A11hnnu,11 the author det Inn that lie lias

it is evident that an itch for a linino in
letters, and a zeal to revenge himself for

an iiitnalc of ihe prison have, had some
thing to do in compiliiis the work, the
former of "hit'll lie perhaps may have
attained, and llie hum he certainly Ins
happily <-(Verted. Whoever he may he,
one thinn is certain, that he is a man ol
considerable talent, and has built Ins
hook ill a maimer which would ie.lt mid
to the credit of a writer different I v .situ
nted and more advantageously known in
die moral and literary circles. The Ian
guage employed is t haste, and some
times elegant; the style is open, dear
and perspicuous, often bordering on the
margin of poetical fiction, of which the
following elfusion, describing the fond
ness and faithfulness of his wife in the
hour of afflict inn, is an example : and is
at the same lime highly eoinpliiue.ntai V
to the softer m x, whose constancy, virtue
and iimlevialing piety, is best attested in
ihe hour of distiess, and in thnsu mo
ments whi n our otvn sex too often neg
lect and abandon us to the rude current
of die wot Id, and when we most need
their fiicndship and support.
“ At my sentence, I had many reflec
tions to scutch my very soul. I was m-
int*.I in character, degraded in mv pro*
lessiun, and stigmatized with runic.—
T: > 0 who should have boen mv friends,
stood aloof from and abandoned me ; my
enemies thickened round me. and caliun
ni ited me unpunished; and the very cren
tuns who had profited by n childish
confidence that had ruined me, joined
blushlcssly with the world, in reviling
.ind despising me. In the desolation of
my fortunes, and the blasting of my
hopes, there was one whose destitution
was iiid'-otified with mine. Like a soli
tary flower on some lately blasted heath,
with no glowing litid to cheer, and no
balmy detv to nourish it, tiie idol of my
soul stood mourning over my fortunes.—
The sneer and seolf of the inhuman fell
around her, twit) her path was musical
with the hissing of the unfeeling. The
situation of my vv ife, unprotected and ex
posed to insult as she was, gave the deep
est agony to the very ligaments of mv
soul. Through all the horrors of a dieail
fill and ungenerous persecution, aw aken
ed on mv part hy a puerile impiodence :
in the doleful solitude of my infamy,
when all besides deserted me, and cen
sured even the exercise of sympathy to-
wards me; when apathy used its elo
quence to wean and estrange her from
me; dishonored as I was, she still adher-
r.j to my fortunes, and even in the hel|>-
I.-S5 hour of condemnation, would not,
could not, he constrained to abandon me.
Although every worldly feeling arrayed
itself against her, yet she clung to me the
closer, from my very destitution.
My only fiiend—constant in adversity,
as in prosperity—despising the censure
of her friends for her adherent.e, and tiis
regarding the pitiful malevolence of the
world ;—tutvaids such an invaluable lie
iug, whom I had miserably degraded
what must have been my feelings when
on the eve of hi iug separated, as it were
eternally liom In i ■ Dull anil cold, and
indurated, is the bosom dmt would not he
frantic, under circumsi^pes like these,
This was certainly t lie nm t trying hour of
ui iil • Per u cult d by vill tiny—tortured
by iugt .trade—. Imfcd hy my own tw
foudena—and the tenderest chord <>l
... * - M-i v.’i*’! .' * : file^l V ' i break
ing, I realized what language is 'oo beg
garly to describe, (llatliy would I liavo
taken tho “ wings ol the morning,” and
flown forever from the horrid srenesof
mortality. Gladly would 1 have eviscer
ated my iutuiuicrahle cares, in the dis
mal and howling wilds, and wrapped in
tliesolitudeofmy nvvii lamentable adver
sity, have forgotten all the world but the
partner of my sorrows.”
Speaking of sentences as ineffectual
for tire prevention of crime, the writer
happily illustrates his text in the follow
ing pom allure of tbeconviets with whom
he was made acquainted on his Introduc
tion to tlm prison, which displays a turn
pit lure of tlic depravity ol the human
heart, when loudened and made obdu
rate, hy familiarizing itself with the vi
ces of the world, tnl asiociilieg itself
w ith '‘hope forsaken.”
“There were eleven convicts in the
room in which I was placed. It was
t" flight, and a dull lamp thri vv its glim
mer over the dieary seclusion, as it stood
upon a gre.-xy t .Me, around which tbr. .*
or four of the convicts s .t in close con
versation. The remainder, were pro
miscuously seated around tlic room f
some upon *i aw In ds, lying on the fli nt,
and others upon (he bare planks. I view
ed them all with a sort of horror, and
not cn'ii<1 v without aft'right. Silence
w a* prest r-ved for a consideablc time.—
They saw flight and austerity in me—).
saw villainy and desperation in them.
One of them, at length addressed mo,
and invited me to sit down upon a bench,
which he politely l anded, and 1 Accor
dingly did so. After interchanging a
few common place civilities, lid inquired
of mo. the period of mv sentence. I tolJ
him seven years. “ O !” replied he,
*• that’s a trifle, my scnience is for ltft*.’ r
Lite! thought I ; and so much unron-»
i t i ll, and so much levity, ami so much
composure ? “ What may have been your
crime” said he, “Fotgery,” I replied.—
‘•In return,” said he, “l must inform
you that they charged me with highway'
robbery.” Highway robbery! said I,
as a thousand horrors shut arrjiss mj*
mind, nod my eves, surcharged with
tears, unconsciously became fixed upon
him! Highway rnhheiv? “Yes,” replied
lie, “ the most manly ciime in the prison.^
I shu.tdeied at the thought of it ; rny
heart sickened within lie; 1 will.drew
liom nit seal, and puccr t,.e floor r. (lec-
ung upon mv sl ocking situation. After
a little while, my ned was shewn me,
by one whom I subsequently found to ha
my lied fellow. It was .,f filthy straw-,
worn nearly iis fino as bran, ly iug in ono
comer of the room. I s it down upon it,
and w as by no means, disposed to he so
ciable. J\ly bed nine seated himself be
side me, and asked me nuinbtil. ss ques
tions, which civility cmnpellc' me to an
swer. He know my crime and sentence,
and unasked, informed me of his own,—
“ it was,” said In* without blushing, and
without shame, “it was Perjury." “A
shocking Rtime indeed,” said 1; “suit
is,” rejoined lie, “ hut I ,<in innocent—I
swore thp truth.” “Then,” l replied,
“you are very unfortunate; public justice
does not requite thr punishment of any
innocent mao.” “ Ymu may remember my
i as. sir,” said he ; “1 wns chatged. with
Siekler, w ith the murder of Sally H -m-
iltou j I turned State’s evidence, and
swoie to the murder against Siekl* r.—
Ho. proved an alibi, and was acquired.
1 was convicted of perjury, for that swear
ing, and heic I am.” Good Git'! at ibis
moment,if my heart strings had been
severed, my anguish ofjleclingjcould not.
have been mote complete. This capped
the climax, llnilyesicrday, as it were, I
had been Ihe is-indate til the most re
spectable in society ; now I lieln id u.y-
sell lhe secluded t ompanion of the Higll-
wayinao, and ihe bed fellow of a tone-
ih rer, who had testified to his own guilt
the one boasting of the manliness of his
ciime, the other priding himself ol fix
innocence, although, that vt ry innocence,

