THE MtnDEKER. The following description of the murder er. 1 in extract of the argument of Dakikl V kbstkr, in the case of Ktispp, who was charged with the murder of Mr. White, Essex county, Massachu setts': Deep sleep had fallen on the destined victim, and on all beneath his roof. A be-ilthrul olu man, to whom sleep wa whom sleep .....at li first tnunil alumliers nf lVi niivlit held him in their soft, but strong embrace, The assassin enters through the window, already ' prrparetU into, an unoccupied tpat tihent. Willi noiseless foot h paces the lonely hall, half lighted by the moon; he winds up the ascent of the stairs, and reaches the door of the chamber Of this he moves the lock by soft and continued pressure, till it turns on its hinges; and lie enters and beholds his victim before him. The moon was uncommonly open to the admission of light. The face of the innocent sleeper was turned from the murderer, and .the beams of the moon ruting on the gray locks of his aged tem- plr, showed nun wiiere io airiKe. inc fatal blow is given! and the victim passes, without a struggle or motion from the re pose of sleep to the repose of death! It it t;he assassin's purpose to make sure work; and he plies the dagger, though it was obvious that lite hail been destroyed lT the blowof the bludgeon, lie even ris the aged, arm, mat ne may not fan I in his aim ai tne neari, anu replaces, n main over the wounds of the poinard! To finish the picture, he explores the wriit fur the pulse! he feels it, and' as certains that it beats no longer! It is accomplished. The deed is don! He retreats, retraces his steps to the window, rttises out through as he came in, and escapes, tie nas uone tne muruer -no v a. " t 1 eye has seen htm, no ear has heard him. The secret is his own, and he is safe! Ah! gentlemen, lhat was a dreadful mistake. Such a secret can De sate no here. The whole creation of God ha neither nook nor corner where the guilty tan bestow it, and say -it is safe. Not togpeak of that eye which glances through ill disguiies, and beholds eyery thing i in thcsplendor of noon such cc6ts of guilt are never safe from detection, even by men. True it is, generally speaking, murder will out." True it is, that Providence hath so ordained, and dolh so govern things,' that those who break the great law'ot heaven, by shtd ding man's biped, seldom -succeeds avoiding; discovery. A thousand e turn at once to explore every man, ery tliing,evcry circumstance, connectedwith the time and place; a thousand ears catclt each whisper; a thotfsand excited minds intensely dwell on the' scene, shedding all their light, ami ready to kindle the slightest circumstance into a blaze of dis covitt. Meantime the guilty sou! can not keen its own secret. It is false to it- rl!; or tathcr it feels an irreslstab'e im pulse oi conscience to be true itself. It labors under its guilty possession, and knows not what to do with it. The hu man heart was not made for theWsidence cf such an inhabitant. It finds itself pi eyed on by a torment, which it doe not acknowledge to God nor man. A vulture is devouring it, and it can ask no Empathy, or assistance, either from hea ven or earih. The secret which the inur a iercr possesses soon comes to possess him : ai,d like the evil spirits of which we read, it overcomes him, and leads him whithersoever he will. He feels it bat it'g at his heart, rising to his throat, and ih-manding disclosure. He thinks the hole world sees it in his face', reads in hi eyes, and almost hears its workings n the very silence of his thoughts. It has become his master. It betrays his dis cretion; it breaks down his courage,, it currjura Lb prudence. When suspicions hfiu without begin ti embarrass lum. and the i.et of circumstances to entangle him. tlie fatal secret struggles with still greater violence to burst forth. . It must be con 'sd. it will be -coJiiesse.fi. there is no ttfuge from confession but, suicide, and tuicnle :s vonfession. Much has been said on this occasion of "e exciirjiurnt which has existed, and HH exists, and of the extraordinary insures tak-n to discover jana punish guilty. No doubt there has been; a,l,l is, hiueh excitement, and strange in eil were it, had it been otherwise. jiould not all the peaceable and well d'spoed be concerned, and naturally ex rl lh.eisclTC5 to bVing to puuishmeit the i ii thorn of this secret assassination? Was it a thing to be slept upon and forgotten? Did you, gentlemen, sleep quite as quiet ly in your beds after this murder a be fore? Was it not a cane for rewards; (or oeetings for committees, for the united efforts ol the good, to find out a band of murderous conspirators, of midnight ruf nans, and trr bring them to the bar oT justice and the law? If this be excite ment, is it an unnatural, orTmproper ex citement? It seems to me, gentlemen, that there are appearances of another feeling, of a;cloud very different nature