OLD TIME PUNISHMENTS.
Cold Water Baths Helped to Cure
Swearing and ScoIding.

| Cold Water Baths Helped to Cure
Swearing and ScoIding.
To punish child in such a way that

tween the correction and the fault is
one of the precepts of modern educa-
ton. The judge of the eighteenth CEN
fury was not worried by such psy-
Geological theories, but his decisions
| often had the grim humor of fitness.
What could be better for the scold
than a cooling plunge or for the wife
beater than few lashes on his own
back?
| A number of tender handed English
gallants joined pioneer expedition to
Virginia. The weather was cold and
the work hard. When these soft mus
cled young men were set at chopping
trees their hands were sorely blistered
by the ak helves. With the cries Of
pain many oaths were heard.
The president of the company soon
put a stop to this swearing by ordering
a can Of cold water to be poured down
/ the sleeve of the guilty one at every
oath he uttered.
In colonial days hog stealing was
considered one of the most serious of
crimes. At the first offense the thief's
ears were slit, at the second his ears
were nailed to pillory, and at the
third he suffered death without bene-
fit of clergy"
Deceitful bakers and careless fish
dealers had to close their ears" while
he who spoke detracting words had
his tongue bored by bodkin.

of ducking stool sentence:

The white man owned the negro
Way back in slavery days;
The nigger now owns us,
1t appears to be all the craze.
His footsteps in our paths,
He's always in the way;
He cuts wider swath
Since emancipation day.
We're tired of his actions,
The ugly, burly brute;
We are becoming fractions,
We have desire to shoot.
Can't trust him with our women,
His actions are far from just;
We lynch him with weapons,
We burn his dirty crust.
The darned old wretch,
He cuts no figure
He's only niger.
The negro is no higher
Than he was firmly placed;
We dragged him from the mire,
Upon freedoms crest he graeed.
We run with his old women,
Counted her among our friends;
Our regulations were then even,-
Bad luck came to an end.
There's no white man as low
AS the niger dared to be;
The 'whites' must have the show,
To this we all agree.
We are white and cant help it,
No excuse for "hoodlum nig;"
He's black because he chose it,
He's not even worth fig.
The old black witch,
He cuts no figure,
He's only Niger.
We never 'buse the women folk,
Nor take advantage Of
This really is no joke.
'Tisn't hard for us to prove
That the Niger creates the muss
In which we heavily fall;
But we fix the emery cuss,
We bring him to his pail.
He has no biz here anyhow,
1t never was intended
That his race should ever grow,
Nor his ways should ere be mended,
Though in secret we know the negress,
Make her just as good as we,
Nobody else's business,
- Secrets behind the family tree.
The hideous black patch,
He cuts no figure,
He's only niger.
When Gabriel blows his silver horn
And DER the land he toots;
When in the light of a judgment morn
And we all the angels meet;
With our spirits aglow
And high in Heavens dome
Well glance tar down below
Where the mig is lett at home,
And see him wrappedlin torment
It's all that he deserves;
Well then have the fuliillment,
Our only wish for the dirty cur
Of all the things against him
We never have taken back,
Is the one earthly sin
That he was born so black.
We glory in the hell he'll catch,
He cuts no figure,
He's only niger.
