large swing glass was smashed to atoms on the floor." I seized hold of the bed curtain to help me in springing out of bed, when it gave way in my hand; the wall above me seemed to come down bodily, burying me under the fallen mortar, and choking me with dust. I hid my hesd under the bed-clothes, thinking that if the crack of doom was about to come, it might as well find me there as anywhere else. I believe that I now fell into a long sound sleep, for when I awoke the welcomeiight of broad day was shining into the *K>m- I got up, dressed myself, and went for a walk to steady my nerves, before break fast. The freshness of the morning air revived me ; but as I proceeded with my walk", evidences of the violence of the storm offered themselves at every step. Branches of trees, broken tiles, debris of every description, strewed the paths. Stacks of chimneys-had been blown down, acd the tillage maypole, which hai stood through many a rough night, was snap ped in the centre. ,The lead on the roof of the church was torn iuto ribbon', and curled up ; and hay-stacks innumerable had been scattered in wisps over the coun try. Returning to my room, I more impressed with its wrecked appearance than I had been when I left it an hour or so previously. The pole of the French bed, which I had pulled down upon my self in the night, was lying upon the floor; and looking up to the hu^e hole in the wall, caused by the avalanche ol mortar which descended at the same time, I observed, obtruding from it, what ap peared to be the side of an iron box. I mounted on the bed, and genLiy removed it from its hiding-place. It was an ordi nary cash-box, tied round with a string, and sealed with Kdward G-athorne's seal. I put it aside, and continued my investi gations. Just outside the door of my room, at the end. of the corridor, I dis covered an empty linen-closet; and, by moving the door of this closet backwards and forwards, i con! i proiu.ee the melan choly sounds which were inexplicable and alarming in the dead of the night. At breakfast the hurricane was the general theme of conversation. In the course of the morning, I had an interview with Charlie in the library at which Mrs. Helmore was present. I placed in his hands the iron box. It was not locked, and came open as soon as we cut the string. It contained a packet of yellow letters, bearing the Indian post-mark, and showing signs of frequent perusal. One of these letters was in hand-writing differ ent from the rest; and we read this one first. It was an exquisitely sweet and soothing letter, breaking to George Gathorne the sad news of the death, in India, of the lady to whom he was en gaged. Her sister was the vvriter. In every line it could be seen that she feared her melancholy tidings would well-nigh break the heart of the man to whom she was addressing herself. Ihis commuica tion bore the signature ox "Houoria Verelst."

"My mother's name before she was married," Charlie interposed. Here, then, was the explanation of George Gathorne's secret. He had spent several years iv earlier Jife in India. There he met, aud .ioved, and won, Carrie Yereist. He came to England to make preparations: for his marriage, but she died of feyer soon after his departure. He received the news df her death at the very time he was expecting to welcome heron her return to Jinglaud, with the rest of her family. The effect of this blow upon his mind was disastrous ; he lived from that time, a life of eccentricity. In the place where it was found, he must have concealed the iron box, containing the clue to his past life, on the night when be ordered Jako to obtain for him the mortar and trowel ; and his unskilful workmanship was the origin of the catas trophe which befell my unlucky self.

He would never see Uonoria Verelst, after her arrival in England ; 6ut be mark ed his appreciation of her sympathy vritli him in his groat trouble, by making her son the master of Bay ford.

To the Editor of the Evisxi-vo Si'ak

Sic, —In tlie Croat this morning I notice a paragraph according its nicer! of pivti.-e to the City Council for " 'their attention to public comfort, by plentifully sprinkling the princi pal streets wilh water on Saturday night." As it rained heavily all day Saturday, I might be permitted to think thia was a work of supererogation, or, if you will pardon a bad pun, of mperirrigalion ; but as I am not in the City Council, I suppose I have no right to think. Heigbo ! "It neer rains but it pours!"

Joking apart, let ns give credit where credit is due, and inquire who pays for the 'Sprinkling," surely the Council? Surely i;W!! Not a drop does the public get from ilj and the "sprinkling" is paid by subscrip tion levied upon tlie pockets of the business people living in Queen-street. As one of those victims I protest. I often looked and longed for the water cart when " the sun in his meridian height" &c, &c, you know, but never saw it. It never struck me before to look for it when " Lite dews of night were falling fast," after a soaking wet day too. I shall pay no more.—l am, kc,
