THE MILLERS TIAID.
There is a Iouely mill close beside
the little hamlet of Udorf, near the
blue Rhine shore, between the villa
ges of Hersel and TJrsel, on the left
bank below Bonn. The mill is said
to have been the scene of the follow
ing story :
It was on a Sunday morning, 'ages
long ago,' that the miller of thia mill
and his whole family went forth to
hear the holy mass at the nearest
church in the village of Ilerael. The
mill, which was also his residence,
was left in charge of a servant girl
named Hanncbeu, or Jenny, a stont
hearted lass,who bad longlived with
him in that capacity. An infant
child, of an age unfit for church, was
left in her charge, likewise.
The girl was busily employed in
preparing dinner for the return of
her master and his family, when who
should enter all of a sudden but an
old sweetheart of hers, named Hein
rich Bottelor. He was an idle, grace
less fellow, whom the miller had
forbidden the bouse, but whom Jen
nie liked with amiable perversity,
peculiar to her sex only, perhaps, all
the better because others gave him
no countenance. She was glad to
gee him, and she told bim so, too;
and although in the midst of her
work, she not only got him some
thing to oat at once, bat found time
to sit down with him and have a
gossip while he dispatched the food
she sat before him. As he ate, how
ever, he let fall bis knife.
'Pick that up, my lass,' said he,
in a joking way, to the good natnr
ed girl.
'Nay, Heinrich,' she replied, 'your
back Bbonld be more supple than
mine, for yon have less work to make
it stiff. T labor all daylong and yon
do nothing. But never mind !
Twonld go hard with me an' I re
fused to do more than that for yon,
bad thongh yon be.'
This was sroken half sportively
and half in good earnest; for kind
hearted as the girl was, and much as
she liked the scapegrace, 9he was too
houcst and industrious herself to
encourage or approve idleness and a
suspicions coarse of life in any one
else, however dear to her. She
stooped down, accordingly, to pick
np the knife. As she was in the act
of raising, however, the treacherons
villain drew a dagger from under
his coat and canght her by the nape
of the neck, gripping her throat
firmly with his fingor3 to prevent
her screaming the while.
'Now, lass,' he said, swearing out
a bad oath at the same time, 'where
is master's money ? I'll have that or
your life; so take your choice.'
The terrified girl would fain have
parleypd with the ruffian, but he
would hear nothing she could say.
'Master's money or your life, la&cP
was all the answer be vouchsafed to
her entreaties and adjurations.
'Choose at once !' was the only alter
native he offered her; 'the grave or
the gold!'
She saw that there was no hope of
mercy at his hands, and as she saw
it, her native resolution awoke in
her bosom. Like the generality of
the gentle sex, ehe was timid at
trifles ; a scratch was a subject of
fear to her; a drop of blood caused
her to faint ; an unwonted sound
filled her soul with fear in the night.
But when ber energies were aroused
by an adequate cause, ahe proved, as
her sex have ever done, that in cour
age, in endurance, in pre-ence of
mind, and in resources for every
emergency, she far surpassed the
bravest and coolest men.
'Well, well, Heinrich!' Bhe said
resignedly, 'what is to be, must be.
But if you take the money I shall
even go along with ye. This will be
no home for me any more. But
ease your grip of my neck a little
don't squeeze so hard ; I can't move,
you bug me so tight. And if I can't
stir, you can't get the money ; that'
clear, you know. Besides, time
presses, aud if it be done at all. it
must be done quickly, as the house
hold will shortly be back from
Hersel.'
The ruffian relaxed his gripe, and
finally let go his hold. Her reasons
were all cogent with his cupidity.
'Come, 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
heels. She led the way into her
master's "bed-room, and pointed out
the coffer in which his money was
secured.
'Here,' she said, reaching him an
axe which lay in the corner of the
room, 'this will wrench it open at
once ; and while yon are tying it up,
I shall just step to my apartment and
get a lew things ready for our flight,
as well as my own little saving for
the last five years
The rnfflan was thrown off his
guard by her openness and her anx
iety to accompany him. Like all
egotists, he deceiyed himself, when
Ifitpl

self-deceit was moat certain to be
bis destruction.
