My friend Jameson, the lawyer, Juts fro•
quently whiled away an evening in relating
incidents which Occurred in his practice du-
ring his residence in a Western State. On one
occasion he gave a sketch of a criminal trial
in which he was employed as counsel; the
story, aslleveloped in court and completed IV
one of the parties substequently,, made so in•
delible an impression on my mind that I one
constrained to write down its leading features.
At' the sante time, I must say. that, if I had
hear I it without a voucher foritS'authenticity
I should have regarded it as the most impimba
ble of notaui: But theolmerving_reader will
member - Llmt romai•lcablo conbitleaces and
the signal triumilis of the right, called poeti
cal justice, are sometimes seen in actual life
as well as in novels.
The tale must begin.in Saxony.. Carl Proch
was an, honest farmer, who tilled n small tract.
of crown land and I hereby , supported his aged
'nether. Faithful to his duties, he had never
a thought. of discontent, but was willing. ,to!
plod on in the way father had gone before
him. Filial affection however; did not. so far
engross him as to prevent his casting admir
ing glances on the lovely •Batrine, daughter of
old Rauchen, the • miller and no wonder, for
mho mt.+ as fascinating a d amsel as over dazzled
and perplexed a bashful lover. She had ad
miration enough, for to see her was to love
her; ninny of the village youngsters had look
ed unutterable things as they mot. her at May
feasts and holidays, but up tb - this time she
received' nd poetical epistles nor. direct
propo,als and was as cheerful and heart-free
as the birds that sang around her windows.—
tier father was the traditional guardian of
Beauty, surly as the mastiff that, watchek his
sacks of flour and his hoard of thitleri ; rthil
though lie dented on his - darling' Katrine; hiq
heart to all the'world beside seemed to be only,
a chip from one of hiS old mill stones. ; When
Carl thought. of the
-severe gray eyes that shot.
snub glances at all lingering youths, the diffi
culty ofnvinnjug the pretty heiress seemed to
be quite enough, oven with a field cleat of
rivals. But two other suitors now made ad-.
vanees,• mere or less openly, and, poor_ Carl
ilionght hilaSelf 'entirely overshadowed. Ono

And When Solomon and the chief workmen
were seated, and theTatneSs'or the land dnd
the oil thereof were uet upon the table, there
joams- - one who. knocked - loudly lit the door,
and forcer), himself into the festal chain

said, "Wit ci manner,nf man art thou V

thy se'rVant desires .no bStter." -
" said Solomon, "Why ntete zon thus
ptittly and unhidden in the feait:.Where none

"Noise Ye,,my Lord; I etme rudely," re
plied tho tutu; "beeouie thy servant obliged

Then stud Solomon; "What hest thou to say,

to be
,phicked by the beard with a scourge, and
stoned to death with stones
When the Son of the forge board this ho was
in no sort dismayed; hut, advithuing to • the

said that I ant not of them, and they have said
truly. Ipm their Superior :. hofore they lived

are my servants." And he turned him around
and said to the chief of the carvers in stone:
64 Who. _made the tools with which you
carve ?"
_ And ho' aid: "The blacksmith."
And he said to the chief of the workers in.
wood:
64 Who made the tooli with which you hew
ed the trees of Lebanon, and formed them in

And he said to the 'artificer iu .gold and
•' Who makes your instruments by which
you work beautiful things for my Lord, tho
