FROM THE HUMANE HEART.
A MURDERER'S DEATH BED.
CONCLUDED.

Susan up, and, forgetting for while her
former timidity, exclaimed, "There is one whose
blood cleanseth from all SIM Who is the God in
whom the worst sinner may hope, but our God =
We cannot cry unto him in vain % Tell me- said
the man, wildly-he stopped and leaned his head
out from the bed, he looked round on every SIDE
seeming to fear the presence of any other person.
Come nearer, lady, if may ask you. Do not go
away my heart is lighter, while speak to you,
and see your gentle looks l never meant to speak
of what am now going to confess to you you will
hear, and you Will then tell me if may hope l
am known to God just as | am why should be
so fearful to let you know my heart : This now
feel that man, and all the shame which | might
have to meet among men, is nothing to the thought
of God, as now think of him at last Blessed be
God feel this The poor wretch drew down
both his hands on each side, and clenched them in
the bedclothes, and stretching forth his head said
in whisper, There is young girl, knew her
once as meek and as innocent as you are-I made
her as vile, as wicked as myseh-we were never
marred-she provoke me and with these horrid
hands, he said, hiding them still more under the
clothes, as he looked down, l cut her throat SUI
san could hardly drag one foot after the other,
she moved towards the door she clasped the latch
quickly, and chung to it for support with both her
trembling hands. She leaned against the wall and
about to yield to her womanly fears, and rush
from the room, when she heard long heart-broken
groan. She turned one look on the murderer
There zcas now some slight expression in his coun-
tenance, as he sat in the mctonless position,
the large heavy tears dropping from his vacant eyes
The heart seemed to have wrung up some gifts con-
vulsed agones into the face, he casped his hands
together, and cried out, 'Thy will be done 1t is

veny hope = Susan let go the latch of the door,
She forgot all her weakness, and walked steadily
to the bed she stood still, and smiled upon the
heart broken wretch, at least he thought (for he
had for the moment forgotten her, that angel
stood before him, and smiled upon him.) She stood
there without moving, her white garments shining
out from the shadowy gloom, her fair hair flowing
to her shoulders and her eyes beamng with the ten
derest pity. She knelt down there, and raising her
pure hands towards heaven prayed aloud as for the
life of her own soul. o blessed Lord, the Father
OF Mercies, and the God of all comfort, she re-
membered parts of that beautiful prayer, but Ian
guage now flowed freely from her heart,-sthy
wrath lleth heavy upon him and his soul is full of
trouble: teach him by the Holy Spirit to have
right understanding of himself, and of thy threats
and promises that he may neither give up his
ly comfort his confidence in Thee his hope in Thee,
nor seek it any where but in Thee. Thou knowest
the secrets of hearts, she continued shut not
thy merciful ears to prayers, holy and most
merciful Saviour! Look upon the heart broken,
though guilty man. By thine agony and bloody
sweat; by thy cross and passion by thy precious
death and burial by thy glorious resurrection and
ascension; and by the Holy Spirit, whom Thou
didst leave among thy sinful servants; spare us
from thy wrath, from everlasting damnation Break
not the bruised reed. Quench not the smoking flax.
Shut not up thy tender mercies in displeasure-
Thou canst abundantly pardon, for thy thoughts
are not our thoughts, are thy ways as our
ways" The repentant murderer fell back upon
his pillow, and the very Aoodgates of his grief were
burst open; the voice of his companion was not
heard. its sound was lost in his loud sobbing SUI
san wept too, but prayed silently in her weeping.
When the man had become in some manner COM
posed, Susan said to him, 81 will never mention to
any person what you have now confessed to me-
Say nothing more to me, but go down into the
very depths of your heart and tell out every least
crime to your God, for he is your heavenly Father,
if nothing there known to him but from
your confession the you accuse yourself nov
before God, the less will be brought against you
on the last and most awful day of Gods Judgment
Oh, let your confessions be offered only through
HIS merits, who died upon the cross for YOU. mo

This l have done, this will never cease to do
he replied. Il have gone over in my thought |
have looked back 70 the beginning of crimes, which
enough to freeze even ny blood to think upon.
I haue prayed in that holy name-Wait, wait a lit
tie longer. took you for an angel just now, and
you still like one to me. have strength to tell
you how my heart of stone was first touched. l

been imprisoned not for that murder, he continued,
but for another crime. was let out from Horse
monger Lane prison, and slept that night at an
| alehouse WhenI went out the next morning,
observed crowds ofpersons thronging towards New
gate went along with them, eagerly, and push
ing my way up to the scaffold, for six men were to
be hung that morning. One by one they came out
upon the scaffold. l looked at every face, and
knew them all. The first man was obliged to be
supported, as he walked on, and notwithstanding
his deadly paleness, and his sunken cheeks, which
showed that he had felt and felt most btterly--he
now seemed quite Supplied; his whole body shook
violently, and they obliged to hold him up,
and do every thing for him, as he stood like sense
less creature. The clergyman came up to him, and
spoke in the kndest manner; but the poor creature
only stared at him, and then seemed again to forget
every thing, and to sink back into sort of waking
dream. That man my first companion in guilt
& was horror-struck all over but l think was
more affected by the sight of another man whom
had also known he an infamous wretch but
he came running up the steps till they shook be-
meath his feet. He stood on the scaffod at his full
height, and looked round boldly, and spoke to the
mob boldly and loudly. Oh, God it was all forced
l could see his lip and his temples moving, and his
hand twitching all the time-The last who came
out young lad, beautiful lad of seventeen or
eighteen, one whom had known dear innocent
child one who had sat upon my knee, and chung
with his little arms around my neck, and gone to
sleep on my bosom. can't speak of that boy with
out weeping said the man, and his voice was chok
ed with sobs he was born in this part of the coun
first taught him STEAL and there he stood at last
looking so young, SO very young to die. His heart
was touched, and he prayed aloud with the good
clergyman. He came forward and spoke a few
words to the mob; he seemed to look at me, and
pulled down my hat over my eyes. turned and