'Go, lass! was all he said, bat be
not long. This job will be dose in
a twinkling
Aa he was thus employed, how
ever, absorbed in the contemplation
of bis prey, and eagerly occupied in
securing It on his person, the brave
hearted girl stole down stairs on
tip-toe. Creeping softly along the
passage she speedily gained the door
of the chamber unseen by him, and
likewise nnheard. It was but the
work of a moment for her to turn
the key in the wards and lock him
in. This done, she rushed forth to
the outer door of the mill and gave
the alarm. 'Fly ! fly !' she shrieked
to the child, her master's little boy,
an infant five years old, the only
being within sight or sound of her.
'Fly ! fly to father I fly for your life I
Tell him we shall all be mnrdered
an' he not haste back I Fly ! fly !
The child, who was at play before
the door, at once obeyed the ener
getic command of the brave-hearted
girl, and sped as fast as bis tiny legs
could carry bim on the road by
which he knew his parents would
return from church. Hannchen
cheered him onward, and inspirited
his little heart as he ran.
Bless thee, boy! bless thee!' she
exclaimed, iu the gladness of her
heart; 'an' master arrives in time I
will offer up a taper on the altar of
our blessed lady of the Kreutzberg
by Bonn
She sat down on the stone bench
by the mill door to ease her over
excited spirit; and she wept as she
sat at the thoughts of her happy
deliverance.
Thank God!' she exclaimed;
'thank God for this escape I Ob, the
deadly villain ! And I so fond of
him. too!'
A shrill whistle from the grated
window of the chamber in which she
had shut up the ruffian Heinrich,
caught her ear, and made her start
at once to her feet.
Deither, Deitherl' she heard him
shout, 'catch the child and come
hither! Bring the boy here. and kill
the girl!'
She glanced hastily np at the case
ment from which the imprisoned
villain's hand beckoned to some one
in the distance, and then looked anx
iously after her infant emissary. The
little mesenger held on his way
unharmed, however, and she tho't to
herself that the alarm was a false
one, raised to excite her fear and
overcome her resolution. Just, how
ever, as the child reached a hollow
spot iu the next field, the channel of
a natural drain, then dry with the
heat of summer, she saw another
ruffian start up from the bed of the
drain, and catching bim in his arms,
hasten toward .the mill, in accord
ance with the directions of his accom
plice. In a moment she preceived
her danger, and in a moment more
she formed ber future plan of pro
ceeding. Retreating into the mill
she double-locked and bolted the
door, the only apparent entrance to
the edifice, every other obvions
access to the interior being barred
by means of strong gratings fixed
against all the windows, and then
took her post at an uppA" casement,
determined to await patiently either
ber master's return and her conse
quent delivery from that dangerous
position, or her own death if it were
inevitable.
'Never said she to herself, 'never
shall I live my master's houe a
prey to such villains, or permit his
property to be carried off before my
eyes by them, while Thave life and
strength to defend it
She had barely time to secure her
self within when the ruffian without,
holding the hapless child in one
hand and a long, sharp knife in the
other, assailed the door with kicks
and curses and imprecations of a
most desperate character.
'Confound thee he cried, applying
the foulest epithets of which the
free-speaking Teutonic language are
so copious; 'open the door or I'll
break it in on ye
'If ynn can you may was all the
noble girl replied. 'God is greater
than you, and in him I put my trust
'Cut the brat's throat !' roared the
imprisoned ruffian above; 'that will
bring bpr to reason
Stout-hearted as poor nannchen
was, she quailed at thja cruel sug
gestion. For a moment her resolu
tion wavered ; but it was only for a
moment. She saw that her own
death was certain if sheadmitted the
assailant, and she knew that her
master would be robbed. She had
no reason to hope that even the life
of the infant would be spared by her
compliance. It was to risk all
against nothing. Like a discreet
girl, Bhe consequently held fast in
her resolve to abide as she was while
life remained, or nntil assistance
shonld reach her.

