Perhaps so, â€" The organ ought to know whether he is adopting the wisest course or not. It is certain, however, that there is only one thing which could render it so, and that would be the fact!that Mr. McKellar is guilty, 1f he did really swindle Mr. Mil» lar, then he is wise to iay nothing. Under such _ circumstances, "Mum;" un~ doubtedly, should be the word. But if he is innocent, if he can by any explanation palliate his conduct, then Mr. McKellar is acting a most unwise and imprudent part in refusing to " speak at once." 1t is not only unwise and impolitic so fir as Le himself is concerned, butit is unfair to the country, whose fair fame is injured by the fact that one of her leading public men rests under the imputation of baving obâ€" tained money by false pretences, The Times says Mr. McKellar "will tell all he knows in due time," but the G:it organs will find it difficAlt to persuade people that a thoroughly innocent man would like to rest under the charge of being a swindler for one ‘instant longer than he could help. ns Certainly if matters go on as they have lately in Ontario, we shall not much longâ€" er be able to boast of the superior purity and honesty of our public men.

There are some women like this, who devote themselyes to Others, and seem to lose eight of themselve alto~ gethar. There are not too y of them, but they exist. Uriolh was o{ calling a migsal painter, an illauminator of ancient uscripts ; but the conceruns in which at time 1 speak of he was entirely absorbed, were neither liloru;y mnor artistic. He was altogether occupied with politics, machinations against the existing governtent, plans for overthrowing it, and setting up in its place a commonwealtk, in which, equal rights were to bs accorded to all, in which the highest noble in Venice wis to enjoy no priviliges whitever beyond those which were to be accorded to the neanest citizen in the town. â€" _ It was a most hazirdous plot against the State in which this Orioli was engaged ; he, and Iâ€"know not how imany others ; some living at Venice, some elsewhere, at Chioggis, at Verons, at Ravenna even, who knows? At all events, thay were scatterâ€" ed hitker and thither, and to be comâ€" municated with, when any intelligence was to be made known to fraternity, by letter. Altogether (her: was a deal of writing to be got through ; not letters only, but reports, statements, projects drawn up on pager Ag be _ circuâ€" lated among the different! conspirators. and it was in o:&ing such writ.inis out, or taking down matter of which they were to consist from her brother‘s lips, that Brigida made herself more tuseful than in almost any other way. The girl was an excellent writer, and could copy out a document so that it should be as readable as print. This was a rare accomplishment in those days, and Br;ijida was kept hard at it you may be assured, writing from dicta: tion, copying papefi of which duplicates were wanted, and B0 on, all through the day, and part of the nigth as well. um‘ 4 Aubiin 3 cbretedlin4d intmidines_a o9 ‘HeAnest , But ,forynll she was so hard worked, the young lady found time to do & little writing on herown account. . The fact is. that the signorina had a lover, one F.{llppo, ordinarâ€" ily cslled Lil;:po, Rinaldi, living at Padua, and with this young fellow she would cor» respond whenever she got a chance of sending aletter. . She wouldâ€"write to him of overit.hing that was going on, both of ‘her brother‘s doings and her own ; and very pretty letters they were, doubt, and such as any young gentle as much in tove asLippo was, would be very glad to ts I se’l‘bil brother and sister lived, as I have heard the story told, in a litfle piazzetta at the back of the Riva dei Sohiavoni, and not far from the church of St. Giprgio de Greci. It was an outâ€"of«theâ€"way kind of place, for it was very important for Orioli that he should live as retired as passible, and be as much as possible uno ed by any« body. Here, then, it that for the most part all those plots |and "machina~ tions in which Orioli was so deeply impliâ€" cated were concocted ; here, someâ€" times, one or more of thi oomgmton would come to confabulate with him, at times when there seemed to be the least chance of discovery. id > One Autumn afternoon brother and sister were engaged in %ro ing a docu~ ment to be sent to y special messenger that night. often happens ed, Luca was dictating, | his sister was writing. The light was fast fading, and Brigida had established t close to tae window to take advantage of all that was to be had. Orioli was at window too, but he was standing, leaning his forehead against one of the cross mullions which enclosed the small panes of glass, and fi:oflthwmmflep a behind the which had, it may mentidoned, two entrances, one giving| on the piazza eita, and the other on of the small canals which intersect the town in all diâ€" rections. There was little light in the room except just close to window, and ‘ the gathering darkness undisputed \ possession of the other of the apart meut. Orioli stood and 100 out on the piazzetta, but his eyes took in, as far as h6 was conscious, nothing of scene him. *He was absorbed | in the lefter which he was dictating to his sister, which related to a final meeting of brotherhood to which he belonged, which was to take place in a dnyl:,hlnd e time, place, and object of which he was place, and object of which he noding to ‘his Veronceh ‘ friend. .

