APPEAL TO MECHANICS AND LA
BORING MEN TO INSURE
THEIR LIVES

A large proportion of the operatives in our various
kinds OF shops are not worth $1,000. A wife be-
loved and confding children cling with fond regard
TO the father liable at any moment to be taken away
with nothing laid BY for their comfort and protec-
ton. The annual sum of S25 would pay life poll
cy that would in the event of death go far towards
making them comfortable; and who can not lay
aside for such purpose this small sum, and who
among you ought not to lay it aside Ii the family
is poor much the greater need that this wise pro-
vision be not neglected AS the ordinary accumu-
latons necessarily slow, requiring years to lay
aside few hundred dollars, how much wiser to make
sure at once large sum by Life Insurance. Take
warning before 1t is too late.
EVILS OF NOT INSURING.
The poverty and suffering of widows and orphan
with cold and cheerless prospects, worn with excess
slve toll and scanty subsistence and corrodng anx-
iety, are speaking commentary upon the evils of
husbands negecting this beneGcent provision. How
many families have been thrown into a state Of alb.
solute want by the culp pabe neglect of a husband or
father to fulfil TO his family-which he is bound by
sacred obligations to protect, honor, cherish, I'D
provide for-the important duty of Insurng his
Life for their benefit? Few homes are free from
encumbrance by mortgage or otherwise, and in very
many cases, on the decease of the husband and ia.
ther, the wife and children who had confded in him
to shield them from poverty, forced from their
long cherished homes, which they in their younger
days helped TO adorn with all that the heart could
desire Could that departed husband rd father look
back upon tie suffering condition Of his family,
would he not admonish husbands aud fathers, one
and all, 10 guard against similar calamity 10 their
own families BY Life Assurance7

toned to them, are too apt to say it is too heavy a
tax and yet, if they would reflect for moment il
in reality is no tax, but savings bank for the bene
ft of their wives and children.

of mis- wife children, is free from attachment bv
creditors; but is paid directly his wife and child

THE SHORT DREss.-A fashion writer,
dating from Paris, says of the "short
dress":
This is the greatest novelty of the sea-
son. 1t remains to be seen whether 1t will
find the same favor in the eyes of Amcri-
can ladies that it has already in the eyes OF
the gay Parisiennes.
The principal objection to it here will be
that it is only designed for the street, and is
not graceful in the house; this, in our
opinion, is recommendation. One of the
faults of our style Of dressing is its mixed
character-its want of distinctireness and
adaptation to separate uses.
Half the women wear the same dress in
the street that they wear in the drawing
ROOM sometimes trailing, sometimes
caught up with some one of the half-dozen
contriyances for raising ladies' dresses, but
either way, inevitably spelling it. A neat,
short dress, similar to the modes we have
seen, is surely great Improvement on this
method, or, rather, want Of method, and Is
not only convenient, but in quiet colors,
with accuratcly-itting gloves, and hand
some dark bottiaes, is immensely becoming
to all but very tall women.
The most useful short dresses are made
of Scotch winsey, the skirt gored and cut
out in vandykcs, or trimmed with several
rows Of narrow jet braid, over petticoat
stimulated by deep braid of the same
material, put upon twilled cotton, and
finished round the bottom with fiat quilt
ing or plcating, put on with broader braid
than that upon the upper skirt. The body
is not cut in one with the skirt, but has q
little polka attached, which Is cut out in
short, square lappels, and bound with gal
loon or braid. A short suc-pdletot is
trimmed with one row Of the broader braid,
band of the same upon the top and bottom
of the sleeves, and reins at the back. This
completes the toilette. ,s, .r.g
Very little material is required for a
short gorcd dress, especially if the petticoat
is stimulated in some other color. gaia
Gray short dress, with blue pctticoat,
box .pleated, is good combination; or
brown with green and black, or black with
black scarlet, or green with purple and
black. ..srU

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
Richmond and Lynchbnrg Railroad.
BUCKINGHAM, October 8, lS6


We country folks are rejoiced to see
that Richmond is at last beginning to feel
an interest in the proposed airline to
Lynchburg. 1t has been o matter of sur
prise TO us that your city has been SO
apathetic on the subject hitherto. At
Buckingham July court public meeting
was held, ut which resolutions were adopted
urging the construction Of the road and
tenlaing the right Of aody over the lands of
those present. l have no doubt that this
te.nles and grant will be cheerjaRy made by
nearly every land-holder on the line.
Many of your people have very little idea
how cheaply this road could be built.
There will he two somewhat costly bridges,
pcrhaps-across the James at Richmond,
and al Lynchburg. Though if connec-
ton could be made with the Danyille near
the al-felds, and the Southside beyond
Appomattox courthouse, that difficulty
would be obviated. Leaving Richmond
and the James, the road would advance, by
easy grades, to Ca Ira, in Cumberland,
crossing no stream ten feet wide. There it
would cross Willis river, about thirty
feet wide; thence up the valley of Payne's
ar Buffalo creek, two or three miles below
VI ny WY iHouOio0 5iouSo - sA'>
level ridge just north Of Willis's mountain;
thence, almost without an embankment or
cut, to ,Appomattox Courthouse and be-
yond. With the exception Of the crossings
Of James river the cost Of the road would
scarcely be greater than Of that to New
ports News. There are large quantities
Of pine ar white oak timber in Cumber-
land, Buckingham, and Appomattox, di-
rectly on the line Of the road. The own
ers are holding it now only because they
can't get It to market. Besides, the road
will pass across one edge Of the coal
basin, which extends from Ca Ira to Farm
vile, and right across what are thought to
be rich veins Of gold, copper, and magnetic
iron, in Buckingham, near Willis's NOUN
tain. One of the finest mincralogists in the
United States was near the mountain a
few days since, and expressed the opinion
that the surface indications were such as
to Justify heavy outlay in explorations
even to q, depth Of 800 feet, so fully per-
shaded was he that there really Is some
thing valuable underneath" Cumberland
has not moved hitherto, because they had
no, hope Of success. You will hear from
them soon, I think. CouNrRYNAN.
