AUGUSTA, GEO. THURSDAY. JANUARY 17, IS2S. CONFESSIONS OF AN UNEXECUTED FEMICIDE. A deeply affecting nana'ive, under ibe above title has just issued from the Gl is- pow press. It is declared ro he “ no fic tion.” Ft is published according to the will of “William M. Eiq. of the county of Stirling, Scotland,” fur the purpose of deterritjg others “ from the commission of a similar sin, by the thought, thai if they escape the punishment of the law, they are sure to meet with that of a racked and harrased conscience,” The Confessions tie powerfully written and seldom have we read a more touching narrative than that which s contained in the work before us. We insert an extract from the first part of the Confessions : “ Twenty-year*, and the vision still haunts,nie ! Yes, ir is twenty years since j I perpetrated th it crime vviiicit has poison- i si| od mv existence, & thrown over it a cloud of unutterable sorrow. All other crimes may sleep, but iniquity like mine never can. The worm that dies not preys up on mv heart: I am the victim of remorse. Mv house stood in the midst of a plan tation of elm and pine. I is situation was considered romantic by those who had an eye for the beauties of nature, but such I never had. It was a large isolated build ing, white and airy in its appearance, and decorated in front with a portico offourl • *- nic pillars. Before the dour was a plot of preen ground, bordered wiih flowers, and in the centre of this a fountain of clear water. Behind the mansion house thee was a spacious garden, and about fifty yards to the right flowed a little river, murmuring among rocks, and shaded over by bowers of the birch and rle-simt tree. Few places were so retired and beauti ful!, and here, if mv miserable tone of mi id had permitted, I must have been happy. I had no companion but an onlv sister, and Heaven assuredly never forin- e i i w i beings so completely different as we. Poor Eliza, she was every tiling that is amiable-in woman. Fair, b'-au-i- fully proportioned, and graceful ut bet movements, beyond even the most gifted oilier sex ; her light and ait v form, lie: blue, deep Hue eye ; her lio ever crossed with smiles, and Iter complexion 'dear as heaven itself. Of all these things I c mid speak, but it avails not* They aregotie, and nothing save dieir it-membrance remains behind. Memory may do much to hallow even the di-inest beamy, and imagination may touch with more delicate hues what flip former brings up from die depths of time, but dieir fairy power were useless bore. My sister had a form and a ntind which fancy never excelled, even ill her brightest dreams. Strange to say, she loved me. I say strange, for what In* irt but that of an an gel could hear affection towards a being So malignant ; so horribly wicked as I; l can now recall how harshly 1 returned ail her little acts of kindness. She would trv, by every art, to bring from me some deed of tenderness. She would smile, and come out with some mirthful story.— Site would sit down before me, and throw her delicate arms around my neck in a mood ofgaiety and love. She would flat ter me, and watch over mv concerns, and anticipate mv wishes, but all in vain. My ungrateful heart refused to acknowledge her attentions ; hei fondness became patn- ful to me, and I repulsed her. N >r when I was stretched on a bed of sickness did her tenderness abate. When the burning fever rioted in my veins, and but a step iav between nne and eternity attended me with more titan a care. Night after night she sat watching over mv couch. I have seen her, when she little thought I so remarked, weeping in my dimly illuminated chamber ; and raisin every oc caston. It sheloved she expressed in bright and undisguised lan guage the emotions of her soul.— Mary was not more lovely, fi r that was impossible, but she was evidently a beotg of profounder and intenser feelings. Her siiirit was more full of pathos. Her fer vour was not so easily excited, but when once aroused it flowed in deeper channels, ind its influence upon all the passions was more striking and irresitibie. I know not how it was, but this pure- minded and intellectual girl conceived for me a strong affection. God knows, there was little in mv society to attract the love of auyjine, and above all of such as she, I never did her an act of kind ness. I scarcely ever spoke to her with common civilty ; vet strange to say, I un knowingly gained her heart, and she loved me at last as if I had been tits nintit de serving object upon earth. fl<*w my gro velling soul came to-be invested with such power, remains a problem which I have never been able to c olve. In all other respects the mind of Mary was pure and heavenly. That spirit so full of poetry and romance, tl at mild enthusiastic spirit, conversant onlv with lofty thoughts, and whose existence had passed in a of world fancy and feeling, how did it descend from its ltieii estate to seek com panionship with a b .se earth-born heart like min<* ? In this only she e red; in Ips onlv she showed that tinge of humani ty which clings to all below. Perhaps might have been influenced bv her affection for my sis<er.