POETRY. From the Southern Watchman. MERCY’S APPEAL. BY FINLEY JOHNSON. Oh, never wound a loving heart By words unkindly spoken, Or you may further rend apart The links by sorrow broken. And when their fragments all around, In crumbling ruins lie, No tone of kind and gentle sound Can re-unite the tie. Good, gentle, kind, and loving hearts, Are fragile, brittle things; One word of harshness often starts Sad music from their strings; And, oh, how oft do they vibrate With such a fearful power, As to destroy the hopes of years ■Within a single hour. Then never cast an eye of scorn On those poor souls of sin, ■Whose ignorance and bigotry Have quench’d the light within; For though their hearts are crusted o’er With woe, and sin, and pride, Yet can we win them by kind words, Unto their Saviour’s side. New York. ' !!■».- ■' — B A N EXAMINATION OF THE TESTIMONY OF THE FOUR EVA NaELISTS, BY THE RULES OF EVIDENCE ADMINISTERED IN COURTS OF JUSTICE. BY SIMON GREENLEAF, LL. D. § 39. In the fifti'i place, as to coincidence cf their testimon// with collateral and con tempo/ urteous facte and circumstances. Af ter a witness is dead, and his moral charac ter is forgotten, we can ascertain ibonly by a close inspection of his narrative, compar ing its details with each other, and with co teinporary accounts and collateral facts.— This test is much more accurate than mayV at first be supposed. Every event which, actually transpires, has its appropriate rd lai ion and place in the vast complication circumstances, of which the’affairs of mtlTff consist; it owes its origin events which have preceded it, is intimately con nected with all others which occur at the same time and place, and often with those of r.nrnte regions, and in its turn gives birth to numberless others which succeed. In all this almost inconceivable contexture, and seeming discord, there is-perfect har mony; and w hilethe fact, .which really hap pened, tallies exactly with every other con temporaneous incident, related' to it in the remotest degree, It is pot possible for the wit of man to invent a story, which, if close ly compared with the actual occurrences of the same time and place, may not be shown to be false. II nee it is, that a false witness will not willingly detail any cireuinstances in which his testimony will be open to con tradiction, nor multiply them where therg is danger <>t his being detected by a com parison of them with other accounts, equal ly ciicuinstautial. He will rather deal in general statements and broad assertions; and if he finds it necessary for his purpose to employ names and particular circu'm-' stances in his story, h • will endeavor to in vent such as shall be out of the reach of all opposing proof; and will be the piffst forward and minute in det. ils, where hg, knows that any danger of contradiction ih least to be apprehended. Therefore it is, that variety and niintffeness of detail are usually regarded as certirn tests of sinceri ty, it the story, in the circumstances rela ted, is of a nature capable of easy refuta tion ts it were fills'.:, § 40. The difference, in the detail of cir cumstances, between artful .ff false witness es and those who testify the truth, is wor thy of esp-cial observation. The former are often copious and even profuse in their statements, as far as these may have been previously fabricated, and in relation to the principal matter; but beyond this, all will be reserved and meagre,' from the tear of detection. Every lawyer knows bo.v light ly tne evidence of a non mi-recordo witness is esteemed. The testimony of false wit nesses will not be uniform in its texture, but will bo unequal, unnatural, and incon sistent. Ou the contrary, in thp testimony of true witnesses there is-a visile and striking naturalness of manner, and an tin affected readiness and copiousness in the detail of circumstance, as flhc part of the narrative as anotiyjr, and*pvidentlv without the h ast regard either to the facil ity or difficulty of verification <w detection. It is easier, therefore, to make but the proof of any fact, if proof it may be culled, by suborning one or more false witnesses, to testify directly to the matter in question, than to procure an equal number to testify falsely to such collateral and separate cir cumstances as wili, wi(o ut greater danger cf detection, lead to the same false result. The increased number of wjwiesses to cir cumstances, and the increased number of the circumstances themselves, all tend to increase the probability of detection if the witnesses are false, because thereby the points are multiplied in which their state ments may be compared with each bther, as well as with the truth itself'and in the same proportion is increased the danger of variance and inconsistency. Thus the force vt circumstantial eiiJenca is iJumi to de pend -m th number of particulars Involved i.i the narrative; the difficulty of fabrica ting them all, if false, and the gnat facility of detection ; the nature of the circumstan ces to be compared, and from which the dates and other facts are to be collected ; the intricacy us the comparison ; the num ber >'f the intermediate steps i.i the process of deduction ; and the circuity of the inves tigation. The more largely the narrative partakes of these characters, the further it will be f und removed from all suspicion >f Contrivance or design, and the more pro* soundly the mind will repose on the cotivic t. n of its truth. §4l. The narratives of the sacred wri ters. both Jewish atid Christian, abound in tvtuples of this kind of evidence, the val u- of which is hardly capable of being pr p erly estimated. It does not, as has been a ready remarked, amount to mathemati cal de:n r.-trufun; u>r is this degree of proof justly demaudable in any question of mural conduct. In all human transactions the highest degree of assurance to which we can arrive, short of the evidence of «»ur own senses, is that of pr-liability. The most that can be asserted is, that the B.’.rra tive is more likely to be true than false; and it may be in the highest degree more luely, but still be short of absolute mathe t" atk.il oertu nty. Yet this very prwbabil j y ybe so great as to sat sfy the mind cf the m 'stem:. >us, and enforce the assent of th? most reluctant and unbelieving. If it : sst:c" .is illy satti-fies n-a« -ra 1 le men, in —.’.•ters '"ordinary Vansa it is ail which tlie greatest sceptic has a right to re q > ; tor it is b.