[Pound among the — “s deceased Prussian udge This is my last night! - and standing as I do op the brink of eternity, I will fill up the few hours that intervene before my execution takes place, in writing down the ry of my pro se in crime, and how, step by step, I reached fits dungeon. May it be accepted as an act of atonement on my part, and at the same time serve as a warning to others! I was @ forw: child, of a sullen, suspicious character, and I sage ers became a rough soldier during a couple of campaigns, at the close of whieh, peace having succeeded war, I left the service to farm a small estate which my wife had inherited. Soon after my return from the army, my brother sickened:and died. He was an open-hearted, noble fellow, far better- looking than myself and universally beloved. All who ever sought my acquaintance,whether at home or abroatl, from being his friends, sel- dom took kindly to me, and nerally observed the first time they me, that never were two brothers more unlike, both in person and man- ners. We had married two sisters; and this ciroum- stance, which ought to have been an additional bond between us. only contributed to estrange us still more. His wife saw through my char- acter but too well, and I always felt, whenever I gave way toa bad impulse of envy or hatred in her presence, as if she read my thoughts like an open book. It was a relief to me when tht coolness betweea us ended in an open rupture, tit! greater relief when I heard of her ile I was with my regiment abroad. It now seems to me as though I had a presenti- ment of the dreadful tragedy that was to take place! I dreaded her, and she seemed to pursue me—ay! even now I see her reproachful eyes upon me, and freezing up my blood’ She died shortly after giving birth to a child. When my brother in turn fell ill, and hislife was despaired of, he summoned my wife to his bedside, and intrusted his little orphan, a boy four years old, to her protecting care. He bequcathed all his Property to him, -tating in his will that should the child die, his fortune should devolve on my wife, as the only return he could make for her affectionate kindness Then, after exchanging a few fraternal words with me, and regretting our leng estrangement, he fell back exhausted, into a deep slumber, from which he never awoke. As we had nochildren and the two sisters had always been very united, my wife loved this boy as if he had been her own. He was pas- sionately fond of her, but being the true pic- ture of his mother, both in miad and person, could never, somehow, take kindly tome. I cammot fix any particular period at which I first became aware of this kind of antipathy on his part, but I soon began to feel uneasy when- ever he was present As often as I awoke ont of a train of gloomy thoughts, there was that child staring at me, not merely with the in- quiring gaze of childhood, but with the pierc- ing look, so full of meaning, that used to annoy meso in his mother. It was not merely an empty fancy of mine, attributable to his strong likeness to his deceased parent, for I never could stare him down, let me lock as fierce as Imight. He was evidently afraid of me, in spite of which he seemed to have imbibed a he- reditary contempt for me. I may deceive myself—and yet I donot think that I intended at that period to do him an harm. It might, perhaps, occur tome how zd vantageous it would be for us to inherit the boy's property and I might secre‘ly wish him to die; still, I do not think I had the least idea of taking away bis life. The idea came very slowly, at first, and merely in thedim and dis- tant outline which we set a vision of an im- bore earthquake, or the day of the Last udgment—then it approached nearer and still nearer, and begen to & portion of its bor- ility, and sfter assuming a more defiaite shape, it became the constant theme of my speculations When these foul phantoms crossed my brain. I could not bear that the boy should perceive I waa Staring at him; yet by a kind cf fascination, I could not help gazing on his fragile form, and thinking how easy the work of destruction would be Sometimes [ watched him in his sleep, but of- tener sill from the garden, as I rouched behind the bushes, glaring, like a tiger ba his prey, into the parlor, where he sat learning his lesson on & low stool, beside my wife's knee. Close to our country house lay a deep poo!, but it was not visible from our window. I spent several days in carvin, & rough model of a boat with my penknife; aaluue it was comp! I purposely lef: it in the child’s way. 1 to myeelf near the pool in a spot that he m: by, in ease he came to see the little toy at om the water. But he came neither on that nor the fullowing day. Still I felt certain he was in my wils, fort had heard bim prate about his toy, which be had even taken to bed with him. [ waited patiently, and on the third day I could see bim from my hiding place come rauning slong joyously, with his silken locks streaming in the wind, and singing—poor cpild—a merry tune, though he would scarcely Nap the words. I stole bebind him, beneath some bashes that grew near the bank, and the Bvil One knows how I, @ strong, grown man, trembled in every limb as | followed the foot. steps of this little child, while he approached the water's brink. I was close behind him, crouching on my knees, and was raising my hand to push him in, when he saw my shadow in the water, and turned round. His mother’s spirit gleaned forth from his eyes The sun now burst forth from behind a cloub, turning the water into a sheet of molten gold. Ever thing sparkled as if all nature ad eyes. don’: know what the boy said— though so young he did not fawn upon me, nor try to sooth me; all that [ recollect was that he sereamed out, not that he loved me, but that he ‘‘ would try to love me;”’ and then he ran back to the house as fast as he could The next time I saw bim my sword was in my hand, and he was laying stif and cold at my feet. I took bim up in my arms and | him gently in thicket. My wife was not at home that day, nor was she io return until the morrow, Our bed-room window, the only one ou this side of the house, being but a few feet from the ground, [ resolved to get through it im the middle of the night, and bury my vie- timin the garden. I had not the slightest ides, at that moment, that [ had frustrated » y owa scheme. and that when the pool would be dragged and no body forthcomin . the property must remain in abeyance, as I meant to con- confirm the belief that the child was lost or had been stolen. For the present, ai! my thoughts were centred on the necesssity of hiding a clue to my crime. Waat I endured when the servants came and told me that the cbild was missing. and when the messengers [ dispatched in all directions returned to inform me their search had been in vain, ne words can possibly describe. That same night I buried him! But now the worst remained tobe done; and that was to face my wife, and give her ho: that the child woula yet befound. This I continued to do with sucha of sincerity, as I believe, that no suspicion rested upon me. The next thing I - —_ cages — at the bed-room win- vw, from whence I could wateh, all day long, the spot where lay concealed my dreadfal se eret.

