From Diuken's IIousehoKl Words TARDY JUSTICE. tn tha year ot grace six'eon hundred ttn'J elgUty-seven, Lawrent Guillumotl d' AngUdrt, lived in a fine bouse in the Ruu lloyitle, at Paris, near tha Bastille. He and bis wifo lived in groat stvla.kfpt their (Jarriae, played hlh. talked iucossaiitly of their high birth and family estate, ap j3Mdto h'ivo plenty of monoy which tliey lent occasionally upon good sccurity nd on tho strength of their own represen tations obtained entrance into the society of some of the beast houses in Paris. For lha rost, they were a worthy, respactable oouple, liko hundreds of others; their only Mil being that tUoy gave themsolves out for being much richer and grander than they actually were; M. d'Anflndo buing a man of low birth and very moderate means. This was tho boginnipg of all tho sorrows that aftervvards befel them." M. d' Anglnde and his wife occupied the groater part of the house; but.as is general in Paris, tharo word dthef. Inmates. -A certain Count and Countess do Montgom tueti occiipiod the ground-floor and the rooms above. The ground floor consisted of three rooms, which all opened into a long ooiridor, at one end of which was tha porto-cochero of tho Court-yard, and at the other a staircase leading to tha rooms upon tho first-floor, whoro there was as small inner clost or strong rooni. Here tho count and countess' kept their money and jewels. Tho Abbe Francoi9 Gagnard, the count's almoner, a page, and a volvct-de-chambre, slfcpt in one of tha three rooms on tha , ground-floor. -Another was the salle-a-manger, and the one which opened from it served for different purpose?. "A friendly acquaintance soon sprung up between tha d' Anglades and the Mont goraraerids. Soori after- ho entered the house, the Count de Montaommeri receiv ed a large sum of money, partly louis-d'ors, soma of which wave quite new, and othors as oordon, or old ones. Tha remainder of the money was in thirteen bags, each bag containing thousand francs; also there was a bag containing eleven thousand five hundred liyres' in Spanish pistoles., ' All this money, -. .togethor with a magnificent pearl tiecklaco, estimated to be worth four thousand livres, was secured in a strong coffer, and tha coffer was carefully placed In the small, inner closet we havo men tioned. The d' Anglades , knew (ill .this, and had Tecommended no investment of his money to tha count. One day M. de Mont gommert and his wife 1 agreed to go and spend a few days at their oountry house of Ville yousiu, near Mont l'Here, and in vited their neighbors, the d' Anglades to acoompany them. They accepted tho in-; vitation; but subsequently made some frivolous exouse for remaining at home. The count and countess set off on Monday, the twenty -Second of September, ' sixteen hundred and eighty-seven, and gave out that they should return tho following Thursday. The almoner, 1'Abbe Gagnard, and all tho servant Accompanied them, ex cept a femmo-de-chaaibre, named For- menie, and one lacquoy. lour sewing women,7 employed to ombroidor some hangings for Madame do Montgom meri,. wore also left in the housi ; but th y were lodged in another part of the building. Tha key of the outer door of the room on the fust floor was confldod to the fcuimo-de-chambre; the Abbo Gagnard shut und double louke J the door of his room on" the ground-floor; and the family epnitel, considering that they had left every thing secure This was showing a eoiiterapt for burglars that, under tho cir- duuistanccs, amounted to Mshnoss; and tho family departed, consiJm ing that they had left fevcry thing, secure. , ihis was showing a contempt for burglars that, un- uer the circumstances, amounted to rash ness; and they seem to have thought so, for they roiurned homo suddenly, twenty- four hours earlier than thoy had intended. The count declared that 'his mind was troubled by the sight of somo drops of blood which he found upon a table cloth, that ho determined to quitVillo Vousin that moment, having a presentiment that something had happened. The nbbe and tho servants did notamvo unlil after him. The first thing that struck '.lie abbo was, Gliding his room-door ajar, al. hough, dur ing the absence of tho count and countess, it had seemed to be closed; the abbo hav ing double-locked it with his own hands, and tho key had never been out of his pos session. All tho servants remarked the fact also, but at the moment it did not, sin gular to staU?, mal;u mach impression on them. Supper va-!sert'ed to the count and countess in tho salle-n-mnnger, nnd they were still at table when thoir neighbor, d' Anglade, camo homo, at eleven o'clock, accompanied by the Abbs de floury and do Viliais, who had 6tippad with hurt all the house oila Presi jonte fcdbert. Find ing tho count and countess ivoro returned, tlr.iy all want in. and preseirrty Muhim i d' Anglndu joined llu-m. Afior a little lively conversation Ihey.iirl feopnrated for the night, an 1 everything Seemed ns usual. The next morning the Count do Mont gomnvri discovered that he had been rob- : hod. Tho lock of his strong box h:id been forced, and cvoiy thin it contiincd had ; bi:cii carried aVny. j He. of eoursf, mado a cnmplaiiit to the liouteiiant-crinliiiid . of llio ohatnlet; who,: with the proi-n"cur du roi and tiiocom-' missaiy of QoYu-v, lost no time Inn-pairing to the spot.

