It is the woman who Is worn out, run down and a sufferer from womanly diseases who naturally dreads the change of life. This is the critical period of woman's life, and the prevalence of womanly diseases makes it the duty of every woman wlio would avoid unnecessary suffer ing to take especial care of herself at this time. The ills which vex so many women at the change of life arc entirely avoided or cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prcnoriptton. It makes weak women strong, and enables the weakest to pass through this trying change with the tranquility of perfect health.

The~Poor Han's .. Friend.. Capital Punishment ment. * Which? AW. Io the article on this subjeot in last week'B Courier the Biblical argument for the affirmative was presented. We feel sure that sound reason and true ex pediency are in harmony with our inter pr?tation of what the Bible teaohes on this subjeot. 1. Death is regarded aa the soverost| ?unishment that can ? be iufiiotod. hough "the wages of sin is death," and all being sinners must die in conse quence of the fall of our first parents, yet all dread to die even a natural death, i and under ordinary circumstances seek I to prolong life to its utmost possible limit. Self-preservation is the first law of nature. AU animated beings, whether rational or irrational, shrink from death. "All that a man hath will he give for his life." The man whose ciroumstancos rendor lifo burdensome will generally avoid suicide, though he may contem plate it. Tho fear of future retribution helps him to endure preseDt ills. The great dramatist represents Hamlet, tho Melancholy Dane, as soliloquizing in the] following strain: 'To be, or not to be, that is tho question, .Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer I The slings and arrows of outrageous for-1 tune. Or to take up arms against a sea of trou bles, And by opposing, ond them-to die, to I sleep, No more-and by a sleep, to say we end The heartaohe and the thousand natural shooks That Mesh is heir to-'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep. To sleep--porhaps to dream-aye there s the rub; For in that sleep what dreams may come j When wo havo shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause. Tbero's the respect, That makes calamity of so long a life. * * . Who would fardels bear To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the droad of something after | death Tho undiscovered country from whoso | bourne No traveler ret m in;, puzzlos the will, And makes us rather bear tho ills we have, , Than fly to others that wo know not of. Thus conscience does mako cowards of | us all." This droad of futuro retribution that doters so many from suicide, doubtless deters morn with murder in their hearts, from committing actual murder. Tho ; process of dying, from hanging, decapi tation, or, under martial law, from shoot ing, or, as in Now York, from electro cution may be nearly painless, but the mont' ;ony that precedes, and tho ig ..lilley that attends, and the disgrace to the victim's name, that follows bis execution, all combino to rendor pun ishment by death the most dreaded and tlio rooBt dreadful that rulers can intliot. Said nu infuriated monster in Now York some years ago, holding an ax over his trembling wife's head, "I would kill you in a moment, if I did not know that I would hang for it." Thousands of ] others, as vile as that wretch, are doubt less deterrod evory year from murder, from tho same consideration. GOODS FROM NE r RETURNED F] STG THE MOST A RESS GOODS, NO'. SEEN IN TI ?

Hopo of pardon would stimulate to murder, if life imprisonment wero substituted for oapital punishment. "Hopo springs eternal in the human breast." Neaiiy every iumato of a State prison, sentenced for a term of years, entertains a hope of pardon before his term expires, and the number roloascd in this manner encourages tho hope. It is no uncommon occurrence wnen a sheriff or his deputy takes a prisoner or two to the penitentiary, to bring back as many, or twioo aa many, pardoned ones. The pardoning power is just as likely to be exercised lu behalf of prisoners uuder a lifo sentence, as in behalf of those whoso term is limited to a period of years. Unless the pardoning power is denied to Qovorn?rs, by future legisla tion, there is uo certainty about prisouers, under suoh a seutenoe, remaining iu prison during life. Tho writer kuew a pardoned murderer, about thirty years ago, who was turned looseupou tho pub lic, af ter w .nln killed a man in a saloon aud was bung for it. Tho spirit of mur der, like any other bad spirit, unless exoroisod by divine powor, grows upon its possessor. He associates with men of like proclivities and temper, and bo is a monaco to Booiety, wherever his lot is cast. Liko the caged lion that snuffs the smell of blood, he wants to kill some one. And, as the lion that kills his keeper or trainer, has to be speedily killed to prevent his killing others, so the murderer, after the proper forms of law have made his guilt perfectly certain, should be .made to yield bis lifo for tho one he has takon, and for the protootiou of society in the future. There was a time in rem.sylvania when highway robbery was punished, like murder, with death. Murders wore moro frequout then thau afterwards, wheo robbory was punished by imprison ment, and murder only by death. From 1780 to 1704, tho average number of mur ders per year was just ono. From 1794 to 1884, a period of forty years, tho aver age number was a fraotion iess than one a year, although the population was four times as groat iu 1834 as it was in 1780. Tho rca. on of this is obvious. Under the former law criminals know that they would be banged for robbory and that if they murdered their victim their pun ishment would bo the same. This em boldened them to murder with the hope of concealing their ci i me, because "dead men toll no tales." That is tho animat ing thought of the ebon brutes that com mit the orime for which so many aro lynched. They know their impoudiug doora if caught, and sinco tho dead toll no tales, they often murder their victims, making themselves doubly deserving of death. 3. Tho reformation of criminals under a lifo sentence would be less certain than under a sentenoe of doath. Tho hopo of pardon would naturally inlluonco the guilty ono to procrastinate ropoutanco and reformation. Solomon said, "be cause sent?, .ico against an ovil work is not executed speedily, therefore, the heart of tho sons of mon is fully sot in thom to do evil." By inforonco wo con clude that an oxooution a short time after tho death sentence would bo moro likely to load to repentance. Tho hopo of pardon, or failing to obtain that, the mSfb W YORK.

