About twenty years ago, the health of Mr. Edward L—, an English clergy man, beipg in a precarious condition, a moral and physical languor—that grave English malady which comes we know not how or why—he decided to cross the Channel and seek under a milder sky the pure air and sunshine which he needed. One fine day he embarked for France. He stopped some days at Eouen. Every morning he made a little trip in the su burbs, carrying under his arm a volume of Dante. One afternoon he climbed Mount St. Catherine, and seating him-' self on the grass, began to run over some pages of the Divina Comedia. At this moment, a stranger, who had also climb ed the hill, approached him and asked of him in English, with the greatest cour tesy, permission to .converse with him a moment. “ X wish, .to perfect myself In your lan guage,” said he, smilingly, “ and I seize the opportunity to talk every time X meet an Englishman.” They talked a little about every thing— the weather, Dante, religion and politics. The Frenchman was well instructed and very amiable. He informed Mr. L that he was one of - the physicians of Bouen. learning this, the young min ister related his case to him and asked his advice. The doctor examined him carefully,- and wrote him a prescription. They de scended together to Bouen, where they separated, one to go and pay his visits to his patients, the other to enter an apoth ecary shop. Next day Mr. Edward found himself better; the doctor's prescription had done him much good. lie had gained more strength in one hour than during a mouth of previous treatment. He wished to thank the doctor, and re proached himself besides with having of fered him nothing in return for his con sultation. He went again instinctively to Mount Saint Catherine. A moment after he was rejoined by the Frenchman. They both burst out in joyous laughter, and pressed each other’s hands as though they were old acquaintances. , “You have saved my life, doctor,” said Mr. Edward, warmly. Then he touched timidly the question of money. The doctor closed his mouth •at the first word; declaring himself am ply renumerated by the success of his pre scription and the joy of his patient. “Doctor,” said Mr. Edward, “I am an Englishman, and consequently I do not like the weight of an obligation; can I not be of use to you in some way? I start to-morrow, at one o'clock in the morn ing, for Paris, and I am at your service.” After a moment’s reflection, the doctor said; ■ 1866. “ I have many patients under treatment at my house. Among them is a very rich demoiselle, whose ideas are a little deranged. I think I shall succeed in sa ving her. Unfortunately, since about a month she has taken into her head to re turn to Paris. I have employed all means to dissuade her, but without success. I see that there will be neither truce nor repose until her caprice is satisfied. I have put off the journey with her from day to day, because I have many patients in the city which it is difiioult, impossi ble even, for. me to leave, were it only for a single day." , . Edward L saw that he had been a little too fast. But how could ho draw back now.” . „ “Diable,” said he, “a demoiselle,.and crazy in the bargain.” "Never mind that.” said the doctor, smiling; “this demoiselle is in her for ty-sixth spring, and, furthermore, your word crazy is perhaps a little exaggera ted. In any l case, her madness, if mad ness it is, is of the mildest form. I give you my word of honor that In this respect he will give you no trouble.” 1 b“ Well/so be.it! Boat one o’clock in the morning.” “ Perhaps yes, perhaps no; the hour is a little material. X am not sure that the demoiselle will bo ready.” . While they were talking thus they reached the gates of the city. Before sep arating. the doctor handed his card to Edward L—. . “And now ctw revotr till to-morrow morning, or perhaps adieu; it is quite possible that we shall hot see each other again.” Mr. L watched the departing doctor with an embarrassed air. The idea of ta king a mad woman to Paris was not a very smiling one. He glanced at the. card and read: Doctor de La Belle, rue Antoine, No. 12. . .. . Mr. L happened to be close to this very street, and curiosity led him to it. — No. 12 was a fine house, with a brilliant door-plate, on which could be read: Doc tor de La Belle. Arrived at his hotel, he asked the wait er if he knew M. de Da Belle. “ I think I do, Monsieur; he is the pest physician in Bouen.” : At one o’clock in the morning, Mr. foietoi A NEW VERSION. li was promenading anxiously in the waiting room of the depot. M. do La Belle did not appear. The English min ister was rubbing his bands with a great sigh of satisfaction, when he felt himself touched on the shoulder; it was the doc tor. A lady dressed in black was seated on the bench, with a thick veil over her face. Mr. L kept up a good heart against his ill luck. “I have taken awholecoupe,” said the doctor to him, “so that you will not be incommoded by other travelers. Here is Mademoiselle’s purse; perhaps she may need something;. here is her ticket, also, which you will have the goodness to show to the employee. I telegraphed to Paris, last evening, to the relatives of Ma demoiselle, begging them to send a car riage to the train when it arrived. I have told you that she is as gentle as a dove; if she should have a moment of weakness, you have only to give her a lump of sugar moistened with two drops of this syrup.” And he handed him a little vial, with the purse and ticket. During this time he had lifted the demoiselle somewhat roughly into the car. He remained there till the last moment, warmly thanking Mr. L . Finally the bell rang, the minister entered the coupe, coming out again soon, and exclaiming— “ What a strong odorthere is in there!” “It is nothing," said the doctor: "it is a bottle of Eau de Cologne, which I broke in helping Mademoiselle to enter thecar.” The train started; Mr. L placed himself at the back'end, where he was separated from demoiselle in black by a box of flowers. He tried to open conver sation, but seeing that she did not reply, he arranged himself for a nap. He awoke several times; the demoiselle, always with her veil down over her face, remain ed motionlesss. At last they reached Paris. “-Mademoiselle,” said the clergyman, “ be good enough to wait a moment; I will go aud call the coachman who is waiting for you.” He looked a long while, but in vain.