.[From th« Provfdeace Journal. | TH*S. MIIiLKB OF HAM.” A miller of Harz, ou a long summer's day, Fell asleep in the shade of his mill, And dreamed of’ a sore and speedy way His coffers with riohek to fill. A creaking old wheel that his forefathers built, > . ’. • • And the Mice of a stream turned round, -For a century past bad driven the mill, And the grain for a century ground. But it happened this day that the brook was low. 1 And the noisy old wheel; stood still; . So the miller, for lack of something to do, Fell asleep in the shade of his mill. As soon as he ’woke.he at onoe began To follow the plan of his-dream, And in spite of ail that his friendß would • gay, ■ He turned the course of the stream. ~7he summer bad past, cold winter was nigh. Still me miller could grind no corn, And the neighbors who laughed at his use less work * He answered with bitter scorn. The dam was finished; but not that year, , And’the people bad ceased to go To the little mill; whose idle wheel Was buried beneath the snow. To the miller’s joy; the Spring-time came, And the torrents poured into the glen, Filling up to the brim the pond he had made, And turning the wheel again. But one night as the villagers safe at home Heard the sobs of the driving raia, The dam gave Way, and down the stream • Went the miller, the mill, and the grain. How.many a man in every land Like the miller has followed a dream, And sooner or late,'with mill and grain, Like the miller gone down the stream. A BOOK ABOUT JLAYVrEBS. Carious Stories—Judicial Blunders in England. Mr. Jeaftreson, who wrote, three or four years ago, a successful book abouc doctors, has just published another in the same vein, called “A Book About Lawyers.” It is issued in London by Hurst & Blackett.. The first tea chap ters, covering seventy pages, are grouped under the head of “The Great Seal.” Other sets of chapters gossip about “Lawyers on Horseback,” “Loves of the Lawyers,” “Costume and Toilet,” “Amateur Theatricals,” “Mirth,” &c. Mr. Jeaffreson (says the London Exam iner) has brought together.the results of much out-of-the-way reading, including some “things notgenerally known,’’and a good many anecdotes which, if they have been told before, are too good for any one to mind hearing them again. One of the best anecdotes in the first volume is this old story of WILKES AND THURLOW Like his friend John Scott, Thurlow could shed tears and be wondrous pa* thetie whenever tears could aid his elo quence. After dexterously coquetting between the queen’s and the prince’s parties in 1788, he delievered, in the House of Lords, his memorable declara tion of gratitude to and affection for the afflicted king. Having broken his ha rangue with several distinct fits of ner vous agitation, and at one point having wept copiously, he resumed the clearest melody of his sonorous voice, and con cluded with these words: ‘‘A noble vis count has, in an eloquent and energetic manner, expressed his feelings on the present melancholy situation of his Majesty—feelings rendered more poig nant from tne noble viscount’s having been in the habit of personally receiving marks of indulgence and kind ness from his suffering sovereign. My •own sorrow, my lords, is aggravated by the same cause. My debt of gratitude is indeed ample for the many favors which have been graciously conferred upon me by his Majesty; and when I forget my sovereign may my God forget me! ” As Thurlow sat down, the sensation amongst his brother peers was profound; but Liberty Wilkes, who had been an auditor of the speech, was less deeply affected. A vicious lightburned brightly in his squinting eyes, audits a more than usually diabolical sneer played upon his hideous.face, the people's friend hissed out: “God forget you! He’ll see you first.” Among the gossip of the book are the following ' ANECDOTES OE THURLOW. A solicitor had made a series of state ments in a vain endeavor to convince bis lordship of a certain person’s death. “Really my lord,” at last the solicitor exclaimed, goaded into a fury by Thur ,low’s repeated ejaculations of “That's no proof of the man’s death;” “Really, my lord, it is very hard, and it is not right that you won’t believe mp. I saw the man dead in his coffin. My lord, 1 tell you he was my Client, and he is dead.”. “No wonder,” retoried Thur low, with a grunt and a sneer, “since he was your client. Why did you not tell me that sooner? It would kill me to have such a fellow as you for my at. torney.” That this great lawyer could thus address a respectable gentleman is less astonishing when it is remembered that he once horrified a party of aris tocratic visitors at a country House by replying to a lady who pressed him to take some grapes, “Grapes, madam, grapes! Did not I say a minute ago that I had the gripes!’ Once this ungentle lawyer was fairly worsted in a verbal conflict by an Irish pavior. O a crossing the threshold of his Ormond street house one morning, the Chancellor was incensed at seeing a load of paving stones placed . before his door. Singling out the tallest of a score of Irish workmen who were repairing the tho roughfare, he poured uDon 'him one of those torrents of curses with which his most insolent speeches were usually preluded,and then told the man tomove the stones instantly. “Where shall I take them to, your honor?” the pavior inquired. PYom the Chancellor another volley of blasphemous abuse, ending with, “You lousy scoundrel, take them to hell—do you hear me?” “Have a care your honor,” answered the workman, 5. with quiet drollery, “don’t you think : now that if I took ’em to the other place your honor would be less likely to fall .over them?” .The famous Lord Kenyon is pictured as an ignorant and absurd person, and these anecdotes are told: _ JUDICIAL BLUNDERS. One day he would silence an importu nate suitor or loquacious barrister by exclaiming, ''Eat modus in rebus, or as the vernacular hath It, there must beau end pf Rll things;” on an another day he would clothe his face with the wisest of his judicial aspects, and observe, “In advancing to a conclusion on this subs THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.