IJ. Q. SAXX THE PRINTER-FIEND. The night was dark—and not a star Peeped through the gathering gloom; And silence brooded o'er the type In the composing room. The printers had to supper gone, And vacant were their places, When through the door a villain crept, And stole Dick Johnson's spaces ! 0, foulest wrong beneath the sun ! 0, deepest of disgraces ! The darkest crime that can be done Is that of stealing spaces. When the forgiving angel's pen All other sin erases, Alone, untouched, shall still remain The sin of stealing spaces. Dick went to "lunch," and left his case Filled—running o'er—with letter, And thought he would return again When copy should get fatter. When he came bask he took his place Again before his oases— You should have seen his attitude When he beheld his spaces! It Was no time for charity, Cr other Christian graces; Ile wildly cried—" I'll dot the eyes Of him who stole my spaces!" The Fiend still lives and walks the earth, And so must walk forever! He can not die—a wretch like him— For rest awaits him never ! And printers, for long years to come, Will tremble at their cases, Well knowing that his spirit still Is fond of stealing spaces ! THE TATTOOED CHEEK. BY HARTZELL COPE. My neighbors, the doctor, the squire, the carpenter from over the way, and two or three more, were met at my house. We had formed a Married Men's Club, but in stead of meeting at a tavern, we assembled at eaoh other's houses, where we smoked the curtains to such an extent that I often wondered they did not color like pipes ; but our wives did not complain, for the in fluence of our homes kept our virtues sweet, though we scented the hangings. We had been talking of birth-marks ; about those strawberries on the left arm, whioh according to bye-gone. plays and romances, served as such indubitable evi dence of the noble origin of the bearers, and which helped to restore so many wronged heirs to their titles and posses sions in the fifth act or last chapter ; and we discussed those remarkable moles' who were to sage papas incontestable proofs that the genteel comedy men were chips off their old blocks—and led to the invitation, Come to my arms ! you are— you are, indeed, my son !' and then to the heroine's stepping sheepishly from the L. U. E.—the union of hands—tableau in oentre—e c., etc., etc., all of which are now huddled away in memory-corners, and are only brought to the light of day ag like the costumes of our grandmothers and grandfathers from worm-eaten chests in dirty attics, for the amusement of the new generation and our wonder, laughter and pity. The doctor confessed that when he was a boy and his fancy was panipered with the romances of the time, he would daily make a searching investigation of his physique for a strawberry or mole, and that, baying found one of the latter, he, from that day forth, for. several months, cherished the belief that he was of noble descent, and that if the truth were known, the kind couple who claimed him for their son, were only his foster parents, and that some day a stranger would appall., who would claim him as the actor of some ducal house at least, place a coronet on his brow and. carry him oft in triumph. He told the story to his schoolmates and became an object of mysterious interest to them for some time. He was, however, partially cured of his fancy by a tremendous whip ping given him by his father, whom he had ventured to disobey when his princely blood was up. This, he thought, at' the time, very unkind in the whipper, for he had intended to be very good to his-foster father and mother when the noble stranger should appear. But the . noble stranger never did appear. But the romantic de lusion made a doctor of the boy—it led to his reading scientific books on birth-marks and kindred subjects, and. ended in his be coming an excellent man of science, as well as one possessed of the largest charity for the -wild poetic fancielt of boys. His interest in these marks had never died out, and so on this occasion he said to-me: By the way, you are a Pennsylvanian, I believe. Now, I've always had some curiosity about that cross of blue spots on your wife's cheek. It isn't the custom to tattoo in your State, is it V Ah ! you've remarked that, have you I' said L g Well, it ought not to be there, for I've kissed that spot every day these twenty years, but it won't wear away it seems. Kissing appears to do no good. g A scilution of one grain of lunar caustic in ten grains of water—' interrupted the doctor. No, thank you for tle prescription, ha I'd rather leave it there. In fact, I regard it in the light of the signature of a witness to our betrothal—so to speak—Fate, His X Mark. • • Is it a story 7 , quoth the, Squire, fidget ting in his chair. Something like one,' said I. Then just wait till I fill, a pipe,' and he picked oat the biggest on the shelf, and packed it tightly so as not to interrupt the narration which he expected. All ready ?' 