THE MILIEE'S MAW. There is a lonely mill, close beside the liltle hamlet of Udorf, near the Rhine shore, between ihc village oi'Hersel andtJrsel, omhe left bank, below Bonn. Thia mill i3 said lo have been the Eccne oi the iollouingetory : Il was on Sunday morning, " ages long ago," llial lhe tniiler ol this mill and hia whole family wenl forth to hear lhe holy mass at the nearest church in the village of Ilersel. Tho mill, which was also h'.s residence, waa leit in charge of a servant girl, named Hannchen or Jenny, a .tjtoui-hcaried lass, who bad long lived with him in iliat capacity. An infant child, ot an age un¬ lit for church, was left in her charge likewise. The girl was busily employed in preparing dinner for thc return oi her master and family when wlio should enter, all ofa sudden, tlian an old awcctheari ot hers, named Heinrich Boite- lor. He was an idle, ^jracoless ftiHow, whom thc miller had forbidden his house, but whom Jenny, with t)ie amiable perversity peculiar to her SOX, only liked, perhaps, all lho better, be¬ cause others gave him no countenance. She was glad to see hiin, and she told him so too ; and alihouL'h In thc midst of her work, she not only got him someihing to eat ai once, hul also found time to sii down with him and have ri gossip, while he dispatched the food she sat be- ioru him. As he ata, however, he left fall, his knife. " Pick iha! up, my lass," said he in a joking way, to lhe good-nalurcd girl. *' Kay, ik'inrich," she replied, "yuur back 5iiQuld he more supple than mine, for you have lesa work to make ii siifi-. I labor all dny long, aud you do nothing. Rut never mind,'twould go hard wilh mc had 1 refused lo do more ihan thai for you, had thongh vou be." This was .spoken half sporiircly, and half in gond-carncsi; for hind-hearied as the girl was, and iinicli as she liked ihc scope-grace she wao 100 honest and industrious herself to cncouraee or approve ol idleness, and a suspicious course «it life in any one else, however dear to her. Hhe stooped down accordingly to pick up iiie kr.ilc. As she was in the aci of rising, however 1 ht: treacherous villain drew a dagger from under' hiseoai, and caucht her by^lhe napeof her neck, sripldng her ihroat iirmly with hia fingers lo prcveni her screaming the while. Now, lass," he said, swearing out a bad i.ath at the same lime, "where ia master's money 1 I'll have ihai or your iile ; so lake your choice. Thc terrified girl would fain have parleyed wilh lhe ruffian, bul he would hoar nothing she could say. " Master's money or your life, lasft!" waa all the answer he vouchsafed to her cnircaiies and adjurations, " choose at once," was the only al- icrnatiye he ofTorcd ; " ihe grave or the gold!" Sho saw that there was no hope of mercy nt his hands ; and as she saw it her native resolu¬ tion awoke iu Iicr bosom. Like ihe gencmlita of her gentle se:!c, she wae timid at trifles; y scratch was an object of fear to her—a drop of blood caused tier lo laint—an unwonted sound filled her soul wilh fear in thc night. But when her energies were aroused ^by any adequate cause, she proved, as her sex have ever done, lhat in courage, in endurance, in presence of mind, and in resources for every emergency, she far surpassed tho bravest and coolest men. '* We!!, well, Heinrich," she said, resignedly, " what is to be must be. But if you take the money, rshall even go along with ye. T^is will bo no home for me any mora.^But ease your gripe ofmy neck a liliie—don't squeeze so hard; I can't move, you ha« rao tso tight.- And if I can't gtiit you can't get tbo money; that's clear,you know.. Besides, time preaseB,' and ifil be done nt all, itmust bedoneqtriekly; as lhe household -will be back shortly from Her- sel." . ¦ ~ . - ¦ The TufHan relaxed bis gripe, and finally let go his hold. Her reasona were oil. cogent with his cupidity. " Come," she eaid, '* quick ?' qnick! no de¬ lay ! The money is in maslcr'a bed-roiim. She tripped up,stairs gaily"^aB^alark; he fol¬ lowed closely at her heela. -She leiltbe way in¬ to her masier*a bed-room,And. pointed out the co/Tjr in which hie money,was eecnrcd. " Here," she said, reaching him on ojcc which lay in a corner of ^he room, " this wiH wrench it open at once ; and while you are tying it up, 1 shall jusl step up siaira to my own apartment and get a few thinga ready for our flight, os well as my own lillle savings for ihe last five years. The ruffian waa thrown off his guard by her openness and. apparent .^«**ety to accompany bim. Like, all egoiis's. he deceived himseli, when self-dctreii was most certain to be hie de- siruciion. " Go lass," was all he said, "but bo not long. This'job will be done ina twinkling." She disappeared nt the words. He immedi¬ ately brofic open th: chest, and was soon engag¬ ed in rummaging its contenia. As he was thus employed, however, absorbed in (lie coniemplation of his prey, and eagerly occupied in securing it on hia own person, the brave hearted girl stole down sioJrs on tip-loe.— Creeping sofily along the passages, sho speedi¬ ly gained lhe door of the chamber unseen by Ilim, aud likewise unheard. It was but ihe work ol a moment for her to lurn the key in lhe rds and lock him in. This done, she rushed forth to the outer door of the mill, and gave the alarm. '¦Fly! ily!" she shrieked to the child, her ¦master's Utile boy, an infant five years old, the only boing wiihin eight oi her, "fly! fly to father ! on your lifp! TeU him we phall all be murdered ifhe hasie not back ! Fly ! fly ! " The child, who was at ploy before thedoor, Bl once obeyed the energetic command ofthe brave girl, and sped aa last aa his tiny legs could carry him on the road by which he knew his parenis would return from church. Hannchen cheered him onward, and inspired his Utile heart as he ran. "Bless thee, . boy ! bless ihcc ! " ahe ex¬ claimed, in the gladness of her heart; "and i» master arrives in time, I will offer a taper on ihe aliar of our blessed Lady of tho Kreuizberg, by Bonn." She sat down on (!ic slone bench by the milj door lo ease her over-excited spirit, and she wept, as she sal, at thc thoughts of iier happy deliverance. "Thank God!" she ejaculaicd, "thank God for hia escape. Oh! ihe deadly villain, and I so fond of him, too." A siirill whistle from the window of tlic chamber in which she had shut up the villain, caughi her, and made her atart to her feel. "Dieiher! Diether ! " she heard him shout, '* catch the child, and come hither, I am fast.— Corae hither. Bring the boy here, ond kill the girl." She glanced hastily up ai ihe casemcni, from which the imprisoned villain's hand beckoned to some one in (he distance ; and then an.\jou3ly looked after her infant emissary. Tho litlie mes¬ senger held on his way unharmed, however; and she thought to herself that the alarm was a false one, raised to cicile her fear and overcome her resoluiion. Just, however, as thc child reached a hollow spot in ihe-next field—ihe channel oi a natural drain, then dry with the heat ofBammer ¦she saw another rufH.in start up from the bed of the drain, and catching him in his arma, has¬ ten townrJa the miU, in accordance wilh the di" rection of his accomplice. In a moment she saw her danger ond in a mo' ment more, she formed her future plan of pro¬ ceeding. Uetreaiing into lhe miU, she double- locked and bolted the door—the only apparent entrance to the edifice, every oihcr means of ob¬ vious access lo the interior being barred by menns ofstrong iron gratings fi.ved against all the win¬ dows; and then look her post at the upper cascmeni, determined to await patiently her master's return, and her conseqoent delivery from lhat dangerous position, or her own deatli, if it were inevitable. " Never," said she" shall I leave my master's house a prey losuch villains, or pcmiil hia pro¬ peny to bo carried oif by such villains as ihcm, while I have life and slrer.gih to defend it." She had hardly time to secure herself wiihin when the ruffian from without, holding the helpless child in one hand, and a long, sharp knife in the other, assailed the door with kicks and curses, and imprecations ofthc most dread¬ ful character. " Confound thee," he replied, applying the foulest epithets ofwhich the free speaking Teu¬ tonic language are so copious ; '* open the door ru break it in an ye." ' Ifyou ean, you may," was all lhat ihe no¬ ble girl replied, " God is greater than you, and in him I put my trust." Cut the brai'a Ihroat," roared the imprisoned rufiian above, " thai will bring her to reason." Stout hearted as poor Hannchen: was, she quailed al this cruel suggestion. For a moment her resoluiion wavered, but it wag only for a moment. She saw that her own death was cer¬ tain ifshe admilted the assailant, and she knew tbat her master would