Bellevue gazette. [volume] (Bellevue City, N.T. [i.e. Neb.]) 1856-1858, 1857-01-08

The following account Of the case Of a
girl, who was wrongly executed in l768,
is given by celebrated French author,
as an instance Of injustice which was often
committed by the equivocal mode Of trial
then used in France.
About seventeen years since, young
peasant girl wns placed ut Paris in the
service Of q man, who, smitten with her
beauty, tried to inveigle her; but she was
virtuous and resisted. The prudence Of
this girl irritated the master, and he de-
termined on revenge. He secretly con-
veyed into her box many things belong
ing to him, marked with his name. He
then exclaimed that he was robbed, called
in commissaire Ia ministerial officer OF
justice) and made his deposition. The
girls box was searched, and the things
were discovered. The unhappy servant
was accordingly imprisoned.
She defended herself only by her tears;
she had no evidence to prove that she did
not put the property in her box; and her
only answer TO the interrogatories was,
that she was innocent. The judges had
no suspicion of the depravity Of the ac-
cuser, whose station was respectable, and
they administered the law in all its rigor.
The innocent girl was condemned to be
hanged. The dreadful Office was effect
ually performed, as il was the first attempt
of the son of the chief executioner. A
surgeon had purchased the body for dis
section, and il was conveyed to his house.
On that evening, being about to open the
head, he perceived gentle warmth about
the body. The dissecting knife fell from
his hand, and he placed in a bed her
whom he was about to dissect. .. ..lT
His efforts to restore her to life was
.effectual, and at the same time he sent for
clergyman on whose discretion and ex.
perience he could depend, in order to con.
suit with him ON this strange event as
we'll as to have him for witness TO his
conduct. The moment the unfortunate
girl opened her eyes she believed herself
in the other world, and perceiving the
figure Of the priest, who had marked
and majestic coun.enance, she joined her
hands tremblingly and exclaimed, .Eter-
nal Father, you know my innocence, have
pity on mer In this manner she contin-
ued to invoke the ecclesiastic, believing in
her simplicity that she beheld her God.
They were long in perSnding her that
she was not dead-so much had the idea
of the punishment and death possessed
her imagination.
The girl having returned to life and
health, she retired to hide herself in q
distant village, fearing to meet the judges
or the officers, who, with the dreadful
tree, necessarily haunted her imagination.
The accuser remained unpunished, be.
cause his crime, although manifested by
two individual witnesses, was not clear 10
the eyes Of the law. The people subse-
quently became acquainted with the re-
surrection Of this girl, and loaded with re-
proaches the author Of her misery. z'

tan. Tie promise is as true and real at
this moment as when first uttered that.
our Heavenly Father sis more willing TO

sinner, and how can this blessed and won

Prayer will secure this blessing; and who
but you, dear Christian, can truly pray
And will You refuse? The judgment seat
of Christ is before you, and the response

holy zeal will be awakened within YOU.
the enemies of the gospel will fall on your
right hand and on your left. God will
be glorious in his own work, and the devil

USES OF THE

81 nave been in the habit" 81 VS. a cele
brated Euglish physician, during a great
many years, of considering the uses OF the
Sabbath, and observing it's abuses. The
abuses are chiefly manifested in labor and
dissipation. The use, medically speaking
IS that of day of rest. In u theological
sense it is a holy rest, providing Tor the in
struction of new and sublime ideas in the
mind OF man, preparing him for his future
state. As n day of rest | view it as a dav
OF compensation for the inadequate resto
rative power of the body under continued.
labor and excitement. If | show YOU.
from the physiological view Of the question,
that there are provisions in the law of Ma.
ture which correspond with the Divine
commandment, yon will see from the an
alogy that the SABBATH was made for man
as a necessary appointment. A physician
IS anxious to preserve the balance of the
circulation as necessary TO the restorative
power of the body. The ordinary ex er.
lions q man run down the circulation
every day OF his life and the first general
law OF nature by which God (who is not
only the giyer, but also the preserver and
sustainer OF hfe,) prevents nan from de
tsr0yiTg h'nlse!t is the alternating Of the
day and night, that repose may succeed
action. But although the night apparent
equalizes the circulation well, il does not
sufficiently restore its balance for the at
taInment of a long life. Hence, one day
in seven, by the bounty of Providence, is
thrown IN as a day Of compensation, TO
perfect by its repose the animal system.
] consider that, in the bountifui proyis.
ion made 10y The Almighty God for the
preservation Of human life, the Sabbath.

times ~lheologiealIy viewed, simply a pre-
