Nor IN THE HUMoR.-As the polite omnibus
agent of the Lexington and Louisville Railroad
was going through the ladies' car, checking
baggage, he asked very pretty young lady If
she had any baggage which she wished taken
to the hotels? She replied,
No sir
The agent then asked her if she desired a
bus? She instantly gave him sweet smile and
replied .a.as9
No, I'm not in bussiug humor this even
ing
The agent dropped his memorandum book,
hastily retired to the baggage car, and said he
felt unwell.

NUMBER XII.
Old Age.

Fling down the faded blossoms of the spring,
N Ncr clasp the roses with regretful hand;
The JOY of summer is a vanished thing;
Let it depart and learn to understand
The gadness of great calm-the autumn rest,
The peace-of human joys the latest and the
best.
All / remember how in early days
The primrose and the wild-fower grew be-
side
Ny tangled forest paths, whose devious ways
Filled me with joys of mysteries untried
And terror that was more than half delight,
And sense of budding life, and longings inf
mite.
And l remember how, in life's hot noon,
Around my path the lavish roses shed
Color and fragrance, and the air of June
Breathed rapture-now those summer days
are fed
Days of sweet peril, when the serpent lay
Lurking at every turn of life's enchanted way
The light of spring, the summer glow, are o er,
And rejoice in knowing that for me
The woodbne and the roses bloom no more,
The tender green is gone from field and tree
Brown barren sprays stand clear against the
blue;
And leaves fall fast, and let the truthful sum
light through.
For me the hooded herbs of autumn grow.
Square stemmed and sober; mint and sage
Horehound and balm-such plants as healers
Auu Iue Oecliue OF lie IOnS pilgrimage
Is soft and sweet with marjoram and thyme;
Bright with pure evening dew, not serpent's
ghttering slime.
And around my path the aromatic air
Breathes health and perfume, and the turfy
ground
Is solt for weary feet and smooth and fair
With little thornless blossoms that abound
In safe dry places, where the mountain side
Lies to the setting sun, and no i'll beast can
hide
What is there to regret? Why should !
To leave the forest and the marsh behind,
Or toward the rank, low meadows sadly turn?
Since here another loveliness l find,
Safer and not less beautiful-and blest
With glimpses, faint and far, of the long
wished for rest.
And so drop the roses from my hand,
And let the thorn pricks heal, and take my
way
Down hill, across a fair and peaceful land
Lapt in the golden calm OF dying day,
Glad that the night is near, and glad to know
That, rough or smooth the way, hare not far
to 40.

A good Methodist minister who lived on a
very small salary, was greatly troubled at one
time to get his quarterly installment. He had
called number of times but each time he had
been put off with some excuse. At length he
went to his steward and told him he must have
his money, for his family was suffering for the
necessaries OF life Money!" replied the
steward, 'syou preach for money, l thought you
preached for the good of souls!' 'Souls |" re-
piled the minister, II can t eat souls, and if
could, it would take thousand such souls as
yours to make decent meal."

It advises the payment of all cash prenaiunas,
because then dividends will continually decrease
each next payment until nothing will be requir-
ed, and the policy may be a source OF income,
but it will allow one-half loan on life and JOINT
life policies Qne-third loan on other participa-
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.
It has no restriction on residence or travel
All its policies are non n-forfeitable and the right
of parties guaranteed on the tdce Of the policy, as
part Of the contract. +.
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. '"The
Piedmont guards against this in her policies and
in event of separation from its Office by any in
teryention guarantees to such all the right of non-
forfeiture paid up policy, surrender value and
reinstatement as though there had been no inter-
vening cause.
Its investments are made for benefit of South
ern advancement.
It brings money to our people-keeps money
with our people. Then why should they contin-
ue to impoverish themselves by sending money
off which can as easly-as safely-as pro6tably
be spent at home?
The Piedmont asks all who wish to insure to
compare its rates-terms-progress with any
company, and feels confident its merits will equal
any other company. +
