TEXT: "DO thyself no harm."—Acts 16: 28. Here is a would-be suicide arrested In lis deadly attempt. He was a sheriff, and, locording to the Roman law, a bailiff liim lelf must suffer the punishment due an es >aped prisoner; and it the prisoner break ing Jail was sentenced to be endungeoned Jor three or tour years, then the sheriff Bust be endungeoned for three or four fears, and if this prisoner breakiugjail was lo have suffered capital puDlshment, then ihe sheriff must suffer capital punishment, the sheriff had received especial charge to leep a sharp lookout for Paul and Silas. The government bad not much conildenoe hi bolts and bars to keep safe these two flergymen, about whom there seemed to tie something strange and supernatural. Sure enough, by miraculous power, they ire free, and the sheriff, waking out of a found sleep, and supposing these ministers tave run away, and knowing that they frere to die for preaching Christ, and real izing that he must therefore die, rather than go under the executioner's axe on the morrow and suffer public disgrace, resolves lo precipitate his own decease. But before Ihe sharp, keen, glittering dagger of the theriff could strike his heart, one of the un loosened prisoners arrests the blade by the tommand, "Do thyself no harm " In olden times, and where Christianity bad not interfered with it, suicide was tonsldered honorable and a sign of cour- Ige. DemosthenQS poisoned himself when Sold that Alexander's ambassador had de manded the surrender of the Athenian srator. Isocrates killed himself rather lhan surrender to Philip of Macedon. £ato, rather than submit to Julius C®sar, :ook his own life, and three times after his vounds had been dressed, tore them open ind perished. Mithridates killed himself, ather than submit to Poaipey, the con lueror. Hannibal destroyed his life by loison from his ring, considering life un learable. Lycurgus a suicide, Brutus o uicide. After the disaster of Moscow, lapoleon always carried with him a prep ,ration of poison, and one night his ervaut heard the ex-emperor arise, put omething in a glass and drink it, and oon after the groans aroused all the at endants, and it was only through utmost nedical skill that he was resuscitated. Pirnes have changed, yet the American onscience needs to be toned up on the übjeot of suicide. Have you seen a paper u the last month that did not announce the npsage out of life by one's own behest? )efaulters, alarmed at the idea of exposure, uit life precipitately. Men losing large irtunes go out of the world because they annot endure eartaly existence. Frus rated affection, domestic infelicity, dys eptic impatience, anger, remorse, envy, salousy, destitution, misanthropy, are onsidered sufficient causes for abscond ig from this life by Paris green, bylauda um, by belladonna, by Othello's dagger, y halter, by leap from the abutment of a ridge, by firearms. More cases of felo e se in the last two years than In any two ears of the world's existence, and more i tho last month than in any twelve lontbs. The evil is more and more spread- A pulpit not long ago expressed some oubt as to whether there was really any sing wrong about quitting this life when became disagreeable, aod there are mad in respectable circles people apolo utic for the crime which Paul in the text rrested. I shall show you before X get irough that suicide is the worst of all ■iraes, and I shall lift a warning unmis- Lkab'e. But In the early part of this ser on I wish to admit that some of the best hristians that have ever lived have com iltted self-destruction, but always in de entia, and not responsible. I have no ore doubt about their eternal felicity mn I have of the Christian who dies in is bed in the delirium of typhoid fever, bile the shock of the catastrophe is very reat. I charge all those who have had bristian friends uuder cerebral aberration ep off the boundaries of this life, to have a doubt about their happiness. The dear ord took fhem right out of their dazed ad frenzied state into perfect safety. How hrist feels towards the insane you may uow from the way He treated "the de oniac of Gadara and the child lunatic, id the potency with which He hushed mpests either of sea or brain. Scotland, the land prolific of intellectual ants, had nonegranderthan Hugh Miller, -eat for science and great for God. He •.s an elder iu St. John's Presbyterian lurch. He came of the best Highland jod, and was a descendant of Donald v, a man eminent for piety and the rare t of second sight. His attainments, mbing up as he did from the quarry and e wall of the stone mason, drew "forth o astonished admiration of Bucklandand urohison, the scientists, and Dr. Chal ers, the theologian, and held universities eilbound while he told them the story of 3at he had seen of God In"The Old Bed ndstone." That man did more than any her being that ever lived to show that e God of the hills is the God of the Bible, id he stuck his tuning-fork on the rooks Cromarty until he