" If I were to tell you all, sir, they cannot
drag we from my death bed here and hang me,
can they Besides, lam innocent. But what
does that matter' More innocent men than 1
have been hung for less mimes than iourd. , r,
fore this I will not tell you "
" Murder?" said I, with unfeigned astonish
'. Murder, Charlton?" For this man I
was attending in my capacity u house-surgeon
of the Ilenborough work - house I bad known
him for years, and of all my present patients he
had seemed the simplest and less violent Ills
anxious eyts—which closed so lightly even in
sleep—hi; averted looks when spoken to, his
nervous timidity at the sight of any strange face,
I had set down as the outward signs of a broken
spirit and a waning brain; for he had had enough
of sorrows to shake a stronger mind than his
I could remember him with wife and children
about him, In a respectable, if r not an extensiv,
way of business ; and why it suddenly fell off
sod was given up, and what misfortune had
changed the couple who had before been co blithe
I bad often wondered Their boo, Robert, was
fnow in the Crimea, a sergeant ; their dangtrter,
Clara, a milliner's apprentice in the north; Mrs
Charlton had died a few months afto the failure
of their trade. of ,a lingering and somewhat strange
disease ; h. .r. husl..and Nu+ indeed, ar. he hgrd sad,
upon b.. .1, ath ti..d I had ..ffered to s. n.l for
Clara at my own chile., hut he w,oll I riot hear
of it
I would n ot have a soul at in% t".l,ide, save
you, doctor. for worlds, - he said
He was quire fro ndlt•ss, to chamber
was c mm. n t tit. workio , to. folk, but it
was a July ‘13%, and they w r. sunning them
selves in the rivirrii eout outside The noonday
beams whirl. poured into the long bare room
fo u nd nothing fair to ri at npon ; no print upon
the whitewsehed wall , no c o mmonest wild flow
er in any of the few drab entered mugs that strew
ed the table ; no signs of comfort anywhere
The sick man lay upon his little iron bed, and I
was sitting upon the wooden stool beside it ; his
hand lay upon mine, and his face was tweet
towards the door, listening I rose, and locked
it ; and it was then that be began, as I have said
to speak of murder, and his innocence—to ask if
it would be dangerous to confess all
I said "No ; nothing can harm you, now.—
What you ray to me is ■ secret as long as you
shall live ; you may speak as if I was the clergy
man"--whom be had refused for some reason, I
know not what, to see "If it will ease your
mind to tell me anything. say on "
" You have known me, doctor, this twenty
years, and will easily believe me when I say
that I no more expected to become dependent on
the parish and die in this workhouse, than I
dreamt of the possibility of my committing—any
very terrible crime I was young to the world
t h en , a nd foolish ; and my wife was not older or
w iser We were not strong minded folk—nor,
alas! even straight forward Through a plausi
ble story of dear times coming—which may yet
have been partly true—we sold many a pound
of butter and ounce of tea ; and if it was not al
ways a pound nor always an ounce, it was never
over the just weight, but under. Spirits also--
there being no public house close by—which we
of course bad no license to sell, we would let our
best customers purchase, and drink in our bock
parlor. which appeared in their weekly bills un
der the head of candles, or what not ; so that
opeakiug before our own children, we had to
fabricate strange stories, and give things their
wrong names ; and many other devices we had,
which, tl ough they got us little gains, seemed
not much; on the whole, to benefit us, I have
purposely told you the worst of us, because it
will explain our future conduct the more easily
but you must not suppose that we were thieves,
nr very wicked people. We scarcely knew wha•
wrong , we were doing to others, and far less to
ourselves , and I don't think in other respects
we were a bad pair I know Sarah loved me,
and I her and our two children, dearly Our
.hop. as you relabel., was between Ilenborough
and Swalfham. which were then quite seperate
t own s, with straggling houses and long lines of
railing to connect them Our house was the
farthest of the last row, not detached " Here
the sick man raised himself on his hands, and
whispered—t' Are you sure there's nobody at
the keyhole F—nobody at any crack or cranny,
nor at the skylight 1"
I assured him that there was not; and then
the wretched creature pulled out from a sort of
oppossum pocket in his very akin, and under his
hone' vest, a thin piece of paper. folded, keep.
ing it carefully beneath the bedol thee, an as to
prevent its being visible from without. R e open
od
it, and I read these printed wor d s:
Two IIIiNDKID POUNDS DZWAILD.
The above will be given to any pereno. not me

