know myself, I would never undergo
one!--NOR WILL I." When that which I have written shall be read--other
hopes and fears--other punishments, perchance, than man can awaken or
inflict--will await me. My _first_ crime--my _first_ revenge,

tell, when they speak of the murderer and SUICIDE,
JAMES MORLEY.
There is little doubt that scarcely a moment intervened between his
writing his name, and placing the pistol to his heart; for when he was
discovered, the pen was lying on the paper, as if it had been laid down
only for an instant.
