That wealthy and cultivated Amer
lean should deliberately burn off one of
his hands as self-punishment for blow
struck in moment of causeless anger
seems incredible. Yet one of the most
promising young literary critics in New
York is now minus his left hand as re-
suit of such an extraordinary self
mutilation.
John jay Chapman struck a friend
with his left hand, and found out att
erward that his anger had been ground
less, the result of an unjust suspicion.
AT once he determined that he would
carry with himself as long as he lived a
memorial of his disloyalty and a warn
ing not to give way to unreasonable
anger again. The familiar text: IF
thy hand offend thee, cut it Off" &C.

it. And so one day he appeared with
his arm in q sling. He had held his
hand in the fire until 1t had been con-
sumed. To have it cut OF would not
