Only so many murders; so many burglaries, so many suicides, tan be committed in a given time by a given number of people. This is the law, proved by the exception that crimes of certain kinds occasionally wax and wane, become epidemic like some dis eases, and having had their run,' almost cease. This must be the high noon of One cannot take up a paper without seeing an account of one case at least, and often of several. A Chicago paper finds reports of six suicides rnr one day among its local exchanges, and another reports four Cause of one of these, as given, pecuniary emliarrassment ; of the second, disagreement with her husbands family ; fear of becoming a burden to his children of the third ; the fourth was ensclT-murdc-r. tered cause unknown. A few days since an unknown lady committed suicide at a New York hotel, because she had no money and nothing to do. And still later, at another Gotham hotel, a geu seats himself in his bath tub and shoots a pistol ball in among his vitals, lie felt too poor to live any longer, but had taken the precaution to insure his life for $10,000, the story doesnt say for whom. The epidemic of suicide has been running ever since the war was fairly over, anti it seems to get worse rather than better. The excitement of the war times has died out. Habits of fast living, then contracted, bring men into ynancial distress, which is doubtless the most common cause of Suicide has generally been regarded as criminal by civilized people. In England, in the good old times, the sui, as a cide was buried at the fearful-exapie, we suppose. The Catholics deny the right of Christian burial Hamlet got very to the wroth with the priest who refused it to Ophelia. On the other band, the Hindus, under a religious excitement voluntarily produced, drown themselves in the Indus and Ganges, en mass. The Bible speaks of some suicides, though not specially ill a tone of commendation. Indeed, it debars them from entering the KingJob was strongly dom of Heaven. pushed, but he resisted the temptation and the advice of hi3 wife, perhaps beSamson is the cause she advised-i- t. mennoblest case of tioned in the Bible. Pulling down that marble temple on his head, and burying three thousand of his enemies in its How it conruins was magnificent. trasts with the episode of Judas, who sold the Lord for thirty cents, and tbeu hanged himself! Saul and his armor-beare- r falling on their swords on the lost field of Gilboa, was quite becoming the personages and the occasion. Cato, who wouldnt survive the ruin of his country, was one of the notable suicides of the world. And Lucretia, the victim of Tarquin, who could not live with her dishonor. These examples, go to prove that a person may take his own life in a sane mind, though perhaps not in a good mood. There are men who would be better if they wore not so good. 44 Keen, earnest, onward, says the Itev. - Robert Collier, not satisfied to be below their own ideal, they are yet turned so wofully this way and that by adverse circumstances that, at the last, they come to accept their life as a doom, and bear it iu grim siTence ; or they cut the masts when the storm comes, and drift a helpless hull broadside to the breakers, There to go down finally like a stone. are a legion of men ready to indorse Kiug Solomous estimate of life ; who feel that it is weary, and death a dead dark wall ; who have come to consider the forces of life and nature things that grind on so immutably as to leave them no heart to pray or struggle. They want happiness acd rest. In what do they consist ? . In the subjugation of the passions, in well and bravely performing the duties and bearing the responsibilities of life. It requires more courage to keep endeavoring to do this, often, than to die. How much of that weariness which turns the heart to stone is caused by bad food and drink, we are every day experiencing ; how much by. the cares that inefst the day & leisure evening at home attests. Sometimes gloomy visions come with the shadows of lonely evenings, when, as Holland says, we mnst wait, and with the mists of the morning these terrors will vanish. Yes, says one, but w hat's the good of waiting, or not waiting ? What is the end and aim. of tie-ma- n self-destructio- cross-roads- m self-murdere- r. self-destructio- n it all? ' Draper repeats the simile of the Hindu philosopher i He , who stands on the bank of a flowing river, sees, iu their order, the- - varions ports as they glide by,' but he who is placed on an' exalted station, views, at a glance, the whole as a motionless silver thread among the ; -- fields. - ' Man, young, is bnoyed with hope and expectation, he dreams of . free-wiand of accomplishing something. Old, he perceives that Fate' has been uxing him for unknown ends, that he was brought into the world without leave asked r required, and is departing from it against his will. He discerns that he has been struggling against a stream, which has silently and resistlessly borne him to a shore.' Oh that this too, too solid flesh would melt, thaw, and resolve itself into a dew, or that the Almighty had not fixed his canon gainst 1 For we are of the stuff that dreams are made of and our little life is rounded with a sleep. What does it all amount to? Creating involuntarily, heritors of our sorrows and vanities, for that all is vanity is the secret verdict of many a human heart besides Solomons. The fear of what dreams may come in that sleep of death, when we have shuf- " y A f. i .r I f' pre-determin- self-slaught-er fled off this mortal coil, gives many pause, who would doubless not else wiihold their hand from taking their own life. It is hard to say I hall go my ways, tread out my measure, Fill the davn of my daily breath With fugitive tiling, not good to treasure, Do a the a ortd doe, say as it saith" just because we must, to be like the But it is best. A suicide may be regretted, never admired. Let us adopt the Frenchmans idea, Life is too short rest. for one to have time for impatience with it; or join that mob, ' if we haven't al- ready, of which another writer says, that bv the time thev have discovered the emptiness of life living has become a fatal habit. At least never let us comhari-karmit i except as Samson did grandly. Better live neglected than die despised. And finally, the practice of pure and undefiled religion to visit the widow and the fatherless in their affliction, and to keep ourselves unspotted from the world, if earnestly endeavored, will prove an effective panacea for Solomons view of life.
