to see stop put to the wholesale destruc-

It does not seem 10 me that oar need OF

ter the half domestic birds that build in our
porch, sit in the lilac bushes, and hide in
the trees and cheer us with their song,
while they hevour the worms and insects
that infest the garden and the orchard. !
think the music, together with the insect de-
stroyiug propensities of robins and other

GENIUS AND IEsANrTY.--Th pessimism
of Johnson, Swift, Byron and Carlyle, of
Schoperhauer and Lenau, Of Leopard and
of LamarLne, may perhaps he taken as a
signal manifestation of the gloom which is
apt to compass great and elevated spirits,
like the mists which drift toward and en-
circle the highest mountain peaks. In some
cases this melancholy assumes more acute
form, giving rise to the thought and even
the act of suicide. Among those who have
confessed to have experienced the impulse
may be mentioned Goethe in The Werther
DAYS, Beethoven during the depression
brought on by his deafness, Chateaubrand
in his youth, and George Sand also in her
early days Johnsons WEAKNESS Of life WAS,
it seems certain, only prevented from de-
veloping into the idea of suicide by his
strong religious feeling and his extraordi
nary dread Of death, which was itself, per-
haps, morbid symptom. In some cases this
idea prompted to actual attempts to take
away life. The story Of Cowper's trying
10 hang himself and afterward expert
encing intense religious remorse is well
known Another instance is that OF st.
Simon, whose enormous vanity itself looks
like form of monomania, and who, in q
fit of dependency, fired pistol at his head,
happily with no graver result than the loss
of an eye. Aiieri, who was the victim of
the "most horrid melancholy" tried, on one
occasion, after being bled By surgeon, to
tear Off the bandage in order to bleed to
death. Among those who succeeded in
taking away their lives are Chatterton,
whose mind had been haunted by the idea
from early life; Kleist, the poet; Beneke,
The philosopher and Hugh Miller, the geol-
ogist.-Ninctecnth Century.
