ch dethroned Charles the Tenth in three days.

On the second day, Bervie and his host ventured into the streets,
watching the revolution (like other reckless Englishmen) at the risk of
their lives. In the confusion around them they were separated. Bervie,
searching for his companion, found his progress stopped by a barricade,
which had been desperately attacked, and desperately defended. Men in
blouses and men in uniform lay dead and dying together: the tricolored
flag waved over them, in token of the victory of the people.

Bervie had just revived a poor wretch with a drink from an overthrown
bowl of water, which still had a few drops left in it, when he felt
a hand laid on his shoulder from behind. He turned and discovered a
National Guard, who had been watching his charitable action. "Give a
helping hand to that poor fellow," said the citizen-soldier, pointing to
a workman standing near, grimed with blood and gunpowder. The tears were
rolling down the man's cheeks. "I can't see my way, sir, for crying,"
he said. "Help me to carry that sad burden into the next street." He
pointed to a rude wooden litter, on which lay a dead or wounded man, his
face and breast covered with an old cloak. "There is the best friend
the people ever had," the workman said. "He cured us, comforted us,
respected us, loved us. And there he lies, shot dead while he was
binding up the wounds of friends and enemies alike!"

"Whoever he is, he has died nobly," Bervie answered "May I look at him?"

The workman signed that he might look.

Bervie lifted the cloak--and met with Doctor Lagarde once more.

OFFICE OF THE SOLICITOR.]

No. 1.--Miss Bertha Laroche, of Nettlegrove Hall, testifies and says:--

I.

TOWARD the middle of June, in the year 1817, I went to take the waters
at Maplesworth, in Derbyshire, accompanied by my nearest relative--my
aunt.

I am an only child; and I was twenty-one years old at my last birthday.
On coming of age I inherited a house and lands in Derbyshire, together
with a fortune in money of one hundred thousand pounds. The only
education which I have received has been obtained within the last two or
three years of my life; and I have thus far seen nothing of Society,
in England or in any other civilized part of the world. I can be a
competent witness, it seems, in spite of these disadvantages. Anyhow, I
