I would willingly have kept it from the eyes cf the deaconess, but she held out her hand tiemblingly to get possession of it, and it was too late to attempt concealment She read it at a glance, and, as if it had been ou fire, threw it from Ler, unable to utter u wold. “Stay a little,” said Girvan as he rose and took his hat. “I will be Lack in 10 minutes. ” He hurriedly left the room. And I, taking up the paper, Legau to question the officer as to the person who left it at the bailies’ office. I ascertained tLat Lis name was Hugh McPherson, a cobbler who resided in the Cowgate, and that his account of the manlier uf obtaining it was that he found it among straw on the street right opposite the coach uffic« in the High street, from which thu coach to Gala shiels started twice a week, it was fur ther stated by McPherson that liis opin ion was that the paper had fallen from the coach, along with the straw among which it was found. Before I had time to foim any opinion as to the real pur port and meaning of this sibylline scrap Girvan came again hurriedly into the room, breathing Laid, as if he had been running—an effect no doubt due more to his excitement than to hia Ludily ex ertion. Laying down his hat, he resumed his seat, and putting his Land into las pocket he drew out another paper some thing like an account. “Look at that, ” said he as he handed it to me. Glancing over it, 1 found it to be an account for skins, due by Girvan to An gus Macgillivray, duly discharged. “What of this?” said I, uttterly at a loss to know the meaning of it all. “Examine the handwriting uf the two paper«, ” said he. 1 did so and immediately ejaculated, “Why, that bleed stained scrap is writ ten by Augus Macgillivray.” ‘’No doubt of it,” said Girvan. “I knew it the moment I saw it, but I d anted to make sure woik. ” “And sure enuugh it is,” replied I, ’ but what conclusion du you draw tiom it?” I am ofiaid to mentiunit,” was the reply. “But 1 in no, ” cried the deaconess in a wild way. “It is just as I thought ” she continued as elm moved her aims as if to enable her to utter the words, “Angus Macgillivray has murdered my Lus uaud. “But why should he publish the act in his uwu handwriting?” 1 rejoined. “Because the awful m«m glories in his revenge,” she cried again hysteric ally. "That hardly squares with human nature,” said Girvan. To this I assent ed, adding that “Augus was not sc mad as not only to write Lis own condemna tion, but give the officers of the law a direction to go in pursuit of him ’ With all these qualifications, it was impossible to get rid of the direct ef fect of the words of the paper cleariy enough indicating that the deacon Lad been killed by some one, whether Angus or not. The officer himself seemed to have uu doubt, aud. as for Mrs. Macgillivray, her former conclusion was only rendered mere certain, and the calmness into which she quickly relapsed appeared to be fka consequence of resignation to the will of God. Meanwhile the officer had intimated that the paper was to be preserved and taken up to the office iu the morning, with any explanation that could be giv en of it. Ho then went away, and lat« as the hour was we resolved upon seek ing out McPherson to ascertain from his own mouth the true circumstances connected with the finding of the ex We accordingly traordinary paper.

Macgillivray started, and we were not less surprised—nay, 1 Lave no doubt that oil of us had some notion that tho visitor might bo no other than the deacon himself. The door was open ed by the servant; we listened to the step on the passage—tramp—tramp—so like one well known that Girvan ejac ulated with a kind uf spasm, ‘ It’s the deacon!" The words were electric. We started up, and even Mrs. Macgillivray sat upright gazing at the door, It open- ed, and before us stood one of the town officers with the rod nock on Lis blue cost. “Hera is a bit of paper,” Slid he, “which was brought up to the office about cu hour ago. ’1 And Girvan, taking it out of his hand, fixed hi3 eyes upon it ea if he were charmed, yet he did not seem to comprehend what ho was reading, for although I asked him what it contained he could not utter a word. M ia Mac gillivray’» eye was fixed upon him, and L myself sat with open mouth wonder ing what ailed the man. “Can ya no read?” said the officer. “Read,” added I impatiently. And the Bairs words troubled on the lip3 of the deacon“». Ont it came at length, and the effect was certainly proportioned to the cause.

