" You are a good-for-nothing lazy rascal," said an exasperated farmer to his son, Obadiah Davis. "You ain't worth the salt of your meat to me. You have neither watered the horse, nor fed the pigs. There's Sal, scolding down stairs, because there's no wood cut for the oven ; and you have left the bars of the lane down, and tluj cow has gone into neighbor Humphrey's field. Get out, you idle, lazy, good-for-nothing loon out of my sight' Mr. Davis six feet high. Obadiali was not more than five feet three. The last adjectives, with their terminating noun, were rendered much more emphatic by the hearty cuffs with which each one was accompanied, and the last explanatory push, which came from a hand brawny with fifty years labor, formed a hint not to be mistaken, that the negligent youth's company was no longer wanted. Obadiah was a lubberly-looking fellow, about seventeen. He bore the beating with a good grace, the necessity of which frequent experience had inculcated; and, without saying a word to his irritated parent, he went down the lane a neglect of the bars of which had formed one of the counts in tlie declaration against him and sat down on a stone, in a little grove of trees by the side of a brook, whose waters swept rapidly over their san dy bed, and filld the air with freshness and music. He ruminated awhile, with under lip out in a pout ing way, which, with him as well as others, was a sign of some internal agitation. " Yes," he exclaimed for why should not far mers' boys address the groves and invoke the rural spirits, as well as Tell or Brutes? "Yes,"sajrs Obadiah, drawing the sleeve of his coat across his mouth, with more of a view of comfort than grace; "yes, I'll be darned if I stand that 'ere any more. I ain't to be beat like a dog all my life, and I think I may as well give dad the slip now as any other time. I'll tell him on't If he's a mind to give me a trifle, so much the better; if he hain't, he may let it alone." It was about two days after the preceding events that Mr. Davis was surprised by the appearance of his son, apparently equipped for a journey. He stared at him a moment, partly silent from dis pleasure, and partly from surprise. " Well, father," said Obadiah, with some hesita tion, "I'm come to4bid you good bye." " To bid me good bye, you fool ! Why, where 1 . are you going: j " I am going to seek my fortune in the world, ! father. I know I am of no use to you. I think I can uo almost as wen anywnere eise. i can i uo much worse, at all events. So I am going down to York, or somewhere thereabouts, to get along by myself." Mr. Davis remonstrated with the young adven turer, but found him firm in the purpose which he had, it seemed, been a considerable time in adopt ing ; and, after much, useless persuation, with a voice softened by the thought of their approaching separation, he asked him what course he intended to pursue. " I am going to study law." "And how arc you to be supported while you are following your studies?" "I guess I'll teach school," answered Obadiah, with the gravity of a saint The old man, in spite of his sorrow, could not refrain from laughing at the thought of his young unsuccessful agriculturist retailing wisdom and Imowledge to the rising generation, or pursuing the subtle shadows of justice through the mazy labyrinths of law. He looked at him with increased wonder. There he was, with his brown coat and Imsev-woolsey trousers, his hair combed straight over his forehead, and standing in the most awk ward of attitudes. But Obadiah, it appears, had made up his mind, and was not inclined to return to his old employment on any terms. He, there fore, bade his father good bye, and also his sister Sally and the cook. A short walk over the farm afforded him an opportunity of performing the same tender duty toward the horse, the pig and the old cow. All things being at length settled to his sat isfaction, he started on his way. The poultry ! ea Phaps forever. Bti 'dreamed of regrettmg what he . a fc aui vjuauian never was doing of his own accord.

He knew that he had great difficulties to struggle aginst, and that he must de pend upon himself solely to supply all the deficien- cies of nature and art, by his own unwearied ap plication. s In a splendid drawing-room of a well known city, a young gentleman was entertaining some young ladies. They were all in rich and fashionable ap parel. The girls were lovely; and they, as well as the graceful youth, whose handsomely turned,pe riods excited so much pleasure, and whose attic wit produced such frequent bursts of merriment, seemed whirling away the hours delightfully, in all the charming familiarity of high life. A ringing was heard at the door, and the servant announced Mr. Obadiah Davis, who accordingly walked in, with his hat on, and, with considerable embarrass ment, proceeded to business. The politeness ever attendant upon real gentility, prompted the com pany to restrain their disposition toward mirth, while Mr. Davis presented his letter of introduc tion, and the gentleman was perusing the same. But when, after having finished and folded up the letter, Mr. Chatterton introduced Mr. Davis to the ladies as a gentleman from the country, whose in tention it was to pursue the profession of the law, the lurking smiles curled their rosy lips in spite of themselves ; and Mr. Chatterton himself, while he performed the necessary duties which the etiquette of the day required, added to the good humor of his fair and merry companions by a wink, which did not pass altogether unobserved. Mr. Chatterton complied with his request, which upon the recommendation of a friend, Mr. Davis had made, to be allowed to file his certificate in the office where the young gentleman, under the instruction of his father, was also studying law. Time passed on. Charles Chatterton, in the full possession of an ample fortune, and surrounded by tlie waiidisnments o me, lound a thousand heing considercd a crime, js held to be a meritori thinrrs to charm him irom his office. He was vounsrJ -. ,. v . t t gav and witty. His society was courted by all his , acquaintance of his own sex, and among the fair . and facinating of the other, a heart like his was ' sure to find joys too delicious to be yielded for the ' future feme.

