Capital Punishment.
In the Democratic Review of November, 1822,
there was an account of the trial of Harry Blake for
murder , who was eonu'eted upon circumstantial evi-
dence, and hung. About three months after his
death , the Jud ge who presided at his trial , received
a note from a prisoner under sentence of death , re-
questing to see him without delay, as his sentence
was to he carried into effect the day following. On
his way thither , he overtook an old man walking
slowly, who accosted him , and recognized him to be
Caleb Grayson , who had been a witness at Blake's
tr ial , and had a similar note to his own , but equally
at a loss to know-the meaning of the summons. They
bot h entered the cell together. The prisoner did not
move, but raised his head , when Grayson recogniz-
ed having seen him at a tavern the nightbe fore
Blake 's ex ecution , and at the pillows.
'Wel l, Jud ge,' said he, 'I sent for you to see if
. you can 't pet me out of this scrape. Must I hang
tomorrow ?'
I The Jud ge shook his head : 'It's idle to hope, no-
thing can prevent your execution.'
'An application might be made to the highest au-
thorities ,' said the prisoner. 'Pardons have come
somet imes on the scaffold.'
'None will come in your case,' replied the Judge,
'it is needless for me to dwell on your offences now ,
for it was one that had no palliation , and you may
rest assured , that whatever may ha ve occurred in
ot hes eases, no pardon will come in yours. In fact ,
I understan d that an application has been made for
one, by your counsel , and has been refused.'
The features of the prisoner underwent no change;
nor did the expression of his face alter in the least.
But after a moment 's pause, he said : 'Is this true ,
Judge—upon your honor ?'
'It is,' replied the Judge.
'Then 1know the worst ,' replied the criminal ,
coldly, 'and will now tell what I have to communi-
cate, which I would not have done, while th«re whs
a hope of escape. You ,' said he, turn ing to the
Jud ge, 'presided at the trial of young Harry Blake
who
"was accused of murder, an d senten ced him to
deat h.'
'I did.'
'And you,' said he turning to Grayson , 'were one
of the witnesses against him. You swore you saw
him stab Wickliffe. On your testimony princi pally
he was hung.'*
'I was,' replied the old man , 'I saw him with my
own eyes.'
The prisoner uttered a low sneering laugh , as he
said, turning to the Jud ge : I
'You , siiysenteneed an innocent man.|
'And you ,' said he.turning to the other , "swore to
a falsehood. Harry Blake did not kill Wickliffe.
He was as innocent of the sin of murder as yon are
more innocent than you are now.'
The old man staggered as if he had been struck ,'
and leaned against the table to supp ort hi mself,while
the condemned stood opposite him , looking at liim
with an indifferent air.
' Yes, old man ,' said he sternl y, 'you have blood
and prejury on your soul, for 1,1
,' said he, stepping
forward so that the light of the lamp fell strong ly
on his savage features, ' I murdered William Wick-
liffe ! I did it! Thank God I did it , for I had a* long
score to settle with him. But Blake had no hand in
it. I met Wickliffe on that afternoon alone—with
none to interfere between us. I told him of the in-
juries he had done me, and told him that the time
was come for redress. He endeavored to escape,
but I followed him up; I grappled with him , and
stabbed Kim. As I did so, I heard the clatter of
horses hoofs., and I leaped into a clump of bushes by
the road side. At that moment Blake came up, and
found Wickliffe lying in the road. You know the
rest. The tale he told was as true as the gospel.—
He was only attempt ing to draw the knife from the
man 's breast , when you came tip and charged bin
with murder.'
' Good God ! Can this be possible !
' ejaculated
the old man. ' It cannot. Villain , you are a liar V
'Pshaw !
' muttered the man. 'W hat could !
gcin by a lie ? Tomorrow I die.'
' I don 't believe it! 1 don 't believe it !
' exclaimed
Grayson , pacing tlie cell and wring ing his bands.—
' God in mercy grant that it may be false I that this
dreadful sin may not be upon me.'
The prisoner sat down and looked at the Jud ge
and the witness , with a calmness which had some-
thing almost friendish in it , when contrasted with
the extreme agitation of the one , and the mental a-
gony of the other.
At last the old man stopped in front of him ; and
with a calmness so suddenl y assumed in the midst of
hi, paroxysms of remorse, that it even overawed the
crim inal , said : ' You are one whose life has been a
tissue of crime and falehood. You must prove what
you have said, or I'll not believe it.'
