A Bell‘s Five llundredfil'cars.
The city of Iircslau lraajust. celebrated
the live hundredth anniversary of an oc-
in the
history of the town and is known where—
ever German poetry finds a borne. The
bell which hangs in the southern tower
of St. Mary Magdalen‘s (‘hurch and is
named “the poor sinncr‘s bell," rang out
morning and evening to remind all who
heard it that it was cast. 300 years ago.
Next. day rSundnyt the preacher rc-
minded his congregation of the pathetic
story which has made it singular among
bells, how, when all was ready for Cll>1~
ing. the founder withdrew for a few mo-
ments. leaving a boy in charge of the
furnace. warning him not a meddle with
the catch which secured the soothing
metal in the caldron. 8‘“. the boy dis~
regarded the caution. and then, terrified
on seeing the molten metal beginning; to
flow into the mold, called to the bell
founder for help. Rushing in and sec-
ing what he had intended to be his mas-
terpiece ruined, be slew the boy on the
a t. When the metal had cooled and
th: mold was opened, the bell was
found to be an exquisite work. perfect
in finish, and of marvelous sweeznc s of
tone. Coming to his senses, be recog-
nized his bloody work and straightway
gave vhimse‘f up to the magistrates.
“Blood for bloor “ was the law; he w.:s
condemned to die, and he went to his
doom while his beautiful bell pealed an
invitation to all to pray for “the poor
sinner,” whence its name—London