— He could find no one who had come for a demoiselle from Rouen. He returned, much vexed, to the demoiselle, when, to his great stupefaction, ho saw an anxious crowd surrounding his car. He advanced. “Is it you who came in this coupe?” demanded a policeman. “Yes.” "Do you know that lady is dead ? It is more than four hours since she ceased to live. You have poisoned her with prussic acid!” The clergyman was horror struck. Ho sought to discu ipate himself with all the energy of an honest man, but his story sounded like a tale, it was so improbable. They searched him, and found upon him the lady’s purse, and the vial, which con tained prussic acid! Mr. Edward L , brushed down, half mad, allowed himself to be led to prison without offering the slightest resistance. “ Take me to Rouen,” said the prison er. “ I will unmask the wretch. He will not dare to deny it before me.” Two policemen in citizens’ dress and some other employees of the’ department took a car with him, and they arrived at Eouen. Mr. L was sure that the as sassin would tremble at the sight of him alone. "When they entered Dr. La Belle's house he was out, but would soon return. An hour after, he entered the room where they were waiting for him. Mr. L—-trembled from head.to foot. It was not the man he had met on Mount Saint Catherine! “ It. was not Dr. La Belle!” cried he, seeing an abyss open before him, the depths of which he could not sound. “It was a lie! The man was not Dr. La Belle!” Alas! they must give in to the evi dence. The clergyman had been the vic tim of the most diabolical trap imagina ble. They returned to Paris. ■ Some weeks passed. The agent of the police, who had particular charge of him, soon satisfied himself that he was inno cent. Mr. L was then removed to a house —he never knew what one or where —but where he could read and write. The day after his new incarceration, a man entered his chamber, made him put on a suit of black, and begged him to fol low him. At the door was an open ca leche, and they took the direction of the Champs Elysees. “Look well at everybody,” said his mysterious companion. . Mr. L looked with all his eyes, but he saw nothing but promenaders on foot and in carriages. The next day, when he entered the caleche, he was surprised to see a large white dog crouching on the mat at the driver’s feet. Ho did not un derstand the mystery at first, but it was explained to him' afterwards. At the time the crime was committed, between Bouen and Paris, a white dog, without an owner, had been found in the former city. The police sent him to Paris at once. On the day of which we are speak ing, two lost dogs were advertised on the fourth page of the journals, one at Vangi rard, the other at Passy. It was to those places that Mr. L went with the offi cer. But it was in vain. Days passed away thus; nothing was discovered. One evening the agent of the police told him to accompany him to a ball, and cave him a costume of an officer of Spahees (Turkish horse soldiers.) The clergyman made some objections, but was obliged to yield. The carriage deposited them at the foot of a staircase of a very fine hotel, where they were received by footmen. — There was a grand ball that night, and the saloon was filled with persons who appeared to Mr. L to belong to the best society of Paris; for that matter he might be convinced on hearing the names of the guests as announced by the valets. He was presented to the mistress of the house, Madame la Comtessede I** , who received him very graciously. He con versed a great part of the evening with her son, and retired at an advanced hour without having seen anything. Another week passed. The following Saturday he went to the ball again at the same house. M. de F , the son of the mistress of the house came at once to converse with him, and drew him behind the large curtains of a window of the saloon. Mr. L soon heard the voice of the agent of police—who was in citizen's dress —in conversation with another per son. They talked of the chase. After someminutes’ conversation, during which Count F kept his eyes fixed on Mr. L , who remained Impassable, the coup le went away. A moment after ho heard the sound of the agent's voice again. “ Ah! here you are at last, M. de Bo !>> said he; “ it’s a long time since we -have seen you!” The person addressed had no sooner pro nounced the first word of his phrase than Mr! L- —bounded In hisplacebehindthe curtain. “It is him! it is him! it is the unknown of Bouen 1” he exclaimed. “ Be still I” said M. de F , “ or your Imprudence will spoil all.” An instant afterward they were joined by the agent of police. “Well?” said he. Mr. L trembled In all his members. “I have heard him,” said he, shivering “it is him—l recognized his voioo." “It may be a mistake; you will remain here without stirring until all of the guests enter the dining saloon. You see that door by the side of those curtains; through that door each one will come with YOL. 53.