The crirainel, guilty et the two crimes 'Which liad agitated Melbourne for so many months, turned out to be the respected manager of Tire Ileveneay- die Insurance Company. After the discovery of his guilt, the affairs of tie company were exanained, and found to be in a terrible state of cc A - fusion. Fenton, aided by Melton, had em,bezzled large sums of money, and so carefully manipulated the accounts that their defalcations had never been naked. It was true that once they were on the Verge of dieeovery unless some of the money was paid back, and this had been accomplished by the rob- bery of Kitty. Marehurst'a diamonds. As the two guilty men -svere dead, the only man who knew anything about the affair Was Mr. Villiers, who soon found things made so warm for him that he confessed all he knew about the crime. It appeared tnat, on the night of the supper, Fenton was in great strait ror want of money to replace that embezzled by himself and Melton, Hearing Kitty state where she kept her diamonds, he determined to steal thorn if he could do so.WIth safety. In ,goieg to the drawing -room, b.e saw 'ntewart deseendieg the Stairs, and, as the young man told him he nett been in Kitty's room putting the child to bed, he thought he could steal the jewels on that night, and let Stewart bear the blame. e With this idea, he went upstairs, took tbe dinaortds from their place, end, hi order to make things doubly secure, should his idea of implicating Stewart fall, he got out of the win- dow, and clambered down, so as to show that the house had been burg. larlously entered. - —In stealing round to the front of the hoese, he met Villiers, wile had seen alt, and, in order to make him hold his tongue, had given him the small diamoed crescent which Naball secured in Little Bourke Street. Of course, Kitty would not prosecute Keith, as he had saved her child's life; end it was his security in this belief that caused Feat= to urge on the aefective. About the murder, Villiers; as a raattet of fact, knew very little; but whoa Nebel' said that the man evho stole the diamonds also eonitnitted the ohne, he went to Foetal, atid taxed him with it. Fenton, at first, Indignantly denied the clause: tion, but ultimately confessed to Villiers that he had done so.

No sound save the sighing of the wind outside, the sobs of Eugenie, and the grave tones of the tier- gYmarin voice reading the Sermon' on the Mount, which in former days had been a great favorite with Kitty. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for .they shall see God." Poor soul, she that had not been Pure was now dying, and dreaded lest her impurity should be brought up negainitt her.

By far the happiest years of Schils lever life was spent in the German Athens. Carlyle tells; of the firat visit of Schiller in 1787 to Weimar. The poets Herder and Wieland reeeived him with cordial welcome and, with Wieland, nester of German letters, he soon formed a friendly Intimacy.

Together in bronze they stand to this day in a public square at Weimar— the Goethe.Sehiller mammon. The Memory of the twain is (tug- gested at every turn in the old town. The National Goethe Museum recalls theni with many precious relic. In Weimar music also foiled a ha- ven.
