TRIED TO END HIS LIFE.
Boy Attempts to Commit Suicide in Back
Cove-The Story Told by Companion.

Boy Attempts to Commit Suicide in Back
Cove-The Story Told by a Companion.
Thursday afternoon about o'clock two
boys, apparently about IS and IS years of
age, were seen coming up franklin street
from the direction of Back Cove. Both
were poorly dressed and the younger one
was wet and covered with mud He was
being led along by his companion and
pie Noticed the boys and thought the
younger one had probably fallen over
board, but asked no questions.
A gentleman driving along in car
riage pulled his horse up to the sidewalk
and asked what the trouble was and
the older boy that his companion had
tried to commit suicide by drowning in
Back Cove and that he had got him out
OF the water and was taking him home.
He said it was the third attempt he had
made to end his life in the same way but
had been discovered just in time. The
boys names or residences could not be
learned as both seemed to be very reti-
cent about the matter. Both evidently
belonged in the lower part of the city,
in the vicinity of Fore street, as they
were seen going in that direction by the
party who told the story to the reporter.
Whether it was really a case of intsn-
tional suicide or just scheme worked
up to excite sympathy it is impossible to
say but the boy scanned to be sincere In
his statement and evidently told the
truth.

ALooK AT ETERNITY.
Mr.. Gladstone Thinks 1t Is More than
an Expansion Of Time.


Look for a moment at eternity under the
view OF its being an Unreasonable expan-
sion OF time. Consider for a moment the
very large meaning involved in this PROPOSE
narrow span of life as a whole, when Sc
riously attempted, seems to fill the mind
nearly qp to the limit of its receptive power.
A million is. a numerical accumulation
which, If regarded at once as a whole and
In its units. seriously battles US. But now
billions and quadrillions without limit. and
TO recollect that in doing ii We do nothing:
and however often we repeat the process,
IL is the same totes QUOTES; the score is I'M
diminished. In dealing with such a concep-
ton pass beyond our depth If all this
may be so, yet 1t seems hard to compel ev-
cry mind into the belief that II must be
so: and there is something to be said here
also in favor of taking refuge In our ignor-
anee.
This much may we presume to say. Had
the divine revelation been intended to con-
vey TO US that time is an inseparabe in
is no more or less than the unfolding of an.
immeasurable roll of time, II seems prob
able that the Bible could and would have
employed some Technology evidently adapt
ed to that purpose. But sucn Is not the
Technology actually given For. in deal
ing with the condition of the righteous in
the world 10 come, our Savior builds not
upon terms of time. but upon reunion with
Deity. And in touching with greater reserve
upon the condition of the wicked the image
presented TO US Is either simply negative
as in the case of the five virgins, it is
one of suffering without reference to dura-
ton. as in the outer darkness where there
viii be weeping and crashing of teeth: or,
IL is associated with words which etymolog-
ically and by use signify the indefinite rath-
er than the infinite. Some of the passages
without doubt introduce the awful image OF
finaiity. But such presentations are held by
some TO be OF extinction and total disaD-
pearance. rather than of a miserable ex-
istence co-extensive with that of Deity, and
they may be possibly susceptible of other
explanations at present hidden from our
lam In Ata
delineation may be thought TO indicate
purpose OF reserve.
