Fascination as Cause of Crime.

We have no doubt as to the influence of the
agent referred to. A distinguished writer in
the Edinburgh Review observes, when speak
ing of the subject, ''Gibbits, which have now
become very uncommon, may, we think, have
produced equivocal effects in this way, (power
of fascination) They belong to class ofwhat
are called interesting objects. They excite a
feeling Of horror, not altogether without its
attraction in the ordinary spectator, and startle
while they rivet the eye. Who shall say how
often, in gloomy and sulen dispositions, this
Iequivocal appeal to the imagination may not
have become an ingredient to pamper muir
iderous thoughts, and to give superstitious
bias to the last act of the will? To see this
CHASTITY. appearance rearing its spectral form
in som9solitary place at nightfall by wood
side or barren heath-to note the wretched
scare-crow figure dangling upon it, black and
wasted, parched in the sun, drenched in all the
dews of heaven that fall cool and upon ii,
while this object of the dread and gaze of man
feels nothing, knows nothing, fears nothing
swings creaking in the gale, unconscious Of all
that it has suffered, or that others suffer
there is something in all these circumstances
that may lead the mind to tempt the same
fate, and place itself beyond the reach of NOR
tai consequences 1t is disagreeable con-
temptation in all respect. The broken slum-
bers that precede 1.-THE half waking out of
them to the hideous dreams of what is to come
the feverish agony, OF the more frightful
deadness to all feelings-the weight of eyes
that overwhelm the criminals-the faint use
less hope of mockery of sympathy-the
hangman like spectre, crawling near him
the short, helpless struggle-the last sickly
lpang-ali combine to render this punishment
as disgusting as possible"
