H0U fe,0 men know the cheapness Of a
life insurance policy and the many bene-
fits to be derived from it. A poor man
can buy 3 home on time, but cannot give
it TO his wife until the notes are taken
up; but if he insures his life for her bene-
lit and dies before the notes are taken
up, she can take them up and cur
comfort to herself and little ones. See

day, the following resolutions we're
adopted by said board, t0-wit

Fresh Fields for Labor.

The Montgomery Mn1 says that
many of the best citizens Of Alabama,
Georgia, and other Southern States,
are moving to Texas; and we learn
from other Southern sources that
there is very general migration in
that direction from the older cotton
States. The reasons are obvious;
the days of great plantations, devoted
wholly to the staples-cotton and su-
gar-are at an end, and small farms,
raising cereal crops, will soon be the
general rule throughout the South.
1t can easily be imagined that men
who have been large planters, and
who see that extensive planting, with
uncertain and, indeed, almost worth
less labor, is impracticable, should
emigrate to 'fresh fields and pastures
new" where their smaller undertake
ings will not be noticed as they would
among their old friends and neigh
bors. Texas presents extraordinary
inducements to immigrants. There
is plenty Of room and abundance of
virgin soil; its vast extent of territory
includes varieties Of climate, that will
admit Of the production Of every
thing that can be raised on this con
tinent, from corn to cotton; and, as q
wool-growingand cattle grazing State,
it is without q rival. Moreover, the
negro laborcrs in the interior Of that
State have generally been beyond the
reach of the Freedmcn's Bureau,
and, consequently, they have not
been traded about under the new
slave system Of the "agents," but
have gladly and contentedly worked
at fair wages for their old friends and
employcrs-their former masters.
They are working for an honest Iiv
ing, instead of spending their time
IN retailing imaginary outragcs to
radical correspondents of Northern
papers, and are putting their we'll
earned wages into their own pockets.
IN place OF expanding them for pho
tographs of their beloved schoolmis-
trcsscs from Massachusetts,. Th.rc
is not enough Of this kind of labor
IN Texas, and efforts are making to
induce immigration of white labor
ers, and with Very considerable sue
cess. The latest accounts say that
whole families, including a large
Of abIc-bodicd men, have
moved from the Gulf States TO Texas,
and men arc now going from States
rs far North as Virginia. At present,
20 field Offers so rcmuucrative and so
certain chances for employment: and
the T'!jtnte woiii 10 well to recon-
mend this favorable opening to the
white men whom it lately proposed
to starvc away from the cities.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Memphis CommerciM sad, on
the 18th:
"Amid all this storm Of radical
vindictivencss, the President remains
firm and unyielding, satisfied OF the
rectitudc of his course and Of It's en-
tire constitutionality. He is prepared
for "thc Majority at all points, and
will conlire himself, so long as he
can, to the veto and decisions of the
Supreme Court; after that he Will
maintain the Government by ill
means at his disposal. Sworn to ad-
minister the Government upon the
basis of the Constitution, and having
already given faithful earnest of his
intention in that regard, Mr.. John
son may be relied upon in any ex-
tremity. The Government Will never
be disrupted while he is President, nor
will Congress, under any pretence,
be permitted to override that instru-
ment, without which there could
neither be Union nor Congress-, Su-
preme Court nor Executive"

london Sno,ycd U,,.

The London Telegraph, of the 81
lnsfeiit, describes the effects Of &
heavy snow storm in that city, which
seems to have been an unusual oc
currencc:
The widest thoroughfares were so
blocked by the drifts that the pas
sage along them was but a narrow
lane. BY such difficult roads, toiled
the wrctched cattle, in sorrier
plight even than that which is almost
their normal condition; and the cut
OF the lash came oftener and louder
than ever Oddly matched were the
steeds that worked for the first time
together "Gilatfes'' and frames"
of all sizes pulled two and two most
inharmoniously. In every case of
tandem, it was ludicrously evident
that the trace horse had never been
used to that kind of thing, and he
was dragged along willy-nilly by the
leader, on whose back was usually to
be seen an amateur postillion. Iail-
way vans and business carts Of every
kind were drawn by at least a double
complement of horse power: and
even then the wheels often stuck.
In the central and buster districts of
London. the snow was soon trodden
into q yellowish brown mire; and the
churning process, which continued
throughout the day, gradually CON
verted the filth into slush that was
fltllier still. At the suburban cemc-
tcrles, where funerals arc certainly
no less frequent than they are in
other seasons of the year, the graves
dug for those to whom no merry
Christmas will ever come again, were
half filled up by the nights heavy
fall; and there seemed to be a literal
fullilimcnt of Campbell's line-''Thc
snow shall be their winding sheet"
The cold continued rs bitter all day
as 1t had been all night, though the
wind iulled soon after dawn. Long
icicies depended from window-ledses
and other outward projections cx-
posed fully to the freezing atnos-
pAerc: and, at last, winter did hang
out his cnsigns with q fierce prodi-
g&lity about which there could be no
mistake. 1t would be curious to as
certain how much. or how little,
shopping was done at the West End.
Not lady was to be seen out of
doors; and the olairs in tempting
shops, like those of Lewis and Alien
by, or Swan and Edgar, stood in long
empty rows for TIE spruce young
men to count, because they had no.
thing else to do. 1t is positive fact
that many tradesmen shut up shop
ut once, and gave their servants q
queer sort OF holiday. No visitor
from the rural districts could have
received q more dismal impression of
metropolitan life cat this festive pc
ROD than he had yesterday the IN
avoidablc means of getting from the
sight OF London showed up.

THE TRUTH ABOUT DYSPEPSIA

1E2E TRUTH ABOUT DYSPEPSF A
Whoever says that dyspepsia is incurable,
tells a-thati is to say, makes an egregious
mistake. More than ten thousand agcra-
vated cases have been cured by HOSTET-
IER'S STOMACH BITTERS, while the
number that have been prevented from
coming to head, by the same means. is
lncalculable. In winter and early spring.
when the appetite is sometimes too vicor-
Gus for the safety of the stomach, indigcs-
ton is most prevalent and most DISTRESS
ing. Is the appetite to be baked to
accommodate the digestive organs? Not
so; for then the frame would lack its due
proportion of nutriment. The thing to be
done is to strengthen the stomach. tone
the liver, and put the bowels in perfect
order. Nothing Will do this so cflectuallv.
so rapidly, so quietly, SO pleasantly, as
HoSTETTER'S DITTHRS. This potent
preparation trims and balances the svs-
tenn, and clothes it, as it were. with de-
fenslve armor. Chronic dyspepsia, liver
complaint and fever and aguc arc never
known to attack those who arc wise enounI,
to invoke the aid of this great preventive.

Holmes tells us that once upon q
time all the inhabitants Of the earth
agreed to cry out at the same mo-
ment, in order to ascertain what a
mighty noise they could make. When
the time came, however, instead of
shouting, everybody listened, except
one old deaf woman in China. 4
similar failure appears likely to be
the result of the sage proposition to
pay the national debt by imposing on
every person in the country the duty
