In the dim crypfs of the heart, where des-
pair abtIeth. these words seen written 4
strange meaning-a solemn intimaton IN
folds Itself al their utterance. Four simple
little mnnosy lahles--how much of gloom do
voa convey. How We speak IN funeral tones
ut the eXtingaishncnt Of earthly hope-3f.
the spirit that has struggled IN vain, and is
painfully quiet now.
"Hhen ain deld." is uttered calmly; but
walt Il calm such az the tornado leaves
when silence broods over desolation. The
voice pronouncing that desparing phrase
has not all is mournfune4s from itself. The
listening ears hear something more; for from
those words the groan Of high aspirations
quenched, and hopes pale and bleeding upon
the sharp rocks Of adversely, come up. phan-
tom like, amid the ghastly scenes Of the bu-
riel past.
"When | am dead We have heard it
often, ike the peallng bell that tolls the
body Of the departed To the final rest The
last word dead fingers strangely and
echoes sadly in the ear, ana through the
portals Of the sympathisng soul. Dead

fades amidst the cncircling mist. aud the

Even the echo Of death cannot be penetrated.

grave, are wider than the globe, higher than
the stars. Not the minds eve, not the anx-
ious soul ean glance through the barriers

"Nhen am dead, more or less signifies

these words express, though sad they are AZ

haze grown feeble in the walks Of goodness.
ana whose hands trcInble with the fruits ii

and the tear that starts for superior soul
about to leave his clay, glistens IL the light

Capital Puni shment in wincou.in.

The Milwaukee Uinconsin Of late date
in abiding to recent murder in that city,
says:
'sWe trust that the next Legislature will re-
enact the death penalty, and we hope it viii
be done, not To crafty the revcngeful spirit
Of an excited populace, but as the best means
10 protect the community"
As question Of Importance, aud one
which has commanded much effort pro
/ and con, it is right and best that such cxpcr-
iments when yentured upon should have a
full and fair trial. 1t is between two ana
three years since capital punishment was
abolshedin Wmconsin. Withina few months
several shocking murders have been commit
ted, and the press and people of Wisconsin
are discussing the proprlety of restoring the
old law As bearing upon the matter, il is
right TO consider The following points
/. That the old law should have been ef-
fcient because Of lis penalty, il was necessary
that the penalty should have been inflicted
with some degree Of certainty Now in all
the instances Of murder during the many
years while the old law was in force. how
many times was the penalty inflicted If,
as we believe, il was inflicted only once or
twice, there may be reasonable ground to
think thai perhaps il is not the change IN lie
penalty for the commission Of murder which
has increased its frequency, if it really has
increased
,. Taking into consideration the relative
population for period Immediately previous
70 the abolition of capital punishment in
that State equal to that which has since
elapsed is it true that a greater number Of
murders have been committed within the lat
ter than the former period
These questions we suppose can be def
nitely ascertained 10y an examination oil the
judicial records of the State, and they are
worthy Of being answered categorically be
fore the repeal or continuance of the law is
finally determined upon. That question
should he decided calmly and nteIhgently,
uninlucneed by any temporary excitement OF
prejudice Of feeling
