A Good Suggestion.

WE copy from the Pamela Star, the following
suggestions by correspondent, to the ladies of
Panola county We most respectfully ask leave
to make the same suggestions TO the ladies of
Lafayette, believing their patriotism to be equal
to that of any other ladies in the State. The
idea we think good one and present il to the
lady readers of the Intelligencer, especially.
Tie writer in the Star says 1--WE do not ash
Of you dear ladies' that stern selfsacrifice which
compelled Joan of Arc to ride at the head of
charging squadrons or which in later times fired
the heart of Rebecca Motto to speed the flaming
missile to her own roof-but we do ask of you,
(and we ask it with the proud belief that your
patriotism will be equal TO the sacriiice) that you
will takeof the abundance which you have hith;
erto avished upon your beautiful persons, and
offer it up at the altar of your country.
"Will not the ladies of Panola county set the
example, by arming and equippng company
of 100 men, to be called the Ladies Own, or
any other name which your fancies may sug-
gcst Say but the word, then make but the
move, fair ladies, and the ranks Of your tomra.
ny will be full to overnowing, of the chivalry Of
Panola-aye, and your sisters in other portions
of the State will emulate your example, and
will soon havein the field, without charge to the
State regiment which shall equal, or surpass,
if possible, the deeds Of the immortal Ississip-
pi First
lie who pens these poor lines, though with
the cares of a family pressing heavily upon him,
and with gray hairs beginning to sprinkle his
temples, will gladly be the first man to respond
to your call To the work then, brave ladies.

/ Lawyers Criticism OF Shakespeare.


OWN that Inever perused my chief favorite,
the Merchant of Venice without mixture Of
melancholy to think that it has SO many faults,
and in particular that the distress turns chiefly
upon embarrassments with which no lawyer can
seriously sympathize. There are several stri-
king flaws in this drama. In the first place,
Antonio's difficulties arise entirely from his gross
oversight in not eiIecting an insurance upon his
various argosies He should have opened set
of policies atonce upon the Rialto, where marine
insurance was perfectly well understood, and
where the brokers would have got him fly
freight or cargo, lost or not lost This pruden-
tial step would have given totally different turn
to the whole affair When he wanted TO help
Bassiano with three thousand ducats for three
months, he could easily have raised the money
at four per cent. on the security of an assign
ment of hepolicy. Shylock says of him, "An-
toniois good man, yet his means are in suppo-
sition he hath an argosy bound to Tripolis; an
other to the Indies; | understand, moreover,
upon the Ralto, he hath a third at Mexico, a
fourth for England, and other ventures he has
squandered abroad. But ships are but boards
sailors are but men; there be land rats and wa;
ter rats, water thieves and land thieves-I mean
pirates; and then here is the peril of waters,
winds and rocks"
Now, these are the very risks which the con-
tract of insurance is intended to cover, as is
clearly explained in Marshal and other writer's,
and as expressed in the following clause insert
ed in all policies Touching the adventures
and pers which the said assurers are contentcd
to bear, and to take upon them in this voyage
they are of the seas mcn-of-war, fire, enemies
pirates, rovers, thieves jettisons, &c, barratry
of the masters or mariners, and Of all other per-
ills, losses and misfortunes that have or shall
come to the hurt, dctrnent or damage of the
said goods or merchandise and ship or vessel"
With this precaution, Antonio's means would
have been no longer in suppostion, but in GER
tainty, and as good as hard cash, under deduc-
ton, merely, of the premium of insurance
Finally, when intelligence was received of An
tonios argoses being wrecked, it is plain that
he might, in these circumstances, have at once
abandoned to the underwriters and claimed for
a total loss. 1t is painful to see so many amia-
BILE characters involved in grieis and in difficult
ties, which this simple and natural expedient
would have obviated. My feelings at this re-
flecton are something akin to those OF very
susceptible medical friend, who declares that he
can never sit out Romeo and Juliet, from the
thought that judicious use of the stomach
pump, in the last scene, would remove all the
distresses and make two lovers happy

A Penny a Day.

WHEN in our boyhood we read in the Bible
about the men working in a vineyard for pen
ny day, we remember that it seemed like very
small wages indeed. But let us see about this.
In those days penny was about as large as fif-
teen of our cents, and as money was some ten
times as valuable as now, the penny day was
as good as 100 of our cents, so that those men
really got as good wages as the best men now
generally have in harvest time; that is, dollar
and half day: So also when that Good Sa-
maritan gave two pence to the landlord to take
care Of the man who fell among thieves, it
was equivalent to about So; which would prob
ably bay his board for two weeks in a country
tavern, where board was very cheap. This gift
of the Samaritan was in addition to bis raiment
the oil and wine, and to the promise to pay any
thing more that the landlord might expeDd
By the same reckoning, how much was that box
of "very costly" ointment worth, which Mary
used upon the SaviOuri When the disciples
asked if they should buy 200 pennywOrths Of
bread, how many lOaves were they calculating
for, at about six cents loaf-a large price in
those dayss Remember to reckon money worth
ten times as much as now, and to call penny
worth fifteen cents

