Matrimonial Insurance in Mississippi.

EA
A correspondent in Jackson, Mississippi,
writes as follows concerning the marriage
insurance mania in that State =
The marriage insurance craze in this
State is astonishing. Some time ago one
or two companies were started upon the as
sessment plan, proposing to pay a specified
amount upon the marriage of a member,
provided that no one could claim a benefit
who married before the expiration of six
months from date of certificate of member
snip. Very soon, other associations were
organized, proposing to pay in three months
and IN May one was launched proposing to
pay for each day a member remained single;
and to-day there are overthirty such organ
lzations in Jackson alone, to say nothing
of other places.
Men and women are investing all they
can earn in this wild scheme. Merchants
leave their stores in charge of employees, if
they can find any who are not as crazy as
as themselves, to run the companies or
speculate in the risks, and sober, staid
church members are running wild after
chances in this matrimonial lottery. If
you go out upon the streets, you will see
men hurrying along with their hands full
of these so-called policies, or other. papers
pertaining to these concerns, and if you
approach a group of persons you will almost
certainly hear them comparing risks and
calculating the possibilities of realizing on
their policies before the concerns fail.
If it is ascertained that a party is pro-
posing to marry, he or she, perhaps both,
are besieged by men proposing to insure
them and pay them a pro rata of the
profits. L heard of one party who mar
ried a few days since who was in
sured in two hundred companies. When
one of these insured persons marries, men
are posted off to be on hand, and get up the
proofs so as 10 file them and get their first
chance of the next assessment. A few days
since, at a wedding in this city, men took
the minister in hand to sign proofs of mar
riage before the bridal party left the church.
Almost every man you meet is carrying
several risks on persons who insure with
the distinct understanding that they will
marry on a certain day, not far off. Such a
craze this writer never saw gamblers have
quit the card tables and faro banks to en-
gage in this speculation, and it is said that
the lotteries are about to suspend for want
of ticket-buyers. Was ever such a thing
carried on before in the nam of insurance ?
Every sensible man knows that the com
panies can't last, but each one expects to
realize on the policies he holds before the
collapse. Somebody will be left, but il
will not be Me-" says every man you talk
to about it.n
Whew!!! What a fraud. But this is
not all-the sacred institution of marriage
is degraded; the wishes of the families
most interested are sometimes set aside
through the management of men who care
nothing about the happiness of the parties
but simply wish to realize upon their invest
ments. 1t is said that in some instances
II men have in order
to get the money, and then Immediately
apply for a divorce.-Insurance Monitor.

THE B DIMPLE.

over the cradle the mother hung,
Softly cooling a slumber song,
And these were the simple words she sung
All the evening long.
Cheek or chin. or knuckle or knee,
Where shall the baby's dimple be
Where shall the angels finger rest,
When he comes down to the baby's nest2
Where shall the angels touch remain
When he awakens my baby againT'
Still as she bent and sang so low,
A murmur into her music broke,
And she paused 10 hear, for she could not know
The baby's angel spoke
"Cheek or chin, or knuckle or knee,
Where shall the baby's dimple be?
Who're shall my finger fall and rest
When l come down to the baby's nest?
Where shall my fingers touch remain
When / wake your baby again ?"
Silent the mother sat and dwelt
Long on the sweet delay Of choice,
And then by her baby's side she knelt,
And sang with pleasant voice:
mot on the limb, o angel dear
For the charms with its youth will disappear
Not on the cheek shall the dimple be,
For the harboring smile will fade and fee
But touch thou the chin with impress deep.
And my baby the angels seal shall keep

