Adams, in his enforced fast, find suicide. Jived and died under the de lusion, that he was mairing, and could make, an expiation for his sins. He was perfectly rational, when he devised, and executed his plan;and it would appear, that an argument should have been addressed to *his reason, to show him, that he was in- cicting upon Incuse f unnecessary torture. His object was suicide, with intense agony, as an atonement for his sins. His suicide could have been im mediately, and almost without pain, accomplished with Prussic Acid, or a pistol ball; or a heroic dose of mor phine would soon have put him into the Opium Eaters’ Paradise, and his troubled life here would have been rounded with a sleep! The idea of suicide was natural enough, under the circumstances, and all literature, both sacred and pro fane, shows that it is the first thought, whidft is suggested to a sen sitive aad world-weary spirit, when circumvented, and in despair. The prevalent opinion is, thafr when one commits suicide he is de ranged. The facts, probably do not ustain this view. Hamlet’s celebrated Soliloquy is a masterpiece of logic. There is no in timation here of aberration. It would place Shakespeare, who- pre eminently holds the mirror up to na ture, in a ridiculous position, if men tal unsoundness were r predominant trait of suicides. The Bible heroes who took their own lives did so rationally, deliberate ly, in order to avoid a worse fate, by living. It is believed, that one has no more right to take his own life, than he has to take anothei’s: and one of the Poets (.TOWtPd by the Legislature In 1868 for Edu ji»f and Charitable purposes, and Its Iran I maJ'‘ a part of the present State CVmstitu- i lS7y. by an overwhelming popular vote, . has sung, that-the suicide “arrives in llisiana btatc LottGiy Co. j Hell, r-ooner than the Devil expects.” On the contrary, one of the Beech ers—a family distinguished for start ling and original views—has written a Book, in which it is contended, that when one’s life has become intolera ble he has a perfect right to end it. This is probably a question of casuistry, about which Theologians and Metaphysicians will never agree. One thing seems to be obvious, that many men, in despair as to this world, but in hope of felicity and ipercy in the next, quite rationally end their sorrows here, by death.

Attested as follows: The outlay for machinery is costly; but there is no expense attending the use of itjas the machine neither draws wages, nor eats, nor steals. The peasants of Bussia receive very small wages. The English have perfected a magnificent system of railroads in India, penetrating the entire kingdom, and food products and cotton are delivered, at very low rates, at the ports. A peasant in India has a breech- cloth for clothing; lives in a bamboo house; never needs a fire; and subsists on rice and fish caught out of the streams which flow thought his fields. Besides, the English too, use machine ry of all kinds. Wheat is thrown into England from Bussia, India and America, at a price which would ruin the English farmer, and he is driven out of the market. Hence, the English have changed their grain fields into pastures, and have turned their attention to the cultivation of small fruits, which they subject to evaporation, and con vert into preserve-. Should the suggestion of the - wri ters in Franco be acted on, and should there be a combination against us, the West, particularly, would suf fer. There would be no market abroad for its surplus grain. If • the grain were converted into beef and hogs, there would be an immense over-pro duction, and great depression in price. We, in the South, feel tolerably se cure as to our great staple-cotton; but some day, our territory too, may be invaded. •The English are now using Ameri can cotton seed, and American gins. Bussia has began the cultivation of cotton, in its Southern Provinces, on quite a large scale and under the supervision of intelligent Agents, who have spent years, on Southern plantations, in a profound study of the cotton plant, in all of its stages of growth. These Agents have learned all that is to he know, and have returned with seed, implements and machines, and as far as they can, will be our rivals, in the marts of the wor’ d. mortal might stand on the extreme border-land of the u-.known and un knowable, a id with uplifted, rapt and bewi dered gaze, towards the Infinite d Eternal, acknowledge himself to be an Agnostic.

LONC LIVE THE QUEEN- Comparisons are “oderous,” marked Mrs. Partington, still will make them, in our minds, re- we and sometimes, imprudently utter them with our lips. There was quite an exhibition of bad manners, last Sunday, when Mrs. Harrison appeared at church, without the President. The crowd had coma to see him, and not her; and a'though she is the first lady of the land now, and by reason of her intel- ect and character is worthy of her high station, yet she has neither the grace, youth, nor beauty of Mrs. Cleveland. The people rate her pro perly for her quiet, matronly dignity. For the present however, worship is paid not to a Goddess, as was the case, daring the last Administration; but in rather a tame way to plain Ben. Harrison. Under similar circum stances, the people would not have cared a fig, for the obese Cleveland, and would scarcely have noticed-him. In fact, wherever he appeared.with .his queenly wife, he served rather as a foil, by which to bring into more conspicuous prominence, her incorn- parab e grace, and beauty. f ailing, has been summonsed to meet me President. The conversation was in the form of conudrnums; at which Platt smiled, though failing in his interpretations. How it is well known, that one may “smile and smile and be a villain still.” So this villain, becoming soon weary of a seat in the kitchen Cabinet, turned his hack on the President, and sought consolation in the Orange Groves of Florida.

We cannot by penance, or suf fering, or extreme agony, caused by fasting, or by anything, purify our souls of guilt. This is not only not ac ceptable; but of all possible thiugs which cou’d he done, is that which of all others, a soul suffering from the gnawing of remorse should not do. Assuming for the sake of the argu ment, Christianity to be true, this is another Gospel,' and makes the vicarious sacrifice of the Saviour un necessary. If one man could atone,, even in the least, by anything he could do or suffer, for any of his sins (and in the case of Adams, he seems to have been concerned only about liis forgeries,) he could atoue for ale.
