Hut hecnu'C ?nmr parlial liPr.rfi is someimcs derived from what h popularly slyvA education, docs that alTord us cause for nuratnlatioti? ai d not rather for inquiry

t Fr inquiry zee say; and that too the most valuable the most necessary, the most in-

fertinK inquiry in which man can nga$re: the ii.quiry how the future possessors ai d governors of this world may learn to profit of its vast c apabilities, and to draw unmixed comfort and pleasure from the numerous sources ol enjoy ment it affords. Ifany pecuniary tax deprive us of one twentieth part the advantages which wo lose by the tax of ignoiance, wc should cry shame on the legl iture that imposed it, and conceive ourselves to be thcmot illumed, oppressed people on earth. But is the evil less great and the oppression less lamentable, because they do not happen to be indicted by an act of legislation? Are

j we content to injure and oppress our own

children, because we seem to do so indirectly only ? or becaufe after the injury is done, it appears to be of their own incurring, and not, as it i9 in fact, of our causing ihiough our ignorance? We need not say that we were gratified to find our Governor recommending to the attention of the state legislature the means

of gradually remiting this enormous and

whole, women! yes, gracious heaven! jj soft delicate, tender-hrarted fc.-n.ilt?, who j v"V? would faint at tne ki'l'irg of a chicken, ;

went tifiten or twenty miles to sec a fellow

creature put to death! Wives went with their husbands, sweethearts with their !ov ers? What a spectacle! On the back ground, what a picture was the unhappy victim, in the last agony of parting life; on the foreground, were lovers, cooing like doves.

THe who!e scene as painters say. was in rx- j

cedent keeping. For what couM be more oron-r, than for those whose souls were

'united in the closest bonds of affection, to 'go twenty miles to witness the severing of

a soul from a body! If it were solely a matter of curiosity to witness the parade of diveiting a human being of life, or to nee how a miserable: wretch looks, when launching into eternity under the hands of an executioner, it would perhaps be less censurable. But a great part of the spectators, on such an occasion

) are those who have witnessed every execution within forty miles of them since their i memory; and who would almost as soon ! miss of going to heaven, as to a hanging.

times, for no other purpose than to read of j murders, rapes, tri.ila, sentences of depth,

THE HANGING. The demorahzii.g tr-et c f public executions was fully exemplified in this county

la-t week. Never, as w -e are inform tl, !

was there so great a ciebau h. Cattle shows, musters, sleigh-rides, all the public gatherings, and diu ken bouts, put together, could not equal it. There was a human be ing to b pui to death, atid something extraordinarv must be done to express their joy and satisfaction on the interesing occasion. An extra cup uiut be taken, a double portion of ardent poison mut be swallowed, to enable the rioters and debauchee to maintain the proper disregard to all fee ling and decency . What a group appeared at Lenox! Theic were high (not high minded) and low, rich, and poor, old men and young, hlac k and white, and all the intervening shades of cc lour; the fanner, the mechan

ic, the merchant, the labourer, gentleman,

idler and the student men of all profes

ions and employments, as well as tho

by a knowledge of t ie woild much more j without tmplouiieiit and to crown the than by the wisdom of the school-.

Jewels. A Mmdarin who took much pride in appearing with a number of jewels on every part of his robe was once accosted by an old sly Bonze, who followi d him through several streets, and bowing often to the ground, thank d hirn for his jewels. "What does the man mean," cried the mandarin. ''Friend, I never gave thee any of my jewels." "No," replied the other, "hut nu have let me look at them, and that is all the use y ou can make of them y ourself. So there is nodiiierence

between us except that you have the trou