But when au execution ia to fol ow the sentence within three monthB the criminal will be muoh more likely to feel tho preciousness of time and the wisdom of preparation for oternity. Many executed persons have professed convention in prison, yet of its genuine ness Ile only who looks at the heart oan judge. The promise of tae Saviour to the penitent thief justifies the belief that some of thom,-nt toast, were sincere and prepared to meet their God. The class of would-be reformers, who wish to see capital punishment abolished, are often visionaries and impraottoables. They place the Bible on the same level with uninspired hooks and acknowledge no higher standard of interpretation than reason. Many of them claim thatanthro poid apes, untold ages before Adam aud Eve appeared, were the progenitors of tho human race. According to thoir theory man was evolved-not created. Developing from the monkey be has rison to what ho is, and is capable of end less perfectibility. Ono pf thes3 wise acres said in a sermon sumo years ago that "if Adam fell, bo felt upward." They are people of wonderful sympathy for sufferers, distant and unseon, while for i hose near at hand and visible their hearts go not out. Before our civil war their hearts bled for the poor slave. After emancipation they yearned for his enfranchisement. Now they yearn for his sham in offioial life, and for prisoners in penitentiaries at hard labor or await ing oxooution for murder. The great pulpit orators of New York and Brook lyn who thundored their Domosthenean eloquonoe at tho Philips of wrong doing away from home and at the horrors of hard labor and Bcanty fare in prisons, left their parishioners needing sympathy to tho ministration of others. - These re formera would have our State prisons enlarged, multiplied, and contain sohool apartments with gymnasiums, leoture halls for scientific lectures and theatri cals, and beautiful play-grounds for exer oiso in tho open air, and nearly all the educaiional equipment of an avorage college. Kxcopt in narao, the reformer's ideal penitentiary would be a collegiate institute. Instead-of being a place for punishing crime it would be for mental culturo. It may bo wise to make some ohanges, but not to the extent of making thoir prison character disappear and thoir inmates forget that they aro pris oners. Some well meaning humanitarians may think tho plan an admirable lone for rofortning criminals, thus making their place of punishment a radiating center of light to tho world to hasten its regene ration. "Yet show I unto you a more excellent way." Begin at the oradlo. "Train up a child in the way ho should go, and when ho is old ho will not depart from il." A child can bo moulded almost at will. A? little tree from tho hursey, though crooked, can be straightened and made to grow erect. But au old tree, hollow in tho center, crooked, moss grown, gnarly and tough, cannot bo bent straight by tho hand of man. When all children are trained to fear Qod and keep His com maud monta, a generation or two will witness pouotentiaries and scaffolds pass ing into disuse for want of viet i mn.

Tho grounds on which tho continuance was caused were the ?v'Soncc of two wit nesses, who the defeh i alleged are of great importance to toe case. One of these witnesses is Captain J. A.

The defence claimod that it could not go to trial in justice to their ollent with out these witnesses and especially as they mulei st nod that Miss Roper would testify to additional threats that were not known to tho defence at the time of tho original-affidavit flied when bail was asked for. Affidavits were then presented to the effect that Captain .White was ill, and that Miss Roper was' in Now York City. The prosecution through Solioitor Thurmond and Colonel Andrew Craw ford argued that the defenoe had not complied with .he ruling of the court and there was not a sufficient showing on whioh to ask for a continuance, ?"*d that the oase should go to trial, li . emit end rd furl her that t he defence shoubi bavo fully developed what the absont witnesses would have tostiflod to.
