women of a certain city, which threatened to de-
populate the place. A law was passed that the
dead body of every suicide should be dragged naked
through the streets. The dread of this exposure
overcame the epidemic.
We mentioned in the beginning of this article,
that there were more suicides in the United States,
in proportion to the population, than in any civil
lied country. The next is England, then Prussia,
France, Austria, Italy, Spain, and Russia
At the same time, there is probably larger pro-
portion Of suicides in Paris than in any Christian
city But Paris is not France, and large portion
of the entire population of the country is gay or
stupid and in any case tolerably contented peas
antry. Suicide comes from discomfort, disappoint-
ment and despair. 1t is caused by wounded APP
probatveness, or acquisitiveness-that is, from dis
appointed ambition, or love, or the pursuit of for
tune; and there are more disappointed people in
this country than any other, in proportion to the
population, simply because the great mass Of our
people are struggling for wealth, and power and
position, and fame In the same way there are
more insane people here than in any other coun-
try, because there is more excitement of the inteI
lect and passions. The European peasant, who
lives on in stupid contentmen as his fathers lived
before him, has nothing to go crazy about or kill
himself for.-Noah'S Times

Church Incident.

A few years since there dwelt in the goodly city
of New Brunswick, n. J., certain Betsey Baker,
Il very devout but at the same time very nervous
hysterical, fdgetty old maid. Now Betsey was
constant attendant of the Rev. Dr. Horne's Church.
and during the morning prayer, and in fact, at all
periods of the sermon, she was in the habit of
breaking out into CALCULATIONS, such as Glory to
God :" "Come, Lord Jesus" 'Amen! &C. &C.
and this, too in the shrest voice imaginable, We
ry much to the annoyance of the audience, and the
discontinue Of the good Dominic, whose voice, by
the by, was very similar in its tone.
1t happened one Sabbath morning that Betsey
was more than usually devout and ejaculatory; so
noisy, in truth, that the minister could stand it
longer, and he ordered some one stake the woman
out of chnrch''
Two young bucks Immediately proceeded to car
ry out the Domines wishes; one taking Betsey by
the heels and the other by the shoulders. She
made great lament, and struggled violently, and
as they brought her down the broad aisle, she
screamed out at the top of her voice, "Oh, Lord
| am treated worse than our Savior. He rode
through the streets of Jerusalem upon one ass, but
ride upon tuo.'
The Church was not in a very proper mood for
devotion, and we believe service was dispensed
with for the forenoon. As for the young bucks
they did not show themselves again at Church.

A correspondent of the Tribune relates the fol-
lowing as having occurred at "Ruth," in Indian.
Mr. Robinson sold his wife and other personal
property to Mrs Tyler, for $50, (this was night
before last) but her brother, Mr.. Hamilton, dis
senting from the trade. interered, and tried to take
his sister home with him. This rendered Mr. Iy-
ler, the purchaser, highly indignant, and he very
coolly shot said II. through the heart. Mr. Tyler
and his bought wife slept in the house-ln the
room where her dead brother lay in his blood-and
the next day he escaped. All the parties were M
toricated The Coroner said that the nelghbors
who called in to see the dead body drank about
twelve gallons of liquor-to assuage their grlet."

You and II.

BY CHARLES MACKAY.
Who would scorn his humble fellow
For the coat he wears!
For the poverty he suffers!
For his daily cares!
Who would pass him in the footway
With averted eye!
Would you, brother! No--you would not.
fyou would-not l.
Who, when vice and crime repentant,
With grief sincere
Asked for pardon, would refuse it
More than heaven severel
Who to erring woman's sorrow
Would with taunts reply!
Would you, brother! No--you would not.
Ifyou would-not l.
Who would say that all who differ
From his sect must be
Wicked sinners, heaven-rejected,
Sunk in errors sea,
And consign them to perdition
With a holy sighl
Would you, brother! No--you would not.
If you would-not l.
Would you say that SIX days cheating,
In the shop or mart,
Might be rubbed by Sunday praying
From tho tainted baart
If the Sunday face were solemn,
And the credit high!
Would you, brother! No-you would not.
fyou would-not l.
Who would say that Vice is Virtue
In a hall of State!
Or that rogues are not dishonest
If they dine off plate!
Who would say success and Merit
Ne'er part company!
Would you, brother! No-you would not.
If you would-not l.
Who would give a cause his efforts
NneD The cause Is strong,
But desert it on its failure,
Whether right or wrong!
Ever siding with the upmost
Letting downmost lie!
Would you, brother! No-you would not.
Ifyou would-not l.
Who would lend his arm to strengthen
Warfare with the right?
Who would give his pen to blacken
Freedoms page of light?
Who would lend his tongue to utter
Praise of tyranny?
Would you, brother! No--you would not.

A World of Love at Home.