and character, not very, extensive I would hope, Ijut still there is too much evidenced its existence. Such, is human nature, that some persons lose their abhorrence of crime, in their admiration of its magnificent exhibitions. Ordinary vice is reprobated by them, but extraordinary guilt, exquisite wick edness, the high flights and poetry of crime, seize on the imagination, and lead them to forget the depths of the guilt, in admiration of the excellence of the per formance, or the unequalled atrocity of the purpose. There are those in our day who have made great use of this infirmity of our nature and bv means of it done in finite injury to the cause of good morals They have affected not only the taste, but also the principles otthe young the heetl less,and the imaginative, by the exhibition of interesting and beautiful monsters.- They render depravity attractive, some times by the polish of its manners, and sometimes by its very extravagance; and study to show off crime under all the ad vantages of cleverness and dexterity. Gentlemen this is an extraordinary mur derbut it is still a murder." CHARM OF A RATTLE SXAKE. An extract from yemassee," a Ro mance of South Carolina, by the author of Guy Rivers, &c. He does not come he does nt come,' she murmured, as she stood contemplat ing the thick cope spreading -before her. and forming the barrier which terminated the beautiful range of oaks which consti tuted the grove. How beautiful was the green and garnature of that little copse ol wood ! the leaves were thick, anil the grass around lay folded over and over in bunches, with here and there a wild flower gleaming from its green, and making of it a beautiful carpet of the rich est and most varied texture. A small tree rose from the centre of a clump. around which a wild grape gadded luxu riantly ; and with an incoherent sense of what she saw, she lingered before the lit tle cluster, seeming to survey that which she had mo thought for at the moment. Things grew indistinct to her .wandering eye ; the thought was turned inward and the musing spirit dcn3'iug the govern ing sense to the external spirits and con ductor, they failed duly to appreciate the forms that floated & glided before them. In this wav, the leaf detached made no impression upon the sight that was bent upon it : she saw not the bird, though it whirled untroubled by a fear, in wanton circles around her head : and the black snake, with the rapidity of an arrow, darted over her path without arousing a in;le terror in the form that otherwise would have shivered but at its oppear a nee. And vet, though thus indistinct were all thing around her to the musing mind of the maiden, her eye was singu larly impressed with the. object peering out at intervals tram the little bush be neath it. She saw, or thought she saw, at moments, through the light green of the leaves, a star-tike glance, a small subtle, sharp, beautiful : an eye of the leaf .itself, ttarting the most searching looks into licr own. Now the leaves shook and the vines waved elastically and in beautiful forests before her, but the star-like eve was there, bright &. gor geous, anil still glaircing up to her own. How beautiful, how strange, did it ap pear to the maiden. She watched it still with a dreaming sense, but with a spirit strangely attracted by its beauty -with a feeling itf which awe and admiration were ii ti ri tit equally commingled, one coinu nave bent forward to pluck the gem l.ke thing from the bosom of the leal in which it seemed to grow, and from which it gleam ed so brilliantly ; but once, as she ap proached, she heard a shrill scream from the tree above her,' such a scream as the mock bird makes, when angrily it raises its dusky crest, and flaps its wings fu- - ar . m r . nously against its slender sides, oucu a scream seemed like a warning, and though yet unawakened to full consciousness, it repelled her a'pproaclu More than once in her survey of this strange object, had she heard that shrill note, and still had it carried tojier ear the same note of warn ling, and to her mind the same vague con- ! sciouRes of an evil nrcptir. Hot the star-like eye was yet upon her own small, bright eye, quick like that of a bird, now stead j in its place and obscrt mt seemingly only ofhers, now darting forward with all the clustering leaves .bout it, and shooting up towards her, as f wooing her to seize. At another mo me tit;' rivetted to the vine which lay a- round it, it would whirl round ami round. dar-zlingly bright and beautiful, eyen as a torch -waving hurriedly by night in theltnstike, the huge jaws unclosing almost hands of some playful boy; but, in all (directly above her, the long tubulated his time, the "lance was never taken from her own; there it grew fixed. ' a very principle of light ; and such a light, a subtle, burning:, piercinjr, fascinating light, such a 'gathers in. vapor above the. old grave, and