In which the gocuxiL has a Hraer circulation than all ether county papers combined. Aui\rtisers ic ill please make a note ofth Dortor Deane. The December night was bitter ©old with a blear sky a>ove, the moon and stars eniuiug brightly. Doctor Daaue sat before the Are. He was a young man of about eight and twenty years of age, with a pleasant and good looking face of florid complexion, and as yet unmar. ried. He sat, this freezing winter's night with his feet resting upon the brace fender, ain -disal book in his bands, and a pipe dangling from his mouth. The contents of the book did not seem to eutirely enchain his atten tion for every few moments he Wviuld raise his eyes and clauce up at the clock on the inauteL The cl<>ck struck twelve. "Midnight," muttered the doctor aloud. "Tue men are fully an hour behind their appointed lime. What can delay them V" The words ha I scarcely left his lips when the lell pealed loudly. Doctor Dcane laid down his book upon the table. lie u olocknd and opened the front door, and beheld tw) tno.-i standing before him in tne clear raoonligltt, carry! ug between them aoui -thin' long and heavy, which was concealed in a canvas bag. The two men immediately entered with their strange burden, and D >c tor Deane followed them iuto his private room. They laid the heavy cuivts bag upon the long table, which sto >d be hind a green baize curtiu. th it was hung by rings >n a brass bsr un xiiug from one end of the room to .another. Without uttering a word, the men slowly drew off the great big covering and a hu.utn form half nude was disci jsed ro view upon the table. "The fellow said to the last that be was the wrong .nn, sir,'' ex claimed one, winking 'tis eye, 4 'said and swore that he was innocent. Ila died like a man, sir." A moment later t.a two body bearers bade "g-wi night" to the physician, and were out in the col I street. Deane, having bolted and locked the door after tnem, ret jrued t the room, and having pushed thi green baize curtin aside to tiie wall, stood looking at the form upon the Utile vrito his hands clasped behind him. Tue bodv before him was that of a man of |>erhaps thirty years of age, well formed and a fine featured faco which even death could not rob of its manly beauty ; but a dull blue circle sUined the skin of the neck, where the noose of the hang roan had pressed, and tightened, and vet the eyes closed and unswol lOQ, gave to that dead face the ap pearance of calm reoose. A dark murder had been done tight months before. For tne crime a man had met a murderer's fate upon the s;af[old that same morning, aud there he lay this night in the room of Doctor Deane—for tiie unfortunate man bad been poor and utterly friendless in life, and so in death the body had found its way to where it now lay. For a few mkiutes Deane etoud si lently 1 Hiking at the corpse, and then he turned upon his beds, walk ed over to an open chest of dravteis, and drew out bis box of instru ments. He took up the candle, set it be side the box on the dissecting table, aud, rolling up his sleeves, opened the box and drew forth a lon ~ slim and siiarp-bladed knife. With the iirst gentle touch of the kuife upon the ctAd body, the young physician started suddenly back a step or two, and, dropping the kuife upon the floor, stared at the body before him. A slight shiver had passed through the form upon the tahte, and the cj'elids were trembling even now. Deane comprehended the truth. The man was not dead. Tie doctor immediately set to work to revive the man whom the the world believed had died upou the scaffold that same morning. His efforts were soon rewarded ; for within twenty minutes a living, breathing being sat upright on the long table, and swallowed the bran dy that Deaae held to his lips, "A live man !" said he, in a husky voice, as he g tzed about him, and then fixed his eyes upon the d ;ctor. "Taaak Odd, I was uot buried Xjire V* Deane shuddered. 44 You will not gve me np to the cruel law again ? You will not have me taken back to prison ? My God ! will you not be merciful {" 44 Yon wore found guilty of mur der, George ljeighton. You were brought to the scaff M to-d iy, and by a most clumsy mistake, were cut down before life had entirely left your b*tdy. By giving you up to the justice from which you have for a time escaped, I only do an impera tive duty,'' said Donne. 44 As lam now a living man, as there is a Heaven above, I am an innocent man I" • cried George Leighton, fervently. 44 1 never com mitted the deed of which 1 am ac cused—never, never 1 1 was con demned upja evid-mee which was ■purely circumstantial, and uo mur der rests upon my soul." Something tin the look of the man, something in his voice and manner, Taused Deane to think that, after all thisbemg might bs the victim of circumstantial evidences. 4 Don't give me up," pleaded Leighton. "Dm't let them kill im in earnest. Give me my freedom. - Allow me to lerve this place a frea man, and the mercy winch you will show to an unfortunate mm this night ahall ever remain as close as - cret with me as with you. You may live to bless the hour when such mercy was shown you : for it the old saying that "murder will out" Wits ever a prophetic one, it shall 06 in my case, doctor. I say again, I am an innocent man ; and the time will come when you and all the world sh ill be firmly convinc ed of the fact." "I will be merciful. I do not know why it is, but I am strangely forced to believe your decliration that you are an innocent man. I have an old suit of clothes here.