Policies issned on all the approved Mutual plana. It ?also issues Policies
at Stock rates, 2o per cent, under the mutual rate. But it does not advise
its patrons to,iBSure on the Stock plan, that plan- being very expensive in
the long run. '"p
It is known that dividends in a good Mutual Company will average about
65 per cent., especially at the South and West, where investments bring
good returns. .
9*0 per cent, of profits on the Mutual, business divided annually amongst
all the Mutual-Policy Holders without exception.
One-third ^PftJ^Oik Premiums, given when, desired. Interest charged only
upon first loan.
Where all Cash is paid, Policies will become self-sustaining; that is, pay
out, and have 50 per cent, added *o theic fac?s, which is one-third more
than the original sum insured.
Ample provision against forfeiture of Policies in the expressed terms of

"We aro sowing, daily sowing;
Countless seeds ol'"good and ill ;
Scattered on the level lowland,
Cast upon thc windy hill ;
Seeds that sink in rich brown fun
Soft with Heaven's gracious rail
Seeds that rest upon the surface
Of the the dry unyielding plain.
Seeds that fall amid the.stillnc.ss'
* Of the lowly mountain glen ;
Seeds east out in crowded places,
Trodden under foot of men ; .
Seeds by idle hearts forgotten,
Flung at random on thc air ;
Seeds by faithful souls remember
Sown in tears, and. 1 wc, and pru;
.Seedsthat lie-unchanged, unquicl
Lifeless on thc teaming mould ;
Seeds that live and grow and flour!
When thc sower's hand is cold.
By a whisper sow we blessings,
By a breath we scatter strife,
Tn our Words and'looks and actions
Lie the seeds of death and Hfe. ?
Thou, who knowest all our wenkne
Leave us not to sow alone !
Bid thine angels guard the furrows
Where the precious grain is sown
Till the fields are crowned with gio
Filled with tho mellow ripened t
Filled with fruit of lifo eternal.
From the seeds wo sowed in tears
Check the forward thoughts and pas
Stay tho hasty, heedless hands,
Lest the germs*of sin and sbrrow
Mar our fair and pleasant lands.
Father help each weak endeavor,
Make each faithful effort blest,
Till thine harvest shall be garnered,
And we enter into rest.
A Mormoii Love Story.
A Mormon, whom we call Bro
Nehi Gibons, took a wile at-the bk
ino age of 25. He was pious
industrious, and seemed to be per:
ly satisfied with his bride, w]
name was unfortunate for a herc
being plain Mary Ann. She was
best of wiv"es, and she sang in
choir, bore Nelli a child, and hel
to Cultivate his vine and fig t
Their apricots and pear trees g
and flourished, their cattle and sn
increased, and notlri -g seemed wi
ing in this comfortable establishrn
which was the envy of every yoi
ful saint.
Still, there was a skeldon in
closet. Mary Ann had a secret ?
a passion. ?She wauled Nelli to t?
a second wile ! This was not b
because he was ;i good and true m
and devoted ami able-bodied, but
cause she had .set her mind upon
other wife he was to take. M;
Ann wanted to provide for her bo.?
friend, Susan, who was in every u
deserving of Nebia affection, a
who loved Nelli as purely and
really as Mary Ann herself! Tl:
had conferred together about it. i
ry Ann, who could iiot. be hap
where Susan was- not?-even at Nel
-ide-hail broken the subject to
-an, and her clearest suspicions w?
ion firmed by the secret disci osi
"hat Loth the ladies loved the sal
saint.
Far from feeling indignant at ll
frank and forward confidence,-Neb
wife received it with delight. S
gave her maiden friend every ass
rance that their nulluni choice w
worthy of their united ambition, ai
they set to work to compel Kobi
accept another Mrs.GibboUfc It I
ing unseemly for Susan to do mo
than put nerself as frequently
possible in Mr. Gibbon's way, tho p!
ripened slowly, and, <a coitferni
with one of llie Bishops of the Clini c
he recommended both ladies to mal
the consummation a subject ol pray?.
They lifted up their hearts togetli
that it might bo revealed to Ne
what good "ifts he '.va.-: neglectin
but Nehi i arden ed his heart, and r
fused to extend his table cloth.
