CHAPTER I. coNTDii-U). The evening grew late, and Mary Brown aat OD, in Kej^ina'a lodgini^B, ahivering and trembling. She waa a oervnoa, timid girl, and feared to be alooe at night, her imagina- tion alwaya mnnioK od Bome absurd gboat or Tiaion atory. Mary thought that the narrona dread that ahe experienced wLen left ao much alone at the RiU bad been the firat cauae of her failing health. Where could Kegina be Mary had expected her home at eight o'clock, and now it waa near- ly ten. The people of the houae, who had been in bed b.ng ago, alept in a remote part of it, and their preaence there gave no cour- age or conaolation to the timid gijl. Mixed up with her own imaginary terrors came fears for Regioa's safety. What if a stray ahot from aome poacher ahonld hare struck her aa ahe came by the copde 8uppoie anything bad happened to prevent Nomy walking home with her (and the reader baa aeen that it bad,) she might be lying in the road wounded. The girl half resolved to go out and look for her she dartd not stay much longer alone where ahe waa yes, she wonl'l she would go out and meet K»gi- na Throwing on her bonnet and shawl.Mary tore along the passage as 'if a spectre, were at her heela, and out of the house-door, tak- ing the precaution to lock it af ler her. Once out, her superstitious fear was over, and robbers, poa.hers â€" anv tangible cause of dread â€" ^brought no fear to the mmd of Mary. Keared in the couotrv, amid t)ie solitudes of ita woods and dales, she thought nut there of fear, and cuuUl have walked about in the open air, from night till morning, it was only in the til' nee of a midiii;;ut cham- ber that her ghost tcrrora occurnd to her. 3be continued faer way beyond the vil- lage, bat could s«e no trace of Rrgtua. She did not meet a soul. The oifly moon, draw- ing toward its setting, waa ofien obscured by cluU'.s, but the nixht was light. At length she came to her brother's bouse and sprang forward to open the gate.N hoping Bra.i8y waa at home. ' What a curious thing the gate waa fas- tened I Never had Mary known that gate to be locked before. The key of it had bung ap, untunched, on a nail in the kitchen, as long as she could remember, Urassy must be out But, as Mary kancJ forward on the little gate, for she was tired with her walk, she de- tected a light elimmering through a chinck ID the shutter of the kbtping-ruom. And, at the same moment she heard, or thought she heard, a movcmtnt in the garden, on the right side of the house. She shook the gate and called out. Waa it her fancy Mary thonght she saw a low, dark form creep from the middle of the garden toward the back door but thn house cast its shade just there. " They are getting ready for a poaching expedition," ahe mentally concluded. " IV-rhaps Smith, or Timais, or some of them chaps are up here." She ehook the gate again. •• Who the devil's that 7" cried Mr. Braa- sy Brown^pokinj his head, enveloped in a cotton nightcap, out at an upper window, that of his bedroom. ' It's iiut you, is it, Simms " " Braaay.it's me," responded Mary. " The gate's lucked." " Tou 1 ' echoed Brassy, in a tone of the moat unqnalilied astonishment.

The first thing she did npon catsting waa to make a fire and pat oa Uia tea-kettle. By seven o'clock breakfast was ready, and after drinking one cup of tea, for she wanted it badly, she sat down and waited for Bigiaa. R^ina never came. Before kmg the whole village was araosed with the news of her disappearance, and nearly the whole village dM something toward searching for her. Uonses, forests, glens, liaas â€" for three days every spot was looked into, every exertion made to hnd her but in vain. No person had seen her, as far as could be learn- ed, after she left the under-keeper's cottsge that night. Nomy deposed that she wstca- ed faer as far as the turning ia the road, (about forty yards only), walking at brisk pace and Mr. Braasy Brown asserted that ahe never reached bis house, or, at any rate, she never entered it. He was sitting in his keepjng-room, smoking, a good part of the evening, expecting Timms to drop ia, and he neither saw nor heard her pass, 'f'^r bad told him in the afternoon that she should call fur bis sister's shawl, and he looked for her, and laid it out ready, but abe did not come. Wnan asked if her non-appearance struck him as singular " Not a bit of it," ha answered, " what was it to him If he thought of it at all, it was that she had gone home the longeat waa, to take a walk with the parson." Among the universal perplexity, none waa so much affected by this mysterions disappearance as Mr. Lewis for none hsd regarded Kegina's with feelings akin to his. He left not a stone untamed to find her. He turned about in his mind every proba- bility and ioprobability that oould bear up- on the caae,; at rest, or in action, in his daily duties and his midnight chamber, be was ever dwelling on it. m mmtam mf, nr agK to â- fialia* by strag wpsa Ua I real spot «i BagMi'a raataag- ha iwialMl te hiik Ha had Hony, «r to tha yaaag aknyaaa vba bad oa«a la do Uadm^lar h,aa4whowaB to bias Uka a hrothar.

