< 'A I'l TA L PUN I HEMES T.
The New York Evening 1’ost reviews
| tile argument for and against capital pun
ishment, in a recent editorial, which con
cludes as follows:
There are argument* on both sides of
this question ; and the mere presentation
of one view or of another, on general
grounds, does not seem to ns to advance
the discussion. The real is-uc is one of
fact; which kind of punishment for the
highest crimes is practically the most ef
ficient, taking into account all the circum
stances of each nation ? It is by the an
; swer that the science of statistics gives to
this inquiry that the legislation of an in
telligent people ought- to be controlled.
: No one believes that any penalty less
1 than death would have been sufficient in
barbarous ages to repress crime. No one
believes that the death-penalty will be
always necessary: in fact, the progress
, of civilization has open steadily marked
by its diminished free uency and iuiportar.ee.
I Hut the question whether any particular
nation is as yet sufficiently advanced tor
its entire abolition is one which only sta
tistical science can iulh determine.
Now, capital punishment has already
been uboli-lied in Tuscany, in l’orlugal, in
! several ol the small (banian principalities,
and in three or four Mates of this I'nion.
In I’ortugal there has been a steady de
crease in the number of otfcuci - against
life; inJlichivan the authorities and the
; people sustain the law : in Ittis-ia crime
has been dtniini.-ln it as the pi",ml < ode has
iieen limde less severe; and in England
the initdf r punishments of recent times
have been made far nit re effectual than
the generalilisjmsition to hang wa-of old.
In fact, nearly all the official intoimatioii
now accessible, upon the etfeet exerted
upon the murderous classes by the threat
and tin' inllicticuof difl't.rent kindsofpun
; Islam nt, seems to indicate that, in prac
tice, the gallows is cm n* le useful, a. a
; safeguard to life, ti m the juit.

A youi: ’■ man running in debt is a pain
ful sight. I'li • disposition to do this is
the ton runner and exponent of ail evil.
Apostolic authority says, “The love of
money is the root ot‘ all evil,” lint when
a young man loves money so •..■ell as to yet
. il while knowing he cannot repay, or be
willing to take it before he has honestly
earned it. there is, in most eases, lying
bellitnl this, some passion so strong as to
thus overbear his moral principles, in
| clamoring lor its indulgence. PI asure,
especially unlawful pleasure, is a perilous
thing. J.awiul, necessary and healthful
j pleasure, like the pure mountain air, ami
i the gushing waters ol the mountain spring,
; have been made accessible by our Creator
’ at comparatively little trouble anti expense.
I Any indulgence may be know n as unlaw
ful when it can be reached only !>y run
uing in debt. The highway of*.sin is an
| expensive* road to travel. The fare, the
! charges, are all high. And they have to
he paid twice over, not only in currency,
; out also in something more precious than
gold, quarried from the depths and springs
of our being. Mo person ever travelled on
i that highway, so attractive in prospect,
without becoming bankrupt, and pawning
his “H ii peace and. life, long before he got
j to the end of his joumev.
Whenever a young man, however mod
era'..' his salary, is seen always cramped
I for money, and ready to borrow of his
j triends.he is surely on the don award grade
of virtue and respectability. Willingness
to run in debt is itself a great vice. It is
caused by the wish to gr. tily the unlawful
. raving lying behind, perhaps undisclosed
I to the eyes of the world.’ Kxperieuced
nun readily judge what this wsinful money
indicates; and.lmwevi r fair your character
i may seem in other respects* they will lie
satisfied, from tiiis alone, that there is some
I hidden taint and unsoundness. However
-mall your income, always live within your
.means. There is tar less unhappiness in
1 doing without even necessary things, than
there is in the consciousness of being in
j debt. Herodotus says, that among the
ancient Persians, *■ t’o tell a lie is consid
. .-red by them the gr atest disgrace ; next
to that to be in del):; and tins, for many
reasons, but especially because they think
that one who runs in debt must, of neces
sity, tell Acs." Does your experience, your
conscience, tell you this is true ?
Always keep an unspent and impawned
dime in the bottom of your pocket. Its
| touch will always be invigorating; aud,
with talismanic power, semi through your
1 soul energy, making you oarrv a counte
nance flushed with honorable frankness.
This simple dime is invaluable, as the sym
bol of manly independence. The conscious
ness of debt in a young man, begets ineip
j ient meanness of character, and, when
continued, develops this into a continued
habit, tainting the whole nature. A mau
yet in his prime, who has accumulated a
fortune ol two millions by honest industry,
said, “1 began with a ilcUruumwion to
keep all my wages. W hen getting only
twenty-live cents a day, l always saved
something." This principle has carried
him, and will carry you, to high elevation
of character, to great inlluenre, and to in
dependent fortuue.—The Occident.
