Great was the horror of the servants when, on hearing wild shriek' of their mistress, they beheld the room in wild disorder, their mistress lying on the floor in a swoon, and the. corpse of their muster hanging from the bed, with the throat cut from car to ear. A single line in the Journal de Paris announced his ruin to his creditors. 'How well mourning becomes the widow Gorgeonl' was the exclamation whenever the beauteous Diana appeared iu public. And truly it did become her, and suitors were not slow iu telling her so, howbeit, jealous chime openly avowed that none knew it better than the wiJd'iw lieielf.

For a while she was deeply impressed by the mysteuions tone of the strange note. But Captain De Belorgey, a retired officer, who, though old and ugly, possessed an ample fortune, soon dispelled her vague fears, and, six months after sho became the widow Gor geon, she was Mad.

lii A f-'iag full i of If turned his present situation, which, as Usui. with his class, he fully appreciated. But ir friend Gorgeon was so ocenpied iu amassing his little fortune, that he had bad no opportunity of marrying; and as he desired, above all things, to perpetuate the race of ho now turned bis mind towards securing a wife worthy to assist him in attaining that laudable ambition. Xi common woman would satisfy our parvenu; oh! no; the lady to suit him Bhould possess more than ordinary accomplishments; as to wealth, why, he hud enough for both. 'Tis easy to forsee that our pompous Jacques will probably eatch a Tartar.

The "Almanack des liases," the leading journal of that day, contained several "bouquets des verses, addressed to Mdlle. Diana this lady it was whom Jacques Gorgeon proposed to marry. The banker's suit was successful, and the peerless Diana became mistress of the mansion in the Faubourg Saint Honore. Intoxicated with joy was the worthy banker, and Diana failed not to take advantugc of her opportunity. Splendid dresses, of the most costly fa brics, magnificent shawls, pieces of jewelry, a now house, of the best style, and in the most aristocratic square, a carriage and horses un rivalled, in fact, everything a womuti, iinngiu- icg herself possessed of boundless wealth, could fancy, was sported by Madame Gorged: regardless of expenditure.

"Who is that in that splendid coach;" would one dandy say to another. I Why, that i the wifu of a stroll banker. Hotol des itermesr and then fie eleeant Aricer derisively, On the day of his marriage, Gordon count-t- hi'; money and found he possessed just four hundred thousand livrcs a nice little sum, but not a second Peru; gold pieces, you ki.ow, are round, and will, therefore, roll away very easily; accordingly, he had not been married a year, ere ho was involved in debt. The hon-ev-moon was pas-ed before ho thought of the enormous rate at which the pieces were disappearing. One morning, in looking over his iK'Connts, he discovered an appalling deficit almost all his capital was swallowed.

'Diana makes a brave tho'ight he, 'but then, nlie is so handsome; yet I cannot help it, my cunlit must be preserved: this extravagance must come to an end Diana, however, would listen to no argu ment; so Jacques yielded, curing not what happened after he had his day. But, uhis! his day came full soon; for on going to his treasury one morning, he was petrified with astonishment to see it empty; ho had not a cent of his own there, however, were the funds of his depositors. He looked at the money awhile and then begun to count it. Two hundred thousand livres, besides notes and bonds to a much larger amount. Ah! thought ho, if it were only mine.

The wish is father to the thought. Gorgeon depicted to himself what he would be.obliged to endure; scorn, poverty, perhaps imprisonment, and therevilings of his haughty yrife: I could never survive it, thought be. He resolved to die, not in reality, but only Ho packed coyetea guiU 1 his portmanteau; the notes and bills were quietly placed in his pocket-book, aud, going out, he sought the sexton of one of the cemeteries; with this villain ho bargained for the corpse of a man about his own size, and as much like him as possible, to be delivered at his house that night. Late in tho evening he returned home. Madame had gone to the Comedie Fran- cnise; a new piece was to be produced.

Carefully did Jacques examine his bills and his gold, and carefully re-arrange them iu his and pytniin.Toai. Tho servants, by his ordora, were enjoying themselves in the kitchen, and he himself admitted a masked man, who bore on his shoulders a long sack 'Brave fellowf said the Banker, 'here is your reward, but remember 'Ay, ay, replied the ruffian, 'mum's the word; if this night's work were known, 'twould be bad for us He was gono. Again Jacques Gorgeon peered around to assure himself of his safety, and then, drawing forth the body, placed it iu his bed. Ho then took a razor and cutting tho throat of. (he corpse, arranged everything about it so as to produce the impression that ho had perished by his own hand; after which, taking his ill-gotten (jiuiu, he departed.