Mr. Lewis samssBoad his booaefcasp- er, who drssssd hunalf aad bastsaod to hia scarcely knew why, rose, hke a pluud in his mind â€" a suspicion of Brassy Brown. But what suspicion The clergyman could not dtfine it to himself. Mr. Lewis had heard of such things aa young girla being atolen away and married against their will, and it waa known that Brassy Brown bad long wanted to marry Regina. But Braaay could not have entered upon a feat of that sort, because Mary fo'and him in his own house soon after what must have been the hour of her dissppearance, quietly sleeping in his own bed. The joking words of R^ina oc- curred to him "He will kill me, some of these days, with his shakings. If be does. Sir, I shall look to you to give me Christian burial," and he remembered hia rssh pro- mise and shuddered. The fourth day after Retina's disappear- ance Mr. Lewis went again up to Brassy's. The latter waa in his garden planting cab- bages. He came forward when be saw his visitor, invited him into the house, and set a chair. "Mr. Brown," began the clergyman. "I bave come up once more to talk with you about this mysterious affar. Will yon swear to me, before Heaven, that you have no iiiea what has become of Miss Winter " "Won't do au thing of the sort," said Brassy, coolly. " i have had an idea from the first." "How? what idea?' cried the clergy- man eagerly. " I suspect that you took her off for a moonbght walk that night yourself, Parson; and that, maybe, jou have kept her in hid- ing, against taking her for some more." ' This levity ill-becomes you, Mr. Brassy Brown," "Levity!" uttered Braasy. "I don't mean it as levity. Who else ia likely to have got hold of her, but you â€" von had the best right to her." "Did yon get hold of her?" asked the clergyman, looking at him keenly. "if I did get bold of her, I shouldn't have been able to keep her," retorted the imperturable Brassy. "Not likely. Here was Numy= here the next day, sobbing her eyes out, and looking all over my rooms and into my cupboards. When the had done, I a^ked her if ahe thought 1 had locked her up in one of 'em. My opinion is, Parson, that you and Nomy and Mary are all soing cracMd together over this matter, What do I know of Regina Winter â€" or want with her Not so much as on. " " Where eon she be " bewailed the cler- gyman, in his perplexity. "On what mys- tprious spot of this fair earth can ahe be hid- den Is she dead or alive T" "Nomyl" ba axclaimad, "I faavo a strange troabla npoa aiy niiad. I eanaot reat." "Dear master," she said, "what is it? I am sure trouble's bad for yoa." "These last three nighu I have beeo dreaming of Bagiaa. I thonght ahe came and pointed ont to me where she was lying, snd though I saw it, and stood noon it, though all around the spot was familiar in my dreams, I cannot reoall it when I awake. This last night it seemed the plainest, and the place where I stood I now know was a garden, for I saw the vegetablea not a plowed or pasture field, ss I had thonght yesterday. And I don't ksow why, bat Mary Brown seemed in some way to be mii ed up with this last dream." "Yon had better call to mind all the places where yon have ever seen Mary Brown, master, or where she ever wss, to your knowledge, with Miss Begins," whis- pered the woman, after serious thought, " It misht sfford some clue, maybe," The Vicar lay back on bis bed, remaining sileBt, his hand sbadmg his eyes, as if he would shnt out outward things. The woman stood watching him. " Where is there a privet-hedge, Nomy " he said, after a while, without removing his hand â€" "a privet-hedge, and potatoes planted nader it, with a path ranniag acroas to it?" " A privet-hedge and potatoes growing by it," uttered Nomy " there's many such in thu neighborhood, master." "The kidney- beaiu lie in this way," he added, making a movement with the unoc- cupied hand, "and the peas â€" they aie just coming upâ€" are lower down. The chbbaKei va^e suspicion, he are close under foot â€" Oh, Nomy t " he cried with a positive shriek, " I reooUeot â€" I She's not in my pocket," returned Bras- bnngs you here, knocking people npat this I gy, "and I'm sure you are welcome to search time of night?" „ everything else that's mine. Beoause I I am looking for Regina," answered â-  Mary. " She went after school to sec No. my, and she has never come back. 1 got frightened stopping there all alone, and frightened for her, ao I came out to meet her." " Why.what a confounded little stupid yon mast be," ejacuatcd Biassy, "to come uut npon .Huch a wild goose cbase as this While yon have been blunditing up here, she's no doubt gone home by the other road." "She never takes tb.%t road," rejoiced Mary, " it is such a round and very lunely. I waa afraid that some stray shot might have struck her, coming by Poachers' (Jopse.

