happened that the lining getaleman took

before the lady, feeling ,the dignity. and.
pride of her station, determined to make
herself known to the strangerby informing
him that she was no less a personage than .
the wife of the Governor. ,Coruita Was
not a little surprised at this announcement,
but expressed his grutification in terms of
due reverence at having so disiinginshed a
personage as his •• companion 'efit voyage,
and - made some allusion to the probable re

ily leaned batik and langked till the baby,

This.,rhartged the contiereationomd the

had done so
at the outset; so, taking the in 04
arm, awl handing the lady to the ground in
the .politest manner possible, lie led the
:Way - W.the parlor, followed by her lady
ship. There relieving himself of his ten
der charge by plaeingi it upon the sofa, lie
introduced himself in these laconic words :
"Madam, I sin the wagon buy to whom
you: alluded this taunting. My name is
rum Corwin. I have, is you ice, laid
your darling little one on-the flat of his
back:• and you must not be surprised if
should serve his father the same warat

Corwin was too polite to occesion the ,
lady Any embarrassment by stopping to
heir apology, and an hour iillerwaedi
he was harakiguing the incoiruptible free-,
execution. and at the ;allows.
"Well Judge." said he, "I seat for you
to see if you catt't get me out of this scrape.
Most I hang to-morroW ?"
The Judge shook his head ; "It's idle to
hope. nothing can previcit your execution."
"Au applicutioo might he made to the
highest authorities." said the prisoner.—
" l'artloos have come sometimes even on the
teafl'old."
'None will come in your case," replied
the Judge, "it is needless for ate to dwell
on your tilfence now, trot it was -one that
hail no palliation, and you may rest assur
ed. that whatever may have occurred in
other cases, no parchin will collie in yours.
In fact, I understand that all application
has balm', made by your counsel, and has
been refused."
The features of the prisoner underwent
no change nor did the expression - or - his
face alter in the least. But after 'a
mo
ment's pause, he said : this true, Judge
—upon your honor ?"
"It is," replied the Judge.
"Then I know the Weitit - ," replied-tho
criminal, "and will now tell, what I have
to committneate, which I would not huve
done, while there was a hope iff escape.
You," said lie, turning to the Judge. "pre-,
sided at the trial of young Harry Blake,
who was accused of tuurder,and sentenced
him to death."
"And you," said he, turning to Grayson,
"were one of the witnesses against him.
You swore that-you saw him stab Wiek-j
liffe.. On your testimony, principally, he
was hung." .
"I wits," • replied the old man ; "I saw
him with my own eyes."
The prisoner-uttered--a -low sneertng
laugh, as he said, turtling to the Judge:
• " You, Sir, sentenced an innocent Man."'
"And you," said he, turning to the other,
"swore to a falsehood. Harry Blake ditl
not kilt Wickliffe. He was as-innocent of
the sin of murder. as you were—more in
nocent than you are now."
