'E BURGLARY.
El
On a morning in September, 18—, Edgar Trev
elyan, E,q., a floulishing member of the Bar of
P., entered his office and look np, as was his cus
tom, the various letters which lay cm his table.—
One of die- notes seemed to excite his astonishment.
He rend it again. At moment,'a light step at
his door attracted his attention. He bade his visi
tor enter, when the davit opened and a young and
lovely female stood on the threshold. Bidding her
!; good morning," he handed het a chair. She eat
down, glancing timidly around. "
" Mr. Trevelyan, I believe?' inquired the lady.
" That is my name, madame," respectfully re.
plied the ancroy.
I have come to consult you, sir," she continu
ed, with some embarrassmeni,."_on a most painful
piece ef business," aqd 'the speaker paused in evi
dent ektion. •
Mr. Trevelyan looked up and found his visitor
in tears.
" C%npoae yourself, madam,", said he, some.
what startled, " and rely on my desire to serve you.
What is your business T"
The lady glanced towards him ; there was so
much of tenderness, so match of compassion in
his musical voice that she became calm at once.
" Parnon me,.sir," she said, " I can scarcely re
tain my tears. lamin a moat unusual position."
" I can only repeat the wish to be of service to
l'ou, returned the gentleman.
You kn:iw Charles=[ me an t Mr. Charles
Edwards—l believe?" inquired the lady.
" I do, said Mr. Trevelyan, in surprise. " I
have lost received .a lever from hint that astonishes
end shocks me."
" Show it to me," exclaimed the girl, " show it
to me : let me see whet he has to sayP
Trevelyan handed her the note. It ran thus:
14—Prison.Sept.,t7,
i• My Dear Trevelyn—My dear friend—l can still
call you so, come to me. Lam in prison, crushed
ft the earth, in the most happy moment of my life,'
by a terrible, and inexplicable Chain of Micurnsten

" This is very, very terrible," said the lady,
passive and trembling with emotion, although ex.

" It is indeed," wide.] Trevelyan ;" btu how are

" Not so,•' replied theigirl. "It has Only - post;

Trevelyan was at a lois the beauty, the lady

certain suspicions which flittered tinkly across hie
in 'lid.

On the morning of our wedding dak,yesteidatt, he

identified Won thethe spot. bly•fatiter•was furi
ous. He went to the magistrate and procured
search warranty and proceeded to Charles' room,
at—H3tel. A portion of the plate was found' in
bis closet. Besides the robbery was committed by
one who must have possessed a perfect knowledge
of the house." • -
" Surely Ed wards. could account - for the posses
sion of the necklace?" suggested Trevelyan.
" He declaresthat he purchased the necklace of
Mr. Walton, in Cues:int street.. That gentleman,
however, although be admits - the sale ot somewhat
similar jewel, denies that the first was ever made
in his store."
." This is odd, very odd," said Trewslyart.—
'l Wharot the 'plate? What did Edwards say to
:That?"
" Heidenies all knowledge of it." .
" And your father; did he identify Charles u
one of the burglars!"
rt
" He belieees,leotays, Edwards to have been
the man. The size and form of the robber was they
same. He was always convinced that he knew
him, and he only (ailed to suspect Charleb, in con
sequence of his abiding confidence in him. se-1
sides, what is worse, Charles 'was known to be in
,possession of a very large snm of money, shortly
salter the robber'y-money Which he cannotnow ac
count for in a satisfactory way, The plate, too—a
large portion of it was gold—was exceedingly val-
uable; worth, so says my father, some $5,000 or
36,000. In addition, he cannot explain where he
was on the night s ."
of the robbery
" How is your father affected toward poor Ed
wards?" inquired Tievelyan. - - •
" He is very bit:er against him, exceedingly
so."
" Why, he was your father's most confitlehtial
clerk; and Mr. Wilson himself announced that on
his marriage with you,'he intended to take him in
to partnership."
" He is therefore more angry with him, perhaps
because be is mortified arwhat he entitles Charles'
ingratitude," said Miss Wilson, in reply.
" Do you remember the night of the robery ?"
' " Perfectly. I was ill at the time, with neural•
gi"."
" Did Charles spend the evening in question
with you."
" He did, and remained until a late hour—until
after eleven o'clock,".
Did you see him out of the house? I ask this
question, because you tell me yon were troubled
witb neumhzia ; and most persons suffering Under
that comptsim avoid a current 111 air—such, for in

