AFFECTING ANECDOTE.

On one Of the many bridges in Client, stand two
large brazen images Of father and son, who obtained
this distinguished mark of the admit alton of their
fellow citizens BY the following ncidents:-
Both the father and the son were, for some often
&C against lhs state. condemned TO die Some
favourable circumstances appearing on the side Of
the son, he was granted a remission OF his share OF
the sentence, under certain provisions: IL short he
was offered pardon, on the most crue and barba-
rous condition that ever entered into the mind Of
even monksh barbarity; namely, that he woulu
become HE eSecutioner of his father. He al hrst
resuiutely refused to preserve his lie by means 5,
fatal and detcstable.--'lhis is no; to be wondered
a, for hope, for the hanour Of our nature, tina,
there are but tew, very few sons who would not
have spurned, with adherence, lite sustained on
conditions so horrid and unuaural The son (hout +
long nhexib!e) was at length overcome by tbs
tears and enreaes OF lend father, who re presented
TO him that at all events, his the fathets) life was
forfeited, end that it would be the greatest possible
consolation TO him, in his last momerts to think,
that in his death, he was the instrument OF his son
preservation.
The youth consented TO adopt the horrible means
of recovering his life and liberty he lifted the axe
but, as i was about TO TALL his sunk ner,eess.
and the axe dropped from his hand Had he as
many lives hairs, he could have yielded them all,
one after the other, rather than again 10 con
ceive, much less perpetrate, such an act. Life,
liberty, every thing vanished before the dearer
interests Of hal affection He fell upon his father
neck, and embracing him. triumphantly exclaimed,
"My father my father we will die together =
and then called lor another execuIioner TO fulfil the
sentence OF the Law.
Hard must their hearts indeed be, bereFt ofevery
sentiment oil virtue, every sensation of humanity,
who could stand insensible spectators of such a
scene A sudden peal Of involuntary applauses,
mixed with glosns and signs, rent the air. The
execution was suspended; and, on simple represen.
talon Of the transaction, both were pardoned high
re ards and honours were conferred on ibe son;
and finally those two admirable brszen images we're
Ned to commemorate a transaction so honorable
% human nature, and TO transmit il Tor the insruc
ton and emulation ofposterty. The statute repre-
sens the son in the very act Of letting fall the axe
