he can get up in the morning, build

uuman nature Is proverD1alIy lncon-
sistent. 1t applauds the virtuous, but
when question Of material help arises
it would seemingly rather aid the
vicious. Thousands are perishing
around us daily whose only crime is
that they are poor, and yet there is
little sympathy for them, even from
their relatives and former friends, and
no helping hand is stretched forth to
aid them; but if these same people
should commit some heinous odense
and fall into the clutches of the law,
there would be no lack of sympathy or
substantial aid.
Let man, for instance, become a
murderer, and, no matter how much of
an outcast he may have been before he
became weighted with the curse of
Cain, he straightway becomes an object
of interest. Sympathizers apparently
spring up at every corner, and money
is poured forth to prove his innocence
or to miti9ata.-t the Justice of his sen
of those who neglected him before, and
the taking of fellow-creatures life,
for very slight provocation or no
provocation at all, advances him q
thousand fold in the estimation of the
world.
He becomes distinguished man, and
the conservatory uIId tho preserve closet
are rified of their contents to soothe
his hours of imprisonment. Philan-
thropic ladies flock around him, and
tender-hearted and soft-headed men, or
those anxious for notoriety, come for
ward to cheer him. They have little
or no thought of the poor victim who
has suddenly been sent to his account
with "all his imperfections on his head,
but for the murderer they have kind
words, which makes him think that he
is noble fellow after all, who has not
molted feather from his angelic
wings by violating the laws of God and
man. If he has been sentenced, petl-
tions circulate for commutation, and
poured forth on tfdsde sdengpGietIqeRfs III Gef vic affe
have resisted all appeals.
We do not wish to be unmerciful; we
would not add to the misery of those
whose evil passions and vicious courses
of life have led them into crime; but
for the protection of society and the
innocent we feel called upon to con-
denim, in the most uncompromising
terms, the demoralizing sympathy that
is bestowed upon the man who sheds
human blood. It encourages those
with murderous instincts to give way
to their sinful impulses, and leads them
to believe that they will escape severe
punishment for their misdeeds. through
the efforts of perhaps well-meaning hut
mistaken men. Let the full penalty
for murder be more strictly enforced.
and the report of the deadly pistol will
become a novelty in the land; that is,
if we do not insist upon elevating muir
derers into grand and heroic proper