binds us a we look shooting, darting directly into her own. ing her gaze, defeating its sense of discrimination, and confusing strangely lhat of perception. She. felt dizzy, for as she looked, a oi colors, bright, gay, various col- ors, floated and hung like so fmuch dra-jlive Orconnesfoga, who had fortunately pery around the single object that had so reached the sp:t in season, on his wa secured hr attention and spell bound her J to the Block IIoue. lie -rushed from feet. Her limbs felt momently more audi the copse as the snake fe'l. and, with a more insecure : her blood grew cold, and stick, fearlessly annroached him where hi she seemed to feel a gradual freeze nf vein by vein, throughout her person. At that moment a rustling was heard in the bran ches of the tree hside her, and th" bird, which had repeatedly uttered a single cry. as it were of warning, above her., new awav from its station with a scream more piercing than ever. This inoveinen't had the effect, for which it seemed really in tended, of bringing back to her a portion of the eoRtciousness she seemed so totally to have been deprived of before. She strove to move from before the beautiful but terrible presence, but for a while ihe trore in vain. The rich star-like glance still rivetted her own, and the subtle fascination still kept her hound. The mental energies, however, with the mo ment of their greatest trial, now gathered suddenly to her aid, and with a desperate effort, but with a feeling still nf most an noying uncertainty and dread, he suc ceeded partially in the attempt, and lean ed backward against the neighboring tree. feeble, tottering, and depending upon it for that support which her own limbs al most entirely denied her. With her move ment, however, came the full develop ment of the poweiful spell and dreadful mystery hvfore her. As her feet rece ded, though but for a single pace, to the tree against which she now rested, the audible articulated ring, like that of a watch when wound up with the verge bro ken, announced fhe nature of that splen did yet dangerous presence, in the form of the monstrous rattlemake now but a Tew feet from her, lying coiled at the bottom of a beautiful shrub, with which, to her dreaming eye, many of its own glorious hues had been associated. She was conscious enough to discrimi nate and to perceive, but terror had de nied her the strength necessary to fly from her dreadful enemy. There still the eye glared beautifully bright and piercing upon her own i and, seemingh in a spirit of sport, he slowly unwound himself from Ins coil, then immediately ihe next moment, again . gathered himsell into its muscular masses ; the rattle still slightly ringing at intervals, and giving forth the paralysing sound which, once heard, is remembered forever. The rep tile all this while appeared to be con scious ofj and to sport with, while seek ing to excite her terrors. Now, with it flat head, Hitehded mouth, and curving neck, would it dart forward it long form towards her, its fatal, teeth unfolding on either side of its jaws, seeming to threat en her with instantaneous death, while it nnwprful eve hot forth irtanccs of that fatal power of fascination; malig nantly bright, which, by paralysing with a novel form of terror and of beautv, may readily account for the spell it possesses of binding the feet of the timid, and de nying to fear even hc privilege ot night. Then, the next moment, recovering quscK ly. it would resume, its folds, and will arrhiuu- neck, which now flittered like a bar of grazed copper, and fixed eye continue calmlv as it were to contemplate the victim of its secreted veftom, the pen dulous rattle still ringing the death note as if to ni enare the conscious mind tor the fare which is at hand. Its various folds were now complete the coil form inir a series of knots : the muscles now and then, risinz rijridlv into a hill, now 'corded down by the pressure ol another T of its fold into a valley. These suddenly unclasping, in the general ettort to strike i's enemy, give it that degree of impetus which enables it to make its stroke as a tal. at the full extent of its owrt length. as when, suddenly invaded, its head is simply elevated and the blow given. The glance ot licss Matthews at this moment upon her enemy-, assured her that the gpnrt of the deadly reptile was about to cease. She could not now mistake the fearful expression of its eye. She . a . a ' ' I t strove to scream, but her voice dieu awav in her throat. Her lips were sealed ; she go u "lit to fly, but her limbs were palsied : she had nothing left ot lite but its con- - . . , r sciousness, and in despair oi escape, forced from her by the accumulated ago- ity, she sunk down upon ine grass uciore . .. . ' 1 1 u t her enemy her eyes, however, stm open, - a .Ml and still looking upon those which he di reefed forever upon them. She saw him apftach now .advancing, now receding