abuse and the fiercest imprecations,
'I'll hack thia whelp's limb to pieces
with my knife, and then burn tbe
mill over your head. Twill be a
merry blnze, I trow
'I put my trust in God replied the
dauntless girl; never shall ye set
foot within these walls whilst I have
life to prevent ye
The ruffian laid the infant for a
momeBt on the sward, as he Bought
aboat for combustible wherewith
to execate his latter threat. In tbi
search be espied, perhaps, the only
possible clandestine entrance to the
building. It was a large aperture in
the wall communicating with the
great wheel and tbe other machinerj
of tbe mill, and was a point entire!)
unprotected, for the reason that tbe
simple occupants bad never suppos
ed it feasible for any oue to seek
admission through such a dangerous
inlet. Elated with this discovery,
the ruffian returned to the infant,
and tying the bands and feet of the
little innocent, threw it en the
ground even as the butcher will
fling a Iamb destined for the slaugh
ter to await his time for slaying. Hr
then stole back to tbe aperture, bj
which he hoped to effect an entrance.
All this was unseen by the dauntless
girl within.
In tbe meanwhile her mind wa
busied with a thousand cogitations.
She clearly perceived that no mean?
wonld be left untried to effect an
entrance, and she knew that on the
exclusion of her foe depended her
own existence. A thought struck
her:
'It is Sunday,' said she to herself;
'the mill never works on the Sab
bath ; suppose I set it a-going now
It can De seen far off, and haply m
master, or some of his neighbors
wondering at the eight, may haste
hither to know the cause. A lucky
thought,' she exclaimed; "tis God
that has sent it to me
No sooner said than done. Being
all her life accustomed to mill-gear,
it was but the work of a moment for
her to set the machinery in motion.
A brnk breeze which sprang up, as
it were, by the special interposition
of Providence, at once et the Bails
flying. The arms of the hnge engine
whirled around with fearful rapid
ity ; the great wheel slowly revolved
on its axle; the smaller gear turned
and creaked and groaned, according
as they came into action, aud tbe
mill was in full operation.
It was that very instant that the
ruffian, Diether had succeeded in
squeezing hira-olf through the aper
ture in the wall and getting afely
lodged in the interior of the great
drum-wheel. His dismay, however,
was indescribable wben he began to
be whirled about with its rotation
and found that all bis efforts to put
a stop to the powerful machinery
which set it in motion, or to extri
cate himself from bis perilous situa
tion, were fruitless. His cries were
most appalling; bis shrieks were
truly fearful ; his curses and impre
cations were horrible to hear. Hann
chen hastened to the spot and saw
him caught, like a reptile as be was,
in his own trap. It need not be
added that she did not liberate bim.
She knew that he would be more
frightened thau hurt, if be kept
within his rotary prison ; and she
knew, also, that unless be attempted
to escape, there wa no danger of bis
falling out of it, even though he
were insensible and inanimate all
tbe while. In the meantime the
wheel went round and round, with
tbe ruffian along with it, steadily
and unceasingly, too. In vain did
he promise tbe stout-hearted girl to
work ber no barm ; in vain did he
implore ber pity on his helpless con
dition ; in vain did he pray to all tbe
powers of heaven and adjure all the
powers of hell to his aid. She would
not hear nor heed him ; and unheard
and unheeded of them, likewise mut
tering curses he was whirled round
in the untiring wheel, until at last
feeling and preception failed him,
and he saw and heard no more, ne
fell senseless to the bottom of the
engine, and even then bis Inanimate
body continued to be whirled round
and ronnd as before; the brave girl
not daring to trust to appearance in
connection with such a villain, and
being, therefore, afraid to suspend
the working of the machinery, or
stop the mill-gear and tackle from
running at their fullest speed.
