to prove the majesty of the laws, when,
at their bidding human being can be
dragged to a public place, and there
killed before the eyes Of thousands OF
his fellow creatures, without the slight
est resistance. But a private exccu-
ton cannot claim evcu this poor merit.
II shuns the public gaze, and, assassin
like, takes AN opportunity to strike its
victim where none can hear bis dying
groan or witness his expiring agony.
We do not believe that secret punish
ment has ever been permitted in any
country claiming to be free, except our
own, and precedent for this law Of
Connecticut is only to be found in the
acts of the ''Council Of Three" of Ven
ice, and the "Holy Inquisition" of
Spain. Let US therefore give the State
of Connecticut all due credit for her
praise-worthy conduct in following
such illustrious examples; but let not
the august tribunals we have mention
cd be robbed of their rightful glory, by
giving 10 the legislators of that State,
the honor of originating this precious
system of legal Observation-Disclosures

at by capital punishment is to make q
public example, for the purpose oil de-
terring those who witness an execution
from the commission of crimes similar
to those for which the suffering culprl

MAY-nAY AND IT'S QUEENS.

We will thank our friend Guillord,
so to arrange his Almanac for 1889, as
to give us little sunshine on mex. May
day, instead of the heavy rains with
which he drenchcd us on the present.
All the little girls and boys of the CT
ty, and not few of the big ones too,
had set their hearts on a ramble to the
hills on Tuesday last, for the purpose
of cropping wild flowers and catching
young butterflies, with which to deck
the coronations ofour youthful Queens:
but alas! the Almanac said, ''Look out
for some kind Of ,uedther about This tinss,"
and sure enough it rained the live long
day. However, as our quondam friend
of--College used to say, the imper-
ial festivities of the day were not 10 be
''S9unched" by shower Of rain. lfthe
thrones and canopies for the corona
tons could no: he reared beneath the
boughs Of the blooming Buckeyes, they
at lcass arose in flowing mlgniticance
in the halls ofthc city. We have not
heard the exact number Of the Queens
of May who were crowned on this JOY
Gus occasion, bu! VIC are told of three
Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary, and
Queen Laura, all bright and beautiful
who arc now swaying their sceptrcs of
love and flowers, with a grace that
might we'll become Queen Victoria.

forthwith; and, if we can obtain some

this grand fte. they shall be served up

AN ITALIAN SONG.

Dear is my little native vale,
The ring dove builds and murmurs there
Close by my cot she tells her tale
To every passing villager;
The squirril leaps from tree to tree,
And shells his nut at liberty.
In orange.grovcs and myrtle bowers,
That breathe a gale Of fragrance round,
charm the fairy.footed hours
With my loved lute's romantic sound;
Or crowns of living laurel weave,
For those that win the race at eve.
The shepherds horn at break of day
The ballet danced in twilight glade,
The canzonet and roundelay
Sung in the silent greenwood shade;
These simple joys, that never fail,
Shall bind me tony native vale.