be robbed. She had no reason to hope that even the life of lho infant would be spared by her compliance. It was to risk all against nothing. Like a discreet girl* she consequently held fust lo her resolve abide as she was while life remained, or until assistance should reach her. '' An' yc open not the door," shouted tho vil¬ lain without, accompanying his words with the vileet abuse, and fiercest imprecations. "I'U hack this whelp'a limbs to pieces, with my knife and then burn the mill over your head. T'wiU bo a merry blaze, I trow." *'I put my trust in God," replied the daunt¬ less girl; "never shall you step foot in these walls while I have life to prevent ye." The rulfian laid ihe infant for o moment on the sward, oa lie sought about for combustibles wherewith lo execute his latter threat. In this search he espied, perhaps,the only possible clan¬ destine entrance lo the buUding. It was a large apperfure in the wall, communicating whh the great wheel and other machinery of the mill, an'i was a point entirely unprotccled for the rea- ?.on that thc simple occupant had never supposed it feasible for any one to seek adniission ihrough auch a dangerous inlet. Elated with his diacov¬ ery, lhe rufiian reiurned lo the infant, and, ly ing the hands and feet of the lillle innocent threw it on the ground, even as a butcher wJlj fling a lamb destined for ihe alaughter, to awai^ his lime for slaying. He then stole back to the aperture, by which he hoped to effect the en trance. AU ibis was unseen hy the dauntless girl within. In the meanwhile her mind was busied witha thousand cogitations. She clearly perceived that no means would bc left untried to effect an entrance, and she knew lhat on the exclusion of her foe depended her own e.xisience. A thought struck her. "It is Sunday," she said to herself; "the mUl never works on the Sabbath; suppose I set it agoing now ? It can be seen afar ofl", and haply my master, or some of ihencighbors.won- dcring at the sighl, may haste hither to know the cause. A lucky ihought," she exclaimed; "lis God sem il to me!" No sooner said than done. Being all her life accustomed to mill-gear, it must ho the work of a inoment for her to set the miU in motion. A brisk breeze which sprung up, na it were by spe cial interposition of Providence, at onco set the sails flying. The arms of the huge engine whirled round with fearful rapidity; the wheel slowly revolved on ita axis; the smaller gear turned and creaked and groaned, according os lhey came into action; the miU was in full op¬ eration. Il waa in iha t very instant ibo ruffian, Diether, had succeeded in squeezing himself through the aperture in the waU, and getting safely lodged in the interior of the greiit drum-wheel. Hie diamay, however,'was indescribable, when he began to be whirled about with iia rointion, and found all hia efforts to put a stop to tbe powerful macbinory which set tbem in motion, or lo ex¬ tricate himself irom his perilous situation, were fruitless. Hia criea wero most oppalling; hta ahrieka were truly fearful; his curses and impre¬ cations were horrible to hear. Hannchen haa- tened to the spot, and saw him caught, liko a reptile as be was, in his Owa trap.. It need not be added that she did not liberate him.—She know that ho would ho. more frightened than hurt, ifhe kept within hia rotary prison; and aho knew, also, .that unless he .attempted to escape, iberq-H^^juld ^^-nq dangecothiaiidiiiiff. out of it, even though ho wei:e insenBiblfr and inam'miite'aU tho^wiiile.

HefeU eenaeleaa'on the bottorn of.the engine, but even then his inimimalie body ctin- tinued to be whirled round and rOund, os bofore; the bravo girl not daring to trust to appearance in connection" wiih such a viUain, and being, therefore afraid to suspend the working of the machinery or stop tho mill-gear and tackle from running at their fullest'speed. Loud knocking at the door was abortly after heard, and she hastened thither. It waa her master and hia family, accompa'Died by several of hia neighbors. The unaccustomed appear¬ ance ofthe mill-sails in full swing on the Sun¬ day, bad, aa she anticipated, atlractad their at¬ tention, and they had hastened home from church for tho purpose of ascertaining the cauae of the phenomenon. The father bore his Iiitle boy in hia arms; he had cut the cords wherewith tbe child was tied, but he waa unable to obtain any account ofthe extraordinary circumstoncee that had eecured from the affrighted innocent. Hannchen, in a iew words, told.all; and then the spirit which had auaiained her ao long and so well while the emergency lasted, forsook her at once as it passed away.. SJje fell senscleas into the arms of the mUler's eldest aon, and was wilh great diflicully recovered. The machinery ofthe mUl waa at once stop¬ ped, and the inanimate ruffian dragged forib from thc great wheel. The other ruffian was broughi down from his prison. Both were then bound, and sent lo Bonn under strong escort; and, indue courso, camo under the hands of the lown eicculioner. From Harper's Magazine. An Original sketcli in a Homely Frame. BY ELIZA, COOK. Georga Clayton was a good-lempered and well-condccled young man—laking the worldly average of temper and morals—as one would meet among a ihousand. He had served a re¬ spectable apprenticeship aa a cabinet maker to an old established firm, and at the ageof tweniy- hve, found himaelf foreman of the workshop, and in a condition to '*marry and settle in life.'' George had been born of the humbleat of the middle classsa, left an orphan at fourteen, and had been put out in the world by ihe united means of a few. kind-hearted relatives, who. wisely ihought that pity and Christiiln-like sympathy would be much more valuable, if ron- dered praclical, by giving the lad a little more looking after, and a trade—and George well re¬ paid tbem. Ho grew into a sober and indus¬ trious man, and managed to eavo a hundred pounds during the four years he woa courting Emma Serle, a very nice-looking fine-hearlod girl, the sister ol onc ofhis shopmaics, and who seemed to possess all the qualiiiesmosi desirable in the wife of an artisan. They seemed well suited toeaeh other, but George had a failing! it was lhat of being somewhat overbearing and e.xacting where he could control; and Emma had a spot in her disc; it was being apt to become sileni and sensitively reserved if any mortifying incident jostled against her spirit; but there seemed every probability of iheir forming a very contented couple ;—and when George stood at lhe altar, one fine July morning, in his blue Eurtoul, wilh Emma beside him, in her neat gray silk, the clergyman had a private opinion ihai they were a remarkably good-looking pair. A pleasant liltle dinner at the bride's father's, and a ramble in the suburbs, filled up the sunshiny hours, nnd that day two monihs we saw ihem snugly ensconced in a preiiy four-roomed house, in ihc neighborhood of Cnmden Town. Clean- linesa and comfort pervaded the domicil, with Emma as the sole presiding spirii, blending in her own proper person, cook, housemaid, page. Every thing went on smoothly for somo fow months; her whole atlention was given to George, for she loved him truly and fondly.— Emma was perfectly happy, but as the long winter nighta came on, and George sometimea siaid at hia Mechanics' Institute, or had a chat with a friend until ten o'clock, why, Emma be¬ gan to find it a little dull; and as her huaband had enireated lhat she would form no gossiping intimacy with her neighbors, sewing, scrubbing' and washing became somewhat monotonous. George belonged to an amotuer musical so¬ ciety, and when he did come home soon, gene¬ rally gat down to praciice a quartette part on the violin ; unfortunately, his wife had no greai love for music, bul she bore bis scraping and squeaking bravely, and even managed to appear delighted wilh his eflbrts, ihough she would often have preferred a game at crihbage, or a walk, or a little reading ; however, she never interfered with his will or pleasure, and George fiddled awayilo hishean'a conteni. It so hap¬ pened that Emma'ts broiher Henry dropped m two or thrco times when his sisier was alone, and found her rather mopy ; and the next lime he came, he brought under hia arm avery pretty spaniel. "Here. Emma," said he, " you are a good deal by yourself, and I ihought ihot this liltle fellow would aerve to amuse you, and be a sort of rorapany when George is out ; I know how fond you are of dogs, and I'm sure you'll soon liko* this one." Emma, was of course, pleased and grotificd with the gift, and gave her broiher an extra kiss as payment for Tiney.