DISTANCE OF TEE sTaRs.-No method
has yet been found by which the distance
to the fxcd stars can be ascertaiaed. The
method by which the distance Of the pla-
nets is determined, fails when applied 10
these remote orbs. Astronomers have as
ceyta;ned, however, that they are PCT near
-es than &c, 0e0,e oD, oe9,e0e miles but how
much farther distant they may be, cannot
be ascertained. By an ,npfosea aPpara-
tps, the star 81 Csgsi is ascszta:nea 10 be
at a distance of at least .62, SEQ, One,.
600 miles from the earth !; yet this is con.
sidered to he one Of nearest Of sae fged
stars.-Light, which mases@Uish such ve-
locity as to travel from the sun to the earth
in about eight minutes, would require more
than ten years TO eoroe from the star above
mentioned: the rays Of light by which this
star is nav visible, were given out more
than ten years ago. We talk of distan-
ces on the surface Of our little terrestrial
ball; and of annihiIatlug distances by the
speed of locomotive engines; but to perform
aiourney equal to the distance Of tbs star,
one of our best engines with continuous mo-
ton and full speed, would require a term of
time exceeding three hundred millions Of

AN AUTHENTIC NARRATIVE.


When shall we fro meet again ?'-.MacJeh
~, ana my fellows, are ministers of fate
Tempest.
In almost all countries the office of
public execationer is one which ex-
cites in the mind, feelings Of unmitiga-
ted loathing and contempt, not more
from the dreadful nature of the func-
tions which he is requiredto perform,
than from the knowledge that, in
general, the person 20 officiating Is
himself a vicious ~outcast. Il condemn
ed criminal, whose worthless life has
been conceded to him, upon the con-
dition that he should henceforth be-
come the instrument of justice in Ia
king away those of his fellows in
crime. So long as the pain of death
is not abolished. these degraded be-
ings must be looked upon as lndIspen-
sable adiuncts of the laws; they may
be execrated as licensed murderers.
but they are, in fact, the surgeons Of
socictv, whose loathsome services are
required to check the progress OF cor
ruption by looping off the rotten
limbs which would otherwise inject
and spread their gangrene through
the whole social body. In France, the
office OF executiOner is established
upon an entirely different footing; al
though subject to the same public de-
testation, it is upon grounds excIu,
sive!y confined TO the functions, and
not TO the functionary; for in that
country the Office of public execu-
TONER is invested with a sort OF terri
bic dignity; it is hereditary, decend-
ing from father TO son, without inter
ruption. and, in default of issue male,
devolving to the next of kin, who is
invariably expected TO accept, the
horrible charge, which may. therefore,
most truly be designed a family ten
ure. Formerly. this rule was o5lIga-
tory. and enforced with the utmost
rigor Of the law: nothing could alb
solve the sons Of nearest relations OF
these functionaries from following the
dreadful calling OF their fathers; and,
in more instances than one. where
Nature has recoiled from the task
thus imposed upon them, young men
have known to expatrlate themselves,
rather than submit to the tyrannous
law which doomed them to become
s~pillers of blood; and fathers, who
have found that years Of practice
have not reconciled their own minds
to the sanguinary office, have sent
their sons (while yet children) to dis,
tant countries, and have separated
themselves for ever from them in this
world, in order to ensure their ex'
emption from q profession not only
revolving to humanity, but the first
operation of which is to place a so
cial ban upon those exercising it, anc
to put them beyond the sympathy
and fellowship Of the whole human
creation except the members OF theI'
ownfraternity, with whom alone they
associate and intermarry. But these
instances have been rare; and al
though the hereditary obligation is nj
longer so inexorably insisted upon a
in former years, it would appear that
