WHO SHOULD INSURE!
The rich and the poor; the clergyman and
the laymen; the physician, the lawyer, the
merchant, the mechanic and the laborer.-
Every one having family dependent upon
him for support should effect an insurance on
his life for their benefit in case of his decease;
the rich, because they have the means to pro-
vide against the chances of fortune; the poor
man can spare a little every year for the fu-
ture wants OF those who may, be left destitute,
the professional man, while in life and health,
| finds sure means Of support for his family,
vet he rarely accumuates fortunes: the sal.
| aried man, because none are more exposed 10
the changes and yicissitudes of fortune. In
short Life Assurance is applicable to all cir.
cumstances in life.
AN EXCELLENT FEATURE.
The character OF this company specially
provides that wife can insure the life Of the
husband for the benefit of herself and children,
free from any claims, dues or demands Of his
creditors in case her husband should die in
debt or the estate become insolvent. ssh

tools by which DR.. Black discovered
latent heat. A prism. q lens, and a
sheet Of pasteboard enabled Newton to
unfold the composition Of light and the
origin of color. An eminent foreign
savant once called upon Dr. Wall1stQn
and requested to he shown over the
laboratories in which science had been

The Country Press.

The following truthful article is ia
ken from one OF the ablest papers in
the South.
Our duty is too often overlooked
60 into one half Of the houses OF the
country, and there will be found New
York newspapers. ana Philadelphia
Magazines, and foreign literature Of
every kind, while Of newspapers advo-
eating the interests OF their own State
and the country, no one can be found.
This is grossly unjust. liza man has
three dollars Il year, or ten cents a
week to spend in information for his
family, his duty as citizen, is to take
bis own State and county paper. Let
Him imagine il he can, what his State
would be without paper within her
borders, and then let him ask himself
what he is doing to support it.
But some excuse themselves for TAX
ing Metropolitan paper on the ground
that they contain more reading matter
than these published at home. True
cnough--simply for the reason they
are supported. Every dollar sent to a
foreign paper is at the expense not on
iy Of his own local paper, but of the
interests of his own State and county.
We don't ask this for the local press
as 4 matter Of charity, but Of justice.
A good paper can do more good for a
town than any town can do for a pa
per. But few appreciate the local
press as they ought. They overlook
the fact that its conductors are the the
most sclf.sacriticing men in the coun-
try. From one years enu H. another,
they devote their talent AMI energies
TO the building up Of their localities,
even to the neglect Of their pecuniary
interests.
Yet the local press is sneered at, and
given tie cold shoulder, forgetting that
the little pebble is as necessary for ma
King the mountain as the boulder or
hnge mass Of granite. The local press
holds as inportanta position as the
ril does to the river which runs ocean
ward. ltis bad policy to starve them,
as it would be for the mouth Of the
stream to dam up the fountains from
which it obtains its life. The interests
of the city press and the local press are
identical and should be fostered alike,
as Zach has its duties to perform in
its peculiar provinces. The conductors
Of the country press may sometimes
err in judgment or fail to carry out
their plans to the fullest extent-but
the Metropolitan press is open to the
same charge. We repeat it is the first
duty Of a man-a duty that is impera-
tive--to sustain his local press with a
liberal hand, and not to let it languish
for want of that support.

In the middle ages the fires in the
houses were made in cavity in the
centre ofthc floor, over which there
generally was an opening of the roof
for the escape ofthc smoke and when
the fire was out OF the family retired
to rest, the place in which it was made
was closed by cover. In those days
Il law was almost universally establish
ed on the continent that fires should
be eAtinguished and families all q. home

The way to get along in the world
is to make every step one that is ahead
and each TO follow tits predecessor.
Fully fifty per cent. Of the effort of the
world is absolutely wasted in indirect,
dih'use, ind finite labors. Young men
start out in life without purpose or
point, casting thought neither on
their fitness or unfitness for particu-
lar calling; now doing this then that,
and after that nothing; one day going
on, another on the right (which is
wrong) or left, the next backward,
and then not going at all, which is per
haps as bad as the whole combined
The right line in life is that one which
leads straight ahead. This almost al
ways secures success. There is q cart
driver in Philadelphia who drives his
span on Broad street afternoons, gath
ers his dividends..on Third street fore
moons and lives in brown stone palace
He did not disdain an unsavory calling
pushed and made it pay, and remained
on the pine scat until he could afford
to lift himself over to hair and plush
Step early, step often, but above all
step right ahead.

less in sezing property in the Southern
States after June Both, 1865" This