A loud knocking at the door way
shortly after heard, and she hastened
thither. It was her master and his
family, accompanied by several of
their neighbor?. The unaccustomed
appearance of the mill-saiie in full
swing on the Sunday had, &s she had
anticipated, attracted their attention,
and they had hastened home from
chnrcb for the purpose of ascertain
ing the cause of tbe phenomenon.
The father bore bi little boy in hi
arms; he had cut the cord where
with the child was tied, but he was
unable to obtain any account of tbe
extraordinary circumstances that

had occurred from the affrightened
innocent,
Hannchen, in a few words, told
all; and then the spirit which had
sustained her so long and so well
while the emergency lasted, forsook
her at once as it parsed away. She
fell senseless into the arms of the
miller's oldest son, and was with,
great difficulty recovered.
The machinery of the mill was at
once 8 topped and the inanimate
ruffian dragged forth from the great
wheel. The other ruffian waa Dro't
down from his prison. Both were
then bound and sent off to Bonn,
under a strong escort, and in due
course came under the hands of the
town executioner.
It was not long till Hannchen be
came a bride. The bridegroom was
tbe miller's son, who had loved her
long and well, but with a passion
previously unrequited. They lived
thenceforward happily together for
many years, and died at a good old
age, surrounded by a flourishing
family. To tbe latest hour of her
life this brave hearted woman would
shudder as she told the tale of her
danger and her deliverance.
IIotst Tastes DIflVr.
The tastes of neighboring nations.
Tbe Germans and the English esteem
the goose almost as highly as the
turkey. But in France the former
is looked upon as a vulgar bird,
unfit to set before epicures. An
English journal, writing of tbe
change of taste with respect to eat
ing birds, says :
To-day we never see a poulter
er's shop adorned with rows of pea
cocks, and should one of these beau
tiful birds appear upon the table at
ome grand public or private dinner,
none of the guests would go into
ecstacies over the dish, a if its deli
cacy wa3 a fact universally known.
But at Borne, no banquet was com
plete without the presence of a pea
cock. Among tbe other large birds
the cranes, the swans and even the
ostrich were held in hitrh esteem.
Geese were aWo highly prized, and
they were ettteH not with a sauce,
but stuffed with sumll greeu apples.
The duck and teal were served with
the juice of the orange and not that
of the lemon ; and they were prefer
red to the hodthcock and woodcock.
x.s for lark and thruhe they were
usually eateit at the end of a meal,
with the iden that it would prove s
sovereign remedy against affections
of the bowels. But the bird most in
esteem with the subjects of the
CaMars was the common thrush.
These birds were raided and fatted
iu large establishments near Borne
and brought very high prices. The
artificial rearing of these birds,
which are excellent for the table,
would prove an easy matter."
IV hy Momt-H Work.
It is curious that the world has yet
to be convinced that women do not
love work any better thau men do.
They are credited with dependence,
with a love of ca.ie and Inxtiry, and
yet when a salaried position is n
question the woman ha to take lesj
because "ahe needs less."
It cannot be because she spends
less, for tbe extravagance of women
wa-t dwelt upon by Solomon and
Jeremith, and it h a song that bis
never known a rest. The reason for
the difference in wires is generally
found to be in the assertion that
women who do not need a support
or who have few responsibilities
crowd into the paid occupations.
There is an inconsistency here. If
she loves ease, why does she work?
If she spends more, bow is it she
needs less?
The truth is that very tew women
work from any other renon, bnt
necessity. Here and there U one
who loves independence, works for
it, and deserves it, and here and
there is another who would rather
work than forego certain luxuries,
and she earns them, but the majority
of women work because they have
responsibilities, and a.3 a clas they
are our most reliable, sober and
economical worker, for no woman
with a family of little children gam
bles away their bread and butter, or
no sister or daughter who is, of
necessity, the bread winner, wastes
what she etrn, and comes home to
a .-ad, hungry family, bringing them
empty hands and an indifference to
their needs.
Toddlckins is a very small man
indued, but says he never minded it
at all until 'his three boys grew up
to be tall, strapping younjj fellows,
and hi wife began to cut down old
clothes and fix them over for him.
And then he nid he did get mad.