- Sure enough Ihe evening did pass much more cheerfully, though she had a stupid liltle, long- eared '• bow-wow " to lalk tc, and ahe sat with glistening eyea, expecting George, being sure lhat ho would be as pleased with Tiny as ahe When the husband came home, ho was re¬ ceived wilh. the accustomed kind words and comforiable meal, and due presentation of Tiney; but George frowned on the little animal with a look of supreme contempt, and angrily said. " What do you want with that beast; haven't you enough to employ you without a dog 7 you had better give it back to Harry lo-morrow—I won'i have it hero." These few words turned poor Emma's heart inlo an icicle; and, if we might reveal the secret thoughts ihat flashed across her brain, we should tell ofa momentary impression thai George waa unkind and some¬ what tyranical, but she smothered her feelings, and said nothing. Tiney was kepi for a daj or two. but when George saw Emma caress it, or give it food, he betrayed symptoms of ridiculous and pettish jealousy which rendered her unhap¬ py, and, at last, Tiney waa given back to Harry_ WeU," said her brother, as he took the ani¬ mal, " I did not think lhat George waa so sel¬ fish ; you are all day long by yourself, and he goes to hia club, and "Mechanics" three or four timo a week, and does overy thing he likes, and yet he won't let you have a littledog to keep you company. I ihink he's very unkind, Em¬ ma, but you rauan't mind it." Emma did mind it ihough, and had a " good cry " by herself, not that she cared so much about lhe relic of .King Charles, aa about George's selfishness in denying her such an in¬ nocent indulgence ; and it ie hardly to bo won¬ dered at, lhat when he returned home (hat night, and sal down to his music, Emma wont up stairs, and commenced needlework in her bod-room.— She had no tasto for music, and if George would not tolerate her Htlle spaniel, why should she be plagued with hia scraping. Daya went on, and matters did not mend. Georgo saw fae had pained his young wife, but he was too proud to "give way," and rather iocreaaed in dictatorial aupremacy, and adopted a sort of cold disiance toward her. Emma was human aa well as he, and ihough expected by all moral and practical teaching lo submit lo George's au thori¬ ty with amiable patience anti dove-like dociUty., we must confess that she felt hia '* rule " rather unnecessarily exacting, and while shp remem¬ bered how often he staid out of an evening, to gratify hia own wish, and how ho kept'rabbita in the garden, and how he spent hia money in "chopping and changing "of fiddles, why ihere was a aense of injustice arose in her boso.m, and sho positively began to agree wtth her brother, that George was aelfiah ; he poasesaed the dia- linguiahing characierisiic which marks many men; a love of Bway in hia home', even in this amaU mattera.ahd he thooght hia manly preroga-^ live invaded if hia wordor will!met 'with'the alightest xeaisiancs. Ho waa deeply -attiiched to bia'wife, but his wife must-have' no-interost in any thing but himself. .She was toS?ait oil him; flhe waa ;iot to gossip: with'M*^.

But the queation clung to bim; he began to think that, he.had not been Quilq as xdnaideratp.of.Emma's, pleasures aaa huaband ought to have been, and, in fact, he was rather ashamed of Hiirry's remarks on hia sister's, very.recluap life.. It ao happened that.George .was engaged that night at a debai- ing society, but he suddenly thought he would not go, and, turning to his brother*in-law., aaid, 'have you got that litlie spaniel yet that you gave Emmat" "Yea," replied Harry, "my wife and-young 'yn,dote on him; but I wish you bad let Emma kepi him, for I think she frolicd at your unkindncss in sending, it back; you know she is a capital girl, and makes a good fe, and you might of let her have.abitofa dog, just 10 keep' her company when you were oiit." "Well," said George, "dome a favor, Harry,and let me give Tisy back to her." Har.- ry was truly glad, for ho watfaware ofhis broth- er-in-law'a besetling sin, .andlhe epaniel was carefully tucked under George's.arm, when he left the shop. "Here Emma," said, ho, as he entered his neat parlor, "I have broiight back Tiny, and, you must take care of him lor my sake; I'm not going to the club, but if you'U put on your bonuet we'U'have a walk, and buy him a collar," Poor Emma never looked at the dog, but flung-her arms iiround George's neck, and kissed him, while great big tears wero rol¬ Ung down her checks. "Oh, George," she px- claimed, "and wUl you indeed let me keep him without being jealoua or angry? I did think il waa -i cry unkind of you to be cross about a trifle, and 1 know I have not bee'n so»good as 1 ought to be ever aince, but now I feel quito Uappy, and you are my dear Georgo again." Tha young couple went out for their walk, and George be¬ gan to find that he lost noihing by conferrjrig a Utile attention upon Emma, for her extra cheer¬ fulness becarhe contagioua, and he waa happier than he had been for a rhonth. On their return lhey met Harry and hia wife, and'while the two women went on, Harry took the opportunity of telling hia shopmate "a bit of hia mind." ''I lell you what, George," said he, "you'U find it won't do to expect a wife to think of nothing else than cooking and aiitching, and to stop at home forever; they want some amusemeni, and some change aa well as we do, and I don't think it's right of us to go out to oiir clubs so often and leave them at home sitting up for us; it isn't fair, and wc can't expect 'cm to be so mighty good-tempered when we do come home; and I aay it was very stupid of you not lo let Emma keep Tiny; women that love dogs, and birds, and dumb things, are always fonder of their husbands and children than other w^omen.— You've got your fiddle and your rabbits, you know, and why shouldn't Emma have that bit ofa dogi Take my word for it, George, that a man is a great fool when he acta like a selfish master instead of a kind husband." George slightly winced under this rough truth, but cer¬ lain it is, that he laid the council up and acted upon il. Some ihiee years paased on since those inci¬ dents occurred, and what do we see? There is tig George dancing little George after the most approved headlong fashion; and there is Emma holding up TiKY for Utile George's express de lectaiion, while the popular nur.sery theme of "Catch'er, catch'er, catch'cr," is a signal for Tiny's silken ears to be clutched at most un¬ ceremoniously by the juvenile gentleman. And now we see the qaarietis on Hampstead Heath, in ihc summer twilight, where the duodecimo Clayton makes a dozen consecutive somersets over aa many pebbles while in full pursuit of Tiny's tail. "Why, dear me, Goorge," saya Emma, sud¬ denly, "ihia is lhe way you alwa}s went to ihe bean-feast." "I know it is," replied he; "but it always cost me a good bit of money, and I always had a headache thc next day, eo I think I'm quite as well off here with you and my boy." His young wife gives him a look which doca him more good than a pot of ale would.— "Thanks to Tiny and your broiher Harry," continues George, "I am not selfish in my pleasure as I uaed to be; I had a sort of a notion when I was first married, that you were to do every thing I wanted, and I'm not quite so sure lhat I had a notion about caring for your wish¬ es, but when I sent Tiny awoy, and found you crying up stairs ofa night, I began to talk to myself, and thought I had not been quite so kind as I ought to have been; and then Harry said something to mo, and so, you seo. I've been a better fellow ever since; now haven't I, Em¬ ma?" There ia no occasion to record Enima's reply. Yeare havo rolled on; we could now point to George Clayton aa chiel and wealthy agent to great building contractors, andto a descendant ot Tiny,who claims especial favor in bis house¬ hold. Emma is as fond ot George as ever, and has never neglected him though he permitted her to keep a spaniel, and look her out for a holiday ramble when ho might havo been at a bean-feast. There aro aeven young Claytons flourishin? "fast and fair,"—boya andgirls—but we observo that Georgo never permits lhat masculine do¬ mination lo exist which deforms the social jus¬ tice, and ultimate moral and mental happiness of 80 many families; he permits his daughters lo wait upon his sons, but he ia equally watchful lhat Ilia sons should wait upon his daughters. We overheard him the other day talking to his eldest boy, just turned eighteen, "George,'' soid he, "if over you marry, be sure you don't expect too much of your wife; I should havo never been aa rich and happy aa 1 am ifl had been a 'selfish master,' instead ofa 'kind hus¬ band." Theso 'simple annals' are founded on facts, no't imaginaiion ; and let every young, aye, and old married men, learn something from them. Forthe Examiner ^Herald. ENIGMA. I am composed of 32 letters.