6 Ready,' said a thick cloud of smoke to the right of me, and I straightway began to address that cloud. If you have ever journeyed in the val ley of the Lehigh, in Pennsylvania, you will have sometimes oome upon a little rudely constructed building, with a dam and water-wheel beside it, bat which you have been very sure was neither grist, saw nor oil mill ; bat which, if a native of the country, you would have known at once as one for the manufacture of powder. There were many of them in years gone by in the valley. The Revolutionary war had fostered the manufacture of gunpowder so far inland and safe from the forays of the enemy. Subsequent to the war, however, heavy capitalists in other parts of the country had undertaken the manufacture of the finer sorts, and our Lehigh mills confined themselves to the making of blasting powder, for which they found a market in Philadelphia and at the neigh boring mines and quarries. Each mill was generally worked by its owner and two or three hands, who labored indifferently at farming, during ploughing or harvesting seasons, in the mill or in driving the heavy teams with their farm produce and powder to Philadelphia. It was in one of these mills that, twenty one years ago, at the age of twenty, I was employed. It was owned by the father of Mary, who is now my wife. One very warm day, just after harvest, my master and his wife, with his men and three heavy teams, started to Philadelphia, with a batch of powder that had just been finished, and; Nrm produce.. That was the mode in thosedays. The road then was often white with the canvas coverings of the heavy wagons ; the teams consisted of four or six superb horses, the leaders of which carried bells, suspended in a bow at the top of their collars, which gave out a measured jangling at every step; the drivers were seated postillion-like, on the nigh-wheel horses, and looked knowing and jaunty— the effect of their own trips. The em ployers' wives were seated in state in the forward part of the huge wagons, on grain sacks, covered with home-made quilts. And to complete the picture, there was the huge half mastiffs, trotting seriously and monotonously under a precise spot be neath the rear of the wagon, from which nothing could lure them, except the exhila rating prospect of a combat by the road side, with do - tgorthy of their prowess— for small dogs Waited only their contempt, which to the keen observer of canine nature, was of the most withering descrip tion. All this gave a poetic aspect, a life and gaiety to the road then, which have disappeared before the locomotive whistle and the canal boat horn of to-day. I had been left with Mary and her grandmother, an old woman of eighty, and Mary's little brother, aged three. There was no work in the mill for me to do, ex— cept to pack some three hundred pounds of powder in kegs for a neighboring quarry owner, who was to call for it that.afternoon. This I had completed, and then proceeded to patch the mill roof, the shingles of which had become rotten arch lot in the rain. It was about three in die afternoon—l had been working away, in an absorbed man ner, so that I hardly' noticed any change in the aspect of the sky, and as a flash of lightning came, followed by a few drops of rain, I was a little surprised, but did not hurry myself very much to get to the other end of the roof, where my ladder was, the ascent being from the outside—when a more vivid flash and a sharp quick crash followed, and I knew no more. The rest of the story of course comes from my wife. When she heard the report and saw the flash, she started up and looked toward the mill, expecting my return, but not seeing me, thought I had taken refuge in the mill. The lightning was still playing fiercely, and might strike it, and there were three hun dred pounds of powder there ! She knew that the lightning had struck somewhere, but there were no signs visible as to the precise spot, and it is easy to be mistaken in regard to electrical phenomena. The crash sometimes seems at your very feet, when the fluid has taken effect a quarter of a mile or even farther away. But there was no safety in delay. The thought struck her that I was remaining with fool hardy confidence for the rain to stop, so that I could come in dry. The thought made her half angry, but she resolved that my imprudence should not bring_ me to harm if she could help it. Seizing an old umbrella that, like all old umbrellas, was never lost and always in the way, she threw her dress over her head after the manner of rustic women, and made a run for the mill. The path towards it was slightly curved, and in going along it she caught a glimpse of the end of the building at which I was. Good Heavens ! what a sickening sensation was hers, when she saw an arm dangling limp over the edge of the roof, and the rain trickling in a stream from the fingers. The lightning must have struck and killed me there was her first thought. She would have fainted, but the reflection came as as quick as the flashes that lighting up her pale, heroic face, that if I were struck the mill must be so, too, and if there—if there should be fi re in the mill ! Possibly I might not be dead—people were often only struck senseless, and if I could be saved I should be. Another moment she was in the dairy—called in those regions the springhouse'—seized two large milk pails that had been left fall of the morning's milk for some domestic reason, and rushed back to the mill. She knew where the powder was kept —it was the end farthest= away from me, and she hoped that if there' was any fire it would be at a point remote from the kegs. But lightning is as eccen tric as it is potent. Sometimes it will' set a huge building a-blaze in an instant —sometimes it kills and stuns all within a house, and leaves scarce any other trace of its visit. At other times it apparently delights in knocking furniture.and build ings into toothpicks, but touches no crea ture, anWsomistimee it leaves merely a small flame behind it, as a sort of card after its oall. g rdid,something like the latter in this case, only that jixstead of marching. straight " THAT COUNTRY IB Mill MOOT PRORPIROUS WHIRR LABOR .

LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1861. down from my stunned body on the roof, it bad taken a curved _direction along the side of the mill, and set a-blaze the other end of it. Or perhaps it was the reverse —1 now think it was — t he lightning Struck the end farthest from me. I was stunned by the concussion. When Mary bidet in at the'door, she saw the fire within about eight feet of the powder, and making rap id headway. The two buckets of milk would no more have sufficed to extinguish the flames than would a half pint of the same material. The kegs weighed a hun dred sounds each. Her first thought was to roll them out, but while she was rolling one, the fire might have reached the other. The dry wood began to crackle and to give off sparks. In a moment her resolution was taken. I must remark here that when she had gone to the spring -house, she had deliberately shut the umbrella, quite out of mere habit. Seeing what she had done, she'smiled bitterly at herself for wasting so much time in that operation ; and then, with a curious contradiction of herself, tucked it under her arm because '‘ it might be of use, and it wouldn't hinder to take it at any rate' So she had the umbrella with her. First she placed herself between the fire and the powder—then she opened the wet umbrella over the kegs—then she untied her apron, dipped it in one of the buckets of milk, and laid it over the two kegs farthest from the fire—then she slow ly, and with her fingers, pulled out the plug nearest the flames, and holding the umbrella over it with one hand, with the other she poured in the milk until she thought it was sufficiently saturated to be harmless for the present. So she did with the two others. But what a time did that seem, while the milk was slowly sinking, down through the gummy powder. ! Once when the plug of the last one refused to yield to her weak fingers, she was on the point of despair, when with sudden inspi ration she put own her month and pulled it out with her teeth. 'The work was done, but the fire was gaining very rapidly—the interior work was all so dry and rotten.— She took a glance at it—then at the pow der—made an accurate calculation as to the time it would take to roll out the kegs now before the fire could reach me. Then seizing each one separately, roll it out of the door, for she was not certain but that if it remained in the fire it might do mis chief still, as the heat dried it. She got it all out on the greensward, and then mounted the ladder for me. The roof was not steep, and not more than twenty feet from the ground. She could not take me down the ladder—so she rolled me nearly to the edge of the roof—grasped me with her right hand by the collar, whioh, thanks to its linsey-woolsey toughness, was suffi cient for the purpose—held on to the roof , stoutly with her left hand, and then pushed ' me over with her foot. That little right hand held me dangling a moment, and then dropped me softly on the sward be low ! I was saved. She came down—the fire by this time had reached the end of the building near which I was lying.— Mary stooped to pick me up ; when a little volume of blue smoke puffed out from a crack, and the flame licked her face. It was only a few grains of powder that had got into a crack, and it didn't hurt at the time, but when it healed it left the blue cross you now see. A child's wagon was standing near, and into this Mary cram med me—how, she hardly recollects her self—and wheeled me away. It was at this moment that Mary began to feel cer tain that I was dead. She thought that if living, the shock of the fall must have revived me. She began to tremble, and her fortitude was giving way when I came to. I awoke with a feeling precisely sim ilar to that in a limb When, in common speech, we say it has been asleep' The sensation may be agreeable when slight and when confined to a single member ; but in my case, affecting, it appeared, every atom of my body, even to my brain and tongue, it was torture. lat first saw myself conveyed by Mary, in the wagon, with astonishment, but couldn't ask what it meant. Then the cramped position be came wearisome, and then all at once I found speech, and called out, as if intoxi cated : Warry marraere, Mary which was meant to mean ' What's the matter here Mary She turned toward me at the sound of my voice, gave a gasp and then burst into tears. She had time for them then. Her work was done. I was up in a moment, and looked around half vacant ly for an explanation. A few drops of rain were falling still, and the rotten old mill was in full blaze. I turned in horror to Mary. g The powder 1' g Safe P s I asked no further questions, but hur ried her to the house to dress herself, and then back to watch the fire