THE LATEST FROM THE
SUNNY SOUTH.

For some time past there has been
decided movement in favor of "clean
faces" today it has become craze. 1t
originated in the state capitol and bids
fair to sweep the state like an epidemic
or a cyclone. The moustache is doomed,
the cry is 'FFree Silver and clean faces
1t is fashionable fad and political
fad combined. God knows where it
will end. Women as a rule prefer a
clean shaven man, which accounts for
its popularity socially, and the fact
that both candidates for the presidency
are clean shaven accounts for its pOpu-
larity politically. Be that as it may,
the evidence is here and from the way

life. To such, this earth is only tenn
porary abiding place in which to pre-
pare for the future life to come. The
loss of wealth, loss of loved ones, sor-
rows of all kind are easily borne by
one who has an abiding faith in God.
The majority of those who are de-
pressed in spirits or who harbor
thoughts of self-destruction are either
unbelievers or so-calied Christians,
who display an apathy in regard to the
power Of God to heal their hearts and
soothe their sorrows. No man or wom-
an ever prayed fervently to God and
was not consoled. To such a one the
idea of self murder is abhorrent, yet
death has no terrOrs for them.

fidence and tranquility, believing it to

ginning of all happiness: reunion

cYN1c1sM.

The best elements OfmOdern thought
are now discussing the question of So
cial purity with renewed vigor and
deeper interest. Suggestions and rem
edies have been advanced, some with
the virtue of originality but nearly all
but local in their scope. Difficulties
arise and wide difference of opinion
develop on the part of honest and
thoughtful men and women, who have
sought by various and conflicting
methods to evolve higher moral
standard than now exists. In the pros
ecution of this work the greatest OBJ
stace to progress is the discouragine
cynicism displayed not only by social
offenders but by people who are sup
posed to be leaders in moral and ma
terial advancement. The remedy fol
this evil is the intoxicating of higher
regard for sociological subjects among
the more intelligent and liberal minded
classes of society whose means, intlu
ence and abilities enlarge their oppor
tunities for elevating the trend OF
thought. Very often poverty can teacf

it's miseries, but to impress sincerit!
of tone the higher must be the instruct
or of the lower. This cynicism ofwhicl
we hear so much, would sacrifice th'
soul on the altar of pessimism and de
grade mankind to the level of brutes.

LOOKING FOR RETURNS.

There are certain classes of actions,
good and advantageous in themselves
when performed openly and in their
rightful spheres, but which become ut
terly changed in character when they
sail under each others colors. Such
are those which come under the head
of trade and generosity. Now, trade
is in itself honorable and beneficial.
Happily the absurd prejudice which
stamps it as an inferior occupation in
certain aristOcracies is unshared by us.
Buying and selling and other fair ex-
changes form an important part of
our civilization. But they must be
open and above board, as well as just
and fair, to command our respect.
When the spirit of trade seeks to hide
itself under the false semblance OF
generosity it is altogether despicable.
Trade and generosity are not antago-
nistic, but their spheres are distinct.
Generosity, to deserve the name. com
prises the desire and the effort to ben
eft others, without reference to self;
while the object of honorable trade is
to make and secure equitable returns.
Some persons mix these up in most
discreditable manner. Although not
themselves generously inclined, they
vet wish to obtain reputation for
generosity, and thus endeavor to strike
good bargain by comforting favors,
which they hope will be returned in
full measure. Sometimes they ven
ture to express this in a more or less
guarded manner, reminding the re-
ceiver of past kindness, and suggest
ing the way in which he can manifest
his gratitude. If the hint is not taken
reproaches may follow and ill-feeling
may ensue; but if such one succeeds
in extorting the benefit he desires, he
may have driven a sharp bargain, but
he has neither shown good business
principles nor generous impulses. Still
more often the same thoughts ano
hopes exist in full force but remain
unexpressed. A favor is conferred
and a return of some kind is silently
expected. If it does not appear there
is keen disappointment, and sense o.
failure none the less severe that the!
are cherished in secret.
Sometimes, indeed, this desire for
: return of favors and services does no
; include any material benefit, but onl!
exacts need of gratitude. One wh'
has done kindly action may not wisl
for an equivalent, but he does expec
to receive hearty thanks and to discov

FRESHNESS OF FEELING.

