Its advantages over other Soaps are :—Lst. It is cheaper
to use, one pound being equal to three of common rosin
Soap. 2d. flail the-time need.only be occupied in washing
when this Soap is used in place of other Soap. 3d. Labor
in washing can be nearly dispensed with, as the clothes
will require little if any rubbing, thus avoiding their wear
en the wash-board. 4th. Boiling the clothes is unnecessary
when this Soap is mod, and hard or salt water answers
equally as well as soft. 6th. Printers, Machinists, Painters
and others, find it far superior to other Soaps. It speedily re
moves grease, tar, paint, printers' ink and- dirt from the
hands, leaving the akin soft, and free from chapping.
To avoid the labor of rubbing the clothes, and the use of
the wash-bOard, the following directions should be followed :
For the washing of eight or ten of a family, take 0111,
pound of Soap, cut it into shavings, and dissolve in one
gallon of hot water; put the clothes tutors tub containing
about, ten gallons of warm water; pour in the dissolved
Soap, and stir thoroughly. let them soak twenty to thirty
minutes, wring out, and rinse in warm water once, gold
water twice. A very dirty wrist-band, or seam, or grease
spots, may require a slight rubbing, but otherwise the
clothes will Come oat clean and white, without rubbing er
tolling. Cold water may be used in place of hot, requiring
about double time in soaking.

LEAH NIERI.EL;
THE DE 4TB OP 4 PARRICIDE.
A Strange Story of Wales
[CONTINUED.]
It was a tall, spare clerk complexioned young
man, with a strangely bright eye. He placed a
broad brimmed hat on the table, and, drawing
off his black leather gloves, laid them across its
lip. He then, leaning his hand beside it, con
tinued to gaze at the busy penman, with a look
in which a ,qudent of nature might detect and
separate respect, self-accusation, anxiety, and
embarrassment. At length, as the latter raised
his eyes, they encountered those of the new
comer.
44 W"ll," said the other, smiling, "surely you
don't
.take me for my own ghost How are you ?
How progresses the Independent '/ interest ad
vanoing in the country—eh ?"
" What—well—really, my dear fellow, excuse
me, I took 14 For some illusion. But where have
you been all this while ?—how have you been
disposing of yourself ?— r Studying hard !—or—
bless mel you have been ill, John—you are as
thin as a lath! and as I live,' - your'hair is honed
grey, or I have bedeviled my eyes somehow_!"
What is this you are about?" said the
other, as if to break the course of the-conver
sation, and drive off, for a moment longer,.some
disagreeable subject: "a heavy-hitting leader
for the old journal, eh ?"
" Ay, you may say that ; small help have we
had from you lately" I had feared that crack
article had exhausted you."
" What article ?"
" Ah, yes: that was the thing Sir Something
Somebody pirated from in the House of Com-
mons."
"Ay, I suppose, tince you have been writing
for the London periodicals, you have quite for
gotten your connection with an obscure country
newspaper and Its obsoure editor."
" No, Will, believe me, L have not written a
sentence since I wrote in this room. No ; I have
got wrought up with a fearful peice of business
—God help me
And he threw himself abruptly into a chair,
a still blacker shade passing over his dark fea•
tures, like a cloud shadow over a nocturnal land
scape ; while his eyes, which seemed usually•
possessed of an almost an unnatural light, shot
forth a glance, as if a flame had , glared up sud
denly, anlsunk again within head.
"Put away your papers, Will, attend to me ;
I have something , to tell you, that will put poli
tics out of your head for the night."
" What, a duel, eh ?"
dolly 1 I am about to put the strength of
our friendship to a severe test; and, first, give
me your word of honor that what passes be
tween us, stall never reach the ears of any
other being."
"Nay, I will make no rash promises, but you
may rely on my friendship, John ; I trust our in
timacy has subsisted tocrlung for you to fool any
scruples account imparting a secret to me."
" I will trust you—l can do no better ; and
now, William, I am laying my life into your
hands. That girl, 'Marie' that is to be tried on
Mot
well
• • alto. - ;other innocent of the crime im
puted
Then, I suppose, that will coma out in the
evidence.
" Possibly not ; that is the reason I have come
here to-night. You must save her."
" I !—how, pray ?"
" You are foreman of the jury, and will have
absolute influence over them. The people of
the town have the utmost confidence in your
judgment and your virtue—most justly, I allow.
