The point at which the body was found is l a lonely and somewhat isolated spol on tlicil outskirts of Astoria. It is just opposite the northern point of Blackwell's island and about a quhrtcr of a. mile. up Sunswick creek. which makes up from the river, at first in a deep channel, and ilicn spreads itself over the dreary meadow lands that reach lo the banks of the Duton Kills. The n hole valley. which is several miles long and a half mile wide, is a frankch waste, interspersed with rank, wild grass, slimy pools, and treacher- ous ferns. ' it belongs to the Stale, but uotli» iiig 'ha’s‘hccn done to reclaim it, and if is tilninned. It is a land of quicksand. of only mud pools, and tangled hogs, and it is said that no one-who ever ventured upon it sur- face escaped with his life. At one time, years ago, the sea covered the whole land and it was navigable, and the fidc ebl‘cd and flowed liille'illlJ‘Ollt‘fl. But since the construc- tion of the. causeway the. water has been par. tially resisted and the back country has become a dreary waste. On the Astoria side i of the‘ causeway is an old wooden flour mill in ruins, and at its base the remains of a flood-gate helps to keep, hack the tide. The gate is regulated by the flow of the water, allowing the. tide to rush out at low water and preventing it from flowing in at high. The. tide rises to a great height, sometimes seven or eight feet, and when it is pouringin it would be impossible to imagine a more perilous situation than that in the meadows on either side of the causeway.

A feeling of regret for the. untimely fate of be. Breton, whom I regarded rather as a weak dupe. than a purposcd rascal, passed, over my mind as I read the announcement. in the. newsj'lapcix'; but nci 'cr events had almost jcstled the in- cidents connected with his name from my rcinenilicrance. when a terrible adventure vividly rccallcd them, and taught me how fierce and unfanicablc are the instincts of ' f ‘ovcntry street on an errand with some money painful apprehensions whenever I happened to be unexpectedly detained from home. The brief glimpse I had of the baulked as- ;‘ssin afforded no reasonable. indication of his identity. To be sure he ran at an amaz- ‘ ing and unusual pace, but this was a qualifi- tion possessed by so many of the. light-legged as well as light-fingered gentry of my pros fes 'onal acquaintance, that it could not justify even a random suspicion ; and ] determined to forget the unpleasant incident as soon as possible. , The third evening after this occurrence l was again passing along Leie‘estcr Square at a somewhat late hour, but this time. with all my eyes about me. Snow, which the wind blew sharply in oiic‘s face, was falling fast, ‘and the. cold was intense. Except myself. and a fallish, snow-wreathed figure a wo man apparently ~not a living being we. to be. seen. 'l'his figure, which was standing still at the further side of the square, up“ peared to be awaitingr me, and as lrdrcw near it, threw back the hood of a cloak, and to my great surprise disclosed the features of a Madame Jaubcrt. This lady, some years before, had carried on, not very far from the spot where. she now stood. a respectable millinery busines. She. was a widow with one child, a daughtc 'about seven years of age. Marie Louise, she was named, was oiic unfortunate day sent to S in her band, and lli'\!:1‘ returned. The inquiries set on fool proved utterly without effect : not the slightest intelligence of the fate of the child was obtained and llic grief and distraction of illl‘ brreaicd mo» flier resulted in iclilpoi‘lll.’ insanity. She was confined in a lunatic asylum for seven or eight months, and when pronounced (wilful (-sccnf, found herself hon clc:-s, and almost pciinilcrs, in the World. This sad story I had heard from one of the. keepers of the asylum during her sojourn tlici It was a subjch she herself never, l was aware, touched upon; and she had no reason to suspect that I was in the slightest degree informed of this melancholy pass' . in her life. She, why. l know not, changed her name from that of lluquesne to the one she now bore .laubcrt ; and for the last two or three years had supported a precari- ous existing by plausible begging letters ad- dressed to persons of credulous benevolence : for which offence she had frequently visited the police. eoui'ls at the instance of the secre- tary of the Mcndici y Society, and it was there I had wiiscqncnlly made ilt'l‘:lltllll:lilll.« anec. "Madame .laubcrf . exclaimed, with uiifci ,ucd surprise. “why, what on earth can you be waiting here for on such a night as this “ To see you I" was her curl. reply. “ To see. me.

