YES OR NO.


You ask Tonight my daughters hand,
As you'd request a toy
Do you know the weight of your demand
On mothers heart, my boy?
You say You love her wildly; well,
VIII 1t last to the end Of time
Or will the ring of the wedding bell
ResouBd its dying chime2
The heart you crave is a holy thing,
So tender, trusting true;
Can you to her devotion bring
Aswarm as hers to you?
VIII you love her through the changing years
AS tenderly as now,
When Ills shall pale, or sorrows tears
Becloud her sunny brow?
When age shall bow her graceful form,
And bleach her ietty hair,
VIII You protect her throu Oh each storm
And shelter her from care?
When time shall dim her sparkling eye
And winter burrows show,
Wtilyour love be the last to die?
II not, answer, No.
Remember that her future life
Would every day be yours;
loving woman when wife
To one that she adores,
Has no existence of her own
Apart from him she loves;
She lives henceforth for him alone,
And III his orbit moves.
Che molds her wishes to his will,
Fer ways to his desires;
He leads her by loves willing web
Through hfes refining fires;
She walks with him through thorny fields,
And DER HES rugged road;
Te is her Idol and Heal,
Her guide and household god
So, IL your love will 1.-Two and burn,
And bless her future years;
II you wi II give her IN return
The trust that life endears;
If you viii guide her destiny,
AMI shield her from distress,
VIII always live, adoring her,
Why then, answer, Yes.

INSURANCE.

AS General Receiver of the Circuit Court, very
ten directed to loan money real estate security.
In making loans, as well for my own protection as
hat of the borrower require that the property be
insured against IRE.
Is Of course, of the utmost importance that the
insurance company issuing policies should be per-
perfectly solvent l. g. that the not simply
words and figures, but that such securities as are
known to the policy holder be, FIRST solvent; and,
second easily converted into money when necessity
demands it.
After a careful examination Of the liabilities and
resources Of the
HOME INSURANCE COMPANY,
of Columbus, Georgia,
have determined to give them all my business, or
at least as much as they will accept.
For my own convenience, 1 have accepted the
agency of this company, and while my other duties
will not permit to solicit business for them in
general way, yet will glad explain the merits
Of the company and take the application of any one
desiring to ensure.

EELs IN BosToNs DRINKING WATER-Few per-
sons are aware OF the quantity Of cells living ana
growing In the large water pipes in this city, The
nature of this fish is such that it exist without
access to light and air, and the mud and silt In the
main pipes afford favorable ground for prOpaga-
ton and growth. The current is not so rapid as
to prevent their free circulation, and there thew
live for years, and some times grow to enormous
size. They not likely to enter the small outlets
Or supply pipes for houses and yet we find in the
last report OF the Boston water board that 9S6
stoppages of these pipes by fish have occurred in
the past year. But the enormous number of cells
existing In the pipes is shown by the number dis
charged from any outlet OF considerable size The
Standard sugar refinery in South Boston uses a
large amount OF water: which is discharged into a
meter through four-inch pipe. TO protect this
meter IL was necessary to construct an eel tran
through which the fish could not pass This tran
had to be frequently cleansed, sometimes every
day, and seven eels weighing TWENTY-FIVE pounds
have been taken as the accumulation of a single
day. Some OF these are OF great size measuring
three ieet IN length, as large round as a mans
wrist, ana weighing six and quarter and six and
a half pounds. So troublesome did this matter be-
come that the water board were Obliged to con-
Struct an eel trap in the street in connection with
the main pipe, and thus prevent their entrance
into the Iour-inch service pipe. II this Immense
number OF eeiS can invest a fOur-inch pipe so far
distant, there can be do doubt OF the condition
of the larger mains in other parts of the city.
