CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

When Cain his brother Abel slew.
Did God the scaffoid place in view?
When Moses killed the Master proud,
Did God condemn him 10 a shroudi
When David brave Uri&h sent.
Where bloody war his vitals rent;
Did God hang him upon a tree,
Or take away his libertyy
When Jesus came upon this earth.
And good for evil brought TO birth;
Did He uphold by any word
The law Of vengeance daily heard!
Why then should men who think 10 be
The friends Of One ca Calvary.
With rope. garrote. and gnIllotins,
And awful shock blot cut life's scene?
How can man as Christian live
Who viii not practice TO forgiveg
Fer very plain the Saviour taught
Unless we love Him. deed snd Thought,
We may not hope His grace TO claim,
Aud are but Christians in a name