— Arise and dress yourself, and let the coming of another nig it see you up on f he ocean. Remember faithfully the belief I have in you, and never abuse the mercy Thus shown you," The man, descending from the table, fell upon hit bare knees be fore the young d.ieUic. Tiie clock struck the hour of two in the morning as a man, wrapped up almost to the very eyes, paased out from the warmth and shelter into the fierce coldness of the silent ptreet. And D.KJfor Deane, sitting before the fire, a-ked himself again and again, whether he had done right or wrong in allowing that man to go forth free. Seven years passed. It was Christmas day. In tiie high room of a miserable. I proverty stricken old house, situate-* j in a narrow, dirty street, not fa from the watei-sids, atn tu sat b the tiedside of his wife and child. The woman and child were asleep, and on their thin, pinched faces tip stamp of poverty and privation w.us plainly disee nable. Tl is haggard looking man who s; t there gazing at the tw > beings up m the bed was D ctor Daue. Six years before he had married, and thinking that a splendid oppor tunity lay before him to m ike monev and reputation in a distant city, the young doctor with his wife had set forth full of the brightest hopes. The money acquired by the prac tice of Ins profession was one day . wallowed up in a speculation which bad held out the gayest promise of success. He was penniless ; sickness came ui*n his wife andclrfld, and the doc tor found himself a ruined man. Back came all three, hush mi, wife and child—the two latter ill anu suffering. Without money, and consequent ly without friends, Doctor Dean ami his small family took lodgings in the wretched old house. Mi s. Deane a voke and looked at her h ns! >and. "You have returned," she mur mun-d, in a whisper, lest she should awake the sleeping child. "Oh have you succeeded, dear ?" "Sfo, E nraa. d ialing," answered tiie d KJtor, hi s eyes dim with tears, "I have not succeeded. The friends whom I helped with money in my prosperous days rifus dto 1 -nd me a single dollar." The wife dropied her head upon the pillow, and a flood of tears came to her eyes. 44 Heaven help us, Wilford, this Christmas day. when all the world but-Hsis merry," she sighed. "God aid as and oar child. Oh, how want and poverty are thrusting us down!" Deane bowed his face In his liands and sat silent and almost desparing ly, while his wife sank once more in to merciful sleep. Half an hour passed ; at the end of that tin* a low konok cine at the door, and the doctor opened it. A man entered the room, and he was muffled up so closely that hard ly more than bis eyes could be seen. •'You are Doctor Deane ?" he said slowly. Yes, I am," replied the physi cian. The "man suddenly oaught the hand of Deane and shook it warmly. The strange mau's next move ment was to draw out fro n under bis eloak a small tin box and folded 4 newspaper both of which he handed fc> the wondering doctor. 44 Before yod open the box, sir, which is not locked," said the stran ger, "you roust read the marked piece ( f news on the first page of that paier. And now. Doctor Deane, good-night and guod-hye." laying the box upon the table, Dcane hurriedly opened the paper, at the first glance beheld the marked article, and with a beating heart reml the following piece of news : "A DYING MAN'S CONFESSION. — Hiram Wood, an aged man, passed away last evening, and two lirurs before that event he made a terrible confession. In this confession he declared himself a .murderer ; said that he alone w;is the man wtio com mitted the dark deed some seven or eight years ago, and for which crime a young mau, named George Leigh t n died upou'the scaffold, sent there by what then appeared to he the strongest circumstantial evidences." The newspaper fell from Doctor Deaue's quivering hands, he pulled open the tin box and saw a folded sheet of paper lying on the top of something firm and heavy. And this is what he read : DEAR DOCTOR DEANE.—YOU are now convinced that the man who swore to you that lie was 'nuocent, seven years ago, fqioke God's holy truth. I glorv in the thought that in this, your dark hour. I can be of service to you. In the tin box you will find the sum of ten thousand dollars, a present from him who owes you his life. Blush not to take it, for it was all procured honestly. As much more money is at your dis posal. When the morrow comes 1 shall pav you and your family a pleasant visit, when we can chat to gether and be joyful. 44 From your lif 1 nig debtor." "GEORGE IIKIGIITON." The contents of tho box weie emptied out ujion the table. Dtetor Deine instantly awoke iioth wife and child to hear the hap py tidings. The si;k wife and child of the doctor rapidiy recovered, and IX-ane Ik-came a rich and prosperous physi cian. m ■ Life llliistra ed.