What a frightened child you are, Polly I" " Do you really believe she has gone that way with him " returned ^ary, wonderful- ly relieved. " I am not going to stop prating witli yon any longer, that's what I believe," retorted Brassy. "Just take yonrselt off. And never you come waking me out of my first sleep again, or you'll catch what you won't like." " Brassy, there's a candle burning in the 'keeping- room." " Who says so?" " 1 can see through the chink. Did you forget to put it oit " " There waa a log on the fire half burned when I came to bed. I suppose it's flicker- ing up again. So much the better hope it will stop in till I get up in tho morning. Come, be off." " You could not come dow.i 'nd give me my cotton shawl?' asked the girl. "The walk tires me so much, I don't know when I can get here again. It was the excitement that helped me on so cjuickly to-night." "Cotton shawl be burntd, and you with it I" roand Mr. Brassy, wrathfully. " Do yon think I am coming out of my tied for a cotton shawl " " Regina said she woald call for it," an- swered the girl, in a deprecating tone. " Did " No, she didn't, replied Brassy. "I've not seen the colour o! ner since I met her this afternoon. She couldn't call here, not abe, if sha went roond with the parson the other wsy." "Goodnight, Brassy." Mr. Brassy Brown vouchsafed no reply, bat banged-to his casement. Mary had got iae pacea from the gate when she tamed oack, shook ii, and called out. Once more the window waa thrown open, with an im- patient anathema, and the white cotton night-cap extending itself out as before. "Braasy," she said, lowering her voice, " I forgot to tell yon that I saw something ia tba garden. It seemed to be making its way to the back door." "Saw what r "Idca't know. It looked like a great black dog, or else a man on all-fours." " Don t yon think it wss a cat " rejoined tba irallswtn, sarcaatioally, 'No," said tho girl shaking ' it was too big for a her head, cat â€" if is was sny- Tm not snra ahoat it, Braasy.

