Thi Burgomaster'. Daughter A Xatonie Legend. It wag in the afternoon of a blazing (ummer'g day ; the little village of Ithense, en the Rhine, with it. ancient tree, and picturesque habitation., lay panting aad parching beneath a tcorching inn. Not a breath of air wag itirring, and the tteer and the steed stood motionless in the shallow waters of the village pool. Hans Owertler, a rich burgomaster, after lend ing beedfnl ears to some communication from one ef his associates, stalked through the blinding heat of the meadow, and leaped the rivulet that bisected it, with a strength and agility which might pat to shame the efforts of many some twenty years younger. Muttering to himself several detached sentences, he continued on his course nntil he arrived at an elevated spct, which commanded a view of a long, narrow, grass grown lane, where the woodbine hung in per fumed clutters upon the maple and brieay. There he paused, remaining mute and motionless for the space of several min utes, during which time bis eyes were directed toward the lane in question. Presently a change came over bis features, which all at once seemed to darken with the darkness of a curse, la the distance he descried his daugh ter, who was not alone, bbe had for her companion a young man of lofty stature, whose garb at once declared hi m to beloog to the Order of the Knights Templar. "I cannot, will not, believe it I" ex claimed Cwertler; "albeit my own eyes are witness of the fact. My daughter, my own child, to give secret meetings to one of that accursed order. It i mon strous thankless, shameless girl I" With these words bis breast torn by a host of conflicting emotions he has tened from the spot Later in the day Illek, the burgo master's daughter, was seated in her own private bewer, in ber father's chateau; ber soft, white arm supported her cbeek; and by that dubious light, half sunshine and half gloom, it would bave been no diScalt matter to divine her thoughts. She was thinking ef ber lover, whom she bad parted with bat a few hours pre vious. Her reverie was suddenly disturbed by the unlooked-for appearance of her father. Impetuoos and cholerio by nature, Owertler found it impossible, under the present cirenmstances, to smother his rising wrath, which was but too plainly depicted on his countenance. He closed and fastened the narrow arched door after be bad entered the apartment, and drew over it the gandy tapestry. Then he paused, not very well knowing how to open the subject which lay so near his heart. His daughter attempted to rise on his entrance; but upon ob.erving his coun tenance, which had grown as dark as night, she sat down trembling. "It appears," said the burgomaster in a tone of irony, "that the. afternoon walks are not without a purpose. Illek Owertler has a companion occasionally I Answer me, girl is this not so 7" Illek'. countenance became suddenly suffused with a deep crimeoa, as she said in a low tone of voice, " Yon would not wish me to speak falsely f ' " Thou hast never yet done so, and it it too late to begin now," he answered querulously. "Well, then, dear father, I will not deny if. Be sot angered with nae.' " Call me not dear I" exclaimed Owert ler ia a tone of fury. "I shall never be dear again, thoa wanton, shameless thing I This very day I have myself been witness of thy treachery." "I do not deserve these epithet, and cannot, in any way account for this ex cess of anger and ankindness." " Who ws he yon had for a companion in the lane T" "One who, not any months ago, saved my life in the forest he who res MEMPHIS. TENNESSEE. FRIDAY EVENING. JANUARY 22, 1869.

He may, perchance, hope to obtain the hand of the fair damsel he rescued so opportunely. Bat never no, never, while I live, shall this come to past I I twear by " Ub, father I interrupted Illek, plac ing ber soft, white hand on bis shoulder; " for my sake for my dead mother's sake do not make any rash vow I Hear me pity and pardon me I I love Hilde shiem, the Templar." Hans Owertler reeled back, as if he bad received his death wound. His countenance became livid with fury, and for a brief space of time he remained stupefied and speeohless, staring at the speaker with nndisguised dismay. "Infamous, worthless girl I" be at length ejaculated. "Tbis to my facet What I love a Knight Templar I You must be mad, or possessed by the Evil Out I Dost thou know that thy father, in