The rnillfr died only some few yeara a.o to the infinite regret of all the lessees, "r their decen<lants 7 who though their hatred never slept through fifty long" years, must often have uttered the familinr wish of the Jnsh, '* Long- li te to ye !" in the case of a mjin who, fhrou' b the ingenious interference of his landlord, bad the prosperity o* a whole district bound up with the breath nf his body.
