SUICIDES The last two or three months
have been fruitful of suicides in this State
Every paper has contained accounts of them
In all the prominent cities, in many of the
mountain towns. on farms and ranches. have
these strange selfmurders happened What
is the cause? Is it the climate? Is it the use
Of intoxicating liquors? Is it the peculiar
disappointments incident to the country
Hardly, for the same state ofthings has been
observable all over the Union In the same
space of time, nearly every State of the Union
has had its suicides
The thing is not to be explained. Men
and women who drank have killed them
selves. Those who did not drink-have done
the same. Persons in i'll health have killed
themselves, and persons perfectly healthy, as
far as all physical matters were concerned,
have done the same Poor men and women
have killed themselves and rich ones have
done the same.
There is no criterion by which to judge of
the cause
We fancy, however, that it lies in the dis
position of the present age to disbeieve the
old established doctrines of future rewards
and punishments hell and heaven, and the
like. Thousands rely, uow a.days, upon q
future state in which the soul enjoys its i'm
mortality, without fear of any responsibility
for the deeds done in the body Consequent

condition upon earth. they rush into eternity
in order to be happy.
Be this ms it may suicides are becoming
fearfully frequent Scarcely any Temporal
disappointment is too light to justify, in its
own estimation, the exit of an immortal soul
into the realms of death. 1t seems that hu-
man beings become impatient of the little
trials to which they are subjected in this sub
lunary world and desire a change for the
better. N suicide we think ever cuts the
tie of existence which binds him to the earth
without either confident hope of happiness
hereafter or the boon of annihilation. Be
tween the two possibilities, of eternal being
hereafter in a world which knows no heaven
OF hell, and absolute and unendinG destruc-
uon OF all conseiousness,-a condition in
which the soul shall lie in "Cold Obstruc-
tons apathy,"-knowing and feeling moth
ing, the graveyard is pretty we'll supplied
with the victims of self-murder. Andit NAV
not be supernuous to say that the believers
in the above named possibilities, in this pres.
ent age of the world, are not few.
The Bangor, Me, papers chronicle a most
painful affair. which occurred recently in the
town of Dexter, near that city. 1t was that OF
the abduction of young daughter of the
Rev. j. F. Witherell by brother clergyman,
the Rev. William S. Cilley. Cilley managed
to get the girl into carriage with him, by

A YOUNG MAN WITH AN OLD HEAD.

A YOUNG MAN WITH AN OLD HEAD.
The Yicksburg Sun has the following:
The Baton Rouge Advertiser says that
our remark about Gov. Foote, whose hair we
nverred becomes backer, and his political
principles darker, as he grows older, recalls
the following anecdote at the expense of the
renowned perpatetic wind bag:
Last winter the ex Governor was figuring
about tile parlors of the St Charles Hotel,
in New Orleans, in flowing wig of dark
brown locks, and all enormous beard and
moustache of the deepest jet, which would
have done loror to a Grenadicr of the
French Imperial Guard. As he passed the
large mirror, he never failed to cast an ad
miring look at bis own reflection, and not
only smiled at himself, but was the cause OF
laughter in others who beheld him. 0ne
evening be joined II group of gentlemen who
surrounded young and charming belle,
and soon addressed some remarks to her
She returned look of quiet surprise, as if
she did not know him. "Why, Miss -
said our venerable chamoion, "you don't
seem to knew me-"
ooh, yes" said she apologctically, "thore
is something quite familiar to me in your
voice, but really / can't recall your name. "
"My n Ime, Miss -, is Foote."
"Ah now understand It, once knew
Gov. Foote, OF Mississippi but did not know
that he had son 80 young as you are"
"Thank you, Miss, / owe you one" said
the great orator, as he turned away, for
even his self possession was not proof against
che wit Of the mischievous belle.
Foote wanted to 60 abroad as Minister
Mr.. Buchanan kept him at home, where he
could be laughed at without loss Of national
character. Finding that be could not get
once under the Administration, he has Joined
in the attack made upon it by Douglas,
Pierre Scale, Plgarlic, and their illustrious
compeers, 1t won't be riskng much to say
that they will fail in their und rtaking, that
the country will not suffer much thereby,
and that Henry S, Foote won't beat Mr.
Singleton for Congress.

DEATH To THE BUGs.-The following
remedy is said to be infalible: Take two
pounds of alum, bruise it, and reduce it
nearly to powder; dissolve it in three quarts
of boiling water, letting it remain in warm
place till the alum is dissolved. The alum
water is to be applied hot, by means of a
brush to every joint and crevice. Brush the
crevices in the floor of the skirtiug beard, il
they are suspected places; whiteEash the
ceiling, putting in plenty of alum and there
will be an end to their dropping from
thence.