common with all right-thinking Chria tian people, it at deadly war with the whole order? " Mercy on me, more't the pity." mur mured Illek, not knowing very well what she was saying, or that by her last words, she was but adding fuel to the fire. " More', the pity ? Dost thou dare to defend such a scandalous such an in famous body of men, thoa artful, wanton thing?" exclaimed the burgomaster, in a paroxysm of rage. Illek'. naturally high spirit, doubly armsd by long habits of deference, rose at these words. " Wanton I" she reiterated, and then, after a pause, added in a reproachful tone of voice, " Father, your own hon orable heart, and your memory of her who bore me, ought to bave strangled that calumny ere it saw the light Artful I If to love a brave and honorable gentleman, and yet refuse bis hand from a sense of duty only, he artful why, then, indeed I plead guilty to the charge." " Love I" exclaimed the burgomaster in a half smothered vaice of concentra ted rage. "Yes," returned his daughter quickly. "Artful I will be no longer. Listen, father, I openly declare that baring a daughter's duty above all the world, I love, and will love to my life's end the man who saved my life the high minded, valiant Hilde sheiml" "Oh, oh I" groaned the unhappy bur gomaster, covering bis face with his bands and sinking into a mas.ive carved ebonv chair, " that I should live to bear this." His voice faltered, for emotion choked his ntterance. " Father, dear father, forgive me I" said Illek, bending over her sire with all a good daughter's love and devotion. "You will pardon you poor, petted, way ward, spoiled child I" "Let these Knights Templar hence forth be to tbse aa the roaming wolf at the evening fall as the ringed adder basking in the noonday sun I Shan them, Illek I Remove the deadening weight that presses on thy father's heart. Only say that my hatreds are thy hatreds, my affections thy affections. But I see I ask too much ot thee I" said the speaker in an altered tone, looking in his daughter's face and noticing its expression. " Too mach, indeed," she repeated.! " Let me put my request in another form. . Swear to me that you will never give secret meetings to this man this name seems to blister my tongue Hil deshiem I Come, you will promise me ?" " Oh, press tb. question no further; I dare not promise. " Dare not I" he iterated ia a voice of concentrated passion. "And yet yon dare refuse." He bounded frem his chair, with all the mad brute in bis nature unfettered, and exclaimed, as he stood in the middle of the apartment, " Hear me, girl I I sol emnly swear, that if in two hours thy stubborn purpose melts not, to devise tome scheme to sompel you do you un derstand compel you to cast aside thi. odious and detested Templar. We must exorcise the evil demon that has inspired thi. fatal passion." With these words he strode out of the room. Illek followed him with her eyes, and long was ber gaze directed to the doorway by which hersirehad so sternly departed, although nothing but the closed tapestry met her piteous, despairing look. The interview between father and daughter was at an end. Blinding tears gushed into the eyes of the latter the harsh and angry voice of ber parent was still ringing; in her ears. The sunset of this eventful day was succeeded by hoarse and wild gales, that seemed shrieking over the smooth meadows in the rear of the burgomaster's residence. e e e e e e Hans Gwertler most cordially hated the Templars; he had carried bis vindic tive spirit so far ss to bind himself by aa oath to do all in his power to exterminate them. It was welcome news to him, therefore, when it became generally known that the Archbishop of Mayence had received orders to destroy the Knigbts of the order ia his diocese. At Gwertler's suggestion, the haughty prelate agreed to make a beginning with the unfortunate twelve who were in occu pation of Lahoeck Castle. ActtJe measures were at ooce deter mines upon. A strong division of the Archbishop's troops nnexpectedly sur rounded the fortress, aod summoned the twelve immured knights to surrender. In answer to this the Templars resolutely refused to deliver themselves up into the hands of their enemies- Mindful of the fate of their ill-itarred brethren, they at once prepared the castle for a vigorous defense, having agreed, by common con sent, to sell their lives as dearly as pos sible. The beiieiinr