DIR. II. L. piper's Lecture. &c.
Inadvertently we neglected to mention oar
last number, the lecture delivered by our friend
DIR. Piper, at the Town Hall, on the evening
2lst ult. We advert to it now because we feel
assured that the subject of the lecture is one
winch should not be suffered to pass unnoticed By
the moral and rejecting part of the community !;
and especially those who occupy high and res.
ponsible connection, as parents and guardians Of
youth. The health, longevity, happiness ana
prosperity of communities may be very well judg-
morality prevails, there likewise will be found
dease premature death, wretchedness and pow
erty in proportOnate ratio. Now, though we were
unprepared to learn the unlimited extent which
the evils complained of by the lecturer, prevails
in Society at large-we are, nevertheless, not
sanguine, that his statements in the aggregate are
incorrect. Iftrue, what picture for the moraist
to contemplate God and humanity forbid, say
we, that the nionstrous nature and evils 81 prev
aent Secret vice, should continue 10 cut down in
the flower Of youth the most lovely and promis-
ing portion of the human family Of either sex
who, but for this alarming ind lmcntable
frailty, alas were permitted to reach green old
age, the honors and appreciation Of useful life.
the smiles of an invlola.e conscience, and the
the hopes of higher and better reward.
But we shall not enlarge upon our present re
marks of DR.. Piper's able, honorable and philan-
thropic discourse lie has treated his suhjec. with
giant intellect, -such only as sincere Christian
spirit, and an ardent love OF humanity could have
dictated. We feel 1t duty, however, to urge
upon those most deeply interested in the subject
of the evils alluded to- and SO ably discussed by
Dr. Piper, to arouse from their lethargic state,
and with full energy of purpose commensurate
with the duly required Of them, 10 crush the by
ORA monster in his sccrst abuses it Is too late.
While speaking of the DR. : lecture, we have a
few words to say upon The disease called Hernia
or rupture, which we are happy to learn IS sue
cessfuly cured by him in all cases, Strange as
it may appear the belief is quite common that Her
MIA or Rupture is incurable malady. True, il
may be so occasionally; but this can only be the
case in the hands of i'm pudent and ignorant en-
prices. We are induced TO believe, and our belief
is fortified by the views entertained by the late Sir
Ashley Cooper, that in the hands of a skilful an.
atomst and surgeon-one who understands the
the mechanical treatment, and the manner of APP
plying it, this disease admits Of an easy and pos
tive cure. These qualifications Dr.. Piper pos
sesses in an eminent degree. His treatment, is al
once judicious, scientific and efficient and we
believe affords general stiSfactioa. We have seen

During the trial confessed they the person
aho rob'd the Nobleman and as proof told where
the Jewels &c. could be found another case of
the kind but II ore dreadful to think of occurred
in a city in the north of Germany-where four
persons were arrested and Executed for having
been concerned IN robbing G3l churches ard
committing 20 murders. Unfortunately pre-
vious . their arrest the Judges deceived by prob-
abilities and peuured witness, had condemned and
Executed guilty Of the above crimes ll9 per-
ons,among them 3 priests, Is Sacrstans, 80 Lay
men, and women; the Journalist very justly calls
them Judicial murders.-In view ofthe above and
they not isolated cases, would not any person
be led to think, if not to say that there was
doubt in regard to the business ofcapital punish
ment Would it not be bet,erfor communities and
for the individuals TO have the punishment of
Imprisonment for the life Would not the jury CT
tener pass sentence against the person arrested
than they do. AS our law now is, it is life OK
dea,h-and who does not feel to shuddar-when
he thinks that he may be cal led to pass sentence
of death upon his fellow man. No man when he
commits murder does it openly, except in du-
els and some few other cases of sudden burst Of
passions and OF course he expects TO get cear even
it he is suspected and arrested lie knows that
less positive proof can be made out against him,
it will not be likely to get a jury who will con-
dem him, and we knows it too w know the old
aiaee, st is better for one guilty person to 60
free than for an innocent one to suffer" But sup
pose the punishment to be Imprisonment for life,
the suspected person would than feel that although
he may not be detected, yet if he should be, the
chance ofhis being convicted greater-for when
his cas- comes before the jury if there is not SO
strong proof as they would require in the case of
capital punishment, yet they may feel justified
in passing sentence upon the man, for if he IS in
nocent, there is opportunity for himself or
friends 20 prove his innocence, or as inthe cases
before referred TO, some other person may even
tsally foully convicted. and then the man has his
liberty he may 60 forth into the world with full
assurance that the charge was false-not that
he feel sless guilty thar 5e!ore-but that he gives
full evidence to the world that if he had been,
executed, his blood woald have been required

Tho following Message of Governor Davis to the
Legislature of Massachusetts will explain If,
and contains suggestions Of some import 10 the reo-
pie Of this State.
CoUNcIL CHAMBER, Feb. %. 1912,
To the Senate and House of Representatives.;
GENrLEME The great interest which the
Commonwealth has in TIN, portion Of the State OF
Maine, often called the Disputed Territory, seems
to require that should invite your attention TO the
subject The northeastern boundary still remains
unsettled. Several years have elapsed in the
tedious process of arranging joint commission to
designate the line. If they can agree, aud 1t not, to
have the matter brought to close by an umpire
but my belief IS that this arrangement Is ye' 'hc0H'-
plele.
White this state of things is pending, we learn
from sources which seem to leave no doubthat the
Government OF Great Britain has appointed special
envoy to proceed this country to adjust the con-
rroyersie, which exist The northeastern boundary
has been a leading topic of dispute, and will consti-
tute principal matter for diplomatic discussion
While this unusual movement OF Great Britain
seems to indicate a serious purpose Of amlcable ad-
jnstment, | cannot persuade myself that special
minister dispatched hither to arrange the remain
ing details Of joint commission, which seem to re-
qure no exiraord nary array of diplomatic skill.
therefore anticipate. probable event, that this
representative Of Great Britain may be authorized to
make other proposals of settlement. If however,
the subject be considered with attention II is obvious
that il must be disposed Of in one OF two ways
First, by asserting and establishing the line accord
ing to the terms Of the treaty of 1888; or second.
by agreeing upon a conventional boundary instead
OF thnt described by the treaty. This Common
wealth has repeatedly declared her solemn and
deberative conviction that the pretensions oil
Great Britain do not find any just or plausible sup
port from the treaty for the terms of that nstru-
ment are too plain to be missapprehended, and af-
ford the most satisfactory means of designating the
line, Nothing has occurred to change or modify
and aggravated by the irritating circumstances which
surround it, by a steady refusal on the part of Great
Britain TO acquiesce in what seems 30 plain matter
TO us.
This being the state Of things, ii seems to me 10
be the manifest dictate of wisdom to look forward
to probabilities, and to provide for the support ofour
rights and interests is any contingency that may oc-
cur. We have sufficient evidence that Great
Britain deems the possession of portion of the ter
riorv west of the treaty line, orthe greatest mpor-
tagce TO her, TO facilitate intercourse between her
prOyinces;-ws feel ALSO az if she could not re.is

Tholuck says, "Prayer is the pulsatiou of the

definition! Whole pages might be written up
on the subject, and indeed pages upon pages
have been written upon it, without giving so per-

prayer as is contained in that brief sentence. 1t

ence--it is :'the pulsation of the soul" Christ
