Hanging Affairs.

The two hanging affairs which recently oc-
casioned quite large amount of newspaporial
animadversion, considerable flow of official
ink, and corresponding amount of gubernafo-
rial wrath
The hanging of the negro man, Brace. at Au-
burn, for striking pick into the skull of an
Irishman, was most brutal affair, and we
would be delighted to see the ringleaders of the
mob sent to the Penitenfiary for long term of
years
But as for the execution of the condemned
CRIMINAL at Monterey, by the Under Sheriff of
the county, in obedience to the order of the Dis
frct Court,we cannot perceive ANYTHING so yerx
monstrous about it 1t is surely most absurd tn
call that execution a mob execution. II SCENE
that one Jose 4nastas,q was under sentence of
heath Tor cutting the throat of an lrishman, to
be hung on the 18th Feb Gov. Weller. desiring
to examine into his case, as he alleges. sent a
respite to Sheriff Gro for 44nastaaa Jesus. Sher-
iff Gro, thinking that the Governor meant Jose
-4ndstas'd, refused to execute the order of the
Iourt Whereupon his deputy, Mr. L. B. Poole,
in obedience as he thought, to his oath Of office.
carried out the sentence of the court by hanging
him. After which he sat down and wrote let
ter to Gov Weller, in most respectful terms, we
think, telling him what he had done and why
he had done (which letter wrought Up the
Governor to a degree OF wrath that has seldom
been witnessed in this any other hemisphere
He tells the sheriff that he is i-galty Of Judicial
murder'-tiiat he q deserves the contempt of all
honest men"-and that he regrets that he has
not the power to punish him as he deservesl In
fact he literally chaws up the aforesaid Sheriff
for hanging ose Anastas,a in the face of the fact
that he, the Governor, had ordered him aat to
hang Andst0sid Jesus

There is one warning lesson IN life
which few of us have not received, and
no book that can call to memory has
noted down with adequate emphasis:-
1t is this Beware of Parting" The
true sadness is not the pain of pal ting,
it is when and where you are to meet a
gain the face about to vanish from your
view. From the passionate farewell to
the woman who has your heart in keep.

AZ Rest.

''She is at rest" said the village pas
tor, as we stood around the shroudcd
figure of the dead. How sweet, how
cousolatory, these words seemed when
applied to her who lay in a dreamless
slumber before US! The form, whose dim
outline could be seen through the white
cerements of the grave, was wasted to a
more shadow of it's former symmetry.
and the cold hands folded over the silent
heart were so thin and so transparent
that you could trace each blue vein.
There was nary silver thread in the
dark hair. gathered back from the broad
'foreheadi many deep furrow on the
pale and rigid face. Care and sorrow
had swept the bloom from the cheek,
and cast a gloomy shadow over the spir-
it, which had now taken its flight heav
onward. 'fl''
She had learned bitter lessons in hu-
man suffering; her home had been dar-
kened by death, and her husband and
child had long, been tenants of the tomb.
The rosy visions of childhood had thus
melted away like the tints of the rain
bow; the bright passion dreams of youth
had fed; the hopes and plans of mature
years had been grasped by the iron hand
of adversely Friends had deserted her
and love had grown cold. Her existence
was perpetual strus gle, yet amid every
trial, every misfortune, she kept heI
faith in God undimmed. The silver
cord was broken now: she was free from
toll and grief, she was at rest. Like the
tempest tost mariner she made the peri
lous voyage of life with her gaze fixed on
the day star of Eternity, and in that
peaceful heaven beyond the river of
Death her sweet repose is eDdless.-
" hat can be more soothing than the
thought of eternal reste
1t comes to us with its calm and holy
influences when the young pass away
from earth, and even in our lamen-
tations for them, it is cheering to know
that they hare escaped the snares of the
world-that they will never minsle in
the wild strife for wealth and distinction;
and never feel the blighting breath of
anguish. When the poor die in piece
we rejoice in the belief that they have
found repose in the better land. There
no storms come, and no clouds of sorrow