—PHILADELPHIA. SATURDAY DECEMBER 15.1866.-TRIPLE SHEET. ject, I am reeolvedjsfare supra antiquas mas.” When a glaring case of fraud was brought before his observation, he exclaimed, * ‘The dishonesty is manifest; in the words of an old Latin sage, appa rently - Latet-anguia in herbal’ ” to a deeply-edified grand jury he remarked in a tone of solemn pathos, “Having thus discharged your consciences, gen tlemen, you, may, retire to.your homes in peace, with the delightful conscious ness of having performed your duties well; and as your compose yourselve.- for nocturnal slumber, you may applj to yourselves the words of the heathen philosopher, "Aut Ccesar, aut nullus.” Without the assistance of Latin, some of his remarks uttered from the j udg ment-seat were very provocative of laughter. “The allegation,” he ex claimed indignantly during, the exami nation of an unsatisfactory witness, “is as far from truth as. old.Booterium from the northern Main —a line I have heard; of met .with Gud knows wheer.” On another occasion, when he repri manded an attorney for causing ;r a_need -■ less and vexatious delay in a cause; he observed in boldly metaphorical lan guage, “This is the last hair in the tail of procrastination;ahd itmiistbe plucked; out;” and he is reported to have lectured “twelve gentlemen in the box” thus: “If an individual can break doitin any of those safeguards Which the Constitution; has wisely and cautiously erected} by; poisoning the minds of the jury at a time; ; when they are called upon to decide, he will stab the administration of justice in its most vital parts.” But Kenyon’s grandest oration, was made at the. trial •of Williams for pub lishing Tom Paine’s “Age of Reason,” when; the learned judge in his summing up observed—‘.‘Christianity, from its earliest institution,met with its opposers. The professors were very soon called upon to publish their ‘Apologies' for the doctrines they had embraced; Inwhat manner they did that, and whether they* had the advantage of their adversaries; or sunk under the superiority of their argument, mankind for near two thou‘ sand years have had- the opportunity of judging. They have seen what Julian, Justin Martyr,and other apologists have written, and have been of opinion that the argument was in favor of those pub lications." Telling this story in his own way, and improving it—as he was fully justified in doing—Coleridge in the “Table Talk” assures his readers that Lord Kenyon, in his address to the jury in a trial ior blasphemy, said, “Above all, gentlemen, need I name to you the Emperor Julian, who was so celebrated for thepractice of every Christian virtue, that he was called Julian the Apostle! ” Td several later judges, as well as to Kenyon, has been attributed the memo rable juidicial address to the dishonest butler who had been convicted of steal ing large quantities of wine from hit master’s cellar. “Prisoner at the bar,” the judge is reported to have said, “you stand convicted on the most conclusive evidence of a crime of inexpressible atrocity—a crime that defiles the sacred springs of domestic confidence, and is calculated to strike alarm into the breast of every Englishman who invests largely in the-choicer vintages of Southern Eu rope. Like the serpent of old you have stung the band of your protector. For tunate in having a generous employer, you might, without dishonesty, have continued to supply your wretched wife and children with the comforts of suffi cient prosperity, and even with some of the luxuries of affluence; but dead to every claim of natural affection, and blind to your own real interest, you burst through all the restraints of religion and morality, and have for many years been feathering your nest with your mas ter's bottles.” A fair match for these is the Story of an Irish priest who rebuked his parish ioner for drunkenness, and told him that “whenever he entered an alehouse to drink, his guardian angel stood weeping at the door.” “And if he had sixpence he’d be in himself,” was Pat’s reply. Shooting Foot-Pads In California. A letter from California says many, of the highways of that States are infested by gangs of robbers who overhaul stage coaches andjrelieve the' passengers of their money, and rob every one who comes in their way. The following in cident,growing out of this state of things, is leiated:: ■ - - A quietus was given to these gentle men by a courageous man, near Danner Lake, not long ago. They had robbed the stage of its treasure. . Two men who heard of it immediately started in pur suit. In coming to a gorge, tracks of the robbers were discovered. One of the pursuers turned back to give informa tion, the other continued the pursuit, and suddenly came upon the leader of ihegang, a well-known desperado. The lobberwas protected breast high by a rock; and was in the act of pointing a re volver at our hero, when a ball from the ? latter perforated his skull, and he fell back instantly killed. i The top of the head of another of the gang was observed, just enough of it to receive a fatal blow—the blow came and he, too, fell dead. Then the third and last of the robbers was seen climbing some rocks, making an eftort to escape but he was speedily recalled -by a ball that pierced his heart. These three shots were made in the course of two minutes, the pursuer being armed with a repeat ing rifle. Some hours,afterward neigh bora to aid in the pursuit df the robbers; they rendered a good service as a coroner’s jury, rendering a suitable verdict and burying the slain—the entire transaction, robbery, pursuit, execution, action of the jury and interment, occu pying little more than half a day. These are fast people—the Californians.