cartv were numerically strong a regular siege was begun, and followed p with mach ceal. Opposed to the repeated assaults ot a superior force, tho Templars had only the hopeless conviction that, with all their valor, nothing but death awaited them. Nevertheless, they were resolute, and, indeed, it might be said desperate from the very nature of their situation. They opposed the numerous enemy with indomitable courage; and numbers of tho Archbishop's soldiers, struck with great stones, or riddled with arrows, sank to the earth never to rise again. The obstinate nature of the resistance on the part of the besieged served to in flame with rage the attacking party, who were along with shame that twelve knigbts should be able to successfully defy them. Preparations were made for a general assault, which was artfully planned and cleverly oarried out Favored by the darkness of the night, the Archbishop's troops surronnded the castle on every side; and although the heroio Templars performed incredible acts of valor, their nnmbor was much too small to admit of their repelling the vigorous assaults of their enemies. They found it utterly impossible to withstand the continually increasing pressure of the besiegers. The principal entrance to the castle wag carried not, however, without considerable loss of life. A heap of slain around the gates proved the san gninary nature of the contest Having ooce gained entrance, tae oesiegers, Dressed forward, and rushed into the various apartments of the doomed. The Templars stood undaunted before thacomine foe. Tbev cheered each other on by the remembrance of their slaugh tered brethren, and all tell valiantly out one, who though bleeding from number Ires wounds, still brandished his sword. This one was Hildesheim, the lover of Illek Gwertler. His bearing was ha "iirhty; and there was a strange glitter in his blood-sbot eyes. The morning was breaking, and the first rays of the son shone upon the scsne of devastation and death in the court yard. True courage always commands re spect; the leader of the Archbishop's troop, was seized with an involuntary esteem and admiration for the last war rior in Lahneck. He turned toward Hans Gwertler, and whispered a few words of council in his ear. The burgomaster looked pained and troubled; he had not reckoned upon meeting with so desperate a resistance. "Surrender your sword," demanded Hans Gwertler, addressing Hildesheim. "In return I premise you life and lib erty, with tbis reservation, that yon leave the land for some foreign clime. Sur render 1" "Not to any living man I" answered Hildesheim, proudly. " By the memory of my slain brethren, I swear to yield only with my ifo I Do your worst I I defy you I" ... . , "Resistance is useless, it is madness I L;sten to one who would fain be your friend," said the burgomaster, in a soft ened tone. " For my sake, aod the sake of ." He was about to add his daughter; but he suddenly checked him self, and said, " For your own sake, I corjnre you not to remain thus obsti nate I" "Yon hare heard my answer. The Templars never surrender! " The apartment in which this conversa tion had taken place was filled with armed meo, who, with a chivalrous feel ing for a conquered foe, remained for awhile passive, giving unmistakable evi dence of tbeir unwillingness to com mence hostilities with the Templar. "Yon are self-willed and obstinate," said the commander of the besieging force. " Will nothing prevail npon yea to forego the sternness of yourpurposef ' "Nothing," answered Hildesheim curtly. Upon this he waved his sword, and rushed ioto the very midst of his enemies, several of whom were weuaded by his avenging sword. " Make way there I Close round, and take him prisoner I" exclaimed the leader of the force. The soldiers attempted to affect a cap ture, but the effort wa. a vain one. A body ot archers, Irritated at the obsti nacy and perverseness of Hildesheim, leveled tbeir crossbows at him. A wild shriek rang through the apart ment and ere the next minute the Tem plar was stretched lifeless, and over his prostrate body fell Illek, the burgomas ter's daughter. She had flang herself before ber lover when the bowmen were about to fire, and received her death-wound. Hans Gwertler hastened to the side of his daaghter. She regarded him with a glance of resignation aod ineffable sweet ness, and murmured ia a low voice, " Grieve not for