HEARTH AND HoME.-This is weekly
publication, issued by Pettingill, Bates q
Co., 81 Park Row, New York, Edited by
Donald G. Mitchell and Harriet Beecher
Stowe. Hearth and Home is something
original in the way of weekly publications,
and supplies a place in the home circle
never before fully occupied by any one
publication. 1t is what its prospectus des-
cribcs it, can Illustrated Weekly of Six
teen Handsome Folio Pages, for the Farm,
Garden and Preside Hearth and Home
is evidently the offspring of much observa-
ton and reflection, and is a happy combina-
ton of the species of literature most relish
ed in rural homes. A large part of the
work is devoted to the farm, stock breed
ing, poultry raising, gardening. fruit grow
ing, flower culture, rural architecture,
namental gardening, etc. The subjects
are not presented in the usual dry and
on housekeeping, cooking, &C., are dressed
up in spicy and readably sryle in Mrs.
Horeybee's Journal. In somewhat SINH
lar manner the practical modes of farming,
stock feeding and the hundred and one
things which the working farmer has to
deal with, are presented in affected, homely
and Countrywide manner in Will1erson's
Journal. 4 vein Of ridicuie runs through
Mr.. Wilkerson's writing at the expense of
those theorists, who farm after the fashion
of the New York Farmers Club. Aside
from purely domestic and rural subjects,
Hearth and Home contains many pleasant
chapters for the little folks, and enough of
that class of reading termed literary, to
make it 4 favorite with those who have
spare moments to enjoy this species Of men,
tai luxury. The fine Illustrations which
weekly adorn the pages of this family COM
panion, are not the least attractive of its
beauties. The cultivated tastes and pur-
suits of country life had created 4 demand
for just such Journal, and we feel conf
dent that it must.speedily secure a lasting
hold upon the affections of the large Glass
for whose benefit the publication is more
especially designed. Every farm house
should have among its literary visitors
Hearth and Homes. Price 81 year.

What has been Done by the National Life.

1t is too late to talk of the importance of
insuring ones life for the benefit of those
dependent upon him. What was, some
years ago, accounted by many scue0ulous
and doubling ones as "a tempting of Prov
idence'' has become the recognized duty,
as surely due to a mans family as the daily
labor for bread, clothes, and home. The
number of new insurance companies which
are yearly started upon their course prove
the extent of the popular feeling in favor
of this beneficent provision. The two plans
upon which insurance is otfered-the Stock
and the Mutual-are industriously present
ed by their respective adherents, and the
merits of both fully discussed.
A significant indication of the popular
choice is found in the great success of the
National Life Insurance Company of Amer
lea, which began business in August last,
and has, since that time, been rapidly ex-
tending its agencies throughout the coun-
try, as we'll as in the Dominion of Canada.
Upon the first of May only nine months
after its beginning work, the Company had
issued five thousand policies-a success I'M
precedented in the history of Insurance.
This is purely stock company, for which
there is this to say: that while it does not
always make as glowing promises to the
insured as some of the companies organ
lied upon the other plan, it faithfully full
fills every letter of the plain business con-
tract which it makes with its customers
1t has low rates for certain fixed return;
there are no possible uncertainties of notes
or dividends, and no complications or dis
appointments at the death of the insured.
The simplicity of the system, and the cer-
tainty of the position occupied are recon-
mendations too strong to be overlooked.
We have spoken of the large business
already done by this Company. 1t has also
met with losses by death of the insured,
but these losses have been of such a char
acter and so promptly adjusted, that they
have strengthened the Company, where the
circumstances were known. Rev. Lambert
S. Fine, clergyman of Troy, Bradford
county, Pa, paid s10O.25 on December list,
1868, for $1,000 policy. He died March
5th. 1869, and on the list of April the $1,000,
with no deduction for notes. was paid to
his family, this being the only provision
which the deceased had been able to make
for their future comfort. Could any other
possible investment of one hundred dollars
on his part have proved so judicious or pro
titable? Another case was that of Louis
II. Piaget, of Franklin, Pa, who insured
for 81, ZOO, and died six weeks thereafter.
In this case the prompt payment of the
s., 900 enabled the agent to effect $4,000
more of insurance upon the appreciative
neghbors of the deceased.
Based upon ample financial capital-$l,-
100000 paid up-conducted upon strict
business principles and managed by men
of national reputation for honesty and sa-
gacity, this Company justly deserves the
front rank it has taken in the insurance
corps. The advertisement of the local
agent for the National Life will be found
in another column.

SHALL. WOMEN AND CoLoRED MEN BE ADJ
MITTED INTO THE TRADEs-UN1ONs?
During the session of the National Typo
graphical Union in Memphis in 1867, the
negro made his appearance for the first
time in the history of that organization
Soon after the capture of New Orleans by
Admiral Farragut, some educated eolored
men of the Crescent City started daily
newspaper called the Tribune. Their jour
nal still exists, its editors, compositors and
pressmen were all of African descent. The
black printers, recognizing the benefits
conferred by trade societies, made applica-
ton for admission to the New Topographic
cal Union. They We're denied solely be-
cause God had given them black SKINS
We have heard that the negroes aftcrward
formed society of their own, but they
have never applied to the National Union
for a charter. The subject was introduced
into the National Convention at Memphis
by Mr.. S. A. Gray, one of the delegates
from New Orleans. The debate was long
and bitter. The president of the National
Society, Mr.. John H. Obcrly, Of Cairo H..
though the editor of 4 staunch Democratic
Journal, threw off all his political prejudices
and approved the admission to the local
Unions of all competent and honorable
printers, without regard to compleXion.-
During the heat of the discussion, fire.
eating delegate from New Orleans snapped
his thumb and finger in the face of Mr..
Oberly, and said that it made no difference
! what the National Union ordered, the New
Orleans Union would never recognize a
''nigger' as an honorable craftsman.-
"Then,' said President Obcrly, rising to
his feet 'the charter of the New Orleans
Union will be revoked To add fuel to
the flame. the woman question was thrown
into the debate: The organization of
wo1nen's Typographical Unions was strong
ly opposed. Finally, the National Union
decided that the question Of the admission
of colored members was purely a local mat
ter. and as such should be left with the
local Unions. The woman question was
disposed of in a similar way, with the cx-
ception that the National Union advised
/ the local Unions to receive or recognize
women as members of the craft. In other
words. the National Union, instead of dis
posing of the question in straightforward
manner, lodged it. We see no reason why
colored men should be denied admission to
printers Unions in this country. They are
recognized in the English, French, West
Indian, and Canadian trade socitics. When
visiting this country their cards are received
without hesitation. The foreign may be
better than the domestic article, but we
don't believe that New York Topographic
cal Union No. 6 so regard it.
