I was relieved from my embanumiss situation
by a asermyr from my mother. She was ill,
and wished to see me,me to return

"Ah, poor woman: This is a sad judgment,
a heavy blow to her. She must, feel this bad

yes, Noah, lose no time in going home to com
fort your mother."
I gased from one to another is blank aston
ishment. They shook their beads significantly.
I hurried away without asking or comprehending
what they meant.
As I walked rapidly home I pondered over
their strap conduct. Be and .my losing my
situation of Gams-keeper and porter to the lodge
I mould not see in what way the death of Mr.
Carlos should so terribly affect my mother, with
out she suspected that I was the murderer.—
Guilt is naturally timid; but my plans had been
laid with such caution and secresy, and carried
out so well, that it was almost next to an impos
sibility for ber to suspect a thing in itself so
monstrously improbable.
The murder had been an impulsive, not a pre
meditated set. Four-and-twenty hours ago, I
would have shot the man who could have thought
me capable of perpetratiali such a deed. How

made: Christ knew it well when be composed

"Too true, mother: I have qua helped to

"1111, oh!" she groaned, rocking herself to and

false."
"It is a shocking piece of business—but why
should it affect you in this terrible way?"
"That's what I say," cried Mrs. Jones. "It
it) seem so striae to us that she should take ua
in this here way for a mere stranger."
"Don't ask me any questions, Noah," said my
mother, in a low, firm voice. "I am better now.
The sight of you has revived me; and these kind
neighbors may return home."
"At ten (retook the mad meet at the
Market Flail to examine6t a prisoners," I said;
"and I must be there to make a deposition of
what I know. lan stay with you till then."
"Oh, Noah! thee must tell na all about it!"
ssid Mrs. Smith, who was dying with curiosity.
"How did it come about ?"
I was not prepared for this fresh agony, - but
I saw that there was no getting rid of our trou
blesome visitors without satisfying their insatia
ble greed for news; and k r went through the
dreadful task with more dkerve than I expected.
My mother listened to the recital with breathless
interest, and the women clung to me with open
eyes and mouth, as if their very life depended
upon my words, often interrupted the with un
tooth exclamaiions of suprise and horror. At
length all was told that I could tell. My moth
er again broke into passionate tears.
"Poor Mrs. Martin !" she sobbed, "bow dread
ful it must be to her. I pity her from my very
soul !"
I had never given Martin's Unfortunate moth
er a single thought. I was not naturally cruel,
and this planted a fresh arrow in my heart.
"It is about eight years ago that she lost her
husband," said neighbor Smith. "He died from
the bite of a mad dog. Ile was the Squire's game
keeper then. Little Sally was not born until
live months after her father's death. I don't
know how the wid.lw has contrived to scratch
along, and keep out of the workhouse. But she
was always a hard-working woman.' She had no
friend like the Squire, to take her by the head
sad give her son a genteel education. She did
get along, however, and sent that Bill to Mr.
Bullen's school; but she half starved herself to
do it--and what good? He has been a world of
trouble to her, and almost broke her heart before
be run off to 'Moriky. This fresh misfortune
will go nigh to kill her outright."
"And was it to add to this poor devoted crea
ture's sorrows," I asked myself, "that I was pre
rto give false evidence against her sou?"—
o r tr i well I knew, that his life depended upon that
evidence.
For Martin I felt no pity. His death serer
filled me with remorse like the murder of the
Squire. He was born for the gallows, I had on
ly forestalled him in the deed' that would send
him to the grave. He had sought the spot with
the initiation to rob and kill. I had no doubts
on that head; 'and L per myself that be
had richly merited the fate that awaited him.—
But the grief, of his unhappy mother awakened a
pang in my breast that was not so easily as

I said, "Mother, why did you keep this guilty

A LAST LOOK AT OLD VllllO4 DS

Adam flows until the time when, acoompenied
by George Norton, we enixinntered him and Bill
Mattis is she iiiimastiasa, .44 t Abe Imaibse
peia~r. My statement was so clear, so plausi
ble, so perfectly matter of-fact, that this hideous
lie was receiv st by wise and well-eilneated men
as God's truth I heard myself spoken of as a
sober, excellent young man, well worthy of
the conlideuce and affection of the Squire, and
extremely grateful for the many fsvors he had
bestowed upon me, while the character that Mar
tin bore, and his previous pursuits, were enough
to condemn him, independent of the startling
evidence that f, and others from among his wild
companions, had given against him A eonver
minion that out of these men had accidentally
heard between him and Adam Hows, proclaim
ing their intention to rob and murder Mr. Carlos,
was, indeed, more conclusive of their guilt than
my own account., though that was sufficient to
hang him twice over.
Bill kept hts eye fixed ou me during the-es
amination. I met it with a degree of outward
calmness; but it thrilled me to the soul, sod has
haunted me ever since. He made no attempt at
viudiestion. He said that the evidunoe brought
spinet him was circumstantially correct, yet,
for all that, neither he nor his accomplice had ac
tually murdered the Squire, and that God, who
looked deeper thau man, knew that what he said
was true.
Of course no one listened to such an absurd
statement. But, to cut this painful part of my
story short--for it is agony to dwell upon it—he
was tried, senteuced, and condemned, and finally

These dreadful events were the beginning of
sorrows. When Mr. Walter Limn to the Hall
to attend his uncle's funeral, and the will of the
deceased was opened by the man of business, and
read to him slier the melancholy ceremony was
over, it was found that Mr. Carlos had named me
