Why aro wo shrunken from that holght ol old, When men would die for glory'a twining bayst" So sang a mslden with a trumpet cyo Ami tin that nealcd a poem with word, "What life is this we live and die unheard, Boncath a silent and too sunny sky! "Wero it not hotter to' have lived In Greece, And hoard Demosthenes striko Philip down With words that seared the lustro of his crown, And wroto road war across tho brow of poai! "Were it not hotter to havo lived la Rome, When Cmsar with Insatlabloblado, Carved out a path through overy hill and glade, Until he mado tho frlghtonod world his home? "Wore it not bettor to have lived and dlod Uoforo men foil upon such Idle days, Bcforo tho world had learned suoh coward ways? Is llfo worth living nowt" sho sadly cried. "Truly, I connot toll thoo that, my swoot," I saldj "but hero's an answer meet for thee; Llfo thun or now wcro worth tho world to mo If I but lived It lying at thy foot." W. J, Jfenderion. M. Sassotfs Vallet. In 1880, M. Paul Sneson resided on tlio Uoulovnrd do Foullly, Paris. Ho wna a speculator nud rtnnnclor, and nbout fifty yoara of ago. Ho wns mnrricd, and had a dauglitor Corinno and n Bon CnarlcH. Ho kojit up auoxponslvo establishment, and was reputed rich. Early hi tho yenr nnniod, ho bocaino rosorvod and morose, and was constantly talking to his family about tholr oxtravoganco and tho necessity of reducing oxponscs. At longth ho grow almost violont in Ills conduct towards "his family, and tho greatest forboaranco had to bo exorcised by them. October 2ht, M. Sasson wont to tho city early. About noon ho roturnoil early with a van, and sot sovoral men to work removing tho picturos from tho parlors. Ho was vory stern, and took no notico of his family, who did not ox- postulate. Ho returned to tho city, and was not at homo until Into. Tho noxt morning at broakfast ho informod his family thnt ho was nbout to curtail his establishment, and to that ond hiul ro solved to inovo into a smaller and loss pretentious dwelling. "Havo you miflurod suoh heavy lnsuos as to rondor this nccossary?" his wlfo asked. "It is vory inopportuno just at this juncturo, whon Corinno oxpecta soon to rocolvo n proposal of marriago." "Lot her marry whom sho ploasos," ho rep'.iod roughly, "sho will soon bring him to poverty with hor oxtravaganco." "Sho is nought liy a worthy gentle mnn," tho son mid, uuml tho connection is in overy way desirable" "It is proper for you not to interfero in such mutters," tho father said ; "you will lmvo enough to do to attend to your own cures in lifo. You havo already failed in two examinations at collego.aml havo shown you red f incompotout for anything." "I am compolont," tho son replied with warmth : "to protect my mothor and vlstor." "Insolent I" cxclaimod tho fathor, nud rushing towards him, ho clonohod his tUt as though to striko him. Mine. Sanson interposed her poreon between tho irato man nud his sou. M. Sasson ground his toetli with rago, and then struck his wifo a violent blow ovor tho sido of tho head. Tho son was ready to grupplo with his father, hut his moth or entreated hhu to forbear. Soon after wards M. Sasson quilled tho house. After a brief consultation Mine. San son resolved to peek refugo with her sis ter, and her children resolved to accom pany hor. Trunks wero hastily packed and preparations mado for iiuuuxliato departure. Whilo hor children were en gaged in this work, Mine. Sasson went to a bureau where her husband kept it revolver. "If ho should return and seo us pro paring for departure, ho might do some thing dosporute," ulio tuiid to liorsclf. Sho took the pistol from tho drawor, aud holding it among tho folds of her dress, wont to her apartments. As sho quitted tho library, 8ho found SI. Bos ton's valet at the door. Ho turned asido and mado no remark, and sho pass ed on in silence. On reaching tho apartments occupied by horsolf and hor husband, sho found her children busy packing. Sho placed tho rovolvor be hind a vase on tho mantlopicco without being obsorved. When M. Sasson returned homo in tho evening, ho found tho liouso desert ed. Tho valet told him that his wifo inn ciiiiuron mu uopartou togouior,iiav ing first packed Bovcral trunks, which thoy had taken with them. "I snw mndnm going to your buronu in tho library," tho vnlot said at tho conclusion of his story. M. Sasson wont