CONSCIENCE

The mind that broods DER guilty loves,
Islike the scorpion, girt by fire;
in circle narrowing asst glows,
The flames around their captive close,
Till inly parch'd by thousand throes,
And maddening in her ire,
One sad and sole relief she knows,
The sting she nourish'd for her foes,
Whose venom never yet was vain,
Gives but one pang, and cures all pain,
And darts into her desperate brain 4!
So do the dark in soul expire,
Alike TO scorpion girt by fire,
So wri,hes the mind, remorse hath riven,
Unfit for earth, undoom'd TO heaven
Darkness above, despair beneath,-
Around it flame, within tits death.

A CASE FOR THE SoorH SAVERS.

The circumstance described in the
communication which follows, was no.
ticed by writer in this paper, some
days ago; but so imperiectly, that one
acquainted with the particulars, was in
duced 10 write the annexed account. A
visit to that part of the country, enables
us to confirm the statement upon the tes-
timony of unexceptionable witnesses.
There is one inaccuracy however. In
their first descent to the earth, the ne
gro did make an attempt to capture the
Eagles. Failing in this, they rose and
renewed the fight in the air, when des-
cending second time, in the ardor of
battle, he approached and threw himself
upon them, without alarm on their parts
and conceiving them to be wild geese,
wrung their heads off. What adds to
the singularity of the incident, is that
from the clearing up of the country, the
Eagle has been for many years rare
bird in that part Of Virginia. In Rome,
the omen would have been averted by
additions and sacrifices to the Gods, and
have figured in Livy and Plutarch.

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.
GooCHLAND, March 23d, j

ruStling of whose wings, occasioned the
noise which had so much alarmed hon
est Pompey. They began gradually to
descend, until they actually fell to the
ground within few steps Of him, when
he had leisure TO observe that their ia
Ions were interlocked so closely, as to
render their separation almost impossi-
bic. From the great desperation with
which'they fought, and the little regard
which they paid TO his presence, he con-
eluded it not so safe to disturb them, and
accordingly permitted them to rise again
TO short distance, and, lin the words OF
the famous humorist,) continue the
SIGHT in peaceP They soon fell again,
however, and he discovered that they
had shifted their hold, and that the ia
lon Of one was fixed in the thigh of the
other, and pice versa, the other talons

THE COURSE OF CRIME.

A few days since voltigeur of the 9th
legion, being on guard, obtained leave from
his commanding officer TO go home, and
take little rest about the middle of the
night. On his arrival, anxious not TO dis
turb his wife, he took off his uniform in
the dark, and slipped quietly into bed, when
he was terrified at finding himself in the icy
contact of corpse. He alarmed the neigh
borhood and on lights being brought, it
was ascertained that the body was that of a
young medical student, who was in the hab-
it of paying frequent visits TO his wife. The
latter wasno where 10 be seen. II appears
that the young man had fallen a victim 10
fit Of appopleXy and the guilty wife, find
ing il impossible to conceal her fault, had
rushed out ofthe house, g. in despair, thrown
herselfinto the Seine. Her body was found
the next morning, and recognized ct the

You seem 10 think it devolved on the judges
to decide on the validity of the Sedition Law.
But nothing in the Constitution has given
them right to decide for the executive,
more than TO the executive 10 decide for them.
Both magistrates are equally independent in
the sphere Of action assigned TO them. The
Judges believing the law constitutional, had
a right TO pass sentence Of fine and impris-
onnont because the power was placed 10
their hands by the constitution. But the ex-
ecutive, believing tho law to be nnconstitu-
t,onai, were hound TO remit the execution si
il; because that power has been confded tc
them BY the constitution. That instrumen,
meant that ito coordinate branches should be
checks on each other. But the opinion which
gives to the judges the right to decide wha,
Laws are constitutional and what not, no,
only for themselves, in their own sphere oi

also in their spheres. would make the Judlc.
