pERILS OF NAVIGATION

The advantages Of this contract need scarce.
" be urged upon wealthy men, or merchants.
for they rarely neglect il, and il they do. res
leave them other resources. II is especially
valuable to lahoring men, mechanics and
others OF moderate means-who, perhaps, have
little else than home and its contents in the
world.
These should neter neglect TO insure; fire
that may visit them at any hour would leave
them homeless, and with no capital bat their
labor TO begin again the struggle Of life, and
years Of toll and watching must pass before
they can regain what they have lost. if indeed
il is ever done. To such, insurance is duty.
If the individual is worth little. the expense is
less il he owns much property still, the expense
is trifiing. and by investing a few dollars he is
safe. If he is overtaken by misfortune and
hisal laid in ashes, he receives recompense in
cash capital equal to his loss, aud may soon
restore what has been destroyed.

ALICE CAREY,-Alice Carey is one Of the
c;fted women of our age and country, whose in
falIect is poised serenely above the Grazing at
,oosnbere of isnis that has infected and carried
astrav so many: and our sympathy with her is
strengthened because she is from the West, and
grew up in our own immediate neighborhood
Her imagery is drawn from our scenery, and
her stories mirror the life that passes around US
1t is but few days since we rode by her old
home in this vicinity Ii was towards evening,
and the landscape was so lighted and Swallowed
as IA have the utmost variety and beauty. The
slonea we're, some green, others stubbled, and
Others covered by the tall, rustling yellow corn.
The trees in the yard were dropping their mot
tied leaves silently upon the grass which they
had protected from the frosts; brilliantly red
apples shone among the boughs of the orchard
trees standing near, and at a little distance
grove of naples lifted their scarlet tops, IKE
giant warriors crests, against the sky. Close
by through winding ravine, ran slender
noiseless brook, hidden by long bright grass
and a fringe of low willows and but few fur
loughs away the white spires of the churches of
n village were shining, emblems OF peace in the
soft light Of the sinking sun.
Over this scenery Is spell, woven out of its
own beauties and memories by one whose heart
it filled with a love Of nature, and whose hand
was given cunning to weave the tickle threads OF
romance and song 1t seemed fitting that this
spot, so combining within one horizon the rural
charms of the West, should inspire songs so
sweet that the busy world was charmed to
pause and listen [Cincinnati Commercial.
