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.
Duo Up.—On the 22d ult ,aa Samuel Ros
was engaged in digging a post-hole on hi
farm, above Limeport, in Solebury, Bnokt
county, Pa., near the bank of the river, he

a human skull. Further- examination de
veloped a large smoking pipe, tobacco box,