How J wish fitut the days before you had become involve any of these terrible risks, were night." At this moment a slight noise in room attracted Luca‘s © attention, turning hastily from { Lx window, looking into that part of the: which was involved in comparative scurity, he was able to detect the forms of three men, whom he fte once were servants of the State. «We come to arrest you as head :gintor in a plot against the lawful ority of the Venetian Senate," saic chief officer, stepping forward out 0 DWIDREREGs â€"3 > ol s3 3c un ie lc The Venetian Senale in those days e short work of the trial of poli ofe fenders, There were so many of 1 that the Government, in its alarm for its own safety, dealt out severe justice to all sugch wmwithiu its reach.

This was Athe horrible ty which was awarded to Luca Orioli But what was th6 saddest part 0 and it was certainly felt to be so by Brigds, wes convicted of oo:s Ay him in this disgstrous plot, was demned to share his pynishment.

Nay, it is impossible to say whether the physical difference beâ€" tween themâ€"for Luca was a big, powerful man, while Brida was slightly and deliâ€" cately formed in an uncommon degreeâ€" .may not have helped to strengthen this feeling on the brother‘s part, that to keep his littleâ€"sister out of harm‘s way was one of the chief occupations of his life. _ _ That this frail creature should be involâ€" ved through him in so terrible a calamity was to Orioli a thought which was entirely insupportable. Her constitution was de licate as her frame was, and there could be little doubt that the exposure to the cold . and damp, f.r it was now late autumn, m ist cause her the extremest suffering. Death, of course, was inevita~ ble for both, as they were to hang there in the iron cage till famine did its work, but that she should suffer as well as die!

An iron cage bung out upon a crane like arm projecting from the top of the great belfry tower of Venice, and in it were the two malefactors who had incurred the wrath of the Venetian Senate. The cage and its occupants had been hung out a little before sunset, and while the light lasted the people in the. piszza below had stood about the base of the pillar gazing up at the uncommon sight. o "There was not much to see. Little could be made out at that height of the two figures in the cage; the structure itself and its ooc:fanu, looking not much bigger than a bird cage with & couple of linnets inside. Still the people knew that human creatures were up there, and they gezed so long as the light lasted, and not till it had quite faded did the last of them go away. ‘The cage would be there the next day, however, "that was. one com= fort,‘"‘ and after that who could tell how long. There wouldâ€"be a couple of corpses in it oneâ€"day instead of these living crea tures. The spectacle would: be more inâ€" teresting, if possible, than even now, . Hand in hand the brother and sister sat ‘ crouching on the floor of the cage, and waiting for the end. They spoke but selâ€" dom, a word or two now and then, an atâ€" tempt to encourage each other ; then there would come a long pause. while they took half unconscious note of the scene around, above, below. Mechanically their eyes dwelt on the near deâ€" tails of the huge column to which their prison was suspendel, . the ornamentation which looked so smooth and elaborate from below, but here close by ‘seemed quite rough and unfinished. The stars burnt above them, the twinkling lights came out in the city below,the dark lagoon stretched out as far as ’!.hey could see; the tower and belfries of the town showed dimly above the other buiidings, but none came near in height to the great Campanile from which they . hung, and which, when the bells ring out, seemed positively to sway with the vibration of the deafening sound. .i sk They were utterly wearied and exhaustâ€" ed. â€" It was cold, and the damp rose from the canal and the lagoon, and seemed‘ to chill them to the bone..

