to go down on Long Island to see some relations
of hers who had the misfortune to live there
Among those relations there CHANGED to be
young swain who had seen Kate on previous
occasion, and seeing, fell deeply in love with
her. He called at the house on the evening OF
her arrival, and she met him on the piazza
where she was enjoying the evening air in COM
pany with two or three of her friends.
The poor fellow was so bashful that he could
not find his tongue for some time At length he
stammered out:
"HOw is yonr mOtherf"
"Quite well, thank you."
Another silence on the part Of Josh, during
which Kate and her friends did the best they
could to relieve the monotOny. After waiting
abOut fifteen minutes for him to commence to
make himself agreeable, he again broke the spell
by
"How's your father 7" which was answered
much after the same manner rs the first one and
then followed another silence like the other.
"HOw's your father and mOther?' again put
in the bashful lover.
"Qute well, both of them. This was follow, d

smile.
This lasted some ten minutes more, during
which Josh was fdge;ing in his seat and strok-
ing his Sunday hat. But at length another gues-
tion came

This produced an explosion that made the

Mistaken Sympathy.

Maudlin sentimentalists oppose
capital punishment. 1t is great
mistake. The fear of a disgraceful
death on the scaffold prevents many
murders. Hanging has terror for
those who do not fear life imprison-
ment. Owing to the laxity of pun
ishment crime has increased to an
alarming extent, especially within
ten or fifteen years. AS society adj.
vances to higher plane of intelli.
gcnce and civilization, crime in
creases. This is a strange contra
diction, but there is no going behind
the criminal record. Philosophers
and moralists advance their theories
for the causes of this social disease;
but, the proper explanation is, the
laxity of our laws and the slowness
and even uncertainty ofpunishment.
In the older countries of Europe,
when a man wilfully sheds blood,
lie suffers death before the grass
grows green over the grave of his
victim. In this country, punish.
ment is swift or slow, just in pro
portion to the amount of money the
criminal may have. 1t is not that
the administration of justice is dis
honest, but that it is lax aud loose
The law has its terrors, but when
the means of escape are at hand
it loses it's terrors. Witnesses move
away. Trials are postponed; and
finally, the crime fades into forget
fitness. The murdered victim, an(
his mourning household are forgot
