2. The London Quarterly Review,

a. The London Quarterly Review,
which commences its 12Sth volume with the
January number, was set on fooS as a rival to
the EDlNBURGH. 1t resolutely maintains it's
opposition in politics, and shows equal vigor
n its literary department.
3. The Westminster Review
has just closed its Cpd volume. In point of
literary ability this Review is fast rising to a
level with its competitors. 1t is the advocate
of political and religious liberalism.
4. The North British Review,
now in its 51st volume, occupies a very high
position in periodical literature. Passing be-
yond the narrow Journalism OF schools and
parties, 1t appeals to a wider range of sympa-
thies and a higher integrity of conviction.
S. Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine

The Mound City Mutual Life Insurance
Company being a Home Institution, it should
be preferred by citizens of the South for ma
ny reasons. We will, however, enumerate
! only two or three.
]. The money invested in it is retained at
home, where it assists in promoting Western
and Southern trade and commerce, in build
ing up towns and cities. in developing our
rich mineral and agricultural resources, in
building our great lines Of railroad, and in
cnltivating our boundless p~rairies. For these
reasons Southern and Western men should
insure in it. So.
2. AS it's funds are all invested where high
rates of interest prevail, it can grant insurance
cheaper and pay better dividends than any
Eastern Company. For this reason all per-
sons desiring to make a certain and safe pro-
vision for their families. should insure in it.
3. FITS Local Board of Louisiana Directors
being composed of men of high standing in
the community. is a sufficient guarantee that
wido ws and orphans will be protected in their
rights, when policies issued by this Company
mature by reason of death or otherwise. THIS
feature is peculiar to this company, Ono other
institution beyond the limits of the State hav-
ing a local board,) and is, therefore, worthy
of the highest consideration.

pany. ALI policies non-forfeiting.

Exercise, a Moral Duty.

The faculties with which our Creator
has endowned us, both physical and
intellectual, are 30 dependent upon ex-
ercise for their proper development,
that action and industry must be regard
ed as among the primary duties Of ac-
countable man. I'm all our concep-
tions," says an ingenious writer, sex
ertion is connected with success and
renown." A triumph without an enc
my combated and a victory won, a prize
where no course is marked out, are no
tions which do not find a ready admis-
sion into oar minds. Such is our 0 n
stitution, that, according to our usual
train Of thinking. where there is no
exertion there can be neither honor
nor reward. Progress in moral and in
tellectual excellence is our duty, our
honor and our interest. To be stations
airy or ~retrogade is d~isgraceful. We
come into the world feeble in body and
in mind, but with the seeds Of improve
ment in both and these seeds grow
according to the cultivation they receive
from exercise. The body grows in sta
ture and in strength, and the mind
gradually expands; but exercise is re-
quisite to the development both of our
corporeal and mental capacities. In
the course of years, indeed, the body
grows; but without exercise, 1t is lump
ish, feeble and inactive and the mind,
wholly undiscipined, remains in a
weak and infantile state. That exer-
else which is requisite in order to bodi-
~ health and vigor, and to the evolu-
ton Of our intellectual and moral pow
ers, is not only the chief mean Of our
improvement, but also the main source.
of our happiness. Without exercise Of
body and Of mind, there can be no hap
piness.
