FRIDAY, 10TH FEBRUARY 1867.

The heavy rains which fell from yesterday
afternoon, with very little interruption until
midnight, have filled the ~ciSterns here in town,
which were all nearly empty, with water and
we trust that this good weather will prove be-
nefcial to the planters and profitable either dur
ing the present crop or for establishing the
future one. The lightning and thunder, which
accompanied the rain, being very sharp and
heavy, we fear some damage has been done
somewhere. We hope, however, that nothing
has happened, and feel anxious to hear from the
country and Westend. The streets are very
much cut up; and in many places the water
washed into stores, shops and low dwellings
but nothing of any great consequence has been
destroyed. The quantity Of Rain that fell is
reported to be so lines-Danish measurement.
This occurrence gives us an occasion to offer
a few remarks regarding the repairing of the
streets and so forth. 1t is always the case
whenever a heavy fall of rain comes that the
streets are badly cut up. And why : Because
they are never properly mended. The loose
dirt is taken from the middle of the streets and
placed on the sides, without any attention be-
ing paid either to current, the force of water
from a hill, grayelling, or the like. See what
has been done to carry off the water-and a
great quantity tOO-from the farm hill at the
western suburb of the town Why moth
ing. And what does one usually see there
when it rains heavily A complete wash
through and through the house that stards
at the foot of the hill,-such a wash too as
to cause damage to every piece of thing
in it, and to drive the inmates out of it-as was
the case last highland expose them to the
inclemency of the weather. Why not build q
good and proper bridge across the street there,
to receive the water and convey it to the large
gutter that runs through Richmond} Is there
any reason to deny the inhabitants in that quar-
ter less comfort and safety than in Hill street
or in any other part of the town? Do these
people pay any taxes at all, or do they pay
less taxes than their fellow-citizens in Company
street or any other street, If they are not
taxed, then let them be drowned.

toned to labor, and inexperienced in prl-
walton, find that the same stroke which
deprives them of parent, husband, or only
son, also reduces them to extreme power
ty. The widow must take boarders ;
the daughters must seek employment as
teachers and sons must beg for subor-
dinate positions in stores or workshops,
or emigrate to the Far West. Too often,
even these our cannot be obtained,
or prove unfruitfuI !; generally, the want
Of experience is fatal, at least for Il time,
to success in either Of them. Debt soon
comes to aggravate restitution and it is
we'll even if good principles and good
habits are not soon worn away in the de-
pressing struggle. Self respect is seldom
preserved; the destitute must solicit aid
from friends, and this is but a euphemlsm
for beggary. The misery thus caused is
incalcuIabIe. Poverty is not SO great a
hardship to those who have always been
poor; the hand indurated by constant
work does not blister. But the poverty
which comes suddenly after ease and
afluence not only b%listers, but eats deep
Iy into the flesh. 1t is a chronic smart,
which too often gradually wears away
the health of both body and mind.
Common observation will satisfy any
one that this picture is not overdrawn,
and that it does not represent an unfre-
quent occurrence. If it were the only
merit of Life Insurance that it furnishes
Il means, the only sure means, of obviat-
ing these distressing calamities, the insti-
tuition might well be regarded as one of
the most efficient "charities'' which hu-
man b~enevolence has ever devised. But
this is only It's direct result !; the indirect
influence upon the habits of the people is
a matter of at least equal moment. It
not only encourages frugality, but makes
frugality "a habit, and removes from it
the faint Of selishness it not only rem
ders men provident, but it shares, though
in a humble degree, with religion in ex-
tending this providence TO a period be-
yond the life Of the individual. We claim
for the institution, therefore, q high place
in the regards of the truly benevolent
Of those who are the most anxious 10 try
all feasible means Of diminishing the
amount Of sin and misery in the commu-
nifty. We claim for it even a higher place
there than is universally accorded to Saw
ings' Banks, Model Lodging Houses, Pro-
vident Associations, Ragged Schools, or
any of the thousand and one philapthro-
pic institutions of this most philanthropic
age. 1t is an additional consideration,
though of comparatively slight import
ancc, that the large funds accumulated
for life insurance are, in great part, a posi-
tive addition, which would not otherwise
be made, to the available capital of the
country-to the stock which keeps in mo-
ton and renders efficient our national in
dustry.-NorM american ReUiew.
