The Punishment OF Death.
Private Correspondence OF ibe Editor.

WEsTfIELD, y. Y, Nov. Q, 1872
You are right, 700, on the subject OF
Capital Punishment. Your correspondent who
undertook to read you lecture for taking Eroand
in favor of aboshing that bassarous law, had bet
ter read bis Bible entirely through, and see if be
don't find the old law OF ian eye for eye, and
tooth for tooth" entirely done away, and the
more humane and Christian code substituted of
rendering good for evil" But if he insists on
taking The Old Testament as the only rule, then
let him take the hole of that, and he will find the
Almighty absolutely forbidding any one from taking
the life OF the first murderer of whom we have any
authentic account 1t is an old adage, that " the
truth half teld is always lie; - ard the same rule,
TO certain extent, will apply to selecting q por-
ton or part OF the Bible establish great prin-
ciple without taking the whole that is applicable.
deny the right of government, in any case to take
human life. All the rights possessed by govern
rnent IRE such as have been surrendered by the
individuals composing the body polite, for the
common benefit of the whole. 1t will not be pre-
tended b. the strongest advocates of capital pun
ishment that a man has ght TO take his own
life; and if he docs not possess that right, ne
cannot delegate TO government what ne does not
possess. Some plead as excuse, that the com.
munity are only acting III selt-deience wnen they
take the life of murderer; but this is not So be-
cause when the strong arm of the law has been
laid upon the offender there be possible ex-
cuse for taking his life. The community are no
longer acting in selfdefcnce because he is in their
pomer, and they can place him in position where
he can never do any moro injury. 1t is, there
fore, a mere question of expediency; and for one,
l am in favor of allowing Him who gave life to
take it in His proper time 1t is as wrong
for a whole community to murder man, as for
single individual to do t-and worse too: because
they do it in cool blood, while he is generally I'M
der the influence of passion. So long as the law
i, on our statute book, it probably right in
the Governor not to interfere to prevent Colts cx-
ecu,ion. Yours very respectfully

ZINE. Edited by II. T. TuckERNAN January, 1913
New-Yerk Bradbury Soden, ~ Nassau-street.
This number Introduces the third number Of this
| valuable Mayazine-one of the most elegant and
excellent of the many similar publications of the
day. The literary contents possess good degree
of merit though none of them are much above the
ordinary stamp. The leading paper by the Editor
the first of u series-entitled Thoughts on the
Poets, is pleasing and discriminating article on
the Poetry Of CRABBE, giving beautiful sketch Of
the Poets Life, and fine essay upon his peculiar
merits. We shall copy portion of this article as
soon as we can find room. JOHN NEAL conl:i-
butes a tale called The Two Portraits written
avowedly with intent to show that it is no ditii-
cult matter to write Magazine articles, and that
almost any one, if he would only bring oct some
thing from the millions of stories ahoat in his
memory could produce as good one as this
We are bound in candor to say that think no
one can doubt it. WILLIS furnishes a tale emit
tied The Pharisee and the Barber, written in his
racy, piquant, pleasant style, but which do not
like. w. A. JONES furnishes characteristic cs-
say on 'Prcfaces and Dedications.' The Maya
zine contains several other articles, of good de-
gree of literary merit, of which The Walk to
Wachusett is perhaps the best Several Poems
are included. The Miscellany is adorned, as
usual, with two fine ongravings
GoDEy's LADys Book January, la4S, Philadelphia La
Cooley. New York: Israel Post 86 Bowery.
This magazine, like its contemporaries, presents
very attractive number for the commencement of
the new year. The literary contents are wholly
by female writers-most Of them of acknowledged
excellence. Miss sedgwick is constant con-
trbutor, and her productions add greatly to the
value and interest of the work. We have always
thought the standard which the Lady's Book as.
sumes too low: its Editors seem to take it for
granted that ladies take pleasure only in insiPid
love-tales the most worthless and trashy species of
literature, in which this age abounds; and It's
contents are therefore uniformly made up of them.
This we deem great mistake, though we suppose
the proprietors must find the enterprise we'll sus-
tained or they would renquish it We trust,
however, TIM, this matter will be made, ere many
years, the subject of thorough reform, for never
was one more needed. The plates in this nam
Der are Of unusual elegance; the first one, mez-
rotpt entitled Devotion, has all the beauty and
finish of steel engraving, and the colored en-
craving of birds is also exceedingly fine.
