teucc:d Frederick to rebuild the mill, and to pay a large
sum of money as compensation for the injury which he I
had done. The king was- mortified ; but said io
courtiers. "/ am glad to End that just laws and upright ,!
judges exist in my kingdom." The above anecdote is
well known to every reader of the Prussian history. but
it is necessary to be related here as an introduction to
what follows. About three year ago, the present head
of the honest Miller's fatly, (his name is Frank) who
has succeeded to the posaession of his little, estate, I
ing himself, after a long struggle with lorry occasioned
by that war which ruined many a house beside hiaown, 1
involved in pecuniary dilliculties almost insurmountable,
wrote to the king of Prussia, reminding him of the refu
sal experienced by Frederick the Great at the hand ‘l l ,
his eincestor, and mating that if his maj...ty now enter
tained a similar desire to obtain possess:on of the prop-.i
city, it would be very agreeable to him in las present em
barrassed circumstances, to sell the null. the king
wrote immediately, with his own hand. the following re
ply :-- My dear neighbor, I cannot allow yon to sell
the mill ; it must remain in tour possession as long as
one member of your family exists ; for it belor.gs to the
history of Prussia. I lament, however, to hear that you
are m circumstances of embarassment ; and I therefore
send you six thousand dollars to arrange your stimm, in
the hope that this sum will be sufficient for the purpose.
Consider me always your offevionwe neighbor,
Having tarried a few days in a beautiftil vil
lage of the West. I embarked in a vessel which
was crossing one of the great lake.~`,. Three
other individuals had taken passage and the
night coming un, found us waiting for a
breeze.
About nine o'clock. as the sails were hoisted,
another passenger cute on board. When we
had cleared the harbor. he entered the cabin,
and seemed to suppose that he was :done ; for
we had all retired to our berths. The lamp
was burning dimly on the table, but it afforded
sufb"cient for ma to discover that he was
youna. Seating himself beside it, he drew 3
book from his pocket and real a few minutes.
Siider.lv, from on deck, was heard the %vice
of the captain, uttering oaths terrific beyond
des.-Inpuon. The youth arose. laid his book
on the chair, and kneeling beside it. in a low
whisper etwaged in prayer. I listened au n
lively, and though his soul seemed to burn
within bun. I could gather only an occasional
word or of a sentence. such as ••meter•"

he seemed in an ag my of spirit for these

Not a word of profanity was afterwards
heard on board the vessel. During the day.
as an opportunity presented itself. be con
versed with each sailor singly on the subject
~ t his sours salvation. and gained the heart of
all present.
After supper. he requested of the captain the
privilege of having worship in the cabin. His
.%islies were complied with, and soon all on
board, except the!.'man at the helm, were as
sembled. The captain brought out a Bible,
which he said was given him in early li(e by
his father. with a request that he would never
part with it. We listened as our friend read
.Nlatthew's account of Christ's crucifixion and
resurrection ; and then looking round upon us,
said. "He is risen—yes, Jesus lives, let us
worship him."
It was a melting scene. Knees that seldom
bowed before, now knelt at the altar of prayer
while the solemnities of eternity seemed hang
in, over us. After prayer. we went on deck
and sang a hymn. It was a happy place. a
domino Bethel. Instead of confusion and wrath,
there was a sweet peace and solemnity. We
ceased just as the setting sun was dinging upon
us his last cheering rays.
The captain, deeply afrected, went into
the cabin, lit his lamp, took his Bible, and
was engaged in reading till we had retired to
rest.
APer this, for three days, we regularly at
tended family worship, and had much interest- ;
ire conversation on various subjects. for there
was nothing in the religion of the young strati
zer to repress the cheerfulness of social inter
course. From his..familiarity with the Bible. ;
his readiness in illustrating its truths and pre
sentin, its motives ; and from his fearless. but
judicious and persevering steps, we concluded
that he was a minister
- of the gospel. From
all he saw, he gathered laurels to cast at his
Master's feet, anti in all his movements aimed
to show that eternity was not to be trifled with.
A few hours before we arrived in port we as
•ceriained that he was a mechanic.
Before we reached the wharf, the captain
came farward. and with much feeling bade him
farewell ; declared that he was resolved to
live as he 'had done no longer. His wife, he
said, was a Christian, and be meant to go and
live with her; and added... I have had minis
ters as passengers to my vessel Sabbath days,
but never before have .1 been reminded of the
family altar where my departed parents knelt."
As we left the vessel, every countenance show
ed that our friend by his decided, vet mild and
Christian faithfulness, won the gratitude of
and esteem of alt.

The Plague in Milan.
An ancient couplet, preserved for ages by
tradition. foretold that in the year 1630, the
devil would poison all Milan. Early one
morning, in April, and before the pestilence
had reached its height, the passengers were
surprised to see that all the doors in the prin.
cipal part of the city were marked with a cu
rious daub or spot, as if a sponge, filled- with
the purient matter of the sores, had been pass
ed against them. The whole population were
speedily in movement to mark the strange ap
pearance, and the greatest alarm spread rapidly.
Every means was taken to discover the perpe
trators, but in vain. At last, the ancient pro
phecy was remembered; and prayers were
offered up in all the churches that the machina
tions of the evil one might be defeated. Many
persons were of opinion that the emissaries of
foreign powers were employed to spread in
fectious poison over the city ; but by far the
greater number were convinced that the pow
ers of hell had conspired against them, and
that the infection spread by supernatural agen
cies. In the mean time, the plague increased
tearfully. Distrust and alarm took possession
of every mind. Everything was believed to
have been poisoned by the devil ; the waters
of die well, the standing corn in the fields,
and the fruit upon the trees, It was be
lieved that objects of touch were poisoned,
the walls of the houses, and the pavements
of the streets, even the very handles of the
doors.
The populace were raised to a pitch of un
governable fury. A strict watch was kept for
the devii's emissaries, and any man who want
ed to be rid of au enemy, had only to say that
he had seen him besmearing a dour with oint
ment—his fate was certain death at the hands
of the mob., An old man, upwards of eighty
years of age, a daily frequenter of the church
of St. Antonio, was seen, on rising from his
knees, to wipe with the skirt of his cloak, the
stool on which he was about to sit down. A
cry was raised immediately. that he was be
smearing the seat with poison. A mob of
women, by whom the church was crowded,
seized hold of the feeble old man, and dragged
him out by the hair of his head, with horrid
oaths and imprecations. He was trailed in this
manner, through the mire to the house of the
municipal judge, that he might be put to the
rack, and forced to tell his accomplices but he
expired on the way.
Many other victims were sacrificed to the
popular fluty. One Mora. who appears to
:lase been hallo, chemist and half a barber, was
accused of being in league with the devil to
poison ills house was surrounded,
and a number of chemical preparations were
found. 'rite poor mao asserted that they
were intended as preservatives azainst infec
tion. but some pliisicians. to whom they were
submitted, decided they were poison. Mora
was put to the rack, where for a long time he
asserted his innocence. He confessed at last,
when his courage was worn Goisia by torture,
that he was in league with the devil and foreign
powers, to poison the whole city, and that he
had anointed the doors nod infected the foun
tains of water. lie named several persons as
its accomplices - , who were apprehended and
put to a sioatiar torture. They were found
guilty and executed. Mora's house was Talent

guilt. While the public mind was filled-with

in its truth. Repeated search was made to
discover the house, but all in vain. The man
pointed out several as being it, which were
searched by the police, but the demon of the
pestilence was not to be found, nor the hall of
ghosts, nor the poisonous fountain. But the
