EARLY PUNISHMENTS.

On the Massachusetts records appears
the following order:
Whereas, there is no express punish
men by any law hitherto established or
affixed to the evil Practice of Sundry Per-
SONS by Exhorbitancy of the Tongue in
Railing and Scolding-
1t is therefore ordered that all such per-
sons convicted before the Court of Mag
istrates, that hath proper cognizance of
the case for Railing and Scolding, shall
be gagged or set in Ducking Stool and
drencfe ed ov"r Head and Ears three times
in some cor yenient place of fresh or salt
water, as the Court of Magistrates may
judge meet"
In 1914, the Court ordered, among
other interesting matters, that every
town should take care that "there be a
pair of stocks, cage, and coucking
stool erected between this and the next
Court" The "coucking STOOL" or duck
ing stool, as it was oftener styled, con-
sisted of a convenient seat attached to
the end of beam, precisely as a bucket
is hung from the end of we'll sweap-
this was placed over pond or any deep
water, and the person to be punished
having been well secured in the seat, was
let down, or "ducked" into the water at
the pleasure of the officer. This was the
most cooling mode of punishment then
in use, and was therefore specially re-
served for scolding women. There was
also provision for whipping post
in the vicinity of every justice of the
peace-presuming the number honored
with that office, was not so great as in
our day.
Coffin, the historian of Newbury, finds
record of l751, "for carving the head
of the whipping post, eighteen shillings, :"
and in l765, "iron works for the town
stocks, four and sixpence; bowl of toddy
eight pence" The whipping post and
pillory in Boston were stationed in State
street, in the square below the State
House. We have heard that the last
person set in the pillory in State street,
in public, was a black woman convicted
Of stealing.

In the name Of all that is Just and gen.
erous, We protest against the degrading
aspersions of great and good man in the
last sentence of the above paragraph.
Nothing less than the bitterest maiignity
could have prompted such defamation Of
a statesman, whose character and fame
are TIE pride of the nation-now, at this
period of his life, when, with heart Ia
cersted by affliction, and head silvered
over for the reaper Death, he stands still
like hero at his post, with no aspira-
tons except to give the last throb of his
breast, and the last breath of his counsel
for the people whom he has served. and
the Republic which has loved so fondly.
"Gallant Old Veteranm When thou
shalt have gone to thy "long home,"
and the mourners shall 60 about the
Streets, may no such ungrateful thoughts
mingle their bitter trace with the deep
sorrow which shall swell the heart of an
affectionate nation-may no such blight
impair the deep and enduring esteem
which thy patriotism, and purity, and
intellectual eminence have so richly mer-
tied!
But six months ago, we saw the Senator
at his own house, one week only after his
ireside and heart had been made desolate
by the loss of her whose love had been
his unfailing recourse through long life
of labor, and trial, and persecution. The
crowd thronged him as ever; but his
practised urbanity endeared them to him
as of yore, yet seemed he to see them,
through the fearful film of his sorrow,
only as the child of faith perceives, in his
last mortal hour, the officious friendswho
proffer their unavailing kindness. Never
shall we forget with what mournful en-
phasis he said to us: "My friends, think
no more of me, have no ambition save
to do my duty until called hence. There
is no Office in the gift of mortal man that
| would have now. Act for the public,
and may God bless you" We cannot
forget this, or the deep sentiment of ad-
which irresistibly filled us as we
felt the confirming pressure of his hand at
parting.
Could the writer of the above have par
in such emotions, he would
never have classed the eminent states
man SO flippantly, with the swarm of
intriguing office seekers. If he could have
done so, we could have compared him to
nothing save to some Vandal who would
drag corpse from the tomb by its grey
hairs, or gamble for money or for office
upon his fathers sepulcbre.