such information u abaft lead to the dineovery
of the murderer or murderers of Joho Spigot, in
the Swaffhato Road, Hentorengh, on the night
of December the tiairty.ilret, eighteen hundred

He never groaned after he had touched the floor,

WHO ARA THI FRIANDO OF FROZDOW NOW !
To the bill for the admission of Kansas as a
State, passed by the "Republicans" of the Na
tional House of Representatives, by a vote of Ss
to 74, is attached the following proviso :
"Provided, however, That any person, lawful
ly held to eervioe in either of said Territories,
shall not be discharged from such service by rea•
son of such repeal, if such person shall be per.
manently removed from nab Territory or Terri
tories prior to the first day of January, 1858;---
and any ebild (.r children born in either of said
Territories or of any female lawfully held to scr
vice, if in like manner removed without said
Territories before the expiration of said date,
shall not be by reason of anything in this act
emancipated from any service it might have
owed had this set never been passed ; and
"Provieledferther, That any person lawfully
owing service in any State or Territory of the
United States, and escagng either into the Ter
ritory of Kansas or Nelska may be reclaimed
and removed to the person and place where such
service is due, under any law of the United States
which shall be in force upon the subject."
It will be seen that in this proviso, the Re.
publicans assume the most ultra ground on the
subject of slavery, ever maintained by the fier