This work, tltongh generally of great
interest, possesses many passages of ele
gant writing, which we should he pleased
to copy, could we do so, without infring
ing on ills rights of the publisher and
uuhur, who are entitled to a different
kind of patronage for their labours.—
Annexed is an appendix, consisting of
biographical nt tices of convicts of a sin
gular character who fell under tiie obser
vation of oar author, while auflnhahitant
of the prison, which is well calculated
to excite the curiosity and awaken tire
sympathies of those w ho have been more
highly favored of lleavcrr, and which
with the whole comprises an interesting
volume.—Throughout, the book is iirter-
rsed with an imony, and pungen sar-
casm, which we arc soiry to notice, as wo
think it does not enhance the value of
the whole, and probably may have a tejr-
denry to lessen its weight in the public
scale, and detract from the confidence
otherwise tine to it. On the whole we
ate of an opinion that it reaches at leas;
mediociily, anil certainly is no disgrace
to our literary character. As most of its
topics are Iola.I, it ts best calculated ler
the meridian ol New Y'ork, where we un
derstand, it has had a rapid sale ; though
it must find flivtrr and a general perusal
in every part of the country. Whilst
reading it, the mind will naturally he led
to sympathize with the author, anti tlic
feulurg heart cannot but larnet t that the
talents he evinces, have not been em
ployed on the side of virtue, and thereby
hav e escaped the ignominy which clouds
them by reason of theif being debasetj
and prostituted.
Judge, or no Judge ?—Parker No ye?,
bomg appointed a supreme judge in N.
Hampshire, in the room of Woodbury,
elected Governor, declines to accept the
office. He is the third person selected
for tiro station wlro has refused it! It is
iiot singular that so much difficulty isex.-
perienced in filling an office of power
and trust, because the pay is loo near to
reward a man of laients. Economy is
one tiring—niggard sordidness another.
Niggardness (says Addison) is no!
good husbandry, nor generosity profu
sion.” Tire domestic maxim should bp
made a national one.