' Be it so,' replied the prisoner. 'I saw the whole
transaction , and heard all ybur testimony at the
trial ; for I was there too. I'll now tell you what
occurred at the spot of the murder , which you did
not mention , but which I saw. When you rode up,
the man with yon jumped off his horse, and seized
Blake by the collar ; your hat fell off on the pommel
of the saddle, but you caught it before it reached
the around. You then sprang off your horse, and
while Walton held Blake, you examined the body.
You attemp ted to pull the knife from his breast, but
it was covered with blood, and slipped from your
fiivers You rubbed your hands on the ground .and
aofn» to a bush which grew by the road side,, broke
off some leaves and wi ped your hands upon them ,
and af terwards the handle of the kn.fe. You then
drew it out and washed it in a puddleof water by the
b sh. As you did so, you looked at Blake , who
was standing with his arms folded and *ho -, ,
' don 't be uneasy about me, Caleb ; I-d.dn t kill
Wickliffe, and don 't intend to escape.' At one time
you were within six feet of where I was. It slucky
you didn't find me, for I was ready at that moment
to send you to keep company with Wickliffe !but I
saw all, even when you stumbled anil dropped your
gloves, as you mounted your horse.'
' God have mercy upon me !
' ejaculated Grayson.
' This is all true. But one word more. 1 heard
Wickliffe , as we rod« up, shjiek out , 'Mercy .mercy,
Harry !
"
' He was begging for his life—my first name is
Harry !
'
The old .man clasped his hands across his face,
and fell senseless to the floor.
It is needless to go into the details of the prisoner 's
confession , which was so full and clear, that it left
no doubt on the mind of the Jud ge that he was
guilty of Wickliffe's murder , and that Harry Blake
was another of those who had gone to swell the. list
of victims to Circumstantial Evidence.
Let the sacred obligations which have devolved
on this generation and on us, sink deep into our
hearts. Those are dail y dropping from among us,
who established our liberty and our government. —
The great trust now descends to new hands. Let
us apply ourselves to that which is presented to us,
as our appropriate object. * * * Let us culti-
vate a true spirit of union and harmony. In pur-
suing the great object , which our condition points
ou t to us, let us act under a settled conviction , and
an habitual feeling, that these twenty-fou r states are
one country. Let our conceptions be enlarged to
the circle of our duties. Let us extend our ideas
over the whole of the -vast field in which we are
called to act. Let our object be, ox;r country ,
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY , AND NOTHING BUT O UR
country. And by the blessing of God , ma y. that
countr y itself , become a vast and splendid monu-
ment , not of oppression and terror , but of wisdom ,
of peace, and liberty, upon which the world, may
gaze with admiration forever.—[Webster.
Duty ©I Patriotism.
The world estimates men by their success in life ;
and , by general consent, success is evidence of supe-
riority .
Never , under any circumstances ,!issume a respon-
sibility you can avoid consistentl y with your duty to
yourself and others.
Base all your actions upon a princi ple of right;
preserve your integrity of character , and in doing
this , never reckon cost.
Remember that self interest is more likel y to warp
your judgment than all other circumstances com-
bined ; there fore, look well to your duty when youi
interest is concerned.
Never make money at the expense of your repu-
tation.
Be neither lavish nor niggardl y ; of the two, a
void the latter. A n0^

ed, but public favor "is! a stepping stone to prefer
ment—therefore generous feelings should be culti
vated.
Say but little—think much—and do more.
Let your expenses be such as to leave a balance
in your pocket. Ready money is a good friend in
need.
Keep clear of the law ; for when you gain your
case, you are generall y the loser of money.
Avoid borrowing and lending.
Wine-drin king and cigar-smoking are bad habits.
They impair the mind and pocket , and lead to a
waste of time.
Never relate your misfortunes, and never grieve
over what you cannot prevent.—[Mercantile Times.
Thoughts for t!se Pnbflc.
You should bear constantl y in mind that nine-
tent hs of us are, from the very nature and necessi-
ties of the world , born to gain our livelihood by the
swea t of the brow. What reason have we then , to
presume that our children are not to do the same ?
If they be, as now and then one will be, endowed
with extraordinary powers of mind .those extraor-
dinary powers of mind may have an opportunity of
developing themselves ? and if they never have that
opportunity, the harm is not very great to us or to
the m. Nor does it hence, follow that the descend-
ants of laborers are always ,to be laborers. The
path upward is steep and long, to be sure. Indus-
try, care, .skill, excel lence, in the present parcnt ,lay
the fou ndat ion of a rise, under more favorable cir-
cu mstances, lor the children. The children of these
take another rise.; and by-and-by the descendants
of the present laborer become gentlemen. This is
the natural progress. It is by attempting to reach
the top at a single leap, that so much misery is pro-
duced in the world. Society may aid"in making the
' laborers virtuous and happy by bring ing children
up to labor with steadiness , with care and with skill

Wising in tnc World.
