nonymous with Paradise. The Mahometans call tho
Paradise to which the faithful will be called Jannat

Garden OF Perpetual Abode and not unfrequently

conceived that those who died Of wounds or were
drowned, went to cool and delightful place there

the sun, and led life of endless delight. After an
abode OF four years in this splendid habaton, they
animated Clouds and birds Of beautiful feather, and
sweet song having at the same time liberty to a.

flowers, and warble enchanting songs,
The Tonqunese imagine the forests and mountains
to be peopled with peculiar kind OF geni, who
exercise an influence the affairs Of mankind and
in their ideas relative to state of future happiness,
they regard delightful climate, and an atmosphere

The Penalty of Death.

On Saturday last the Oath inst, Gov Wickliffe
signed death warrants for the execution Of Artiese
Bennett for the murder OF G. J. Jordan and Edward
Ward, for the murder Of Mr.. Smith. The sentence
will be carried into effect the 2st day Of October
The ofenses were committed in the parish Of Caddo
and the prisoners confined in Jail at Shreveport
Louisiana is not behind with her measures of reform
in criminal jurisprudence. Perhaps she has advanced
as far on the road OF progress as the interest of
society will permit. In the early time, the simple
verdict of guilty" consigned many to death but
under new regime, the verdict may be qualified
with imprisonment for life." When the manner of
drawing jures is considered it is not to be wondered
at, that get into the jury box who are not aware
OF the consequences OF verdict of guilty, and do
not know that it may be qualified with Imprisonment
for lfe." If they did, executions, brutal and dis
gustng as they are-having pernicious inf1eence on
society as they do-would not be so common.
There is natural repugnance in every breast to
the death penalty Did society grow better, could
the terror of death be made to deter others from crime,
then there would be argument in favor of it, and
warrant for society to take the life OF its members at
pleasure but the facts of history show that such is
not the case. Society should be satisfied in taking
from the individual his liberty and placing him where
it is impossible for him to do further injury.
The charge certainly cannot be made against Gov.
Wicklife Of showing too much leniency to offenders
Whenever during his term Of office 3 verdict OF
guilty has been brought in by jury in capital case,
be has been firm and unwaveriDg in all the appeals
that have afterwards been made to spare life by COM
muting the punishment into Imprisonment for life.
His answer has always been, "This is the law"
