without venturing to mention circumstances which, however true, could gain but little credit with my stern adversary, whose eagerness to confound vice, arising from his extreme love of virtue, would not fail to obtain my respect, while it involved me in all the consequences of the most flagrant guilt! A word more, and I have done!—I feel myself exceedingly weak; and if I may be indulged, after condemnation, with a respite of a few days, I trust that I shall be enabled to breathe out my unhappy spirit in prayers for my kind judges, without suffering the whole of that ignominy to which human justice must necessarily consign me!' He then bowed respectfully to the judge, the jury, and the barrister, and said that he had given them too much trouble, but thanked them, and would give them no more.

It can hardly be necessary to remark, that this scene was truly affecting; which was, indeed, one of the most distressing spectacles ever beheld. The manly resignation of the youth, his natural eloquence, and apparent goodness of heart joined to a figure which, when prejudices were subsided, evidently wanted only health, felicity and dress, to render it the most elegant and captivating that could possibly be conceived, all conspired to touch the heart of every beholder.

Even the barrister-who had seldom been so severely rebuked by his father as on this occasion, and who felt his lofty spirit indebted to a poor criminal for a delicate apology, which he was conscious of not being entitled to receive from him-thought it necessary to rise, and to declare that he should be as willing to consider the young man guiltless as any person present, were the circumstances of the robbery less decisive, and that, after all, if the jury could, in their consciences, acquit him, he would promise them that he should rejoice in the verdict.

But though Sir Edward was fully sensible

As this was what the humane judge had himself intended, should other means fail to succeed, he begged that the physician would take the trouble of preparing him for the occasion, with all convenient expedition.

In less than an hour he was accordingly bro't and his arrival being announced, Sir Edward directed that the fetters with which he was loaded might be struck off previous to his introduction.

As soon as the poor youth entered the room-bowing with the most affecting union of dignity, respect, and humility, while a few big tears escaped, in spite of every effort, from Sir Edward then observed that he was glad his intelligent eyes-Sir Edward ordered every to see his son recollect himself; but that, one to withdraw. They were no sooner alone, indeed, they had all probably been at first than the humane judge placed a chair near his prepossessed against the prisoner, from their own, and in the kindest accents bade him be natural love of the deceased, and well founded || seated. In the meantime he for a moment esteem of his worthy family. "The law, however,' added Sir Edward, addressing the jury, is no respecter of persons. You are neither meanly to favor-nor, on the other hand, haughtily or wantonly to aggravate-the crimes of the rich and powerful; and you are neither to despise at all, nor to compassionate too much-though this, I confess, seems to me the lesser evil-the offences of the poor and friendless. You are judges of the fact; to you, therefore, I must leave the decision: and may God, the only true Judge, and who alone knows with certainty the heart of man, direct you to give a just verdict!'

The jury now withdrew and in about half an hour, returned their verdict Guilty of the robbery, but not of the murder.' The young

turned away, as if to examine some papers,
that the youth might have an opportunity of
recollecting himself. Then filling a glass of
wine, he presented it to his miserable guest,
who received it with trembling and reluctance,
and the instant he had swallowed it, burst into
an involuntary fit of weeping. Sir Edward
now seated himself by the distressed youth,
and with the most inexpressible tenderness,
requested to know if it was in his power to
make him happy.

The youth dropped on his knees. He was about to speak, but Sir Edward would not hear him in that posture. O Sir,' cried the youth, as Sir Edward assisted to re-seat him, why do you perform the part of a divinity to a forlorn wretch, if you will not receive his

effect.

Your goodness has overwhelmed me, Sir!' ried the youth, and I cannot refuse any satisfaction which it may be in the power of so miserable a being as myself to afford his benign benefactor, not that I have the smallest wish to live, but I would, I confess, willingly avoid a death of shame! What then shall I say? The picture was given me by my expiring mother! O thou ever blessed saint!' ejaculated the duteous youth, as he mentioned the venerated name, could I forget the giftcould I lose the remembrance of the manner in which it was given-never should I hope to participate with thee in that unceasing bliss which thou wast then sadly, but patiently, hastening to enjoy!'

Here he stopped, for his grief would not suffer him to proceed, and in wiping his face, the portrait, which he had held between his hands, slipping from between them, fell suspended on the outside of his clothes. The resemblance immediately met the eye of Sir Edward, who instantly recognized the features! At this discovery, the good judge felt an increased interest; and he was about to make more particular inquiries, as he saw him replacing the picture, when suddenly his son Charles Henry entered the room.