Lau&hter.-t-A hearty latigh occasionally ia an act of wisdom ; it shakes lho cobwebe out ofa man's brain, and the hypochondria out of his riba far more effectuoUy than either cham¬ pagne or blue pills. One of the Eraperora of Japan ia said to have killed bimaelf by immode¬ rately laughing on being lold that the Ameri¬ cana were govemad without a king. V In the la^t ni^Ver'.of the 'Christian Review,! ia^quarterly"puhliahed'fn Ne^ York,' thereTia ah, mieresling iirlicle pri lho, subject of " Spectral lilutionjt—their'eauses and Zatoj," by Di". Pond, Profeasdr-mtHo-TbeoIogical Seminary m Ban¬ gor, Me., in which he diacussea hia subject ve¬ ry fully and ably. I copy the following ct- iracts, for publication in ymir paper bopihg, that good may bo done thereby. * Another poriion of the apiritual manifeatai tiona may be, and probably are the result of occult natural causes. That thero are po were in nature beyond what.have ever,';fiS:y,et. been investigated/DP modestWan wilf preaiime to depy*: And that some of theso powera'or for¬ ces, call:them electricity, magnetiam, or what you will-T'do occaaionaily ahow thomaelyea in the facts of biology,mesmeriBm,,paothetiam and lho :like, ia highly, probable; and the preaent indicationa ore, that all whicli ia mysterious about the apiritual writings, and rappmgs—alj that doea notresolve itself inlo mere trick—is to be accounted for in thc same way. It is. an ad¬ mitted fact, that the answers received from the rapping, board coincide, very generally,- wiih the opinions or wishes of tho mediumr or^of some one present in conaultalion wiih bim. We know a very reapectable roan who diacovered that he waa a medium, and who occasionally ex¬ perimented upon himself, upon being aaked what he. ihought of it ho replied; "If the an¬ swers are from the spirits, they must he very silly spirits,-for. lhey always answer juat aa I wish to have them,: that is, if I have any. wish about it." Anoiher medium informs us that he can produce any answer he pleases, by only .fixing his mind strongly upon it at the time. If the spirits of the dead spoke, ihey would he likely to speak out independenily,—to speak just what fAe,v thought, and not what those thought with whom tbey were conversing. On the pos¬ sible e^ccfn'c character of these spiritual mani¬ fesiaiions, we aro happy to produce the testi¬ mony ot Dr. Samuel Taylor, a respectable phy¬ sician of Peterahain, Maea., whoae article on the subject may be found in a lote number of the'Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. Dr. T. discovered, accidentally that ba waa a medium; and ho proceeded to make experi¬ ments upon himself. Tho manifeatation, in hia caae, was not by rapping, but by writing—a much more intelligible mode of communicating with the world. On taking his pen, and hold¬ ing himself in a particular attitude, and propo¬ sing mentally some question lo the spirits, his pen would begin to oscillate his fingers, and very soon would write outon anawer, without any conacious effort of his own. He tried the experiment many timea, and always with the same reault. And what is parlicularly to bo no¬ ticed, ia, the pen. would alwaya write on an¬ swer which accorded with hia own opinions or wishes. Fore.tample: Dr. T. inquired of one of ihc spirits about the different forma of reli- gicn-: '.'I asked," saya he, "which was lhe beat religion at the some time fixing my mind firmly on the word Protestant. My hand imme¬ diately wrole Protestant. In the same manner and by the direction of the aamo spirit, my hand wrole 3Iethodist Unitarian, andl believe onoor two oihers." While in thia^'tate, Dr. T. says : I lelt a sensation Uke ihat o( a Ught galvanic current passing ihrough me. ,Sometimes ii ap¬ peared to be .a steady thrill, and sometimes il was intermittent, resembling slight shocks of olecincity," After numerous experiments, Dr. T. comes lo the conclnsion that the strange appearances of which he waa lhe subject were not tricka of his own, neiiher did lhey come from lhe spirit world, but wero the result of what he calls " de¬ tached vital electricity." When this conclusion had been formed in his'own mind, it occurred lo him that he would put it to the lest of the spirits themselves. "Accordingly, I asked ihem," says he, " ifthis waa thJ work of de¬ parted spirits ? Thc answer was, " No," I ask^ ed ifil was thc work of the devU ? Again the answer was " Ko." I asked if it was the efl'eci of detached vitalized electricity? The answer "Yes." So the apirila confirmed the conclu¬ sion 10 which the Docior had come, aa lhey did; in fact, all his concluaions. Allhough Dr. T- rejects the idea lhat the answers which he re¬ ceived came from ihe other world he adda beliefihai the wriibgs aro ihe wf»Tk of spirits ti:7ids greatly to thc perfection of the experiitienl since it better concentrates thc mind on the sub ject, and excites the nervoua syatem more strongly." We have thc teatimony of another medium, of the same purport with lhat of Dr. Taylor. Mr. Benjamin F. Coolcy, who had long been a believer and operator in the spirii¬ ual rappings, statea ihat hia miiid is now entire¬ ly changed. Thia change has been brought about, he saya in consequence of " a deep and earnest study of the nature, power, and application of electri- cily, and of the susceptibility of the mina to electrical or psychological changes." These things, he tells us, will " produce the same my stcrioua and startling plienomcna, which have been produced ihroughout the counlry, and at¬ lribuied to the operationa of departed apirita.' We have now considered a class of spiritual or spectral phenomena which maybe regarded as the product of 7iatural causes. There ia noth¬ ing supernatural about any of ihem, more than there ia in the attraction of gravitation, or of the loadstone," The following are the conclu ding remarks of Dr. Pond's, article. We closo this discussion as wo commenced it, with affirming our belief in lho existence o a spirit world, whicii may be very near ious and into which all who depart this life immedi¬ ately enter. We believe that other life to be a place, not of shadows, but of substantial rcali lies, noi of gloomy reposo and indolence, but of glowing consciousness, and of inleneo mental sensibility and activity; a place of happinesa or misery, according as the character is good or bad. We believo that spirits irom the other world, have actually appeared to men, as re¬ corded in the scriptures, and for uught wc know they may appear agoin. But if lhey do they wiU come (as thcy a ways have come) on some fitting occasion, an d for some important purpose, not lo engage in'amall talk, and reveal secrets, and gratify an idle curiosity, but on some errand worthy of iheloccasionandof God. And here as it secma to us, ia a remarkable dif¬ ference beiween tho apparolions recorded in the Scriptures, and those which are aaid to occur in modern limes. The former made no disclosures respecting that world from which they had conic. They had aeen and heard many things, but what they had aeen it was not lawful for man 10 utter, and iho worda which lhey had heard were unspeakable words- The latter, on the contrary, practice no reserve. They lell you all about the world of apirita. They go into the minutest particulars, and publish " a penny- magazine of the spiritual world." Let ua hear, then, the conclusion of ihe wholo matter : tho Bible alone, is a aafe guide in respect to the things of the other world. God has lold ua in his word all that we need lo know respecting lhat world. He haa told uS aU thathe intends wo ever sball know, until we get there. He haa lold us enough to awaken tho moat lively intereat, and the moat eameat solicitude. And what ho has Iold us, we havo on hia own infal¬ lible authority. It is to bo depended on. It ia the word of him who cannot Uo Let us then study his Holy Word, believe it, love it, and livo according to it. Let us prepare for thot world on which we are aoon to enter, and not bo vainly attempting to pry into its aecreta, or be running afler thoso who can know no more about it than wo do ourselves." ^ttna^ttgttftj"isntterttBcinents; j MilaWel^Iitg'.giytietttgei^^^^ ; ?ina»e{pfifa,gpifterttgemgtttg.; | a^hflali^lphla, aosjcrtfaemEHts Fil* Proof Safes.

