" IsIt a Sin to Love Thee?

Then my heart is dec-ply dyed,

And the blushes mount my brow,
And my oulses quicken wildly,
As my love-dreams come and go.
I feel my spirits weakness,

I feel my proud heart struggle

Than friendship can impart ;

Cotton and Corn,
A correspondent of the Southern Cul
tivator, writing from Sunder County.,
S. C, says:
"Cotton seed should bo weil rubbed in
plaster, ashes or dirt, as it enables the
sower to distribute the seed more uni
formly, besides possessing other advanta
ges.- The "barrel roller'.' is a most excel
lent invention for rolling cotton seed.
No doubt many will excluini that three
bushels to the acre is a waste of seed. A
smaller quantity often causes a greater
loss, not only of seed but of lint also. I
have been putting about thr.t quantity
ever since I have been planting, and
have never yet had any reason to regret
it, always regarding a good stand "a
matter of the very first importance;"
have never Used a cotton planter of any
patent?always hire a sufficient number
of hands to make the crop and Hud that
number quite sufficient to plant it in the
manner described ; besides that, it is com
mon some seasons to hear of bud staifds
resulting fro.n the use of cotton planters,
and consequent replanting which in my
humble opinion is the poorest business a
farmer can set about doing. The first
ploughing of cotton should bo done as
soon as possible after a stand of cotton
has been secured, with a three inch bull
tongue shovel or scooter, which is run
very close to the cotton, two furrows to
the row, completely choking up nil the
young grass, which can be done very
easily when the stand of cotton is very
thick.
To secure a good stand of corn, be sure
that the seed selected is unexcoptionnbly
good, and put at least two grains to the
hill, covering shallow if planted early,
and deep if late in the season. ^Iy ex
perience has taught, inc that it is safest
never to put the seed in direct contact
with manure of any kind. The thicker
corn is planted and the more highly it is
manured the greater the ntiinlx r of grains
that should be put to the hill. licplunt
ing highly manured coin is simply a
waste of seed, time and labor. The older
'corn moves off so rapidly, the replant is
soon shaded and never has any .-bowing
at all.? It is better to put peas in the
missing places.?Would hardly recom
mend drilled corn except in low bottom
land where it will be cxpo.-cd to the rav
ages of the bud worm."

Dedication of Alken Lodge of Ab
stinence, A No. 1 (Colored.)
Last evening a largo niul enthusiastic
meeting of tho friends of temperance
convened in the new Hall, (b'tilt by Mr.
O. D. Hayne), the occasion being the
dedication of the Jodga room of tho
Aiken Lodge of Abstinence, A No. 1.
The ceremony, which is highly symbolic
in its'teaching and calculated to impress
the mind most solemnly, was performed
by tho Rev. George J. Griffiths; acting
Surpreme Sachem, assisted by the officers
of the Lodge Mr, S. P. T. Fields acting
as Supreme Usher. The portion of the
ceremony which seemed to strike us as
most impressive was that representing
the "world being called into being."?
The room was artiicially darkened and
at the words "and Jehovah said let there
be light," tho room was lighted iu an
instant, which produced a most dazzling
effect. Then followed the words of ded
ication, "I dedicate this Lodge to Inno
cence." Response: "And may innocence
attend the lives of all its members."?
"I dedicate this Lodge to Truth." Re
sponse, "And may Truth surround the
lives of all its members." "I dedicate
this Lodge to Benevolence." Response,
"And may Rcnevolcneo attend the ac
tion of all its members." "I dedicate
this Lodge to Innocence, Benevolence
and Truth, and name it the Aiken Lodge
of Abstinence, A No 1." At the words
Innocence," ''Benevolence,"and "Truth''
the Supreme Sachem dipped n branch
of hyssop in a chalice of water and
.sprinkled the floor three times.
The officer* then formed hi proces
sion to their stations and the nudience
listened to a most eloquent address from
Rev. Mr. Beard, which was interrupted
by applause. Tho address concluded,
the choir sang "A charge to keep I have."
the nudience rising and joining in the
tloxology. The Supreme Sachem '.hen
closed the public ceremony in the usual
ledge formula, and the Sachem made the
following announcement. "Hear ye! Hear
ye! all you whom duty calls to this lodge
of Abstinence ! take timely warning! and
all who arc not entitled, by initiation,
to a seat in our sanctuary please retire
forthwith." And so wo forthwithed?