brought geology and eologv accordant in divine worship. His •o books, entitled "Footprints of the eator" and"The Testimony of the >cks," proclaimed the banns of an ever jting marriage between genuine science d revelation. On this latter book he lied day and night,through love of nature d love of God, until he could not sleep d his brain gave way, and he was found id with a revolver by his side, the cruel itrument having had two bullets—one : him and the other for the gunsmith, o at the coroner's inquest was examin it and fell dead. Have you any doubt the beatification of Hugh Miller after t hot brain had ceased throbbing that nter night in his study at Portobello? ong the mightiest of earth, among the of heaven. io one doubted the piety of William Cow , the author of those three great hymns, i, For a Closer Walk With God," hat Various Hindrances We Meet," acre Is a Fountain Filled With Blood" liam Cowper, who shares with Isaac tts and Charles Wesley the chief honors Christian hymnology. In hypochon hp resolved to take his own life, and } to the River Thames, but found a man ed on some goods at that very point n whleh he expected to spring, and s back to liis home, and that night w himself upon his own knife, but the .e broke; and then he hanged himself be ceiling, but the rope broke, hile we make this merciful and rtght s allowance in regard to those who were iged into mental Incoherence, I declare . the man who, in the use of his reason, lis own act, snaps the bond between his / and his soul, goes straight into perdi . Shall I prove it? Revelation 21,8 — lrderers shall have their part in the wbish burneth with Are and brim e." Bevelation 22, IS—"Without are and sorcerers and whoremongers murderers." You do not believe the Testament? Then, perhaps, you the Ten Commandments: "Thou not kill." Do you say that all these ges refer to the taking of the life of a? Then I ask you If you are not as on the alert. Assassination of others nlld crime compared with the assas ion of yourself, because in the latter case it Is treachery to an especial trust; It is the surrender of a castle you were es pecially appointed to keep; It is treason t o a natural law, and it is treason to God add" ed to ordinary murder. To show how God of the Bible looked upon this crime, I point you to the rogues' picture gallery in some parts of the Bible, the pletures of the people who have con? mitted this unnatural Crime. Here is the headless trunk of Saul on the wails of Batb shan. Here is the man who chased little David—ten feet in stature chasing four. Here is the man who consulted a clairvoy ant, Witch of Endor. Here is a man who, whipped in battle, instead of surrendering his sword with dignity, as many a man has done, asks his servant to slay him, and when that servant declined, then the giant plants the hilt of his sword in the earth, the sharp point sticking upward, and he throws his body oa it and expires—the cow ard, the suicide! Here is Ahltophel, the Machiavelll of olden times, betraying his best friend, David, in order that he" may be come prime minister of Absalom, and join ing that fellow In his attempt at parricide. Not getting what he wanted by change of politics, he takes a short cut out of a dis graceful life Into the suicide's eternity. There he is, the ingrate! Here is Abimelech, pratically a suicide. He is with an army, bombarding a tower, when a woman in the tower takes u grind stone from its place and drops it upon his head, and with what life he has left in his cracked skull bo commands his armor bearer: "Draw thy sword and slay me, lest men say a woman slew me." There is His photograph in the Book of Samuel. But the hero of this group is Judas Iscariot. Dr. Donne says he was a mar tyr, and we have in our day apologists for him. And what wonder, in this day when we huve a book revealing Aaron Burr as a pattern of virtue, and in this day when we unoover a statue of George Sand as the benefactress of literature, and in this day wben there are betrayals of Cnrist on the part of some of His pretended apostles—a betrayal so black it makes the infamy of Judas Iscariot white! Vet this man by his hand hung up for the execration of all ages, Judas Iscariot. All the good men and women of the Bible left to God the decision of the earthly terminus, and they could have said witti Job, who had u right to commit suicide if any man ever had, what with his destroyed properly and his body all aflame with in sufferable carbuncles, and everything gone from his home except the chief curse of It, a pestiferous wife and four garrulous peo ple pelting him with comiortless talk while he sits on a heap of ashes scratching bis scabs with a piece of broken pottery, yet crying out in triumph: "All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my change comes." Notwithstanding the Bible Is against this evil, and the nversion which it creates by the loathsome and ghastly spectacle of those who have hurled themselves out of life, and notwithstanding