SINGULAR FACT

The Georgia Messenger, in noticing the II.
cent murder of Mr.. Early in Texas, by i.aac
B. Desha, says, it is supposed that Early va
the son Of Governor Early, Of Georgia the same
who about two years since murdered an ndi-
vidual in that stale He made his escape, and
the fact OF his murder is the FIRST thai has
since been heard Of him. 1t is singular thai,
both Desha and Early should have been III.
sons Of men filing the highest Office in their
respective States-that both should have slu.
ded Justice and that, meeting afterwards in 1
distant and comparatively unsettled oounry,
one should fall by the hand OF the otter lis
a literal ful6lment Of that passage OF .he Bible
which declares, that "whoso shedde'h mans
blood, by man shall bis blood be she'd" Their:
is something, too, like re,ribu,ion in one muir

chalice' to the lips Of one who had himself
administered il to his frllow-being.

REMARKS LORD BYRON'S CAIN.

"The-e are those who fad in Cain ony lis.
sue ofimpiely. The editor sees in il 4 sublime
moral lesson, founded on the truths translated
TO US in scripture. Let us examine il calmly, &
approach il with that freedom from prejudice,
which is, in fact, the beg ginning Of wisdom.-
The desire of knowledge i. excellent in itself,
so long as it is confined 10 those principles and
things which are placed advisrdly within our
limits. When il would cope with Immortality;
when il would raise the veil that separates e.
tern,,y from life; when it would penetrate the
mysteries Of that grea, Intelligence, who, for
wise reasons, has shrouded himself in dark
ness, and to whom the sun is even as shad-
ow,' then does the mind of man recoil upon it.
self, & find in its own bitterness source OF dis
content, dissatisfaction and modification.
.rhe moral which Cain eoveys is, the neces-
sty Of bounding our pretensions 10 the scope
of our finite faculties. Ii tells US to adore the
great Creator in His works; to rest satisfied
with the subordinate part allotted to US in His
system; 10 be assured that every thing He has
ordered, is for the best; and to repose ourselves
with humble confidence in His goodness and
His power. II teaches Us to adore what we
DO understand; to reverence what we do NOT,
and 10 put that entire faith in the Author OF
the Universe, which is necessary 10 reconcile
our FINITE views with the great objects Of uni
versal benevolence and knowledge.
"The character Of Cain is perfectly in nature.
1t presents the picture of an illregulated and
daringy-inquiring mind (for all inquiries that
lead US TO doubt the wisdom and goodness oil
The Deity are ill-re sula,ed and unhallowed,) &
shows the consequences that must eventually
spring from dwelling perpetually, with dis
ea.ed and morbid contemplation, on the ills of
life, without ever seeking solace in its enjoy
meDts.
