FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.
Buried i'm the Gray"


Many of our readers, who once fol-
lowed the a" meteor flag" and wore the
gray, knew and well remember the sub
ject Of the following paragraph which
we clip from the Nashville Gdzette:
Augustus Carson, q respectable eolored
man, died at Franklin, TenB., last Mon
day night. Early ia the war he at
tached himself to the cause of the Con-
federacy and steadily followed its BAN
ners till the last of the struggle. Through
good and evil report, whether the sun Of
victory shed light and hope upon the
cause he served, or whether clouds of de-
feat lowered upon him and his associates
in arms, he was ever brave, hopeful, and
dauntIess. When the cause was finally
lost, he returned to his old home, and
has since acted only with the Demo-
cratic party. During the illness which
terminated in his death, Carson repeat
eddy expressed the wish that his body
should be sttired in suit OF Confederate
gray, and that some of mis- old friends
should attend his remains to their last
resting place. His desire in both re-
speets was fully carried out. His funeral
was largely attended by the people Of
Franklin and its vicinity.
SUDDEN DEATH.-How often during
the late heated term have we heard and
written that little phrase, and how little
nearing do we who write it and use it
most attach to it! We do not believe
it is necessary OF wise 10 bs ever think
ing on the sui ject of our mortality. Life
has its active duties, calling for differ
ent exercise Of our thoughts and faeul-
ties from day to day, and throughout the
hours Of the day, which would necessa-
rily be neglected, were we to be eternRlly
thinking of deRth-waiting for the man
date Of the Coenobiarch. Our activity
depends in great measure on cur hope
OF living, and not on our expectation of
dying. But every one ought to be able
to lock at death calmly, as something
that is not TO be desired. This is the
duty of the Christian. How is u man
to live so as TO die thus ? This is q
question which has bsen debated by
saints, sOphists and sages from the earli-
est dawn of philosophy and religion.
Msnifesily no man can meet the grizzly
King Of Terrors who knows that he has
left undone one of the first. duties of
iife-that of providing for those whom
God has given him to care for. Can he
leave the earth calmly and willingly as
a Christian should, knowing its hard
ness, its lack OF charity, its GOODNESS, and
yet entrust to its tender mercies those
who are nearest and dearest to him
No! He must provide for them before
he goes, and the only way for him to do
this is by investing during life and health
all the money that he can spare in q life
Insurance policy. THE ST. LOUIS MU-
TUAL, represented in this city by Messrs
Mcmahon & Otis, No 40 Madison street,
is about the best institution We know of
in which thus to invest.

Sunshine and Shadow in New York Cit y
BY Mathew Hale Smith, more familiary
known as " B1rIeigh,' the correspondent of
the Boston and New York press. We have
received from the publishers a few advanced
sheets of this forthcoming book. From its
table Of contents we shall expect it to be one
of the best books issued by the press. 1t will
be valuable to the Old, to the frequent visitors
to New York to the merchants and minis
tiers from any part of the country, to thestu-
dent of human nature, TO the lover of the
marvellous, to the Speculation, to the ambitious
money maker, to those who visiting the city
would shun its pitfall, to the general student
of history, to every philanthrOpist, christian
and lover of missionary enterprises, to those
who would read intelIigently in the daily
journals about the city and the occurrences
therein, and to, in short, every citizen in
America.
1t has n~inety-two chapters, teaching of as
many subjects, all of which are matters of
interest to the general reader. Mr.. Smiths
acknowledged ability as a writer, and his
well established reputation as a correspOn-
dent are sufficient guarantees of the quality
and style Of the work. His professional ex-
perience has given him abundant opportu-
nifty for collecting material; and his peculiar
talent for narration is allowed its widest
sc6pe in describing high life and low life in
New York. The book will be printed from
new electrotype plates, on good paper, and
will be appropriately illustrated with twelve
full PACED engravings. 1t will contain over
seven hundred closely printed octave pages,
and will be furnished to subscribers at the
following low prices: In extra fine English
cloth, spTinkled edge, So; gilt, $3.50, and will
be sold only by subscription. Agents are
wanted in every town and county to canvass
for it. For full particulars and terms address

Our Ferry Boat.-This institution has
changed hands since Our last. The boat was
brought here by r. f.. Barrett, who, up to last
Saturday, had not paid h purchase money.
The owners had sent orders that if she was
not paid for by last Saturday night, she was
to start back to Muscatine, Iowa, Monday
morning. Still she ran OF until Monday
evening. when, as Nh. Barrett had not paid
for her, Messrs. MCGEE, Hartman & Baily not
being willing that this boat should leave,
have entered into arrangements by whichthe
boat shall remain. We are yet in hopes that
this matter will be Strengthened up without
trouble, yet a great lumber of our heaviest
capitalists are determined that BrOwnville
shall not be withOuta steam ferry. Our hopes
for an amicable settlement of this matter are
based upon the fact that a great portion of
the benefit of having a ferry will be rendered
nugatOry If it is possessed by its prOprietOrs
in trouble and kept in tr1bulation. Settle it,