He was ns yet ignorant of the ne
helpmate intended for him, but (
tho suggestion of Mrs. Gibbons th
he was not. glorifying his manhoc
and his family, he said that a pa
was enough, and that he had no wii
to marry". Under the.se circumstance
a little ext renie diplomacy was ai
judged necessary, and Airs. Gibbon
to compel a' marriage, declared th:
her household work was too onerou
and finally affected to be grievous]
ill. Nehi Gibbons, unable to resi
this description of appeal, obeyed tl
desire of his wife, Mary Ann, but tl
woman he married-was not Susar
He was too blind to guess the.perse
intended, and he married an entire!
different woman.
Grave complications ensued upn
this-precipitate action of Nehi Gil
bons. The peace of his family Wi
disturbed, and none the less becaus
'after -the usual period, the secon
Mrs. Gibbons had a baby. Mar
Ann redoubling her efforts, met wit
no other success: 'than that Mr. Gil
bons took a third wife, and this tim
also it failed to be Susan. The thii
effort was more directly made, un
with less diplomacy, Mrs. Gibbo:
1 the first suggesting expressly that he
choice was her bosom friend ; an
the power of candor wa", never f
weil attested as on this occasion, fe
Mr. Gibbons answered:
" Had I thought Susan would hav
accepted me, my dear Mary Ann,
should have made her my wife befoi
I proposed to you !'*
Thus piety ann patience wei
crowned, friendship was rewarder

ly in life, in wedlock were not divider
VE^EAXCEOF AXIXDIAX GIRT,.
A singular case of jealousy whic
recently occurred in Western Tex a;
is given in the El Paso JB&rdd. J
seems that a man named Chandos,
native of Rochester, in England, ha
made love to a beautiful half breer
sixteen years old. Thc girl waa liai
Apachee and half' French.' In add)
lion to her great beauty she was in
telljgerit, vivacious and as active am
alert as an antelope. She was genii
and affectionate, and no one suspecte'
; her of possessing the teriible passioi
. which jealousy snbsequenfly arousei
! in her bosom.
Tho English lover unfortunate!;
became acquainted with a white gil
named Wilson ho was on a visi
from a South State to her friend
in Western ' ..<?. Miss Wilson wa
beautiful an.i ?eeomplished, and he
.. civilized graces proved moro than
? '< match for the barbarous attraction
of. the Apachee girl. The result wa
? that Chuudos deserted the ha!f-breer
and became engaged to Miss Wilson
- The wedding day was set. On hear
* ing of the faithlessness of her lover
the hitherto undeveloped instincts o
her Apachee blood were roused t<
all their savage fury in the untutored
breast of the belle of the forest.
Arming herself with a revolver, she
went to the residence of her lover,
crept softly to his room and shot him
through the heart as he was writing
a. note to his betrothed. She was ar
rested a few hours afterwards and
confined for the night in an old lo?
cabin, in default of a prison. But
her friends rescued her, and she (led
to the wilderness, there to take np
her abode with her mother's wild kin
dred.
A New Lucretia Borgia. .
Brief mention was made in a tele
gram in Saturday's Notus of the ar
rest at New Brunswick, New Jersey,
of Mrs. Lydia Sherman, by officers
from Connecticut, who charge her
with having poisoned at different
times three husbands and two step
children, the offspring of her last
husband by a former marriage. Tho
New York papers of Saturday state
that this woman married a Jerseyman
?early ten years ago. and, after living
with him three years; he died sud
denly, and under circumstances which
occasioned considerable comment. The
second-husband was married in Con
necticut, and died under equally sus
picious circumstances, but, aS'nothin'g
was there known of the former mys
terious death, no action .was taken
Early in 1870, at Bereft Connecticut,
the woman married Nelson H. Sher
man, a widower, with two children,'
one six, and the other fifteen.years
old. Within nine months, these three
died, all under the sam? unaccounta
ble circumstances. After .the death
of the oldest child, which occurred
last, Mrs'. Sherman went to New
Brunswick' to visit, and went also to
Philadelphia. Immediately after she
bad-left, succeeding the death of the
child, the friends of Mr. Sherman
took steps t? investigate the matter,
and to that end had the body of Mr.
