HSINGLE COPIBS ONB CENT. THE MILL IN THE SEA. In olfen times there once lived two brothers, one of them was rich and the other poor. When Christmas was near at band, the poor one had not so much asa bit of meat ora crust of bread in the bouse, so he went to his brother, and bim in God's name, to give him a trifle. Now, it happened that this was not the first time that the rch brother had given the one something and he was not particulary ighted when he saw him coming. “« If you wiil do as I tell you,’’ said he to the unwelcome visitor, “you shall ha whole ham that is hanging up to be smoked. The poor brother said he would do what he told him, and thank him too. “ There it is,’’ said the rich brother, flinging him the ham, ‘‘and now go to the lower re- jions.*” ir SinegE have promised it, I must,’’ observ- ed the other, taking up his ham and going his wa: ‘Aiter wandering about the whole day, just as it drew dark be perceived a bright light at no great distance from him. “It must be here,’ thought he. On going somewhat further in the forest, however, he found a man with a long white beard, who was cutting wood. “ Good evening,’ aid he with the ham. “Good evening,” replicd the man ; “‘whith- er may you be going?’ “Oh, Fm ouly going to the lower regions; only [don’t know whether I’ve come the right way.’ roplied the poor simple-hearted man “Yes, you are quite right,” said the old man, ‘the entrance is just here;’’ and then he added, ‘When you have got down below, they will all want to buy your ham, for swine’s flesh is a great rarity there; but you must not sell it for money ; so rather ask to exchango it for the old hand-mill that stands behind the door. When you come up again. then I will teach you what to do with the mill ; for it hasits use, [can tell you.’’ Onentering the underground dwelling, every- thing happened just as the old man had told him. All the imps, great and small, gathered round, and began outbidding each other for the ham. “IT had intended feasting upon it on holy Christmas eve, with my wife,”’ said the man; “but, as you seem so bent on having it, I'm willing to part with it; but I will not take anything in exchange except the old hand-mill that stands behind the door.” The ehief imp did not at all relish parting with his mill, and he began to haggle and bar- ain with the man, but the latter remained Tm ; so at last the imp was fain to let him take the mill away. When the man had emerged from the underground dwelling, he asked theold wood-cutter how he used the mill, and, when he told him. he thanked him, and returned home; bat, let him make what speed he would, he did not reach it till twelve o'clock at right. “Where in the world can you have been,”’ said his wife, as he came in; ‘I've been sitting here waiting hour after hour, and I had not as much as a couple of splinters to lay across each other under the gruel-pot, to cook our, Christ- - mas dinner.’’ “ Ob,’ _— the man, “I could not come sooner, for I had some business to mind, and was obliged to go along way about it. But you shall see what | cae brought back with me.”’ He then placed the mill on the table, and made it grind, first of all, candles; thena table- eloth ; then food and beer—in short, all that was wanting for a Christmas feast ; and whatever be ealled for, the mill ground it immediately. His wife stood by, and crossed hervelf many times over, and was very anxious to know how her husband had come by the mill. But this he took care not to tell. “It matters not how I got it, wife,”’ said he; “you see this is a good mill, whose water does not cease to flow, and that’s enough.’ And then he ground eatables and drinkables, and every possible dainty for Christmas week ; and on the third day he invited his friends to a banqaet. When the rich brother saw what a feast was in preparation, he turned hot and cold with vexation, for he grudged his brother the least windfall. “On Christmas eve,” said he to the other guests, ‘he was so miserable poor, he come to ask me for a trifle in God's name, and now all of a sadden, he i+ as grand as if he had become an earl ora sr, Then turning to his brother, he said :-— Where on earth did you get ail these riches?” “ Behind the door,” answered the other, who had no mind to let thecat out of the bag. But towards evening, when he had takena toss too much. he could not keep his counsel any ionger, but brought out his mill. ‘Here is the golden goose that has brought me all my riches,’’said he, and made the mill grind first one thing and then another.” On seeing this, the brother wanted to buy the mill of him, but the other would not hear of it at first. At leugth, however, a3 his brother seem- ed to wish for it sovery much, he said he would take three hundred pounds for it, only he bar- geined not to part with it till harvest time; “for,” said be, “if I keep it tell then, I shall be able to grind enough fur many years to come.” During this space of time we may easily imagine that the mill was not aliowed to grow rusty; and when the harvest-timwe came the brother bad it given him, only the other had takea guod cure not to tell how he was to man- age it. it was eveuing when the rich brother brought the mill home, and on the following morning he told wife that she might go in the field with the reapers, and that he would meanwhile pre- pare dinner. Towards midday, therefore, he placed the mill on the kitchen table. “Grind away,”’ said he, ‘‘and let us haye some herrings and a mess of milk of the best sort.’’ So the mill began w turn out herrings and milk, Ull all the dishes. and pots and pans were filled, and at last the kitchen was completely flooded. The man kept twisting and turning the mill ; but do what he would, the mill did not cease grind- iug, and at length the miik had risen so high that be was in danger of being drowned. He how tore open the chamber door, but it was not floug befure the chamber was likewise inundated ; and it was with difficulty that he could wade through the milky tide. and wanage to unfasten the lateh of the house door. No sooner had he opeved the door than out be rushed, still pursued by a torrent of milk and herrings. And on he ran till he reached his brother's; and then he entreated bis poor relation, for God sake, to tuke his mill back ; ‘for if it on grinding for another bour,”’ said he, “the whole village will be inundated with herrings and milk.’’ Bat the brother refused to take back the mill unless the other counted out three hundred poumils more; and as there was no help for it, the rich ma: # fain to pay him the money So, now the poor brother kad money as well as the mill, he built s house that was far handsomer than the one his rich brother inhabited. With the help of the mill he collected so much gold, and as the hoase stood near the shore, it eould be seen shining from a great distanee at sea. All who sailed near the cvast were sure to an- chor in the neighborhood, and to pay a visit to the rich man in the golden house, in order to see the wonderful mill. , 2 captain, who, like »» many others, @ to see the mill, inquired, after look- ing at ir, whether it could grind salt” ‘- “ Yes, it can grind salt as well as anything, said the man. The captain then wanted to purchase it price ; “for,” thought he, “if I had this mi should not be obliged to sail so far over rough seas to feteh salt. and then I could make myself comfortable at home.”’ At first the man would not hear of selling It, but the captain teased, and teased so long, that he consented to part with it for many thousand any mds. As soon as the eaptain obtained the will, be took eare not to remain long in the neighborhood, for fear the man should repent of his bargain ; so without even sto to ia- aire how he was t» manage the mill, went k to the ship and sailed sumer: _ On reachin; the main sea, he took out bis mill, oried, “grind salt, and let it be prime staff!” And the mill began to grind salt till it split end cracked again, Wheo the ceptain fyuad Eben + mg Star.

(From the Cincinnati Gazette, Oct. 6] We met yesterday at the Miami depot a lady who has exhibited the most indefatigable perse- verance in the pursuit of information under em- barrassing difficulties. Three years ago she re- sided in California, which State, in fact, she claims now as her residence, and there became acquainted with a man named Munson—a cool, pleasing, affable gentleman, who so adroitly worked his way into her confidence that she in- troduced him to a young lady, 2 near and dear friend, possessed of some fifteen or twenty thou- sand dollars in cash. The result, as might have been anticipated, was the consummation of the lady’s heartfelt wishes—the marriago of her friend to the polished and affable gentleman. A few months rolled round, and everything passed off smoothly enough. The husband was affectionate and attentive; the lady all love and confidence. Finally, the husband express- ing a wish to enter into business and settle down for life, the confiding wife drew from her bankers almost the whole of hor fortune and placed it in bis hands. A week after, the steamer suiled for the Atlantic side, and the villain husband departed with thegold, leaving his confiding victim to the tender morcies of a local world that is far too busy to look after in- dividual wrongs in which they have no personal or pecuniary interest. he lady who had brought about the match felt and boldly faced her responsibility in the Premises, and on the sailing of the next home- ward bound steamer, she took assage fur New York, determined to follow the betrayer of her confidence and the love of a wife to the bounds of civilization, and bring him to punishment. Arriving in New York, she got traces of his footsteps, followed him over various routes, un- til she tracked him to a village in Pennsylva- nia, where she found Lim with another wile, to whom he had been married before going to Cal- ifornia. A warrant was issued for his arrest for bigamy, but having no proofs of his second marriage, afterashort examination, he was dis- charged. Nething daunted by this unlooked-for termi- nation of affairs, the lady immediately returned to California, procured the necessary affidavits substantiating Munson’s marriage there, to- gether with evidence of the fact of his having absconded with some $15,000 of his second wife’s funds, and once more returned to the Atlantie side in search of the betrayer of her friend. And that search she has prosecuted now for two or three months with the most de- termined and restieas rseveranoe; but thus far without success. He had left the village where ho resided when arrested for bigamy, and although the lady had obtained some rag sequent traces of his movements, when we met her yesterday she had not yet succeeded in as- certaining his present residonce. although she is satisfied it is somewhere in the West. She had already expended a large amount of her own funds in the pursuit, aud expressed her determination not to give up the chase until her “‘ sweet revenge’ had been gratified, and the villain brought to justioe. The lady pur- suer left yesterday for Cleveland, where she has friends residing. If she may not be classed amongst the ‘* strong-minded women,"’ she is certainly a very determined one that but. ———___2-e-_ Gerrit Ssitu Disaustep, Surepy, anv Goixa Howm.