It seems as if fortune delighted in extending
her band favorably towards some individuals,
while to cabin she puts it forth only to decisive
sad buffet them through life. Her eaprioes have
furnished is with a lively example is ho' non
nets of dealing. We relate the simple facts as
we have heard them, without adding a word.
In Hungary, towards the close of 1848, war
was the only theme in vogue; in Pesth, the
word "peace" wu quite out of fashioo. The ho
tele were filled with guests who met for the par
pose of discussing the favorite topie--martial
music wu heard from morning till night—the
European war was preparing. Two personages
were sitting together before a small table at the
hotel Nagy Pipe, to whom the German saying
might have been applied—'One keeps dhows,
the other listens to him ;" for one of these per
sonages seemed attentively considering the prob
able or possible cause of his companion's silence,
casting from time to time a scrutinising look on
his countenanee, intended to penetrate whatever
dark project might be passing within. This ob ,
servant individual was no other than the humane
Muter Janos, police corporal and vioe-jailer of
the noble city of Pesth ; and wheu we inform
our readers that he ooeupied this post during
Metternich's time, and that notwithstanding that
minister's overthrow, he still retained his posi
tion—unlike the usual fate of the adherents of a
fallen system—they will surely admit that the
favonte of fortune oould not be better personi
fied than by the same Muter Janes. Nor can
it be denied that the individual opposite wu as
much persecuted by the fickle goodness as the
other was favored. This was obvious, not only
from the fact that he was at that moment the
object of honest Master Janos's suspicions glen•
cos, but that be was in that locality at all—that
a nailsmith's apprentice from Vienna had wan
dered into Hungary, of all the places on earth—
s country where the craft is carried on wholesale
at the corner of every village by the Walachian
gipsies.
- Muter Janos had-not studied Lancer; but
long experience had led him to conclude, after
minute examination of the man's countenance,
that some counterrevolutionary scheme was turn
ing in his head ; consequently be drew his chair
nearer, and proceeded to break the silence.
"Where do you come from, sir, if I may pre•
111100 to ask ?" he inquired, with's wily glance at
his companion.
"Hyay from Vienna," sighed the stranger,
looking into the bottom of his glass
"And what news from that oily "
"Ryay! nothing good."
"Eh, what ?—ootbing good ! What bad,
then ?"
"Hyay war le feared."
"Feared : what audacity ! Row dare they
fear ?"
"Hysy : I do not fear, sir, at thirty leagues'
digtanee ; but ones I heard from the Geller bow
they were bombarding the streets, and I found
notllng very agreeable in it."
Muter Janos found increased reason for sus
picion ; he resolved to make the man drink, ox.
petting to come by this means upon the traces of
some dangerous plot
now much does • n•ilemith'e seem•ok re
quire ? At the second pitcher, his head sunk
slowly back, and his tongue moved with difficul
ty. "Now for it," thought Muter Janos. filling
his Film -Eljen !—liberty !" he exclaimed,
waiting for the nailamith to touch glasses. The
latter was not long in responding to the invita
tion, and echoed the word "Eljen !" as well as
his thickening tongue permitted.
"Now it is your turn to give a toast," said the
vice jailer eyeing his victim
"Indeed, I am npt tried to giveitoasta sir I
only drink them."
"Come, be social ; drink to any body you con
sider the greatest man iii the world."
"In the whole world?" replied the nailsmith,
reflecting that the world was very large, and
that he knew very little about it.
"Yes, in the whole world," pursued Muter
Janos, confidentially..
The nailimith hesitated, scratched his nose,
scratched his earl f scratched hie head, and finally
cried out : "Souses to Master Slimak !.' The
vice jailer shuddered at this public demonstra
tion What cluld Muter Slimak be but some
low plotting fellow ? Without any ado, he seised
the nailsmith by the collar, and escorted him to
the town hall, dragged him into a narrow, omi
nous looking chamber, before a 'tout, red fatted
gentleman
"This man is a suspicious character," he ex.
claimed. "In the first place ha bas the audacity
to fear war; in the next, be sat from seven till
half past nine—two whole hours and a half—
without opening his lips; and, finally, be was
impious enough to drink a public toast to a eer
tain Muter Slimak, who is probably quite as
suspicious a character as himself."
"Who is this Slimak ?" asked the stout, red
faced gentleman.
"Nobody, indeed," said the trembling Vien•
nese, "but my former muter, an honest nailsmith,
whom I served four years, and would be serving
still, had his wife not beaten me."
"Impossible !" ejaculated the red faced per.
sonar. "It is not customary to give towel to
such people."
"But I don't know what the customs are
here."
"If you wished to give a toast, why did you
not drink to constitutional liberty, to the Upper
and Lower Danube armies, or to freedom of the
press ?"
"Hyay, sir, I could not learn all that in a
month."
"Bat in three moothe, I dare say, you will be
able to learn it well enough. Muter Janos,
take that man into custody."
The humane Master Janos again seised the
delinquent by the collar, and escorted him to the
place appropriated to snob malefactors, where he
bad time to consider why.he was put there.
The three months passed slowly enough to the
nailsmitti. It was now in the mouth of March.
Muter Janos pnactually released his prisoner;
s:d the holiest man determined to prove the re
form in his sentiments, and thereby rise in Mai:
ter Jane's opinion.
"Success to liberty-and the Hungarian arms:"
cried be. Master Janos stumbled against the
wall in specchlese horror; and as soon as he re
covered his equilinrium, he seised the astonished
nailsmith, who, when he had regained his terri
fied senses, found himself again ea the narrow,
ominous looking chamber; but now, isamod of
the stout, red faced gentleman, be stood before a
lean black one, who, when he understood the
charge against the prisoner, without permitting
any explanation, condemned him to three months
imprisonment, informing him that henceforth,
unless be wished to fare worse, he must exelaim:
"Suotiees to the imperial armies, the great eon.
'dimities, and the one and powerfit Austria !"
And the sailamith, having made three steps be
yond his prison door, was brought back to renew
his captivity', and to ponder over his strange

A few years ago Jarvis Wright was one el lie