to tho library and ex amined tho bureau. "My revolver has bocn removed," ho said. "I saw madamo quit tho library," tho valet said, "holding by her sido. some thing which was concealed by tho drapery." In tho ovoning Mmo. Sasson discover ed that sho had loft a largo sum of monoy in hor boudoir. Sho had im mediato need of this sum, and how to got it was tho subject of much thought. Sho dotorminod to say nothing of it to her children, for fear Oharlcs should in sist upon going to their formor rosidonco for it, and thus, perhaps, bo brought Into collision with his fathor. Finally oho devised n scheme Sho had tho koys of tho sido entranco to tho garden mid of a privato entranco from tho gar- don to tho houso. Sho thought that in tho darkness sho could oasily find admis sion to tho dwolling-houso, reach unpor ooived tho boudoir, proouro tho monoy and return without any ono being tho wiser for her ndvonturo. To got hor childron out of tho way, sho suggested that thoy should visit her brothor, who resided n mllo nway, nnd communicato to him tho stop sho had taken. As soonns thoy woro gone, sho quitted hor sistor's houso unknown to any ono but hor maid, whom sho had takon with hor, and, procuring n cab, wont to with in a hundred yards of hor formor rcsi donco in tho Uoulovnrd do Noullly. Di recting tho driver to wait for hor return sho wont toword tho dwelling, oponing tho gato into tho garden with caution ; sho loft it ajar nnd crossed tho Inwn to n sido door. This sho nlso left ajar, bo ing nfraid that tho closing of it might rouso tho inmates. Without difficulty or molestation sho ascondod tho stairs and succeeded in gotting possession of tho monoy. Sho quitted tho houso, still leaving tho door ajar, but on passing out of tho gnrdon sho closod tho gato and hastily walked toward tho cab, Sho reached her sistor's houso bcforo her onildrcn roturnod and without her nb- sonco having boon noticed. Tho noxt morning M. Sasson failed to call for his valot as usual. Aftor waiting for somo timo, according to tho valet's fltatomont, ho wont to his mostor's npartmont nud found him lying in bod with a bullet hole in his bond. On tho covorlot lay his rovolver. His wntch and purso wcro missing. His wardrobo had bcou ransacked, and his oscritoirio broken opon. Thoro was uo doubt that tho assassin had been at work. Tho judgo of instruction aud his offi cers invosiigntcd his tho oaso and arriv ed at tho conclusion that murder nnd robbery had boon done. Tho valot told what ho know nbout tho family troubles, and tho fact of M. Sasson nnd hor childron having left hor homo tho previous day on account of whnt had passod botweon Monsieur nud his wifo and Hon. Tho valet related tho incident of tho rovolver. Hut how had any ono entered tho houso. Jean Ohaulmn, tho valot, testi fied that early in tho morning, as ho was taking tho milk at tho garden door, ho observed that tho sido door of tho house was ajnr, aud going in that way, ho closed it aftor him. Tho garden wall was high, but an oxport olimbor could easily ecalo it on either side. Tho gondarmes on duty near by tes tified that botweon 10 aud 11 o'clock tho previous night ho saw a cab standing within a few hudred feet of tho houso. Ho spoko to tho driver, who said : "Somo gay old bachelor must livo near by, for n vory comely woman has just disappeared by tho sido of that house." Tho cabman was easily found by tho police. Did ho know tho lady? No where did ho tako hor up? On tho cor ner of tho Ituo do Momy and tho Fau bourg St. Honorc. M. Sassou's sister resided on tho Ruo do Momy, near tho lino do Ponthiou. It was n very pain ful conclusion to rea.'h, but there was no avoiding it Mmo. Sasson had assassi nated her husband, nud tho missing ar ticles woro taken merely to turn asido suspicion. Sho had lived unhappily with him ; ho had dctormincd to reduce his establishment ; ho had struck her! All these facta were testified to by do mestics. Thou camo tho op'i6odo of tho pistol, narrated by tho vallet, and tho furthor fact, admitted by SI. Sosson'a maid when bIio was clovcrly captured on tho etroet and removed to tho offico of tho Judgo of Instruction, that SInie. Sob son had a key to tho gardon and tho sido door of tho house, and that sho had been absent from her sister's houso for two hours between 0 :30 nnd 11 :30 tho night of Octobor 