I am come,' cried the barrister, 'to make some atonement for my fault. The young man is, indeed, innocent of Mr. Archer's

murder, the perpetrator of which is now fully known. That unfortunate gentleman, it seems was attacked early in the morning by a single highwayman, to whom he freely gave a few guineas, accompanied with an ill-timed admonition on the way of life in which the robber was engaged. The villain exasperated at being thus unexpectedly reproved, aimed at stroke at Mr. Archer's head with the end of his pistol. Roused to desperation by the unmanly assault, Mr. Archer wrested it from him, and in his rage fired at the dastardly assailant, whom he wounded in the neck. On this, the base wretch, who had now a second pistol ready, immediately discharged it in Mr. Archer's breast, and then rode off, across the country, to Skipton, in Yorkshire. There he remained concealed for a few days, till a gangrene taking place, he was compelled to call in the aid of a surgeon, when finding there was no hope of recovery, he begged that a clergyman might be sent for, to whom he confessed these particulars, and intreated that they might be made publicly known the instant he expired, which happened the next day, to prevent any innocent person from suffering for his offence. The intelligence,' added the barrister, is just arrived, and I congratulate the young man on a circumstance which must free him in the most prejudiced mind from any remaining suspicion of the murder.'

The youth bowed and Sir Edward thanked his son for bringing the welcome information. And now, Charles Henry,' said the judge, I have news which concerns you. Do you not remember losing at Oxford the portrait which I gave you on your first going to the university?'

The barrier's countenance instantly changed to a deadly pale, as he feebly pronounced'Certainly Sir.'

Ask then the young man to show it you,' continued Sir Edward, for it is that which was this day in court, and which now depends

from his neck.'

As the youth drew the picture from his bosom, his eye suddenly glanced from the portrait to the features before him. The resemblance was too striking, longer to escape his notice; he dropped on one knee, and clasping his hands- It is, it is my father! he exclaimed, and I shall not die without seeing him!'

'Gracious God!' cried the astonished judge, 'what new mystery is this?'

The hand of Heaven is in it,' replied Charles Henry, as he raised and embraced the youth, and conviction rushes into my mind through a thousand avenues.'

the time when I was suddenly surrounded by
the gentlemen who first took me into custody,
the terror which their accusations occasioned,
and the roughness of their treatment, deprived
me of the power of utterance, and their
increased exultations on finding the property
of the deceased in my possession, made me
quite give myself over as lost. I therefore did
not offer to tell them, as was actually the case,
that I was only hastening to procure a surgeon
for the dying man, whom I had left weltering
in his blood, and that I had mounted the horse,
which stood quietly by him, for the sake of
expedition, first putting up carefully together
in my handkerchief all the valuables I found
about him, lest some one should in my absence
come by, who might be less disposed to restore
them undiminished.'

'And what amends can any contrition now
make,' said Sir Edward, to the poor victims
of your ungoverned lust? Has not a single
moment's guilty gratification been purchased
by the misery of two innocent lives, one of
which is already gone to appear against you
at the bar of Divine Justice, and the other had
but too nearly followed? Heaven knows how
many more have been dismissed on the same
errand! What then shall finally be the dreadful
sentence of a wretch so truly criminal?'
The barrister could make no reply, but threw
himself at the feet of his father, and the youth,
who seemed to have quite forgotten the nature
of his own situation, followed the example.

Sir Edward was vanquished, and the tears gleamed on his cheek. Rise, my children,' he exclaimed, both have shown a contrition which entitles you to the forgiveness of man, and I hope to that of Heaven!-But,' continued Sir Edward, after a pause of anguish, addressing himself to his son, will it not be urged that the law remains unsatisfied, if pardon should be extended to this unhappy youth after so clear a conviction? I cannot bear the loss of my integrity, and may it not be inferred that the criminal has escaped, only to prevent my grandson from suffering? How then shall I justify such conduct to the world, and what is of still higher importance, to myself?'

