Az EXECUTION. - The criminals were
two young men, brothers: they suffered for
a most atrocious murder, having in the dead
Of night bIoke open the house of an aged
man, whom they put to death, and whose
property they stole. Criminals in Spain are
no; hanged as they are in England, OF gull
lotned as in France, but strangled upon a
wooden stage. They sit down on kind Of
chair with pos; behind, to which is aft 1ed
an iron collar with screw; this iron col.
lar is made to clasp the neck of the prison.
or, and on a certain signal it is drawn tighter
and tighter by means Of the screw, until life
becomes extinct. After We had waited
amongst the assembled multitude consid.
cradle time, the first of the culprits appear
ed; he was mounted on an ass, without ssd-
die or stirrups, his legs being allowed to dan
gle nearly to the ground. He was dressed
in yellow sulphur colored robes, with high
peaked conical red hat on his head, which
was shaven. Between his hands he held a
parchment, on which was written something,
| believe the confession of faith. Two
priests led the animal by the bride; two
others walked on either side chanting lita.
MES, amongst which distinguished The
words of heavenly peace and tranquility, for
the cul prt had been reconciled to tie church,
had confessed and received absolution, and
had been promised admission 10 heaven. He
did not exhibit the least symp. ON of fear, tst
dismounted from the animal and was led. rot
supported, up the scaffold, where he was
placed on the chair, and the fatal collar put
round his neck. One Of the priests then in
a loud voice commenced saying the Belief,
and the culprit repeated the words after him.
On sudden, the executioner, who stood be.
hind, commenced turning the screw, which
was OF prodigious force, and the wretchusl
man was almost instantly corpse; but, as
the screw went round, the priest began 70
shout, "par ct misericoydia ct trangmilli.
Ia" and still as he shouted, his voice b..
came louder and louder, till the lofty walls
OF Madrid rang with it; then STOPPING down,
he placed his mouth close to the culprit's ear,
still shouting Just as if he mould pursue the
spirit through its course to eternity, cheer
ing ii on its ,rdy. The effect was tremen-
dous. l myself was so excited that invol-
unfairly shouted misericordia," and so did
many others.-Bor7osc's Spain. II

Consider, further, the difference between the
first and second owner Of property. Every
species Of property is Preyed on by its own enc
mics, as iron by rust, timber by rot, cloth by
moths. provisions by mould. Putridity, or YER
min money by thieves, an orchard by insects
planted field by weeds or the iuroad of cattle,
stock Of cattle by hunger, road by rain and
frost, a bridge by freshets. And whoever takes
any Of these things into his possession, takes
the charge of defending them from this troop of
enemies, or Of keeping them in repair. A man
who supplies his own wants, and who builds a
raft or boat to 60 a-6shing, finds il easy to
caulk il. or put in whole pin, OF mend the rud-
der. What he gets only as fast us he wants for
his own ends, does not embarraxs him, or take
away his sleep with looking AFTER. But when
he comes to give all the goods he has wear after
year collected in one estate to his son, house.

ware, wooden ware, carpets, cloths, provisions,
books, money, and cannot give him the skill
and experience which made and collected these.
and the method and place they have in his own
life, the son finds his hands full, not to use these
things, but to look after them, and defend them
from their natural enemies. To him they are

WIsDoM AND FoLLv.-The wise man has his
follies no less than the fool; but it has been said
that herein lies the diference--the follies of the
fool are known to the world, but are hidden from
himself, but hidden from the world. A HARM
less hilarity, and buoyant cheerfalness, are not
unfrequent concomitants Of genius; and we are
never more deceived, than when we mistake
gravity for greatness, solemnity for science, and
pomposity for erudition.-Aae.. -,-.

NENIcE.-The silence Of Venice consti
tutes, in my opinion, one of its greatest
charms. This absence Of noise is peculiar
ly soothing to the mind, and dsposes it TO
contemplation. looked ont from nv bal
cony last night, when The grand canal re-
Elected thousand brilliant stars on its water,
turbid though it be; and the lights streaming
from the windows on each side, showed like
golden columns on its bosom. Gondola al
ter gondola glided along, from some of which
soft music stole on the ear, and sometimes
their open windows revealed some youthful
couple with their guitars, or some more ma
tured ones, partaking their light repast Of
fruit and cakes; while not unfrequently a
solitary male figure was seen reclined on the
seat absorbed in the perusal Of some book.
The scene realized some of the descriptions
of Venice read years ago; and except that
the gondolas were small in number, and the
lights from the houses few and far between.
could have iancied that no change had oc-
Cured since the descriptions referred TO
were written. The morning light reveals
the melancholy alteration; and as 1 stood
on the same balcony today, and saw the
muddy canal with few struggling gondolas
gliding over it, the defaced and mutilated
palaces, and the reduced population, all
brought out into distinctness BY the bright
beams Of the sun, ! could hardly believe it
was the same scene that looked 80 well last
night. Moonlight is great beautifer, and
especially of all that has been touched by
the finger Of decay, from a palace to-a
woman. 1t softens what is harsh, renders
fairer what is fair, and disposes the mind to
a tender melancholy in harmony with all
around.-Lady Blessington.

Lean on faith, look up rejoicing:

Summed himself in heavenly glow,
Seen the glory, heard the music:

The DRAAa.-Mr. Horne says, among
other things, in his admirable Introduction
to Schlegels' Lectures, which is marked by
truly philosophic spirit:
ut has been argued that the drama has
done its Office, and that highly educated
people are becoming too intellectually re.
fined to enjoy any such exhibitions. Which
is the class--who are they who compose
this body assumed to be thus Intellectually
superior to the acted drama! Is it the aris-
tocracy! They prefer the opera, the scene
ry, the wardrobe, and heroic Eglintonian
pageantry. Is it the middle classes? They
are the very followers and only supporters
Of the true drama. Is it the working class
es? The large minority delight in the i'm
FASHIONED drama, and humbly reverence at
its power: the majority flock to the external
shows. There is no such class; nor can a
score Of analytic philosophers, whose tastes
require more tranquil food, constitute any
sufficient foundation for such an argument
The true drama must he indestructible, be.
cause it is based on indestructible principles
of human nature. Its elevating appeal.
when properly made, must ever be success
full so long as the elements Of humanity re-
main unchanged. Passion and imagination
may require some change in the forms Of
their food, but its substance must remain the
same, or their existence be compromised
True dramatic power can only cease to pro-
duce its effect where humanity ceases to
feel. The exercise and effecr Of such pow.
er may not be confined to the theatre; but il
must always produce its natural effect in a
theatre when appropriately represented.
Progress Of refinement, theories Of philoso-
ply, changes in taste, and caprices of fash
ion, must all succumb before the command
ing spirit that searches and uplifts the hear
of man, and shakes with corresponding fire
the Promethean tree that ramifies throughout
J his mortal being" @
