TEE MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT FRO ME.

(From the Bath Chronide of Thursday.)

A murder of a horrid and mysterious nature was per-
petrated 4t the village of head, North Bradley, Wilt's,
On Sitilrday Moinhig last; On the perion of a little: boy;
aged three years and ten months, son of S. S. Refit;
Esq., who resides at Roadhill Souse, Road.
otmce to tl g village, on the right from
Trowbridge, there stands a modern none-built, Eiploious:
building, approached through a gate, by an avenue of
gigantic trees, . enclosed by a thick shrnbbery, within
which, are to tie seen Well lai&out, borders, dotted with
flowers;- and a smooth lawn fronting the house.` Oft
iuteiing the gatet(iaY Mid Passing' aroilnd the bitildihg, we
obierVed all that i'vat iiebessity to render the hbuSe
comfortable faniilY residence. The occupants are Mr.
S: S. Kent, a gentleniazi holding a liicratiVe_ position
as Tsilejetor. of factories for the tiiiitact; Mrs. fteiit; and
afainitir of seven thildren, four of whom, .tiainely, thre4
girls antrorie boy, are children by a first wife ; the two
youngest, Constanceand William, liaving, just returned
from sehool. It may be remembered that these two
children, abOut three years ago, throtigh some alleged
Unpleasautn4; at home, ran away, the girl having
cut off her hair, and otherwise disguised herself as
a boy ; but they were stopped ,at Bath, and taken
home again. The other members of the family are two
little girls and the
.deceased, children by the present
Mrs. Kent. This, then,, is the scene, and this the
family circle, which has been marred by one of the foulest
and 'most mysterious murders that it has ever been our
painful duty to record. The murder at Leigh Woods;
Clifton, was traced to the perpetrator by a chain of cir-
edtitainnoes frhith Trial:4d hiS guilt and betrayed his Motive;
The double murder- of Creech St. Michael, TAW:Eton, itas
supported by overwhelming Circtinistantial. evidence;
which left no doubt of the niisoner's guilt or object. The
dark deed at El-I'M& Forest pointed to a similar result,_
zilthOliih the eVidelice Of guilt had to be sought for in
the very bowels of the earth. jut in the present case,
after a searching and minute investigation of all the cir.
cumstances, material and immaterial,. important and
unimportant, of a murder clearly proved to. have been
committed
,within the space of sin hours, within a
building, and, some person or persons supposed to be
secreted itithin that building, not the reitiotest clue call
as yet be obtained id the perpetrator of that deed.
The case stands thus :—,zfiri,Friday night list, bet Ween

child's-body still remained: on the bed and pillow, Wane

warded to the police, when Mr. Supetintedent Foleyof
the Trowbridge force, was soon on the spot with a staff,
of Men, and took charge of the body anclelotlies, and all
connected with.it that had been found, and immediately
communicated With ,eorge Sylvester, Esq.; coroner, of
Trowbridge. An active and diligent search was then
Made by the police all over the premises and groifnds fat

their search proved fruitless. Every inmate of the house

any one in the commission of the crime, eculd be found.

without leaving behind them- the smallest tine W their
guilt, or disturbing-the inmates, or awakening the child,
or coming into collision with the dog7-is a mystery
indeed' which we shall not attempt to unravel, knowing
that the attempt would be hopeless.

place *here the body was depoiited is a circuitous one,
and to a stranget;- as We found it, quite a labyrinth; so

they had all been -cleaned by him as -Usual before the
child was missed.

• We understand that in the morning when the child
was Missed, and before a policemen arrived on the
premises, the father drove off to Trowbridge (a distance
of four miles), asserting that the ehild had been stolen,
and for the purpose, as he intimated, of requesting Mr.
Foley to send out men to scour the neighbourhood. As
he was returning from his interview with Mr: Foley he
met a messenger who told him that the body had been
diceovered. :.
It will be seen from -the evidence that the :Witnesses
were subjected to a rigid cross-examination, both by the
Chief Constable of Wiltshire, Captain Meredith, and
the jury, for the purpose of ascertaining whether their
food or drink had been tampered with to produce sound
sleep, but their evidence remained unshaken, and not
the shadow of a suspicion rests upon any one of them
respecting the blood of this Murdered Innocent.