THE MILIEE'S MAW.
There is a lonely mill, close beside the liltle hamlet of Udorf, near the Rhine shore, between ihc village oi'Hersel andtJrsel, omhe left bank, below Bonn. Thia mill i3 said lo have been the Eccne oi the iollouingetory :
Il was on Sunday morning, " ages long ago," llial lhe tniiler ol this mill and hia whole family wenl forth to hear lhe holy mass at the nearest church in the village of Ilersel. Tho mill, which was also h'.s residence, waa leit in charge of a servant girl, named Hannchen or Jenny, a .tjtoui-hcaried lass, who bad long lived with him in iliat capacity. An infant child, ot an age un¬ lit for church, was left in her charge likewise.
The girl was busily employed in preparing dinner for thc return oi her master and family when wlio should enter, all ofa sudden, tlian an old awcctheari ot hers, named Heinrich Boite- lor. He was an idle, ^jracoless ftiHow, whom thc miller had forbidden his house, but whom Jenny, with t)ie amiable perversity peculiar to her SOX, only liked, perhaps, all lho better, be¬ cause others gave him no countenance. She was glad to see hiin, and she told him so too ; and alihouL'h In thc midst of her work, she not only got him someihing to eat ai once, hul also found time to sii down with him and have ri gossip, while he dispatched the food she sat be- ioru him. As he ata, however, he left fall, his knife.
" Pick iha! up, my lass," said he in a joking way, to lhe good-nalurcd girl.
*' Kay, ik'inrich," she replied, "yuur back 5iiQuld he more supple than mine, for you have lesa work to make ii siifi-. I labor all dny long, aud you do nothing. Rut never mind,'twould go hard wilh mc had 1 refused lo do more ihan thai for you, had thongh vou be."
This was .spoken half sporiircly, and half in gond-carncsi; for hind-hearied as the girl was, and iinicli as she liked ihc scope-grace she wao 100 honest and industrious herself to cncouraee or approve ol idleness, and a suspicious course
«it life in any one else, however dear to her.
Hhe stooped down accordingly to pick up iiie kr.ilc. As she was in the aci of rising, however 1 ht: treacherous villain drew a dagger from under' hiseoai, and caucht her by^lhe napeof her neck, sripldng her ihroat iirmly with hia fingers lo prcveni her screaming the while.
Now, lass," he said, swearing out a bad i.ath at the same lime, "where ia master's money 1 I'll have ihai or your iile ; so lake your
choice.
Thc terrified girl would fain have parleyed wilh lhe ruffian, bul he would hoar nothing she could say.
" Master's money or your life, lasft!" waa all the answer he vouchsafed to her cnircaiies and adjurations, " choose at once," was the only al- icrnatiye he ofTorcd ; " ihe grave or the gold!"
Sho saw that there was no hope of mercy nt his hands ; and as she saw it her native resolu¬ tion awoke iu Iicr bosom. Like ihe gencmlita of her gentle se:!c, she wae timid at trifles; y scratch was an object of fear to her—a drop of blood caused tier lo laint—an unwonted sound filled her soul wilh fear in thc night. But when her energies were aroused ^by any adequate cause, she proved, as her sex have ever done, lhat in courage, in endurance, in presence of mind, and in resources for every emergency, she far surpassed tho bravest and coolest men.
'* We!!, well, Heinrich," she said, resignedly, " what is to be must be. But if you take the money, rshall even go along with ye. T^is will bo no home for me any mora.^But ease your gripe ofmy neck a liliie—don't squeeze so hard; I can't move, you ha« rao tso tight.- And if I can't gtiit you can't get tbo money;
that's clear,you know.. Besides, time preaseB,' and ifil be done nt all, itmust bedoneqtriekly; as lhe household -will be back shortly from Her- sel." . ¦ ~ . - ¦
The TufHan relaxed bis gripe, and finally let go his hold. Her reasona were oil. cogent with his cupidity.
" Come," she eaid, '* quick ?' qnick! no de¬ lay ! The money is in maslcr'a bed-roiim.
She tripped up,stairs gaily"^aB^alark; he fol¬ lowed closely at her heela. -She leiltbe way in¬ to her masier*a bed-room,And. pointed out the co/Tjr in which hie money,was eecnrcd.
" Here," she said, reaching him on ojcc which lay in a corner of ^he room, " this wiH wrench it open at once ; and while you are tying it up, 1 shall jusl step up siaira to my own apartment and get a few thinga ready for our flight, os well as my own lillle savings for ihe last five years. The ruffian waa thrown off his guard by her openness and. apparent .^«**ety to accompany bim. Like, all egoiis's. he deceived himseli, when self-dctreii was most certain to be hie de- siruciion.
" Go lass," was all he said, "but bo not long. This'job will be done ina twinkling."
She disappeared nt the words. He immedi¬ ately brofic open th: chest, and was soon engag¬ ed in rummaging its contenia.
As he was thus employed, however, absorbed in (lie coniemplation of his prey, and eagerly occupied in securing it on hia own person, the brave hearted girl stole down sioJrs on tip-loe.— Creeping sofily along the passages, sho speedi¬ ly gained lhe door of the chamber unseen by Ilim, aud likewise unheard. It was but ihe work ol a moment for her to lurn the key in lhe rds and lock him in. This done, she rushed forth to the outer door of the mill, and gave the alarm.
'¦Fly! ily!" she shrieked to the child, her ¦master's Utile boy, an infant five years old, the only boing wiihin eight oi her, "fly! fly to father ! on your lifp! TeU him we phall all be murdered ifhe hasie not back ! Fly ! fly ! "
The child, who was at ploy before thedoor, Bl once obeyed the energetic command ofthe brave girl, and sped aa last aa his tiny legs could carry him on the road by which he knew his parenis would return from church. Hannchen cheered him onward, and inspired his Utile heart as he ran.
"Bless thee, . boy ! bless ihcc ! " ahe ex¬ claimed, in the gladness of her heart; "and i» master arrives in time, I will offer a taper on ihe aliar of our blessed Lady of tho Kreuizberg, by Bonn."
She sat down on (!ic slone bench by the milj door lo ease her over-excited spirit, and she wept, as she sal, at thc thoughts of iier happy deliverance.
"Thank God!" she ejaculaicd, "thank God for hia escape. Oh! ihe deadly villain, and I so fond of him, too."
A siirill whistle from the window of tlic chamber in which she had shut up the villain, caughi her, and made her atart to her feel.
"Dieiher! Diether ! " she heard him shout, '* catch the child, and come hither, I am fast.— Corae hither. Bring the boy here, ond kill the girl."
She glanced hastily up ai ihe casemcni, from which the imprisoned villain's hand beckoned to some one in (he distance ; and then an.\jou3ly looked after her infant emissary. Tho litlie mes¬ senger held on his way unharmed, however; and she thought to herself that the alarm was a false one, raised to cicile her fear and overcome her resoluiion. Just, however, as thc child reached a hollow spot in ihe-next field—ihe channel oi a natural drain, then dry with the heat ofBammer ¦she saw another rufH.in start up from the bed of the drain, and catching him in his arma, has¬ ten townrJa the miU, in accordance wilh the di" rection of his accomplice.
In a moment she saw her danger ond in a mo' ment more, she formed her future plan of pro¬ ceeding. Uetreaiing into lhe miU, she double- locked and bolted the door—the only apparent entrance to the edifice, every oihcr means of ob¬ vious access lo the interior being barred by menns ofstrong iron gratings fi.ved against all the win¬ dows; and then look her post at the upper cascmeni, determined to await patiently her master's return, and her conseqoent delivery from lhat dangerous position, or her own deatli, if it were inevitable.
" Never," said she" shall I leave my master's house a prey losuch villains, or pcmiil hia pro¬ peny to bo carried oif by such villains as ihcm, while I have life and slrer.gih to defend it."
She had hardly time to secure herself wiihin when the ruffian from without, holding the helpless child in one hand, and a long, sharp knife in the other, assailed the door with kicks and curses, and imprecations ofthc most dread¬ ful character.
