A Good Dog Story.

Mr.. Beecher, in his Christian Union,
vouches for the truth Of this story:
A narrow log lay at bridge over a
ravine. From the opposite ends of the
log, at the same moment, there started
to cross it big Newfoundland and II
little Italian greyhound. OF course
they met in the middle; of course there
was not room for them to pass; neither
could they go back. The height was
dangerous one for the greyhound, and
to the water at the bottom he was ex
tremely ayerse. The Newfoundland
could have taken the leap in safety, but
evidently did not want to. There was
a fix! The little dog sat on his haunch-
es, stuck his nose straight up in the air
and howled. The Newfoundland stood
intent, his face solemn with inward
workings. Presently he gave a nudge
with his nose to the bowling greyhound
--as if to say, abe still, youngster, and
listen" Then there was silence and
seeming eonfabulation for second or
two. Immediately the big dog spread
his legs wide apart like Colossus, be.
stridlng the log on its extreme outer
edges, and balancing himself carefully.
The little dog sprang through the open.
ing like fash. When they reached
the opposite shore the greyhound broke
into frantic gambols Of delight; and
the Newfoundland after the more sedate
fashion expressed great complacency in
his achievement-as he surely had
right to do.

one as the labor grew towards an end.
Then, one after another Of the friends
aud partisans Of the contestants would
be seen breaking ranks and running to
the wood pile for the purpose ofeutting
lapwood stick Of convenient length for
a acudgel, which was intended for friend
u contact with some rivals Uranium.
These cudgels would be concealed in a
neighboriug straw stack, for convenient
use when the fighting commenced, which
was generally deferred until after the
huskiug was over; but frequeatly the
white men, aud especially the proprie
tor, who kept vigilaat eye on all that
was going on, would go quietly around
among the straw stacks aud capture all
the hidden cudgels, SO that when the
belligerents waited to make use of them
they were not to be found. In this way
broken heads were prevented. Ru,
fighting did not often take place at the
huskiug, for the gentlemen present
generally succeeded id preventing any
serious disturbance among the negroes
The husking over, which generally
brought the hour Of midnight, the VIC
torious party would gather around their
captain, and raising him upon their
shoulders march several times round
the barn yard, singing their songs Of
triumph aud shouting over their we'll.
earned victory. Now commenced the
feast A large table was spread in the
kitchen, loaded with mutton, roast pig,
turkey, chicken, ham aud many other
edibles, to all of which the keen appe.
tites Of the laborers did ample justice
While they were partaking Of the good
cheer so beautifully provided, mirth
and merriment ruled the hour, aud the
antics and tricks played upon each
other kept the table in an uproar of
laughter.
The feast ended, the bauj was brought
out, the company dancing and keeping
time with their feet to the beating of
juba," their spirits enlivened by a
glass Of "apple" or "peach," fresh
from some neighboring still. After au
hour or two spent iu this way, the mer
riment ceased aud the huskers filed off
in different gangs, singing as they went.
their old familiar corn songs The next
day the farmer and his 'hands" were
busy cleaning up the remnant of corn
left by tho huskers, aud usually came
across some barrels Of ears covered up 10
the husks the previous night, by the
huskers, in order to excel each other in
first getting through with their work.
This was always looked for, as each
party would cheat the other if it could.
A day or two of active labor by the
" hands" on the farm, after the general
huskiug, usually wound up the work,
after which the "loftiug," or housing
commenced. Thus ended the corn
huskiug, which continued through the
months of October and November, the
laborers going from farm to farm, as
suited the convenience of the farmers.
The labor was thus greatly lightencd,
and the men enjoyed these rustic frolics,
aud would never be absent from them
# in their power to be present, though
living miles away.

rINHE advan iages Of Life Insurance are SO
manifold and manifest that general inquiry
is made concerning it. All good men wish to
provide for those dependant upon them. Pro-
vision to be certain must be Immediate. The
only immediate provision is by Life Insurance.
great and important question is, where shall
| insure Reason, seltrespect, self-interest,
the laws of trade and commerce that govern
thrifty and intelligent people indicate that
man should insure at home, where he lives,
makes his money, pays his taxes and expects
to leave his property and his family. Ii Is as
humiliating as /, is nuinous for us to send mil
lions of dollars out of our State annually for
Life Insurance that should be kept at home.
Money IN Maryland is scarce, interest high, and
property low, because we are sending so much
Of it away. There is certainly no necessity
for this, because equal intelligence and equal
morals will make Savings Banks, Life and Fire
Insurance Companies, Lawyers, Doctors, Mer-
chants or anything else, here equal to those in
other States. II is an axiom that in all kinds
Of business danger dillicnlty and loss increases
in ratio Of distance. Recent experience proves
clearly that it is safer and better In both Life
and Fire to be insured at home. 1t is poor
compliment TO ourCiiizens and State and In
pau tAslt 10 ucptecihle our own INSTITUTIONS
and indirectly depreciatc those who control
them.
Fortunately for our State prosperity, the
people are beginning TO see this Our last
January report to the Comptroller of the
State was so satisfactory and gratifying as to
call forth editorial oommendations from the
principal papers in Baltimore.
Few companies are in as good condition as
the Maryland, and as il is ours and keeps the