He had taken a school, which oc-; cupied part of his time, and tlie income enabled i . , , ' at 4.1 uii- inm to defray his expenses. Nothing called him from his duty. Tlie moon shed her silvery radi-, ance in vain; and he had seen the sun rise so often that it had lost its novelty. His feelings Were not awakened by wandering affections, nor was his nlnar nnrl r.nlr.nlatjno' hrnin flistiirhpd liv flip intrn. sive visions of fancy.

There are more suicides in the United States, in proportion to the population, than in any country in the civilized world. We say " civilized," be- t cause there are countries where suicide, far from ous act anu a relI?I0US ,W ln JaI)an 11 1S vcrr common. Children are taught a contempt of death, and show their courage by killing themselves on sliht occasi0ns. If a Japanese is crossed in any hc draws llls daer and lets out hls entralIs before tlie man who -has offended him. Suicides, chiefly of a religious character, have been common in somc parts 0f India. There was once1, and per- haps still is, a sect of suicides, one of whose arti- L ' ' cles covenants was-not to die a natural death, In India there arc five modes of self-destruction which are held to be lawful and meritorious, and which cntite the suicide tQ relativ(J d s of fu , ,. , . , . h The second mode is ingeniously torturing, m, , . . . , ti, Al . , he voluntary martyr is first covered with a thick coating of cow-dung the cow being a sacred an- imal.

The dread of this exposure overcame the epidemic. vWe mentioned in the beginning of this articl, t that there were more suicides in the United State' in proportion to the population, than in any civile ized country. The next is England, then Prussia, Prance, Austria, Italy, Spain, and Russia. At the same time, there is probably a larger pro portion of suicides in Paris than in any Christian, ' city. But Paris is not France, and a large portion' of the entire population of the country is a gay or, stupid, and in any case tolerably contented peas antry. Suicide comes from disoontent, disappoint ment and despair. It is caused by wounded ap- probativencss, or acquisitiveness that is, from dis appointed ambition, or love, or the pursuit of for tune; and there are moredisappointed people in. this country than any other, in proportion to the population, simply because the great mass of our people arc struggling for wTealth, and power, anjl position, and fame. In the same way there arc more insane people here than in aiy other coun try, because there is more excitement of the intel lect and passions.

William S. Balclrjpf New York, has been down in North Carolina, preaching, and has wit ten home to tlie Christain Messenger some notes of his travels. The following is the account of his first day's wheeling through the heart of the state, after leaving the railroad at Goldsborough : " After breakfast I started in an open buggy for Kinston ; I saw by the map that it lay in thel line to this place. No body at Goldsborougy norP the conductor or superintedent of tlie railroad who? was along, could tell me thc distance or the way . to get there. So I had .to start at a hazard, with a " boy," which means here a slave, and a small miserable looking horse. Goldsborough has a little court-house, and a dozen or two dwellings and slave-huts scattered among the pine-trees in the wildest imaginable confusion. A little, way out I saw a small dingy building, the " boy" said was a school-house. We passed on, and such a road and such a country, and such houses, and such people, and such a day I Oh ! heavens i I did not expect to see all this in the " sunny and chivalrous South," These scattered plantations, with a few wretched log huts dropped down ,iii the edge of thc woods, all open, and dirty, and com fortless cabins ! Ireland ! why Irish mud-hovels are palaces of comfort compared with many of them, for they are dry and warm. Their tluck walls and thatched roofs, protect the starved ' mates from the chili night and drenching rains. These do neither. But these are negroes? No not all of them ; for I saw some whites in as . wretched a plight as over I saw in Ireland or Italy one family a few miles out of Goldsborough, which for destitution surpassed anything I ever beheld or dreamed of in my life. The "boy" stop ped to water his horse. For an excuse I stepped t to the door to borrow a cup for some drink: Two", flaxen-haired boys, about the door, oneit might be five, tlie other three, with what were shirts' orico, hanging on their shoulders, and stringing in rags down to their hips, constituted all their clothm'gj and tlie day was chill and wet Inside was an in-. -1 r , .t i ' t-l 1J .7 f1i-. - j lane, eight or iimu mouuu. om, uiC;u a , uu crs, and lying on the floor.

I regarded her pale, cadaverous visage, as she lifted her sunken eyes to me for an instant, with a shudder of horror, as when one sees' i unexpectedly a human skeleton stand up heStty ! him: and I shrunk from her with similar feelings: I could not speak. I took the cup from her atten uated fingers, and went to the well a hole dug in I the ground, six or eight feet deep, with no stfckdr I om trf mirh it fixcent above the irround.
