THE PIRATE AND THE DovB.-The fol.
lowing anecdote is related by Audubon,
the celebrated traveller and ornitholosist :
A man, who was once a pirate, as
Sured me that several times, whilst at
certain wells dug in the burning shelly
sands Of we'll known key, which must
be here nameleSs, the soft and melan-
chOly notes of the doves awoke in his
breast feelings which had long slumbered,
melted his heart to repentance, and caused
him to linger at the spot in a state OF
mind which he only who compares that
wretchedness Of guilt within him with
the holiness Of former innoceece, can
truly feel. He said he never left the
place without increased fears of futurity,
associated as he was, although believe
by force, with a band of the most des.
perate villains that ever ANNOYED the
Florida coast. So deeply moved was be
by the notes of any bird, and especially
those of dove, the only soothing sounds
he ever heard during his life of horrors,
that through these plaintiff notes, and
them alone, he was induced to escape
from his vessel, abandon his turbulent
companions, and return to family de.
ploring his absence. After paying a
hasty visit to those wells, and listening
once more to the cooings of the Zenaida
dove, ne poured out his soul in supplica.
ton for mercy, and once more became,
what one has said to be noblest work of
God-an honest man. His escape was
effected amid difficulties and dangers, but
no danger seemed to him comparable
with the danger of living in violation OF
human and divine laws; and be now

PHOTOGRAPHIC CRIMINALS The gov
ernor of Bristol Jail (England) writes as
follows to the papers:
&" Each prison should have its gallery
of criminal portraits nay, / have al
ready such means of reference in my own
establishment. l keep large book with
an alphabetical index, in which | paste
an engraving, if | may use the term. of
every portrait taken by me; beside this
preserve, in case fitted with grooves,
and numbers to correspond with INV
book, the negative plates from which
those engravings are made. If the gov
ernor of another Jail writes to me con-
cerning any prisoner whom i cannot rec
ognize by name, apply to him for de-
scription, and if it accords with either of
my portraits, take An impression from
my negative plate, and forward it to him,
thus enabling him to see whether the
suspected party has or has not been in
custody. | am also equally sure you are
right in your belief that That the fail
ure of all his hopes, to escape detection
and recognition, may induce many a
criminal to begin the new year with the
conviction that il would be less trouble
some and more profitable to become an
honest man. in confirmation of your
views. may state that only short time
since q notorious offender said to me,
while conveying him to Wakefield, L
never would have been found in your Jail
if / had known that you took the por-
traits of prisoners.
GA puritanical visage and a sane.
timonious air are frequently the mere dis.
guises of a depraved heart. True chris.
tianity teaches cheerfulness, and peace,
and good will to all men, and those who
observe its rules will find them the only
guide to true happiness here, and eter-
nal bliss hereafter. But there are class
of people who make the garb of ssnetity
a mask to conceal their wickedness. The
superficial world terms them good citi-
zens because they visit church regularly
and contribute to some foreign charity.
But if the curtain was drawn aside you
would in many instances behold them in
their true coiors. Domestic tyrants, luke
warm in conjugal love, harsh TO their
children, spurning the bggar from their
docrs, and merciltss in exac,ing pay
ments from the poor debtor. Yet such
men with o devout sir and sanctifed looks,
are looked upon with reverence, and es-
tsemed as patterns Of piety and holiness.