The offence of my unhappy son,' replied the barrister,' is a mere venial offence, and deserves not the name of felony. Loaded with distress, and under the pressure of want, he was tempted to seize, inconsiderately, what the unfortunate owner could no longer enjoy; it was, probably, the impulse of a moment's guilt, which had never before arisen in his mind, and which would never have returned; and who is there in existence that has never known a guilty moment? Who has not, at some unguarded instant, been himself a criminal?' 'Your reasoning,' said the judge, is the result of feelings which do not disgrace your heart, though the partiality now prevalent in your mind, has veiled from you the ill consequences which must arise to society were the principle universally admitted. But we have yet never heard the youth's own account of a transaction in which he is so deeply interested, and though he neglected to enter into particulars at the proper opportunity, I am powerfully impressed with the idea that some general assertions of innocence, which have fallen from him in the course of this wonderful affair, are far better founded than our fallible

Sir Edward was abundantly satisfied, and the barrister again pressed the youth with transport to his breast.

They proceeded the same evening to Sir Edward's delightful seat, where they still live together in the most enchanting retirement ; Sir Edward, for that purpose, quitting the bench, and his son, Charles Henry, the bar, which they had long so considerably adorned.

The particulars of this interesting affair were in a variety of forms soon noised about throughout the whole country. Where it is still a common phrase among that numerous tribe, the self-considered sagacious—that where the father happens to be a barrister, and the grandfather a judge, the criminal is in no danger!

If, however, the affecting history of SALLY JOHNSON should ever be published—of which there are some hopes; Sir Edward strongly recommending the necessity of such a measure to his son, Charles Henry, as the most perfect retribution in his power-it is thought that even these rigid adherents to once-entertained opinions, will suffer a sufficient relaxation of their accustomed severity, to believe, if not to confess, that the young man was in reality innocent, and that his father was the only

than men.'

In the accounts of the action, published at the time in the New-York Mercury, and in the Historical Chronicle of that year, it is stated that Mr. Van Schaick, of Albany, particularly distinguished himself.' In Si William's official account, the gallantry of Captain McGinnis's corps is also warmly praised. Under the patronage of the earl of London, his father's friend, he was subsequently promoted. He was next present at

the attack on Ticonderoga, in 1758, (where Lord Howe was killed,) and received a wound in his face from a musket ball, the effects of which he felt during the rest of his life, and which, indeed, eventually caused his death. He served with the provincials until the close of the French war, and retired with the rank of lieutenant-colonel.

When the revolution commenced, Colonel Van Schaick took sides with his countrymen, although his early prepossessions might naturally enough have been for the government, in whose service he had already distinguished himself. At the first muster of the militia of the city of Albany, which took place on the opposite side of the river, no person was present who was found capable of organizing them; Colonel Van Schaick was then requested to undertake the task, which he accomplished to the entire satisfaction of all.

When, by the recommendation of congress, the different states commenced the formation of the regiments of the line, Colonel Van Schaick received the command of the first New-York regiment. His commission bore date the twenty-eighth of June, 1775. During the same year, in November, he took command at Fort George, by the orders of General Schuyler. In 1778, Colonel Van Schaick, having joined the main army, was present at the battle of Monmouth court-house. He that day acted as brigadier in the division of Lord Sterling, who occupied the left of the American position; and, by the fire of a few pieces of artillery, aided by the steady conduct of the New-York and other regiments, formed a complete check to the British columns. An officer, who well remembers the circumstances of that eventful day, says, that when the NewYork regiment came into line it was so compact, so well filled, so soldier-like and perfect in its movements, that it was mistaken for a brigade, and was received with cheers along the line. Colonel Van Schaick fought that day on foot, and at intervals, during the fighting, was seen deliberately smoking a pipe, with great apparent satisfaction. In 1779, his regiment was ordered to Fort Schuyler, which it garrisoned; and, while he was in command there for a few months, his men had frequent skirmishes with the enemy lurking in the neighborhood. The relations between the Indians and the Americans received also the assiduous care of this vigilant commander. In April of that year he conducted an expe. dition against the Onondaga settlements, which was crowned with success. The details of this affair, in which Colonel Willet and Major Cochran assisted, are not generally known, but they gave evidence of great judgment and military foresight. He marched his detachment of men one hundred and fifty-five miles in five days and a half, surprised the enemy, aid waste their towns, destroyed their

A HUMAN being in perfection ought always to preserve a calm and peaceful mind, and never to allow passion or a transitory desire to disturb his tranquillity. I do not think that the pursuit of knowledge is an exception to this rule. If the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections, and to destroy your taste for those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful, that is to say, not befitting the human mind.

Oh! hadst thou still on earth remained,
Vision of beauty! fair as brief!
How soon thy brightness had been stained
With passion or with grief!

Now not a sullying breath can rise,

To dim thy glory in the skies."
