111 I am a weak and aged woman I can neither protect nor defend my child-f-her Father is dead if you discard her, where is she to seek protection This eloquent appeal could hot find its Way to your heart. i Your' inhuman treatment continued, and was borne by your companion with unexampled fortitude for more than five years during which period, she prese nted you four children. It was the ninth day of the age of the youngest, and-when its mother had not yet left the room of her confinement, you selected tQ execute your hellish purpose. Then, when she clasped to her bosom her helpless innocent, with this (instrument (a knife) still covered with her blood, you commenced the work of death. Nay, her fife was not, sufficient to appease your vengeance her mangled corpse gave unet uivocal proofs, that many of her wounds could have been inflicted only to try the strength of her nerves.

The keen edge of the knife' made her forget her infant and her she fled'; you pursued her arid, dealt -to her ii blow! that arrested her feeble flight you then dropped the-knife, went to your trunk and drew from it this instrument of keener edge (a razor, and with you severed her head from her body. For all what re Vour defence A plea that would deprive her of all that she has left behind her, her reputation. Happily for her memory, this lies beyond the rjeach of your vengeance. Your efTbns to tarnish it, have only given to it additicnal lustre. If there was, one in this vast assei nbly who witnessed ypur trial, that harboreel for a moment a suspicion' dishonorable to herj ps conscience now rebukes him for his cruelty.

After five months separation after producing the in mates of vour familv. vou have not been able to extort from one, a single word that could alarm even jealousy itself. All attest that she was constant, artless, mek, submissive and kind 1 Oh, she would have been a prize to "any man but you'; had you permitted her to live, she would have been a blessing to your children. Poor jielpless orphans, what is now to be their dfestinv who' 'is! left to watch overt their to chas ten their morals, to lead them to virtue's shrine.

If it be not faithful to the original, it is only because the coloring is not deep With all this weght of sin upon vour head, vou have but twenty days to live. The hour is at hand when you must leave us, and hasten into the presence of a whose frown is far more' than the sentence which now consigns you to the tomb. Are you prepared for the. interview or haveyoii wrought yourself into the belief that there is no futurity and Will you rest satisfied in this until you are roused from your torpor by the signal for vour, appearance at the bar of the Most High Ah, sir, you are risking too much upon your opinion. Should you err in this particular, the anguish which new rends your bosom, is peace when compared to the misery that awaits you.

When ypu reflect that thf- wisest, ablest and best of men are against you, does it not sometimes occur to you that you may be in error When you open th sacred volume, are you not sometimes startled with the thought, that it Tnay be true If it be, how dreadful are its denunciations against you. But amidst its thunders, it breathes a whisper of consolation, ven to the most hardened offender. even you, all bloody as you are, may be vet within the reach of its kind promises. Fly then, beseech you, to the last stay of the sinner hope tor a happy eternity. You have nothing to bind you to this life- there is not a being upon earth whom you can call your friend- not one who would dare to acknowledge ypu as a friend" You have arrested the throbbings of the only bosom that could now (beat in unison with your own you have silenced the only lips that could speak a word of consolation to your drooping spirits.

1 But there is an all-ruling Power above who may not forsake you, when your kinsmen and countrymen disown you. While the light of life yet gleams upon your short and dreary path to the grave, catch the fleet ing moment to" bespeak the intercession of mat Koaeemer, wnose power is equal to your He may yet wash out the foul stain that renders you loathsome to the wbrld, and raise you to mansions of bliss, where you may again be greeted and once more be forgiven by the kind companion of your bosom, Hear now the sentence of the law, and then farewell for ever. 1 You, John M. will be reconduct-to. the place from whence you came, where you will be kept in and safe i custody until Friday, the 7th day of November, next, when jfou will be taken to some convenient place of execution, and there, between the hours of ten in the forenoon and two in the afternoon, you will be suspended by the neck until you are.
