FROM TtIB'KXPBMKMCK OF A BARRISTER.
Dinner had Jftieri over about half'pn honr one Sat- 1
; urd*y afternoon—the only day on which. for years I
had;beoii able to enjoy u dinner—and 1 was leisure*
ly’'PPM’S a glass-of wine, when.'u earring© drove
rapidly up to thd door, a load rat tat fallowed, and
my friend Dr. Curlcis, to my great surprise,' was an
nounced.
*•1 have .called, 1 * said the doctor arwc shook hands,
.to ask you to accompany me to Mount Place, i
have just received a hurried note from-Miss Armi*
• lage, elating that her mother; alter a very brief ill
ness, is rapidly sinhing,and requesting my attendance,
as well as that of a legal gentleman, immediately.**
“ Mrs. Armilage J" 1 exclaimed, 'inexpressibly
■hocked. “ Why, it is scarcely more Hum a fort*
night ago that 1 mol her at the Rockford's in brilliant
health and spirits.'* .
•• Even so. But you will accomptny me? 1 don't
know whcTdto find any one clm for tho moment,
and lime presses." .
" It is an attorney, probably, rather than a barris.
(cr, that is needed; but ondei the circumstances, and
- knowing her as 1 do I cannot hesitate."
• .Wo wore soon at a rapid pace, end
in litllo more than on hour reached the dyhqp lady's
in the county of Essex, and dis
tunt'aboul ten miles from London. We entered to
gether; and Dr. Cmteis, leaving me In the library,
proceeded at onoo to the sick chamber. About tun
minutes afterwards, the housekeeper, a tail foreign
looking, and rather handsome woman, dime into the
room, and announced lh.it the doctor wished (•> see
mo. Slio was deadly pale, and, I observed, trembling
like an aspen. I motioned her to proceed me; and
■he, with unsteady steps, immedi itoly led the way. '
So great was her agitation, (hut twice, in ascending ,
the stairs, she only saved herself from falling by <
grasping tho banister rail* The passage I drew from I
the exhibition of such overpowering emnliou, by a i
person whom 1 Ijncw (o have been long nut only in
the service, but in the confidence of Mrs. Armiugu,
was soon confirmed .by Dr, Curteis, whom we met
coming out of the clumber of the expiring 'patient.
'“Step this'way," said ho. Addressing me,, and
loading to an adjoining apartment. “We do not
require your attendance, Mrs. Bourdon," said ho, as
soon as we re ichvd it, to the housekeeper, who had
swiftly followed us, and now stood staring with ea
ger eyas in tho doctor's ficc, as if life and death
hung on her lips. “Have tho goodness to leave ns,"
lie uddud tartly, porcoving she did not stir, but con
tinued her fearful, scrutinising glinco. She started
«l his altered lone, flushed crimson, then paled to a
chalky whiteness, and muttering, left tho apartment.
“ Thu danger of her mistress has bowijdcrcdher,"
t romarkefl.
“Perhaps so, remarked Dr. Curfels, <• Bo that os
it may, Mrs. Armilage Ishcyond all human help,—
In on another hour she will be, as we say, no more."
“ E feared so. Wh tl is the nature of her disorder?"
“ A rapid wasting away, ns lam informed. The
appearances presented arc those of a person expiring
of atrophy, or extreme cniacUll in."
** Indeed. And so sudden 100 I"

—a neighboring attorney having performed Ilia ne

souno of the life of iM iry Rtwdon, whom you and 1
twenty years ago worshiped as ono of the gentlest
and most beautiful beings with which the Creator
over graced his universe. It will bo a peaceful part

Just as, with nniscless step wo entered the silent
chamber, the list rajs of the setting sun were full-,
ing upon the figure of Eilen Armit»ge—who knelt
In speechless agony by the bedside of her expiring
parent—and faintly lighting up (ho pale, emaciated,

Mrs. Armitage! Hut fur the inutfaoablu splendor ol

Ellen, interrupted only by her blinding tears, ma

Its holiness of sorrow. Night oame with all her UXin;

