Eecrts ara near their final clasping Throbbing:, panting ; Hail I Hail I THE DEATH PENALTY. experteaee of mac kind bas shown the infliction of the death penalty to be a necessity. In Switzer land and in some of the States of oar own country/there ts a strong tendency to tho fotlorstioa of capital punishment where it ?tas been abolished. The u?ort, we believe, to restore it in Maine has(already succeeded during the past ??nter. Toe first effort to change the to imprisonment for in that State in 1876, the wisdom of the people ?ima led thea to return to the old law. It waa shown io & recent hearing that from 182d to 1837, a period when banging was the law, there were bat two murders in the State, and that, while m ?851 there were only tour murders and ten high crimes, in 1880 them were 21 murders and 46 cases of raarrsfaggbter, rape, felonious assaults, 4?. Statistics showed that there was time against persons and less property in Maine than in any State' in the country. So that punishment has shown itself to W aa absolute necessity. lil the Southern States the necessity fer H ia greater. We have to deal with a. class of people to whom imprison m en t ia no punishment. The sojourn for a year or two in thc penitentiary is mere? ly stoked upon as a season of resting, w&ero tho eeaviet is fed and clothed and deeps at wt8, without the coo tin? tai anooyanee of having to make a atraggle for da% sosteoaace. The dis ?gruee nod dishonor attached to con? viction in the ceorts is not regarded as . Hot upon character, nod the returned criminal moves about among his associ? ts ta weft received as he was ho wore the striped clothes at Twee things being true, it soaso punishment must be whkfc will excite fear among ?m heti3eaod reprobates. Without thia, there eouM be so safety of person The chances of before or after trial and the dis? regard for the extreme penalty would aol servo as a che sk if only imprison? ment, sad not death, were that pen? alty. Bat the point we desire to make is with reference to the means of inflict-1, ittg this capital punishment. Hanging by tho Bock is sorely a relic oi bar ba risa*. The guillotine and the rack of Other days are decent and genteel when compared with banging. The fact is that, strangulation in any way would accomplish the same purpose ; Car it caa be shown that of those hung, not ono ia taree dies instantaneously. The sufferer is jost suspended and choked anti!, the supply of oxygen to the longs being ont off, death slowly ensues. The suffering most be intense. Con? sciousness remains almost to the last moment, sad io all that time of from 10 to 30 minutes, the criminal is said lo bo dying. It ie true that the end of all this is ta fulfil the law and inflict death. Tho btv demands death, but act necessarily protracted suffering. This Battering does not atone for the crime-only the death does. Why thea should our boasted civilization ad? mit of such barbarism ? While we ad? mit that capital punishment is a neces? sity, we do not admit that hanging is Me best means of inflicting it. It to as tha? methods should be to clothe the affair in awful mystery and horror. Let the prisoner ?ie unseen except by a few who shall net ss witnesses to testify to his death, j Let each one be carried to Columbia, and there nader the influence of rapid asphyxiation or from the instantaneous shock of some powerful galvanic bat tor/, lot him meet his death. Thus tho law ?ill be satisfied ; tbe prisoner will die and satisfy the demands of jus? tice, while the barbarism and cruelty of protracted death will be remedied. If there be any philanthropic reformer who if casting about for tome great measure to work upon, we have an idea that hort it an open fi*ld for him-a inti ia which great good moy beao ?oma?mVod, and one ia which, ia oar charity ? a calm, t ^spears to the Dead Impulses. There are men who remember that they were once convicted of sin ; and they say, 'I think I was honest at that time, although I was a fool ; but I have got bravely over that, and I never am troubled now.' Why, there are men who could sit under Mount Sinai to-day and no more feel the majesty and au? thority of that grand phenomenal development than the calf at the bottom of it. They are dead, dead. It is not a question of orthodoxy or heterodoxy ; it is not a question of Christianity or paganism ? it is a psy? chological question, and a personal one, ; that comes to every man ; 'What has life done, and what is life doing for me ?' To every young man and mai? den it is a question s 'Kow much is there unawakened in me ? How much ts there in me of that which I perceive in other people that I meet, or that I j read of, who restrain their feeliogs and control their conduct so as to make their life beautiful?* Eave you any such instincts or long? ings as they have ? How much is there of that in you which lifts men far above the animal life SD that they long for the spiritual life ? Are you discontented with yourself? Do you feel that you are living on a low, vul? gar beggarly plane? What is the tendency of yonr life ?" - What have you that feeds tbe intellect? What have you that feeds imagination-the whole realm of poetic beauty ? What have you that is feeding the morai sense, and that makes right more and more attractive to you ? Do you live to get along, to shuffle out of one day into another, to get decent clothes, to get enough to eat and drink, and to be contented, with no aim, no ambition, no hunger and thirst after righteous? ness? Ob, what a piteous sight it is to see amiable, milk-and-water men-Chris? tians that bave no impulse, no spring, so fervor ! Nothiog but the grace of God can develop in them buds and blossoms and fruits. 