the most experience, that the cost of this fuel is Foy
wed by the improved quality or the iron. The cal
cination of the less dense kinds of anthracite,, and of
4ose which exhibit a cubical fracture, may be effect
ed by the bent remaining ion cupola after a few
days work. Fur instance, when the furnace is clean
ed out, and cooled to a ri:d heat, it may be filled one
third full of raw anthracite, which will ,thereby be
calcined sufficiently fur the changes of Iron next day.
But the most approved method of using stcae coal
for re-melting is to apply the hot blast, vhichit must
be observed, has contrary
.effeet upon iron when
worked with coke ; for tt,is a fact, that the heated
blast, in conjunction with anthracite, increases the
toughness and malleability orthe metal. The most
economical Mode hitbert) salopted of .heating the
blast in culkil is, is 14 cause :the pipes belonging ti
earth twyere to pass twice over the flame; and it is
important to have the twyeres made wider than they

For burning lime, the cuim or stnaH of anthracite
ties been used for year:; and about 10 cwt of it is
equal to 30 cwt. of biturttious coal; and since the

be used in all thickly-populated distncts where lime
burning is indispensable. For the same rea s on,
those lofty and expensive chimneys, which are re
quired for carrying up.to p..sufficient height the ve

necessary where anthracite coal is used. The great

A LEGEND OF THE ,HARTZ.
What ve these
Chat look not like the inhabitants o' the earth,
And yet are on it l _ hiscarra.
As the chivalrous Hannah Hernandorff was one
day riding in the Hartz Forest, a tremendous crash
in the thickets caused his horse to swerve from its
course, and make way for • boar which, bleeding
from wounds and foaming with rage, rushed forth,
followed at full speed by s weaponless rider., The
boar, weak from lima of blood, suddenly halioed in
the thick brushwood which concealed a frour view,
end the horse, unconscious of its proximitito tb •
enraged brute, arms in contact with him, fell. and
threw thi,rider with considerable violence. The
bow, unable to make his escape.rushed at the fallen
steed and inflicted several severe wounds on it; and

It is time our animosity should end. Why pro
long the useless quarrel ? Let the long-lived hos
tility that hsesubsisted between our houses be for

“ Be it so, then ; thon hut a right to impose
terms,-” said the Baron, reluotanly % extending his
hand towards Hernandrott.
The foes front birth then proceeded to the castle.
.fiernandroff wail overjoyed beyond measure at what
he deemed the fortunate - circumstance which was to
unite in,, terms of friendship two families that had
.hitherto lived in open rivalry and hostility almost
vvithin bowshot of each Other.' The Baron felt dif
ferently:: the idea of being under an obligation to
the Hernandioff stung him ; but hedisguised all ad
verse feeling, and seemed to warm as the wine cir
culated, They drank deeply ; and at length the
Baron proposed
A full cup to the lady of Lindenhansen !"
The toast was in honor of the intended brit]; of
Hirnaudroff; but before the chalice was at the ear
on's lips, his eyes rested on an antique suit of richly
ornamented chain mail, and a sword and shield
which, with other warlike trophies, bung suspended.
from the roof; the sight of them kindled anew the
ancestral strife m his bosom ; and in one of those
paroxysms of rage to which he was so liable, and
which were but the outbreaks of the deliberate mal
ice of his cooler moments, he exclaimed—
.. Is it thus that thou treatest a guest I Thou ask
est a soldier
. to thy banquet-board, and insultest him
by displaying the dishonored arms of his predeces
sors "
. They are not dishonored," said Elernandroff.
A royal hand conferred them on their ancestah
and although by the fortune of war he lost them, it
must ever be remembered that it was ,to signalisp
hti prowess that the royal gift was given. They
are memerials of an honourable contest when thine
and my ancestors belonged to different countries—
served different monarchs—spoke different languages
and acknowledged different faiths !"
Prove thy, proffered friendship by delivering up
thy sword and shield—they hang there but to insulin

They have hbng there for centuries ! They are

mia! "
liefniuthroff, good. fi r " stf!.ing which, the
fiaruirabraititly twat his departure.
While this scene was enacting within the castle,
a very difforent one was ena'eteil without. But tit.-
fore proceeding with our narative, it is necessary to
give some aecount of Hans Bachoffner, be wood-
man, twashost care the horses were committed. He
was about fifty4fite yeas Of, age, a stout-built, raw
brtrad-shouldered person, with a short neck,
an unusually large head, an uncouth weather-beaten
countenance, a flat nose, immense cheek-bones, elf
locks, and dark eyes with a decided , squint. A
broad belt, within which a hatchet and a pipe were
generally thrust, was bucketed round his waist.
Another belt, slung over his right shoulder, suppor
ted a basket or pannier in which the pro%ision of the
day for himself and dog were deposited; together
with a plentiful store of tobacco, without which the
life of a Bohemian would be a state of- purgatory.
A pair of huge boots, reaching far above his knees,
served to protect Mtn from the briers. We must not
forget his dog Rudolph, who was of a most forbid
ding apperance—his only companion, and sharer of
his hut. was a fine large animal, nearly as shag
gy. as the inane of a lion ; his grey muzzle indicated
advanced age—and the loss of an eye—the remain
ing.one being what is termed'a wall-eye—gave him
an' obliquity of look in unison with the askance
glance , „of his master.
The woodman, es he had been directed, with the
assistance of the groonas,. *wash;cl and dressed the
wounds of the suffering horses, which fletained him
at the Castle several hours. It was near midnight,
and the snow bad been falling fast, when, with his
dog, he sallied kgth, and imprudently ventured
homewards. The.samw had obliterated the forest
foot-paths. It was dark, and he had neither guide
nor compass. The wolves hOwled, the winds roar
ed,"the snows rushed river hiin hire the simoom of
the desert, threatening every moinent to overwhelm
him. Re feared to advance lest the next step should
plunge him into a pitfall. It was equal perilous to
retreat; doubly so to remain where he was, since
inaction would have lulled him into that deep sleep,
which during intense celd is frequently the precur
sor of a deeper one.