" Confound thee," he replied, applying the foulest epithets ofwhich the free speaking Teu¬ tonic language are so copious ; '* open the door ru break it in an ye."
' Ifyou ean, you may," was all lhat ihe no¬ ble girl replied, " God is greater than you, and in him I put my trust."
Cut the brai'a Ihroat," roared the imprisoned rufiian above, " thai will bring her to reason."
Stout hearted as poor Hannchen: was, she quailed al this cruel suggestion. For a moment her resoluiion wavered, but it wag only for a moment. She saw that her own death was cer¬ tain ifshe admilted the assailant, and she knew tbat her master would be robbed. She had no reason to hope that even the life of lho infant would be spared by her compliance. It was to risk all against nothing. Like a discreet girl* she consequently held fust lo her resolve abide as she was while life remained, or until assistance should reach her.
'' An' yc open not the door," shouted tho vil¬ lain without, accompanying his words with the vileet abuse, and fiercest imprecations. "I'U hack this whelp'a limbs to pieces, with my knife and then burn the mill over your head. T'wiU bo a merry blaze, I trow."
*'I put my trust in God," replied the daunt¬ less girl; "never shall you step foot in these walls while I have life to prevent ye."
The rulfian laid ihe infant for o moment on the sward, oa lie sought about for combustibles wherewith lo execute his latter threat. In this search he espied, perhaps,the only possible clan¬ destine entrance lo the buUding. It was a large apperfure in the wall, communicating whh the great wheel and other machinery of the mill, an'i was a point entirely unprotccled for the rea- ?.on that thc simple occupant had never supposed it feasible for any one to seek adniission ihrough auch a dangerous inlet. Elated with his diacov¬ ery, lhe rufiian reiurned lo the infant, and, ly ing the hands and feet of the lillle innocent threw it on the ground, even as a butcher wJlj fling a lamb destined for ihe alaughter, to awai^ his lime for slaying. He then stole back to the aperture, by which he hoped to effect the en trance. AU ibis was unseen hy the dauntless girl within.
In the meanwhile her mind was busied witha thousand cogitations. She clearly perceived that no means would bc left untried to effect an entrance, and she knew lhat on the exclusion of her foe depended her own e.xisience. A thought struck her.
"It is Sunday," she said to herself; "the mUl never works on the Sabbath; suppose I set it agoing now ? It can be seen afar ofl", and haply my master, or some of ihencighbors.won- dcring at the sighl, may haste hither to know the cause. A lucky ihought," she exclaimed; "lis God sem il to me!"
No sooner said than done. Being all her life accustomed to mill-gear, it must ho the work of a inoment for her to set the miU in motion. A brisk breeze which sprung up, na it were by spe cial interposition of Providence, at onco set the sails flying. The arms of the huge engine whirled round with fearful rapidity; the wheel slowly revolved on ita axis; the smaller gear turned and creaked and groaned, according os lhey came into action; the miU was in full op¬ eration.
Il waa in iha t very instant ibo ruffian, Diether, had succeeded in squeezing himself through the aperture in the waU, and getting safely lodged in the interior of the greiit drum-wheel. Hie diamay, however,'was indescribable, when he began to be whirled about with iia rointion, and found all hia efforts to put a stop to tbe powerful macbinory which set tbem in motion, or lo ex¬ tricate himself irom his perilous situation, were fruitless. Hia criea wero most oppalling; hta ahrieka were truly fearful; his curses and impre¬ cations were horrible to hear. Hannchen haa- tened to the spot, and saw him caught, liko a reptile as be was, in his Owa trap.. It need not be added that she did not liberate him.—She know that ho would ho. more frightened than hurt, ifhe kept within hia rotary prison; and aho knew, also, .that unless he .attempted to escape, iberq-H^^juld ^^-nq dangecothiaiidiiiiff. out of it, even though ho wei:e insenBiblfr and

Loud knocking at the door was abortly after heard, and she hastened thither. It waa her master and hia family, accompa'Died by several of hia neighbors. The unaccustomed appear¬ ance ofthe mill-sails in full swing on the Sun¬ day, bad, aa she anticipated, atlractad their at¬ tention, and they had hastened home from church for tho purpose of ascertaining the cauae of the phenomenon. The father bore his Iiitle boy in hia arms; he had cut the cords wherewith tbe child was tied, but he waa unable to obtain any account ofthe extraordinary circumstoncee that had eecured from the affrighted innocent.
Hannchen, in a iew words, told.all; and then the spirit which had auaiained her ao long and so well while the emergency lasted, forsook her at once as it passed away.. SJje fell senscleas into the arms of the mUler's eldest aon, and was wilh great diflicully recovered.
The machinery ofthe mUl waa at once stop¬ ped, and the inanimate ruffian dragged forib from thc great wheel. The other ruffian was broughi down from his prison. Both were then bound, and sent lo Bonn under strong escort; and, indue courso, camo under the hands of the lown eicculioner.

BY ELIZA, COOK.
Georga Clayton was a good-lempered and well-condccled young man—laking the worldly average of temper and morals—as one would meet among a ihousand. He had served a re¬ spectable apprenticeship aa a cabinet maker to an old established firm, and at the ageof tweniy- hve, found himaelf foreman of the workshop, and in a condition to '*marry and settle in life.'' George had been born of the humbleat of the middle classsa, left an orphan at fourteen, and had been put out in the world by ihe united means of a few. kind-hearted relatives, who. wisely ihought that pity and Christiiln-like sympathy would be much more valuable, if ron- dered praclical, by giving the lad a little more looking after, and a trade—and George well re¬ paid tbem. Ho grew into a sober and indus¬ trious man, and managed to eavo a hundred pounds during the four years he woa courting Emma Serle, a very nice-looking fine-hearlod girl, the sister ol onc ofhis shopmaics, and who seemed to possess all the qualiiiesmosi desirable in the wife of an artisan. They seemed well suited toeaeh other, but George had a failing! it was lhat of being somewhat overbearing and e.xacting where he could control; and Emma had a spot in her disc; it was being apt to become sileni and sensitively reserved if any mortifying incident jostled against her spirit; but there seemed every probability of iheir forming a very contented couple ;—and when George stood at lhe altar, one fine July morning, in his blue Eurtoul, wilh Emma beside him, in her neat gray silk, the clergyman had a private opinion ihai they were a remarkably good-looking pair. A pleasant liltle dinner at the bride's father's, and a ramble in the suburbs, filled up the sunshiny hours, nnd that day two monihs we saw ihem snugly ensconced in a preiiy four-roomed house, in ihc neighborhood of Cnmden Town. Clean- linesa and comfort pervaded the domicil, with Emma as the sole presiding spirii, blending in her own proper person, cook, housemaid, page. Every thing went on smoothly for somo fow months; her whole atlention was given to George, for she loved him truly and fondly.— Emma was perfectly happy, but as the long winter nighta came on, and George sometimea siaid at hia Mechanics' Institute, or had a chat with a friend until ten o'clock, why, Emma be¬ gan to find it a little dull; and as her huaband had enireated lhat she would form no gossiping intimacy with her neighbors, sewing, scrubbing' and washing became somewhat monotonous.