Mrs. Bourdon was now called in. After interchange

ine, of affectionate intelligence with her son, sho

Aa Boon db blio ' was removed, :Jano Withers was
called. She deposed that three day* previously, as
she was, just bofuie dark, arranging some linen iij a
room a distant from (tie bedroom of her
Lite mistress, k.h&Wtis surprised at hearing a noise
just outside the door, as if persons struggling and
speaking in low but earnest tones. She drew-osido
a corner of the injislin curtain of (ho window which
looked upon the fiaspngo or corridor, umTllicre saw
Mrs, Rourdon striving to wreet'somcthihg from her
son’s hand. She heard Mrs. Rourdon says, ” You
shall not do U, or you shall not have it”—she could
not be sure which.' A noise of some sort seemed to
I olarni'-lhcm; they- coascd'-slruggling and ' listened
attentively for a few seconds; then Alfred Bourdon
stole, off on lip-toe, leaving llio object of dispute
behind, which witness could not sen distinctly, in
his mothers hand. Mrs. Bourdon continued to listen!
and presently Miss Armitdge; opening the door of
her mother’s chamber, Called her,-by name. ’ She
immediately' placed what was 1 in her hand on the
marble lop of o side table standing in the corridor,
ond’hnslcncd to Miss Armitngc. Witness left the
room she had been in n few minutes afterwards, and
curious to know what Mrs. Bourdon and. her son hud
been struggling for, went to the table to look at it.
It was an oddly shaped glass bottle,' containing'u
good dcuj oi blackish ‘gray powder, which, os she
,C u *r lo - l fr a n « ! ‘V. looked like black-lead !’>
“ Would you bo able to svvour lo the buttle if you

“Certainly I should.” *
” By what mark or token ?”
M p ,e name of Vulpy or Vulpy was ca&l Into ft—
that is, the name was iu the glass Itself.”
•* Is this it ?
“Ills: I swear most positively/* '
A letter was also read which hud'been taken from
. Bourdon*#,pooketii, It \vas^-inucU. joreueedr nnd 4
proved to bo in the hand writing of Mrs! Armilage.
It consisted of a severe rebuke at the young man’s
presumption in seeking (o address himsell lo her
daughter, which insolent ingratitude, the writer said,
sho should never, wi.ilst she lived, cither forget or
foigivc. last sentence was strongly underlined
in a different ink from that used by the writer of thu
letter. ' *
Tho surgeon deposed-to (ho cause of the death —-
It had been brought un by tho action of iodine,
which, administered in certain quantities, produced
symptoms ol rapid atrophy, such us had appeared in
Mrs. Armitage. Tho glass botllu found la the recess
contained iodine in a pulverised stale.
■ 1 deposed that, on entering the library on tho pre
vious evening, 1 overheard young Bourdon, address
ing his mother, suy, ” Now that it Udom> it is past
recall, I will not shrink from any consequences, be
they what they niuy !V
This wus the substance of the evidence adduced;
and the magistrate at once committed Alfred Bour
don to Chelmsford jail, to lake his (rial at the next
asalzo lor “ wilful murder.*'. A Coroner’s inquisi
tion a few days after also returned a verdict of “a il
lul murder” .against him on the sumo evidence.
About an hour after his commitul, and just previ-,
ons to (he arrival of tho vehicle which wus to convey
him to (ho county prison, Alfred Bourdon 'requested
an interview with me. ,1 very reluctantly consent- 1
cd; but steeled as 1, was against him, 1 could hull
avoid feeling dreadfully shucked at the change which
so brief an Interval had wrought upon him. It had
I done the work of years. Despair—black; niter de
spair—was written In every lineament of his expres
sive countenance. .
”1 have requested to see you," said the unhappy
culprit,‘ rolliOf limn Dr. Cartels, because ho, 1 know,
is bitterly prejudiced against mo. But you will tioL
refuse, 1 think, the solemn request of a dying man—
lor a dying man I feel mysoil to be—however long
or short (ha i/ilcrvul which stands between me and
the scaffold. It is not with n childish hope that any
assertion of mine cun avail before the tribunal ofllic
law against the evidence adduced this day, that I,
with all the solonuiiiy befitting a man whoso days
arc numbered, declare In you that I am, wholly in.
noeent of the crime laid lo my.charge. 1 have no
sneli expectation; I seek only that you, in pity of
my youth and untimely Pule, should convey to her'
whom 1 have madly presumed to worship tills mes
sage: *Alfrtd Bourdon wus mud, but not blood
