MOSALLY 51159 's Hotel, Main I An franehon was bushy engaged in pre' l paring the dinner for the huuily, she was 2interrupted by a visit from her admirer, i Heinrich Boneler. He was an idle, gram" {has fellow, tstul her master, who knew his character well, had forbmden him the ‘house. But Hauchon could not believe {all the stones she had heard against her Ihm”, and was sincerely attached to him. l, On this occasion she greeted him kmdly, Near the hamlet of C'drofr, on the banks of the Rhine, not tar from Bonn, there stands the mill which was the scene of the fullowing adventure. One Sabbath morning the miller and his family get out as mud to attend “nice It the noun-eat church m the village of Hansel, leaving the mill, to which the dwelling- house was attached, in charge ofhis serv- auwuuid Hunchen. u bold hearted girl who had been some time in Isis service. The youngest child, who was still too little to go to church, remained also under her trtre. and not only got him something to eat ati, I once, but found time in tho midst of herl ( hueiness to sit dam: and have I gossip with) him, while he did justice to the fare set be. l 1 fore him. As he was eating ho lot fall the l, knife. which he asked her to pick up for 11 him; an plug fully "momrtrtsted, telling i him she feared, from all she had heard, he , did little enough work, and ought at least I to wait upon himself. In the end, bow. , ewr, she stooped down to pick up the knife, i when the trcaelserour villain drew adagger i from under his coat, and caught her by the nape of the neck, grappling her throat Jirtnly with his tiugers to prevent her screaming ', than. with an oath he desired her to tell him where her master kept his ‘uionev, threatening to kill her if she did not ‘oomply with his demand. The burprhcd laud terrified girl in rain attempted to pin-- ley with him, he still held her tightly in his choking grasp, leaving her no nthnr chance but to die, or betray her master. She saw there was no chance of softening him, or changing his purpose. and, with a full conviction of his treachery, all her na- tive courage awoke in her bosom. Meet. ing, however, to yield to what was inevit- able, she answered him in a resigned tone, that what must he, must; only, if he earri. ed off her master's gold, he must take her with him too ; for she could never stay to hear their suspicious and reproachs, en- treating him at the same time to relax his grasp at her throat, tor she could hardly speak,much lesss do what he bid her,while he held her so tight. At length he was in. duced to quit his hold, on her reminding him that he must loose no time, or the ta. niily would be returning from church. She then led the way to the master’s bed.room, and showed him the Coffer where he kept his money. "Here," she said reaching to l him an axe nhich lay in the corner of the F room, "you can openit with this, while I i run up stairs and putall my things together, besides the money I have saved since I I have hem here."

She had hardly time to secure herself in her retreat, when the rut. tiam holding the scrnming child in his nuns. and brandishing a knife in one hand, came up and bid her open the door or he ‘would break it down, nddlng many awful oaths and threats; to which her onlynnawer was. that she put her trust in God.

She l ‘had no reason to suppose that her oom- l plianee would save the life ot the child. It was to risk all uguir at nothing; end she resolved to hold out to the last, though the vilian from without should renew his thrents. saying that if she would not open the door to him he would kill the child. i and then not fm, to the mill over her head. l "I put my trust m God," was still the poor l girl's answer.

The grounds of the u Dean's popularity in that country are r)) F far to seek. With the exception oe Mr. t Bright, he was perhaps personally known ', , to a larger number of Americans than any i t other Englishman. Westminster Abbey in c the one place in England which every ' ‘educated American is anxious to visit ' I and it was therefore natural that they t should bare extended to the Dean some , portion of the interest with which thoyl ( contemplated the venerable mh'thse of ' 1 which he was the custodian. This brought l l him into personal communication with ', l many Americans long before he crossed l the Atlantic. When three or four years l ago he visited the United States, although he did not cross the continent or journey l further South than Washington, he wasi yet brought into direct contact with the l foremost representatives of American poli- I ties, literature and re'igious thought. l Among Americans generally strong sym. I patby was felt with the historical side of his character, also with the liberality of his l ecclesiastical views. m preached in men y places. and always to large and thoughtful‘ congregations, and he attended many l I social reunions. some of which were organ- l iized on a large scale. He spent a good Ideal of time in New England, and he du. lvoted some prrt of his leisure to the inver Etigation of subjects of historical interest, Iespacially of the circumstances connected [ with the execution of the ill-iated Major _ Andre. That he succeeded in imparting , to others some measure of his own yt:) ', shim) was shown by the fact that his host t Mr. Cyrus Field, purchased the fuld in! a which Andre was executed, in order that‘ g he might erect a memorial of the event on i the spot. The Dean returned to England b ‘ in buoyant spirits and with health appar- a ently re.estttblishcd. From that time up . E to the period of his death he never lost an . l opportunity of ondeavoring to promote . . friendly intercourse between Englishmen {and Americans; audit is therefore not (tmrprising that his death should have ex- 9 lcitedn genuine feeling of regret in the a l United States, and that many Americans k now in London should desire to be present 9 '; at his mueral.-- Times.

These springs are at an elevation of 70 feet from the river in a cavity 50 feet deep by 100 in diameter, brimming over with clear. sparkling water and furnishing a considerable stream to the 1 river below. The spring has the power of petrifsing, and every visitor curries off specimens of petrified wood and moss.