—An Abolition Convention as- sembled at Syracuse, N. Y., last week, at which Gerrit Smith was called on to preside. After discussing the policy of compensated emancipa- tion, in whieh Mr. Smith favored and Frederick Douglass opposed the plan, tho question of finance came up, and this elicited a discussion. in which the philanthropist of Peterboro’ stated that he had paid monoy for Kansas till be was tired, and he did not know where it had gone, nor what lithad done. Hesaid (ac- cording to the Courier’s report) “he had done ‘bleeding’ to the society. It had cost him now over $5,000, whereas the soc hadonly raised $1,500."’ He-said it was ‘ riding a free horse to death,’’ and he would no longer stand it; that he had got note after note discounted last fall for the pur, of raising funds for Kansas, and he didn’t know where it had gone, and he didu’t see that the society was any better for it Ile said, in conclusion, he had done. The so- ciety must help themselves, that he was tired, disgusted, and necded sleep. and if there wat no other question before the house, he would declare the convention adjourned sine dis. te igs A Harp Case—Too Mucn Sprarg on Haxp. A few days ago an honest, economieal “ bache- lor,’’ who by long years of toil had saved some $4,000, drew it from the —— Bank in this sity, not believing his money was safe there, in these ‘ troublous time.’’ His money was all in gold. He occupied a room in « building in the lower part of the city. On his way to bis quarters with his gold in a bag, he i ned every per- son he passed knew that he had gold. Went came, and he put the gold between the beds, and lay down on it, but not to sleep. His im- agination was alive; he deemed every noise made by burglars who were after his gold. During the long night watches he was sleepless, and he rejoiced when daylight came. He changed his quarters—took a room, if a more respectable locality ; put the gold away, went to his work, was uneasy, wont again and again to his room, looked at his bag of “yellow boys,” and * night and darkness’ came again. His gold was under him, but noises were round about him. He slept not. Inthe morning he rent toa friend on Front street, and asked, ** What shall I do with my money ?” told him his trouble for two days and night, and asked foradvice. “Go and deposit your gold again in the —— Bank, and take a certificate.” He did sv, —_ was happy, as his money iz safe.— N.Y. ost. Resvcrt or SwaLLowixe a Woo.ven Srock- 1x6 —A writer in the Boston Traveler of Octo- ber 6th says: “In reading your report of the Boston Society of Natural flistory 3 last ses- sion in August I observed that Dr. Head ex- hibited a large, smooth and hard hair ball, six inches in diameter, taken from the stomach of a healthy ox in Texas. This reminds me of an incident which occurred some time ago in the neighboring town of Sherborn. A fine, large ox was taken sick, refused to eat, and in spite of all remedies resorted to, soon died. At a ‘ post mortem examination’ a hard, smooth ball, of the size of a large apple, and resembling in consistence, as well as in color, a piece of gran- ite rock, was taken from his stomach, and on breaking it with a hammer, for eut it you could not, it proved to be a woollen stocking, which the animal had swallowed, and in its desperate efforts to digest had rolled over and over, and finally compressed into that rock-like ball. Nothing could give a better idea of the tremendous power of muscular action in an animal of that size. en Ie In the long run, those men get to be the richest, aa all past experience proves, who in- vest most of their surplus capital in good mort- gages and 1 estate. Itis astonishing how fast.s fortune accumulates, even at six per eont., if dividends and rents are invested quar- terly, or even somi-annually. Investments in real estate securities rarely or never bring loss; and hence there is no drawback on the com- pounding of interest. Tho fact is notorious that, of the Philadelphia families which were rich acentury ag. only those remain rich that kept the bulk of their wealth in real estate. No business man can afford—for any long period —to pay two per cent. for money; to demand such high rates is, therefore, not sound policy in the capitalist; and the reset of the rich, in this or any other city, if back a hun- dred years, affords abundant proofs of this. It is wiser, believe ns, not to “ kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.” —PiWadelphia Ledger, OFFICIAL, Treasury Drpantuaunt, i September 23, 1957, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the holders of stocks of the Un:ted States that this Department will purchase such certifieates as shal! be received here, duly assigned to the United States, previous to the Ist day of November next, at the rates here- tofore offered and paid, viz: 10 per cent. premium on the loan of 1842; 16 per cent. premium on loans of 1347 and 1948 ; and 6 per cent. premium on Texas indemnity 5 per cent. stock, tegether with the interest accrued in each case from Ist July.