'The two are not the tame articles. Parson." Nothing more satisfactorily ooald be got oat of Brassy Brown, and the affair remain- ed as unfatoiuable as at its first onset. A new mistress was procured for the school. Mary Brown, whose health was growing rapidly worse, retumed home to the Rill to dU; Brassy continued to pursue his free- and-easy tort of life, and the village, in time, ceased to think and speak of Regina. But there were two hearts in which she was never forgotten â€" those of poor, faithful Nomy and of the Reverend John Lewis. II. The Reverend John Lewis lay on his bed in Littleford Vicarage, tossing and turning from side to side. The cheek's hectic, ot which observant trieods had predicted mis- ehiet in the earlier part of hia clerical career, had at length shown ont in its true nature, and John Lewis was dying of decline. Seven years had elapsed since the now nearly for- ).otten dsappearaace of Regina Winter, and he had been an ailing, fading man ever since. The years had brought several changes to the village. Mrs. Budd was dead, and Nomy, whose husband had been killed in an affray with poachers, was now the house- keeper and general servant at the Vicarage, It had been a desperate conflict, this affray two gamekeepers were shot dead, and others badly wouuded. Several lawless characters were committed for trial, on suspicion of being concerned in it, one of whom was Mr. Bratsy Brown. But when the trial came on at the AMizes, the suspicions could not be converted into proofs, and the men were dis- charged. Brassy Brown felt, or afftcted great indignation. They had treated him like a low, common poacher, he raved, in- stead of a gentleman, as he was by descent, and he delared be would not stop among them. He was as good as his word sdver- tised hia small estate for sale, pocketed the money, and took ship at Liverpool. Some people thonght he went to America, some to Australia, (not then fl ckeU after as it is now), and soma to the ooast of Africa; but Brassy himself never said where, and after his departure he was nevei more heard of. The Revered John Lewis Uy on his bed, tossing aad taming. His restlessness that night wss not wholly the result of his fever- ish sick state. He had just awakened from a disagreeable dream. He thought that Re- gina Winter came to him dressed in white, with a pale, sorrowfal face, and gently re- proached him with neglecting his oath, and saffering her to lie in anconaecrated ground. He thonght be asked the qoeation, Where are you lying and she gbded on before, telling him to come and see. He seemed, after they had gone soma way, to lose sight of her, and to have halted, himself, on a spot of ground familiar to him. Bat just then he awoke, and, try aa ha would, wss unable to recall the featorea of the place, which he had seemed, in his sleep, to know so well. With thia dream, all the old troable came faaek again, the paiafal f aeliaga, the yaaraing after Ragina, which ha had ia a degree, oat- grown. He had long bean vary ill for many moBtha had daily looliad for death his hoars wet* naasad in great paia aad wcariaeas yet oaath eaoM not sad the soBswhat TNifloary idea now riabad over his miad, was it that ho emU mtt dia th a t he was not pennittad todie natil ba had fal- blled his oath to "^tf"*. foaad, aad bariad her?

The servant drew nearer to the bed, and grasped hold of the counterpane. A name- less terror was stealing over her. "It is Brassy Brown's garden," gasped the invalid " I see every part of it, as I used to see it when I read to Mary in her illness. The green apot â€" but the green was only in my dream â€" is on the right of the narrow path leading ta the back door along the side of the house. Cabbages were grow- ing on it the Spring I used to go to Mary. I saw Braasy trajsplsntiog them there the very day 1 went to ask news of Regina. I believe solemnly,' uttered the clergyman, with emphasis, "as truly as that we mast all one day come to the same earth, that Re- gina lies there. Call Mr. Hampton." The young curate wss summoned out of his sleep, and came. M.. Lewis related his extraordinary dreams to him, and his sacred conviction that, in this particular spot, the remains woud be found. Before mid-day not leaa than 20 inhabitants of Littlefntd had listened to these dreams from the Vic- ar's own lips. He could not go himself, he was too weak to get there and to risk the agitation it would entail, but he took a piece of paper, and drew a plan of Braasy Brown's garden, minutely markiog the precise spot where he believed the body would be found. A com- pany â€" such a campany â€" armed with spades, picksxes, and shovels, and headed by Squiie Rickburst and the Revered Mr. Hampton, flocked to the RiU in the afternoon the uew owner of the place willingly granting them leave to itum up his garden. It was in Spring, just