however, she returned, and they lived

Ambition is a notable cause of sui
cide. Some one has said iu the case
of Hayden, if he bad only spent the
time in painting which he did in try

he could paiut, he would have become
the pni titer he wished to be. Not be

Trivial causes sometimes lead to it.
A Frenchman killed himself from the
ennui of pulling on Lia trowters every
day; another i'rum the monotony of
nature's color, saying distraction, and
that be desired to see everything in
red for a change. A man of seventy
five years hung himself, leaving this
apology ; "Jesus Christ has said that
when a tree is old and can no longer
bear fruit, it is good that it be destroy
ed." The search after notority has led
men to self destruction. Ous man
jumped iqto tho crater of Mount Vesu
vius. Abont a year ago a frequcuter
of the masked-bulls of Paris, gayly
habited as Pierrot, jumped into the
Seine, with, of course, his "last word"
ninnncd to his garmants, on which he
had written that ho had got bis cour
age up to the jumping point by means
of abstinence. He had already in im
agination seen himself in junketing
attire streachud on the marble slab of
the Morgue. This was the price of
lite. uulaxy.
Some time ago two London theives
put in practice a plan of robbing a
jeweller which had been described in
a story iu a popular periodical a
peice of pure iuventiou. The jeweller
was furious (he lost forty thousand
dollars, so it was excusable), and
wrote to the editor of the magaziue,
asking hitu if it was his mission to in
struct thieves in new ways of plunder
ing tho public. "My dear sir," re
plied tho editor blandly, "If you had
taken in my periodical (which I hone
in fnturo you will do), you would
have been put upo.i your guard.
This conies of neglecting the claims
of literature."
A Lebanon county editor has con

A CAMAOIA IIKKMIT.
Tho Carletou Place (Canada) Her
ald prints the following story, with the
statements that, "incredible as it may
appear, it is an authentic fact, t
which hundreds can bear testimony :"
About forty years ago a young niai
named Wilson, residing near the town
of Perth, conceived the lunatic idea
of. leading a hermit's life. , The youth
had from his early age showed symp
toms of derangement, and this proceed
ing ou hia part was not considered
strange by his friends. .The chosen
place of his hertnitnge was about
three-quarters of a mile from his par
ental homestead, in a recess of a dense
bush, where he erected a small hovel,
and furnished it with an old log canoe,
which he used as a couch to steep in.
Divesting himself of all chothing, ba
has ever since remained perfectly nude,
with the exception of a tattered rem
nant of a shirt, which his fancy leads
him to retain, Iu this rtale for forty
years he has lived, walking in the
depth of winter through tho snow, and
yet he has never been known to hava
received a frost bito. Wben he re
quires a drink ho ' walks deliberately
into the river, it mattering not to him
what season of the year it may be, and
wades out till the water reaches
his waist, and thon ho stoops and
quenches his thirst. His food is
