PARTING INTERVIEW WITH HIS SON AND
BROTHER.

On Monday Mr. Fauntleroy, soon after ha rose from a
sound might's repose, was visited by the Rev. Mr. Sprin-
gett, who info-Intel him that the Sheriffs had given direc-
tion+ that his son and brother should be permitted to
remain with hint until three o'clock. and that they then
must take their Coal leave of him. He appeared extrenwly
cheerful after breakfast, and after lie had prayed with Mr.
Springett for half an hour. his son and brother entered his
apartment. He said, upon seeing them, "I do not fear
this intervi ow, became I know that we shall be all able to
bear it. We ere met for the last time, and you see me re-
sietted and without fear." His son took his right hand,
while his brother, who made a great effort to be as calm
aml tranquil as himself, sat by him and took his left. The
turnkey who has been employed in watching and waiting
upon him, rctired to another corner of the apartment.
" Suppose," said Mr. Fauntleroy, " we read a prayer or
two, it will make us more cheerful. I always find it
elevate my spirits." Mr. Fauntleroy's brother immedi-
ately took the prayer book which the Rev. Mr. Cotton had
put into the hands of the unfortunate man upon his first
entrance into the prison. Ile made two or three attempts
to read, but they were ineffectual. His son, who seemed
much more firm, in fact, at every int rview with him,
then took the book and read a prayer. It was one in which
the redemption of mankind was powerfully described, and
which spoke of the assurance which a repentant spirit had
of salvation and happiness. The unfortunate penitent had
read it fie quently ; he hail referred to it in his moments of
greatest agony ; and it had green him comfort amidst all
the accumulated horrors with which he was surrounded.
The prayer was as follows:
" Oh God of merry, to whom are known the workings of all
hearts, grant me to raise my heart above the fear of death, which
must, through the mediation of thy Son, had me into thy everlast-
ing presence. For his sake had thou promised unto thy erring,
but repentant creatures, a remission of their sins. For his sake
hat then prminved to remove the frailty of human passion, when
it pleassh thee to call them before thee, anti to place them where.
in the divine light of thy countenamv, they may enjoy abundant
bliss ; where there shall be no hopes to be disappointed, no fears
to be stirred un no pa-lions to be exasperated, but where thy be-
nignity, as it hasi reflected upon cards, by the mission of thy Son
Jesus, will evermore exalt thy creatures :o bear a great and exceed-
ing weight of glory."
The effect of this prayer was visible in the countenance
of the unfortunate convict. lie clasped his hands toge-
ther and cried aloud, " Oh, Gad, hear that prayer! I
give thee thanks for the bright scent a which you have
placed before my soul. You have put a mail, stronger
than that of iron, round my heart—you have clothed me
in the impenetrable armour of thy holy spirit—and here I
stand, ready and anxious to behold thee !" His brother,
although affected even to sobs and tears, upon his entrance
into the prison, received comfort from this irresistible
proof of the firm hope of a happy immortality. lie ex-
pressed his feelings in terms of the most ardent affection.
" If," said he, " you leave the world, Henry, in such a
:ontlition of mind, you can have nothing to lament. In
the presence of God you will appear before we altall, whom
you leave behind. Your happiness shall commence, while
those around you who now grieve at your fate, will still
have to struggle onward to the grave, through all the sharp
varieties of affliction." " My only pain, my dear brother
and son," said Mr. Fauntleroy, " now is, that the stain
upon my memory will, I fear, extend itself to all who are
dear to me; that the sin I have committed, and committed,
God knows, not without remerse, that turned my days
and nights to bitterness, will lie visited in the natural in-
dignation of mankind upon those who bear el my affec-
tions ; that they will have to hear the scorn of men, and
to be branded with the offence of an unfortunate but peni-
tent criminal." His brother combated this apprehension,
I which hared has powerfully affected him during the whale
I period of his imprisonment.
"It is," said Mr. Fauntleroy. " a consolation to me to
know, that there arc men who form a candid estimate of
hrerhudiskskentl-ar-ls.:- tima4l,3•Pb4.....iiiprlatagesso Li
my crime was always stronger than my fears of the conse-
quences, great as they were.
From this subject they passed to that of the future con-
duct and prospects of the boy, who, tinting this eonversa-
tint), held his father's hands between Ks own, and intently
gazed upon his face. Fanntlerov addressed hint, in a most
solemn tone, in these words—" My beloved hope-my poor,
fatherless boy, in a few hours I shall be no more. You
must supper: your mother's heart. It is to your affection
she has to look for comfort. Oh, what 1 felt at the dread-
ful meeting with her ! lint we will pars over these things.
Be tender and obedient to her, Henry, for your father's
sake. I am, it is true, a great criminal; but that God,
before whom I am en the point of appearing, knows that I ,
meant to atone for my crime, but now that atonement is'
impossible, lam satisfied to leave the world, only lament-
ing that my departure will be no expiation." The boy's
face was bathed with tears while he answered his father's
dying request, by declaring, that he would ever honour and
obey these under whose protection he was left. Mr.
Fauntleroy's brother then, somewhat relieved fmm the
anguish with which he had been overwhelmed, took up
the prayer-bee:, aril accidentally turned to the prayer
which his nephew had a little while before read. He re-
peated the first words, and then was passing on to another
part of the boot;, hat Fauntleroy said to him, " Go on : it
cannot be read too often—it breathes comfort to my poor
soul." That prayer and many others were then read, and
at half-past twoo'ciock they knelt down, and continued in
the attitude and language of supplication until the Sheriiii
sent up notice that they must separate. The unfortunate
Fauntleroy rose shrviy, the tears gushing front hie eyes
over his broiler and his child, who still clung to his knees.
Fauntleroy embraced his brother, who was scarcely able to
support himself, and then h:s son, who seemed, upon this
awful occasion, to exhibit some evidence of his father's Fenn-
nest. Ilia son kissed both his hands and exclaimed,
"God take you to himself—God bless you." his brother
uttered not a word, but was led out of the altar matt by
the turnkey.
Five minutes after their departure, the unfortunate
Fauntleroy recovered his usual calmness, and expressed a
wish to Fee Mr. Springett, to whom he said, " I have, my
clear Sir, experiemeal the most extraordinary Liminess from
these goal pecple by whom lam surrounded. To the burns-
nityotMrs. llarris and her husband (one of the turnkeys),
I am under pertiettler oltheatiens, and I request that, in
the morn'ete seh n I aat going to die, you will take a ring
off my Imp: anti present it to the good woman." Mr.
Sprineett premised to do an. " J have row," said he,
e Sprineett, one relmet to male of you—l believe it is the
last, a:the:tell I cannot say, for I ant a poor complaining
creature." " Ask me any thing," said Mr. Springett, "it
