Executions Among the Hebrews.

b The Hebrews had no executioner.-
AWben man was guilty of homicide, The
Nexecution devolved on the next OF kin, By
the right OF blood revenge; in other cases
terminals were stoned by The people. the
Switnesses setting the example; and when
Stbe king or chief ordered person TO be
! put 10 death, The Office was performed by
4 the person TO whom the command was
3given; and this was generally a pereon
whose consideration in lie bore some
proportion to that Of the person to be
slain. Thus Solomon gave the commits.

Sof regular execu,ioner is not by any
means dishonorable in the East. The
Spost OF chief executioner is in most Ori.
sental courts one Of honor and distinction
Thus, when there WAS no regular execu.
Stioner il came to be considered a sort OF
honor TO put distinguished person to
Sdeath: and on the other hand, the death
sitsell was honorable in proportion 10 the
rank of the person by whom the blow
was inflicted. 1t was the greatest dis.
honor to perish By the hands Of a woma an

aro commissioning his son 10 perform thi.

awiln distinction Of having slain two chiel
'senen1ies Of Israel, as well as because the
Srules OF bloodrevenge made it necessary
that the execution OF those who had slain

III. The husbsndman who obtains from

lis selling his labor at half its value.
i'll. In all cases keep the best products
'of your farm. whether of grain or stock,
for your own use, that improvement in
each may result therefrom. If three
poor sheep. will bring as much as one
good one. keep the good one and sell the
three.

Wives and Husbands.

With a wife comes certain loss of

natures. Man, (who is n very short
sighted creature) never thinks of this
until after the object of his love is his
Waking thoroughly to the conscious
ness that he is a married man, he finds
in his house a person who has an alb
solute claim ON his attention, his time,
affection and service. He is surround
ed by new conditions. All his move
ments must start from a new center.
Mr.. Jones before marriage, could har-
ness his pony and drive whenever i'm
pulse might direct; but Mr. Jones after
marriage, is obliged to remember that
Mrs. Jones is in the house and wonld
like to accompany him fact, consid-
ering the way towards which the POI
ny's head is turned, and the old com
panions who live on the way, that is
not wholly agreeable to Mr.. Jones. A
new item comes into all his calcula-
tons. Mr.. Jones is double instead OF
single. Mr.. Jones life which was
once = skein of silk, has become a
stick of twist, and the strand which
he contributed cannot be separated
from its fellow without q snarl. Mr.
Jones finds himself tied TO Mrs. Jones
for life and also finds that a certain
freedom of movement which he en-
joyed before marriage cannot, with
propriety, be enjoyed after marriage
This troubles Mr.. Jones little. He
has half mind to rebel. What bust.
ness has woman to interfere with
him Perhaps he rebels with whole
mind. Thousands do, and by the
! failure to adapt themselves nationally

HUMoR AND SARcAsM.-It is not every
body who knows where to joke, or
when, or how; and whoever is ignor-
ant of these conditions had better not
joke at all. A gentleman never at
tempts to be humorous at the expense
Of people with whom he is but slightly
acquainted. He would as soon board
at their cost or request them to frank
him at their tailors. In fact, it is
neither good manners nor wise policy
to joke at anybody's expense; that is to
say, to make anybody uncomfortable
merely to raise n laugh. Old Esop,
who was doubtless the subject of many
a jibe on account of his bumped back,
tells the whole story in his fable of
THE boys and the Frogs What was
jolly for the youngsters was death to
the croakers. A Jest may cut deeper
than a curse. Some men are SO con-
stituted that they cannot take even a
friendly joke in good part, and instead
of repaying it in the same light coin,
will requite it with contumely and
insult Never banter one of this class,
for he will brood over your badinage
long after you have forgotten it, and it
is not prudent to incur any ones
enmity for the sake of uttering smart
double enteadre or a tart repartee.
Ridicule, at best, is perilous weapon.
Satire, however, when levelled at social
follies and political evils, is not only
legitimate, but commendable. 1t has
shamed down more abuses than were
ever abolished by force of logic.
