THE NIILLER'S MAID.

Near the hanks Of the Rhine, not far
from Bonn, there vet stands the m i'll which
was the scene of the following adventure: !:
One Sunday morning, the miller and
his family set out as usual to attend divine
services As the nearest church in the town
Of Hasssl, leaving the mill, to which tho
house was attached, in charge of his SER
want maid, HSnchen, bold hearted girl,
who had been some time in his service
The youngest child, who was yet too little
to 20 to church, remained also under her
care.
As HanQhen was busly engaged in pre-
pairing dinner for the family, she was in
tsrrupted by = visit from her admirer,
Heinrich Botteler. He was an idle, grace
less person, and her master, who knew his
character we'll, had forbidden him the
house but Hanchen could not believe the
many stories she had heard against her
lover, aud was sincerely attached to him
On this occasion she treated him kindly,
AID not only got him something to eat
once, but found time in the midst of her
business to sit down and have gossip
with them, while he did justice to the fare
before him.
As he was eating he let fall the knife.
which be asked her to pick up for him
She playfully demonstrated, sayiLg she
feared from what she had heard he did
little enough work and ought at least 70
wait on himself. In the end, however,
she stepped down TO pick up the knife,
whom the treacherous villain drew dagger
from under his coat, caught her by the
nape Of the neck, gripping her firmly with
his fingers to prevent her screaming, then,
with an oath be desired her to tell him
whore her master kept his money. threat
ening to kill her if she did not comply with
his demands.
The surprised and terrified girl in vain
attempted to parley with him. He still
held her tightly in bis choking grasp, lsav.
ipe her no other choice but to die or be.
tray her master. She saw there vas no
hope Of softsning him or altering his pur-
pose, and With An entire conviction Of his
trsachsry her native courage swoks in her
bosom.
Affecting, however, to yield TO what was
inevitable. she answered him in a calm
toss, that what must be must; only, if he
carried off her masters gold, he must take
her With him, for she could never stay "a
hear their suspicious and reProashss, on
treating him at the same time to relax the
grasp of her throat. for she could hardly
speak, much less do what he bid, while he
held her 20 tight. At last he was induced
to quit her hold, on her reminding him
that bs must lose no time, the family
would soon be returning homo from
church.
She then led the way to her master
bedroom and showed the Golfer where be
kept his money.

THE VALLEY BROOK.

Fresh from the fountains Of the wood
A rivalet of the valley came,
And glided on for many rood
Flushed with the morning ruddy fame.
|. The air was fresh, and soft, and sweet,
The slspes. in Springs new vsrdure lay,
Anu dwes dew drops, at my feet,
Bloomed the young violets Of May.
No sound Of busy life was heard,
Amid the pastures lono and still,
Save the faint cbrp of early bird,
Or bleat Of aocks along the hill
! traced that rivulets winding way:
Now scenes Of beauty opened round,
Where meads of brighter verdure lay,
And lovelier blossoms tinged the ground.
Al! happy valley stream, I said
Whose fragrance round thy path is shed
Through al the joyous summer hours.
O, could my life like thine be passed
In somc remote aud silent glen,
Where might dwell, and sleep at last
Far from the bustling haunts Of menl
But what now echoes greet mine ear?
The village school-boy's merry call,
And midst the village hum hear
The rustling Of the waterfall.
looked the widening vale betrayed
A pool that shone like FURNISHED steel,
Who're that bright valley stream was
stayed
To turn the miller's pendersus wheel.
And why should I, thought I, with shame,
Sigh for life Of solitude,
When even a stream without name
Is laboring for the common good.
No, never let me shun my part,
Amid the busy scenes Of life;
But with a warm and generous heart
Press forward in the glorious strife.

PRESERVING BurTER.-The farmers of
Aberdeen, Scotland, are said to practice
the following method of curing their but
ter, which gives it great superiority over
that of their neighbors:
Take two quarts Of the best of com.
mon salt, one ounce Of sugar, and ole
ounce of this composition for one pound
Of butter, work it well into the mass, and
close itup for use. The butter cured with
this mixture appears Of Il rich marrowy
consistency, and fine color, and never ac'
quires brittle hardness nor tastes salty.
DR.. Anderson says: !" have eaten butter
cured with the above composition that
had been kept for three years, and it was
as sweet as at first" 1t must be noted,
however, that butter thus cured is to stand
three or four weeks before it is used If
it is sooner opened the salts are not sulli.
GENTLY blended with it, and sometimes
the GOODNESS of the ntre will be perceived,
which totally disappears afterwards.