—Be that as it may, [ saw her feelings, and. with the tnie vil lainy of mv nature, resolved to take ad vantage of thorn. It would be sickening to relate all the schemes I put hi practice to ruin the virtue of that nnforiunu e girl. She loved mo to distraction, and I but too well succeeded. Bat how was my poor hard conquest gained ? By a pro ceeding,the iniquity of wh clt, no language can characterise. [ invoked the Most 1 1 igh to witness that mv fuiuie intentions wore honorable ; and swore in the name of all that is sacred to make her m v own: I never intended to keep my promise.— What wore oaths to mo? What were broken hearts and ruined hopes to one who looked upon virtue and honor as bau bles, and whose polluted soul seemed born for the atmosphere of the blackest iniquity ! Time rolled on, and the state of Marv became apparent, but still I never feb re morse. I looked on unmoved at the ruin T had eff-etpd ; and when the unsuspect ing victim rpqu red he performance of tin vows, slit* was answered with a c ult *mp- tnous sneer. Her spirit, fro n this moment fade I, utterly away. She felt hat she had been betrayed, and saw the dreadful orecipice on which she stood. H id I been anv tiling else but a villain ; had one spark of generous feeling still animate ! mv bosom, I must h ive pitied the misera ble girl; hut compassion was unhupnilv a feeling to which I had ever been a stranger, and I looked on’the wreck of beauty with savage indifference. Eliza’s tender heart was moved, and she saw her companion with other eyes. She did not, with die nrude-like bat ban y of many other sex, cast off diis-eiring sis ter. She saw that she had boon led estray, and knfiw, tli.it although in the eves of the world she was a lost and a worthless thing yet she was not to be abandoned to mise ry and neglect. So far front turning away trom this object of distress, she pressed her to her bosom ; nor did she consider herself dishonored irt so doing. Her pure heart fold her that Mary was innocent, and what hid occurred was a misfortune rather than a crime. She solaced her in the midst of her misery, and tried to sus tain her broken heart, with the hope that I might one day repair thp injury I had done, and restore her, blameless and un blemished, to society. Nor did she stop here, f >r <>n her knees-she conjured me as I valued the welfare of a wretched crea- tuie; as I valued the honor of oui house; as I valued my own e ernal happiness, to render that tardy justice which uprightness and vtrtue demanded. The appeal was he ' eloquent as beauty and affliction could mother's | 'D ike it ; but it was in vain., I heard it with contempt. Ab uit this tint a young lady of consid erable fortune came to reside in our part of the couniry. She was rich, and I con es her fair hands to Heaven in sup- j sidered that now or never had an oppor plication tor my recovery- And when I did recover, who can paint the joy that lighted up her beautiful countenance !— All saw it with delight save one, and that was her wretched and ungrateful brother. She had a friend named Mary Elhston, also a beautiful girl. Their friendship had commenced in childhood, and their souls were knit closer by succeeding years.— Mary lived with us, for she was an orphan undoing originally of a respectable but unfortunate family, mv father gladly adop ted her as a companion to his daughter. She was tall and exquisively made, and ail her movements were full offemale dig nity. Her form wanted the richness and voluptuous swells of Eliza's, but it was more airy, and, if possible, more graceful). 2M V lister's 'omplexton had the brightness And bloom of northern beauty. Her yel low hair waved like streaks of sunshine over her temples, and her blue eves, deep And lucid as the sapphire,were full of ani mation and mirth of soul. Mary bad more of the Italian cast in her countenance, which was of a darker and warmer hue.— Her hair was black and shining, and her eyes, of the same complexion, were full of melancholy. Never were two lovelier beings associated together undpr the same goof. Eliza was all affection, and smiles, inpocensa, g>ud she sfaowid theta tunity occurred of gratifying mv passion wiih the semblance of virtup, as the ashes «f the dead are covered with flowers, and ctawled, like the viper, under cover, the better to entrap my prey. That no evil report might injure my re putation tilt that time, I had Mary sent * ff about ten miles to a small country house on the hanks of the Forth. The e the sorrows of that unhappy girl only be came more pungent ; site felt the misery of 1 neliness. Deprived of my sisier’s so ciety and mine ; and the last, stiangeto sav, sh‘* prized above all other; her heart became mure desolate and broken. Site wrote me a letter ; the paper was stained with tears, arid evert word breathed un utterable affection. It implored me to take compassion on her wretched state, and fulfil the promise I had so solemnly made; “ I know that yon* are address ing another, but if she has the spir it of a woman, never will she lis en to you after what yon have done to me.” Such were the condoling lines of her letter, and they filed me to revenge.