One manly feeling would not yet depart
We have SO frequently noticed cases OF
individuals convicted of serious crimes,
who nevertheless were not at all guilty, bat
possessed redeeming qualties-that we
have often felt regret at the harsh judgment
Of the world, and at the little effort which
is made to win back the misguided, the
fallen, and the lost ]! How many might be
saved by the exercise of Kindness, sympa-
thy, and encouragement, who, neglected,
and denounced, soon abandon all hope, be-
lieve themselves cut off from all society
and the virtuous portion of mankind, and
plunge deeper and deeper into the ways of
crime How many of the poor wretches
who are dragged before our criminal courts
charged with petty offences, misdemeanors,
thefts, and other errors Of poverty, despair
and intemperance; are the unfortunate chill
Of neglect, want and bad exanple-have
never been taught the brightness and the
beauty of better course, have never en-
ioyed the benefits of moral counsel and
friendly advice--but have been outcast, and
abandoned since early childhood . How
few, too, of our philanthropists think il
worth while to pay attention to these err
ing children Of humanity, to employ coun-
sci, or in any way to investigate the facts
of their respective cases. They are DOOM
ed from The first Conviction and sentence
speedily follow their arrest,'no voice is
heard to plead in their behalf, no eye mois-
tens as judgment is pronounced, and nc
heart softens as they are borne away in Gus:
tody of the officers of the law.
/ Let us not be misunderstood. Crime
should be punished fully and adequately
In this course is the only safety Of society
But we cherish the belief that there are few
at least among the youthful offenders, W he
are utterly hardened who have not wthr
the bosom some germ Of virtue, who would
not, if hope were held OUT 10 them, gladly
embrace it, and cheerfully turn from the
error Of their ways. But if one in tweny,
could only thus be saved What a conso-
Iation and what blessing would such a
result be 10 the benevolent and the Christ
tian.
