THE ETHICS OF SUICIDE.
To Take Ones own life Is Neither
Sensible Nor Neral, Says Couat
: Leo Tolstoi.

There is just now such an alarming
increase of suicides that all who have
the temporal and eternal interests of
mankind at heart should consider ways
of stopping this form of stupid in
EQUITY.
To take ones own life is neither
sensible nor moral.
Life in reality is indestructible. Life
is not confined to time or space Life
n everlasting.
Death at the utmost can only chang
HES outward form, shortening its ex-
istence in this world.
AS to life's abbreviation in this
world, what guarantee have L that its
spiritual resurrection in the hereafter
will be more pleasant and congenial
How do we know that we will, afte1
destroying our own bodies, be enabled
20 attain for our ego that which we
can attain here below2
Moreover-and this is most impor-
tant-it is senseless to lay hands on our
eontentment, because we assert by this
act that we have thoroughly false
conception OF the significance of life
itself.
Most bestial is the idea that life has
been vouchsafed to us only and alone
for carnal and mental enjoyment and
pleasure. Life is given us for our self
perfection and In order that we may
be enabled to serve mankind collec-
lively. ~
All work, everything we undertake,
appears disagreeable, sometimes
mountain high. Obstacles abash us,
dangers inspire fear, disappointments
discourage US, misfortunes bring de-
spair.
Nevertheless, suicide is foolish and
immoral, because only a coward lays
down his weapons in battle and fees,
rushing perhaps into greater peril.
Suicide is immoral because life has
been granted Us until the time when
We shall die natural death, and with
the proviso that we serve all men, and
not to tire of it when we can no longer
please our own flesh and mind
In the desert of Optina lame, para
lyzed monk lay suffering for so years.
BE could only use his left arm. Physi-
clans declared that the poor man was
suffering untold fortunes, but he never
uttered word of complaint. his eyes
ever uplifted toward an image of the
Virgin Mary at the foot of his bed.
Thousands visited the bedridden
sufferer, and it is difficult to compute
the amount of good done by this hum
Bile, accomplishing servant of God.
The monk thanked God every day for
the little spark of life maintained in
him.
This unfortunate monk, / claim, did
more good than the thousands upon
thousands of happy, healthy people
who boast of helping their fellow men
In the various charitable institutions,
AS long as we live we can perfect our
own selves aud serve one another. and
we only serve others by perfecting
ourselves in this world and in the
world to come.-Count Leo Tolstoi, in
N. Y. World.

BELLE BOYD, THE spy.
The woman Who Became Famou
Through Her work for the
Confederates.

American history probably furnishes
no parallel of the tempestuous career
of Belle Boyd, the famous confederate
spy who died few days ago. Th:
story OF her life reads like the weirc
tales told in yellow-coSered novels.
Though not beautiful woman sd.
possessed the art of capturing the
hearts of men and was much marrie6
woman. Two OF the five husbands
with whom she lived were Choctaw In
dams. While living with one of them
in the Indian territory in 1890 it was
reported that she had been shot and
killed. Her warrior husband procure q
a quart of bad whisky and rode forth
to kill her slayer only to learn tina.
1T was woman of similar name who
had lost her life, says the Chicago
TImes-Herald.
Long before she became identified
with Stonewa1 Jackson, Belle BOYD
had the reputation OF being one OF
the most graceful and daring horse

There is no tree more fruitful than
the cross planted in the heart.
Locality is not so potent as love in
making health-giving climate.
New truths will always break the
bottles that held old thoughts.
A mans profession is like founda-
ton: 1T is not house but it gives you
a good idea of what it will be.
Theological changes do not affect
divine truth any more than travellers
books affect the shape of the earth.
If you depend on the price paid for
your redemption you must not forget
that the purchase makes you Gods

If everything was done to the glory
of God there would be good Zeal less