" You are right, I did not go to the -door - with

In a few moments they were on their road to the
prison.. • -.1
As the carriage drove up in 'front of the castel-:
fated building Which frowns like a baronial edifice
of old, on P---goad, and seemed to throw a cloud
of gloom over the neighborhood, Florence trembl
ed and shuddered, in spite -of herself. The very
trees that-shed their withering leaves and the she
dow of its walls,
, had a cold, unnatural air, and
seemed to pale and pine arunder the , presence: of
some great calamity.. She recovered hersell with
an effort, and taking Mr. Trevelyan's aren, entered
the little door in the huge iron-banded gate: She
thought•of the terrible' line of Darne r the inscription
on the-gloomy gate of Hell—. -
_ All hppe abandon , ye who eater acre,'
and she could scarcely refrain , her tears. ,
Aftev a few moments, and in those moments
were concentrated the agonies of many, many
years, Florence found herself in front of the cell in .
which Edwards was confined. The turnkey took
his keit and unlocked the door. The cold, jing•
ling clash and clink •ol the chains sent a, chilly,
crawling feeling to the
,crimping ,heart of the mai,
deo ; but when the door, itself, cracked on its bul
ges, she did not.heed the, apparent agony of the
iron—she only felt the presence, she only saw the
form other beloved, her suffering one, and forget
ting eveitbiog save bet utterable love, she twang
forward and buried her head in his breast.. -,
"Florence—dear Florence I look up, revive I"
passionately exclaimed Edwards, as he preened _
her closely and more closely to his heart. " Ohl
Trevelyan," he continued, "why did you bring
her here? Why did you not spare me Ibis pang?"
" 1 could not avoid it," teplied his friend ; "she
would not be 'aonstrained ; she comes as your in.
tended wife, confiding in you, believing in you,
as I do, n to be innocent ; for no man, unless he nras
utterly lost, would wreck the happiness of so no

" Thank you, thank you," murmured Edwards,
aX he gruspeo Trevelyan's hand, " from my heart.
I thank you. lam indeed innocent—indocefit as

weeping in heaven—alas! but such tears should

The next day Edwards was liberated, under re
cognizance to appeal at, the next Court of Oyer and

and there to be laid against him.
In the 'Meantime, 'until die day 'of trial, Treve

denouement. Edwards too, Lad his share of anxiety
—not only on account of the defence, of which he
ktiew little or nothing, Trevelyan had insisted on
his silence and demanded a carte blanche; but on
that of hie. Florence, whom he only met occasion

-The morning fixed for this trial at lasi arrived
and Charles Edward's stood 'at the bar of his coun
try, an arraingetk criminal; for Almost every one
believed him to be guilty. Some few, -however,
doubted the truth of the charge, and all purled him.
The Attorney General arose and opened 'the case,
and made,a very powerful speech against the de
fendant. Mr. W ilson, so vindictive was• he, so
determined on creating a convictiony had employ.
ed privy counsel to assist in the prosecution. He
even compelled the attendance of his daughter as
a witness against Edwards, -Trevelyan, however,
bore up againq it bravely, and by his calm, con
fident manner did much to ilia:mute his desponding
friends. Witness-after witness was examined, who
all swore to the facts which we have - enumerated

eltcited. The housa, Was proved, had been en

shown by the lock-smith, who changed the locks

was"asserted; iisited the hotting at all horits, and
every opportunity to perfect s auch arrangement, In
addition, on a further search of his zoom at his ho