Freshness of feeling is one of the
most charming characteristics of
middle-aged man or woman. We are
all familiar with men and women, not
out of the twenties, who have the air
of having exhausted all the resources
of delight. They appear to have been
the whole round of human interests
and to have explored them so thor
oughly that they can not be surprised
or greatly moved. Children of wealthy
parents introduced too early to the life
of their elders, often betray this un-
lovely characteristic. The zest of
work they never knew, and the zest of
amusement and diversion has palled
upon them. On the other hand, those
who have worked too long or intensely
in a single line often exhaust their
power of taking interest in other
things, or of being strongly moved by
them. The business man on a vaca-
tion, though confronting him is the
loveliest landscape, sees nothing but
stock quotations, or the clergyman
sees nothing but the heads of sermons.
1t is doubtful if anything but pro-
found upheaval of the inner life can
impart freshness of feeling to the man
who has drunk so deeply of pleasure
that he stirred up muddy and i'm
pure sediment in the very fountains of
happiness. But most of us have it
wholly within our power by moderate
living, by wholesome recreation, by
occasional change of scene, and by cul
tivating every day a variety of inter
ests, to preserve that emotional re-

MELANCHOLY AND SUICIDE.

Melancholy is an abnormal cOndi-
tion of mind which may be caused by
some hereditary taint, brooding over
trouble, unrequited love. the creation
of false ideals of our own, or the reac-
tion of religious enthusiasm; but in
all cases it is a seeking for the unat-
tainable, general dissatisfaction with
the world, and seeming lack of will
power to throw off the morbid condi-
tion which vitiates the nervous system.
To many poor, faltering hearts,
crushed by the weight of woe which
has fallen upon them, the future on
this earth may seem an abysmal gulf
of anguish and despair, and under this
great depression of spirits, they deter
mine to solve the prodigious mystery
of the future by taking their own life.
Some of the greatest minds the world
has known have been subject to fits Of
extreme melancholy; men who pos
sessed the most lOvable natures and
unselish dispositions. Michael Angelo
fell from scaffold while painting the
fresco of "The Last Judgment receiv-
ing an injury which induced fit of
melancholy and caused him to enter
tain thoughts of suicide. Cavour, the
Italian statesman, first prime minister
of the kingdom of Italy, twice at
tempted to kill himself during fits
of despondency. Cowper, George
Sand, Goethe, Shelley and other
brilliant minds were subject to
uncomfortable detection of spirits and
while in these despondent moods,
would contemplate destruction
When the mind reaches this wretched
condition of depression, entertaining
and brooding over real or imaginary
wrongs, all thoughts conducive to
health and happiness are excluded from
it, and the result is frequently suicide
The suicidal mania is not confined
to any one people in particular, but
the Irish and Negro races are remark
ably free from it. Rich and poor, ed
ucated and illiterate are alike subject
to it. It is not always anxiety fol
themselves that causes many to become
melancholy or to take their own lives
but solicitude for others cherished
beyond the bounds of reason.
Although cases of religious melan
choly are common, it is no indication
that the concentration of the min(
upon the Almighty and the hereafte
is unwholesome or in the slightest de
gree prejudicial to well-ordered ant
happy life. On the contrary, firm
faith in God and belief in the hereafte
is essential to a moral and peaceful

LONDON TO BRIGHTON.

Cycling in $780, in the sweet little
island of the rose, and wheeling of to-
day in America are two widely differ
ent pastimes. The eighties, practically
speaking, saw the bicycle in.its infancy.
Time has evolved its possibilities, and
today it is revolutionizing the world.
Perhaps the most pleasant, and withal
the most popular run resorted to by
the enthusiastic sport-lOving Londoner
is the picturesque stretch of country
laying between the smoke-begrimed
city of London, and the healthy fash
ionable port of Brighton on the Eng
lsh channel. Saturday was the day
usually chosen by the various Bicycle
Clubs for the sport; the starting point
being the famous old headquarters of
the Lombard Club, which is situated
within stones throw of the Bank of
England, where those admirers of the
'wheel" anxiously awaited the signal of
the bugle to "mount and away" Then
winding slowly and skillfully through
the labyrinth of ceaseess traffic, over
old London Bridge, down through the
Borough, past the crowded thorough
fares of Brixton, into Stretham Com
mon, over the "Rise" and farewell to
the suburbs of the great metropolis.
The bugle's musical vibrations again
echo and re- echo through the winding
columns; this time heralding the well
come notes of "Ride at Ease" all uni
fOrmity is cast aside, the riders select
ing their particular friends form in
social groups, and giving free action to
muscle and pedals are we'll upon their
journey before they realize that hunger
is calling them to supper. The ancient
old hostelry, the "Red Lion" of Crawley
is selected as the recuperating station
Here all receive right royal welcome
from the genial and portly host and
his charming wife, who are among the
most hospitable entertainers that ever
graced the halls of an English tavern
Merriment reigns supreme, as the land
lord fills the flowing bowl. Now for &
