A HheelInr suicide Rebuked.

From the N. Y. World OF 18th.
The selHshnesq OF suicides is getting to
be really disgusting. No other class Of
people exhibit such an utter want of that
hconsideratiou for the feelings Of others"
which has been defined to be the essen.
tiai characteristic ofa gentleman, 1t was
only tho other day that a boor In Ohio
abused the hospitality Of his sister.in.law
by cutting his throat in her best bed
room. And now comes a cooper in West
Virginia who hangs himselfin tho shop OF
his employer, and leaves that unfortunate
mechanic q note with this injunction;
"Clean me up, and put suit Of clean
clothes on me-" A man who Is too much
Of q sloven or a sluggard TO wash and
dress himself while alive, but enough Of
an egotist to impose upon his neighbOrs
tho trouble of making him look decent
afler he Is dead, deserves no consideration
ut all. These people seem TO consider
that their desert towards mankind In
leaving II Is so great that they have
claim for all sorts Of unreasonable ser.
vices In consideration Of that boon. But
az the rate they are going their suicidal
deaths will soon come to be considered
almost as great calamity as the Continu.
anCe Of their lives.

Is RELIGION BEAUTIFUL always in the
child, in the maiden, the mother. Religion
shines with a benignant beauty of its own,
which nothing on earth can mar. Never yet
was female character perfect without the steady
faith of piety. Beauty, intellect, wealth they
are like pitfalls, dark in the brightest day, un-
less the divine light, unless Religion throws its
soft beam around them to purify and exalt,
making twice glorious that which seemed all
loveliness before.
Religion is very beautiful-in health and
sickness, in wealth or in poverty.
We can never enter the sick chamber OF the
good but soft music seems to float on the air,
and the burden of the song is, Go peace is
here"
Could we look into thousands of families to-
day, where discomfort fights sullenly with life,
we should find the chief cause Of unhappiness,
want of Religion in woman.
And in felons' cells, where crime, misery,
destruction and ignorance is, we behold in all
its deformity the fruit of irreligion in woman.
Oh, Religion benignant mystery, high on
thy throne thou sttest glorious and exalted.
Not above the clouds, for earth clouds come
never between the and truly pious souls; not
beneath the clouds, for above these is heaven,
opening through broad vista of exceeding
beauty.