" “There can be no doubt. about that," I answered. “Then follow inc, and before fen Xllilllll.l‘rl are past you will have secured your main I did so cautiously, suspiciously; for my adventure three evenings before had i‘cii- fll'i’l'll inc unusually circumspect and watch- ful. She led the way to the most crowded quarter of St. (liles ., and when she had reached the entrance of a dork. blind alley, called Ilinc‘s (‘ourt. turned into if, and beck- oned me to follow. “ Nay, nay, Madame .laubert,” 1 ex- claimed, “ that wont do. You mean fairly, I dare say : but I don‘t enter that respectable alley alone at this time of night." She stopped, silent and embarrassed. scntly she said, with : snccr, afraid, I suppose “ Yes, I am." “ “bat is to be. done, then?" she added, after a. few moments consideration. “He is alone, I assure you.‘V “That is possible; still I do not cuter that (whims-tic fo-nigbt uiiaccoinpauicd save by you." “ You suspect inc. of sonic evil design, Mr. Waters ‘1” said the woman with an accent of l‘re- “ You are I and she presscd me for furtliei particulars, Was :‘xrmsti‘ong- a drinking, a gaming, or a r playgomg man 2’ her face as one or two indications were men tioned.

It came; she was as far off as ever: and I advised her to waste no further time in the. pursuit, but at once endeavlir to regain a position of respectability by the exercise. of industry in the trade or business in which , she was reputedly well-skilled. Madame ‘.Iaubcrt laughed scornfully; and a “loam, it seemed to nic, of her never entirely subdued insanity shot out from her deeprse flashing eyes. It was finally settled lhaf I should meet her once more at the. same place at about eight o’clock the next. evening. .I arrived somewhat late. at the appointed rendezvous, and found Madame .Iaubcrl in a slate of manifest excitement and impatience.

Madame.laubcrt knochd ‘ in a peculiar manner at the door. which presently opcncd by a wom::n. “ Mr. Brown still within .laubcrt asked in a low voice. “ Yes; what do you want \\ ilh him “ I have. brought a geriilcman who will Is most likely be. a purchaser of some of the goods he has to dispose of."

In- stantly as she did so, I heard a. rustle just behind me two quick and violent blows descended on the back of my head, flicrc. was a flash before my eyes, . suppressed shout of exuliation rangr in my tars, and I fell insensible to the ground. it was some lime. on partially recovering my senses, before I could realize either what had occurred, or the situation in which ll found myself. Hradually. however, the fi» dents attending the artfully prepared treach ] cry of Madame .laubcrt grew info distinct ncss, and I pretty well comprehended my present position. I was lying at the. bottom of a cart, blindfold, gagged, handcuffed, and cov- ered over by what, from their smell, seemed to be empty corn sacl '. The vehicle w moving a \cry rapid rate, and judg‘ from the roar and tumult without. lbi'oag one. of the busiest tlioioughfz res of London. 1. id It was Saturi y evening; and I thought, from the character of the. noiscs, and life tone. of a clock just chiming fen. that we \vcrc in 'I‘ottculiam (‘ourt lload. I endeavored to rise, but found, as I might have expected, that it was iliipossilile to do so, my captors having secured me to the. floor of the cart by strong cords.

A tumultuous throng of images swept oonfuscdly past, of which the most constant and frequent were the faces of my wife and younu' st child, whom I had k' ed in his: slccpjust previous to my leaving home.

A robbery of plate had been committed in l‘orfman Square with an ingenuity and bold- ness which left no doubt that it had been cf» fected by clever and practised hands. The detective. ofiiccrs first employed having failed to discover the ofl'cndcrs, the threads of the imperfect and broken clue were placed in my hands, to see if my somewhat renowned dex- terity, or luck, as many of my lirother-fillicers preferred calling it, would enable me to piece them out to a satisfactory conclusion. ly the description obtained of a man who . had been seen lurking about the house a few days previous to the burglary, it had been gafion that one Martin, a fellow with half a dozen allows, and a well-known traveller on the. road to the hulks, was concerned in the affair : and by their advice a'reward of fifty pounds had been offered for his apprehension and conviction. l prosecuted the iiiqniry with my usual energy and watchfuluess, with- out aligbtiiig upon any new fact or intima' lion of importance. i could not discover that a singlc articl of the. missing property had been either pawned or offered for sale. and little doubt remained that the crucible had fatally diminished the chances of detection. The only hope was, that an incr acted reward might induce one of the gang lo betray his confcdcratcs; and as the property was of large value, this was done, and one hundred guincas promised for the required information. i had been to the printers: to order the placards announcing the increased recomâ€" pense; and after indulging in a long gossip with the foreman of the establishment. whom I knew well, was pa 11g at about a. quarter past ten o‘clock through llydcr's (‘ourt, Newâ€" port Market, where a tall man met and passed mc swiftly, holding a handlwrchief to his face. There was nothing remarkable in that, bitterly cold and slccfy ; and I walked unheedingly on. I was just in the act of pa. ing out of the court towards Leicester Squaic, when swift steps sounded suddenly >bt‘llillfl inc. l in~ stinctivcly turned : and as I did so, received a violentblow on the. left shoulder intended I doubted not for the nape of my neck from the tall individual who had passed inc :1 min» ufc previously. ,r\s he. still held the hand- l'.ei‘cliieffo his face, J did not catch even a momentary "llllll't‘ at his fea‘iurcs, and he ran off v. ilh surprising speed.