The officers proceodod to tho attics. M.idamo d'Angl.a to excused her self from accompanying thorn upon the plea of sudden fuuituoss. up to tbo attics the officers went; and concealed in an old chost, under wearing apparel and houso- linen, they found a rouleau of sixty louis au cordon, wrapped in a printed paper, which tho Count do Monfgommori declare ed was his genoalogy. Ha also said that part of Hie inouey stolen from him consist ed of louis au oordon of lha .year sixlecn hundred and oighty-six, aud sixteen hun dred and eighty -seven., . When d'Angla lo was ques'.ionod about this money. he stammered and could givo no ojcQuut of . how ho cauia by it. He soaraedin despair, and Madame d' Anglnde said that tha door of tho npartiuont of tho Abba do Gagnard had not been secured as it ought to havij becuiniid 'she insisted that itsliould likewise bo searched.. This was dono, it was found that nionov had boon abstracted from fivo bags, cnx:h containing a tliousnnd livros.

The lieutenant orimi ncl went So far as to say to d'Anglado . 'Either you or I must havo commuted tho robory.' .. So conviiioed Vai ho that ho had secur ed the 'guilty ucrsou, that ho declared it useless 10 waste time in milking any fur ther search, especially as tho count said ho could answer for tho honesty of all lna own sorvants. D'Anlada and his wife wero lakon for mally into custody;' their persons wore searched, and soveuteen louis-d'or and a dpublo pistole, Spanish money, were found in u Anglnde a pursa a circumstance which strengthened tho suspicion against him, as a part ot (lie money stolon was pis tolas. Itcamoout also that d'Anohtde, who was in the habit of supping every night 'rh' town, always took tha key of the street-door; tbero being no roirular porter; but, upon tho night" on which tho robbery must havo been committed, be supped at home, contrary to his usual custom. This crowning piece of circumstantial evidence seemed decisive; seals were placed ou all the doors, and - d'Anglado and bis wife were carried ofT to prison,- tho husband was placed in tho chatelot, und the wife in Fort d'Eveque. They were each thrown int" a dungeon, and tho jailors wero strict ly charged to prevent them seeing or com munioating with any one. There confine ment was made as severe as possible. Mad ame d'Anglado had a dangerous', misoar- iagc, but it brought no amelioration to the rigor of her prison. The trial came on. Witnesses were beard for the prosecution. Amongst the chief were the count's sorvants and the Abbe Gagnard. his almoner; and two of these witnesses doposod shat they had scon d'Anglade noar the door of tho abbo's department just, beforo tho arrival of the Couut do Montgoramori. Another witness ; swore that ho know d'Anglade to be a gambler, and that he had heard the Abba Houincall him an old clothes man; and this tallied with the fact that ho lont mon ey upon pledges. Another , witnoss deposed , to having board that d'Anglade had onco stolen a piece or ribbon, and that, before he came to livo in tha Rue Royale, a quantity of silver platojiad suddenly disappeared from the house where lu logaJ.. -Many other minute facts camoout, all tending to deep en tho suspicion against tho d'Anglades. Tho most damaginar o,-idonco, bowover, was gathered from his own replies to the interrogatories concerning his birth aud sources of income. An evident mystery surrounded him. He prevaricated in his answers. At last it was made clear, that in stead of being, ns ho had boasted, a gen tleman of high b'uth and I.