EVILS OF NOT INSURING.

The poverty and suffering of widows and orphan
with cold and cheeress prospects, worn with excess
sve toll and scanty subsistence and corrOding anx-
iety, are a speaking commentary upon the evils of
husbands neglecting this benefcent provision How
many families have been thrown into state of ab-
sOute want by the cul pabe neglect of husband or
father to fulfil to his famiy-which he is bound by
sacred obligations to protect, honor, cherish, and
provide for-the important duty of Insuring 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 confided 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 ard father look
back upon the suffering condition Of his family
would he not admonish husbands and fathers, one

own families by Life Assurance

Mr.. Louis Shafer, of Canton
Ohio, lately sent Ex-Governor Wise
of Virginia, 500 for the Orphan
Asylum at Richmond. The Rad.
icals of that town heard of it and
raised a hue and cry about "Cop'
perheads" sending money to rebels.
whereupon Mr.. Shafer came out
and acknowledged that he was the
guilty party, in a published card.
in which he states:
"The only regret | have in the
matter is, that my pecuniary abil-
tiles did not permit me to increase
the amount to one million instead
of one hundred dollars.
"In conclusion, Iwould merely
add, that l have never voluntarily
contributed a farthing, nor ever
spoke one encouraging word in ia.

rebellions, one headed by John
Brown and the other by Abraham
Lincoln"

WANTS AN ExPLANATIoN.-A
correspondent of the Hartford
Post, writing from Collinsville,
says:
81 observed a notice in one of
the papers recently of the benefit
of driving nails into fruit trees to
increase the supply of fruit. It has
long been claimed by some that old
scythes, sickles, horse shoes, &C.,
hung on the limbs of trees would
increase their fertility; by others
ithas been secuted as asuperstitious
and foolish notion. The writer will
state one circumstance which came
under his personal observation
that is worth recording.
"Mr. G. III. Nearing, of this
place, had a thrifty growing ap-
pie tree from nursery set out in
his garden, on one of the limbs of
which was the label, attached to
small wire, which he neglected to
take of, and soon the wire was en-
tirely embedded in the bark
The next year that limb was load
ed SO heavily with apples that it
was necessary to prop it up, while
there was not an apple on any 9TH
er part of the tree. Can some Of
our genealogical friends explain
the phenomenal"

A Good Thing.

a popular clergyman OF hoches-
ter, New York, has lately ceased
to be housekeeper, rented his res
idence, and gone elsewhere, The
party who succeeded to the occu-
pancy has been greatly annoyed
by those who come for assistance
ia a variety Of forms. He has at
length resorted to q novel eXpedi-
ent, which has served perhaps a
double purpose: first, to relieve him
from bores; second, to let the beg
CARS see themselves as others see
them. And we may add that be
has given the public an insight In
to what popular clergyman has
to endure. He posted on his front
door a card upon which the fol-
lowing was written in hand as
plain as the talk itself:
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
DR.. does not live here
lie has moved away from where
he lives now, and viii not occupy
this house again until May 10Th,
1867.
In consequence of this the pres
ent incumbent has decided to sus-
mend the free list. No books. maps
pictures, stationary, or recipes of
any kind wanted. No history of
the rebellion whether written by
Greeley or Jeff. Davis. Have no
desire to put my name in any sub
scription-book or order that may
be used for influence. Have nc
old clothes except those [ am now
wearing, and the customs of mod
ern society are unfortunately such
that cannot dispense with them.
Have no cold pieces, for we cannot
get money enough TO purchase at
one time more than we can eat at
one meal, consequently proprietors
of boarding houses will have to
look elsewhere for supplies. This
house will not be kept as hotel,
and warm meals at all hours ao'll
not be furnished. Have not a
spear of hay in the barn, or a sin
Gle oat, and have not taken care
of horses since I drove on the ca
nal, which means that we have no
room for horses or donkeyS either.
Have no vacant rooms or beds
to spare for agents, colporteurs,
travelling ministers, missionaries,
teachers, beggars, sponges, leech-
es, professional bores, seedy stu
dents, soldiers, negroes, Freed
mems Aid Society, agents, rebels,
or abolitionists, even though min
listers in neighboring towns and
cities hare told them to be Saere
and cali here.
No money to spare for any of
the above individuals or enterpri-
ses which they represent, even
though they be for the laudable
object of furnishing unborn Afri-
can children with red flannel,
night-caps, and fne-tooth combs.
In short the minister does not
live here now, and cold things.
have passed away, and all are be-.

Lovers in a Fix.


Night before last, as the moon
rose over the hill and tree-tops,
gliding the spires of our beautiful
city with her silvery rays, there
might have been seen upon the
roof of an Egyptian cottage, which
is fat, and covered with pure white
gravels and pitch, couple of low
ers, seated, enjoying the beauty of
the scene, and .3s4t -,
Though few the hours, the happy moments
few. ,s rs
So warm with heart, 50 rich with love they few,
That their full souls forgot the will to roarn,
And rested there, as in a dream at home!"
The sun during the day had
been very warm, and thus they
met to spend the feeting hours of
twilight, enjoying the pleasant
breeze that foated up from the mag
nolia garden beneath. and inter
changing those soul-longings and
the warm affections for each other.
Seated near each other, the lovers
sat; with one arm he encircled
the waist of the beautiful crea-
ture at his side,
s'Her little hand lay gently, ccnfdingly in his,
and all passed quietly and loving
ly until the bell tolled the mid
night hour.
| eNone but the loving and beloved,
Should be awake at this sweet hour"
The tolling of the bell reminded
them that
Tired natures sweet Eestorer, balmy Sleep"
was requisite for lovers as well as
Others. Still seated near each 9th.
er the plighted vows were again
exchanged, and sealed with kisses,
like
'4Linked sweetness long drawn out" =
At length, after many vain at
tempts to sever these pleasant
pleasures, the transported''lo
found that they were bound to
each other by more sticking bonds
than lovers vows. The hot sun
had melted the pitch, and after
sitting SO long, and the night air
having cooled the resinous matter,
they found that they were both
"stuck fast" The young gentle
man first attempted to disengage
himself but found like aunt Jemi-
mas plaster, "the more you try to
pull it of, the tighter it sticks the
faster" The young lady then at
tempted to get up, which she did,
minus the skirt of her dress, and
all her under-clothes, as far as the
"tilters." In this plight she at
tempted to relieve her disconsolate
partner, but it was no Ise-he
Icouldn' come. After some parley
he came to the conclusion he could
manage it by slipping out Of his
pants. Accordingly he asked of
his companion if she could lend
him a pair of pants until he could
go home. She thought her pas
would do if they were not too
long. With this information he
slipped off his boots, and loosing
his suspenders, drew himself out of
his pants as easily as possible, and
the disconsolate couple took them
selves down stairs in very blush
ing manner, and looking very
much like our first parents when
they discovered they were human.
The lady procured, as quietly as
possible, pair of her fathers
pants, which were run into pretty
quick, and the Adonis decamped
with his pants rolled up about six
inches. The joke was too good to
be kept; by little and little it leak
ed out until the truth had to come
to exculpate the happy innocents.

Chatting properties stimulate the vital activi-

its organs, purify the blooi, and expel dis

breed and grow distemper. stimulate sluggish

also formidable and dangerous Diseases
While they produce powerful effects, they are
at the same time, in diminished doses. the
safest and best physic that can be employed

pleasant to take and, being purely vegetable,
ars free from any risk of harm. Cures have
been made which surpsss belief, were they

They also, by purifying the blood and stimu-
