We were soon bowling along at a rapid
rate, and in a little more than an hour reach
ed the dying lady's residence, situated in
the county of Essex, and distant about ten
miles from London. VI e entered together;
and Dr. Curties, leaving me in the library,
proceeded at onbe• to the sick chamber.—
About ten minutes afterwards the housekee
per, a tall, foreign looking, and rather band- .
some woman, came into the room, and an- •
nounced that the doctor wished to see me.
She was deadly pale, aud, I observed, trem
bled like an aspen.' I motioned h er to pre
cede me; and she, with unsteady steps, im
mediately led the way. So great was her
agitation, that twice, in ascending the atairs, •
she only saved !Traci' from falling, by gras
ping the banister-rail. The presage I drew
from this overpowering emotion, by a person
whom I knew to have been long not only
is the service, but in the confidence of Mrs.
Armitage, was soon confirmed by D. Cur- 0
ties vvhem/ye-eiet coming-out of--the loom
of
,the expiring patient. •

'Step this way,' said he, , addressing me t,
and leadmg to . an adjoining apartment.—
,We do not• require your attendance, Mrs. '
Bourdon,' said he as soon as we reached it,
to the house-keeper, who had swiftly follow
ed us, and now steed; staring, with. eager
eyes , in the doctor's face, as if life - and death
hung on his "lips. 'Have the 'goednesSlO

THE MOTHER AND SON.
Dirmierc had been served about half an
hour one Sunday ufteinoon=the only day on
which for years I had been able to enjoy a
dinner—and I was sipping a glass of wine
when a carriage drove rapidly up to the
door, a loud rat-tat lollowed,ind my friend
Dr. Duffle's, to my greLt surprise, was an.
nounced.
'1 have called,' said the doctor, as we
shook hands, 'to ask ytet to accompany me
to Mount Place. J have just received a hur
ried letter stating that Mrs. Armitage, :after
a very firiet illness, is rapidly sinking; and

'Mrs. Armitage,' I exclaimed inexpressi

than • a fortnight ago that I met her at the

'Even so. But will yoti accompany me?
I don't know Where to find any one else for
the moment, and time presses.'

join me. Noiselessly entering •the loom, 1
came suddenly upon the housekeeperand a
tall young man,- standing with their backs
towards me in one of the recesses of one of_
the windows, and partly sfirondeeby the
heavy cloth curtains. They were evidently
in earnest conference, and several words the
significance of which did not at the moment
strike me, reached my ears before ths,y per

did so they turned hastily 'round, and eyed •
me with an expression of flurried alarm,
which at the time surprised me not a little.
'All is over, Mrs - .• Bourdon,' n - aid - I finding
she did not speak. 'and your presence is
needed by Miss Armitage?' A flash of in
telligence, as I spoke, passed between the
pair; but whether indicative of grief or joy,
so momentary was the glance, I should 'have
been periled to determine. The housekeep
er immediately left the room, keepingrher
eyes, as she passed, fixed upon me, with
the same nervous, apprehensive look wh i ch
had before irritated Dr. Curties. The young
man followed more slowly. He was a tall
and rather handsome youth, apparently about
one or two-and-twenty years of age. His
hair was black as jet, and his dark eyes
were of singular.

passion, sincere or simulated, has never
been, 1 have reason to know, in the slightest
degree reciprocated by its object; but- so
blind is vanity, that when, about six weeks
ago,, an eclairepsement took place, and
the fellow's dream was somewhat rudely
dissipated, the untoward rejection of his
preposterous suit was, there is every reasont
to believe, attributed by both mother and
son -to -the - repugnance of • Mrs. Armitage
alone, and to this idiotic hallucination she
has, I fear, fallen a sacrifice. Judging from
the emaciated appearance of the body, and
other phenomena communicated to me by
her ordinary medical attendant, a blundering
ignoramus, who ought to have called in
assistance long before, she has boon poisoned
with iodine, which, administered in certain
quantities, would produce precisely the same
symptoms. Happily there is no mode of
destroying human life, which so surely leads
to the defection of the murderer, as the use
of 'such agents; and of this truth the post

