PAYING FOR HIS PRovENDER BY PRAY
INa.-We have no intention says the
the Cleveland Plaindealer of making fun
of serious matters in telling the following
story-we merely relate fact:
There is rule at Oberlin College that
no student shall board at any house where
prayers are not regularly made each day.
A certain man fitted up boarding house
and filed it with boarders, but forgot,
until the eleventh hoar, the prayer provi-
so. Not being praying man himself,
he looked around for one who was. At
length he found one-a meek young man
from Trumbull County, who agreed to
pay his boarding in praying. For a
while all went smoothly, but the boarding
master furnished his table so poorly that the
boarders began to grumble and to leave,
and the other morning the praying board
er actually "struck!" Something like
the following dialogue occurred at the
table: J.
Landlord-Will you pray, Mr.. Mild!
i Mild--No Sir, I will not.
Landlord--Why not, Mr.. Mild7
Mild--It don't pay Sir. I can't pray
on such victuals as these. And unless
you bind yourself in writing, to set bet
ter table than you have for the last three
weeks, NARY ANOTHER PRAYER DO YOU GET
OUT OF Mel" ..... .,...
And that's the way the matter stood al

A Lesson to be Learned.

There is lesson which we as people, and
which the Democracy of the country especial
Is. have vet to learn. They talk of extending
the area of freedom, of the spread of Demo
cratic principles, of the time when American
institutions shall be adopted by all peoples,
but arc pursuing course and setting an ex-
ample which will most eHectually prevent
such desirable triumph and diffusion of free,
republican. popular government. They for
get that one fact is more influential than a
thousand boasts. They overlook. from the
government 10 the individual citizen, the fact
that every misuse of that sovereignty which
inures to the people. discredits popular gov
eminent abroad as well as undermines 1t at
home; that the proofs which they are, month
by month and year by year, writing on the
page of history that popular institutions may
work decentralization as well as despotic ones,
are so many accommodating barriers to the
spread of freedom, so many additional
bulwarks for the protection of despotisul.-
In case of peoples as well as of individuals,
actions speak louder than words, !" and
such revelations Of Democratic misuse Of pat
ronage for purely political ends. of disregard
Of tho citizen right offranchise, as have been
made during the last Congress, will have inn
msnsely more influence in other countries
than million stump speeches in favor Of Gu
larging the area of freedom. IL we would
convert the world to practical faith in popu-
lar government, we must demonstrate to the
world that it bears the best fruits. There is
n responsibility resting upon the American
people to do this but reform at home must
prscede its accomplishment,--N. y. Com.

Tho Rappahannock Valley.

An interesting article on the "Rappahan-
nook Valley" appears in the March number
e DeBow's Review. The article is from the
nan Of Mr.. Geo Fitzhugh. AS whatever per-
,rs;ns 10 the history of the country lying upon
,Lot noble river whose waves we're ploughed
49, the keels of the steamers Virginia" and
..W;l;am Selden" cannot fail to interest the
nsonle of the Monumental City. we shall very
hrieay epitomze the points Of Mr.. Fitzhugh's
entertaining paper.
The Rapahannock Valley, on account of
It's GREAT beauty and fertility, attracted set
Tiers at 80 early period that population
sssms to have advanced in it upward from the
Cbesaneake pai passu with that on James
.;ysr Captain Smith sailed up the Rap
nabanpock to its falls soon after the settle
r'snt Of Jamestown. In 1862 the county of
Joncaster sent members to the House Of Bur
aa..es and in 1869 forts were established
Simultaneously at the falls Of the Rappahsn-
nock and the James. 1t is believed that as
Cav hack a. 1880 colonists must have occupi-
ID the lands on either side Of the mouth cfthe
S,rmer stream. Owing to the aquatic" and
..amphibious" character of the English, the
Land was settled in narrow strips along the
margin of the river, and this accounts for the
nresen, form of hecounties in the northern
neck. which do not run across the Rappahan-
mock 10 the Potomac. although nature has
nopted out these boundaries. No other two
large rivers in the world run parallel and so
near to each other for long distance as the
two lust mentioned. A hundred and twenty
miles from their mouths they are only twelve
miles apart and thence to the Chesapeake the
average is only twenty miles.
Mr.. Fitzhugh. evidently in love with his
subject, claims that the Rapahannock Valley
!. the most productive OH the whole Atlantic
coast and the most beautiful. except that of
the Hudson; and the Northern Neck he con-
siders the finest part of Virginia. The first
settlers of this fertile region were English
cavaliers and their dependents, next Scotch
merchants. then French Huguenots, and last
IL Scotch Jacobites, a tolerably homogeneous
and certainly a worthy class of people,
Among the first houses built after population
began to thicken in Rappahannock Valley:
were places for the deposits and inspection of
tobacco called "rolling- houses" so named be
cause there were few wagons, in those days
and people rolled their tobacco to market
In this connection, Mr.. Fitzhugh recalls
many other interesting "reminiscences

CAPITAL OVER $3.50, 900,

AND CONSTANTLY INCREASING.
The Charter of this Company offers more favora-
bic advantages to the farmer and others, than any
other Company chartered in the State, by insuring
with or without Il premium note. If the applicant
prefer he can pay the full amount Of the premium
in ash, or by etlecting cash insurance for two
wears the insured saves One-eighth Of the amount
he would otherwise have to pay: or by becominga
member and giving q small premium note, the in
sured saves nearly one half of the amount charged
by Stock Companies, when insuring from year to
wear. This is the advantage resulting from the
combination of THE CASH AND MUTUAL
PRINCIPLE.
This Company commenced issuing pOlicies
against loss damage by fire, on the 10th oil
March, 1854. since which time over five thousand
seven hundred persons have insured and become
members of the Company, and over thirty thou
sand dollars have been paid for losses. Having
trched our business during the past year, we feel
grateful for the liberal patronage bestowed upon
the Company thus far. and for its fattcring pros
poets of future usefulness. The Directors hope
and believe that. by prudence caution, and rigid
system of economy. they will establish for this
Company y reputation for chcapneSs and safety
not surpassed by any Company in the |. States.
All differences in settlement of losses, may be
determined by three dsntcrcstcd arbitrs.ors of the
County where such loss happened, to b mutually
chosen by the insured and the Company.
