Genesis 4:10 And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries to me from the ground. ! — How strangely deeds of blood are disclosed! Two French merchants, relates Clarke, were travelling to a fair, and, while passing through a wood, one of them murdered the other, and robbed him of his money. After burying him to prevent discovery, he proceeded on his journey; but the murdered man's dog remained behind. His howling attracted passers-by, who were led to search the spot. The fair being ended, they watched the return of the merchants; and the murderer no sooner made his appearance than the dog sprung furiously upon him. "Be sure your sin will find you out." How terribly was this exemplified in the case of Eugene Aram, whose very conscience at last unfolded the tale: —He told how murderers walk the earth Beneath the curse of Cain, With crimson clouds before their eyes, And flames about their brain.