EBAD THEI FOZi&OWXNG- :
A lengthened experience has ch?mon-tratcd that tho rates of Premium ordinarily channel lir
Life Insurance ('?inipanies are frjl'il twenty-five to thirty pur coiit, in exce.-sol* what are in-ee^a/.
for a safe and legitimate conduct >f tho business. In otherwords, carefully ami prudently man
aged Companies charging "Mutual" rates have bc.cn al?!e to return t<i tlieir p?di?-y-holder's from
?J^) to Hi) per cent, of the amount charged for premiums.
When Life Insnramv Compare* were first organized, the reliability of the data upon which,
the premiums were constructed had not undergone the lest of experience. It was thought, thciv
fore, iio nmre than couttnoil pntUeiiee to adopt a scale of premiums which would, iu any event,
meet all the presumed and nnforsecii contingencies of the business.
As luii<: as the matter was iir.volveil in some doubt, it was better to fix the rate too high than to
incur tho risk of making it too low; because, in the fencer ease, the error could be easily rcmc
dicd, at lc:rt in part, by returning tu the policy-holders, at certain intervals, mu-Ii portion's ofihu
premium charged as was found unnecessary fur the purposes of the bu-incss and die complete
seeuritv nf the ('omi>any.
Experience, however, having satisfactorily; demonstrated that these rates are ejcecK-ive, what
possible excuse can there be for maintaining them?
Availing themselves of this experience, the Dirt dors and Managen; of the Universal Lift- In
surance Cmnpiiny at its organization, adopted a scab.' of premiums in accordance therewith", and
which has proved to be fair and adequate, and all that was necessary to meet the requirements of
the business. These premiums are about twenty-live per cent, lower than those charged by Mu
tual Companies*
It also appeared, inasmuch as the rates so established were as near as could possibly be deter
mined fait rate?, and not in excess Of what Ir.f.ur nice has previously, cost the policy-holder* in
Mutual Companies, that .thy profits arising from prudent management justly and properly be
longed to the stockholders of the Company, for the risk incurred by them'in undertaking tliv
business. #
Experience has kIiowii that there are pourcefl of profit in the practice of the bushuvs which
theory will not admit of being ?mshlore? as elements in tho calculationof the premiums. These
result from a saving in the mortality pf ".be in-.-mbers of a Company owing to the median] selco
don ofgootl lives, a gain in interest oil the imcstincnts of the Company over that assumed in
P.iC c alculation of its premiums, die profits deiivable from the lapsing and surrender of?Policic*
liv the members, and from oilier minor sonrcis.
' Prolii- from these sources, in a company possessed of a capital of .^'ititl.OOO, ami ?bang a fair
amount of business, would give to the stockholder.* divideuils largely iu excess of what were
counted oil by the I.Virectors of the l'inn;sul it the time of Its organisation. They have, tberc
fore, determined to divide among the policy-holders of the Company a lar^e part of the jwntitrt
accruing from the sourcca named, all of winch ln*ve heretofore been divided among the stock
The plan adopted tor such dividends is as follows: Every person who may hereafter iw-nre
with the Uuirereal will, for the purpose of dlVishm, Ik" treate?l as a stockholder to the extent of
one Annual Premium upon bis Policy; find tri// MHtt) in the profits ?/ the (Jowpany to precisely the
same extent as a Stockholuct mr'ni'j mi nyt.id t >i<?int of the capital stock.
l!y this system of ln-Hranee, original with the Unicersttl, the policy-holder secures the folhnv
ing important advantages:
