Ity we are so anxiously asking for."
"No," said the officer, "but let us try
this man."
Leckinski understood all, for he was
acquainted with Spanish. He was re
moved and thrown into a room wor
thy to have been ono of the dungeons
of the inquisitions in its worst days.
"When the Spaniards took him pris
oner he had eaten nothing 6ince the
previous evening, and when his dun
geon door was closed upon him he had
fasted for eighteen hours, no wonder,
then, what with exhaustion, fatigue,
anxiety, and the agony of his dread
ful situation, that the unhappy pris
oner fell almost senseless on his hard
couch. Night soon closed in and left
him to realize in his gloom, the full
horror of his hopeless situation. He
was brave, of course ; but to die at 18
so suddenly! But youth and fatigue
finally yielded to thcannroach of sleem
and he was soon buried in profound
slumber.
He slept perhaps two hours, when ,
the door of nis dungeon opened slow
ly, and some one entered with cap
tious steps, hiding with his hands the
light of a lamp ; the visitor bent over
the prisoner's couch, the .hand that
shaded the lamp touched him on the
shoulder, and ' a sweet and silvery
voice a woman's voice asked him :
"Do you want to eat?"
The young Pole, awakened suddeuly
by the glare cf the lamp, by the touch
and the words of the. female, rose up
on his couch, and,' with ins eyes only
half-open, said, in German, "Vhat do
you want?"
"uive me man sometmng to eat at
once," said Castanos, when he heard
the result of the first experiment,
"and let him go. He is not a French
man. How could he have been so far
master of himself? Tho thing is im
possible." But though Leckinski was supplied
with food he was detained a prisoner.
The next morning he was taken to a
spot where he could see the mutilated
corpse of the Frenchman, who had
been cruelly massacred by the peasant
ry of Truxillo, and he was threatened
with the same death. But the noble
youth had promised not to fail, and
not a word, not an accent, not a ges
ture or look betrayed him.
Leckinski, when taken back to the
prison, hailed it with a sort of joy.
For twelve hours he had nothing but
gibbets and death, in its most horrid
lorms, before his eyes, exhibited to
him by men with the looks and the
passions of demons. He slept, howev
er, after the harrassing excitement of
the day, aud soundly, too ; when, in
the midst of his deep and death-like
slumbers, the door opened gently, and
some one drew near his couch, and the
same voice whispered in his ear :
."Arise aud come-with me. YVe
wish to save your life. Your horse is
ready."
And the brave young man hastily
wakened by the words, "we wish to
save your life, come, answered still
in German, 44 What do yon want?"
Castanos, when he heard this exper
iment and its result, said that the
Russian was a noble young man ; he-
saw the true state of the case.
The next morning early four men
came to take him before a sort of
court-martial, composed of Castanos'
staff. - During the walk they uttered
most horrible threats against him, but
true to his determination, he pre tend
ed not to understand them.
When he came before his judges, ho
6eemed to gather what was going ou
from the arrangement of the tribunal,
and not from what he heard said
around him, and he asked in Geiroan
where his interpreter was. He was
sent for, and the examination com
menced. It turned first upon the motive of
J,is journey from Madrid to Lisbon.
He answered by showing his dispatch-,
es of Admiral S'niavan and his pass
port. Spile of the presence and vehe
ment assert iou of the peasant, he in
sisted in the same siory. and he did
not contradict himself once.
"Ask him," said the presiding offi
cer, at last, "if he loves the Spaniards,
asjie is not a Frenchman."
, The interpreter nut the question.
"Cer ainly," said Leckinski, "I like
the Spaniard nition; I esteem it Jor
its noble character; I wish our two
nations were friends."
"Colonel." said the interpreter to
he President, "the prisoner savs he
tales us because we make war like
hnnditti, that bo despises us. and that
us only regret is that he cannot unite
.e whole nation as one mm to cud
this odious war at a single blow."
While he was saying this the eves
or the whole tribunal were attentive
ly watching the slightest movement
ot the prisoner's countenance, in order
see what effect the interpreter's
t reachery would have upon him. But
leckinski had expected to be put to
the test in some way, and be was de
termmed to baffle all their attempts,

' To the Editor of the Rural Nebraska :
Certain gentlemen were discussing
their many domestic grievances, the
other day, when one of the number
suggested that of all impositions which
uuleeling women had put upon weak
husbandw, the house plant imposition
is Uio most senseless and oppressive.
"Right!" said every one of his com
panions, and at some one's suggestion,
the following . preambles and resolu
tion were ununimwusly adopted, and
ordered spread upon the records of the
II. P. H. s Society, viz:
"WHEREAS, This house plant busi
ness has grown from a bunch of gilly
flowers aud coxscomb, in an old cigar

which covers the mountain side;
"Whereas, The law of relative di

"Whereas, A man is not a mule,

Although ratbei lale, we give the
following letter from Prof. Wilber, as
it gives some items of interest 'to the
farmers and others. He evidently does
nol apprehend the fulfillment of Mo
ther Shipton's prophecy. . t
To the Editor of the Nebraska State Journal :
. It is evident that the Clerk of the
Weather has lout his reckoning, and it
is further evident, from tho chaotic
state of the elements, that he is mak
ing a desperate struggle to recover a
ruined reputation. But, no natter
how reliable he may be henceforward,
the effort will be unavailing, unless he
sooa delivers, in good order, our cus
tomary supply of Spring fains." The
weather reports of Dr. Childs. of
Plattsmouth, give for the Spring of
1879, lOJtf inches, for the Spring of
1878, zy inches, ahd for the Spring of
1877, 14 inches of water. But en x
amining these reports, we find no rec
ord of such scarcity of rain duriug the
last nine years. . . - .
THIS UNUSUAL DRTXESS
is to many tho harbinger of a dry sea
son, and to most, especially farmers, a
cause of alarm. The small grains.
which should now be well on their
way, have, except winter wheat, scarce
ly time to dovelop into profitable bar-
vests, unless soon favored with vernal
rains. The simple fact, however, that
winter wheat has generally a good ap
pearance, is the beat evidence that the
soil is not greatly deficient in moist
ure; and this, with the fact that win