Girvan to-'k the pa- per homo with him, and we parted with the hope of getting some more light next day. The light certainly did not come, but there was now more official inquiry as well as energy. Girvan, at an early hour of the forenoon, took the blood stained papei to the bailies’ office an-1 found that the assessor was go much impressed with the strangeness of the whole story that he had resolved upon handing it over to the fiscal. Nor did he fail in this, as soon appeared by a wall bill which, about 1 o’clock, glared iu various parts of the city to the effect that v- hereas a paper on which was written the following words (quoted) had been found oil the High street of Edinburgh, a reward of £5 would be given to the person who had written the contents of the said paper (assuming it doubtful ■whether Angus Macgillivray was the man), if ho would come forward and give testimony as to the object or meau- ing thereof, or to any person who would give information tending to show where the pc-s jiiof Duncan Macgillivray, dea con of the hammermen, could be found, whether dead or alive. Nor did the fis cal limit citi: ial duties by this proc lumaliou. fur .¿bout 2 o’clock l:e com menced a precognition of all parties who knew anything regarding tho atfau, among whom w< r-< u,« deaconess (whu was, in consequence uf h r weakness, t.Aen tu iLu office in a sedan chair), Mrs. Augus Macgillivray, McPherson, Girvan, myself and the individuals who had scon the missing men on the day uf their disappeaxauce. But nothing came cut uf the bill or the precognitions tending toward any thuory sufficient to stay the mind or in duce belief, if we except a statement made by a young man, a clerk in the coach office, opposite which the blood stained paper Lad been fuuud. He went forward in the afternoon and was pre cognosced by the fiscal to the effect that ou the day of the disappearance he saw two men whom Lu did not know mount tho coach just when it began tu move, and without having time tc pay their fares, which they probably calculated upou settling at the other end of their journey. One of the men, who was stouter and fatter than the other, got inside, and the other, immediately upon perceiving the movement, sprang up behind. He observed no conceit between the two, yet he felt satisfied that tho one had re solved to gu ufter be saw the other about to take his seat. It was only after he heard a description of the two Macgilli- vrays that Le began to think they were the men whom he had observed. When this story eume to be known, it was conveniently found to agree iu some re spects with the history of the paper. As suming that the men seen by the clerk were really the two brothers, it seemed probable that the deacon was lie who went inside, probably Called upon to undertake the journey on short notice by some business emergency, and that An gus, who was prowling about, had seen his brother in the act of enteiiug the coach, had suddenly formed a résolu tion to dog him into the country olid there wreak his revenge at a distance from Edinburgh. Thia sudden purpose seemed probable, because if there had been any concert between the two to tiavel together Angus would have gone inside also, where, according to the clerk’s state ment, there w as plenty of room for him. So far ingenious and cer tainly in tin circumstances not improb able. Then, as to the paper, what more likely than that it should Lave come with the returned coach, having been sent by Angus when upon the eve uf flight after committing the deed and bearing the marks of bloody fingers? As fur the motive for thup proclaiming his villainy, the must difficult element m the whole story, it might have been (what might not Le when the mind is predisposed to find that it is.q the wild acted' a bravado, glorying, as Mrs. Mae- gillivray herself expressed it, iu his re venge at a time when he knew he would be far away before the paper reached its destination. Another day dawned, bringing with it uf course further confirmation, iu the passage of time, of the universal con viction that, whatever might be the speculations as to the when, how or wherefore, there could be little doubt of the fata of Deacon Macgillivray. And with the same increase of effect the dav passed. Taking Girvan along with me, I called at the house in Borthwick’s Close about 5 o’clock. We found there Mrs. Girvan, and another, uf all the world the most unexpected. the wife of Aligns Macgillivray herself, Her story was extraordinary enough, She said that ever since the taking out of the lawLurrows Angus Macgillivray Lad been a changed man. He ieau l.is Bible iu the morning and showed other indi cations of penitence for the enmity he had entertained toward Lis broiliei. “And now,” continued the woman as she took from her pocket a Bible, which she Lad prubably brought with her for the very purpose, “I swear by this holy Look, which I hope to be the means of the salvation of my soul and that of my husband, that Angus Macgillivray, cu that morning when he so strangely dis appeared, stated to ms, aye, with tear» iq his eyes, that ha muurned continual ly over the separation of himself and his brother; that he was determined to throw himself in his way, to confess his contrition and sorrow for what had passed, to offer him his hand aud swear I a renewed friendship, which he would keep true to the day of his death ’ ’ This remarkable statement, which was confirmed by the manner as well as the honest character of the woman, was, I think, believed by all of us excepting tho deacuiiess, who Lad bean so com pletely wedded to the old theory of the murder by Angus that it seemed as im possible to movo her from this convic tion as it was to raise her out of the great depth of her sorrows. “The news haa been lang o’ coming, woman,” said she; “I will believe it when Angus proves himsel’ to be innocent o’ a brother’s bluid. ” “But you forget, sister,” said the oth er, “that I have nothing to expect from coming here and telling you a lie I am here for your comfort; to satisfy you that, whatever has become cf your hus band, fie lias received iw injury from the hands of mine.” ‘ ’That looks like reason, ’ ’ said 1, ’ ‘and I think I now see some light breaking through all this darkness. ’ ’ “Whaur?” ejaculated Hrs. Macgilli- vray. “There is liae light to me except the light o’ heaven. Nue earthly light will ever show me ’gain the living face o’ Duncan Macgillivray. He is dead— dead I” “And 1 may say the same of my hus band,” said the brother’s wife. “Is he not a-missiug as well as Duncan, and who lias a right to say that the one killed the other, or that other the one?” I was struck with the reasoning of the woman, who wa3 better educated than the deaconess and with a greater power of penetration, and the mystery was abcut to take another turn. 1 rva» about to enlarge upon what had been last said when Mrs. Girvan laid her hand upon my arm aud said. “Hush!” Wo Lad uo notion cf what the meant Every one looked at her now. I saw plainly that she was l-usy li-t.uiim. “I hear !