-trga fortune, his origin was mean, and his income not more than two thousand livres, although ho liv ed expensively, paid for everything in ready monoy, and had money to le.hd out besides. This at onoe established him as a chevalier d'industrie, and put an end to tho sympathies of honest men. Added to all these facts and suspicions, d'Anglade and his wife coulradictod each other, nnd there wero discrepancies between their statements. The cn-e looked very black against them; but, ns the justice of those days would on no account condemn a pris oner without crivinj; him every chance of confessing his doom to ba well merited, d'Anglade was put to tho torture. The evidence was, after nil, only circumstan tial, and it would bo n satisfaction if he could be made to confess. He was put first to tho torture ordinary; and, as that brought nothing, thoy proceeded to the torture extraordinary, which brought noth ing either. As d'Anglade refused to con fess his guilt, thero was nothing to be done but to condom him w'tliout a confession, (for, of course, j istico never felt a mo mo.nt's hesitation as to his guilt, and, on the sixteenth of February 168!), ho wa underlined to tho galleys for nino years; hi-i Wife was banished from Paris for it lik period.'- AJo, ho was sentenced to pav n hue to tnc king, to mane restitution of the stolen good?-, aiid til pair ihroo thou nd livres to tho count by way of . com pensation, winch required mo:t man He had in the - world. 1 lie tiro nion'ln ho had spent in prison, during 'which s ho had lived, on bi end and water, without nothing but damp and rotten straw for a bed, bad entirely shntterod his constitution. Nev ertheless, o:i b-'ing taken from the toHufo- chftmbcr ho was thrown Into the darkest and frightfulcst dungeon of the Montgom- meri tower, from which ho was only ro- moved to bj tsiiceii all bVok'n to pieces to the Chateau da la Jonjtlle, . wlera ho was attached to a gang of forcits. He seemed to ba nt the pjir.t of death; ho de clared that ho was innocent of all knowledc of the robbery, received tin lastfaJinments with devotion, pardoned his enemies, nnd expected death with a composure that nvght nris either frdm a se'nsj-' of inri6c:'r;CJ or the 'prospect of release from intense suffer- ma:, .-no recovered, . iiowerer; sutiicieiuiv to depart. from tho galleys with the rest; but ho was obliged to be convoyed in a cart and two men wora employbd to lift him down evdry evening and lay him' upon "bis bed of straw and to lilt him ngaui into tho cart tbo next morning?., Tho CiUutda Mont gommcri, who was terribly nfrajd tiiat tho sufferings of d'Aiig'alo might soften tho' heart of justice, tr that dcn'.li might l"prive him of his revenge',' wis earnest in bis solicitations for the immediuld depart uro old Anglnde to tho galleys, aud station ed himself upon the road by which he must pass, in order to least Ins eyes upon the spoota-'do ot d Anglnde s nv.bery. - Upon the forth of Mtiy.b, sixteen bun dred nnd eighty-nine, u Anguuo niod in tha hospital nt Marseilles, four months nfter his arnvnl nt tho galleys.. No sooner was d'Anoladj dead, than a nonymous letters began to circulate in all directions, in which tho writer, declared that his conscience, would c'.vo him no ponce until he declared that M. d'An lade was ontiroly iiuiocin'. of tho robbery committed upon the Count de Montgom meri, and that the real criminal were one Vincent, nlias Belestie.and the Abbe Gag nard, alrrioner to the Count. It was added that n woman named La-Combla could givo important evidence. Hero was a terrible revolationl The ponitent prosecutor had become horror- struok at the possibility of having been tho means of subjecting an ' innocent man to so terrible a faio. , He ordered a certain Degrais, (thesama who was employed to persuade the poisoner, Madame da Brin villio'rs, tolenvo the convent, where " she had taken refuge,) to make inquiries into tho life nnd habits of