— Suspicion lowered upon my heart, and the thought came upon me that they were but the prelude of a discovery. “ And must my pin in he thus thwarted by that wretch ed git I? Must a fortune be torn away trom my grasp? Shall site unveil to my affianced bride what for a lime must te- niain in darkness; and for what ? to ruin me; to blast mv dearest prospects with out henefi ling herself?” The evil pas- si ns were stirred up within me ; hell boiled in mv besom, am) f was wrought to an erstarv of madness. F >r half a dav l remained in this tumult of passion.— Towards evening it ceased to exhibit it self on the outer man, hut raged within more intensely than ever. Y<‘s, I remember it «■■]). This dav and twenty years have rolled nwav, I sat bv the fire moodv and distracted, and m d taring, apparently, sump v i dent deed. My sister sat opposite to me. Site was empl ved at her needle, but while she sewed, her blue eyes streamed with tears, and ever and amt in she c;»s» at me ’ni,k- of the deepest affliction. ‘ Mv dear bro ber, has any tiling occurred to dis’ress you?’ I thundered on ! , ‘silence, distract me not,’ in a voice which made her start back ward with terror ; and, striking my hand violently against mv burning forehead, I left the room and mounted up stairs to mv bed chamber. A small Highland dn k iiting over the mantiepiece. It has been in fbe family for ages. I put it in mv pocket, almost unknowing wh.at 1 did, and descended with portentous speed. Eliza met me as f was going out. She put her slender arm in mine, and requested me, w: h a voice of melting tenderness, to stnv at home, for that I was evidently very unwell. With brutal violence I pushed her aside and rushed into the oppn air. The evening was fair, beautifully fair. The sun was sinking down gloriously, and mellowing nature over with his last de parting* beams; but I remember it not. F saw nothing; I lmard nothing. A tu mult was in mv Iipart ; mv ears were stunned, and I hurried over the earth with reckless furv. N’ght came down, and I found mvself at Jim’s door. I entered but she was not wi’h ; n. She had gone out to walk bv the banks of the Forth. I wen to find her. Her lovely and in teresting form was seamd upon a rock which overlooked thp stream. WltPti I came up, she was in tears ; but she threw her arms around me, and ki sod me with unspeakable fondness. How rotrt intic was 'he scene ! O liovv unfit for a deed of villany! The moon was no in thp vault of heaven.—The firmament was silvered over with her chaste beams, and the light of the planets dissolved and lost in a flood of pale celestial glory*. One solitary star twinkled by her side. .4nd how beauti fully were the rays reflected bv the stream that murmured amid its rocky* channel, and gave forth a melancholy music, which was the onlv sound that disturbed the un broken calm of nature ? Could crime linger here? Could vice pollute such a scene with its accursed presence ? Base, cruel,treacherous was the deed. Was there no bolt of heaven to consume mv coward heart ? While she clung to mv bosom and called me her own—while her deep melting eyes were thrown so expressively on mv savage countenance—ves the deed was then done—done at a moment when anv heart, but that of a demon, rvouid have been disarmed. I drew slowly the dagger from my pocket, and (my spirits shudder for money. My situation in life yvas well w ^ e * ' slate it) stabbed her in the back! A shriek and she fell to the earth—* Oh ! do not destroy me ! William, William, that yvas a cruel stroke. Spare me—do not kill me, do not kill my noor unborn babe 1’ She clung to my knees, but I spurned her away, and she again felt ex hausted. There was no time to be lost. I laid violent hands upou her and pitched her over the rock. I heard her rustling among the branches which opposed a fee ble resistance to her fall, and then a dash among the waters, and a feeble cry ; and all was silent.'* known, and 1 was cordially received as a visitor iuto her mother's house. I endea- voted to make myself as agreeable as pos sible, and in a short time had the satisfac tion of thinking that I was listened to with not an unfavorable ear. There was only one bar that stood in the way, and this was Mary Elliston. Mv faith was plighted to her in the most solemn man ner ; and I well knew chat if this reached the ears of my new mistress, my pros pects in that quarter were at an end. Be sides, Mary was now in that state that rendered her misfortune palpable to all eyes. No one as yet knew the author of her misery, but he could not remain con cealed much longer ; and his name once mentioned would sink him to infamy and degradation. I cared little for exposure, on the score of honor or virtue, but F dreaded on that of self-interest. L>et me get possession of my object ; let hei wealth be once fairly secured in my iron hand; and my shame, for aught I cared, might be trumpetted to the uttermost ends of the earth. But till then—till that de cisive, that irrev<*knble moment, it behov ed that all should wear the aspect of integ rity ; that all should run smooth as the uorufod sea. I covered tay hypocrisy T he forget me no i—the amulet. (superb London publications,) and PHI LOSOPHY IN SPORT, just received and for sale at ELY’S Book store.
