Ah! What transformatien was this? The minister had thrown off his false wig. and beard, and Apollo Bill, flerce and accusing, stood confronting t em, & revolver in either hand! “ Lord Clifford!’’ he cried, * = have been duped, and you have to thank me tha you are not in real- ity yonder viper’s husband.

From the tion in which nor lay, it was judged that Lady Theresa had first killed- her husband, and then killed herself, After attending to her burial, Lord Clifford left McGuffin’s, en route for his native country, a sadder but wiser man in the ways of the world. The same day the body of Darcy Drew was found just outside of town, suspended to the limb of a tree, and upon his breast was pinned a paper, upon was was written the following, in a bold, dashing and: ““Beware! Behold the fate of a human wretch, whose deeds brought upon him this retribution. His first crime may have been small, but the older he grew the greater wretch he became, until it was ne- cess to elevate him to the limb of a tree, where he have pure air and protection from wolves, Thus ends Ben Boghart.