The earth hath treasures fair and bright,
Deep buried in her caves,
And ocean hideth many gem,
With his blue curling waves
Yet not within her bosom dark,
Or meath the dashing foam,
Lives there a treasure equalling
A world of love at home!
True sterling happiness and JOY
Are not with gold allied;
Nor can it yield pleasure like
A merry freside.
envy not the man who dwells
In stately hall or dome,
If mid his splendor he hath not
A world of love at home.
The friends whom time hath proved sincere,
IT'S they alone can bring,
A sure relief to hearts that droop
Meath sorrows heavy wing.
Though care and trouble may be mine,
As down life's path roam,
I'll head them not while still / have
A world of love at home.

THE UNGUARDED MOMENT.

Yes, my lips tonight have spoken,
Words said they should not speak;
And would | could recall them
Would had not been so weak.
Oh, that one unguarded moment!
Were il mine to live again,
All the strength of its temptation
Would appeal to me in vain.
True, my lips have only uttered
What is ever in my heart;
/ am happy when beside him
Wretched when we are apart;
Though listen to his praises.
Always longer than | should,
Yet my heart can never hear them
Half so often as it would.
And would not, could not pain him,
Would not for the world offend,
Iwould have him know like him,
As brother, as n friend;
But meant to keep one secret
In my bosom always hid,
For never meant to tell him
That loved him-but did.

WITCHcRAFT OF WOMEN want to tell you
secret. The way to make yourself pleasing
to others, is to show that you care for them.
The whole world is like the miller at Mansfield,
who cared for nobody--not he-because no.
body cared for him. And the whole world will
serve you so, if you give them the same cause.
Let every one, therefore see that you do care
for them, by showing them what Sterne so hap
PLY calls the small, sweet courtesies," in
which there is no parade, whose voice is too
small to tease, and which manifests themselves
by the tender and affectionate looks, and little
acts of attention-giving others the preference
in every little enjoyment at the table, in the
field, walking, sitting or standing. This is the
spirit that gives to your time of life and to your
sex, their sweetest charms. 1t constitutes the
sum total of all the witchcraft of woman. Let
the world see that your first care is for yourself
and YOU will spread the solitude of the upas
tree around you, in the same way, by the ema-
nation of poison which kills all the juices of
affection in its neighborhood. Such girl may
be admired for her understanding and accom-
plshments, but she will never be beloved The
seed of love can never grow but under the
warm and genial influence Of kind feelings and
affectionate manners. Vivacity goes great
way in young persons. II calls attention to her
who displays it and if it then be found asso-
ciated with generous sensibiity, its execution
is irresistible On the contrary if it be found
in alliance with a cold, naughty, selfish heart, it
produces no further effect, except an adverse
one. Attend to this my daughter. 1t flows
from heart that feels for you all a parent can
feel, and not without the hope which consti-
tutes the parents highest happiness. May God
bless and protect you.

WORTH KNowING.--A young lady of this
city while in the country, some years ago, step
ped on rusty nail which ran through her shoe
into her foot The inflammation and pain were
of course very great, and lock-jaw was appre-
hended A friend of the family, however, rec
ommended the application of beet taken fresh
from the garden, and pounded fine to the wound.
II was done, and the effect very beneficial
Soon the inflammation began to subsde, and by
keeping on the crushed beet, changing it for a
fresh one as its virtue seemed to become impair
ed, speedy cure was effected. Simple but ef-
fectual remedies like this should be known by
every one. Phia. Paper.

DUTIES OF YoUSG MEN-It is the duty of the
young men OF the present day, to lay q good
foundation against the time that is to come-to
store their minds with good and useful informa-
ton, that will be of value to them when thew
shall be called upon to take upon themselves
the active duties of life. They should guard
against imbibing wrong principles and habits
Now, when temptations of every sort are plac-
ed before young men, If they are not exceeding
ly cautious, they will form characters which will
prove their ruin, and bring upon them disgrace
and wretchedness Of the darkest hue. And es-
pecially should they guard againstintemperance.
This habit when once formed, is the most dan
gerous Of all others, as it leads to the perpetra
ton of all sorts Of crime. Most all other bad
habits grow out of this. Young men, be very,
very, careful how you handle the glass-ere you
are aware OF it, the monster will have you firm
ly in his grasp. 1t is the duty of young men to
read and think much they should make them
selves conversant with all matters which are
transpiring in the world, so as to be able at
future day to give good account of themselves.
Young men should act-act independently but
at the same time have respect for the aged
We always like to see young man active and
energetic. He is always sure to succeed in his
business,and prosper in whatever he undertakes.
Let him first lay a good foundation, and his
course is sure to be onward and upward. Let
no man despise small eginnings-knowedge is
not the offspring of a day, but requires years of
the closest application; but unless a small be-
ginning is made, it can never be attained. Let
every young man remember this.