me, father. My heart is broken; and I am glad that the end of all has come." Her lips continued to move for a brief period, but no audible sound escaned them, and then she passed awar: aod it is said that, even at the present day, the forms of Illek Gwertler and Hildesheim, the Templar, are to be seen at stated periods on the borders of tbe Rhine, to warn those who " love not wisely, but too well." A Bsmarkabls Narrative-Tsraible Scenes oa Shipboard. From the London Telegraph. I ' Fiction and fact are equally outdone by tbe almost incredible aarrative related in the log of the Dutch vesaet Finne china, which has just arrived in Cork harbor trom Dootn America, it seems that a JLondon sailor, Rogers by name, shipped on board tbe Fionechina at Bue nos Ayres as a foremast hand npon her voyage to Cork. Capt. Hotze, the Hol lander in commana, nea in nis cauia large sum of money; the fact was well known; and Rogers appears to have de termined to obtain tbe coin at the price, if necessary, of wholesale murder. The ship's company was short, consisting only betides the solitary pirate of cap tain, first aad second mate, cook and three seamen. On the fourth day out from Buenos Ayres, when five of these seven were upon deck, Rogers put his astonishing villainy into execution. Tbe first mate was standing in the opeo gang wav. when Roeers. with a sudden thrust, pushed tbe poor fellow ioto the sea. Tbe cook, hearing the cries of the drowning man, and most likely thinking that be had got into the water by accident, ran to the taffrail wilh a rope to throw to the mate; and, while he was leaning over, Rogers toek him by the legt and pitched him alto into tbe water. The tecond mate, who came running aft in order to help, was encountered by tbe miscreant, who had meantime got hold of an ax, and brandished it furious Iv. Tbe unarmed Dutchman retreated before the murderous wretch, and jamped down the companion just as the com mander, alarmed by the outcry, was hur rying upon deck, ina two men came into collision and fell ; and while Capt Hotze and his second mate were rolling noon the cabin floor together, Rogers clapped down the hatch over tbe ladder and put tbe pin into tbe staple, inus there were three of the ship's company imprisoned below, and two men only remained on deck, an American and an Irishman. Tbe assassin stood amidships between tbe two, and swore that he woald kill them with his ax if either disobeyed him io the least particular. He ordered the one to keep forward, and other aft, and made them steer the vettel by tnrnt ; directing ber course, as he supposed. back to a desert part of tbe Brazilian coast His idea seems to have been to run the ship asbere and find some way of killing the survivors. But tbe compasses were wrong; and thus, instead ot makibg tbe land, the captured ship, in tbe possession of the homicidal maniac, was all the while steering parallel to the coast line. Twice, during this time, the captain got a shot at il jgers through the gratings, bnt without wounding him seriously. Four days and nighu the desperate creature stood, ax in hand, overawing the two sailors on deck, himseit master of tbe vessel, and he is said never to bave closed his eyes, keeping a wild beast's watch of fear, rage and avarice. It appears rather strange that nothing could be done by tbe two men together. Did they dare to sleep? Had they any food and water, or was tbe lonely pirate thus provided 1 Perkapg it was his plan to starve them to death at the helm, or to weaken them nntil they could be easily killed. For mm, at any rate, there was no relief, no respite from bis desperate sentinelship ; and at the end of lbs fourth day nature gave him over into tbe hands of his intended victims, Tbe villain fell suddenlv asleep as be crouched, watching the Yankee and the Irishman, beyond tbe range of the 'Cap tain's pistols. The long awaited oppor tunity was eagerly embraced. Tbe Irishman sprang silently forward, and, seizing the ax, with one blow all but severed the head of Rogers from his body. The hatches were opened, and the three prisoners let free. The head of the vessel was then turned toward Rio Janeiro, where a full statement was made of the deplorable adventure ; aad. after due investigation, the Finaechina shipped a fresh crew, and came quietly across to Cork harbor, where the sur vivors of the tragedy have told their ex trao'dinarv narrative.
