0t-The article which we publish to-day under the
title of "Capital Punishment" is lengthy, but we
think those of readers who take interest in the
question at issue will read it with pleasure and profit.
We deem it conclusive on the point discussed. 1t
annhates the imPious-(for TO it appears nothing
less than mpious)-pretext that capital punishment
is sanctioned and required by the Divine Law. Talk
about ifdety,-that wretched cry raised invariably
from time immemoral by anaticsm, and superstition,
and hypocrisy, against euey of phianthropic
reform,-why, it to us that those who contend
that the Divine Law is based upon the hesh principle
of REVENGE, do more towards the incubation of
infide sentiments than all the nides in the world
could do of themselves. Is it not wonderful that
who call themselves christians, should senti-
mens of which the veriest nfde should be ashamed
Yet such the inrmities of the human mind, under
the influence of bgotted and ntoeran and unenlight-
ened views. Would that they could appreciate the
mandatory injunction of the Master they profess to
follow Why eren of YOURSELVES Judge gre not rhdt
as right"

Convention of Military omcers.

1t has been suggested to us by several commission
ed military officers that much benefit might accrue
from holding, at central point in the State a
Military Convention, for the purpose of taking Into
consideration the present loose state of our militia
ganization. The Convention might be composed Of
the officers whose commissions are in force, or by
delegates from the several brgades, &c. That much
good would result therefrom, we have no doubt In
deed we have the example of another State, where
such Convention framed the very law in exis-
tence there, and which was almost, if not quite, I'M
animously adopted by the Legislature. Will our CO.
emporares inquire into this matter, and give their
opinions Will they also suggest time and place
Let have time to prepare the matters for the next
Legislature to act upon. Thieis in our opinion the
only way in which any judfios measures car be pro-
iected -

Ireland.

The London correspondent of the n. Y. Journal
of Commerce. under date of July lSth gives the fol-
lowing interesting items in relation to the affairs Of
the Emerald Isle:
The split among the Irish repealers is rather increasing
than the The Nation Dublin newspaper, is
the organ of the Young Ireland party and declares
that Sir Robert Pees power is the only chance
Of getting justice done Ireland. The editor takes the
late Premiers statement in the House, the evening
when he announced his abandonment of Office that Ire
land should be placed, in all things, the same equality
with England and Scotland and he demands the regene-
ration of Ireland through the of Sir Robert Peel to
the service of the country.
Mr.. O'Connel the other hand, is for giving fair
trial Lord John Russell, though he will not yield up
repeal if repeal does forsake him. He has pledged
himself bring forward session the question Of
table Of the House, eleven bills the passage Of the whole
of which he contends be absolutely requisite for the
pacifcation and preservation of Ireland.
Lord Midtown, Irish peer, who has stood aloof from
repeal calls upon OConnell abandon his agitation for
year. and form Irish party to assist the ministry
but should the government not do justice to his country,
he would then join the repeal movement which would be
strengthened by the delay both physically and morally
The Lberaor declines to suspend the proceedings Of the
Association for hour bit he says that il is his desire
that the government of England should bid for the peo
pie against him.
The rent of the Association last week was cha
this week il amounts TO fl30.
Mr.. OConnel, has fallen into sad disgrace for allowing
Mr.. Shiel the Of the Mint, walk the
for Dungarvon, his late reelection Mr. SHE
has given great umbrage the ultra repeal party, by
calling repeal "a splendid phantom.

A Modern Seminary.

Ellen, like most Of misses in the land
Had slipped skyblue, through certain OF her teens,
AT one Of those establishments which stand
In highways, byways, squares, and village greens,
Twas called " The Groye,'-a that always mean:
Two Poplars standing centres at the gate
Each window had its close Venetian screens
And Holland blind, TO keep in cool state
The twenty-fOuT young ladies' Of Miss Bate.
But when the screens were left Enclosed by chance,
The blinds not down, as if Miss b. were dead,
Each upper window to passing glance
Revealed little dimiiy white bed;
Each lower cropp'd curly head;
And thrice week, for souls and heah's economics,
Along the roadthe twenty-four were led
Like coupled hounds, whipped in by she domines
With faces rather graver than Melpomene's.
And thus their studies they pursued :-cn Sunday,
Beef, collects, batter, texts fIom DR.. Price,
Mutton, French, pancakes grammar-of Monday;
Tuesday-hard dumplngs, globes, Champone's Advice;
Fol Wednesday-fancy work, rice milk (no spiee);
Th9rsdayz-pOrk. dancing, currant-bolsers, readings
FIiday-beef, Mr.. Butler, and plain rice;
SaiuTday-scraps, short lessons, and short feeding,
Stocks backboards hash steel collars and good breeding
From this repertory of female learning.
Came Ellen once quarter, always fatter!
To crafty the eyes of parents yearning.
Twas evident in holsters, beef, and battef,s--
Hard dumplings, and rice milk, she did not smatter
But heartily, as Jennings says, acknowledge;
But as Tor any learning, not to fatteT,
As often happens when girls leave their college,
She had done nothing but grow out Of knowledge.
At ong-divsion sums she had no chance,
And history quite bad baulk
Her French it too small for petty France,
And PrScian suffered in her English talk;
Her drawing might be done with cheese or chalk;
As foI the globes, the use of the terrestrial
She knew when she went out 10 take walk,
Or take a ride; but touching the celestial,
Her knowledge hardly scared above the bestial.
Nothing she learned Of Juno, Pallas, Mars;
Georgium, for what she knew, might stand for Burgo,
Sidus, for Master; then, for northern stars,
The bear she fancied did in sable fur go,
The Bull was Farmer Ges's BULL and, ergo,
The Ram the same that butted at her brother;
As for the Twins, she only guessed that Virgo,
From coming after them, must be their mother;
The Scales weighed soap, tea, figs, like any other.
As ignorant donkeys in Gallica,
She thought that Saturn, with his Belt, was but
private, may be- in the Kent militia;
That Cnares's Vain would stick in deep rut,
That Venus a real WeSt-end slut
on, gods and goddeses Of Geek TheogoDy
That Berenice'S hair would curl and cut,
That Cassiopeia's Chair was good mahogany,
Nicely French polisned-such was her cosmogony.

lest days in early Autumn, and the genial atmosphere

ceeding from an old pine tree beside the road. We
dismounted, approached the place, and saw the with

the tears of ninety years seemed to have made deep
burrows in her cheeks. We by the copper color

asked her how many Of her tribe were left She
raised her haggard eyes ours, and with trembling
voice, in broken English, answered, "ony me, only

ruin of once powerful nation-the last descendant
of that proud and warlike tribe, whose Chief was
Philip of Pokanoket.
That man was a philosopher who said the history
of the world was history of ruin. 1t is 50 indeed.