What a conspirator," he added, smiling bitterly, "what a dangerous subject.â€" Oh!‘" he cmed, his tone changing suddenly, ‘‘ that something could be done to deliver you from this dreadful fate!" . us «Do you wish me away, then, Luca?" She paused a moment, and her thoughts went back to happier times. " Luca," she went on, "how happy we used to be before you mixed up with the dreadâ€" ful plots and conspiracies ; when you used to work all day at your beautiful missals, and I sat by you making the patters which you had designed on my embroidery ; and Lippo, who used to be with us so often. Poor i.ippol I wonder what he is doing, and if he got the letter which I sent him after you wero_tn'_eet.od_"â€" a t s She stopped abruptly as har brother started up from the crouching position in which he had lain so long, u-ing‘fl‘: uuioto swing violently to and ;o by sudden movement. . ofjes‘m â€" What was that ?"" he cried. "Some« thing rushed by me in the air; was it a bird? It came quite near my head. Again!"‘ hecried, after a short interval. «Ah! it is not a bird. It isâ€"it is an ar« row i‘ «An arrow?" echoed Brigida; "what can that mean?""‘ ~The moon had come out brightly just at this time from behina & cloud, and they both gazed Jdown on the piua_' The sky was,/covered again pre» sently, and every thing was imdistinet, but Brigida thought she had made out some« thing like the figure of a man in the great square near the base of the column. < What can it niean?" said Brigida again. . "It. means,"‘ replied her brother, "that we are hung up here as a mark to be shot at. But in the dark, why in the dark ?" _ _ Brigida shuddéred involuntarily, and drew nearer to her brother. «"I hope they will kill me first,"‘ she said.. _ _ . .. & words were hardly out of her mouth when a third arrow came whizzing through the air. This time it struck Luca full on the shoulder. " it They aim welf by this dim light," he said. "Strange," he added, after a pause, 4 the arrow hit me full, and yet it has not pierced my skin, nor I think lt;io any wound. . But what is this? ‘ he "added a moment afterwards. A line had fallen across his arm, and as he drew one end of it to him he found that it was attached to the arrow which had struck him. "The arrow is blunted at the end, and there is a silken line attached to it." _ Quick in her woman‘s wit, quicker still in her love instinct, Brigida saw in an in« stant what had happened. * It is from Lippo," she crisd ; you know wlntsto:d marksman he is. I know he would help "«There is something fastened .to the line," said Luca, pulling it swiftly into the cage. "It is heavy," he continued, " and gets heavier as I draw it nearer.

Rapidly, but skilfully, he fastened one end of the rope to the cage, and then tenderly, but very securely, wouni the other end about his sister‘s body.â€" . _ â€" *« How termble it looks," said the fl: 1, gor‘ng down in the darkness « *« Luca," she cried, as if a sudden thought bes sttuck her, " you will let me down, p99 66 Bo' but who will let you down ?" «I shall descend the rope hand over hand as I have done scores of times for putun? at the gymnasium.

It appears that some years ago a certain widow Martel, living in the Rue de la Lune, fell a victim to a strange disease, which many persons attributed to poisoning. Suspicion fell on one Duval, who lived with the widow, but nothing transpired against him, and the subject was dropped. This Duval was last week sitting in a wine shop in compary with an agent of the police, who had long detormin;i to solve the problem, when a . seller of young rooks came by and entered. the wine shop to offer some to the customâ€" ers, On seeing the rookl,Dnvd,fi;rrh‘ ting himself, exclaimed, " When I killed Madame Martel, she had two!"‘ Then, suddenly :uming pale, he fell forward in ;ut:ht: 0 unooucn:fumuh:o l;l.einglukon Y flmm’ police, he at length acknowledged his crime, " preferring,"‘ as he hnmuf{ ilf said, " to expiate it, rather any longfidthu endure the silence to which he reduced his conscience." kLxtensive stock of Wool Car, pets, in two and three ply ; alsoâ€" exr.