'A wake P says the voice of inspiration : .Christ shall give thee light and life ;' and it is in the power of the Hely Spirit to act even on one of these starchy natures, low, contented with anything that comes along, with no yeast in them, dead, and worse than dead-?our.. There is resurrection for Bach. There is power that eau lift them Happy Mothers. I might say, rather, cheerful moth? ers, but I do not, because there is no real sunshiny cheerfulness possible without happiness io the heart. And there may be happiness, if tbs- heart be rigblty placed and stroo g in love and faith sven when the outlook in life is dark md the clouds upon the path are heavy. There may be little money in the purse. Fhere may be a dear one lying pallid >n the couch and fading by degrees. There may be a narrow grave in the cemetery and a vacant seat at the table. But yet, my sister, if Christ be your Friend, abiding with you and holding sst your hand, there may be a strange gladness mingled with your sorrow. We all want our little children to se happy. Now, the happiest children ire those who have happy mothers. The yoong life, which which grows up n the shadow of a discontented, re? lining and gloomy mother, is like a plant unwatered by kindly dews. It is ipt to be dwarfed and stunted. So, sven when things are crooked and :empta!ions to ungentleness and un? happiness come, let the mother, for her ions' and daughters' sake, try to be isppy.-Margaret E. Sang&ter. How It Was. One of the instructive anecdotes now m tbe rounds is this : 'A lady and ber daughter were on their way home from church, when the child said good? bye to a poorly dressed little girl. 'How did you know her.' inquired the mother. 'Why, you see, mamma, she carno into onr Sabbath-school alone, and I made a place for her on my seat, and I smiled and she smiled, and then we were acquainted.* ' It did them both good. The child who found a a friend willing to share the seat with her bad a better opinion of church-go iug people, while the one who extend? ed the kindness was blessed with the thought of having done a generous deed to one who needed it. A Sabbath school should be full of smiles. There is no one rightly filling his place in it if he is not cultivating an open countenance and showing himself hospitable towards the hearts that crave bis help and sym? pathy. Grains. Never open the door to a little vice lest a great one come in. People swear because they know their words are worthless. A memory well stored with Scripture and sanctified by grace is a good libra? ry The remark made by Dr. Newman, quoted in the New York Obsrrver of April 26th, is not original with bim. D'Israeli, when taunted as to his being a Jew, replied : 'One-half of the world worships a Jewess, the other half wor? ships her son.' We ought to regard this life as a great preparatory school, in which we are getting ready to learn. Our Heav? enly Father has seen fit, in his wisdom, , to limit our knowledge here. Wc are evidently in a preparatory stage of our spiritual life. But we may console ourselves with the thought that the more faithful, the more humble thc more teachable, we are here in the pre? paratory school, the higher will be our starting-point when we are transferred to the great university of beaven. 'It doth not yet appear what we shall be ; but we know that when He shall ap? pear we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.1 A correspondent of the Alabama Baptist favors that paper with an article of about one and two-thirds columns on 'Who was Melcbizedek ?' Some years ago, Rev. James Fife was preaching in a protracted meeting. One day, during the 'intermission,' a man ap? proached Bro. Fife and said : Mr. Fife, I wish to have some private con? versation with you.' They retired to a quiet place io the woods, and the ! preacher thought that an inquirer, in- j teres ted about his soul's salvation, was about to ask what he must do to be saved, wheo, the map, with DO small anxiety depicted io bis countenance, ?aid : Mr. Fife, I want you to tell me W?fflM Disease is an effect, not a cause. Its origin is within ; its manifestations without. Hence, to cure the the disease the cause must be re? moved, and in no other way can a cure ever be effected. . WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE is established on just this principle. It realizes that 95 Per Cent. of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys aad liver, and it strikes at once at the root of the difficulty. The elements of which it is composed act directly upon these great organs, bo tb as a food and restorer, and, by placing them in a healthy condition, ?rive disease and pain from the system. Fer the innumerable troubles c&nsed by un? healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs; j for the*distiessing Disorders of Women; for j Malaria, and for physical derangements gen? erally, this great remedy has no equal.
