Lucille Montaigne had beauty and money, and Henri Du Harrc had wit and talent ; but these latter were no fair equivalent for the former in the eyes of the purse-proud father, who declared that 110 daughter of his should marry a poor man, though he were blessed with tlie u-isulmn ?>f n >4..1..?> <>!? Now Lucille loved llenr' Hut flic was too prudent to elope with and risk dis inheritance; for, after ., .. uat was low { without li.oney??poverty, coming in at tdoor, would .send it Hying through tlie window. l'oor Henri \vaJ? iu despair. lie really did love Lucille, whether she did him or not?loved her madly; and his was one of those dark, fiery natures which make love u wild, terrible passion. IIow much money was necessary to make him her equal in the eyes of her worldly father? 'Hie amhrrgistv named the sum.. It was larg.' and Henri sighed, and felt more despair at his heart than ever. Suddenly lie brightened up with the recolloc. tion that he had youth and genius, and that in some largo city, l'aria perhaps, whore ihf latter wouKI bo appreciated, lie might acquire both fortune and tame. But would Lucille wait ??Well, Lucille was willing to wait awhile?for just then, as she admitted to herself, she could think of no one she liked better than the poor artist; but everything earthly must have a limit, and tlie fair coquette thought her patience oughrnot to extend beyond a year. A year is a very short time for a man to acquire fame and fortune, with the latter depending on the former; but Henri was young, and youth is sanguine, si'.d at all events lie would 'make a trial, hoping great tbines, aiul knmvim* Im mnlil >!< > ><? wnivn than tail. So lie finished lii.s engagements hurried1 y, declined any new one#, sold the few pictures on hand, for :t moderate sum,'gathered his scanty effects, hade his friends and Lucille adieu, and, with a hopeful hut heavy heart, set oft' for the great metropolis of France. It was a long long journey from Carcr.s- j F.onc to l'arisy in the slow conveyances of the period when Jienri Du IJurrc jnade it ; and it was nearly two weeks before he reached the gay capital. And then began his struggles with poverty; which clung to him, in spite of his hopes, his exertions aad his prayer? for six weary months; *** ' when lie gave up in despair, secretly left the city, to beg his way back to Careassone, to see his Lucille once more, bid her an eternal adieu, nml r>nil n lif<? n<-? l?.n< ?<>? of any value toils possessor. Henri lhi Harre set out from Paris afoot and alone, depending solely upon charity of French peasants for food and lodging, lie had six sous in his pocket when lie htarted, and these he invented in a deadly poison, which he carried as a denier resort, determined not to suffer beyond what uiiiitic rcasunauiv near, out wincii ,it was his hope to retain till ho hud again r.een Lucille. In this manner ho reached and passed through Lyons. foot-sore, ragged, and disheartened?an object indeed for commiseration. Twenty leagues beyond Lyon's, in passing through a long, dark lonely wood, lie met a Jew carrying a heavy pack 011 his back: The poor artist asked the Israelite for charity; his appeal was answered with a few coins, for which he thanked the givr or, and then offered to carry his pack for / ' I him. / I " Oh, no?itis nothing?it is nothing? ( | a few old clothes only 1" returned the .lew. hurriedly?so hurriedly, and with such evident uneasiness, in fact so as to awaken suspicion in the mind of the young artist tiha.Jt it contained something of great vhIiic. Then it was that a wild, vague, ftrtdefinV ed desire to possess it first took possession ?>f the ninn who was now going home to die wretchedly, hut whom two thousand iVartcs yet bless with life and hanoincss.? When tlio mind of man taken a highly criminal bent, it seems as if sonic evil demon whispers in liiu car the most plausible reasons for a wickcd course to happiness. Henri Du Bari*o, who had never bofore thought of harming a human being, now glanced furtively aWishiidcforingly around ftfirr, vMh the dark and wicked thought in liia brain, that if this old roan were dead, and he possessor of his pack, he inightyot have a bright and glorious future. It was a dreary, dismal spot in the thick wood where they both stood, and no human eyo pnvq vUClin rrun j\.n.'U 111^ LUU "Why should this old man heoumbefad with (&)}$ htiojfWjjj | M *4 ot the joy that it might him who coveted its possession ?