And each time that I awoke out of this borrid nightmare I crept to the window to gonvinee myself it was only an idle faney of round while I 6 kept er oO EET VOL. XII. my brain.

I accompanied her most reluctantly, but preferred being present, lest the sybil should infuse any sns- picions of my crime into her mind bn Ey wife's asking the question, ‘Where is the boy?’ the answer returned by the rapping was found to spell out the words, ‘With its mother!’ My wife was deeply affected, and I was Teady te sink into the ground, though I blustered and said the woman talked nonsense.

A few days after a comrade of mine, who served abroad, came to visit me unexpectedly, with a friend wf his, whom I had never seon before. I could not, however, resolve to lose sight of the grass yt and as it was a sum- mer’s evening, I told the servant to bring out & bottle of wine into the garden. I then placed my own chair over the grave, and thug, teeli sure it could not be tampered with, I endeav- ored to make myself easy and to enjoy my wlass. My comrade expressed the hope that my wife was well and was not keeping ber room, and that she had not been driven away by their appearance. I was obliged to stammer out in re ly the story of the childs disappearance. The sol- dier, who was a stranger to. me, did not look me in the face, but kept his eyes fixed on the ground all the while I was talking, which caused me the greatest uneasiness. § fancied be suspected the truth. I asked him abruptly whether he thought—but I broke down with- out finishing the sentence. “Whether I think the child has been mur- dered?’’ said he, with a mild look, “* Ob, no! what could any man gain by murdering a poor innocent child ?”’ I could have told him what a man gained by sach a deed, for no one knew better than I did ; but I remained ailent, though I shivered as if I had the ague. Seeing the state of excitement I was in, they endeavored to comfort me with the hope the child might yet be found, when we su idenly heard a deep howl, and a couple of large dogs leaped over the wall into the garden. “Blood hounds!” exclaim my guests. They need not have told me,for though I had never in my life happened to sce any dogs of that kind, I instinetively felt that they must be blood hounds, and I bat too we! attracted them. I felt like one eady con- demned to death, and grasped the sides of the chair convulsively, though I neither moved nor spoke a word. “They arevthe true breed,’ observed the stranger, “and have probably been let loose on trial, and have escaped their keepers.” And as he and bis friend turned their heads they saw the dogs smelling the ground, and running round und round, like mad, without noticing us, and ever and anon raising their beads, and uttering a prolonged howl,and then again laying their inuzzies close to the earth as if to get on the right scent. Presently, instead of turning round so large a cirele, they seemed to concentrate all their efiorts on one point, which they sniffed diligently still; in doi: which they approached my chair, when they $et up a more frightful howl than before, at- tempting at the same time to tear its ledges, which prevented their getting at the ground ema “They evidently scent game,” guest. cried my Vhat’s impossib!e'” cried I Por Heaven’s sake'’’ said the one I knew, “get up, or they'll tear you to pieces.” “Let them,’ returned I, “I'll not stir from passes? “Tue dogs must not be allowed to bait le to death! heats bew them down,”’ said =i “There is some borrible secret lurking under all this,’’ said the stranger, drawing his sword. “Ln the name of the law, help me to take this man into custody.”’ They then seized me and dr although I fought, und bit, and laid about ine, like a madman. After some resistance, I at length was obliged to suffer them to lead me off, aud the excited blood hounds began tear- ing up the earth, which they flung about as if it bad been so much water.
