Frederick the Great and the Miller.

Near Sans Souci, the favoritc resi-
dence of Frederick the Great, there
was a mill which much interfered
with the view from the palace. One
day the king sent to inquire what the
owner would take for TIE mill; and the
unexpected answer came back that the
miller would not sell it for any money.
The king, much incensed, gave orders
that the mill should be pulled down.
The miller made no resistance, but
folding his arms, quietly remarked,
"The king may do this, but there are
laws in Prussia" and he took legal
proceedings, the result Of which was
the king had to rebuild the mill and
to pay good sum of money besides
in compensation. Although his ma
jesty was much chagrined at this end
to the matter, he put the best face
he could upon it, and, turning to his
courtiers, remarked. 81 am glad to see
that there are just laws and upright
Judges in my kingdom A sequel to
this incident occurred about forty
yearsago. A descendant of the mill
er had come into possession of the
mill. After having Struggled for sew
eral years against everincreasing pow
erty, and being at length quite unable
to keep on with his business. he wrote
to the king of Prussia, reminding him
of the incident we have related, and
stating that if his majesty felt so dis
posed, he should be very thankful, in
the present difficulty, to sell the mill.
The king wrote the following reply in
his own handwriting: "NIy dear neigh
bor, I can not allow you to sell the
mill. 1t must always be in your pos
session as long as one member of the
family exists, for it belongs to the
history of Prussia. regret, how
ever, to hear you are in such straight
ened circumstances, and therefore
send you herewith .l,2OO in hope
that it may be of service in restoring
your fortunes. Consider me your