now swelling in every part with some Chin"- of anger, while hi neck was arched h. arm fully like that of a wild horse un der the curb ! until, at length, tired as il were of plav, like the cat with its victim, ishe saw the neck growing larger and be coming completely bronzed whem aboui charged with venom, protruding irom me cavernous mouth and she saw no more ! Insensibility came to her aid, and she lay almost lifeless under the ve ry folds of the monster. In that moment the copse parted, ami an arrow, piercing him through and through the neck, bore his head forward, to the ground, along cidc of the maiden while his spiral extrem ities, now unfolding in his own agony. were actua ly, in nar resting upon her person. the arrow came from the fu-i lay writhing upon the grasi. Seeing him advance, the courageous reptile made an fforf to regain his coil, whil.; shaking fhe feaiTu! rattle violently at every-evo lution he took for that purpme ; but th arrow, completely passing through hi neck, opposed an unyielding obype'e to the endeavor ; and finding it hopeless, and seeing the new enemy about to as sault him, with something of the spirit of the white man under like circumstan ces he turned recklessly around,, and striking hia fangs, so that they were riv etfed in the wound they made, into a sus ceptible part of hi nwfl bodv, he threw himself over upon his back "ith a single convulsion, and a moment after lay dead .1 V mm " upon tne person of the maiden. Behaviour nfFemulii ti Company. Une of the Chief beauties in a female char acter is invest reserve : that retiring de i- cacy wnicn avoids tne public eye, and is even disconcerted at the caze of admira tion. When a irirl ceases to blush, she has ost the most powerful charm of" beau f v.. fhe extreme sensibility whirh it indicates may be considered as a weefcne and in cuinbrance to the other sex ; but in females is pecuriarly engaged. A blushing is so ar irom being necessarily attendant on guilt, that it is the usual company of inno cence. i nai mooesiy winch is so essen ti . i i - , - i tia! to the sex, will naturally dispose them to be rather silent in company, especially in a large one. ; people of sense and dis cernment will never take such silence for dullness. A person may take a share in conversation without uttering a syllable the expression of the countenance shows it, and thts never escapes an observing eye. Converse with men with that dignified mod esty which may prevent the approach of the most distant familiarity, ami consequently prevent them feeling themselves jnur su periors. vv it is the most dangerous talent which a female can possess. It must be guarded .I .! t 1. with great discretion ami good nature otherwise it will create many enemies. Wit is perfectly consistent with suftness and delicacy, yet they -are seldom found united. V it is so flattering to vanity, that they who possess it become intoxicated and loose all self command. Humor is a different quality. It will make your com pany much solicited but be cautious how you indulge it : it is often a great enemy to delicacy, and a still greater one to dig nity of character. It may sometimes gain you applause, but wijl never procure you respect. Beware of detraction, especially where your own sex arc concerned. You are generally accused of being particularly ad dicted to this vice, perhaps, unjustly ; men -i .I. .... i arc tuiiv as guiiiv oi it wnen neir interest interferes: Hut as your interest frequent1 ly clash, and as your feelings are quicker, your temptations to it are more frequent. For th's reason' be particularly careful of the reputation of your own sex. Consider every species of indelicacy in conversation as shameful in itself, and highly disguting to modest men, as well as to you. The dissoluteness of some men's education may allow them to be. diverted with a kind of wit, which yet they have del icacy pnough to be shocked at when it comes rrom the mouth of a female, Christian purity is of that delicate nature that it can not even hear certain things without con tamination. It is always :n the power of women to avoid these ; no man but a brute or a fool will insult a woman with conversation which he sees gives her pain ; nor will he dare, to do it if she resent the injury with becoming spirit. I here is a dignity in conscious virtue which is able to awe the most shameless and abandoned of men. You will be reproached, perhaps. with an affectation of delicacy ; but, at any rate it is bolter to run the risk of being thought ridiculous than disgusting. The men will complain of your reserve j they will assure vou that a frank behaviour would make you more amiable ; but they arertot sincere when thev ten you so. it mignt, . . 11 V. . on some occasions, render yon more agree able as companions 5 but it would make you less amiable as women, an important distinction, of which many of the ser are not aware. m . . .
