GJ> Suicides have become 50 freqnont that my
explanation of tho prevalent practice is eagerly
sought for by tho public Some attribute it to
mental arrangement, and doubtless there must be
more or less of this at the foundation but still
there is somo producing cause waioh demands our
attention We have for some time been satisfied,
in our own min l. that the great cause for suicides
is to be found in the fact that society too gener-
ally respects mM just in proportion to the
length OF his purse. and those wao have ambition
for tho goo opinion of thoir fellows, and lack the
means 10y which il is to be obtained, sink into the
soughs of despair life becomes burthen to them,
and death their only source of relief That there
arc exceptions to this rule We well know, but the
worship of mammou has nevertheless demanded
the immolaton upon its glttermg altar OF many
u lonely but crushed spirit. We were led to
these reflections by reading tue following lottcr
from Wm IL, Cloves, who committed suicide 1T

pent, besliming its victim with its hateful sal
iva. A hint in many instances is sufficient
to do the work Of destruction. An iun iendo

holy impulses and pure thoughts existed. A
