This done, ' e rushed forth to tbe outer door of i e lul l I a?4 tbo alarm. nyf snO shrinked to tho child, 9r miuter'a littlo rboy, up infant fire < bra >he only ode within sight or Mjratind ot her..

"Blots thee, boy! bless thee!" she exclaimod, in the gladness of her hearty J'ftn master arrives In time, I will offer up a taper on the altar of our blessod Lady of .the Kreutsborg, by Bonn." { ' T :-V.. ? 8he sut down on tho stone beuoh by the mill door to oaso hor ovor-exclted spirits; and sho woptj as shq: sat. at tile thoughts of hOr happy deliror fince. ?

Tho little .messenger hold on hit way unharmed, however; and ?he ?,t bough t"tcT herself that tho alarm was# false ona^ ftisod to excite her1 fears, an t overoorao hor resolution. Just, Ifwuver, as tho ohlld reached a hollow spot In tho next fluid?the ohannol of a natural drain, *then dry with tho heats of summer? ,she saw auothor ruiU-.tn start up from ' tho bed of the drain, and oatching him lu hLTarms, hasten toward the mill# In accordunce With the direction* of bj* acoomplloe. hi a moment ana por oeived hor danger, and in a moment more she formed her future plan of prooeedlfig. Betreating iuto the mill, ^ 1^,1 door ly revolved ou its uxle; tho smaller , gear turued, and oreaked, and groun od, according a* they oaiue lutoaotlon; tho mill was in full operation. J It was at Hint voryinstant that the rafllttn Diethor hud succeeded la squeezing hiui*t*if through tliu apert- , uro la tho wall, and gutting safely lodged in thy interior o( tho groat drum-whool. His dismay. howoTor, was IndoscribuOle whon he began to bo whirled about with it* rotation, and found that ail hid oft'orts to put a mop to the powerful machinery wuich net it in motion, or to extricate himself from his perilous situation, were fruitiest*. Hi* cries wore most appalling; hit ; shrieks wero truly feurfui; hi* curses and imprecations were horrible to hear. Hannchan hastened to the spot, mud aaw him caught, like the reptile aa he wai, in his own trap. It ueed not be added that the did not liberate him. She know that he wonld be more lightened than hurt, if he kept within J>i? rotatory prlsou; and she knew, al so, that unlet* he attempted to escape, thore was no danger of his falllug out of it, evsfr though he were insensible and inanimate all the while. In the meantime, the wheel went round and round with Its steady, unceasing mo tion; and round and roUnd went the ruffian along with it, steadily and un ceasingly, too. In vain did ho promise the'ttout-beartod girl to work her no harm; in vain did he implore her pity on his hapless condition; in vale did ho pray to all the powers of heaven, and adjure all the powors of darkness to his aid. She would not hear nor heod hliu; and, uuheard and unheoded of ti^em likewise, muttering curses, he was whirlod rouud aud round in the untiring whoel, until at last feeling aud perception failed him, and he saw and heard no more. He fell sense less on the bottom of the engine, but evon then his Inanimate body contin ued to be whirled round, and rouud, aud rouud, us before; the brave girl not dariug to trust to appoarance* in connection with such a villain, and be ing, thereforo, afraid to suspend the working of the uiuchiuery, or stop the' jnlli-geur uud tackle from running at their fullest spibod. A loud knocking at the door was shortly after heard, uud sue hasioued thither, it was her uittsler aud his family, nconmpaniod by snvoral of tlioir neighbors. Tho unaccustomed appearance of tho mill-sails in full swing pn the Sunday, had, as she an ticipated, attraotod their attention, and they had hastoned homo fjrom church for tho purpose of ascortainl'ng tho oau*o of . the phenomenon. The father bore his little boy in his arms; he had cut .the cords wherowlth the child was tied, but was unable to ob tain any account of the extraordinary oiroumstenoes that had ocourrod from the affrighted innooent.

The speaker of the depu* tatlon spoke a? follows: ?' )j . "Behold, we arc fape .to faoa with famine. We have neither nourishment, nor oil, nor vestments. We have no fish; we have ho vegetables. We have already sent a petition to out1. sover eign lord tjh+'Puarso^ playing ;Wm to 51ve us tnes* things, and we now ad reps the governor, in order that he may give us wherewithal to Jlvo." These faots took place on the 87th of December (tirst day of tho month of Tybi). The #onoral distribution of wheat was then evidently due to the workmen, but why it did not tako plaoe Is not known. Perhaps theindl-' vidual who should have distributed the food was pbsenU Whatever was the cause of the delay, the need was ur gent, and Hatnekin, with the priests present* either touohed with compas sion, or to prevent the affair from reaobing the ears Of the governor of the necropolis, accorded ope day's ra tions. 1 How'the workman lived in tho days following is^ot recorded in tha papyrus; but some weeks afterwards they were lu full revolt Three times1 they forcibly emerged from their quar? ters, notwithstanding the walls whlon surrounded thom and the gates whloh olosed them in.