—N0. 25. a lady on his arm. Scrutinize each coun tenance attentively, and above all make no movement.” One o’clock in the morning struck at last. Mr. L parted the curtains a lit tle, and his eye of fire was fixed upon the door of the dining saloon. His whole body trembled as if traversed by an elec tric shook. All at once his crisped hand directed Itself involuntarily toward a man who was conversing with a young lady; it was indeed the stranger of llouen. The agent of police was obliged to seize L around the body. Ho wished to unmask the assassin. The next day the agenfeame early to find him. “ You must call on Mr. do Bo .” “ Let us go on the instant.” 11 1 will conduct you to the door, and you will go up alone. It is necessary for you to speak with him tete-a-tete.” M. deßo lived intherue Saint Hon ors. When the clergyman, pale ns death, rang at the door, M. de Bo , who was putting on his gloves and preparing to go out, came to open it himself. He turned pale in spite of himself on seeing the English minister. But he re covered himself at once. “ Pardon, Monsieur, what is the object of your visit?” 11 You ask me that, wretch !” cried Mr. L , furiously. ' . “ You are mad I” said F. de Bo , shrugging his shoulders, and drawing his interlocutor into his study. “Now, what do you want?” said he, looking at him fixedly. Mr. L then allowed his Indignation to speak; he assured him that ho should attach himself to his person until the po lice recognized his crime. “ I shall succeed in unmasking you," said he at the end. “ You are deceived, my brave man,” said M. de Bo , taking a pistol from the table and placing the muzzle against the forehead of the clergyman. He fired, and the minister fell backward. But he was only stunned. When he opend his eyes again he saw M. de Bo between two policeman. The police had bribed the servants of M. do Bo , tak ing the balls from his pistols, and were concealed in the apartment when Mr. L presented himselfM. deßo , whom they could uutpursue us the assassin of the demoiselle, was now guilty of an attempt at assassination.

I re member to have shivered often at the re collection of it, and the image of the dead woman in the car pursued me long time like a horrible nightmare. It is this very year that M. de Bo finishes his twenty years of hard labor. BVSKIK ON WAIL AND WOMEN. The following passage is from Mr. Bus kin’s lecture on “ War,” just published in the “ Crown of Wild Olive :’’ “ You may wonder, perhaps, that I have spoken all this night in praise of war. Yet truly, if It might be, I for one would fain join in the cadence of hammer strokes that should beat swords into ploughshares; and that this cannot be, is not the fault of us men. It is your fault. Wholly yours. Only by your command, or by your permission, can any contest take place among us. And the real, final reason for all the poverty, misery, and rage of battle throughout Europe Is sim ply that you women, however good, how ever religious, however self-sacrificing for those whom you love, are too selfish and too thoughtless to take pains for any creatures out of your own immediate cir cles. You fancy that you are sorry for the pain of others. 1 Now, I just tell you this: that if the usual course of war, in stead of unroofing peasants’ houses and ravaging peasants’ fields, merely broke the china upon your own drawing-room tables, no war in civilized countries would last a week. I tell you more, that, at whatever moment you choose to put a pe riod to war, you could do it with less trou ble than you take any day to go out to din ner. You know, or at least you might know if you would think, that every bat tle you hear of has made many orphans and widows. We have none of us heart truly to mourn with these; but at least we might put on ourouter symbols of mourn ing with them. Let but every Christian lady who has conscience towards God vow that she will mourn,atleast inwardly, for his killed creatures. Your praying is use less, and your church-going mere mock ery of God, if you have not plain obedi ence in you enough for this. Let every lady in the upper classes of civilized Eu rope simply vow that, while any cruel war proceeds, she will wear black —a mute’s black—with no jewel, no ornament, no excuse for and evasion Into prettiness; I tell you again, no war would last a week. “ And lastly, you women of England are all now shrieking with one voice—you and your clergymen together —because you hear of your Bibles being-attacked. If you choose to obey your Bibles, you will never care who attacks them. It is just because you never fulfil a single down right precept of the book, that you are so careful for its credit; and just because you do not care to obey its whole words that you are so particular about the letters of them. The Bible tells you to dress plain ly—and you are mad for finery; the Bible tellsyou to have pity on the poor—and you crush them under your carriage wheels: the Bible tells you to do judgment and justice—and you do not know,nor care to know, so much ns what the Bible word ‘justice’ means. Do but learn so much of God’s truth as thatcomes to; know what he means when he tells you to be just, and teach your sons that their bravery is but a fool’s boast, and their deeds but a firebrand’s tossing, unless they are indeed just men, and perfect in the mar of God; and you will soon have no more war, un less it is indeed such ns is willed by Him of whom, though Prince of peace, it is al so written, ‘ln righteousness He doth judge and make war.’ ” Taking it Easy.—Old Roger was a queer duck, and in his own way, made all things a subject of rejoicing.