And even should the se| crct ho diseovcred, would it be anything I worse than d'nth at last'! lie had bought | poison for himself, and why should not nnI other take it for his salvation??in which event he would have tho means to procure more, and couhl always as now carry his i:r.. 1.:- > ? 111 u ill lllf* lKlllUH. The .Jow had bidden Vim pood day, and was trudging onward, nt a slow, steady pace, while these wild, wicked thoughts i were coursing through the brain of the j other, with all the plausibility of tin.h. I Suddenly the .Jew stopped, produced a little flask, and raised it to his lips. Ah ! | that flask The devil was tempting young ! Du lhirre to crime, and here was the opi portunity. ! " My good friend," called the artist to the Jew, i% I am very faint; will you give I nic a few drops of that wine?" "I will give you half," t?aid the Israelite ; halting. The artist advanced tremulously, produced the poison, and oonecalod it in liis hand as he npproached his victim, and, under pretonceof wiping the mouth of the flask, dropped it in. Then ho protended todrink, I and handed it back with thanks, t ring the Jew to drink his health nt fl?.ir litml parting. Isaac complied, and tlioy separated, each going different ways. | As soon as Henri was ont of sight of the Israelite, lie entered the wood, and returned iu an oblique direction, until lie ! eainc in sight of his victim, wlio was now writhing in the agonies of death and groan | ing for mercy. A few minutes more and he was still?the dread work was done. ? Dragging the body from the road, and concealing it, tlio murderer next c.irrii'jl the pack far back into the forest, tovo it immi. i and found indeed it did contain old clothes. | He was nearly frantic, lie had murdered i a harmless old man, and got nothing for it. lie threw the <:arment.s from him with the wild action of remote and sp.iir. Suddenly iie heard a clink as of money. Then lie he^an to examine the old iranncntt?, and found, to 11is almost mad joy, I that they contained immeiipc treasures in ,,..1.1 ?,".i l.. -i: . i ' ^w.v. i.i hi jvtu-in?(.iiiiiiionu.", s.Tppnires, pearls nml rubies, (o the value as Ik tlinuj^it, of ton thousand francs, but in rej ulity more than a hundred thousand. Far in the depths of that dark wood, ; the murderer hid the most precious stone?*, i to bo brought forth in after time. There ; were two thousand live hundred francs in i money ; and with this amount lie started ior domic, no longer :t poor 111:111, but, alas ! even further than ever from bein^ a bap 1 py one. i lie travelled in liis ragged clothes as far j as Nismes, fearful of spending one of bis ill-nc<|iiired coins sooner; but at Nismes he ventured to purchase a new and genteel suit, aud in this, shortly sifter, he appeared , V .< T Ml 1 . ijuioru jjueiiie, snowed nor lather tins sum required, which lie represented as having been honestly obtained in lii.s profession, : and claimed her hand. In duo tini(5 Henri l)u Barro married Lucille Montaigne, and happy were "all at j the wedding but the guilty groom, who was never to know happing* again. lie k'-pt his secret, however, and profited by [ it, making an occasional iournev to the dis i niul spot of his crime, under .pretcnec ol j travelling on business, lie took away and ! disposed of tlie jewels one by one, and ! gradually grow oppulent, and was regarded ! by all who knew liiui an an* honest mau of I mark. Hut the' romciubranec of his crime had a strange fascination fur him, ami much of liis time was spent in brooding over it in i secret. I Being an artist, lie at length naturally I-conceived the idea of paintmg the sei ne of the murder; and he finally drew it in j miniature, on ivory, picturing himself in (he act of dragging tho dead body of the Jew into the forest, whoso features, from lireuiory only, he delineated with wonderful fidelity. . And as if tliis were not j enough to satisfy his niorhid infatuation, I lie wrote underneath ! " Isaac, a Jew, niur| dered by Henri l>u Ihirre, Artist, September the tenth, in a dark wood, about twen1 ty leagues south from Lyous." i ' . i il was a sirange, insane, idea, that, o1 l preserving :t memory of tlie horrible deed ! in tliis manner; but tliis minaturc of the | scene he had set in a neat little frame, ami j carried it in a belt nround his waist. I$ut the strangest part of this horribli J affair is yet to be told. On liis last visil to the forest, for the last jewel thit yet re niained of the proceed.-) of his awful crime ho was shot dead by a highwaymen, who 01 searching his person, found the minaturc and recognized in the features of the mur defect Jew?his own father. This produced so strange an imprcssiot j upon Jlio Second mtorderor, (lint ho c:irrict j it to the authorities, and made a full con ] fc.ssion of his own crime. A full and tlio rough invest!' itidii took place; and among the papers of I)u iJarre, was found one con taining the statement of the whole trans action, as wc have here recorded it. The second murderer, the son of tlx Jew, was subsequently oxccuted, and so en dec! the chain of dark and bloody events. Truly, the ways of providence arc won derful aud mysterious. T ?
