comrade. Jacques acknowledged the fact, bu
demanded loftily whether il became son ofthe
republic to desert his wife!' The circle gathered
round, and Jacques by degrees made them com.
prehend that Madame his vife, having heard o
hls being ordered on service, and not altogether
approving OF his spirit of adventure, had come
from Paris with female friend 10 ascertain the
nature of the campaign. All this was understood
scion; his comrades laughed jokes were cut by
the unmarried at the shackled condition of the
|benedcks; the married. if they did not hang down
their heads, at least acknowledged that too yigi-
liant wives were by no means uncommon affairs;
and as the finish, it being reported that the rebel
Contessc had swallowed opium, taken prussic
acid, or drowned herself; or, at all events, not
being discoverable, the party, with the corporal
at their head, and followed by Jacques, his wife,
and her female friend, mounted the Garland made
their way 10 Paris.
The embarrassment of two or three was now
considerable. But jacques offered 10 set the
matter right with the happiest facility. He had
but one room, lis true, and the debate ended by
his giving up the apartment to the lady and her
attendant, and finding retreat somewhere else.
But those were not times when men might sleep
where they pleased; and Robespierre's vigilance
was the last thing which one Of the free would
be safe in craving. A hint from friend in the
police informed Jacques that his sleeping out of
his own chamber the night before, was known,
and that repetition Of the offence would be re-
garded as suspicious; for, why should men sleep
from home except for the purpose ofconspiracy?
council of war was held accordingly in the
attic. That Jacques must resume his chamber
was clear, but where the Coauesse was to look
for another was the very reverse of clear To
stir out OF Paris was impossible; to remain in the
attic was impossible; and to 90 any where else
was impossible. Tossed on the horns of three
mpossbities at once, the genius Of Napoleon
himself might be perpexed. But when was wo-,
man ever puzzled on domestic questions? The
feanne-de-chaanbre cut the Gordian knot as if it
were silken thread; placing two very slight fin
gers on the curl that prettily dropped down her
forehead.
'Voici,' said she, "mi I.adi is widow; olsen
gagged therefore; not SO rich as she was but still
rich; and if she is denounced to the government
she will he hurried to the Conciergerie, and from
that, n1a foi, to the guillotne without mercy.
'Uorreu'
The word echoed by the Contesse and
Jacques. 'Mais, quoi fare?' was the question
of both atonce. The fcmme-ac-chanbrep proposed
marriage, and as there was no time to spare, the
Contesse saved her head by taking the husband
and became like him Republican.

We cannot, in justice to our own feeling, close
this hasty sketch of an excursion so interesting
and satisfactory to all concerned, without an ex-
preston of gratitude for the kindness and hospi-
taity exhibited to the company by Walter irwin,
jr. Esq. and his excellent lady. A plenteous re-
past was furnished at their hospitabe table, and a
free permission was given toa scientific cohort, to
trample down cotton, or to dig il up for the ad-
vancement of the science. Hands and imple-
ments were also furnished by the same gentleman
and others.
There were also generous invitations extended
to the returning sarans, by w. p. Mellon, Esq,
and others; which crowned a day of pleasing toll,
with the civilizations of friendship.

STATE PRISON ANECDOTES.

The following are interesting anecdotes of the
management and influence over his prisoners,
by Capt. Pillsbury, the excellent warden of the
State Prison, at WethersGcld, Connecticut.
His moral power over the guilty is so remarka-
be, that prisoll-brcakers who can be confined no
where else, are sent to him to be charmed into
staying their time out.
One was gigantic parsonage, the terror of
the country, who had plunged deeper and deeper
into crime for seventeen years. Capt. PfllsbGry
told him when he came, that he hoped he would
not repeat the attempts to escape which he had
made elsewhere. 1T will be best said he, 'that
you and should treat each other well as we
can. will make YOU as comfortable as poss-
bly, can, and shall be anxious to be your friend;
and hope you will not get me into difficulty on
your account. There is cell intended for solitary
confinement but we have never used it, and
should be very sorry to have to turn the key
upon any body in it. You may rarge the place
as freely as ! do; if you trust me, shall trust
Eyou.' The man was sulky, and for weeks show
ed only very gradual symptoms OF sotenlng I'M
der the operation Of Captain Pillsbury's cheerful
confidence. At length information was given to
the Captain of this mans intention to break prison.
The Captain called him and taxed him with II;
the man preserved gloomy silence. He was
told that il was now necessary for him to he lock
ed in the solitary cell, and desired TO follow the
Captain, who went first, carrying lamp III one
hand and key in the other. In the narrowest
part of the passage, the Captain (who is small
/ |ipht man) turned round and looked in the face o.
the stout criminal. Now, said he, i ask wne-
ther you have treated me as | deserve! h.nav nav

A NER X N Ell ND.

For the purpose Of exhibiting the true cha
racter Of the offence, against good morals and the
feelings of a christian community, for which Alb
ner Kneeland was tried and convicted, as well as
a more detailed argument against the petition for
his pardon, we insert the following article from
correspondent We regret that It is necessary,
for the purpose Of presenting the subject in its
true light, to repeat language SO offensive and SO
we doubt not to the feelings Of every
one of our readers. But as a portion of the
friends Of religion have joined in the cry of per-
secution and intolerance in the case it is neces-
sary that it should be known what the community
are called upon to tolerate. We are aware that
Mr.. Kneeland has asserted that these offensive
publications, with the exception of that which
declares his disbelief in God, in Christ and in a
future state, were inserted III his paper in his alb
sence, and without his knowledge. We are also
aware that there is ample testimony to prove that
this allegation is untrue, and that all the offensive
articles were not only published in Knecland's
paper, but that they were delivered by his own
hand to the compositor.
We understand that the counter petition was
handed in to the Governor and Council yestcr-
day, bearing great number of respectable sig
natures.