Christianity is against it and the arguments and the use ful lives and the illustrious deaths of its disciples, it is a fact alarmingly patent that suicide is on the increase. What is the cause? I charge upon infidelity and agnosticism this whole thing. If there be no hereafter, or if that hereafter be bliss ful without reference to how we live and how we die, why not move back the fold ing doors between this world and the next? And when our existence here be comes troublesome why not pass right over into Elysium? Put this down among your most solemn reflections. There has never been u case of suicide where the operator was not either demented, and thereforo irresponsible, or an infidel. I challenge all the ages and I challenge the universe. There never has been a case of self-destruction while In full appreciation of his immortality and of the fact that that immortality would be glori ous or wretched according as he accepted Jesus Christ or rejected Him. You say it is a business trouble, or you say it is electrical currents, or it is this, or it Is that, or it is the other thing. Why not go clear back, my friend, and acknowledge that in every case it is the abdication of reason or the teaching of infidelity, which practically sa.vs: "If you don't like this life get out of it, and you will land either in annihilation, where there are no notes to pay. no persecutions to suffer, no gout to torment, or you will land where tnere will be everything glorious and nothing to pay for it." Infidelity has always been apologetic forself-immolatlon. After Tom Paine's "Age of Reason" was published and widely read there was a marked in crease of self-slaughter. A man in London heard Mr. Owen de liver his infidel lecture on socialism, and went home, sat down, and wrote these "Jesus Christ is one of the weakest characters in history, and the Bible is the greatest possible deception," and then shot himself. David Hame wrote these words: "It would be no crime for me to divert the Nile or the Danube from its natural bed. Where, then, can be the crime in my divert ing a few drops of blood from their ordin ary ohannel?" And having written the essay he loaned it to a friend, the friend read It, wrote a letter of thanks and admir ation, and shot himself. Appendix to the same book. Bousseau, Volt aire, Gibbon, Montaigne, were apologetic for self-immolation. Infi delity puts up no bar to people rushing out from this world into the next. They teach us it does not make any difference how you live here or go out of this world; you will land either in an oblivious nowhere or o glorious somewhere. And infidelity holds the upper end of the rope for the suicide, and aims tho pistol with which a man blows his brains out, and mixes the strych nine for the last swallow. If infidelity could carry the day Rnd persuade the ma jority of people in this country that it does not make any difference how you go out of this world you will land safely, the Potomac would be so full of corpses the boats would be impeded In their progress, and the crack of the suicide's pistol would be no more alarming than the rumble of a street car. I have sometimes heard It discussed whether the great dramatist was a Chris tian or not. He was a Christian. In his last will and testament ho commends his soul to God through the sacriflce of Jesue Christ. Would God that the coroners would be brave in rendering the right verdict, and when in a case of irresponsibility they say: "While this man was demented he took hie life;" In the other case say: "Having read infidel books and attended infidel lectures, which obliterated from this man's mind all appreciation of future retribution, he com mitted self-slaughter!" Have nothing to do with an infldelitv so cruel, so debasing. Come out of that bad company into the company of those who believe the Bible. Benjamin Franklin wrote: "Of this Jesus of Nazareth I have to say that the system of morals He leH, and the religion He hu3 given us are the best things the world has ever seen or Is likely to see." Patrick Henry, the electric champion of liberty, says: "Tbe book worth all other books put together is the Bible." Benjamin Rush, the leading phys iologist and anatomist of his day, tbe great medical scientist—what did he say? "The only true and perfect religion is Christiani ty." Isaac Newton, the leading philoso pher of his time—what did he say? "The sublimest philosophy on earth Is the philos ophy of the Gospel." David Brewster, at the pronunciation of whose name every scientist the world over bows his head- David Brewster, saying: "Oh, this religion has been a great light to me, a very great light all my days." President Thiers, the great Frenoh statesman, acknowledging that he prayed when he said: "I invoke the Lord God, in whom I am glad to be lieve." David Livingstone, able to con quer the lion, able to conquer the panther, afcle to conquer the savage, yet conquced by this religion, so when they flna hD dead they find him on bis