about the tine of year she had dissipeared, and the spot waa now planted with broccoli. They rooted them up, and dug and dug and, a few feet below the surface, they cime npon the moul- dering remains of Regina Winter. Dressed aa she bad been drevscJ that evening a blaok-dreaa, a black-and-white plaid shawl, a white laoe collar, and a atraW tionnet tiim- med with black. The bonnet and ahawl were torn and tumbled, a» if in a struggle, and lay npon her. A Coroner 'a inquest was held, and the cause of death proved at it. She had been shot in the left breast, in, or close to, the heart. The verdict was " willful murder against George Brown," though some of the jury were for bringing it in "manslaughter," lelieving it might have been the result of an accident. Brassy always kept loaded guns about his house. Then came a contention between the Vic- ar and Nomy, between the Vicar and hia curate, between the Vicar and the Squire â€" he insisting upon officiating at her burial, and they aaying he was not bt to do it. But on the afternoon appointed for the service the Vicar struj^led up out of his bed snd dressed himself. " I took a rash oath, dur- ing her life, that I would give her Christian burial," he answered to their remonstrances, "and I must fulfil it." There was scarcely moving room in the church-yard all Littleford and its neighb.r- hood for some miles ronnd flocked thither to witoess that lingular interment. The re- mains of the ono9 happy girl, about whose ill fate there could be no doubt, whatever may have been its mysterious details, brought, after the lapse of seven years, to their home in conrecrsted ground and the weakened frame, the wan, attenuated face of him who stood there, in his white surplice, reading the service over her Many who witnessed that funeral are dead, but of those who remain, not one has forgotten the scene, or ever will forget it. With the last words of the burial service, the Reverend John Lewis's strength, so srti- ficially buoyed up with excitement, deserted him, and it was feared he could not walk back to the vicarage, short as the distance wss. Leaning on Squire Rickhnrst, on one side, and on Mr. Hampton, en the other, he at length gained it. IJefore be had wdl re- poaed an instant on the sofa, prepaiatory to being taken back to his bed, Ted Timms, the man who had been the intimate asso- ciate of Brassy Brown, pat bis hesd into the room, and ssked to speak with the Vicar alone. "Be quick in what yon have to ssy, Timms," panted the Vicar, " for I am vAry ill." " I thought it my duty to come in and make a clean breast of ic. Sir," began the man. " I have been away from Littleford till to-day, since the body were found, or I should have been here afore. I think I hold the due to this murder." " Speak np," breathed the Vicar. " My bearing is growinn dull." " The night afore Brassy Brown went away for good, the very nigbt afote it, we waa a-drin^ing together at ray place, and Brassy got a drop too much, which is whst he didn't often do. We got talking about a many things; a-bragging what feats, for good or bod, we had done in our career boasting, as it were, one again the t'other. Brassy at last hicocped out that be hsd, one night, had a desperate quarrel with a girl in his house, at the Rill and at last got so mad that he shot her, though be never meant to kill her. I didn't pay much attention to him then, setting it down to the boastings of a man in his cups but. Sir, I now think it were nothing but the truth, and that he spoke ef Miss Oina. The shot must have killed her, and he might have buried in the garden that same night If you re- member. Sir, Mary Brown told folks she was frightened by fancying she saw something bisck a-creeping from that spot into the bouse, while she wsa a-shakiog at the gate. It mast have beaa Braasy a-digging the gravatbea."

Experience has proved this again and again, and ic is easy to understand why ing money in a differant manner or by a dis- tinct calling, sboidd in time gr^w apart rather than together. In the first place, rivalry is very spt to srise between a money-making couple and where rivalry exiits, love and sympathy are prone to languish. Secondly, the pr^tce tends to create in each an individaalism so strong ss to interfere with, if not to hinder, perfect union. Thirdly, it is like to mssca- lioise the woman to a degree that is unoon' gmous with the harmooy of a complete union. All this ia probable when a man and his wife sre forcible, enereetic, oonscien- tious; when esch tries hard to perform his or her full duty, and to get whatever finan- cial recompense is possible for his or her labor. Bot the average man is inclined, after his wife has proved her capacity to get money, to relax hia efforts in that direction. Most of us are as Isxy as we can be with any sort of convenience to ourselves. When