contributors,
z. The London Quarterly Review
which commences its 128sh volume, with the
January number, was set on foot as a rival to

opposition in politics, and shows equal vigor

q. The Westminster Review
has just closed it's 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 5lst volume, occupies a very high
position in periodical literature. Passing be-
You'd the narrow Journalism OF schools and
parties, it appeals to a wider range Of sy1npa-
and a higher integrity of conviction.

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.
2. As its 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. Its Local Board of Louisiana Directors
being composed of men of high standing in
the community. is a sufficient guarantee that
widows 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.
All kinds of Policies are issued by this COM
pany. All policies non-forfeiting. ,
This company makes no charge for policy,
fee or stamps.

BOYS, LEARN FARMING Why /
Want the Boys to Learn Farmimg.-
Every pursuit or calling that ministers
to the s~ustenance, comfort or %enlighten-
nent of mankind is honorable and Iaud-
able. That is a narrow and essentially
false conception which regards the far
mer al more a benefactor than Il bene-
fciary, aud stigmatizes as drones and
cormorants all who do not directly con-
tribute to the production and increase Of
material wealth The upright, able
lawyer, the studious, skillful physician,
the pious, loving clergyman, are work
ipemea as truly and quite as nobly as
though they were wood choppers or
b~ricklayers. He who, by whatever
means, Helps to diminish the fearful
aggregate of ignorance, sin and suffering
in the world, and dihuse instead knowl-
edge, virtue and happiness, is worthy of.
all honor, and far from me be the wish
to discourage or degrade him. And
vet [ hold it the duty of every father
to look well to the physical and indus
trial training to efficiency in some pur-
suit which ministers directly to the ma
terial or physical needs of mankind.
My reasons for this conviction are sum-
med up as follows
The demand for intellectual labor
or its products, and even for mercantile
capacity, is exceedingly capricious. In
a season of commercial prosperity a
great city affords employment to thous-
ands as clerks, book-keepers, teachers of
music, languages, ETC.. who win nearly
all be left high and dry by the ebb of
the tide. War, pestilence, a bad har-
vest, a business ~revulsion, throws them
suddenly out of employment. and no
merit or excellance on their part can
avert the catastrophy. I would have
every one so armed and equipped for
the battle of life that, if suddenly un-
horsed, he can fight on efficiently and
undismayedly on foot.
~~--@~.-~
To FATTEN A Poor HoRsE.-Many
good horses devour large quantities Of
grain or hay, and still continue thin and
poor; the food eaten is not properly as
simulated. IF the usual feed has been
unground grain and hay, nothing but a
change will effect any desirable ~altera-
ton in the appearance Of the animal.
In case oat meal cannot be obtained
readily, mingle a bushef of fax seed
with a bushel of barley, one of oats,
and another bushel of Indian corn, and
let it be ground into fine meal. This
will be a fair proportion for all his feed.
Or the meal, or the barley, oats and
corn, Ia equal quantities, may first be
procured, and one-fourth part of oil cake
with ii, when the meal is
sprinkled on cut feed.
Feed two or three quarts Of the mix
two or three times daily, mingled
with q peck of cut hay and straw. If
the horse will eat that greedily let the
quantity be gradually increased until
he will eat four or six quarts at every
feeding, three times q day. So long as
the animal will eat this allowance, the
quantity may be increased a little every
day. But avoid the practice of allow
ing a horse to stand at a rack well filled
with hay. I'm order to fatten a horse
has run down in flesh the groom
should be very particular to feed the
animal no more than he will eat up
and lick his manger for more.

If the above good Companies have succeed

A Pen PICTURE OF BRoADwAY.--The
fashion writer for the Chicago Tribune
comes to New York and puts up at the
St. Nicholas, and this is what he saw !:
"They say. here that New York is dull.
TO me it is perfect Babel. The people
seem to spend all the morning in going
down Broadway, and all the afternoon
in going up. Business consumes four
hours day. The men are very well
dressed, always kid gloved, sleepy, and
stare insolently at everybody. The wo-
men curve their chins and look independ-
ent and little licentious. The children
are epitomes of their mothers, and have
the same swagger in their cunning boots
and walking dresses. Even the babies
are 80 smothered in Valenciennes and
null that they look like human poodlss.
But there is contrasting side, for have
not moved block since l came here
without hearing some one whine in my
ear, "A penny for the love Of God.
