How to stop Suicide.

The victim OF the suicidal napin is lit
orally 'possessed;;" he may be unable 10
use his mind skilliully in any other way
but his preparations for suicide are often
30 admirably thorough as to evince long
and clear thought. For self-protection,
therefore, the person who contemplates
suicide. or even i nagines the act posi-
BILE should vail MIN self at once of all
possible rest, food and recreation, until
his energies seem to him equal to great
endeavor. When this state of mental
health is reached, suicide will have faded
from the mind, eve though troubles
MAJ have thickened in the mean time.
If, however, self destruction is already
determined upon, the time set for the
deed should be far in advance, for. ex-
cept in case of a mind permanently
weakened, it is possible that chance will,
almost without permonition, suddenly
put the victim again in control Of him
self. 1t is said that a Paris physician
has prevented many cases OF suicide by
prescribing change Of air for patients
who fear to be left alone: his principle
being that change OF air almost invariably
induces longer hours of sleep, and that
sleep is the best restorative for ailihg
minds. 1t is certain that no one was
ever known to commit suicide in the
morning following a long right of nat
ural slulnber. 1t is necessary that the
causeso fsui ide should be studio i; but
the custom is beco ming SO common that
it suggests itself readily to many persons
who never would have thought of it had
it not been bro0ght to their attention by
others. If %destitution. temporary phys
ical exhaustion, financial embarrassment
unreouited affection, low spirits and
desperation were. of themselves, sufi-
Gent to cause suicide-and they are the
causes generally assigned-why do
soldiers in the field, and farmers during
the working season, never kill them

News relates this characteristic anec-
dote OF the common tithlng system and
its founder:
When Brigham Young was alive. he
collected his tenth of the farmer with a
persist"ncv that stopped at nothing.
On one occasion. he called before him a
subject who has since removed to this
state, and said
Brother Blank, YOU have not brought
in my wheat this year."
IL didn't RISE a single bushel," was
the reply.
Then III take it in oats"
II have none"
"Well hay will do"
81 have no hay.
Then bring in potatoes or corn"
Both crops were a failure, O wise
Prophet. All | have off my farm are
ten bushels of onions, and OF course the
Lord doesn't want onions"
"Mayhe not" growled the old man;
"but you bring me in a bushel and we'll
take the risk Of it."
Mr.. Blank said that it was that bushel
of onions which convinced him that
there was somthing suspicious about old
Brigham's inspirations.
The incident If it be true. exhibits the
spirit of the so-called prophet, bu' in a
good cause the giver shows the right
principle who offers his part Of what he
has, however simple it may be.

Pulling Hard Against The Stream
For The Commonwealth

For The commonwealth
In this world I've gained my knowledge
And for it I've had to pay,
Though I've never been to college,
Yet I've heard the poet say.
Life is like mighty river
Rolling on from day to day,
Men are vessels launched upon 1t,
Sometimes wrecked and cast away
Many bright, good hearted fellow,
Many undetermined man,
Finds himself in water shallow
Then assist him if you can.
Some succeed at every turning;
Fortune favorS every scheme,
Others though much more deserving,
Have t. pull hard against the stream.
If the wind Is in your favor
And you've weathered every squall,
Think of those vino (uckless sailors)
Never get fair winds at all
Working hard. contented. willing.
Struggling through life's ocean wide,
Not friend and not shilling,
Pulling hard against the tide.
So don't give way to foolish sorrow,
Let this keep you in good cheer,
Brighter days may come tomorrow
If you'll strive to persevere.
The darkest night must have q morning,
| Though the sky be overcast;
The longest lane must have turning,
| And the tide will change at last.
So do your best for one another,
Making life pleasant dream:
Help worn and wearied brother
Pulling hard against the stream.