knees. Salmon P. Chase, Chief Justice of the Su preme Court of tbe United States, appoint ed by President Lincoln, will take tbe wit ness stand. "Chief Justice Chase, please to atate what yon have to say about the book commonly called the Bible." The witness replies: "There came a time in my lif« when I doubted the divinity of the Script* ures, and I resolved as a lawyer and judga I would try the book as I would try every# thing else in the court-room, taking evi dence for and against. It was a long and serious and profound study, and using the same principles of evidence in this religious matter as I always do in secular matters, I have come to the decision that the Bible is a supernatural book, that it has come from God, and that the only safety for the human nace is to follow Its teachings." "Judge, that will do. Go out back again to your pillow of dust on the banks of tho Ohio." Next I put upon the witness stand a Presi* dent of the United States —John Quincy Adams. "President Adams, what have you to say about the Bible and Chris tianity?" The President replies: "I have for many years made it a practice to read through the Bible onee a year. My cus tom is to read four or five chapters every morning immediately after rising from my bed. It employs about an hour of my time, and seems to me the most suitable manner of beginning the day. In what light so ever we regard the Bible, whether with reference to revelation, to history or to morality, it is an invaluable and inex haustible mine of knowledge and virtue." "Chancellor Kent, what do you think of the Bible?" Answer: "No other book ever addressed itself so authoritatively and so pathetically to the judgment and moral sense of mankind." "Edmund Burke, what do you think of the Bible?" Answer: "I have read the Bihln morning, noon and night, and have ever since been the happier and the better man for such reading." Young men of America, come out of the circle of Infidels—mostly mnde up of cranks and inbeciles—iuto the company of intellectual giants, and turn your back on an infidelity which destroys body and soul. Ah! Infidelity, stand up and take thy sentence! In the presence of God, angels and men, stand up, thou monster! Thy lip blasted with blasphemy, they cheek scarred with uncleanuess, thy'breath foul with the corruption of the ages! Stand up. Satyr, filthy goat, buzzard of the nations, leper of tho centuries! Stand up, thou monster, Infidelity. Part man, part panther, part reptile, part dragon, stand up und take thy sentence! Thy hands red with the blood in which thou hast washed, thy feet crimson with the human gore through which thou hast waded, stand up and take thy sentence! Down with thee to the pit, and sup on the sobs and groans of those thou hast destroyed, and let thy music be the everlasting miserere of those whom thou hast damned! I brand tho forehead of infidelity with all the crimes of self-im molation for the last century on the part of those who had their reason. My friends, if ever your life, through its abrasions and its molestations, should seem to be unbearable, and you are tempt ed to quit it by your own behest, do not consider yourself as worse than others. Christ Himself was tempted to cast Him self from the roof of the Temple, but as He resisted, so resist ye. Christ came to medicine all wounds. In your trouble I prescribe life instead of death. People who have had it worse than you will ever have it, have gone songfully on their way. He member that God keeps the chronology of your life with us much precision as HB keeps the chronology of nations, your grave as well as your cradle. Why was it that at midnight, just at midnight, tho de stroying angel struck the blow that set the Israelites free from bondage? The four hundred aud thirty years were up at twelve o'clock that night. The four hundred and thirty years were not up at eleven, and one e'elock would have been tardy and too late. The four hun lred and thirtv years were up at twelve o'clock, and the de stroying angel struck the blow, and Israel was free. And God knows just the hour when it is time to lead you up from earthly bondage. By Ilis graoe make not the worßt of things, but best of them. If you must take the pills, do not chew them. Your everlasting reward will accord with your earthly perturbations, just as Caius gave to Agrippa a chain of gold as heavy ■ s had been a chain of iron. For the ask ing you may have the same grace that was given the Italian martyr, Algeriu9, who, down in the darkest of dungeons, dated his letters from"the delectable orchard of the Leonine prison." And remember that this brief life is surrounded by a rim, a very thin, but very important rim, and close up to that rim is a great eternity, and you had better keep out of it until God breaks that rim and separates this from that. To get rid of the sorrows of earth, do not rush into greater sorrows. To get rid of a swarm of summer insects, leap not into a jungle of Bengal tigers. There is a sorrowlcss