4 Good Deca.-Miss Sedgwick, in her
" Means and Ends, "a book which every
one should read, mentions as an illustration
of the advantage of acquiring legible hand
writing, that one winter, when an unusual
quantity of extra copying was required at
one of the departments of government, Gen.
Jackson ordered the work to be given 10
such needy women, as were competent TO
execute it properly, This act of judcious
charity carried joy to many desolate
heart.

way. Ernest fell first into his power. This
victim had come to the house of Dsrancourt
TO be inflated into the mysteries sf masOn-
ry. Under the pretence of performing
these, Darancourt contrlved to bind the
young man SO that he could stir neither
hand nor foot, and then opened the victims
dress, and thrust knitting needle between
the ribs into the centre'of his heart! Ernest
de st. Maure died instantly, almost without
a groan. Taking key, by which the de-
ceased let himself into his own house at
nights, from Ernests pockets, and also
penknife, Darancourt then carried the body
by back road 10 neighooriDg well, and
threw it in. He then hurried to the Count
de st. Maures house, let himself in, and
murdered the master of the house, his wife,
and his two domestics, while sleeping in
their beds. The principal motive of Dar-
ancourt's entering the house was the desire
10 gain possession of a bond for 5000
francs which The count had lent the young
LAWYER 10 prosecute his studies. The mur-
der of the servants, and, indeed, of the other
victims also, was committed lest they should
disturb him in the robbery oithe house, which
proved to be a temptation not to be over
come when the murderer found the chance
in his power. Family jewels and to con-
siderable amount were the price OF his
guilt. By leaving the penkniie, Darancourt
hoped to throw suspicion on the son oil the
count; and this really turned out as he anti
cipated, though the unexpected opening OF
the old well had subvelted that'part Of the
expected issue. Darancourt had doomed
De Valmont to death at the first opportuni-
ty."
This fearful revelation-from the muir
derer's own hand-flled the minds of the
people of Brussels with the deepest horror.
Had the packet been returned to the guilty
Darancourt, mystery it seemed probable,
would have permanently hung over the fate
of the st, Maures; for the accomplished
hypocrite, who had shed so much blood,
seemed to know naught of conscience or
its stings. When he was again taken to
the scaf'oId, it was amid the execrations OF
-. loo, s...s pity followed the
wretch TO eternity. His crimes had been
committed with as little remOrse, and under
as unnatural circumstances, as any that ev-
er disgraced the annals of mankind.
Theodore de Valmont was restored TO
the arms Of his beloved Emily, and
enjoyed as perfect happiness as ever
falls to human lot In the close conceal
ment which he was compelled to preserve
aler his flight, he had not heard of the ac-
acknowledgement of the marriage, otherwise
he would probably have brayed all danger,
and returned earlier to Brussels. This mar
rltive, as the Oriental Herald from which
we derive the materials of this article) in
fosms us, is founded upon the facts which
really occurred.
