The “ptKjy” called “Doctor” preaches in Bedford street, Boston.

The murderer’s Soliloquy. When sentence of death in pronounced upon a human being, however dark and horrible his crimes, ho wever just the sen tence, we cannot but Sympathise with him, and, in the inmost recesses of pur hearts, pity and sympathise with his friends. We may feel that it is, just and right that the protection of the community demands that the law should be enforced, without pity, to the .offender, that all wilful offenders should suffer the full penalty the law de nounces against the violation. Yet the taking of human life by the requirements of law, has so much the appearance of “cold and deliberate 1 taking of life,” that we cannot dwell on it without doing vio lence to the better feelings of our natures. It is not the mere depriving a fellow be ing of life, that renders it so terrible to our feelings, or agonizing to the criminal; but it is the long contemplation of the horrible and infamous death he is to suf fer, the pain it inflicts on'khe relatives of the criminal, the shame land disgrace that his wicked career has I entailed 1 on Ms Mends, is what gives poignancy to the wretched criminal’s Meditation, and fills his heart with black despair, as he rolls and tosses, or walks his dreary cell. Below we give an [extract from a letter of the Baltimore Po lice Gazette. We commend it to the at tention of young iuen, | especially those who are just entering upph a career pf vice. The young man whose soliloquy has respectable parents, and was tenderly raised. He disobeyed Ms parents, abro gated the laws of God and man, frequen ted drinking bouses, 1 and other places of wickedness, got drunk, and while under the influence of strong drink, committed a murder for wjhioh he is sentenced to be hung. Read it, young man, ponder over it, abandon wicked associates, obey your parents, never enter drinking hells, stop in your mad career of vice, or this young man’s doom, my also be your doom: “In this section of the city is the jail, and I will close by giving you the solilo quy of ope of its inmates, after bearing the dreadful warrant of death read to him, which fixed the fatal day of his execution. After having in a most feeling manner an nounced the sad intelligence, the Sheriff retired and condemned man was left withhat a solitary companion in Ms gloom dungeon. For a short time he remained fINDEPENDENT IN EVERYTHING. 3 in his seat and was silent. When sudden ly he arose, and exclaiming in att the im passioned agony of his feefingsOh, God, my mother! Oh, God I Oh, Godt my father 1 my aged father I Oh 1 Oh lam 1, most I thus die? • Oh, dear, broken-hear ted mother. My God? my goodold fath er. Are these dear, dear parents to live to witness this dreadful spectacle? Oh I those venerable dear grey hairs. Oh I my heart is bursting. God hare mercy 1 Oh, my God, (involuntarily falling on bis knees,) Oh! God. of mercy. Oh! my God, spare, in some way, only possible to thee, my aged, my tender, my already heart broken parents, this'last, this terrible blow. Oh, God! for myself, their disobedient, their undutiful, their erring and unworthy son. Ob, God, let mylife be but spared, and let it be one of continued and never ending torture. Save me> ph! save me from this last terrible blow to nature. — (Here his voice became choked, and he was for a moment silent, bat slowly rising and again in calm and subdued tonds, he continued,) Oh, fatal and deluded than that 1 have been. Ob, could 1 but retn ce these steps. Oh, God, could time but be allowed me to once more .enter the world, and by a life of rectitude remove the stain which has been oast upon those dearest to my on earth. Cannot, oh,no, vain thought no, lam doomed to suffer.. Oh I dear est mother.' Oh! my dear father, and you my brothers, and oh, my tender, my sweet, affectionate sisters. Oh, God! (impassion ately,) To what have I brought myself, to what have I not brought those dearest ones on earth ? Oh, could I but - save these dear ones the horror of feelings which this degrading spectacle must bring, (a thoughtful psusc.) Oh, no. Oh, my God, it must not be. Oh, my sainted mother! 1 will not add the crime of self destrubtion on my soul. Oh, my God, to thee 1 will look. Oh, God, assist me to devote what yet remains to me of life on earth ls to repentance for my many errors. Oh, God, sustain my aged and beloved pa rents and friends under this dreadful trial.