The following from a correspondent of
the albany CttltiUatOr will be of interest
to those who take pride in their poultry
yard "A correspondent writes that the
largest eggs he ever got were from Houdans,
{ which were about six to the pound
Houdan hens, when fully matured, lay large,
rather lOngish, white eggs, but they will
not do it until two or three years old. The
largest and richest eggs that l ever met
with were from the Spanish and Hamburg.
These two fowls crossed produce eggs very
lage, and rival the turkey eggs in fneness
and richness. Brown Leghorn eggs ordin-
arily weigh nine to the pound, on the
average selected ones probably would go
seven to the pound. There has of late been
an improvement In size of the Asiatic egg
over the first introduced Shanghai fowl.
Some Of the ~varities. as we'll as many of
their crosses, lay eggs rivalling in size those
of any other variety. In quality they do
not excel, usually possessing small yolks.
The true Brahma egg is rather small, and
of a fresh coffee color, with thick, heavy
shells. The eggs are generally uniform in
size and oval in shape. ThSsans5+sGe stond.
'ro' n0MsSss, 3 follows:-Light Brahmas
and Partridge COchins' eggs, seven to the
pound; they lay according to treatment and
keeping, from so to 100 per annum--eft-
times more, if well kept. Dark Brahmas,
eight to the pound, and about 10 per
annum. Black, white, and buff Cochins,
eight to the pound 100 is a large yield per
annum. Plymouth Rocks, eight to the
pound, lay 100 per annum Houdans,
eight to the pound, lay $50 per annum /;
non-sisters. La Fleche, seven to the pound,
lay $50 per non-sitters. Black
Spanish, seven to the pound, lay $50 per
annum. Dominiques, nine to the pound,
lay $50 per annum. Games, nine to the
pound, lay $50 per annum. Creveceurs,
seven to the pound, lay $50 per annum
Leghorns, nine to the pound, lay from l50 to
200 per annum. Handbags, nine to the
pound, lay 10 per annum. Polish, nine to
the pound, lay $50 per annum. Bantams
sixteen to the pound, lay 60 per annum
Turkeys, five to the pound, lay from 80 tc
60 per annum. Ducks vary greatly with
different species, but from five to six to the
pound, and from IA to % per annum, &C
cordIng to age and keeping. Geese. foul
to the pound, lay 20 per annum. Guineas
eleven to the pound. lay go per annum
The quality as we'll as the quantity of egg
is greatly owing to the keeping. Many
times the above weights may be exceeded
at others not reached. Keering and man
agement have much to do with it. While
it is to be regretted that so many of ou
valuable fowls appear to have disadvantage
consequent on Indifferent %rations, there ar
many times when highly priced and tende'
specimens do honor to the variety.

MA BELLE.


Ma belle, when southwark swallows fy,
With blitbsome twitter through the sky,
When gold and crimson burn
Upon the woodlands waving boughs,
And dreamily the cattle browse
Amid the dropping fern,
Then let us wander, you and 1,
Hand joined in hand right merrily,
Across the sunny world
where, in fitfuI autumn breeze,
he topmost banners of the trees
Are Haunting crimson, gold.
And there. where opes the woodland way,
Upon a giant bowlder, gray,
With moss and lichen hung,
Let rs awhile recline and tell
The Olden story, sweet ma belle,
And sing he songs they sung
Two lovers-so the legend goes
Who, where a blissful river flows
Through Powerful realms and fair,
Were ever won to wander by
Its grassy banks and sing for aye
Their love so faithful there.
Would'st thou and 1, ma belle, might be,
To wander there awhile
Might live a day in that old time
When gay words set themselves to rhyme
As ruby lips to smile.
But only for a day, ma belle,
However, bright the honeyed spell,
Would there L care to stray
Content am 1 with any spot
If thou wilt only share my lot,
Let that be what it may.
So when the swallows southward fly,
And swift the golden months fit by
And winter shrouds the dell,
Ny heart, like autumn, gay.and glad,
Will never know of SORROWS sad
II thou art there, ana belle.

The London Spectator says Miss Night
ingaIe has pointed out how constantly the
mental state of the dying depends on their
physical condition. As a rule. she tells US,
in acute cases interest in their own danger
is rarely felt. Indifference, except with
regard to bodily suffering, or to some duty
the diving man desires to perform, IS the far
more usual state. But patents who die OF
consumption very frequently die in a state
of seraphlc mind and peace the counten-
ance almost expresses rapture. PATIENTS
who die of cholera, peritonitis, etc. on the
contrary, often die in a state approaching
despair. In dysentery, diarrhea' or fever
the patient often dies in a state OF lndl1er-
ence." Those who have carefully
the dead on a battle field or in the streets
after an emeute, are struck with the tact
that while the expression on the faces OF
those who have died of gunshot wounds Is
one Ct agony and distress. the dead by
sword have a calmer expression, though
their wounds often seem more painful to
the eve. A very careful observer, who was
through the Indian mutiny, entirely con-
firms this. After giving several instances
he says I" A rapid death by steel is almost
painless. Sabre edge or point divides the
nerves SO quickly as to give little pain. A
bullet lacerates."
