DIFFERING VIEWS OF DEATH.

1t is an interesting inquiry why civilized
man has for so long time manifested horror
Of sudden death. The Pagans knew no such
feeling but, On the contrary, they prayed for
the mode Of death which to Christians has ap-
peared so dreadful that they have formulated
special petitions for protection from it, This
fear and repugnance are certainly not grounded
in experience or reason, nor can they be said
to represent an altruistic sentiment For it is
indiSputabe that so far as the subject is con-
cerned, swift and painless death is preferable
to that which comes as the close Of lingering
illness and much physical suffering. Nor can
there be found any support in philosophy for
the apprehension of sudden and instantaneous
death, for it is clear that such a taking off
does away with all the fearful looking forward.
the agonizing anticipations, the morbid and
gloomy thoughts which beset the sufferer who
journeys slowly toward the Valley Of the
Shadow
Nor indeed is the cOmmOn-sense Of mankind
so far astray on this subject as the convent onal
position indicates Speaking in the freedom of
private conversation many persons are heard to
express the thought that they would prefer this
form Of death to any other for themselves.
CunousIy enough they fail to apply what is a
natural sentiment with them to the cases OF
others and when relative or friend is laid
on bed Of suffering, the majority would think

NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER - 1882

IL shockingly inhuman to wish for their speedy
deliyerance Evidently the fundamental idea
here is that life under any conditions is better
than death. But upon what view of death
does this idea depend? Surely not upon the
Christian view. In effect the whole way Of
thinking represented is Pagan That which is
so shrunk from is the most material and I'M
spiritual of visions. To die from this point Of
view, is "to lie in cold obstruction, and to rot"
and all the time to be conscious of what is going
on. Philosophy, religion, physiology, psy-
chology, are each and all defed and set at
naught by so crude, confused, fantastic and i'm
possible a conception. The old Greeks knew
better. Their fine sense of aestheticsm saved
them from the grOtesque combinations OF me-
diaeyal superstition and barbarous ignorance
which the modern races have inherited, and
to which they cling with scarcely suspicion
of the incongruty Of their belief
Lessing's essay upon the manner in which
the Greeks represented Death is full of instruc-
ton and suggestion upon the subject. The
grisly skeleton of the Middle Ages was repre-
scented among the lIellenes by a beautiful boy
bearing an inverted torch. Instead of symbols
OF mourning such as have come to typify
mortality, those old Pagans decately sug-
gested the passage from matter to spirit by the
figure of the butterfly rising above the rent
chrysalis. Death and Love were with them
never FAR separated, and the CANCEL of the
Darker Drink" in their graceful and subtle
mythology came often as a friend, with smil-
ing lips and welcoming hands, and never as
the froWnlng fend our morbid fancy paints him.
mere was more mSelfishness in that archaic
view than in the modern one, moreover. The
anclentS looked at Death with the ewes Of the
dying and not from the position of the sur
Vvors. Tears and grief for these there must
be- but the sorrow which pictured the departed
as a gamer by his removal was less likely to
endure than that which virtually, and despite
conventional fctions of belief, regards the dead
as not only gone forever from the RAYS of the
sum- but as relegated to some vague and misty
form OF existence beyond comprehension and
and therefore useless for consola-
ton, stimulus or hope

PROFESSIONAL OARSMENS MORALITY.

The sculling match on Friday at McKeesport
between Teemer and Gaudaur derives impoI-
lance from the fact that Gaudaur is under a
challenge from Seare for the championship of
the world, which he will probably accept eau
daur crossed the finish nearly half mile ahead
of his opponent; but the disgnceful quarrel
between Teemer and Hamm, Gaudaur'S trainer.
over the accusation that Hamm purpoSely fouled
Teemer's boat and spoiled his chances has
disguised every lover of honest and manly
sport and destroyed all interest in Gaudaur's
achievement.
Professional Oarsmen have, in fact, cOntrived
to draw upon themselves the obloquy and sus-
picion which have long attached to performers
for money in some other departments Of athlet-
les. Pugilists who arranged "fake' matches
have wonderfully intensified the popular senti-
ment against their brutal exhibitions and dis
honest jockeys and trainers have done more
than anybody else to bling horSe-racing into
disrepute. There was time, in Hanlan's
palmy days, when sculing- match between
well oarsmen was looked forward to
with as much confidence and interest as the
yearly contest between the rival Fights of Yale
and Harvard. When Hanlan wfested from
Trickett the championship of the world on the
Thames in 1880 his laurels were unstained by
suspicious of foul play. The heated allega-
tons of some of Trcket's partsans when the
Canadian won his second great victory in 1882
found no credence among the public at large; ;
and Hanlan has maintained this early reputa-
ton for candor and fair dealing throughout
the whole of his subsequent career. His bear
ing under defeat has been as manly and honor
able as it was when all the world hailed him as
invincble, and although he was never great
fayorite in the United States his withdrawal
is in this sense misfortune.
OF late, however, sporting enthusiasts have
learned to hold aloof from matches in which
the honor Of the contestants does not seem to
restrain them from attempts to impose on their
supporters. That such men as Teemer and
Gaudanr should be unable TO meet each other

The suburban resident is often the butt Of Jokes
that hinge upon his inyeterate habit of running
for trains his desperate struggling with ferocous
mosquitoes. lie might have the satisfaction OF
getting even if he could once witness the plight
of those foolish New.Yorkers and BroolIynites who
essay to cross the Bridge when it rains. On the
exposed promenade an umbrella gives no Drotec-
ton when the wind blows save to the head or
shoulders, and the man or woman who is caught
there in a driving shower is TO get thorough
drenching, Is there any good reason why sub.
stantal roof should not be put over the Bridge
footway? 1t would be useful in both storm and
sunshine, and its weight would surely not be suf-
fcient to prove obstacle in the way of carry
ing the idea into practice.