Why I left the Anvil.
BY ELIIIU BURRIT.
I see it, you would ask me what I have to say for
myself for dropping t he hammer and tak ing up the
quill ,as a member of your profession. I will be honest
now,and tell you the whole story. 1was transported
from the anvil to the editor 's chair by the genius of
mach inery. Don't smile, friends, it is even so. I
had stood and looked for hours on those thoughtless,
iron intellects , those iron fingered , sober, supple au-
tomat ions, as they caught up a bale of cotton , and
tw irled it in a twinkling of an eye, into a whirlwind
whizzing shrods , and laid it at my feet in folds of
snow-wh ite eloth .rcad y lor the use of our most volup-
tuous anti podes. They were wonderful things those
looms and spindles; but they could not spin thoug hts;
there was no attribute of Divinity in them , and 1
adm ired , noth ing more. They were excessively cu-
rious, but I could estimate the whole compass of
their doings and destiny in finger power, so I came
away , and left them spinning cotton.
One day I was tun ing my anvil beneath a hot iron ,
and busy with the thoug ht , that there was as much
intellectual philosophy in my hammer as in any of
the enginery a-going in modern times, when a most
unearthl y screaming pierced my ears ; I stepped to
the door, mid there was a great Iron Horse ! Yesl
he had come, looking for all the world like the great
Dragon we read of in Scripture , harnessed to half a
living world and just landed on thp earth , w here he
stood bra ying in surprise and indi gnation at the
"base use" to which he had been turned. 1saw the
gigant ic hexaped move with a power that madp the
ea
"
th tremble for miles. I saw the army of human
beings gliding with the velocity of the wind over the
iron t rack , and droves of cattle travelling in their
stirbles at the rate of twenty miles an hour towards
the ir city slaughter-house. It was wonderfull. The
little busy bee-winged machinery of the cotton fac-
tory dw indled into ,, insignificance before it—Mon-
strous beast of passage and burden ! it devoured the
intervening dista nce.and wedded the cities together!
But for its furnace heart and iron sinews, it was
nothing but a beast , an enormous aggregation of
horse-power. And I wont back to the forge with
unimpaired reverence for the intellectual philosophy
of my hammer.
Passing along the street one afternoon I heard a
noise in an old build ing, as of some one puffing a
pair of bellows. So, withou t more ado, I stepped in ,
and there , in a corner of a room , I saw the chef-d'-
oeuvre of all the machinery that has ever been in-
vented since the birth of Tubal Cain. In its con-
struction it-was as simple and unassuming as a cheese-
press. It went with a lever—lever , lon ger,stronger
than that with which Archimedes promised to lift the
world.'
' It is a printing press,' said a boy.standing by the
ink-troug h, with a cueless turban of brown paper on
his head.
' A printing press !
'. I querricd , musing ly, to my-
self. 'A printing press ? what do you print ?' I
asked.
'Print? ' said the boy staring at _ xne, doubtfull y,
' why, we print thoug hts.'
' Print thoughts ?' I slowly repeated after him ;—
an d we stood looking for a moment at each other in
mutual admiration ; he in the absen ce of an idea ,and
I in pursuit of one. But I looked at him the hard-
est, and he left another ink mark on his forehead ,
from a pathetic motion of his left hand , to quicken
his apprehension of his meaning.
' Wh y, yes,' he reiterated ,in a tone of forced con-
fidence , as if asserting an idea , which , thou gh having
been curreMt a hundred years might still be counter-
feit, for all he could show on the spot, "we print
thoug hts, to be sure."
' But , my boy,' I asked in honest soberness, 'what
are thoughts , and how can you get hold of them to
print them ?' . >
' Thoughts are what comes out of people s minds ,
he replied. ' Get hold of them indeed ? Wh y.minds
arn 't nothing you can get hold of, nor thoughts eith-
er. AH the minds that ever thought , and all the
thounlrts that minds ever made, wou ldn 't make a
ball as big as your fist. Minds, the y say, are just-
like air ; you can 't see them; they don 't make any
noise.nor have an y color; they don 't weigh anything .
Bill Deepcut, the sexton , says that a man weighs
just as much when his mind has gone out of him as
he did before. No, sir, all the minds that ever lived
wouldn 't weigh an ounce troy.'