George belonged to an amotuer musical so¬ ciety, and when he did come home soon, gene¬ rally gat down to praciice a quartette part on the violin ; unfortunately, his wife had no greai love for music, bul she bore bis scraping and squeaking bravely, and even managed to appear delighted wilh his eflbrts, ihough she would often have preferred a game at crihbage, or a walk, or a little reading ; however, she never interfered with his will or pleasure, and George fiddled awayilo hishean'a conteni. It so hap¬ pened that Emma'ts broiher Henry dropped m two or thrco times when his sisier was alone, and found her rather mopy ; and the next lime he came, he brought under hia arm avery pretty spaniel. "Here. Emma," said he, " you are a good deal by yourself, and I ihought ihot this liltle fellow would aerve to amuse you, and be a sort of rorapany when George is out ; I know how fond you are of dogs, and I'm sure you'll soon liko* this one." Emma, was of course, pleased and grotificd with the gift, and gave her broiher an extra kiss as payment for Tiney.- Sure enough Ihe evening did pass much more cheerfully, though she had a stupid liltle, long- eared '• bow-wow " to lalk tc, and ahe sat with glistening eyea, expecting George, being sure lhat ho would be as pleased with Tiny as ahe
When the husband came home, ho was re¬ ceived wilh. the accustomed kind words and comforiable meal, and due presentation of Tiney; but George frowned on the little animal with a look of supreme contempt, and angrily said. " What do you want with that beast; haven't you enough to employ you without a dog 7 you had better give it back to Harry lo-morrow—I won'i have it hero." These few words turned poor Emma's heart inlo an icicle; and, if we might reveal the secret thoughts ihat flashed across her brain, we should tell ofa momentary impression thai George waa unkind and some¬ what tyranical, but she smothered her feelings, and said nothing. Tiney was kepi for a daj or two. but when George saw Emma caress it, or give it food, he betrayed symptoms of ridiculous and pettish jealousy which rendered her unhap¬ py, and, at last, Tiney waa given back to Harry_
WeU," said her brother, as he took the ani¬ mal, " I did not think lhat George waa so sel¬ fish ; you are all day long by yourself, and he goes to hia club, and "Mechanics" three or four timo a week, and does overy thing he likes, and yet he won't let you have a littledog to keep you company. I ihink he's very unkind, Em¬ ma, but you rauan't mind it."
Emma did mind it ihough, and had a " good cry " by herself, not that she cared so much about lhe relic of .King Charles, aa about George's selfishness in denying her such an in¬ nocent indulgence ; and it ie hardly to bo won¬ dered at, lhat when he returned home (hat night, and sal down to his music, Emma wont up stairs, and commenced needlework in her bod-room.— She had no tasto for music, and if George would not tolerate her Htlle spaniel, why should she be plagued with hia scraping. Daya went on, and matters did not mend. Georgo saw fae had pained his young wife, but he was too proud to "give way," and rather iocreaaed in dictatorial aupremacy, and adopted a sort of cold disiance toward her. Emma was human aa well as he, and ihough expected by all moral and practical teaching lo submit lo George's au thori¬ ty with amiable patience anti dove-like dociUty., we must confess that she felt hia '* rule " rather unnecessarily exacting, and while shp remem¬ bered how often he staid out of an evening, to gratify hia own wish, and how ho kept'rabbita in the garden, and how he spent hia money in "chopping and changing "of fiddles, why ihere was a aense of injustice arose in her boso.m, and sho positively began to agree wtth her brother, that George was aelfiah ; he poasesaed the dia- linguiahing characierisiic which marks many men; a love of Bway in hia home', even in this amaU mattera.ahd he thooght hia manly preroga-^ live invaded if hia wordor will!met 'with'the alightest xeaisiancs. Ho waa deeply -attiiched to bia'wife, but his wife must-have' no-interost in any thing but himself. .She was toS?ait oil him; flhe waa ;iot to gossip: with'M*^.

Emma was lees attentive to his comforts, and lass particular in sliidyinghis will, than eho had hitherto been, nn4.^peprge resented the neglect emarjly. Small quarrels aroao, andj happiness seemed laking .flight from Jhe little./dweUing. George staid put oftener, and Emma fo^nnd it mora dull .than ever; at last, he cpntinually aaw traces of tears bn her face when, he re turned, and his conscience began to.get uneasy. He'was. good at.heart, and when Harry aaked him.one day "why'he left Emma so much by herself?" ho grow rather rod in.the face, and changed.th'e siibject as aooii da possible... But the queation clung to bim; he began to think that, he.had not been Quilq as xdnaideratp.of.Emma's, pleasures aaa huaband ought to have been, and, in fact, he was rather ashamed of Hiirry's remarks on hia sister's, very.recluap life.. It ao happened that.George .was engaged that night at a debai- ing society, but he suddenly thought he would not go, and, turning to his brother*in-law., aaid, 'have you got that litlie spaniel yet that you gave Emmat" "Yea," replied Harry, "my wife and-young 'yn,dote on him; but I wish you bad let Emma kepi him, for I think she frolicd at your unkindncss in sending, it back; you know she is a capital girl, and makes a good fe, and you might of let her have.abitofa dog, just 10 keep' her company when you were oiit." "Well," said George, "dome a favor, Harry,and let me give Tisy back to her." Har.- ry was truly glad, for ho watfaware ofhis broth- er-in-law'a besetling sin, .andlhe epaniel was carefully tucked under George's.arm, when he left the shop. "Here Emma," said, ho, as he entered his neat parlor, "I have broiight back Tiny, and, you must take care of him lor my sake; I'm not going to the club, but if you'U put on your bonuet we'U'have a walk, and buy him a collar," Poor Emma never looked at the dog, but flung-her arms iiround George's neck, and kissed him, while great big tears wero rol¬ Ung down her checks. "Oh, George," she px- claimed, "and wUl you indeed let me keep him without being jealoua or angry? I did think il waa -i cry unkind of you to be cross about a trifle, and 1 know I have not bee'n so»good as 1 ought to be ever aince, but now I feel quito Uappy, and you are my dear Georgo again." Tha young couple went out for their walk, and George be¬ gan to find that he lost noihing by conferrjrig a Utile attention upon Emma, for her extra cheer¬ fulness becarhe contagioua, and he waa happier than he had been for a rhonth. On their return lhey met Harry and hia wife, and'while the two women went on, Harry took the opportunity of telling hia shopmate "a bit of hia mind." ''I lell you what, George," said he, "you'U find it won't do to expect a wife to think of nothing else than cooking and aiitching, and to stop at home forever; they want some amusemeni, and some change aa well as we do, and I don't think it's right of us to go out to oiir clubs so often and leave them at home sitting up for us; it isn't fair, and wc can't expect 'cm to be so mighty good-tempered when we do come home; and I aay it was very stupid of you not lo let Emma keep Tiny; women that love dogs, and birds, and dumb things, are always fonder of their husbands and children than other w^omen.— You've got your fiddle and your rabbits, you know, and why shouldn't Emma have that bit ofa dogi Take my word for it, George, that a man is a great fool when he acta like a selfish master instead of a kind husband." George slightly winced under this rough truth, but cer¬ lain it is, that he laid the council up and acted upon il.
Some ihiee years paased on since those inci¬ dents occurred, and what do we see? There is tig George dancing little George after the most approved headlong fashion; and there is Emma holding up TiKY for Utile George's express de lectaiion, while the popular nur.sery theme of "Catch'er, catch'er, catch'cr," is a signal for Tiny's silken ears to be clutched at most un¬ ceremoniously by the juvenile gentleman. And now we see the qaarietis on Hampstead Heath, in ihc summer twilight, where the duodecimo Clayton makes a dozen consecutive somersets over aa many pebbles while in full pursuit of Tiny's tail.
"Why, dear me, Goorge," saya Emma, sud¬ denly, "ihia is lhe way you alwa}s went to ihe bean-feast." "I know it is," replied he; "but it always cost me a good bit of money, and I always had a headache thc next day, eo I think I'm quite as well off here with you and my boy." His young wife gives him a look which doca him more good than a pot of ale would.— "Thanks to Tiny and your broiher Harry," continues George, "I am not selfish in my pleasure as I uaed to be; I had a sort of a notion when I was first married, that you were to do every thing I wanted, and I'm not quite so sure lhat I had a notion about caring for your wish¬ es, but when I sent Tiny awoy, and found you crying up stairs ofa night, I began to talk to myself, and thought I had not been quite so kind as I ought to have been; and then Harry said something to mo, and so, you seo. I've been a better fellow ever since; now haven't I, Em¬ ma?" There ia no occasion to record Enima's reply.
Yeare havo rolled on; we could now point to George Clayton aa chiel and wealthy agent to great building contractors, andto a descendant ot Tiny,who claims especial favor in bis house¬ hold. Emma is as fond ot George as ever, and has never neglected him though he permitted her to keep a spaniel, and look her out for a holiday ramble when ho might havo been at a bean-feast.