world, and It is so radiant that the noonday sun is only the lowest doorstep, and the aurora that lights up our northern Heavens, confounding astronomers as to what it can be, is the waving of the banners of the procession come to take the conquerors home from church militant to church triumphant, and you and I have ten thousand reasons for wanting togo there, but we will never get there either by self-immolation or itnpeni tenoy. All our slain by Christ who came to do that thing, we want togo in at just the time divinely arranged, and from a couch divinely spread, and then the clang of the sepulchral gates behind us will be overpowered by the clang of the opening of the solid pearl before us. O God! Whatever others may choose, give me a Christian's life, a Christian's death, a Christian's burial, a Christian's immor tality! TO RENEW THE LOBSTER SUPPLY. The Government's Effort to Propagate This Kind of Shellfish. The United States Government is making great efforts, by scientific propagation, to restock the coast waters of Maine with lob sters. The United States Fish Commis sioners' schooner Grampus, which has been at work along the coast for several months, has collected 1750 seed lobsters from which 18,000,000 eggs haVe been obtained and hatched out lit Gloucester, Mass. Of these fry about 5,000,000 have been released in Casco Bay and the others are to be dis tributed at various places from Portland eastward. The fry are very small, but through the thin and transparent shell can bo seen the perfectly formed lobster, with tho eyes es pecially prominent. Constant changes of water are necessary to keep them alive. It is likely that a lobster hatchery will soon be established on tho Maine coast, and be fore many years these shellfish will be as plentiful and cheap as ever they were. ANTISEPTIC SURGERY RESULTS. Gratifying Reports From the Surgeons of the Navy. Surgeon-General Van Reypen, of the United States, Navy has received a report from the Surgeons'wlth the fleet, showing that in the many cases of wounded, some of them serious, not a rise of temperature or an accumulation of pus has appeared in any case. From a medical standpoint this is said to be a marked advance from the conditions during the Civil War, and is attributed to the introduction of antiseptic treatment of wounds. It shows that no fever follows the wounds, and that with the absence oi pus the wounds heal rapidly without com plications. Considering the great number of wounds to be treated, now and hereafter, this it regarded as a most satisfactory showing not only in medical science, but In the alle viation of suffering. Brother* in Arms. In Battery I, First Heavy Artillery. Massachusetts Volunteers, now at Fort Warren, Boston, from the shoe town oi Brockton, there are flvepairs of brothers, the Aliens, Churchills, Foyes, Holmes and Marshall^. Boy Versus Goat. They tell a good one on Adjutant Philip Yateman, of the Fourth Vir ginia, and how he parted with a crisp $5 bill on payday recently. One of the mascots of Camp Cuba Libre—a goat this time—prowled into the vicinity where Adjutant Yateman was comfortably seated entertaining his friends with some rich anecdotes. While goats, generally speaking, are repellent, this one was attractive, and became the topic of the conversation. Speaking of the goat's eccentricities, it was concluded by all, just as the stable-boy approached, no one could hold down a goat's head to the ground, and rub the goat's nose in the sand. "No, sir," said the adjutant. "I'll bet $5 it can't be done." The stable boy stood, and asked: "Do you mean that, captain?" "I do," was the reply. "And you will give me $5 if I do it?" "Certainly," with a reassuring smile on his lips. Then the stable-boy, with rolled-up sleeves, approached the goat. He had him by the horns, and then they tussled. Down, down, came his head, lower and lower, but the ground seemed a good way off yet; and then, in the miniature, there was enacted the scene of the fight of the Lygian with the bull, as described in "Quo Vadis." Every one was intensely in terested and excited, and the goat and the boy furnished lots of sport. With the muscles of his little arms standing out like whipcords, the boy brought that goat's nose down to the sand and rubbed it good and well, until the dust flew as fast and furiously under his nose as it did from his pawing feet. Adjutant Yateman had added to his list a brand new $5 anecdote.— Florida Times-Union and Citizen. A Cnrlous Flower Wreath. Miss Elizabeth Taylor, writing in Popular Science News of the plants and flowers of Iceland, describes a curious sight which she witnessed in the lava fields near Reykjahlid. Notic ing wreaths of steam issuing from the summit of a small volcano, she | climbed up there, aud found a band about two feet wide, of beautiful i plants, bearing large flowers, encir i cling the interior line of the crater. : The Bteam warmed the flowers aud the rim of rocks protected them from the cold winds without.