HIeHERl 1t is word of noble meaning
the inspiration of all great deeds-the
sympathies that lead; link by link, the i'm
passioned soul to its zenith Of glory, and still
holds its mysterious object standing and
glittering among the stars.
Higher! lisps the infant that clasps its
mothers knees aud makes its feeble essay to
rise from the. .hoor-it is the first inspiration
of childhood-to burst the narrow confines
of the cradle in which its sweetest moments
have passed forever
Higher laughs the proud schoolboy al
his swing, or as he climbs the tallest tree OF
the forest, that he may look down on his less
adventurous companions with finish of ex-
ultation, and abroad over the field, the mea-
dows, and his native vintage. He never saw
SO extended prospect before:
Higherl earnestly breathes the student Of
philosophy and nature; he has host Of
rivals; but he must eclipse them all. The
midnight oil burns dim but he finds light
and knowledge in the lamps of heaven, and
his soul is never weary when the last oi
them is hid behind the curtains Of informing:
And higher! this voice thinders forth
when the dignity of manhood has invested
his form, and the multitude is listening with
delight to his oraclcs, burning with elo
quence and ringing like true steel in the cause
Of freedom and the right, when the time has
changed his locks to silver, and the boys in
the field, bow in reverence as he passes, and
peasants look to Him Id honor; can he Breathe
forth from his heart the fond wish of tile
past
Higher yeti He has feaclied tile apex o
earthly honor yet his spirit burns as warlf
as in youth, though with steadfast anG
paler light, and scars up to heaven, leaving
its tenements to moulder among the laurel'
lie has wound around it, for the reverend
ing glory to be reached only in the presence
of the Most High.

The Right Sort OF Religion.


IT is not often that we take notion to preach
or publish sermon, but the following briefand-
to-the-point discourse is worthy of place in
our columns
We want religion that goes into the family
and keeps the husband from being spiteful when
the dinner is late and keeps the dinner from be-
ing late-keeps the wife from fretting when the
husband tracks the newly washed floor with his
muddy boots, aud makes the husband mindful
of the scraper and the door-mat-keeps the
mother patient when the baby is cross and
keeps the baby pleasant-amuses the children
as well as instructs them-wins as well as gov
erns-projects the honeymoon into the harvest
moon, and makes the happy hours like the east
ern fig tree, bearing in its blossom at once the
beauty of the tender blossom, and the glory Of
the ripened fruit We want religion that
bears not only on the 'sinfulness of sin, but on
the rascality of lying and stealing-a religion
small baskets from the stalls, pebbles from the
cotton bags, clay from paper, sand from sugar,
chicory from coffee, beetjuice from vinegar, al
um from cream, lard from butter, strychnine
from wine, and water from milk-cans.
The religion that is to advance the world will
not put all the big strawberries and peaches at
the top, and all the bad ones at the bottom 1t
will not offer more baskets Of foreign wines than
the vineyards ever produced bottles-and more
barrels of Genesec -four than all the wheat fields
of New York grow, and all her mills grind. It
will not make one-half of pair of shoes of
good leather, and the other OF poor leather, so
that the first shall rebound to the makers cred
It, and the second to his cash. 1t will not let a
piece of velvet that Processes TO measure twelve
yards come to an untimely end in the tenth-or
spool Of sewing silk that vouches for twenty
yards to be nipped in the bud at fourteen and a
half-nor the cotton thread spool break to the
yard stick fifty of the two hundred yards of
promise that was given 10 the eye-nor all
wool delaines and all-linen handkerchiefs be
amalgamatcd with clandestine cotton-nor coats
made Of old woolen rags pressed together, to be
sold to the unsuspecting public for legal broad
cloth. 1t does not put bricks worth only five
dollars per thousand into chmneys it contracted
to build Of seven dollar materiais-nor snug
gle white pine into floors that have paid for hard
pinc-nor daub ceilings that ought to be smooth
ly plastered-nor make window blinds with
Stats that cannot stand the wind, and paint that
cannot stand the sun, and fastenngs that may
be looked at, but are on 20 account to be touch
cd
The religion that is 20 sanctify the world, pays
its debts. 1t does not consider that forty cents
returned for one hundred cents given, is accord
ing TO gospel, though it may be according to law.
1t looks on a man who failed in trade, and who
continues to live in luxury, as thief 1t looks
upon man who promises TO pay fifty dollars
on demand with interest, and who neglects to
pay it on demand, with or without interest, as a
liar

Thrilling Adventure with Boa
Constructor.

LANGLEY, in his travels in India," tells this
exciting story;
When on one of his sporting excursions in
Wynaud, Capt. Croker was toldof an enormous
boa or anaconda which had been occasionally
seen, and was held in great terror by the ma
tiyes, but could obtain no certain intelligence Of
its whereabouts. Being, however, one day in
pursuit of game, accompanied by Shikaree,
and very powerful and high couraged dog, the
latter made rush forward and suddenly he
heard whimper and choking noise. Capt
Croker at once thought that his dog was In the
clutches of a cheetah, and pushed on to his as;
sistance through the thick jungle, where he got
sight of large object in color black and orange,
which he at first thought was a tiger, but pres
emily saw that it was huge boa constructor coil
ed up, As he approached, the monster began
to uncOi himself; presently its head glarcd, as
the animal glided toward him.
Capt: Croker was man of great nerve, and
he fired both barrels at the boa's head both
balls took effect yet, though checked for an in
stant the snake came on more fercely than be-
fore, and the Shikaree having bolted with the
Captains rife, he also was compelled to run, and
had just time to climb up tree when his pursu.
CT arrived at its foot Capt Croker lost no time
In reoading, but to his dismay found that the
Shikaree had carried OF all his balls; luckily,
however, he had plenty of shot, and having re-
loaded, saw that one of the boa's eyes were
knocked out nevertheless the animal appeared
quite aware of his proximity, having seemingly
followed him by the scent.
BY this time the boa was twining itself round
the boe Of the tree in order to ascend it. when
Captain Croker fired one barrel into its remain
ing eye at distance of only about ten feet the
creature at once fell back, but again and again
renewed its efforts to reach him, though without
effect, and Capt Croker continued to fire until
life appeared to be extinct though for consid
cradle time ii continued to writhe and lash the
bushes with its tail, the vast muscular power o
which seemed quite astonishing