we find that anybody will take care of us, that we aro not compelled to eam our own bread, it is surprising and humiliating to think, how many of ns will consent, under various pretexts and for specious causes, to be indirectly, if not directly, de- pendent. The thing is continually exemplified in men who wed rich women. They may be very independent in dispoeition they may declare that they will never toach a dollar of their wivea' property they may proclaim that they will leir the entire expenses ot their home. But, unless they be themselves weslthy, or bave an exceptioaally large in- come, they will fail of their high purpose. They may for a while execute their intent, but it cannot be for long. They will event- ually compromise with their proper pride aad share their wives' fortune, growing in- different by degrees to the proportion that they receive. If a woman earns but little â€" a few hun- dred dollars, aay â€" barely enongh to meet certain extraordinary expenses, or to use in charity, it is very much as if she should eam nothing. But when her earnings equal, or nearly equal, her hnsband's, particularly when they exceed those, a very unfavour- able influence is pretty certain to be felt and a markea interior change to occar. Except he be very different from bis kind, he will steadily, perhaps ineensib'y, lessen bit ex- ertion until his calling, whatever it be, be- comes more nominal than real. As his earn- ings decrease his power of self-deception will increase. He will be likely to discover that it is more pn.fltable to look after the wife's basiaess than to attend to his own. He will dcKeuerate in due time into her agent, and fl ttter himself that, but for his counsel, wis- dom, and managing talent, she would be able to do nothing. He is constrained for her interest, indeed for their mutual interest, to withdraw measurably from bis affairs to insure the prosperity of hers. He may not deceive hinuelt by this transparent fallacy, but he strives to deceive others by it, and to such end expresses it constantly. When a man ia willing to play second fioancia, violin to his wife a firat, there is no chance of his ever leading an orahestra of any kind. There are m^n entirely virile, of ample pride and sensibility, who marry women for no better reason than love, when thesi already have a vocation they are averse to relinquishing. They may be actresses, musicians, writers, physicians, painters, teachers, and so deeply interested in their employment that it would seem unjust, if not cruel, to demand that they ahonld give it up. So long as the husbjnd can earn more than hia wife, so long even aa they eam nearly the same amount, they may jog on amoothly. But when bis earnings, from aay cause, fall below hers, there must be a shock to his self-estaem that he cannot wholly resist. It msy not bs from any fault or romissness of his, it may be the result of uncontrollable circumstance. Nevertheteey, it marks the date of his discontent, which is well-nikh certain to increase in geometrical ratio. He la apt to grow peevish and bitterâ€" the man who dislikes himself seldom likes anybody else â€" finsUy, so morbid and misanthropic that he wiU, unless remarkably strong, so- k relit f in diisipation. If he drink, drink will soon so abase him that he will loose all sense of shame from his peculiar position. Ha will not care whether he earns anything he will surrender mor^illy and abjectly he will allow himself to be supported by a wo- man's wages; he will be, in the worst sense, a petticoat peuaioner, and lose the power of blushing. Not a few huabandaof this sorry sort have grown to be sots others bave kept sober, but have sunk out of notice others,, sgain â€" and these aro the luckiest, perhaps â€" have terminated their own lives. If the inner history of the divorce courte could be ascer- tained, the cause of many separations would be found to be the si^perior earnings of wives. It is doubtfol, even if a right-minded man could be tranquil under the trantfer of finan- cial protency and authority to a woman, whether ahe can ever completely respect in her inmost heart the man who has permitted her to Usurp his proper fnncuoa. Generally speaking, it is as much the business of s man to eam the money needed for a household as it is for a wonun to fnrniih ito children, and when he neglecte or shirks that busi- ness he does so at the peril of bis peace and of his wife's esteem for him. Many women like, apart from any need they may have, to make a little money. It gratifies their pride, their sense of power but it is ques- tionable if they can make much money, and make it regularly, without losing the best, bcoanse it is the minliest, that is in their husbands' spirit snd character. aawttk •ftba Vasia bat tkiasaa w«a nfaMtoiiw _^ tothafiiliil i iiaH«r n l ii OTt M tkt baalatocwiiagoaa.

