May not an ignor ance of the full effect of crims, on the he »rt, and life, have a strong agency J in the production of this int?faat’mn, and frequently remove a strong harrier to its execution? A philosophical view of the effect of crime, on the Aeodl and heart, the affections, and passions, from the hand oi a mister, would astonish the reflecting and virtuous, and indeed all to whom t ie subject is new. Tlie concluding part of the inclosed sketch, descriptive of the reports and religious odhef of the surrounding neighborhood affords at least a strong proof of the-, natural abhorcnce in the breast of the crime of murder, if it lees equally of tne susceptibility of the miud, to receive die impressions of superstitious suggestion.

On inquiry, i found (bat it would require some davs to get within iC? a crossing would then only he safe. Reconciling my feeling to the necessity of the case, I determined to rest myself, and m\ horse, considerably jaded by travel arid tn obtain . all the gratification I could, during my stay,by accorrimodat mg myself to the simplicity, of a num ber of apparently happy, and kind .bein,'- although of understandings ex treine'vT.iftited owing to their seclusion iron me world, <& having heendenied hose advantages, that enlarge and en ‘lighten the mind.

A few minutes after our arri val, I was asked to walk into Ins room, 1 an aparim mt in a small cabin, around which every object gave striking evi- 1 deuce, that something vas dreadfully wrong among them.
