Oct, a Judge Bronson has re-
signed.
Oct, 25 Judge Bronson has not re.
signed nor does he intend to. The
rumor about his being removed grows
out of the fact, that his residence in
Beekham street smokes and he has
moved his family in consequence to
the west end -
This is fair sample of the correct
ness of that tattliug apparatus-the

Life Insurance.

Certainly there is no subject deser-
wing more attention than this. There
could not be better timo to present
the consideration of Life Insurance to
The public mind, than the present.
We have but to look about us and see
how much distress, poverty and pau
perism might have been spared the
living, had those who have past away
during the present year, held policies
of insurance on their lives. And here
let us say that there are many, if not
most Of the citizens Of Louisiana, who
would be benefited by life insurance,
that do not correctly understand its
principles. II is essentially the poor
mans salty bank. by making n
small investment from year to year,
he will secure to his family upon a no
less certainty, than his own death, a
competency at the very time it is most
needed. That is when his own pro-
vidipg arm has become unnervcd and
paralized by death.
The principles Of Life Insurance is
intended for the benefit Of persons, in
the slower walks Of life" il we may so
term it--persons in moderate circum-
stances. A man with a large family,
who can barely manage by his own
unaided efforts to support his family
can secure to them by life insurance
IA competency after be is called to
leave them, based upon more sub
stantial footing than the worlds char
ity. We have but to look about us
to see how many families are daily
left alone-widows and orphans to
take care of themselves, in world
where every man is for himself, and
the devil for all. The poor man is too
intent upon his own method Of subsis-
lance, to give the relief his own gener-
Gus heart would pour out, and the
rich mans door is nailed up to the
outside world Of want. If the latter
can make public demonstration now
and then, of ''yearning sympathy for
the distressed" it is well; the exercise
Of transformations charity is of wopder-
Gus rare occurance in these latter
days.
A few dollars Of the surplus revenue
of the poor man if he has any..(and
he can have it with the least economy
will suffice to secure policy on his
life, that after death will lead his fam
lily to believe that he has lived to some
purpose.
