Return that borrowed buck or umbrella

you have not done it before.
There is 20 moral obligation binding you
to let everybody you talk with know when

Don't lick that borrowed lead pencil,

MEN, WOMEN AND SUICIDE en-
ere everywhere becomipg more weary of
the burdens of life. Authorities on ssni :
tation and vital statistios tell us that of late
years life, the average human life, has been
considerably prolonged by greater attention
to the means of preserving health; yet,
| concurrent with this Improvement, there
ore greater impatiencc of life itself and a
greater desire to escape it's burden. Wo.
men are less prone to com mit suicide in
Europe thnu men, aud extensive in7estiga-
ton on the subject has convinced Signor
horsclli that the tendency to suicide in
creascs with ago moro strongly among the
unmarried and widowed than among the
married of both sexes. Tho following
tabIe curiousIy illustrates this fact: Among
million Of persons of each class 10 Eu-
rope, generally, in go far as the returns
cnublcd him to compare them, the follow
ing numbers committed suicide:
Married men with children 205
| Married men without children 470
Widowers with children 526
Widowers without children 1904
Married women with children As
Married women without children 158
Widows with children l04
idows without children 238
Women cling to life much more strongly
than men, aud that under the most wra.ch
ed conditions. A ohildless widow would
appear to bo far moro desolate in tho world
than widower similarly situated; yet she
bears her loneliness better-doubtless fron
her religious restraints. or from possessing
II larger measure Of that hope which springs
eternal in the human breast.

cultural Hall and a Church Burned -Adjoin-
ing buildings Damaged.
Jan. 3l.--At 4.55 A. NJ, fire was discovered
ON the south side OF Beth Eden Baptist
Church, at Broad and Spruce streets. Three
alarms were sounded, but before the engines
all arrived the flames communicated to the
Horticultural Hall, which is separated from
the church by twelve-foot alleyway. Both
buildings were soon wrapt in flames, and
southerly wind communicated the fire to the
houses on Spruce street. The first of these to
take fire was that of Edward Maule, adjoining
the church. The back buildings were de-
stroyed, and the front was delnged with
water, causing loss of $40, 600. No. 1,411,
occupied as boarding house by Miss Mary
il. Simmons, was damaged badly by water.
The interior of ,402, owned and occupied by
Thomas S. Fernon, was ruined, causing a
loss of $500 Nos. l ,404 and l,406, occn-
pied respectively by Mrs Shaw and Mrs Gill
more, were badly damaged by water. Before
8 o'clock the interiors of both horticultural
Hall and the church were in ruins, and a part
of the walls of the latter had fallen. The
church cost $4,000 and the organ $780,
The furniture was insured for SO, 900 in the
Lumberman's Company of this city, but in
sufance on the remaining church property
was placed by members of the congregation
horticultural Hall was sold at public sale last
summer for $4,000. 1t is insured for $780,
600.
Beth Eden Baptist Church was Gothic
structure, formed mostly of greensboro,
trimmed with red sandstone aud marble, aud
had cost SO far the sum of 1856, LAT. The
total loss by the fire is about $4,000.

A Neglected Parrot.

At Jackson, Mich, lives n venerable
parrot, near the depot shed, very wag
and vixen of the deepest dye. Polly
amuses herself daily on the arrival of
the trains, when the ''lie-over' passen-
gers are waiting in the reception room,
by uttering the most frantic and tor
turing screams, like two-year-old ba-
by being pitilessly logged by its low
ing mamma. So natural are these
screams that you feel sure that you can
hear the accompanying blows. and
many sympathizing man and woman
are often taken in, done for and sold
OUT by this wicked bird.
ssWhat a horrid MOTHER" said a ner-
vous old lady one day last week, ''to
beat her child that way. l can't stand
it; I'll go and stop it
The old lady made her way to the
room, opened the door, and was salut-
ed with fiendish laugh and an injunc-
ton as Polly swung in her ring:
''Oh, lordy. lordy; damn it all, mind
your own business.
Tue old lady thought Polly was a
very bad bird and had had her morals
sadly neglected, while everybody
laughed at the good dame, who had
gone out on fools errand' to med
die with somebody else's business. -

Bad Thoughts.

Bad thoughts, if cherished. blight
virtue, destroy purity, and undermine
the stablest foundations of character
They are like rot in timber; like rust IN
iron. They eat into the man. And
when the process has gone on for
while, and there comes the stress OF an
outward temptation, down they go into
q mass of ruin! Ships go out to sea, all
bright with fresh paint, their sails all
spread and streamers flying, and never
come back. never reach port WhyP They
met a storm and went down, because
they were rotten. Under the paint was
decay! just so bad thoughts, vile, I'M
pure thoughts and imaginations, rot
the manly oak of character, rust the
iron of principle. slacken all the stays
of virtue, and leave the man, the wo-
man, to the violence of temptation,
with no interior of reserve power TO
withstand the shock. Bad thoughts
fed and fattened are the bottom vice OF
society.