and prevent its doing any further mischief with its sparks. Half a dozen neighbors came riding at full speed up near the house, but turned about again when they saw it was the mill that was burning. The crazy old thing was consumed to the ground. The quarryman drove up toward evening, with his wagon, but conoluded he would not take his powder then. The grandmother had dozed away quietly during the whole time, with the child in her lap, and did not even suspect that there was anything remarkable going on till the ashes of the mill had been already bleached in the August rain ! Mary's father came home three days after and forgave us for burning his mill, while he was away, when he had heard the particulars. You may imagine that I did not hold Miss Mary in light estimation after this, though I had been given a kingdom, to o it; 1 never could manifest my senti-. ments toward her. Bat one evening, months after, a city cousin had induced Mary, much against her will, to tell the story. She did it very modestly, for r, wretched eaves-dropper, was just on the opposite side of a cherry-hedge and could hear, every. word. Said city Aousin 4 What courage ~ you. 'must have had, Mary; why its like Flora Mao Donald, or Joan of Arc, or Grace Darling; or some of those' " I am no scholar and don't know about them,' said, Mary; but I don't, think I could have done it if 7te hadn't been. on the roof !' Some time after. this, I must do my self the justice to say, that Mary and he' who had.been on the roof, understood each other, and on a. bright' day, exaotly one year after the burning of the mill,l pledged myself before our grey haired parson, to devote the life she had saved, to her service. I hope I have faithfully kept my promise. The story was: done. My guests were about tOdepait, and were in the hall rea dy to go..Juit then my wife tripped down stairs, to,bid them g good night.' They all looked at the Tattooed Cheek, intl, I dare say, Mary was shocked at the tender way in whicb each of those married men pressed her hand that evening. I know, too, that every man-jack of them longed to kiss the blue blemish on her face. Well, they might ham* done it, for aught I should have-eared, if she'd permitted it. At any rate, they all thought better of their own wives, for the coolness, courage and devo tion of one of the same sex.

A GERMAN LEGEND There was once a poor, but' very honest, contented, and merry kind of a man in the village of Tilleda, who happened to be giv ing a christening feast, for about the eighth time, to some of his neighbors. Desirous of showing all respect to the party at the christening, he set before them the best country wine he possessed, which, being quickly dispatched, his guests seem ed to be looking for a little more. ' Go then !' said the father to his eldest child, a girl about sixteen years old, go and bring us some better wine from the oellar. From what cellar, father V inquired the daughter. What cellar, child V repeated her father, merely in jest ; 6 why the great wine cellar belonging to the knights upon the Kyflhausen. With perfect simplicity the young maiden took a firkin in one hand and pro ceeded toward the mountain. About middle way, seated in an old and deserted path leading down toward the spot, sh found an old housekeeper, dressed in singular, quaint old fashion, with a large bunch of keys hanging at her side. The young woman paused, not a little surprised at the sight ; but the , old lady inquired of her very kindly whether she had not come to fetch wine from the knights' cellar. Yes,' replied the timid girl, but I have got no money.' Come with me,' said the old house keeper ; you shall have it for nothing, and better wine than your father ever bought in his life. They both then proceeded along an old deserted road, the old lady inquiring very particularly, by - the way what was the appearance of things then in Tilleda—who was alive, and who was dead. 6 Once,' said she, I was as young and pretty as thou art, before I was kidnapped anti buried under ground by the knights,or, rather knight-riders, who stole me away from the very house which now belongs to thy father. Shortly before this, they also seized four young ladies of theie parts, who were often afterwards seen about here on their caparisoned steeds. They were en trapped.and carried off in open day by these mountain knights, as they were coming from church at Kelba. They made me, as I grew older, into the housekeeper, and entrusted me with the keys of the cellar, which you see, I still wear.' By this time they had reached the cellar door, which the old housekeeper unlocked. It was well laid out with rows of vats and butts. Most of them were either quite, or more than half, full, and broaching one of them with