EeautX Of Old PEOPLE.

Men and women make their own beauty
or their own ugliness. Lord Lytton speaks
in one of his novels of a man "whO was
uglier than he had any business to be- and
if he could but read it, every human being
carries his life in his face. and is good look
ing or the reverse as that life has been good
or evil, On our features the fine chisel OF
thought and emotion are eternally at work.
Beauty is not the monopoly of blooming
Young men and of white-and-pink maidens.
There IL a slow-growing beauty that only
comes to persons in old age. Grace belongs
to no period Of life, and goodness improves
the longer it exists. We have seen sweeter
smiles from a lip of seventy than upon a
lin of seventeen. There is the beauty OF
youth and the beauty of Holiness beauty
much more seldom met, and more frequent

grandchildren around his KEGS than IN the
ballroom or promenade. Husband and
wife, who have fought the world side by
side who have made common stock OF JOY
and sorrow, and aged together, are not IN

Hancock Literary Association.


This association held its regular weekly
meeting at the house of the president, DIR.
Whitaker, No. 468 St. Charles street, last
Friday evening at half-past seven O'Clock.
A goodly number of literateurs, ladies and
gentlemen. were present.
DR.. Whitaker, who usually commences
the exercises, selected for his theme the in
justice AMI inexpediency of capital punish
ment for any, the highest offerses known to
the law, and the propriety OF substituting
imprisonment for life, if need be, for the
gravest ofienses, as equally the dictate OF
humanity, Christianity and civilization.
The history of criminal law, he said, was
history written in blood. and he rejoiced to
think and to be able to say that great
and growing dislike to it now existed
throughout the world.
General NJ. JEFF Thompson was OF opin
ion that nothing could be substituted in
the army but the penalty of death for the
gravest offenses. An army would soon be-
come demoralzed tina: allowed the crime
of deeertion to pass unnoticed. l. must be
promptly punished, and the prospect Of GER
tain and immediate death before him was the
only effectual real restraint that would pre-
vent the unprincipled man from tying from
his post. In the earlier history of the late
war, when large armies were collected,
without formality or much preparation, 1t
had sometimes been found necessary to IN
vest the General with absolute power over
life and death, without the Intervention of
a court martial. 1t had been sometime
found the only way Of keeping an army
together The remarks Of General Thomp-
son we're earnest and eloquent. and were
listened to with profound attention.
The Rev. Mr.. Hinkley was opposed to
capital punishment for any civil ottenses
whatever. In the army, .sagrante tilio. the
case was different. In some of the States.
he admitted, where capital punishment
had been abrogated altogether, the conse-
uuences, as he had ascertained, had
been an increase of crime. The genius OF
| Christianity, as well as Its positive pre-
cepts. were opposed to extreme punish
| ments.
J.J. Foley. Esq. vice president. was OF
| opinion that where a man could have fair
Jury trial he had no right to complain. He
| did not think any innocent man would be
likely to suffer. Mr.. Foley thought the
great evil most to be dreaded now days
was an abuse of authority by those invested
| with judicial functions. He thought 10
circumstances could Justify the death pen
atty in the case of soldier without trial
| by court martial.
Mr.. Spearing entertained the company
with patriotic excerpt from a fine poet,
very powerfully rendered.
Several Rotations, original or selected,
| by the members of the association, both
ladies and gentlemen, concluded the exer'
| cises OF the evening.

on on Duty.

General NJ. jeff Thompson. who is
trife younger. but scarcely more active
than Professor Forshey, lef. last evening on
visit to the upper coast. Ii there IS
crawtish hole or any other weak spot in the
levee, between here and the highest point
he visits, the General will find it out, even
though it be hidden to ordinary eyes by
the dark and turbid waters of the Missis-
sippi. The crawfish have not had half a
chance lately. We hope this most accom-

Auditor Clinton.

A visit to the Auditors Office yesterday
satisfied us that the chief of that depart
ment is now feeling most happy over the
complete success of the financial measures
introduced by himself and the Governor to
relieve the State of some Of its difficulties,
among which are to be included the bro
kers. We think Auditor Clinton believes
he has thoroughly spoiled the little game
of the brokers, and is happy.