filled his whole term of imprisonment, coniding
to his friend, as they arose, all impulses to vio-
late his trust, and all the facilities for doing so
which he imagined he saw.
The other case was of criminal OF the same
character, who went so far as to make the actual
attempt. He fell and hurt his ancle very much.
The Captain had brought him and laid him on
his bed, and had the ancle attended to, every one
beng forbidden to speak word OF reproach 70
the sufferer. The man was sullen, and would
not say whether the bandaging of his ancle gave
hlm pain or not. This was in the night, and every
one returned to bed when this was done. But
the Captain could not sleep. He was distressed
at the attempt, and thought he could not do his
duty to any man who would make il. He was
afraid the man was in great pain. He rose,
threw on his gown, and went with lamp to his
cell. The prisoners face was turned to the wall,
and his eyes were closed, but the traces of suffer
ing were not to be mistaken. The Captain loosed
and replaced the bandages, and went for his own
pillow to rest the limb upon, the man neither
speaking nor moving all the time. Just as he
was shutting the door, the prisoner started up and
called him back.
Stop, sir. Was it all 10 see about my ancle
that you have got up?'
Yes, it was. could not sleep for thinking Of
you'll
.And yet you never said word Of the way !
have used you.'
i do feel hurt with you, but don't want to
call you unkind while you are suffering as you
are now"
The man was in an agony Of shame and grief
All he asked was to be trusted again when he
should have recovered. He was freely trusted,
and gave his generous friend no anxiety on his
behalf.
Capt. Pillsbury is the gentleman who, on be-
ing told that desperate prisoner had sworn to
murder him speedily, sent for him to shave him,
allowing no one to be present. He eyed the
man, pointed to the razor, and desired him TO
shave him. The prisoners hand trembled, but
he went through it very WELL Whst he had
done, the Captain said, 4 have been told thaty
meant to murder me, but thought might trust
YOU God bless you, sir! You may replied
the regenerated man. Such is the power Of faith
in man.

Three reasons against signing The Petition for
.f6ner Kneeland's Pardon.


l.. Because the petition states that Abner Knee
land was indicted for libel in these word-Uni-
versalists believe in God which do not, but
believe that their God with all his moral attri-
bues, (aside from nature itself) is nothing more
than a chmera of their own inauguration '-as
if this were the whole. Whereas, the libel re-
ally contained also these words, achich are omit
ted in The pefifion-"I cannot pass over the
subject Of prayer without advertng to the curious
and strange predicament that God is placed in, by
listening to the unceasing and endless variety,
and what is worse, contradictory petitions, that
are every moment ascending up and down to him.
think the old Gentleman is more subject of pity
than General Jackson during his late visit.
His bowng and shaking was very arduous, but il
was all one way, congratuatory and pleasing
but only think of God having no respite day or
night" And in another place at therefore ap-
pears TO me that God must have an ear very diff
lcrent from any thing | can conceive Of, to hear
SO many contradictory prayers all at once; and ]
am equally at a loss to conceive how he can re-
collect them all, and at what time they are apt to
beemswered. Perhaps he keeps set of books
and clerks 10 enter all the prayers in. But an.
other difficulty presents ITSELF how could he in
form all these clerks at one time what to enter!
Besides, when could he find time 10 examine
these books so as to answer all the petitions al
the proper time?''
And in another place--"Universaist believe
in Jesus Christ, which do not, but believe that
the whole story concerning him is as much fiction
as that of the God Prometheus, the tragedy OF
whose death is said to have been acted on the
stage at the theatre at Athens, 500 years before
the Christian era" And in another place

not, but believe that every pretension to them
can either be accounted for on natural principles,
or is to be attributed to trick and imposture."

Route from NesO Pork TO Charleston, s. c.
This subject is now one Of general inquiry, as
travellers determined 10 60 south by land or
by an inland route, if it can be done speedily and
safely. We have frequently adveried to the reute
by steamboat nearly the whole distance from N.
Y York to Norfolk via Baltimore, and from Norfolk
to the Roanoke by railroad, and thence to Viii
mington, N. G., whence, in ls hours by steam
boat you reach Charleston. By referringro IRE
advertisement, it will be perceived that there is
another route entirely inland by railroad neasly
the whole distance, and more direct viz: through
Baltimore, Washington, Fredericksburg, Rich
mond and Petersburg, to the Roanoke and Will
mington as before You leave New fofk Sas.

Washington, thence after sleeping comfortably ON

and thence by steamboat again TO Charleston.
making three and half days without loss of FEST.
Whether this route or the one by Norfolk is ia
ken, the cities on both are equally interested IN
completing as speedily as possible the two main
tracks Of railroads.&c. one already nearly finished
from Wilmington to Raleigh, the other which Is
to run direct from Raleigh to Charleston city.
1t is matter Of not material moment, perhaps
which of the two is taken, but there is route
which must soon be completed from the Foam
oke direct TO Charleston By railroad, and that by
the shortest cut. The whole country south from
the Roanoke river is dead, fiat, hard bottom,
purpose1y made for rail tracks as we should con
slider it. In the present old road, for example,
from Norfolk, through Georgetown, S. G. to-
Charleston, there is one part of it hard perfectly
level platform for 60 miles, and shaded the whole
distance, if we remember, by fine heavy timber
There is also similar beautiful course between
Cheraw and Fayetteville. We merely throw ou.
these suggestions. All we say in conclusion Is,
the work must be done, and the States interested
including all between Charleston city and Maine,
have the enterprise and the funds to do it effect