Mr. Paddock. Theoflloial knew of this clergyman. The sham minis- ter wss accompanied by an innocent appear- ing yonng man, who he stotod, was one of his parishioners. Dr. Paddock would be much obliged to the collector if he could only give the young man something to do-^ some light work, such as watchman â€" as he wss in need, and his health would not admit of exposure. Collector Tntton was exceed- ingly pleased to see Dr. Paddock. Mr. Tntton's rector at Downington and Dr. Pad- dock Wire, in fact, well acquainted, and|Mr. Tutton tolked freely of Downington's spirit- nsl needs. To the reverend gentleman he explained that no reliance could be plaoed on the recommendations of politicians, wh le a minister's endorsement was nearly always a safe guide, The sham clergyman got quite shaky when Mr. Tntton toauhed on Down- ington mattors, bot soon switohed off the conversation and avoided ombarassment. ItU now diaclosed that"Shoey" Miller, whe was mixed up in the bogus naturaliza- tion business, and was sentenced to two years' imprisionment in the Eastern peni- tentiary, pervonated Rev. Dr. Paddock, and was a party to the job. The yoang man recommended by him was appointed and made a watehman. By a strange coincidence the yonng fellow was assigned to that end of the building where the sub-treasury is located. For weeks he was attentive to bis duty, but all this time he was gathering poinu and familiarizing l.imaelf with every part of the balding, and with all the per- sona employed in it. TneM facte were made known to the gang, of which be was a member, and some of the confederates visit- ed the place to learn the by-ways. The robbers exhibited no undue bssto in moving upon their prey, bat waited until the time when the quarterly interest on the United States bonds fell due. They knew tnat large sums of money were stored in the vsults. On Sunday morning it was discov- ered that a hold had been made iu the side of the custom-house wall, large enough to admit of the passage of a man's body through it. A closer examination revealed the fact that this led directly into the vault. The place had been cleaned out, but the robbers had been fooled. In this tpirtment were stored the pennies snd small coius. Next to it, and with only the thickness of a few bricks, was the huge pile of interest money. It has been presumed that the thieves be- lieved they had struck bags of gold, and that in the darkness they merely felt of them to learn whether they were coin or not, and immediately passed them oat to their con- federates to carry to s place of safety. In- stead of Koinx' farther, the job was, for some reason, abandoned at thia time, and after an outlay of thousands of dolUrs the burglars captured but a couple of hundred doQars' worth of pennies. It is thought thst day- light came too faat for them, and they were compelled to vacate the premises, which was a good thing for the government. aaethar had saaa Um mmm objaot ig motionless in the osatra of tba diaiM-room, looking white aad i^uOj; atraiMa aoiasa had also baaa board groana aadaiAs awakaaad oaa aarrant or another at Diidaight, aad tba opirit of tba daad aad ty has ffoM lady seamad to ua nU qiaoe.

Last week, in cleaning ont a well, the water of which had Bol bean naod for aome years, a strange object was brongbt to light. It was a hu- man skeleton, evidently that of a woman. How it bad come there none oould tell. But the ghastly " fiod" revived the speculatioas oonoeming the mysterious fate of the miss- ing wife of the former owner of the plaoto- tion, and it was readily divined that this grisly, loathsome skeleton wss all that re- mained to tall the story of her doom. But how did she oome there t Did she, in a fit of madness thus seek death or had she been murdered, and her body flaog into that dark »byss with the hope of hiding the crime These are questions which sgitote people in the vicinity, and to which no satis- lactory answer can be found. All or nearly all the acton iu the strange scene have dis- appeared. D'Ossel is no one knows where. Uu sooond vrife did not fignre in it to any (treat fxtent, and besides she went away with him. The ssrvaou are scattered and some of them dead. Those who sre now living in the nei^hbonrhood believe that d'Ossel murdered his wife, having grown weary of her. In support of this theory they recount numberless conversations which they overheard in which he threaten- ed her life, he at the aame time being dmnk and deaperate. They say, further, that his wife was slightly insane, not so much so however ss to attract attention or be trou- blesome, bat enough to make her an incubus npon such a man aa d'Ossel. They assert, now since her bones bave been properly in- terred, her spirit will no more wander about the old bouse where he spent so many happy hours, and where (if their story is just) soe wss so foully murdered. The case is a strange one snd is something seldom devel- opedâ€"something which, when trying to decide whether it be murder or suicide, must raise a train of ngly donbte and vain tarmiscs in the strongest mind. «hawaa4ar k ia a t^SMav aMMt all h«iwB«d«bi«thf dMd bMl waald b aTa ta ba jaada ao ^J** • wha4oaot|My alall.

