Too MUGH SERENADISa. The quietly disposed
people in the vicinity of Ninth and Lombard
complain of the nightly serenades in the open
lots which are sometimes kept up by crowds of
morning. The music might possibly be endur-

words used rather offensive to refined tastes At
any rate they say give us rest"

THAT OLD BRIEF AUTHORITY"

Authority should be gentle and forbearing
toward those over whom it is called to exer-
else power, and at the same time unmindful
of their madness and injustice. The vice.
gerent of the sovereign need be no more con-
scious of indignities on his personal account,
than sensitive to any supposed tenderness Of
the sovereign on account Of his prsrogatives.
Justice is supreme; it rules with an even
hand, and without consciousness of the passions
that disturb and aflict humanity, and it is
alive to consequences rather than to cause.
harmonizing effects, not allaying the disturb
ing elements that produce them.
Authority without dignity, exercised through
agents without self respect, brings power into
ridicule and government into contempt. The
passionate element should be beyond its
knowledge rather than beneath its notice;
and violence towards offenders against law on
the part Of those who in its name, are ap-
pointed to suppress violence, is even more
pitiful on account of its weakness than crimi-
nal on account of its guilt.
We are disposed to go back on the great
master of Avon for his too lenient dismissal
of the miserable offender we describe, as one
merely who,
"Clothed in little brief authority,
Plays such fantastic trisbs, before high Heaven,
As make the angels weep"
There is not the might in these lines, how
ever superb, with which the great bard usu-
ally inundated where he struck; not that
energy Of the dramatic heel, SO to speak,
with which he strobe upon another immortal
lied culprit. placing in
'eThe hands of every honest man whip
