AN INCARNATE FIEND.

We had believed that the foul deed Of murder re-
Gently pcrpetrated in Southampton, of which we have
published an account could have parallel and yet
we are already stunned with the recital of equally
revolving and demonacaI, perpetrated in Pnisylvana
county, the 23d ult, the particulars of which we
have from gentleman who was in Danvile when il
occurred and TO whom they related by the Co
roner.
James II Laner, man of respectable family con
nexons but of absolute life and unbridlcd passions,
had become the father Of two Children both boys from
an illicit connection with female ofthe name Of Eliza
Flecman; and refusing to maintain Them their mother

and he was ordered provide for their support This
SO exasperaed the wretch that he resolved the hell

to the house of the woman Fleeman. On entering
the room in which she sitting, with her mother
Betsy Flceman) and the two children, he fastened
the door and commenced his dabolical work with sa
wage ferocy striking the mother of his children sense
less at his feet with single blow Of the axe. The
eldest Of his little boys seeing this uttered SC cam
and clasping his inhuman parent round the knees
implored him, in the accents OF innocence not To

heart was stceled TO pity seized the little innocent by
the feet and dashed his brains out on the hearth Ilor

BRIEF DISCOURSE.


TEXT.-Ihere IS a ardy that seemeh right 10
man, bit The end Mereof' DC.
We hope il will not be deemed sacrilegious to
quote here this sublime precaution from the Ora
cles Of Divine Truth, as text TO discourse from,
in the manner which follows, although in aid of
subjects of somewhat secular nature, apperlain-
ing, however, to morality.
II may seem right to a man-to neglect paying
his debts for the sake Of lending or specializing
upon his money, but the end thereof is-a bad
paymaster.
II may seem right to man--to live beyond
his income, but The end thereof is-wretched-
ness and poverty.
II may seem right TO a man-to attempt tolive
upon the fashions of the times, but the end
thereof is--disgusting to all sensible folks, and
ruinous TO health, reputation, and property.
1t may seem right to a man-to attempt to OBJ
tain livelihood without industry and economy
but the end thereof is-hunger and rags.
ltmay seem right TO man--to keep con
stantly borrowing Of his neighbors, and never
willing to them but the end thereof is--very
cross neighbors
Ii may seem right to man-to be always
trumpetng his own fame, but the end thereof is
his fame don't extend very far.
ltmay seem right TO a man--to trouble him
self very much about his neighbours business,
but the end thereof is--great neglect OF his own.
III may seem Tignt 10 u Ue constantly
slanderng his neighbors, but the end thereofis-
nobody believes any thing he says.
II may seem right TO a man-to indulge his
children in every thing, but the end thereof is
his children will indulge themselves in dshonor-
ing him.
1t may seem right to man-to put of every
thing which ought to be done to-day, until to-
morrow, but the end thereof is-such things are
| not done at all.
II may seem right TO man--to attempt pleas
ing every body, but The end thereof is-he pleases
nobody.
Ii may seem right to man--to excel his neigh
bors in extravaganza and luxury, but the end
thereof is-he excels them in folly.
II may seem rightto man--to take no news
papers, but the end thereof is--that man and his
family are totally ignorant Of the ordinary occur
rences OF the day.
II may seem right 10 a man--to obtain his news
by borrowing and stealing OF his neighbors, but
the end thereof is-fraud upon the printer.
II may seem right to a man--to pay every bo-
DIV before he pays the PRINTER and the MINISTER,
but the end thereof is-he pays the most needy
last if he pays them atall.
Ii may seem right to man-to worship the
creature more than the Creator, but the end
thereof is--an idolater.
II may seem right to a man-to be necessarily
occupied in boarding up treasures of this world,
but the end thereof is-he has none in the world
10 come.
II may seem right TO us-to further extend tins
discourse, at the expense of the patience OF the
reader but the end thereof is--here.

II appears from the second annual report OF the
Registrar General of births, deaths, and mar

T o T HE DE AID.

BY J. c. @. BRAINARD.
How many now are dead TO me
Who live to Others yet
How many are alive 10 me
Who erumble in the dust, nor see
That sIckening, sinking look which we
Till dead can ne'er forget
Beyond the blue seas, far away,
Most wreichedly alone,
One died in prison-far away,
Where stone on stone shut out the day,
And never hope nor comfoit's
In his lone dungeon shone
Dead TO the world alive to me,
Though months and years have passed,
In lone hour his sight to me
Comes like the hum of some wild bee,
And then his form and face see,
As when ! saw him last
And one with bright lip, and cheek,
And eye, is dead to me.
How pale the bloom of his smooth cheek
Ills lip was coId-it would not speak
His heart was dead, for it did not break,
And his eye, for il did not see.
Then for the living be the tomb,
And for the dead the smile
Engrave Oblivion on the tomb
OF puscless life and deadly bloom
Dim is such glarc-but bright the gloom
Around the funeral pile.