great dexterity, she took the little firkin and filled it up to the brim. There,' she said, take that to your father ; and whenever he may happen to be giving a treat, you may come again ; only see that you tell no one, besides your father, where you have it from. And, moreover, take heed that you sell none of it, nor give it away, for in neither case will it be worth anything at all. If any ventures hither to obtain wine for sale, let him be warned ; his last bread has baked—now go !' Unluckily, just opposite to them lived the landlord of the village inn, who dealt as largely as he could in adulterated spirits. He, among others, had also a taste of the knights' wine. My friend, you might mix this with ten times its body of water, and sell it for good wine still. Where can you coutriVe to get it from He resolved to watch ; and he followed the daughter as she went,for about the four teenth time, with her little firkin, toward the Kyflhausen hill. He hid himself, and saw her come in the exact way from the old cellar, with her firkin quite full, shortly afterwards. Accordingly, next evening, he set out himself, having first rolled into a little cart one of the largest empty barrels he could find, intending to fill it with the same precious kind of liquor. He thought it would be easy to convey it down hill ; and he made a vow to return every night until the cellar became emty. As he ap proached the spot where he had marked the path the day before, the sky suddenly began to grow dark and lowering. The wind rose, and whistled portentously of the gathering rain, which soon fell in torrnts. The tempest carried him and his barrel from one side of the road to the other. At last down the hill he went, and continued to fall, deeper and deeper ' until he finally found himself lodged inaburial vault. Here appeared an awful procession before his eyes—a regular funeral, with a bier hung with black, and his wife and four neighbors, whom he recognized easily enough by their gait and garments. followed in his wake. At this sight he very naturally fainted away ; and on recovering some hours afterwards, he still found himself in the dimly lighted vault, and heard the old familiar steeple-bells of Tilleda striking twelve. Now he knew that-nt was 4heb witching hour, that he was there lying under the church and the burial ground of the village, in a gloomy vault. He was certainly more dead than alive, and scarcely ventured to breathe. But see! a monk now approaches him slowly doin the: • narrow steps, opens the door, and in 'perfect silence puts some money into his hand, and then taking him up in his arms, he laid him down at the foot of the mountain. It was a cold, frosty night. By degrees, the good host came a little to himself, and crept, without either wine casks, as far as home. It struck one just as he -reached it ; -and he felt himself So unwell, that he' must take to his. bed. In -the, cents° of three days he died, and the money which he had brought houte,.giVen hlw by. the ghostly„menk, was _ just sufficient to defray all his' fUneral ex penses ; his wife and the four neighbors, as he had seen them, following him .to the grave.

WASHINGTON AND THE CORPORAL.-- During-the American Revolution, it is said, the commander of a little squad was giving orders to•those under him, relative to a log of timber which they were endeavoring to raise up to the top of some military works they were repairing. The, timber went up with difficulty, and on this account the voice of the little man was often heard, in regular vooiferations— Heave away! there she goes! heave ho !' An officer, not in military costume, was passing, and asked the commander why he did not take hold and render a little aid. The latter, astonished, turning round with all the pomp of an emperor, said, Sir, I am a corporal !' You are, are you replied the officer, I was not aware of that ; and taking off his hat and bowing, the officer said, ' 1 ask your pardon, Mr. Corporal,' and then dis-, mounted and lifted till the sweat stood in drops on his forehead. When the work was finished, turning to the commander, he said, 'Mr. Corporal, when you have another such job, and have not men enough, send for your commander in -chief, and I will come and help you a second time.' The corporal was thunderstruck ! It was Washington who thus addressed him ! llNAramimr.—A Scotch parson, in his prayer said : Lord, bless the grand council, the parliament, and grant that they may hang together.' A country fellow standing by, replied: Yes, sir, with all my heart, and the sooner thel better—and I am sure it is the prayer of all good people. But, friends said the parson, I don't mean as that fellow does, but pray that they may all hang together in accord and concord.'
