The Powers of a Hymn.

In one of tie hospitals Of Edinburgh
lay wounded Scotch soldier The sur
geons had done all they could for him.
He had been told that he must die.
He had contempt for death and prided
himself on his fearlessness in facing it.
A rough and wicked life, with none
but evil associates, had blunted his SEN
sibilities, and made profanity and scorn
his second nature. To hear him speak,
one would have thought he had no
piously-nurtured childhood to remem-
Der, and that he had never looked upon
religion but to despise it. But it was
not so.
A noble and gentle hearted man came
to see the dying soldier. He addressed
him with kind inquiries, talked to him
tenderly of the life beyond death, and
offered spiritual counsel. But the sick
man paid no attention or respect. He
blunt]y told him that he did not want
any religious conversation.
"You will let me pray with you, will
you not :" said the pious gentleman at
length.
"No; l know how to die without the
help of religion" And he turned his face
to the wall.
Further conversation could do no good,
and the man did not attempt it. But he
was not discouraged. After moments
silence, he began to sing The old hymn,
SO familiar and so dear to every congre-
CATION in Scotland:
90. mother, dear, Jerusalem,
When shall come to thee?"
He had pleasant voice, and the words
and melody were sweet and touching a.
he sung them. Pretty soon the soldier
turned his face again, but its hardened
expression was oil gone.
"Who taught you that ?" he asked,
when the hymn was done.

Why Was She Weary of Life.

81 am wear of life," is the sad echo
that comes from the heart of woman
who died by her own hand. Why was
she weary of life This is no idle ques-
ton for sentimenralists. 1t is question
that concerns statesmen, business men
and philosophers. When human beings
Kill themselves because they are weary
of life, something is wrong that ought
to be corrected. 1t may be that this self
murderer was ignorant of the laws Of
health, and if SO the blame lies to great
extent with the medical faculty Medi-
cal schools are established and sustained
by public benefcence, and doctors owe
the public something more than paid at
tendance. They have gained knowledge
at the expense of the public, and they
should repay the debt by instructing the
people on the laws of health. Perhaps
she was robbed and wronged by the
powerful. ESQ, she ought to have been
protected by lawyers, for they, too, were
the charity students of the public, edu-
Gated at the general expense. She may
have lacked practical knowledge of the
''art of getting along" and if so, those
who have mastered the art ought to
have succored her in the day OF trial.
They, too, have been educated at the
expense Of the public, and they have no
moral right to repudiate their obligations
to society. Every business man has
been a charity student, and he owes
debt of gratitude to the masses who
have sustained the public schools, and
system Of government that made it pos
sible for him to make money. Perhaps
she was burdened by an inheritance of
morbid humors. If SO, she needed
cheer from humane people, and if other
mothers stood aloof in her hour Of need,
they share her guilt whatever that may
be.
Civilization, in any decent sense Of
the word, is superior to barbarism only
as it takes cognizance Of and supple
ments human infrmi;ies, ard no people
have a right to call themselves civilized
who permit human beings among them
to die Of WEAKNESS. And yet. even in
the Joyous sunlight of California, hun.
dreds of human beings die every year
by their own hands, sending back to US
the message, II am weary of life.
Have We ex,inguished all the human
tiles Are we being transformed by
the Chinese, who cast their sick into the
streets 10 die ike dogs Every instance
of self-murder is reproach to our civil
ization--an infection that fixes moral
leprosy upon our institutions.
