I have been so long importuned for an explanation of the manner in which I succeeded in detecting and bringing to justice the murder of Christian Soule, that; I have determined to write and pub- lish a full account of the afihir, and thus make an end of it. And set the uneilual balance flight, Hence jars and quarrels, and of course A suit and trial for divorce. NOW when I give away my heart I mean to choose a. mate for life, And be his true and loving wife Until death cometh us to partâ€"â€" No master and 110 coxcomb, I. Therefore 1 needs must write, good-by. Mr. Soule was .. -u reputed to be immensely wealthy, some- what of a miser, and a bachelor. Who or what his kindred were, no one tool; the trouble to inquire; and it was as well, )erhaps, that the curious did not interest themselves in this direction, for he was not communicative concerning his private matters; and the probabilities are that nothing could have been elicited from him by questioning that he did not choose to state voluntarily. For years he had inhabited a. small apartment on the upper floor of an unpre- tending publicâ€"house in a suburban city; and, save that he was a quiet old man who paid his bills regularly” gave no trouble, and spent the greater part of his time in his retired attic, busy with pa- pers and account-books, little was known of him by the proprietor of the place or its frequenters. You chance some day, Your sort, I mean, To see. a pair of checks or eyes, That stir you with a. soizt surprise ; And toward the lady straightyou lean, And coax her to you with a ring” A peal, a. flower; or some such thing. And if she come: and if she please, By smiling much and saying naught, You say you love her past all thought; And then you fall upon your knees, And vow that you will die 'with pain Unless she love you back again. She listens with altender sighâ€"- Her heart is all unsatisfied ; But through its hunger, or its pride She puts array the warning cry, And to her woman’s nature true, j “ Clothes you with dearuess, not your due.” And when the courtship thus begun Has brought about the fatal hour,‘ You call the priestâ€"he calls you one; And then the‘ women gives her dower 0f wealth and beauty, youth and grace, And like your shadow, takes her place. And thenceforth scarcely dares to stir, Holding and hoarding "9.11 her powers For the diversion of such hours As you may choose to grant to her; And taking from you all her toneâ€" No will, no pleasure of her own. What shall I give of heart or hand-- What would he have me say or do ? This is her constant thought, while you Are thinkingwâ€"what shall I demand ? So by and by, to sum in brief. The wife and husband come to grief. For nature, though she suffer long One‘morning in midwinter, Mr. Soule did not make his appearance at breakâ€" fast; which was such an unusual circum- stanceâ€"his habits being to the last degree methodicial,â€"that a servant was sent to investigate the matter. Of conrse, there was a tremendous commotion in the house. Doctors were summoned, the coroner sent for, and the customary hubbub incident to such an event followed in regular form, resulting: in the conclusion that the deceased had fallen a victim to some sudden malady â€"but what, the medical authorities failâ€" ed to exactly discover. There seemed to be no grounds for questioning the correctness of the above conclusion. The body exhibited no tra- ces of violence, and death had evidently been instantaneous, and, it would seem, painless; for the expression of the face was natural, save for the pallor that folâ€" lows dissolution, and the remnant of a cigar was still retained in the stiffened fingers of the right hand. The room, too, was in the usual order. A desk and two trunks were unfastened, but their valuable contents were undis- turbed, and in the breast pocket of the dead man’s coat several thousands in bonds and bank-notes were found intact. Clearly there was nothmg to indicate that a murder had been committed ; and yet, when the affair was reported at our office, I said to my mate, Dustan, that there had been foul play, but Without being able to assign any reason for the faith that was in me. And patiently in fate’s despité; Will 1'31 the gnd adjust‘yhe‘ wrung; _ He Found the old man seated before thefiekmpty gratefstono dead ! Every detective, I suppose, can recall instances "in the course of his professional career when he has felt a strong convic- tion either that a crime has or has not been committed, which rested upon no basis that convictions amounting to cer- tainties had. taken possession of the mind. Ithad been my habit to pay atten- tion to them, and sometimes pa- tient waiting and watching had resulted in startling devolepments, corroborative of the intuitive perception. It was for this l'eaison, probably, that I “resolved to investigate this matter, and to keep my intention i0 mxgelf. _ Asshmfng a convenient disguise, such as men in my lme of business are familiar A Woman’s Answer to the Proposal of a Coxcomb’. gimmm Found Dead ggmmtm. M. Teefy, Esq. When death overtook him, he had evi- dently concluded the mechanical labours of the day, such as writing and figuring, for his books and papers were replaced in his desk. So the chances were that he was thinking of his money and its representatives, both of which he had to a large amount in that apartment. Did he know that people said he was rich ? And if so, did it ever occur to him that evil disposed persons might sus- pect thathis unpretending room pos~ sibly contained something worth looking after, and that it was somewhat risky to rétain so much money and securities of value in such an exposed situation? It was quite possible, even probable, that such idea; TJvIC tLe last that filled. Christian Soule’s mind. The more I thought of it7 the more certain I became that this was, in point of fact, the case ; that, so to speak, the mind of the dead man still floated in the air I breathed, and had placed 'itself in some sort of direct communication with mine. It was a curious and not quite a comfortable feeling; and as the time wore on to mid- night-J began to feel an unpleasant premoâ€" nition that something altogether beyond the ordinary course of events Was about to take place. The first noteworthy occurrence was a sudden rush of icy air that proceeded from no aperture that I could discover. The immediate result of this was to fan into a blaze the embers which had before been smouldering ; the secondary, the ap- pearance on one of the walls of' a fantas- tio shadow. I watched it interestedly, but more for the reason that I could not understand its origin than for any other cause. Gradually it assumed a. definite shape, and soon grew into the semblance of a man, seated as I myself was. I fear, I cannot describe very accu- rately what followed, but as I gazed, the shadow elaborated until I had before me a representation of the Whole apart- ment. I felt rather than saw that the man in the chair was asleep. Presently the door slowly unclosed, and another person cautiously entered the room. Both figures now stood out plainly re- vealed as in a picture. i The man in the chair I recognized as Mr. Soule; the other was a small, lightâ€"complexioned man with a stoop in the shoulders that almost amounted to deformity, a sallow, unâ€" healthy look, and eyes that were curiously parti- coloured. Soule was said to be rich and miserly; and, as he was engaged in no active v0â€" eution, it was Safe to presume that be cc: cupied .his time principaily in computing his gains from. the accumulation of inâ€" terest, or otherwise, and devising. new and safe investments for his means. ~ The stranger looked stealthily around for a moment, and then crept forward to- wards a desk on the opposite side of the room. His hand was upon the key which was in the leek, when Mr. Soule, seemed to awake suddenly. The stranger darted for the door, but the old man caught him and held him fast. The intruder fell upon his knees and raised his hands as though in supplieation; the other liS» tened, and little by little the angry ex- pression on his countenance gave place to a look of pity and contempt. Then, with It gesture towards the door, he turned his back to his chair, and the strange man slunk away and disapfieared. For some time Mr. Soule remained seated by the fire, apparently 10st in thought. Then I noticed his head be- gan to droop, and he seemed to sleep agam. VHalf‘ an [hour elapsed, and then the door again opened, and I once more saw the slouehy figure peeping into the room. He listened, as if to satisfy himself that the legitimate occupant was really sleep- ing, and stole towards him on tiptoe. He stood over him for a minute or two, as though lacking the nerve to perform some contemplated dce'd. His cadaverous face assumed a still more ghastly hue; and, then he drew from his waistcoat pocket a. tiny vial, which he held to the old man’s nostril. One convulsive gasp fol. lowed, and I understood that Christian Soule came to his death by inhaling ‘I drew the identical chair in which Christian Soule had died, in front of the fire, sat down and strove to conjecture what he was thinking of when he last occupied that seat, a living man. It was a wide subject for contemplation, for it embraced the whole range of the human thought. Still, that boundless field could be narrowed down to probable limits. It was about ten o’clock in the evening when I followed the surly porter to my lodging. The night was despamtely cold, and I had stipulated for a fire, under pretext of having letters to write, and I found an economical supply of coal burn~ ing in the grate. I do not know that I can exactly ex- plain why I wished, as I certainly did, to become the occupant of that particular room. I assuredly did not expect that any of the ordinary traces of murder lingered about the floor or walls; but I was conscious of a half-defined impres- sion that invisible photographs of what scene had been enacted there might be imprinted on them; and that by some occult means or spiritual process, which I did not even try to evolve from my in- ner consciousness, they would be revealed to me. lwith, and telling Dustan that I Was em- ployed to watch a suspicious character for a day or two, I took up my quartens at the public-house before referred to. My general appearance was impeennious, and consequently, as I had hoped and anticipated, I was shown not only to the uppenfloor, but also to the room lately occupied by Mr. Soulte, which was, pro~ bably, not a favorite lodging with the, other guests of the house, who were fa- miliar with the event that had transpired. i, ‘ But I didn’t mean to kill him,’ he continued. ‘ People say he was rich, and Iâ€"â€"I wanted money. The world al'Ways suspected me, and that drove me to ruin. :I went into his room that night to beg of him, but I found him asleep; and I thought I might as well take What I wanted without disturbing; him. He I awoke, and found me tampering with his desk. I fell on my knees, and begged him not to expose me. I told him what 3 I had come forâ€"that poverty had driven me to attempt a crime, but that I would be henceforth honest if he would let me .go. I saw that he had no confidence in meâ€"«nobody ever hadâ€"but he told me to be off and fear nothing from him, That’s where he made the mistake. .He ought to have believed what I said, for I meant it ; and he brought the misfortune on himself, as any one can see. I went 1 ‘Certainly not; and I’ll tell you I’ve got some very important business with Wolfe; and as that confounded night- mare has driven all the sleep out of' me tonight, I’ve a notion to go up and have a little talk with him, if you’ll Show me the way, and we find him awake.’ ‘I don’t know about that; but I’ve heard him prow‘ing‘ about his room the best part of the night lately, and I’ve a notion that he’s in a bad way somehow. But that’s none of my business.’ The man made no objection, but at once arose and led the way back to the same floor upon which my room was situated, and stopped at a door neaer opposite to it. We could hear that some one was moving within the apartment, up and down, up and down, with a light and measured trend; and, at a. nod from me, my guide knocked. " Come, Wolfe,’ I said, aftef a brief silence, ‘ you are satisfied I suppose, that I know all about this last game of yours. What have you got; to say for yourself?’ The felloiv acfually fail préstrate on his gage, angl grovelleq at my feeth I ‘ I’ll éonfesg everything,’ he said, in a. miserable, whining voice, ‘ if you’ll try to save me.’ ‘Which I certainly shall not do,1 I answered promptly; ‘so you can say as mun-i1 01‘ _as_113nt10 as you plefia‘sgfi A ‘To speak with you, Mr. VVolf'e, on a matter of some importance.’ And, with- out waiting for an invitation, I stepped into'the room, closed and locked the door. What little color there had been in the sallow checks of the cowardly wretch dropped out of them in an instant. His underâ€"jaw fell away from its from its fol- low, and he stood staring; at me, the very picture of abject terror. A For fully five minutes I returned his gaze without speakingâ€"~a proceeding which I had found efficacious on many former occasionsâ€"and then I motioned him to a chair. He obeyed, trembling violently, but managed to reiterate, “I don’t know you. What do you want ?’ The creature started to his feet, with a low, stifled cry of agony, and darted across the room to a corner, into which he cowered like a hunted criminal at bay. I had seen many criminals, and thought I was familiar with every description of evil-deer, but this was a new variety of reprobate, and, by long odds, the mean- est specimen of human vermin I ever came across; and it was with difficulty that I could restrain the strong inclina- tion I felt to Spurn him With my boot. ‘Like enough!’ was the laconic re- sponse. ‘Oh, that’s avlittle Dutchman that’s been here on and off for a modth. His name is ‘Volfe, and he is in No. 34.’ ‘Ah, yes, that’s the name. Singular that I should have forgotten it! Is he generally stirring pretty early in the mornng ?’ ‘ 1 don": know you. Who are you ‘3’ he said with a quick, suspicious glance. ‘What do you want ?’ ‘ To knon What was in that vial you held under the nose of an old. gentlemen in a room across the passage, one night not long ago ?’ ' - But as it implied permission to proâ€" ceed, I entered into a minute description of the strange phantom I had seen With- out further delay. Th; piuml of the i'cotat'cps stand, and for a few moments all was silent. Then a strange, quavering, querulous voice inâ€" quired who was there. ‘B y the way,’ when we were comfortably seated before the glowing stove, -with something spiritual to comfort us. ‘ I was expecting to meet a party here, whose name has escaped me; but as he was rather an extraordinary looking: man, you would, perhaps, remember him if 1 should describe him, and tell me whether he was still here.’ Again there was a brief silence. Then the light measured step approached the door. It opened hositatingly.and the man I was in pursuit of stood before me. ‘ A gentleman as wants to see you par- ticular,’ the porter reisponrded. ' I mentioned nightniare as the cause of my outcry; and, although my supersti- tious friend was not deluded, he over- came his surley disposition so far as to suggest that, if I was anyways subject to that kind of Visitors, I had better come down into the bar-room, where he was on duty for the remainder of the night, and would keep me company.

A young man recently ran away from the galleys of Toulouse. He was strong and vigorous, and soon made his way across the country, and escaped pursuit. He arrived next morning before a cottage in an open field, and stopped to get some- lthing to eat, and get a refuge while he’ ll‘eposed a little. But he found the in- l mates of the cottage in the greatest dis- tress. Four little children sat tremb- ling in the corner; their mother sat coping and tearing her hair, and thc‘ lfather was walking the floor in agony.- ‘The galley-slave asked what was the matter, and the father replied than. they, were that morning to be turned out of doors because they could not pay the rent. The creature had the grace to save the‘ hangman f1 om the mortification of exerâ€" cising his art upon him; for when we next visited the cell he was stretched upon the floor, dead, and beside him Were the shivered atoms of the tiny vial; The convict listened to the tale with tears of sympathy, and said : ‘ I will give you the means.

Good morning, gentlemen.’ _ But after he was gone7 the father ask- ed a private interview With the mayor; to whom he told the whole story. The mayor was so much affected, that he not only added francs to the father’s purse, but wrote immediately to the Minister of J ustiee,be,grging the nobleyoung prisoner’s release. The minister examined into the affair, and finding that it was a comparad tivel small ofl'ence which had condemned the young man to the galleys, and that he had already served out half his term, ordered his release. " I took Wolfe to the station-house that night, where he voluntarily reduced the' above confession to writing, and signed it in the presence of my mate Dustan, who was not a little mystified as to how I had obtained a clue to the murderer. . ‘ N 0 never 1’ exclaimed the astonished listener. ‘My childern should starve a. thousand times before I would do 50‘ base a thing.’ The generous man insisted, and de- clared at last that he would go and give‘ himself up if' the father would not con- sent to take him.
