Gentlemen, above and beyond the duty
we owe to the criminal classes is the duty We
owe the State. Her honor is intrusted to
our keeping. Let us see that we transmit it
to its future guardians unsallied and with

ment throughout the world of those who
have stood and now stand in the foremost
rank in the great battle which Right is always
waging with Wrong, and whose names are
household words as the great friends of Jus
tice and Humanity, is that the death penalty
is unwise, cruel and barbarous. Let US
abide in the shadow of their Judgment.

THE GREAT MoGUL At WINDSOR.

The following good story comes
from quarter where we are assured
Its correctness can be vouched
for Many years ago, at the time
of a great ceremony, Windsor Cas-
tie was honored with the presence
of three sovereigns. After breakfast
the three potentates walked and
talked on the celebrated "Slopes,"
and were, Of course, in 'mufti."
They were delighted with the
grounds, and presently entered into
conversation with gardener, who
evidently took them for party of
'gcntlemen's gentlemen" out for a
stroll. After some little affable talk,
he could not resist the query, "Now,
who may You gents be-" WE'LL"
said the spokesman, "this gentleman
here happens to be the King of
Prussia; that one standing by your
side is the Emperor of Austria; and
as for myself, I am the Emperor of
Russia" This was carrying the
joke too far, thought the gardener.
"Ive seen lot of queer furrin
gents here lately, but this beats
me" SO he burst out in rather
rude guffaw. "Well, my FRIEND"
said the Emperor Nicholas, "you
seem amused; perhaps you will tell
us who you are" "Oh, certainly"
so taking up the skirt of his coat
with the action of a great eagle
spreading out his wings, and spin
ming round on his heels, he said, eff
you are all what you say you are

three Majesties roared with laughter,

story at the luncheon table to the

A PlTrsFIELD EDITORS POLITICAL
SCHEME.

The editor of the Pittsfield Sun
believes in making his paper attract
i've. He prefiNes the announcements
of births with the following from
Ihompson's Seasons"
Meantime a smiling offspring
rises round
And minglcs both their graces."
Burns is thus levied upon for
heading to the marriage record:
Husband, husband, cease your strife,
No longer idly rave, sir;
Though am your welded wife,
Yet am not your slave, SIR"
And above the list of deaths is Sir
Walter Raleigh's contribution:
son death and judgment, heaven
and hell
Who oft doth think, must needs
die we'll"
This is an editorial procedure
which is calculated to rob birth of it's
uncertainty, marriage Of its nonsense
and death of its terror.