I am convinced that if any one, of what party
seevor, were asked who was the most talented
man in the place the answer would be, the editor
of the Independent In faot they hold you little
le.' than an inspired person. I du not say this
n eilly flattery, Rill, but to show you how you
are to fulfil my request. I know that in that
jury your opinion will lead every other, and, in
fact form the verdict. Now you are to know
beforehand that the dear girl is as guiltless of
the crime as you are.
" But how am 1 to know anything of the
kind ?"
"My word, William ; did it ever fail you ? I
sw oar to you, as I shall answer to that Being
whose eye alone saw the deed, that she is abso
lutely pure of it, whatever the evidence may
appear to provo to you! Will you fur my sake,
use your utmost efforts to lead the jury to a ver
dict. of Roquittalr
"This is really absurd, John."
"Then, I See, I mast tell you the whole story."
He rose, opened the doer; looked out, secured
it, returned, and commenced, in a low half-whis
per, a narrative that speedily arrested and ab
sorbed the attention of hie hearer.
When he had done, the latter heaved a deep
sigh, as if rePeved from a weight; The expreS
EIOU of feature with which he looked at him,too,
was altogether changed from that with which
he had regarded him ttt his first entrance. •
"And non," said the stranger, "are you con
vinced of her innocence?
"I am—l am."
"And you will endeavor to procure her acquit
tal
?"
"I will ; I consider it a duty ; end did I not
b.iieve that yPur motive was not what the world
would judge it, I would consider it also a duty to
"Betray me, Will ?"
"Give you up to public justice; but I could ;
not do it. Alas I we have been friends from
childhood! Your crime has been great and un
natural—bat you have. trusted to my affection.
I will use, all just measures to bring off your un
happy victiM; your own punishment I will leave
i❑ the hands of Him who alone can inflict a pen
alty adequate to such a deed."
"Yes—you see it here :" and he snatched a
quantity of hair from his head with hie fingers,
and held it out.
It was iron-grey in color, and came away with
ease, as if the roots had been withered, and yet
his features were those of a very young man—
indeed. little beyond boyhood
"Would you know the mark of Cain?" he con •
tinned: "look in my face. But what was Cain
tome? He oily slew his brother. Great God,
what will become of me ?"
."And now," said the other, after a pause, "I
pray you will leave this house, and never again
oome near me. It is no lessening of my person
al friendship for you, but that crime, that dogs
you like a hideous Doppelganger —we can never
again be companions—l cannot associate with
a—a--"
"The dreadful syllables stick in your throat,
Will. Good bye !"
"Farewell, indeed, John ; better fortune at
tend you, and may your eine and sorrows lie
light upon your breast ! Before you go, I would
recommend you to get young B to plead
for her."
"He is already retained."
"Farewell! God be with you !"
"Farewell I—Farewell!"
The trial was a long one, and ended in her
acquittal. This was owing as much to the tarn
given to the evidence by repeated questions from
the foreman of the jury, as to the masterly
pleading of Mr. B—.
The history of Leah—her personal delicacy
and weakness—the fact of her clothes, as well Eir
the weapon she had grasped, apparently in her
defence, being altogether unstained with blood
—the nature of Basil's wound—his atrocious
"private character, were all particularly dwelt up
on—and the. resit was that she wan sent free
from the har, the crime being wrapped in as
much obscurity at ever.
About a month after this, a young surgeon sat
alone, very disconsolate, in a shop he had open
ed as an apothecary and general practitioner, in
a remote corner of the liberties of Ns/esti:minister.
He was cursed with that bane to success in prao
tice,—a juvenile face and appearance; and he
was bitterly reflecting bow long it would be ere
time would bless his features with wrinkles,wheu
a young man entered to purchase some drugs.
1 It was the same darkly-dressed individual I
have just described. The materials he bought
were of a chemical nature, and he stated Os in
tention of using them for certain 'experiments.—
He made this a means of drawing the young Bur
geon into a le t ngthened conversation, with the
view of sounding the extent of his skill.
NUMBER 204
Day after day he returned, purchasing contin
ually various inaredients, and daily taking the
opportunity to discourse upon medical subjects.
At length he stated his desire that he should
leave his business, and go with him to attend
case at a distant part, of the country. The other
objected, stating his determination that, if his
practice did not succeed, it should be from no
want of attention or perseverance no his part.
The stranger urged that his was a portion of
that very business he, was anxious to advance—
indeed, his earliest important case. This, and
other representations, backed by a twenty-pound
note laid on the table, immediately resolved him
what course to adopt. Leaving his surgery in
charge of a former fellow-student, he started
next day far a professional excursion, he knew
not whither. They left in a travelling oarriage,
went westward from London. and journeyed for
two days.
