MURDER 'MIRACULOUS ORGAN. -
s.Murder." says Shakespeare, ..thoush it
hath no tongue, vet speaks with most mi.
raculous organ Among the numerous
accounts of homicides which have made
so prominent feature in the newspapers
of the Union, in the last twelve months,
we can call 10 mind scarcely one, which
it was intended by the perpe,rator to con.
ceal, tina, has not. by means oftentimes
the most trivial, been laid open to the
eyes of the world A most striking in
stance was that of the murder in New
Jersey. After the deed was done, and no
human eve had seen il; when the body of
the victim wassburied beneath the floor,
and even an explanation of its anticipated
decay prepared for, the perturbed spirit
of the murderer beheld in every man an
accuser, and the damning dye .wnuld
not OUT So he must needs purchase
two rabbits, and 90 round with them in
his hand to his acquain,ances, complain
ing that they had bled upon his person.
and floor, and Offering them for sale; and
in the ''back aud dark night he dared
MOI 60 near ms own dWelting alone, nut
offered ar,izans exlravagant terms to sit
up with him all night, for he could not
sleep" Conscience was in this case the
"miraculous organ" that ultimately pluck
ed out the heart of his awful mystery.
So, too, of a recent murder in Virginia.
1t occurred on Friday night; all day on
Saturday the body remained; and the
wretched prisoner says he endured all the
agonies of hell during the day. He drank
deep, to keep down the feelings that agi-
ta,ed his bosom. He dared not flee. for
fear of The pursuer; he was afraid to look
his fellow men in the face, lest his guilt
should stand burned in characters of fire
upun his forehead. At night he essayed
to remove the body, but the ae,rehension
that he was watched, prevented him: NOV
ing a few things out of his house, he set
i, on fire, thinking thus to destroy all evi.
dence of the murder. But after the last
rafter had fallen in, and the diving embers
had begun to grow pale, there, in The
midst of the. fire, lay unburned the head
less trunk of his victim! He next be-
