This Company has met with success beyond

Southern public Home Enterprise equal to any
and surpassed by none in existence. ~ q

It has paid for losses of $31, 600 and in every
instance waived the ninety days time and paid
at once. s e1f st.i4.e 4s
1t advises the payment of all cash pren:ias,as,
because then dividends will continually decrease
each next payment until nothing will be requlr-
ed, and the policy may be source of income,
but it will allow one half loan on life and JOINT
life policies One-third loan on other participa-
ting policies.
1t requires no notes for loans of the part of
premiums, but endorses the loan of its policies
until absorbed by dividends or policy is payable
1t has no restriction on residence travel
All its policies are non -forfeitabe and the right
of parties guaranteed the face of the policy, as
part of the contract. ng ld
1t has the following feature which no other
company gives: The late war taught many the
penalty Of being separated from the Home Office
by having their part payment forfeited. 1.-The
Piedmont guards against this in her policies and
in event of separation from its Office by any in
tervention guarantees to such all the right Of nom
forfeiture paid up policy, surrender value and
reinstatement as though there had been no inter-
vening cause. aau -aseiszs s&
Its investments are made for benefit of South
ern advancement. sG1 So hs-eeIe-
1t brings money to our people--keeps money
with our people. Then why should they contin-
ue to lmpoverish themselves by sending money
off which can as easiy-as safely-as proftably
be spent at home
The Piedmont asks all who wish to insure to
compare its observation-disclosures with any
company, and feels confident its merits will equal
any other company. t<g a'-@

Thackeray says it is better for you to pass an
evening once or twice week in lady's draw
ing room, even though the conversation is rath-
er slow, and you know the girls songs by heart,
than at club or tavern. All men who avoid
female society have dull perceptions or gross
tastes, and revolt against what is pure. =

The Atheist and the Flower.

When Napoleon Bonaparte was Emperor Of
France, he put man by the name OF ChaTney
into prison. He thought Charney was On en-
emy of his government, and for that reason de-
prived him of his liberty. Charney wa 3
learned and profound man, and as he walked
to and fro in the small yard into when his
prison opened, he looked up to the heavens,
the work of Gods fingers, and the moon and
stars which He ordained, and exclaimed, All
things come by chance" Ia-Ig7 aiA
One day, while pacing his yard, he saw a
tiny plant, Just breaking from the ground near
the wall. The sight of it caused a pleasant di-
version of his thoughts No other green thing
was within his inclosure. He watched its
growth every day. How came it here?'' was
the natural inquiry. As it grew, other que
ries were suggested How came these deli
cate little veins in its leaves? What made its
proportions so perfect in every part, each new
branch taking its exact place on the parent
stock, neither too near another, nor too u.uct
on one side ?''
In his loneliness, the plant became the prison
er' teacher and his valued friend. When the
flower began to unfold, he was filled with de-
light, 1t was white, purple and rose-colored,
with fine, sllvery fringe. Charney made
frame to support it, and did what his cscJul-
stances allowed to shelter it from the peiting
rains and violent winds. l',-7 7~ra.7 8 III
All things come by chance, had been writ
ten by him upon the wall, just above WHERE the
flower grew. Its gentle reproof, as ii whisper
ed: "There is One who made me, so wonder
fully beautiful and he it is who keeps me
alive" shamed the proud man. unbelief He
brushed the lying words from the wall, while
his heart felt that, ''He who made all things is
God."a l1a6 s,a.a ~ 7-r -sr
But God had further blessing for the er-
ring man through the humble flower There
was an Italian prisoner In the same yard, whose
little daughter was permitted to visit him.
The girl was much pleased with Charneys love
for his flower. She related what she saw to
the wife of the jailor. The story of the pris-
oner and his flower passed from one to anoth-
er, until it reached the ears of the amiable En-
press Josephine. The Empress said 1.-The
man who so devotedly loves and tends flower
cannot be bad man." So she persuaded the
Emperor to set him at liberty.
Charney carried his flower home, and care
fully tended it in his own greenhouse 1t had
taught him to believe in God, and had cleliv-
cred him from prison. .e-5.V ,fzsI.rs a}

Happiness is another name for love, for wnere
love exists in a household there hardness
must exist, even though it has poverty for a
close companion. Where love exists not. even
though it be in a palace. happiness can never
come. He was a cold and selfish being who
originated the saying that when poverty
comes in the door, love flies out of the window
and his assertions prove conclusively that ne
had no knowledge OF love, for, unquestlocaby,
the reverse of it is true, and love is more than
ever inclined to tarry and to battle with the en-
emy.1 Let those who imagine themselves mis-

DoN'T PAMpER THE CLERGY.-Heaven help
the minister who is often invited to tea by bis
parishioners. He is expected to eat all the in-
digestible horrors which are set before bin.
La their generosity his parishoners forget upon
such occasions that his strength is not the
strength of stones, neither is his flesh made of
brass. What the minister eats represents his
sermons, prayer-moeting remarks and CONVEX
sations Do not wonder when supper is finish
ed, if the poor man says we possess months of
vanity, and our days are as shadows Poor
man! He goes home stuffed and miserable.
He is scared by dreams and terrified by visions
He feels it would have been wiser and better for
him to have eaten handful in quietness.
Parishioners must have bowels of compassion,
literally and carnally speaking, for those of
their ministers. They must not pile too much
on their minister's plate. When he refuses
anything, it has been to him the meat OF sor-
row. An overloaded stomach has caused many
gloomy prayer-meetings, and produced many
doleful sermons 'l.4-N Q -