CBOM â€"A LKTTER rROM HnSSBT SPIKCUt. The notices of the London press upon the death of George Eiiot add little to what baa been aaid here. The Sxammer tells of the insanity of ber husband, of which no pre- vious public mention has been made. It says "It seems bot little more than a year since we lost George Henry Lewes, her first snd must trasted counselor and companion, and hardly a twelve-month since the world learned with, perhaps, some degree of sur- prise, that she had married a gentleman of the stock exchange named Croes. While they were on their wedding trip â€" it is no use now to conceal the cad facteâ€" he lost control over himself at Venice, and threw himself from the balcony of their rrsiuenoe. Hsp- pily, the sea, and not the ground, received him, and he survived, but only to be placed in a mai»on dt nntt. Bravely Mrs. Cross set herself to face her now doubly lonely ifs, but the stmggle, not surpassed in in- tensity by that of any of her heroines, did not Ust long, snd she has now gone, at the age of 60, to the rest that mast^ave oome to her as a relief." The following lettor from Herbert Spencer was published in the London Ktm :â€" "Though, aa one among those intimate friends most shocked by ber sudden death, I would willingly keep silence, I feel that I can not allow to pass a serious error con- tained in your biographical notice of George Eliot. A positive form is there given to the belief which has been long current that I had mnoh to do with her education. There It not the slightest foundation for this be' lief. Our friendship did not somnence un- til 1851, s date several years later than the pnbUcation of her transIaUon of Strani8,snd when she was already distinguished by thst breadth of culture aad nniveisality of pow- er which have since made her known tb aU the world.

That plan woald be offonsivc;, but there are others. Suppose a gruser should adopt the rule of handing back to evei^ ca-h custom- er five per cent, of the purchase If Cash bought $5 worth of goods bis rebate would be twenty-five cents. If Credit bought 95 worth, he should havs the same pric s but no rebato. Cash wonld be encouraged, and Credit weald only be paying frr the favor, the same as he woald have to if hu borrow- ed the money. Let any grocer nu s doing a half-cssh, half-credit business, pat this plan in operation snd his cash cattomers would increase faster thsn he dreams of. Scores who now ask for credit wonld turn aboat and pay ciah. It is simply adopting the plan ol the wholesalers. It is no exp.ri- ment with them, and would not long be With reteilers. Cash hss preferet.ce ard advantatjc everywhere and iu all cases ex- cept buying at retsil. It must be accorded anadvantege there.

Imagine, if yoo can, aays a Paris corret- pondent, and English newspaper office being converted into a fencing-saloon, and, if you are able to stretch your fancy thus far, you will nevertheless fail to form any idea of the scene presented recently in the house of the Rue Dronot, built for toe printing and pub- liabing of 1m Figan. It was announced a short time ago that a certain Baron di Sau Malato, the most redontoble swordsman of Italy, and who had acquired a notoriety as a faat man about Florence, intended to exhibit his prowess in Paris. The Eigaro according- ly offered to him the hoepitality of ite house, for the purpoee of giving a private assault of armr, to which an exceedingly small number of invitotions were issued, theee being restricted to the best twordt- men of the metropolis and the writers on tho paper. The publishing office is of it- self worth a visit, and it is especiallly in- teresting to Eoglisb journalist* by reason of ite being utterly unlike any estobliah- ment of the kind in Britain. It consiste of a large and lofty hall, open to the roof, and surrounded by a gallery ranning round the first floor, similsr to that which i« to be seen iu many an English country house. The walls are adorned with admirably frescoes, depicting episodes ot the plays rf Beaumarchais, of which Figaro is the hero, and the polychromatic omamenUtion is gorgeous in the extreme. Bich panoplies of arms are fixed against the walls of ths aato-roonu, snd on the staircasea are big vases, conteining handsome plaote. The decoration of the central hall is completed by pictures of the royal pertonages who have been ueste of the staff of the ^igar0, the prince of Wales occupying the place of honour in ths middle. A low platform waa put down along the centre of the hall, and here the Baron di Sin Malato pitted himself against M. Merignac, the first professor of Pans. The Itolian appearwl with a foU of a peculiar description, the handle of which he held between his first and second fingers, and he wore booto, which are here never don- ned m toe fenciag-room, bat are reaerved for dueling purposes.
