and perception failed him, and he heard
and saw no more. He fell senseless at
the bottom of the engine, but even thea
his inanimate body continued TO be
whirled round as before, for Hanehen did
not dare to trust appearances in such a
villain, and would no, venture to suspend
the working Of the mill or stop the mill
gear and tackle from running at their
fullest speed. At length she heard a
loud knocking at the door, and few to
open it. 1t was her master and his fam
lily, accompanied by several Of his neigh
bors, all in the utmost CONSERVATION and
wonder at seeing the mill sails at full
swing on Sunday and still more so when
they found the poor child lying bound
on The grass, who however, was TOO te--
rifed to give any account of what had
happened.
Hanchen in a few words told all; and
then her spirit, which had sustained her
through such scenes of terror, gave way
under the sense of safety and relief, and
she fell fainting in their arms, and was
with much difficulty recovered. The
machinery of the mill was at once stop
ped and the inanimate rufian dragged
from his dreadful prison. Heinrich, too
was brough; forth from the miller's
chamber, and both were in a short time
sent bound under a strong escort, tc
Bonn, where they soon met the reward
of their crimes.
The history of this extraordinary act
of presence of mind concludes by telling
US that Hanchen thus effectually cured
of her pcnchaat for her unworthy suitor
became eventually the wife of the mil
ler's eldest son, and thus lived all her
life in the scenes of her great danger and
happy deliverance.

ONE SERMON DAY.-Henry Ward
Beecher, who generally says just about
what be pleases, in speaking the other
day in New York, on the influence of the
newspaper press, is reported to have
spoke as follows:
"The articles of the Press go farther
than the sermon, and carry with them
really more weight-certainly where one
hears three-which is an abomination
before God and man. No preacher who
is fit to preach a sermon is fit to preach
more than one day, and no man is ft
to hear more, or if he does he is not fl
for much else. Sermons are like boys
popguns, however many wads you put
in, its the last wad that drives the others
out"

treating his family as a religious man

fered his abuse IS long as humanity
could endure, she concluded to give him
brief talking to--io touch him upon
his religious belief
So, resolately seating herself by his
side, and looking him full in the face,
while a tear-drop glislened in her eye
for she was serious and thought perhaps
be was correct in his faith-she com

have a duty to perform, and shall do
it, and then, if you are miserable hereaf-

Reed, that when you die you win turn
into some animal, and you think it will
be a horse. Now, If you keep on your
present course, and continue to neglect
and abuse your family, squandering your
money for drink, and at the gaming ta-
bic, when you die you will turn into some
old tsgeire shilling horse, and some dirty
clam peddler will get you, and you will
be hard worked and half starved, aud |
shall see you every day before a riekeiy

be your eternity.
But now, Reed, il needn't be 50 your