>!• luou M u'gillivray’H voico on the si dr, ” alio said. And the words were scarcely spoken wheu a ci ■.. ■j , <l shuffling of footsteps was ht ord iu i u- l-.b1 y. 1 he door open ed, and in there came the deacon and his brother A.n :n “Whit is the meaning c’ a’ thia?” cried the cari up dignitary. “A dozen people have met uie and told mu 1 hav« been dead and buried fur fivo days. ” “And that I murdered my aiu broth er,” cried Angus. “And surely 1 am dead, ” added the deacon, with a laugh, “for my aiu wife is feared at me and wiuna even uffcr me her baud. Boggy, woman,” he con tinued as Lu Wont round and took Lis wife in his aims “what ails y- ” During all which the deaconess was iu a vertigo, with nothing in hei brain fixed except the image of her Lu^baiid, to- cited through a pair of staling eyes. “And Johnny Gow diduu tell you?” continued lie as he looked lound upon us all still in amazement. “No,” icr.ponded the wife as she be V» licit iiùil ilo gan to recover heiself. to tell?” “Just that Angus and I Lad gone down to Blaekha’ to see our brother Andrew, ” taid lie, "but I see now Low i */.! “Bi ggy. I' Oman.” he continued, as he went round and took )<u wit. In his aims. it is. Johnny was half drunk when I gave him lh<_ message, and the sixpence had helped to mair drink, and the dunk had driven him stupid.” “Why, deacon,” said I, “it has been a serious affair. The whole city Las been in the belief that you were murdered, and Angus was suspected of the deed. Nor is it to be wondered at, fur even yet we want explanations. ’ ’ “Explanations!” replied the deacon. “What mail- do ye need than just that as I was going up the High street I met Angus, who came up to me and said that he was a changed man, that he wanted the past to be forgotten, and that lie would give the world to bo friends wi’ me. 1 couldna refuse the offered hand of a brother, and after a’ I was as anxious to be friends again as he. So maybe our hearts got big, and there might Lave been something in baith our een tLat belongs mair to wom en than men. When we were in this saft mood, the coach for Galashiels was on the very point cf starting, and An gus said that ho intended to go to Blackha’ to buy sheep the next forenoon, but that If I were agreeable he would take his trip that day, and we might go together. I have no objections, said I, but we maun send notice to our wives. I beckoned Gov’., Lecausu I tnuught I could trust him, gave him a sixpence and got a promise. Next moment we were on the coach, and, by my truth, I never enjoyed a jaunt better in my life. Andrew was delighted to see us friends again, and maybe there was a sowther o’ kind that gacs mair to the heart than words. Bat what though the cadie de- ceived us, didna ye get,” he continued, as he iooked into tlie face of the dea coness “didna ye get the salmon that Angus sent you on the day it v> as Killed —the 19th?” The secret was all but out What was wanting was afterward ascertained. The driver Lad appropriated the fish be cause he saw no ticket of address upou it The ticket was found tv Hugh McPherson. And thus was explained a mystery which occupied the metropolis of Scotland neatly a week—in other words, which are legs or more applica ble to most mysteries, the worsted was colled off, and, behold, tho cork!—“Mys terious Legends of Edinburgh ” IRISH MARY It was the early days of the repoy mutiny, raid the revolt had alleadv lie- gnu. At Little Futterhabad. a small gov ernment depot occupied byccmpanies e.t the Sixth, o-.ie of the Invcrary rlflee, and a battalion of native foot, under Cap- taina Donaldson and Clare, though but 30 mil'D from Delhi, were all ur.oou- scions cf auv danger till, two days be torc, a hunger < u horseback anived at the cantonment with a nota from the efficci- in command of the neighboring town of Susi, informing Captain Don aldson that some cf the sepoys there had raised cries of disaffection, that a large body cf mutineers were reported as marching on the place, and therefore the officers of the Sixth were implored to start with all speed, and with whatever force they could muster, to intercept these latter, us, were they once to co ale tee with the disaffected within tho walls, the lives uf the English would in all probability be the sacrifice. No time was lost in complying with tue appeal contain- d in this dispatch, and the sen- ior captain (Duualdson) thought himself showing extraordinaiy prudence iu de ciding not to take the native battalion, iu which, however, he had full confi dence. Tho regiment inarched out to Futter habad an hour bcfuie sundown, leaving b<hind it, uesides the Boldiura’ wives and chikireu and the civiiiaus, an Eng lish sergeant and 10 men to overawe (1) the native troops; also the young wile of Captain Clare, with her little baby, 2 weeks old. Tho overpowering heat, dust and noise of the dirty little towu had so af- fected Mia Clare in her delicate state uf health that lior husband had mut ed her to a deserted mosque, about a quar ter of a mile distant from tho depot, and which, standing iu a garden thickly overgrown with palm and tulip trees, made a pleasant sui t of improvised Luu galow.for the invalid. The fierce day had faded into evening at last, the evening of the day cuter the departure of the troop«, and Mrs. Clare lay on her couch, her ayah squatted on the floor beside her, with her infant in her arms, ami the punkah waving with manotuuous regularity over her Lead us it was pulled to and lco by a servant seated iu the veranda ouGiJe.

Can it be the Sixth returning.'” “The mem Balfib is feverish.
