What cold, cast-iron, selfish world this
wonid be- If flesh ami blood were heir
to no mislortunes-if wo had not the poor

to pity, TO love--if there were no perils BY
food. fire and field-'.no pestilence that
walketh in darkness" no destroyer that

these calamities and misfortunaa. incident

great heart OF humanity would, stagnate.
lk" the heavens without electiicity. or a
lake of fresh water without inlet. outlet and
motion. The best qualities of human ma

would never expand beyond itself; and So
ciety would become one vast, arid, dewless
expause Of seliishness.

Is recent sermon Mr.. Beechcr pitied
the devil after the following fashion: IL
AN Informed that, before the communication
system was abandoned by the ferry company,
men Of property and good standing in socic
~ would boldly declare that thoy had a
Communication ticket in their pocket when
they had none, for the sake Of going through b
without paying! They did this when the
frrryage was one cent! I pity the devil!
do not know what he doee with such men
like them! ! cannot understand how these

Weather ausi Water


The weather yesterday was nearly
clear, and decidedly pleasant, the
mercury only reaching so at noon.
The river here is falling almost inn
perceptibly, having declined less than
/ two inches since Monday last. A rise
of ten inches is reported at Cincin-
natl, but it will not effect the river
here.
Arrivals and Departures.
The only arrivals and departures
up to 3 PM. yesterday include the
Mollie Norton, Henderson to return !;
Romeo, 10 Greensboro; Petrolia No.
:, to Cannelton; Pink Varble. New
Orleans to Cincinnati.
Boats Due Here.
Among the first boats due here
are the Umpire, Clara Scott and John
Lumsden, from Cairo; Champion. for
st. Louis; Cora s., for Memphis: Nick
LongWorth, from New Orleans: Ca
melia and Anna, from Louisville:
Charmer, from Cincinnati; Lewellin.
from Eastport
miscellaneous
The low stage of water aud the
almost total suspension of navigation
above this city, renders navigation
here extremely dull, and there are
but faint signs Of improvement.........
The only outside arrival yesterday
was the Pink Varble, from New Or
leans to Cincinnati, with fair trip of
scrap iron, cotton, &c. 1.-THE Mol,
lie Norton had a medium trip from
Henderson, and was receiving liber-
ally.........The Petrolia No. 2 took out
an excellent trip...... The Romeo
has, we are informed, been chartered |
by the Louisville & Henderson Mail |
Company, to run between this city
and Greensboro, during low water,
connecting at Greensboro with
the regular mail boats. Ac
the Romeo left for
Owensboro yesterday morning
to meet the Nightingale, and will, we
presume, leave tomorrow morning at
8 o'clock to meet the Rose Hite......
Captain Frank p. Gracey, the great
tobacco king of the Cumberland, is
in the city prospecting. Capt. Gracey
shipped over 5000 hogsheads of to.
baceo from GAINESVILLE to this city
last season......."The little steamer j
Baker has been chartered by Captain
John Carroll and Dick Wilmington,
to run in the Evansville and Cumber-
land River trade She was receiving
quite largely yesterday, and expected
to leave in the evening....".The
Hartford was getting a splendid trip

Personal.

We were pleased to receive visit
yesterday from our friend Capt. Warren
R. Marshall, the agent of a Life Insu-
rance Company proposed to be estab-
lished in this State. As life insurance
seems to be receiving deserved attcn-
tion at the South and the time has come
for our people to encourage the ins'itu-
tion of home companies, which keep
their surplus earnings in our midst
We notice that an application has been
before the Legislature to charter Nu-
tual Company, to be located in Charles
ton, to be known as the "Policy Holders
Life Insurance Company" Its charac-
ter is indicated by its name-it will
belong to the policy holders, who will
receive all the profits of the business,
and it comes forward recommended BY
some Of the best business men of the
State. We wish it success.

FOR TIE JOURNAL.

Mr.. EDIroR: A country man Il few
days since offered his cotton and truck
to q dealer, who bid % Is for the cot
ton, and the usual market price for the
eggs and butter. On weighing the cot
ton, there arose a difference as TO the
merits of tile scales, the seller contend
ing that the bale weighed nearly foe
hundred at home, whereas it would
only kick the beam at slighly over 450,
but the buyer offered to call it 452.-
After weighing, every why and whcth.
or, the seller not feeling satisfied, re.
load, d his cotton and concluded to make
another trial, and finally sold his bale
1.-THE weight Of far hundred and .Fo'7y
tour pounds at % cents per pound,
yai~i"y ioss Of onc.ci.h'h of a cent
per pound in price and eight pounds in
weight of bale. He doubtless has found
that his greed of gain, did not, in this
instance increase very immensely -
Whose scales of the trio were right?
As these mistakes happen occasional.
ly, why would it not be we'll to have il
public wcighcr with scales nicely ad-
iusted?-in that case, rirc-c wortd be
some criterion by which to jrtl=o IF tho
correctness of each dealers scales, and
in addition, measures might also come
under supervision, for it is barely posi-
siblc that some of these articles light
be found wanting in capacity.
MEASURES NOT MEN