' Then how do you print thoughts t 1asKeu , it
minds are thin as air, and t houghts th inner still ,and
make no noise, and have no substance , shade or col-
or ; and are lik e winds .and more than the winds .are
anyw here iu a moment -; sometimes in heaven , and
sometimes on earth , and in the waters under the
eart h, how can you got hold of them ? how can yon
see them when cau ght , or show them to others?'
Ezekiel's eyes grew luminous with a new iden .and
pushinn- his ink y-rolled proud ly across the meta lic
page of the newspaper , he replied , 'Thoug hts wor k
and walk in things what make tracks ; and we take
them trac ks and stamp them on paper .or iron .wood ,
stone .or what not. This is the way we print thoug hts.
Don 't you understand ?'
The
"pressman let go the lever , and looked intero-
frat ivel y at Ezekiel , beginning at the patch of one of
his str ingless brogans , and following up his eye to
the top of the boys brown paper bluffcap. Ezekiel
comprehended the felicity of his illust rations , and
wi ping his hands upon his tow-apron , graduall y as-
sumed an att itude of earnest exposition. , Igave him
in encourag ing wink , and so he went on.
'Thought
'
s make track s ,' he continue d .impressive-
ly, as if evolving a new phrase of the idea by repe at-
ing it slowl y. Seeing we assented to this proposi-
tion inquiring ly, he stepped to the type-case, with
his eye fixed admonishing !}
' u pon us. ' Thoug hts
make tracks ,' he repeated , arran ging in his left hand
a score or two Of metal sli ps, 'and with these here
letters we can take the exact impression of every
tfTouo
ht that ever went out of the heart of a human
man ; and we can print it , too , give us paper and
ink enoug h, till the great round earth is blanketed
around with a coverlid of thoug hts as much like the
pattern as two peas.' Ezekiel seemed to grow an
inch at every word ,and the brawny pressman looked
first at him , and then at the press, wii h evident as-
tonishment. ' Talk about the mind's living forever ,'
exclaimed the boy, pointing patronizingly at the
"round , as if minds were lying there incapable of
immortality until the printer reached it a hel ping
hand , 'why, the world is brimful of live , bri ght , in-
dustrious thought , which would have been dead jdead
as a stone , if it hadn 't been for a boy like me who
has run the ink-rollers. Immortality, indeed ! wh y
people's minds,' he continued with his climbing into
the profanel y sublime , ¦' peoples minds wouldn 't be
immortal if' twasn 't for the printers , at any rate, in'
this here planetary bury ing ground. We are the
chaps that manufactured immortality for dead men ,1
he subjoined , slapp ing the pressman graciousl y on
the shoulder. The latter took it as a dubbed kni ght
of the legion of honor , for the boy had put the mys-
teries of his profession in sublime apocal ypse. 'Give
us one good health y mind ,' resumed EzeUiel , 'to
think for us, and we will furnish a dozen worlds as
big as this with thoug hts to order. Give us such a
man , and we will ensure his life ; we will keep him
alive forever among the living. He can 't dic ,no way
you can fix it ,when once we have touched him with
these here bits of ink y pewter^ H« shan 't die nor
sleep. We will keep his mind at work on all the
minds that live on the earth , and all the minds that
shall come to live here as long as the world stands.'
'Ezekiel .'I asked .in a subdued tone of reverence ,
' will ,you print my thoug hts, too ?'
' Yes, that 1will .he replied .'if you will think some
of;the right kind.'
'Yes, that he will ,'echoed the pressman.
And I went home and thoug ht , and Ezekiel has
printed my 'thoug ht-tracks' ever since.
[From the Derby Journal.]
Yesterday morning, in company witlv a young
friend , we took the Naugatuck cars, and after a ride
of half an hour , found ourselves in the beautiful town
of Stratford. Losing no time, we proceeded to the
residence of Mr. , a gentleman of veracity,
whom , we were informed , had witnessed on the
Monday evening previous,the mysterious doings of
t he invisible spirits .and from whom we gathered the
following particulars , for the truthfulness of which
he stands read y to vouch , as passing under his im-
mediate observation.
It may be well to remark here.that these rapping'
have been heard for the past six weeks,' and the
gentleman who gave us the informat ion had been a
stron" unbeliever until the ni ght of which he speaks.
On Monday last , havin g been repeatedl y request-
ed by the occupant of the house where these spirits
hold thei r revelry, to "call and satisf y himself of the
facts in the case, Mr.
