Capital punishment. Immediately aftor the war of ihe revolution, several dignitaries were conversing about the best way of inflicting capital punishment in the young republic. One thought that shooting was the most merciful way of winding up a fellow-creature's sublunary concerns; another preferred hanging; and the third mentioned the axe. When the fourth was called upon for his opinion, he proposed filling the criminal's pockets with continental money, and letting him run, as he would then be sure to starve to death - Sat. Cour. THE CONSUMPTION CURF.D! The Cincinnati Daily news says, "A Thompsonian doctor having lost a patient, sent his remains to his friends in the country, some hundred or so miles distant; and immediately advertised in the papers that "a man came to him in the last stages of the consumption, and was made well enough in three days to perform a journey of a hundred and fifty miles to visit his friends."

From Heath's Book of Beauty. Till: PARTING. BY MISS CAMILLA T0ULMINThey parted not as lovers part With tearful eyes and throbbing heart; With passionate words, that seem too weak To utter half the soul would speak: Somcthirg 'twixt anger and disdain, - grief too haughty to complain Mingled in looks all sad and chill, With words more sad and chilling still And prido was on her lip and brow, And on her checks a fever glow; And con-cious light that doth impart Too stern a freezing to the heart. All these forbade the words that might Have changed his anguish to delight; For words of truth, in accents sweet, Would vet have brought him to zt feet. Hut no she knew not ofa lovo That mero suspicion thus could move; Twa not for her to bind the chain That he had riven thus in twain. Poor, simple girl perchance she deemed Man's blighted love like hers then seemed; That he would turn, and sue, and kneel, For what her lips might still reveal. She knew not that man's spirits riso Superior to such destinies; Some flowers from olFhis path it shakes 'Tii woman's heart alone that breaks! Fran the Dtlroit Daily Advertiser. THE LORE OF LOVE. ET LT. a . W. TATTEN, t ? . AHMY. Mother! what meant the Sybil when She Lid mc shun the gaze of men, And said, while weeping 'neath the yew, "Beware the hour of evening dew ?" The eye of youth is sweet to see, Itcannct lurk with harm for me, And soft the eve with sunset red, The vesper hour 1 may dread '. Such warning dark,0 daughter young, Flows not alone from Sybil tongue: The strongest spell in passion's power Is that which binds the vesper hour; And eyes w hich look with softest shalo Are those which turn on love betrayed. And is it thus? then, mother w hy I'oth lwautcous crimf on deck the sky And glances swim with azure light, If full of danger, death and blight ? Is maiden's heait u thing to grieve, Thai hope muy mock and love deceive Oh! daughter fair, co first explain

Why floats the clouds and fall the rain? With deep research then seek to know Why green the leaf and white the snow? And last of all discover w hy lloth joy and giitf should heave the sigh? When these by reason's rule ye prove, Then may ye learn the lore of love. How th'u world is given to lying. Globe. Blair thinks all men given to lying. It is impossible for any one man to know the whole world, though it is very possible for a man to know himself.

EARLY DISADVANTAGES. I learnt d grammar,' says William Cobbett, w hen 1 w as a private soldier on the pay of sixpence a day. The edge of my berth, or that of my guard bed, was my scat to study in; my knapsack was my book-ca-e, and a bit of board lying in my lap was

my writiug table. I had no money to purchase can-! die or oil; in winter time it was rarely that 1 could get any light but of the fire, and only my turn even of that. To buy a pen or piece of paper I was compelled to forego some portion of food, though in a atate of half-starvation. I had no moment of time that I could call my own; and 1 had to read and write amidst tho talking, laughing, singing, whistling, and bawling, of at least half a score of tho

mosi thoughtless of men; and that too in the hours

of their freedom from all control. And 1 say, if I, under circumstances like these, could encounter and
