The murderer first stated that his

Piled accordingly, anu my astonlsiimeht
may be imagined on beholdiug the inden-
tical Monster so often portrayed by the
old black woman, comfortably seated
and quietly pickingh his teeth with a fence
rail! In a few minutes however, he as
sumed the perpendicular position, and in
a voice louder than ten thousand canons,
he exclaimed-"Make room for the pale
Horse! The congregated millions turn
ed to the right and left-an avenue was
opened, in which was exhibited a groom
conducting with extreme difficulty, a
horse of gigantic size and of restless and
infammatory spirit, towards the stand Of
the monster! He was unexceptionably
the most symmetrically formed and beau
tiful animal | had ever seen, with the ex-
ception ofhis eyes, which were as red as
scarlet; the rest of his body was as white
as the driven snow. But oh, there was
exhibited in his c~ountenance, a restless,
fiery and belligerent spirit, and it was
with the EXTREMIST difficulty he could be
brought to the Monsters stand. The
word WO however, being exclaimed by
the Monster, "the lion was converted
into the lamb" and the horse stood trem-
bling with fear. Clear the track and
make room for Death" exclaimed the
Monster, in 4 voice which seemed loud
enough TO have shaken the Planetary
System from its centre. Presently was
seen 4 skeleton of gigantic height, max
ing rapid strides down the avenue, and
with each motion was distinctly heard
the dismal gratings ofhis dry bones. On
approaching within ten strides of the
stand, he made a s'lI4en halt, and there
was silence in He'll Tor the space of half

crisis, the Monster exclaimed in a voice
still louder, if possible. $50 forth, con-

instantaneously darted amongst the con-
gregated millions surrounding. The

a morbid Imagination could conceive.