I The wound, \\ hicli was not at all serious, I had dressed at a chemist's shop in the Hay- market : and as proclaiming the attack would do nothing towards detecting the perpetrator of it, I said little about it to any one, and managed to conceal it entirely from my wife, to whom if would have suggested a thousand reproach. “ I thought you might, and yet nothing can be further from the truth. My sole. object is to obtain the reward, and cs 'ape from this life of misery and degrada- tion to my own country, and if possible be. gin the world rcspecfably again. \Vhy should you doubt mo": “ llow came you acquainted with thisrob. hens haunts ‘1“ “ The explanation is easy, but fliis is not the time for if.

The next day Martin proved an alibi of the distinetcst, most undeniable kind. Ile had been an inmate of t‘lerkcnwcll prison for the last three. months, with the exception of just six days previous to our capture of him ; and lie was of course at once discharged. The reward was payable only upon conviction of the offender, and the disappointment of poor Madame .laubert was extreme. She. wept. bitterly at the thought of being compelled to continue her present disrepu- table mode of life, when a thousand francs a sum she believed Martin's capture would have assured her besides suflicient for her traveling expenses and decent outfit, would, she said, purchase a partnership in a small but respectable iiiillincry shop in l‘aris. “ \Ycll,” l remarked to her, “there is no reason for despair, You have not only proved your sincerity and good faith, but that. you possess a knowledge how acquired you best know of the haunt.»l and hiding places of burglars. “ The reward, as you may have seen by the new Illllf'ill'(l>, has been doubled ; and I have, a strong opinion, from something that has reached me this morning, that if you could light upon onc Armstrong, alias llowdeii, it would be as certainly yours as if already in your pocket.” “ Armstrong llowdcn I” repeated the no man \\ ilh anxious simplicity: “ I never heard cillierof these names.

I met her as agreed. She could obtain. she said. iioinfclligruce of any reliable. worth; away into a silence only broken by the inni- ble of the cartâ€"wheels, and the subdued talk of the driver and his companions. of whom there appeared to be two or three.

This effected an authoritative voice the now distinct recognition of which thrilch me with dismay ordered that I should be unblinded. it was done: and when my eyes he ‘aine somewhat accustomed to the sudden- ly-dazzling light and glare, I saw llevasscur and the clerk Ilubarle standing directly in front of me, their faces kindch info flame by fiendish triumph and delight.