the party now acens ed. Tho result was that Peter Vincent, or Belestro, tho first named, was discovered tV ba the son of " n poor tanner nt Mans. He had enlisted ns a Boldier, under the name of Belestre, nnd had risen to the rank of sergeanL; but had been tried and con damned lo tho galleys for bis, share in tho assassination of a miller. This wait bis first offence. His later' exploits bad been confined to burerlary nnd highway robbery After being vory poor for a long time, ancf a vagabond besides, he had tinished by purchasing an estate in tho neighborhood of Mans, for whioh he bad paid ten thous and livres. As to the Abbe Gagnard; bis father was jailor to the prison in M.n?,nnd ' tbo son had nothing to live upon when lie came lo Paris, except the, mas his he sai d at tho Laint Esprit. When )9 entered thts hou oof the Cjunt d j Montgommeri in quality oi aunonor, ho was in llio most abject poverty; but, three months afier he quitted him, "he lived in something like o pulence. Ho had never been suspected cf any especial ciime; but ho was intimste wi'.h Belestro. Ha was moreover perfectly acquainted with everything that passed in the count's household; and, above all, he knew that the count had received a large sum of money in the month of June.six'.cen hundred and -ighly-seven, and be hlso knew where it was kept; They were both arrested. The woman, Tf-ll r . .... . . iin uomtia, ana uartanr, Ucicstre s mis tress, guve evidence which was corrobora ted by a crowd of other witnesses; and it was clearly proved that IMeslro hud com mitted the robbery by means of false keys. an 1 with the assistance of Gagnard. B:1- ostre endured tho torture without confes sing anything: but Gagnard had less forti tude and confessed his ciime. Ho said, too, that ho was so much alartned when the lieutenant-criminel was examining tho pre mises, that had be ake l him the smallest question ho should have confessed every thing. A comfortable hearing for that of ficer! The gibbet relieved the world of those two scoun Jrels. N i'.hing then remained to bo dun. oxcept to m ike nniends to the victimofjulici.il error.

Parliament pronounc ed n decree on tho scventeeiith. of Juno, sixteen hundred and. ninety-three, which rdhnbi a'.ej the memory, of d'Anglade, jus tified tho wife, and rescinded her sentence, condemned tho Count Montgomrheri to make res.ituti j:i of the moiay that had been judged to him ns reparation for the robbery, and to pay nil expenses beside. A collection was made in the court for the benefit of tiie daughter of M. and MaJamt d'Anglade, which amounted to abovo a hundred thoiuind livres. .

Be pointed. Dou't write all around 8 subject without hitting it. 3. Smta facts, but don't stop to moral ise. It's a dmwsy subject; Ll the read er d bis own dreaming. 4. Eschew prefaces. Plunge nt once into your subject, like a swimmer in cold waler. 5. If you have written a sentence that you think particularly fine, draw your pen through it, A net child is always the worst in the family G. Condense. Make sure that you real ly have an idea, and then record it in the shortest possible terms. ATc want thoughts in their quintessence. 7. Whan your aMie.lo is complete, strike out MAe tenths .. of tht , adjectivft. The English is a strong language, but won't bear much 'reducing.' 8. Avoid all high flown . language. The plainest Ang!o:Saotv- wa)rd nre the best. Never use stilts when legs will do as well. 9. Make your sentences short. Every poriod is a milestone, at which the redder may stop nnd rest himself. 10. Write legibly. 1 Don't let your manuscript look like the tracks of a spider haf drowned in ink. We shan't mistake anybody for a genins, though he write as crabidly as Napoleon. Ditsis Makk3 tub Mas.