N
did go, and up to 4 o'efk
P. M., saw nothing that shook his former belief , but
toward evening, while sitting with the famil y near
the fire-place, the old famil y bible moved from the
bureau where it had been placed , to another part of
the room , j»nd immediatel y after followed books
from the shelves, spoons, knives and forks , &c. A
spool of thread was suspended from the ceiling'
, di-
rectl y in front of him , while every member of the
famil y remained in their seats , and eould not in any
manner have had any thing to do with it. Thus
things progressed, Until about 12 or 1 o'clock , when
the gentleman retired. He had not been long in
hed
"
before a loud noise was heard in the hall , and
j umping up ho opened 'the door , but saw no one.—
Soon after , a loud "knocking was heard in the closet.
Presuming that he had certainl y caug ht the rogue,
th is time—he made a spring, but nothing was visi-
ble tKere. -
Fearing that some one of the family m.giu oe con-
nected with these mysterious doings , he proceeded
to the bed room of each , but. found them as he had
left-them , with the exception that the children were
sound asleep; the father and mother , and a young
lady were awake. Still various things continued to
fly about his head , and around him-some striking
him and others falling near him. Jiwt at this time
he heard a loud noise in the apartment where the
youn» lady slept , and hurry ing into the room , he
saw a small drawer that had left its place in the
bureau , butting against the headboard of the bed
with such force as to shiver the/drawer to pieces.
The youngjad y became frig htened , ami icu u
room. Panes of glass were broken—rapp ings heard
—small articles moved about-tables overturned ,
and , in fact , confusion reigned supreme. The gen-
tleman who witnessed these strange things thoug ht
that he might possibly be deluded , and to satisfy
himself, he went to the window—l6oked out^-felt in
hi s pocket?, anil called aloud. He is full y convinc-
ed that he was wide awake—in his night mind , and
that what he saw actuall y took place.
Having heard the story of one who had been on
the battle field , we, as a natural result , felt a great
curiosity to visit the scene , and see for ourself. Ac-
cepting a polite invitation of a resident of this now
alread y famous town , we were soon ushered into the
presence of the famil y, who have been so much an-
noyed not onl y by the astonished things which have
transp ired at ihoir residence , but the, many vile sto-
ries put in circulation derogatory to their characters;
and after a brief conversation , were shown the bi-
ble, the bureau , the glass broken-and the identical
poker , that had that morning taken it into its head
to jump out of the window , a'
nd provide for iisclf.—
We were also shown a lad , about 10 years o( »£<¦
>,
whose clothes have boon torn from his body. That
is every pair of pantaloons that he put on had been
,Vpped up, either in one of the logs, or at the side.-
The little fellow was much mortified , and elicited
our sympathy. ,, -„

$
j fG beg to call your attention to a new article for
9m-Ship's fastening, which we believe to be greatly
Mr to any material now used for that purpose—
I#LtOW METAL BOLTS.
^Although new in this market; they have been in ac-
f|<8Bse in all the English Ship Yards and Docks for a
™.BSperiod of time.
flig manufacturers, whose agents we are, were m-
'fWed to make a small quantity last Spring, by the de-
m|iof several ship-builders here -to obtain a sample of
wHSisFio
'r their own use. The-builders who have tried
*%OH-are so entirely satisfied with their character anc
yrorth,that the manufacturers have resolved upon mak -
WjMhern in large quantities-and offering them for sale.
,f eing firmer than the Copper Bolts, they bear much
M&ar drivino- ; and their composition prevents the
formation of the verdigris so much complained of as
\ it??fe?fll tQ Copper. Their resistance to corrosion caus-
''! 3rPem to wear more uniformly and longer than Cop-
"TpiBolts, a"'1they must have the preference over them.
* ^^ait-present price is about twenty per cent, less
™w Copper. , „ .
' ^i*''*' now prepared to receive orders foF »" "«e»
{SHntf uiM)d 'in Jhi p building, and can furnish an ai-
*
*as perfect as can be made. ,
.jjfefchall be pleased to show you these Bolts and le-
JW%-a*you to examine them at onr Store *o.

A very singular ease of divorce came before, the
court at Lei pzig some years ago. There was at that
time moving in the higher circles of society thefe, a
lad y distinguished as much for the imposing beauty
of her form as for the splendor of her appearance,
the richness of her dress, and the costliness of her
jewelrv. On the subject of her age no one was de-
finitel y infor med, for the dazzling splendor of her
appearance was such that it was impossible t& form
a distinct estimate of it. Whilst she generally bml
the appearance of being young, or approaching the
prime of file , there were these who pronounced her
much older than she appeared. Sprigh;