Mr. Applcgarili, of flic'llcnayrouzc lliving (‘ompanyy who has bceii in charge of the diving operations at the wreck of the Vanguard. was present, and from his state- incnf the depth in which the ship is lying is teen minutes under water. ,\iiy scheme, therefore, which involves the performance of much diving work may therefore be disinisv sod at once as impracticable. If: is a great merit in Mr. llilloi . plan that it'woilld rc- quirc the minimum of such difficult and dan- gerous duty. lillt iy slalcd. the plan proposed is the expulsion of ihc water from the Vanguard by ' compr cd air, supplemented by f‘l';.‘ll31l llillt‘flill the wafer. an.l by :M‘am jets», the details of which not being, r‘r‘i'lli'cd could not be it\pl.iiiied. To illus. irate the principle, c\pirinicnf¢: were jif‘i‘~ formed with common air, in one case with air compressed 1o fifteen atmospheres, but in the majorin of instances by merely blowing with lbw moulh fbrougb an India rubber tube into the object to be. raised from the bottom of gla :. cylinders and case: on a. table. It has demonstrated that a small cylindrical fin ease pierced full of holes and v. illl llllf' Jlllll oil, would be raised iii the Hill‘- favc by forcibly blowing air info if, and the same result was obtained with a model fin ship purposely scuttled, with a small glass cup. and even with a moch of an open tin boat which had Io lift much more than its own weigbl of attached tubing. The main evpcrinienf of fhc evening was raising a moch about four feet, and a. half in it made of metal, scuttled to represent the injury to the Vanguard, and with opcli hafchwaj, which was .‘Illili in seven feet of wafer. This was connected by tubing with a cylinder conlai ing‘ air compressed to fif- tccn £1lllllis])lll,§i‘f£>¢, and on turning the valve lbe vcs-u-l at once ‘Jlliif.’ to the surface, the urc of air ghad iiniubbczl ibree atmospheres in the opera- lllf‘llfis lli gm gen f l . l To kccp a \. .::-cl afloat ailer she. has been raised. Mr. Ilillon proposes to cover her with huge sheet either of waterproof cloth or «.vcn of s i] cloth, the connections between the. cylinder of compressed airpassing through the centre of this sheet, ()n filling the vessel with air she would rise rapidly in the middle of the envelope, which would first adhere closely from the pressure of the water while coming to the surface. and then, on the ship toppling over, hill ..\.'.5 wrapped round her and her afloat. l‘lxpcriincnlally the thing looked feasible enough, the question being whether when applied on the gigantic. riclllc nee. ry to raise. the Yanguard, if. would be pr .tticablc. The inventor, in reply to a question, expressed the opinion that dozen well~fesfrd boilers would contain all the coniprcssml air necessary for displacing the 5,000 tons of water which may be taken :m at present filling the sunken ship.

Concerning L Anoibcr convenience which you cannot afford, if you have need to save anything, is that of keeping an open account with your butcher, your bake or anybody else.

He has the use of another man's money and must pay interest on it. And this he does, whether the item appears in his weekly or monthly or qua rly bill or not. interest is charged in ovii case, even though the tradesman himself he uncon. :ious of the fact, as he very often is. His experience has taught him what percentage he must add to the cost of his goods to make. a living profit, and in determining this, experience, has duly included iiilcresf upon outstanding bills as one of the factors in the problem. A second reason for aioidiiig bills. is found in flu fact that you are wclbnigh certain to buy a good deal more when you buy upon credit than when you payeash. The trades men all know this, and it is l'orprecisely this i'e‘ son that they take the risk incident to time salt... The evi‘ra purchases which cus- tomers buying upon credit are sure to make. constitute the inducement to the mode of doing business. When you must pay for everything you buy at the time of buying, you are constantly and farciny impressed with the c )sflincss of the articles purchased, as you never can be if the payment be post- poned, and so the cash buyer scrutinize" the wants to be supplied, much more surely and much more sharply than his neighbor who purchases upon credit is apt to do. The. amount of cash you have,wif you owe noth- ing, 7 is an evict measure of your ability to purchase. : and as the whole. science of economy and thrift cons. of buying some- what less than you can ailbrd, it will be seen at a glance that even without the other con- siderations urged this one fact should be. an allâ€"sullicient argument against the. practice of “running bills.“ You have no right, in justice to yourself and your family, to buy anything you cannot afford, and if you have not the money with \\ hich to pay for anything, you cannot afford to buy if. It is, in the last degree, unwise, to charge upon a fulurc, which is likely to have burdens enough of its own to bear, any responsibility for the present. and erpecially for present extravagance, and every purchase. you make beyond your present ability to pay. is an extravagant one. ~ The necessity of paying cash for every article. bought, cannot be too strongly insisted upon. Saving is well-nigh impossible, where. this rulc is violated. In cnfoi‘ccnicnt if may require a pretty sharp selfalcnial, but that is the very best possible. evidence that its cu- forccmcnf is needed, and in the end, the cash buyer is sure. to live better than he I hardly need explain that I have referenci- here only to the purchase of articles of con- sumption. If is no part of my purpose-lo discuss the system of credit which obtains in lhc connncrcial world. and which is you crnml by laws of ifs own. 4- 40». -pâ€" .-'\‘. i gcnious adding card has been in. vented by Mr. (lusfavus Frankenstein.
