sIoNIsT Near Potsdam was q
mill, which, by its situation, in
terfered with the view from the
windows of the favorite residence
of Frederick the Great. Annoy
ed at this, and wishing to remove
it, the Emperor sent to inquire
the price at which the owner
would sell it. "For noprice,D was
the reply of the sturdy Prussian.
In a moment of anger, Frederick
gave orders that the mill should
be torn down. "The King may
do this" said the miller, "but
there are laws in Prussia And
forthwith he commenced proceed
ings against the monarch, the re-
suit of which was, that the court
sentenced Frederick to rebuild
the mill and to pay, beside, a
large sum of money, as compensa-
ton for the injury that he had
done. The King was mortified,
but had the magnanimity to say,
addressing himself TO his cour-
tiers, Il am glad to find that Just
laws and upright judges exist in
my kingdom"
Are there any laws in the Uni
ted Statess Alas! some of our
would be leaders persuade us that
there are no laws, and that we
have no rights. They admit that
the Radicals have pulled down
our mills, and now advise us to
submit and ratify their unlawful
proceedings, or they will pull down
our dwellings also. Shame, shame
upon such cowardly advice

Two or three months since friend of ours

current in America relative to his proposed
visit TO that country. The Abbe replied that
he feared he should never visit America. He
had heard of the terrors of the sea voyage,
and dreaded to attempt it. Besides, he would
not visit 1t as public performer, as he had
given up all ambition in that direction. At
one time he thought he would go, and give
grand vocal and Instrumental concerts of a
Sacred character, the proceeds Of which should
go to the Church, but that idea he has since
abandoned.