\ s-.,eh evidence al-one that our rchts are determined, in the civil tri buna's; and on ho other < rki*iice do they F '■vw.. e'eu ;a caniul eases. Thus where a house had been feloniously broken open with a knife, the blade of which was bro ken and left in the window, and the mutila ted knife itself, the parts perfectly agreeing, was found in the pocket of the accused, who gave no satisfactory explanation of the fact, no reasonable doubt remained of his partic ipation in the crime. And where a murder had been committed by shooting with a pistol, and the prisoner was connected with the transaction by proof that the wadding of the pistol was part of a letter addressed to him, the remainder of which was found upon his person, no juror’s conscience could have reproached him for assenting to the verdict of condemnation. Yet the evidence, in both cases, is but the evidence of circum stances; amounting, it is true, :o the high est degree of probability, but yet not utter ly inconsistent with the innocence of the ' accused. The evidence which we have of the great facts of the Bible history belongs to this class, that is, it is moral evidence; sufficient to satisfy any rational mind, by carrying it to the highest degree of moral certainty. If such evidence will justify the taking away of human life or liberty, in the one case, surely it ought to be deemed sufficient to determine our faith in the oth er. § 42. All that Christianity asks of men on this subject, is, that they would be con sistent with themselves; that they would treat its evidences as they treat the evidence j of other things: and that they would try ' | ar.d judge its actorsand witnesses, as they • | deal with their fellow-men. when testifying . I to human affairs and actions, in human tri i btinals. Let the witnesses be compared | with themselves, with each other, and with / snrrourwling facts arid circumstances; and , ■ let their testimony be sifted, as if it were ■ given in a court of justice, on the side of the ■ adverse party, the witnesses being subject- ' led to a rigorous cross-examination. The ■ : result, it is confident]}*, believed, will be an r undoubting conviction of their integrity, I ability, and truth. In the course of such • an examination, the undesigned coinciden ' cies will multiply upon us at every step in our progress; the probability of the verfc- j ity of the witnesses and of the reality of the | | occurrences which they relate will increase, I I until it acquires, for all practical , tfie value and force of demonstration. **** j i ? § 43. It should bo remembered, that I very littU*>f the literature of their times; arid comwFv has come.ifcn to us; and that ! sources ana tncffkis of corrob orating and explaining their writings are : limited. The contemporary writings of art which have nwih ; ed us, been cw | firm their aecuunts, to reconcile what was apparently contradictory, and supply wffat ; seemed defective or imperfect. We ought therefore to conclude, that if we had Vnore of Xhe sgme light, all other sftnilar dtffieul- ' ties' alwT imperfections In- Ideed they have been rand rapidly tMo,piefore the light of modern J 1 research, c<'ii<wted by ;im n of science in ' our own times.

The essential marks of between true, narratives of facts utftl the I creations of fiction, have already been.ad- i : vertedito. It nan here be added that these attributes oliyjitjl are strikingly apparent throughout tne gospel histories, qnd that the absence of, all the/other# re | marliable. 4 'hg writers allude, for exam ple, to the foisting manners and and to th * circumstances of the times and of their Jntry, with thX utmost minute- i uess of reference. And these references are i never made, nor with "preface an 1* multiplied unit heaped on othei-, um- brought toother, as ■ ititnJmced by design; but thev are sent tercd broad cast and every ■ put of tlib story, and s<iA>iineet themselves ■ with every incident related, .ftt to render i the detection of falsehood inevitable. This • minuteness, to", is not peculiar to anv one i ot the historians, but is ggmmon to them i f all. Though they wrodKt different peri- ■ ods, and without mutiW conc-fl-t, they all , ' alike refer irfCble-.itally to the same state of ■ I affairq a»J tbc: same contemporary and , collateral circumstances. Their testimony in this view, stands on the same ground with that of four witnesses, separably ex- i amine I before diff-rent commissioners. t:p . <sn the sanle interrogatories, aird all advert i ing incidentally to the san}p'circumstances as surrounding and accompanying the prin cipal transaction, to whiehtalone their atten tion is And- it is worthy of ob servation that these circumstances were at I" that time of a pecu&xr character. Hardly a state or kingdom in the world ever expe- i ribneed »>> many vicissitudes in its govern , m.-iit and political relajtidhs, as did Juden. • during the period of the gospel history. It was successively utjler the gov»rnn.< nt lierod the Great, \jf Archvlaus, and of a Roman inagistr.-u?**4t was a kingdom, a tetrarehrtte, and a its laws, mi l the administration of,justice, were all involved in the contusion and un-' certainty naturally to be expected tr itn-re ceiit eonqtpsl.

Pilate scourged Jesus be- ~LI Ll -1 ■■ -I. —— fore he gave him tip to be crucified. We know from ancient authors, that this was a v’ery usual practice among the Romans.— The accounts of an execution generally run in this form: he was stripped, whipped, and beheaded or executed. According to the evangelists, his accusation was written on the top of the cross; and we learn from Suetonius and others, that the crime of the person to be executed was affixed to the in strument of his punishment. According to the evangelists, this accusation was written in three different languages; and we know from Josephus that it was quite common in Jerusalem to have all public advertisements written in this manner. According to the evangelists, Jesus had to bear his cross ; and we know from other sources of infor mation, that this was the constant practice iof these times. According to the evange 'j lists, the body of Jesus was given up to be buried at the request of friends. We know that, unless the criminal was infamous,this was the law or the custom with all Roman governors.” (to be continued.) ♦ £gF = Thought is ever unfolding; a good thinker keeps thinking. —» - and pasSion are racks often used to extort words from us. |xgr“Poverty is, in some countries, mere ly an inability to make one’s mark. pleasure last longest,— We are not fitted to bear long the burden of glTJiit joy. 2-2^ t 'Fhe greatest gluttons are those who feed upon slander.
