heart was fixed on money That was tha reason ehe so often examined epindle But it was wood and would stay1 wood she eon Id not make it shins: Yss she tried to compensate Cor its inferior quality by king her sister spin tha Man os it Instead therefore of releasing her after spinning six skeins day aha made her finia' Now a remarkable cveift took place feel bound to apeak of as it ia intimately netted with oar history Martha noticed that when Criatel had completed tha ninth skein it very mi and by bnngii it wee gold hat ehe tyver dreamed that it andher sieter took good cars not to inform her Every day it was the ninth skein that was gold No matter how few or bow many were span it waa the ninth that was of immense value After a large number warn collected Martha look them to the city to cell to the goldsmith He had never eeea gold thread before bat he gave her its full price ia gold and silver coin Tbs next day he Went to the kingand told him he eoald ham queen who knew howto spin gold thread meaning Martha who had said ahe Sad span golden skeins The king wae great spendthrift aad was always ia debt to his noblemen and friends So the thought of having wife who eoald spin gold wae very exciting and attractive to him Therefore when Martha came to town again to fell her precious merehandim to the goldsmith he sent secretly to the king and Informed him that the individual of whom he had spoken was at hie store Soon the king came there followed by a concourse of attendants Me examined -tbs gold skeins flrrt and then sonde obeiesnee to Martha the old danghter He proposed triage to her which she was very glad to accept The wedding was to take puce in the palace one week hence As Martha left the king the goldsmith then whwpered in her ear that she most not forget the spindle when she leave her home for the wedding feast Of coarse she eould not forget so important matter as that Upon reaching the cottage she eould not find her sieter anywhere of which ahe was very glad for she wanted to take the epindle away without the knowledge of its owner So when she had packed np all the things ahe wished and token the spindle from under Cristd's pillow she set imt for the city to spend the remaining daya before her awrriage where ahe eoald make staple preparation for it The wedding wae followed by series of festivities ia which nil the great personages of the kingdom took part II lasted assay days and the new queen who mold spin golden thread was made the object of great adulatioa and attention She expected nothing bat happiness in the fatgre Three months having passed ly and Martha having span no gold thread of her own accord the king requested her to giro him specimen ef her wonderful powers That wss sorrowful moment Sir her for It was almost impossible to spin as many as nine skeins day the ninth alone being of gold So she made trial of all her attendants and not ode of them eould spin that number The king was greatly enraged and threatened to discard bia wife he cause aha had deceived him But determined if poesibU to hem golden skein So he had her put ia a strong castle and locked ap them with her wheel and spindle That many days passed by and Martha's bonds being worn to the quick from spinning she would throw' the spindle into the fire Bui it would not bom aad the servants always found it In tbo ashes told brought it bnek by the king's

Begimcnt gives the following account of the charge of the Bhek-UoreoQtvaliy at Bull Bon which is by for tha moat graphic and evidently correct oos yet published Commencing with the attack be says In tbs first charge npon the masked battery ia line of battle the 69th New York were in front then toe Zouaves and la the rear the 1st Michigan Rising to the top of the hill about thirty rods from the Rebels ws fired intending to fall back a little and load ae previously ordered -Just then this order was countermanded and we were ordered to rush on anlucdhd This new order was imperfectly understood and a portion fall back upon which aU did the same bat not more than two or three rods creating some disorder but ws were in no sense beck After loading wo rushed forward crowed rood deep ditto end freer descending the hill firingse we advanoed liy the time we reached the foot of the the Rebels haring fallen back men of the throe regiments were mingled together every man trying to get in front as though fighting on hie own hwk Tbo din of battle was so terrific that no orders could bo heard Wo were ia this position nearly stationary perhaps half an hour Wa then changed not to retreat bat to take ap a new position more to the right to get at those who were firing at ua from that quarter We were not followed by the enemy on the left were in thie vicinity constantly ea-fbnr and five noun though It an hour- f-t 'nr- yj Rettery of eight guns was station-' ed on the right of oar division and was teksn by the Rebels A portion of al three of the regiments without any orders rushed pnata enuusly to retake the buttery which was done How was sores hand-to-hand The Factng again to the Rebels I saw them falling hack trying to draw away gun into which I had mysrtf driven spike bat era they had got many rods oar bullets had mads auto hnvoe at they abandoned it Iu a few momenta I a two Rebels advancing to the gun one with a rifie and qne with a nag which he waa ia the net of plat the gun The man standing next to the Rebel rifleman drew npon each other and both fell at the same moment killed ae I believe by each other At the earns time I took deliberate aim at the flag-bearer and he feU an 1 fired By the time I had reloaded another Rebel ia seising the flag and be too fell as 1 fired Two more fell at this point in similar manner as feet as I eoald load I was some fifteen rode distant and nearer the gun then most of comrades though in other parts of the line others were in advance At this moment the Black-Hone Cavalry ide its appearance obliquely from the right all the while the masked battery as well i try was pouring upon us shells canister Ae As peured 600 etroag upon the full gallop' carbine in hand our firing for the moment mostly ceased each man reserving hie charge to receive them with suitable honure The tames of the cavalry were all blacker gray Their front showed line of perhaps ten rods Oar firs was reserved until the left1 of their front was within fire or six rods of our right when we poured continuous Tolly at them killing most of the bones in front am) many on their aides As they fell pitching their riders to the ground those following fail them and from ear ballets and in five Inntoa we had sent' them probably foot boo-sand pills and they lay piled nponeaeh other mangled kicking struggling dying mass of men and tames a sight of horror to which no description eoald do justice Oar aim was mostly hones and I doubt aot many more of the men were killed by the hones than by our bullets The story that all this fighting was done by the Zouaves is false The throe regiments were mingled together all fought equally well I hero speak what I know for I was uiractly in front of the cavalry and nearly in the center It wee the gqperal ojnion that not over half pad alive though there of the cavalry ty hare been more Daring thie brief -hut eh tevy and large bodies of infantry pouring their firs into our ranks and our were falling on

raised by the Rebels twenty or thirty rode in our front and oar fire slackened Immediately the white fell end our adore were raised We knew not what to make ofit at the moment Manch having been struck down I and two i bock and on returning nnlesa they were oboat to surrender but sap-posed afterward tbo design was to lure us Into of their was to lure more deadly ronpof their batteries Iu few minutes the Rebel flag only was again flying in their place The eon test raged for a time longer- when the firing of the Rebels ceased and we supposed the victory was ours The Rebels were seen to fall hack
