THE EYE.
What is the little lurking spell
That hovers round the eye
Without voice, a word can tell
The feelings as they fly.
When tearless--it can speak ofwo;
When weeping-still the same
Or in moment catch the glow
Ofthoughts without name.
Can beam with pity on the poor
With anger on the proud;
Can tell that it will much endureA
Or flash upon the crowd! .FF
Now brightly raised, or now depressed
With every shade offeellng-
1t is the mirror ofthe breast
The thought, the soul revealing!
Oh! tones are false-and words are weak
The tutored slaves at call
The eye-the eye alone can speak
Unfettered-tel us all!

FASHION,.

Fashion erects its shrine and calls its
blind and deluded votaries, and they bow
down with an homage as base and idola-
trous as if they worshipped an image
Opinions reigns over the crowds, that
throng the places Of fashionable recrea-
ton and many there are, who are more
anxious to please their fellow-beings, than
to please their Maker: who would shrink
more from violating the etiquette of the
world, than the command ofthe Almighty.
The curse and blight Of the temptation
never descends more uwfully or more ia
tally, than when it thus comes amidst
the forms of civilty and fashion, and the
sounds of music and pleasure. A being
on whom the law OF fashion has done its
work, who lives only in the opinion Of 9th
ers and in an outward show--such 4 be.
ing, whether man or woman, is as utterly
though not as visbly, degraded from the
rank of humanity as the sensualist :or the
profligate and il sensuality and profiga-
cy do not set their mark upon such an
one, it will only be because they are not
the fashion !-Christian Examiner.

Sentence of John Francis Knapp.-This
wretched young man received his SEN
tence at Salem on Saturday. AT 9 A.
M. he was placed at the Bar. The crowd
was as great as at any former time of the
trial. He remained throughout the sol
emn ceremony as unconcerned and inn
movable as ever. When asked by Judge
Putnam, if he had aug ght to say, why SEN
tence of death should not now be pro-
nounced upon him, he replied with great
energy and frmpess !:
Ihave onlyto say, that | am innocent
OF the charge-and l now declare to the
world, that / shall die innocent of the
crime, for which am to suffer-"
Judge Putnam then proceeded to pro-
nounce the dreadful sentence of the Law,
in the following manner and terms
JOHN francis KNAPP,
You have been indicted for the CRIME
of Murder-and upon your arraignment
have pleaded that you were not guilty
and put yourselfupon God and your coun-
try for trial. Able and learned counsel
have been at your request assigned by
the Court to ossist you in your defence
Your case has been committed to very
intelligent and impartial jury, selected by
yourself, who have for six days patiently
and attentively listenedto the evidence
and the arguments. All that learning
and industry, fidelity and talents, could
suggest, has been urged in vain in your
defence. The truth has prevailed-and
the jury of your country have established
your rguilt-the Court is satisfied with
their verdict, and you come now to re-
ceive the sentence of the Law.
Before we proceed to that last and pain
ful duty, we are desirous of doing you all
the good in our poverty awakening your
mind to consideration ofthe awful doom
which awaits you. Would to God that
any thing we could say would have the ef-
feet of softening your heart, and OF lead
ing you to sincere contrition and repent
aDce.
The horrible murder of which you have
been convicted, stands in bold relief and
deformity in the history ofcrime.
The victim of your fcrocity, in few
years, according to the course Of nature,
would have sunk into his grave in peace,
but for the thirst for gain which corroded
the hearts Of those who conspired against
his life. He was living in the midst Of as
peaceful community as exists upon the
earth, surrounded by his relations and
friends upon whom he had lavished his
bounty. In the stiffness Of the night
while he rested his aged limbs upon the
bed-while he was in the arms of sleep
in his own house-in the centre ofthis pop
ulous town-the Assassin Of your procure
ment committed the Deed of Death, while
you, in the judgment Of the Law, were
present and aiding him in the act.
The circumstance attending the con-
spiracy, exhibit cool, deliberate design
to take the life fthe victim, merely Tor
the sake Of gain. There was no other
passion to be grati6ed.
The conspirators were all young
They were connected with respectable