which, formally repeated from this place, would
sound the most familiar and the most commonplace.
In former, and even in very recent days, it was a
common fashion for young me,
of talent (sty, and
for older men too) to affect to disparage industry
as the resource of the plodding and of the dull, and
to conceal the labours which their works had cost them.
The common sense of the present age has got rid of
that folly, and no rule is more certainly recognised in all
departments of intellectual labour than this—that real
work, work which will stand the test of time and the
criticism of competent judges, can never be the result of
hasty, or careless, or desultory efforts. I believe the law
is universal, and that it applies even to those branches
of study or of business in which action has to he taken
on the spur of the momenta without the possibility
of special preparation. We have heard at the bar,
or in Parliament, „en whose instantaneous command
of words, whose readiness of thought as well as of expres-
sion, seems the effect of instinct rather than of training;
but what is the secret of that readiness ? Why this—
that the mind has previously been so exercised on simi-
lar subjects that not merely the necessary words but
the necessary arguments and combinations of thought
have become, by practice, as intuitive as those me.
lions of the body by which we walk, or speak, or do
any habitual and familiar act. One man will pore
and perplex himself over a difficult point, be it in
- in science, what you will ; another will come
-
in and see at a glance where the difficulty list and
what is the solution. Does that necessarily prove that
the latter has more natural genius? No, bust it, proves
that his faculties have been sharpened by familia-
rity with such topics; and the ease with which he now
does his work, so far from proving that he has always
worked with ease, is a measure, so to speak, of the labour
with which he has prepared himself for doing it. You
will not suppose that I am denying the wide differences
of organisation which exist between man and man, or
that I hold, as some wise men professed to do in the last
century, that we are all born with equal gifts, and that
only educatian makes one to excel another. But this,
I ski, and with a deep conviction of its truth, that the

tendency of all of us is to overrate those natural differ-
ences, and to underrate the extent to which they lie within
our power to modify or to increase. lam sure that we
should one and all be staetleeleitltakittritny large

It is not, probably, that the early judgement was
raistaken, but- id the long run success has depended,
even in. purely intellectual ptirtnite, on morale quite
as much as on intellectual qualities. tab aftJager

Cannot prove the fact. What is indastiy, rinetirliat is

-and yet do but little in that time; another, of kai

during the hours that he is at work, and never wholly

not disparaging the Value- of regularity and method ;
what I eontendlot is, that where you see men successful
whose professional pitparatiot has tot been marked by
these qualities, you are not therefore to assume that they

When once a man has thrOwn himself heart and &Ail;
into the turmoil andanxiety of professional life, there is
not for him much more—in 99 eases out of 100 there is
no more—of that free and liberalising study which has
for its object, not the sharpening of one special faculty,
but the development of the mental powers as a whole.
It may be a matter of regret that the fact should be so, but
the fact is so, and the inference I would draw from it is
seriously to warn you (and I know the warning is not super-
lliiotus) tO'resiet; so far as you reasonably and prudently
may, that natural and almost universal impatience which
prompts men conscious of capacity for active life to throw
aside their books and rush into business at . tire earliest
moment, under the impression that they have no time
to lose, that there is nothing more they need learn,
and that the best preparation for work is the work
itself. No man, lam certain, ever knew the work of
his profession as well as he might have known it, who
did not go a good deal beyond his profession. You can't
isolate any one branch of human thought, and say, "This
is my province ; to everthingy outside 'of it 'I am
indifferent." The narrowness. of mind which a
merely one4ided culture produces not only spoils
the man . for being anything more than a tool, but
even, prevents him from being as useful a tool as
he might become. . Study, therefore, as long as in
prudence you Cans and don't fear , that life will not be
long enough to reap what you have sown. It very

Ntw INVENTION.—mE New FOTNTAIN Pest.---A greater
annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with---the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve-
ments the, new "fountain pen," just introduced by Rndlaall
and Co., is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of
a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, and this barrel
can be taken out at any time; so the pen can be kept perfectly
clean without any chance of being corroded. Another feature
in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minutes'
quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest desetijodon, and
in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will
be found to fill a want felt by every one sip to this time. We
have tried this splendid pen, hande'd to us by 1111fis E. T. Hall,
South John-street, and, can pronounce it perfect, and we are
sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour.
