1t has come to pass, and rightly too,
that public opinion considers the duty OF
no man with a family really done before
he has insured his life for its protection.
Life insurance meets public want as uni.

by fire insurance. The demand, too, is
for low rates, financial strength, liberal
policies and prudent management, and we

BINDING SIEEAVES.

Reaper 1 asked, among the golden sheaves,
Toiling at noon amid the falling leaves
What recompense hast thou for all thy toll,
What 1.-THE of all thy Masters wine and oil?
Or dost thou coin thy brow's hot drops to gold,
Or add to house and land or flock and fold :"
The reaper paused from binding close the grain
And said, while shone his smile through labor's
stain,
I" i do my Masters work as he has Taught
And work Of lore with gold was never bought.
He knoweth all of which my life hath need,
His servants reap as they have sown the seed.
With all my heart bind my Masters grain,
And love makes sweet my labor and my pain
Then bending low beneath the burning
The reaper toiled until the day was done.
" Lo here, / said, love 5 largess seemeth more
Than eruse Of wine, or oil that runneth Ger.
If work of love such store of wealth doth yield
too will labor in the Masters field.

THERE is moment in the life of every

throw off It's letters, and he feels it
to be a moral impossibility for him, to
go through the task assigned to him,
when he feels that he bad almost rather

He is half white and half black, not in

but the lower half of his body is winter
than white folks usually are. while the
upper portion is black as midnight. His
monther, coal-black negress, was with
him, and they left on the Nashville train
at O'Clock last evening. He is but
three years old, and has already learned
to make money out of his peculiarities.
He made several nickels yesterday in

of perfectly beautiful hair on the top of
his head, which is surrounded by little
kinky negro wool, -LouiSrdle Ledger.

Don't invest all yonr money in lottery

draw prize.
Don't white pine boxes for a living
1t blisters ones hand so badly.
Don't loaf about the streets and depend
on the lord for your daily bread He
isn't running bakery.
Don't spend all your time watching
your neighbors. Every man should be
selfish enough to devote few hours to
his own business.
Don't try to make reputation for bra
very by fighting the tiger. Any boy can
throw chips.
Don't imagine that the Lord will call
first clas preacher to church paying a
second class salary. He don't treat his
servants so shabbily.
Don't measure a man by the length of
his purse. Capt. Kidd was wealthy.
Don't disturb hornets nest. You will