Mrs. Bourdon was now called in. After
interchanging a glance of intense agony, and,
as it seemed to me, o a f affectionate intelli
gence with her son, she calmly answered
the questions put to her. They were unim
par :nt, except the - last, and that acted upon
•ike a galvanic shocly. It was this.—'Did
you everstruggle with your son on the bind
ing leading to the bedroom of 'the deceased
for the possession of this bottle?' and ,f held
up that Which we had found in the recess.
-A slight scream escaped her lips; and then
she stood rigid, erect; motionless, glaring,
alternately. at_in e. and _at the -fatal_ bottle_ with
eyes that seemed starting from their sockets.
I glanced towards the son; he was also af
fected in a terrible manner. His knees smote
each other, and a clammy perspiration burst
forth and settled upon his pallid forehead,
'Again I caution you,' iterated the magis
trate, 'that you are not bound to anewer any
of these questions.'
The woman's lips moved. 'No—riever !'
she almost inwardly gasped, and fell sense
less on the floor.
As soon as she was removed, .lane With
ers was called. She deposed that three days
previously, as she - was, just before dark, ar
ranging some linen in It room a.few yards
distant from the bedroom of her late mistress,
-she was surprised at hearing a noise outside
the door, as of persons struggling and speak
ing in low but earnest tones. She drew
aside a corner of the muslin curtain in the
windoW which looked upon the
corn Tir
:or, and there saw Mrs. Burdoin striving
to wrest something from her son's hand.—
She heard Mrs. Burdoin say,. 'You shall not
do it, or you shall not have could
not be sure which. A noise of some nod
seemed to alarm them; they ceased strug
gling, and listened attentively for a few mo
ments; then Alfred Burdon stole off on tip
toe, leaving the object in dispute, which
witness could not see distinctly r in his.mo.
ther's hand. Mrs Burdon continued to.listen
and presently Miss, Arailiage, opening the
door of her mother-4i chamber, called her by
name: She immediately placed what was
in her hand on the warble - top of a side-table
standing in the corridor, and hastened to Miss
Armitage. Witness left the room she had
been in a few minutes afterwards, and, curi
ous to know what Mrs. Bourdon and her son
were struggling for, went to the table to look
at it.. It was an oddly-shaped glass bottle,
containing a good deal of a blackish-gray
powder, which, as she held it up to the light,
looked like black , lead !
offould ychi be able to swear to the bottle
if you saw it?' e
'Certainly I should' . ,
g By what mark or token
'The name of Valpy or Vulpy was cast into
it-that is the name was in he glass itself.'
'ls this it V
'lt is: I swear most positively'
A letter was also read which had' een
taken from Bourdon's pocket. It was much
creased, and was proved to be in the hand
writipg of Mrs. Armitage. It consisted of a
severe rebuke at the young man's presump
tion in seeking to address himself to her
daughter, which insolent ingratitude, the
•
write; said, she should never, whilst she
lived either forget or lotive. This last
tenor; was strongly under lined in a different

Alfred Bourdon was arraigned before a jury
of his countrymen, to answer finally tb- the
accusation of wilful murder preferred against
him.
=
The evidence, as given before the com
mitting magistrate, and the coroner's inquisi
tion, was . repeated with some addition of
passionate expressions used by the prisoner,
indicative of a desire to be avenged on the
deceased. The crosslexamination by the
'counsellor the-defence was able, but failed
to shake the case for the prosecution. * His
own admission, that no one but himself had
access to the recess wheie thoison .was
found, told fatally against him. When call
ed upon to ,address the jury, be delivered
himself-of a speech rather than a -defence;
of an oratorical effusion, instead of a vigor
ous, and, if possiblei damaging commentary
upon the evidence arrayed against him. It
was a labored, and in part eloquent exposi
tion of the necessary fallibility of human
judgment, illustrated. by numerous eiamples
of erroneous verdicts. His peroration I jot
ted,down at the.time :—' Thus, my lord' and
gentlemen bl the jury, is it abundantly man

testimony which every man bears in his own
breast, that god could not have willed,eould
