THE SECRET CLOSET.
“For murder, though it have no tongue, will
apeak with most miraculous organa.”
In the year 18—, John Smith (I use fictitious
names) w&b indicted for the wilfnl murder of
Henry Thompson. The case was one of a most
extraordinary nature, and the interest exoited
by it was almost unparalleled. The aoensed
was a gentleman of considerable property, re
siding npon his own estate. A person, sup
posed to be an entire stranger to him, had, late
in a summer’s day, requested and obtained shel
ter and hospitably for the night. He had, it
was supposed, after taking some light refresh
ment, retired to bed in peifeot health, request
ing to be awakened at an early hour the follow
ing morning. When the servant appointed to
call him entered the room for that purpose, he
was found in his room perfectly dead; and from
the appearance of the body it was obvious that
he had been so for many hours. There was not
the slightest mark of violence upon his person,
and the countenance retained the same expres
sion it bad borne during life.
Days and waeks passed on, and little further
was discovered. In the meantime rumor had
not been idle. Snspioions were vague, indeed,
and undefint d, and were at first whispered, and
afterwards bold'y expressed. The precise ob
ject of these suspicions was not clearly indi
cated ; some implicated one person and some
another; but they all pointed to Smith, tbe
master of the house, as concerned in the death
of the stranger; and, in floe, the magistrates
we:e induced to commit Mr. Smith to jail to
take his trial for the wilful murder of Henry
Thompson. As it was deemed essential to the
attainment of justice so keep secret the exami
nation of the witnesses who were pi odnoed before
the magistrates, all the information of which the
public were in possession before the trial took
plaoe was that which I have narrated. Such
was the state of things upon the morning of the
trial.
The counsel for the prosecution opened his
caso to the jury in a manner that indicated very
little expectation of a conviction. He began
by imploring them to divest their minds of all
that they had heard before they came into the
box; he entreated them to attend to the evi
dence, and judge from that alone.

purpose of confirming, as far as she was con
cerned, the statement which he had just made.
Suoh was the prisoner’s address, which pro
duced a powerful effect. It was delivered in a
firm and impressive manner, and its simplicity"
and artlessnesa gave it an appearance of truth;
The housekeeper was then put in the box and
examined by the counsel of the prisoner. Ac
cording to tbe oustom at that time almost uni
versal, of excluding witnesses from court until
their testimony was required, sbe had been kept
at a house near at hand, and bad not heard a
single word of the triaL There was nothing re
markable in her manner or appearanoe; she
might be about thirty-five or a little more, with
regular though not agreeable featores, and an
air perfectly free from embarrassment.
She repeated, almost in tbe prisoner’s own
words, the story he bad told of his having called
her np, and her having accompanied him to his
room, adding that after leaving him she had re
tired to her own room and had been awakened
by a man servant in the morning with an ac
count of the traveler’s death.
She had now to undergo a cross-examination;
and I may as well state here, whiob, though not
known to me till afterward, will assist tbe reader
in understanding the following scene. The
oounsel for proseeution had, in his own mind,
attached considerable importance to the circum
stance mentioned by the witness who saw the
light, that while the prisoner and the house
keeper were in the ropm of the former, some
thing like a door bal intervened between the
candle end the window, which was totally irre
concilable with the appearanoe of the room
when examined; and he had half persuaded
himself that there must be a secret closet whioh
bad escaped the officers of justice, the opening
of which would account for the appearanoe al
luded to, and the existeuce of whioh might,dis
cover the property whioh had so mysteriously
disappeared.
His object, therefore, was to obtain from the
housekeeper (the only person exoept th j pris
oner who could give any clue to this) such in
formation as he oonld get, without claiming
her by any direct enquiry on the subject which
as she should not knew how much or how little
the enquiry had brought to light; and by him
self treating tbe ma.tsr as immaterial, be
might lead her to consider it a'so. And by that
means unsuspectedly draw forth all she knew.
After some unimportant questions, he asked her
in a tone and manner calculated rather to awa
ken confidence than to exoito distrust:
Daring the time jou were in Mr. Smith’s
room, you stated that the candle stood on the
table in the centre of the room? Yes.
Was the oloset, or cupboard, or whatever you
call it, opened once or twice while it stood
there ? A pause ; no answer.
I will call it to your recolleotion. After Mr.
Smith had taken the medicine out of the closet
did he shut the door, or did it remain open ?
He shut it.
Then it was opened again for the purpose of
replacing the bottle, was it ? It was.
Do you recollect how long it was open the
last time ? Not above a minute.
The door, when open, would be exnctly be
tween the light and the window, would it not ?
It wonld.
I forget whether you said tbe closet was on
the right or left hand side of the window ? The
left
Would the door of the closet make any noise
in opening it? None.
Can you speak posit'vely to the fact ? Have
you ev<r opened it yourself, or seen Smith
open it ? I never opened it myself.
Did you ever keep tbe keys ? Never.
Who did ? Mr. Smith, always.
At this moment the witness chanced to turn
her eyes toward the spot where the prisoner

In the hush of the winter midnight—
In the hush of the sleeping house—
When no weird wind eiirs in the gloom; firs,
The spirits of storm to rouse.
When never a glint cf moonlight
Gleams from the giea b aok t-ky,
By the red fire’s glow, as it tmonldors low,
We crouch, my letters ana L

On the crimson heal thing there,
Still, vivid and bright in the light;
As cobras in their lair. f .

That boras and throbs so faat,
Thinking the while, with a strarge dull smite,
Uf the task I must do at last. . <

Who knows, but I, how sadly,

By the ashes gray will weep and say,
“ Woe’s me for that vanished gleam.

The glimmer of memories blight,
That bid in each line of those letters cf n ine,
Those letters I burn to-night ? *
Ah welll the dream was a folly;
Its joy was an idle thing,
Its hope was a lie, and its loyally

So a kiss—the last—to my letters,
A resolute hand, and there 1

coal when on the parlor fire. The gaa passes
off through pipes. A ton of coal will mako
10,000 cubio feet of gas. The gas, as it leaves
the coal, is very impure.”
“How do they purify it?”
“First, while hot, it is run off into another

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
FOR PiUtfFVING THE BLOOD.
The reputation this ex
cellent medicine eujoypi
La derived from its cures,
many of which are truly
marvellous. Inveterate
cflkes of Scrofulous dis
ease, where the system
seemed saturated with
corruption, have been
purified and cured by it.
Scrofulous affections and
disorders, which were ag
gravated by the scrofu
lous contamination until
they were painfully afflicting, have been radically
cured in such great numbers in almost every seiv
tion of the country, that the public scarcely needto
be informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt
tenant of the organism undermines the constitution,
anil invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases,
w'ithout exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again,
it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and
me favorable occasion, rapidly develop
other of its hideous forms; either on the
among the vitals. In the latter, tuber
cles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or it shows
its presence by eruptions on the skin, sr foul ulcer
ations on some part of the body. Hence the occa
sional use of n bottle of this Sarsaparilla is ad
visable, even when no active symptoms of disease
ippear. Persons afflicted with the following com
plaints generally find immediate relief, and, at