22d. Everything being thus clear, Mmo. Sasson was arrested nnd clmrgod with tho crimo of murdor. Mmo. Sasson doniod tho accusation, and told tho story as tho reader has it bcforo him, omitting tho opisodo of tho pistol. "Do you romombcr going to tho bu reau in tho librnry boforo you loft tho houso Octobor 22d?" tho Judco of In struction asked her. "Yes, I do." "You took a rovolvor out of tho bu roau, and you havon't montioncd tho fact." "I did ; but I rofraincd from saying anything ubout it, becauso I did not wish to havo to Bay that I was afraid my husband might shoot ono or tho other of us." "What did you do with tho pistol?" "I put it behind a vaso on tho mantlo picco in my husband's apartment, in tending to romovo it, but I forgot it." In consultation afterward, tho judgo said to Goupo, a'dctcctivo : "This woman does not talk or look liko n guilty porson. If sho is not guilty and, mark you, sho has just tho 'sum of monoy sho says sho wont for to tho boudoir, and tho missing watch has not hcon found nenr or about hor if sho is not tho assassin, how camo tho murder er to find tho pistol hiddon behind (ho vaso? You havo seen tho vaso, nnd know just whoro nnd how sho laid it. Is it possiblo that any ono whom SImo. Sasson loft behind her did tho deed?" This suggostion put tho dotoctivo on n lino of inquiry, and ho pursued it with vigor, but found no clow. SImo. Sasson was convicted of tho killing of hor hus band, nnd Bontonccd to fifteen yoara' im prisonment. Jean Chauban, tho formor valot of SI. Sasson, assumed tho niuno of Itou maiuo and oponod n wino shop in the Huo Orouso, near tho Dois do Boulogne. Six months aftor Mmo. Sassou's convic tion, in tho spring of 18S0, dotoctivo Goupo waB looking for a wandoring swindlor who had cheated Bovoral chari tablo ladios in tho suburbs of tho city. In his wandorings Goupo dropped into tho wineshop of Jean Iloumaino, nnd was soon on friondly tornis with that gontloman, for ho immediately identi fied him, olaboratoly transformed ae ho was, as SI. Sassou's former valot, whom ho had watchod for a month in various disguises, to 8co wnotuor no could con nect him with tho crimo of Octobor 22d. SI. Iloumaino had a splondid gold chain on his vest, nnd Goupo asked him tho timo. Ho pulled out tho olegant ro pcator, which Goupo had no hesitation in saying oxnetly answorod tho descrip tion of tho watoh fitolon from SI. Sasson whon ho was murdorcd. "A lino watoh," said tho ofllcor. "Yes a prosent from n dead friond," answorod Iloumaino. "Ah, vory precious, no doubt," said tho oflicor. "A sad romombranco," a sad romom brnnco," was tho reply, with nu assumed look of sorrow. "I onco know n gontloman who had a watch just liko that," Baid tho dotoc tivo, "and, strnngo to say, ho is dead also." A coincidence," said tho vnlot. "Won't Slonslour drink?" "Thanks," was tho reply. ''It is a atrango coincidence, nnd, would you boliovo it, my friond was murdorcd. Why, Slonsiour, what is tho matter with youT Was your friond muniorod also?" "Xo, no, not that, Slonsiour," was tho answer; "but your words startled mo. Slurdor, you see, is suoh a dreadful words, thoro was no help for him. Quietly and without nny show of resist ance, Iloumaino wont with tho officer. Tho watch in his possession, tho monoy which ho had invested in tho wino shop, woro ovidenco ngainst him, nn'd at longth ho broko down and confessed his guilt. "I saw madamo quitting hor boudoir on tho night of October 22d, nnd fol lowed her to tho gardon. I saw hor leavo tho door ajar and go out by tho garden. It at onco struck mo that horo was a good chanco to rob my master nnd lay it to his wifo. After sho nnd tho childron had quitted tho houso I searched for tho pistol nnd found it behind tho vobo. Aftor I was suro that monsiour was fast asleoD I cot tho re volver and wont to his room. Ho had drunk heavily bcforo retiring, but to my Burpriso ho awoke as I was rummnging tho wardrobo. Ho cried Thiovesl' nnd was about to got out of bed, when I firod and ho foil back dead. Then I gathered all tho plunder I could nnd hid it away. I did not volunteer too much information during tho investigation, becnuso I thought tho ovidonco would convict SImo. Sasson without much say on my part." It is needless to say that Mmo. Sasson was roloascd and Jean Chauban eont to tho gallows. RALROAD NURSERY I FRUIT TREES!