There aro aeven young Claytons flourishin? "fast and fair,"—boya andgirls—but we observo that Georgo never permits lhat masculine do¬ mination lo exist which deforms the social jus¬ tice, and ultimate moral and mental happiness of 80 many families; he permits his daughters lo wait upon his sons, but he ia equally watchful lhat Ilia sons should wait upon his daughters. We overheard him the other day talking to his eldest boy, just turned eighteen, "George,'' soid he, "if over you marry, be sure you don't expect too much of your wife; I should havo never been aa rich and happy aa 1 am ifl had been a 'selfish master,' instead ofa 'kind hus¬ band." Theso 'simple annals' are founded on facts, no't imaginaiion ; and let every young, aye, and old married men, learn something from them.

Lau&hter.-t-A hearty latigh occasionally ia an act of wisdom ; it shakes lho cobwebe out ofa man's brain, and the hypochondria out of his riba far more effectuoUy than either cham¬ pagne or blue pills. One of the Eraperora of Japan ia said to have killed bimaelf by immode¬ rately laughing on being lold that the Ameri¬ cana were govemad without a king.
V In the la^t ni^Ver'.of the 'Christian Review,! ia^quarterly"puhliahed'fn Ne^ York,' thereTia ah, mieresling iirlicle pri lho, subject of " Spectral lilutionjt—their'eauses and Zatoj," by Di". Pond, Profeasdr-mtHo-TbeoIogical Seminary m Ban¬ gor, Me., in which he diacussea hia subject ve¬ ry fully and ably. I copy the following ct- iracts, for publication in ymir paper bopihg, that good may bo done thereby.
* Another poriion of the apiritual manifeatai tiona may be, and probably are the result of occult natural causes. That thero are po were in nature beyond what.have ever,';fiS:y,et. been investigated/DP modestWan wilf preaiime to depy*: And that some of theso powera'or for¬ ces, call:them electricity, magnetiam, or what you will-T'do occaaionaily ahow thomaelyea in the facts of biology,mesmeriBm,,paothetiam and lho :like, ia highly, probable; and the preaent indicationa ore, that all whicli ia mysterious about the apiritual writings, and rappmgs—alj that doea notresolve itself inlo mere trick—is to be accounted for in thc same way. It is. an ad¬ mitted fact, that the answers received from the rapping, board coincide, very generally,- wiih the opinions or wishes of tho mediumr or^of some one present in conaultalion wiih bim. We know a very reapectable roan who diacovered that he waa a medium, and who occasionally ex¬ perimented upon himself, upon being aaked what he. ihought of it ho replied; "If the an¬ swers are from the spirits, they must he very silly spirits,-for. lhey always answer juat aa I wish to have them,: that is, if I have any. wish about it." Anoiher medium informs us that he can produce any answer he pleases, by only .fixing his mind strongly upon it at the time. If the spirits of the dead spoke, ihey would he likely to speak out independenily,—to speak just what fAe,v thought, and not what those thought with whom tbey were conversing. On the pos¬ sible e^ccfn'c character of these spiritual mani¬ fesiaiions, we aro happy to produce the testi¬ mony ot Dr. Samuel Taylor, a respectable phy¬ sician of Peterahain, Maea., whoae article on the subject may be found in a lote number of the'Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.
Dr. T. discovered, accidentally that ba waa a medium; and ho proceeded to make experi¬ ments upon himself. Tho manifeatation, in hia caae, was not by rapping, but by writing—a much more intelligible mode of communicating with the world. On taking his pen, and hold¬ ing himself in a particular attitude, and propo¬ sing mentally some question lo the spirits, his pen would begin to oscillate his fingers, and very soon would write outon anawer, without any conacious effort of his own. He tried the experiment many timea, and always with the same reault. And what is parlicularly to bo no¬ ticed, ia, the pen. would alwaya write on an¬ swer which accorded with hia own opinions or wishes. Fore.tample: Dr. T. inquired of one of ihc spirits about the different forma of reli- gicn-: '.'I asked," saya he, "which was lhe beat religion at the some time fixing my mind firmly on the word Protestant. My hand imme¬ diately wrole Protestant. In the same manner and by the direction of the aamo spirit, my hand wrole 3Iethodist Unitarian, andl believe onoor two oihers." While in thia^'tate, Dr. T. says : I lelt a sensation Uke ihat o( a Ught galvanic current passing ihrough me. ,Sometimes ii ap¬ peared to be .a steady thrill, and sometimes il was intermittent, resembling slight shocks of olecincity,"
After numerous experiments, Dr. T. comes lo the conclnsion that the strange appearances of which he waa lhe subject were not tricka of his own, neiiher did lhey come from lhe spirit world, but wero the result of what he calls " de¬ tached vital electricity." When this conclusion had been formed in his'own mind, it occurred lo him that he would put it to the lest of the spirits themselves. "Accordingly, I asked ihem," says he, " ifthis waa thJ work of de¬ parted spirits ? Thc answer was, " No," I ask^ ed ifil was thc work of the devU ? Again the answer was " Ko." I asked if it was the efl'eci of detached vitalized electricity? The answer "Yes." So the apirila confirmed the conclu¬ sion 10 which the Docior had come, aa lhey did; in fact, all his concluaions. Allhough Dr. T- rejects the idea lhat the answers which he re¬ ceived came from ihe other world he adda beliefihai the wriibgs aro ihe wf»Tk of spirits ti:7ids greatly to thc perfection of the experiitienl since it better concentrates thc mind on the sub ject, and excites the nervoua syatem more strongly." We have thc teatimony of another medium, of the same purport with lhat of Dr. Taylor. Mr. Benjamin F. Coolcy, who had long been a believer and operator in the spirii¬ ual rappings, statea ihat hia miiid is now entire¬ ly changed.
Thia change has been brought about, he saya in consequence of " a deep and earnest study of the nature, power, and application of electri- cily, and of the susceptibility of the mina to electrical or psychological changes." These things, he tells us, will " produce the same my stcrioua and startling plienomcna, which have been produced ihroughout the counlry, and at¬ lribuied to the operationa of departed apirita.' We have now considered a class of spiritual or spectral phenomena which maybe regarded as the product of 7iatural causes. There ia noth¬ ing supernatural about any of ihem, more than there ia in the attraction of gravitation, or of the loadstone," The following are the conclu ding remarks of Dr. Pond's, article.
We closo this discussion as wo commenced it, with affirming our belief in lho existence o a spirit world, whicii may be very near ious and into which all who depart this life immedi¬ ately enter. We believe that other life to be a place, not of shadows, but of substantial rcali lies, noi of gloomy reposo and indolence, but of glowing consciousness, and of inleneo mental sensibility and activity; a place of happinesa or misery, according as the character is good or bad. We believo that spirits irom the other world, have actually appeared to men, as re¬ corded in the scriptures, and for uught wc know they may appear agoin. But if lhey do they wiU come (as thcy a ways have come) on some fitting occasion, an d for some important purpose, not lo engage in'amall talk, and reveal secrets, and gratify an idle curiosity, but on some errand worthy of iheloccasionandof God. And here as it secma to us, ia a remarkable dif¬ ference beiween tho apparolions recorded in the Scriptures, and those which are aaid to occur in modern limes. The former made no disclosures respecting that world from which they had conic. They had aeen and heard many things, but what they had aeen it was not lawful for man 10 utter, and iho worda which lhey had heard were unspeakable words- The latter, on the contrary, practice no reserve. They lell you all about the world of apirita. They go into the minutest particulars, and publish " a penny- magazine of the spiritual world." Let ua hear, then, the conclusion of ihe wholo matter : tho Bible alone, is a aafe guide in respect to the things of the other world. God has lold ua in his word all that we need lo know respecting lhat world. He haa told uS aU thathe intends wo ever sball know, until we get there. He haa lold us enough to awaken tho moat lively intereat, and the moat eameat solicitude. And what ho has Iold us, we havo on hia own infal¬ lible authority. It is to bo depended on. It ia the word of him who cannot Uo Let us then study his Holy Word, believe it, love it, and livo according to it. Let us prepare for thot world on which we are aoon to enter, and not bo vainly attempting to pry into its aecreta, or be running afler thoso who can know no more about it than wo do ourselves."
