sketches of the island of Jamaica, alludes
TO an estate called Edinburgh Castle, and
says that some years back it was the scene
of many atrocious murders. II was occu-
pied by man of the name Of Hutchinson,
whose delight was to decoy travellers into
his den, to entertain them with seeming
hospitality, and then, during the hours
dedicated to repose, murder his unsuspec-
ting victims, whose bodies he consigned
to deep and dark pit adjoining his house.
The man is represented to have been

to have been melted to the preparation Of

Happily, this murderous transaction was
witnessed by a servant of Calender, who,
unknown to Hutchinson, had remained
outside the house. He Immediately
spread the alarm; dligen, search was

Charity is a Christian grace and virtue.
We need its exercise, and should be

mistaken. Ii may be that no such thing
as is alleged against him has ever been
done, and innocence may be where guilt
is imputed.
1t is godlike to awaken JOY and relieve
distress-here there can be no mistake.
Opportunities are frequent whereby we
may assis, and benefit fellow being. TO
produce smiles and gladness, instead OF
weeping and sorrow, is certainly a Christ
ian act. How greatly do we err, when
lndulglng an acrimonious aud bitter tenn

injured and offended us. 1t may be. and
probably is true. that they are mistak en-
in relation to the supposed injury. We
ought not, as we often do, seek to dev0ur
one another. If we would reflect credit
upon ourselves, and confer honor upon
humanity, we must be charitable and for

great measure. from the dreadful evil ana
curse of lnIemperance, and enjoying as
we now do, exemption from one of the
most injurious practises that ever obtained
among men, it seems To be our duty more
than ever to aim al high standard OF
moral eycellenc. Not only should we
speak no evil to one another, but we
should endeavor to do good TO all. The
means of usefulness we are furnished
with, the objects upon which they may
be brought to bear, and upon which good

us. Let us, therefore, study to render

small town in Maryland, not long since,

followed a deep groan. The crowd in

were procured, and down went two hui

covered with mud, bringing the intelli-