Sherman and those of the' fvo chil
dren exhumed.? The officers who
came on to make-the arrest state that
undeniable evidence of poison was
found upon all three of the bodies,
and that it was plainly seen in the
stomach - of the last burred of the
three. Th?y also state that they
have boen able to fix upon the alleged
murderer" the purchase of poison
similar to that of which traces were
found. The poison was vegetable
and of an' inusual character, thc
officers being unable to give its name
They were armed with warrants and
A requisition from Governor Jewell.
The statements of the officers leave
no doubt that the woman is guilty ol'
one of the most, startling and sensa
tional series of crimes that has ever
been committed. On being charged
with the crime she ga*e no appear
ance of guile, and beyond the timide
surprise and the assertion of her in
nocence; did not seem to be at all
affected.
( '.\ LIFOKXIA CHERRIES.-Uncle
Neri is a character, a genius, a philos
opher. With ;i!I his professional an
tipathy lo everything certain, ho is
occasionally surprised into an ac
knowledgment ?>!' the merits of some
thing brought to his notice, lt may
be nothing more than 'he cul of a
garment, the speed (<i horse, the
architectural beauty of a building, or
thc quality or size of some specimen
of vegetable production ; but he im
mediately qualifies his remarks with,
" Oh, it does very well for these re
gions ; it wouldn't be much in Cali
fornia though."
.We had some very large, fine cher
ries on the table one day last sum
mer. Alter surveying them for a
moment, Uncle Nod remarked that
they beat anything he ever saw, and
then there was a snort pause ; " that
is to say around here."
" Uncle Ned," said I, " you never
saw a cherry in California larger than
those."
" Weil, perhaps I didn't."
" Why," said I, " how large are
they in California, and how do they
sell them? '
" Well," he replied, with all the
gravity of a judge, " that depends
something,, of course, upon the season
of the year. They vary in size as
well as in price. They sell them by
the pound, and if you only want a
few pounds they generally charge
about 25 cents a pound; but if you
want a whole cherry, they'll let you
have it for 15 cents a pound."
DRIED UP THE WRONG MAN.-The
following is related of one of the
brethren of a certain church as hav
ing occured a year or two sidle, but
for obvious reasons not let mit of the
select circle where it has always been
a sou' ce ol fun. A gentleman who is
much gifted in prayer, and likes to
talk of Sunday School, and whom
wc v.ill call B., for short, attended an
evening prayer. VV'lijle the bell was
ringing to hasten up laggards, B.
'improved the opportunity' by send
ing an eloquent appeal to the throne
of grace. Thinking Ihe bell had
been rung enough, another member
said very imperiously to one of those
small boys who arc always around, in
and ont of season, " Go and tell thc
fellow to stop." A small boy never
did understand anything as h J was
told to do it, and this small boy was
not likely to stultify himself in that
manner. Instead of going to the sex
ton and silencing 1 that dreadful bell.'
he threaded his way down the aisle,
where B, was warming to his work
and in a loud hissing voice, saul,
" l?eie, jiow, Mr.-says for you to
dry up that j" Poor B. blushed a
brilliant scarlet, cul off an earnest
invocation in the middle of a sen
tence,'and all the balance of the eve
ning sulked in sullen silence. At the
close of the meeting he demanded of
the offending member an explanation,
which was satisfactorily given, and
the 1 unpleasantness' amicably set
tled.

fruit. There ae 'many recipes foi
these, but the or?sI give will Le found
all of them mocsmte in cost, easy of
pr?par?ti?n, ?d adequate to the
wnnts of any stall family.
HoT-roT.-Bil with six quarts ol
vinegar one potnd 3f salt, one-fourth
of a pound ofcloves, the same of
ginger, one o.nce each of mace,
cayenne peppe, white pepper and
long pepper; tro ounces of mustard
seed, and half i pound of echalots.
To this mixture in your jar add any
kind of fruit oi vegetable that may
suit your fancy from cauliflower to
radish pods. Tie proportion of in
gredients here 3 excellent, and im
parts a very fie flavor to the pickle.
YELLOW PIGLE.-Take one pound
grated horse- rdish ; two pounds of
white mustarcseed ; one pound of
blade niustardseed ; two ounces each
of mace, nutxege, cloves, allspice,
nr.d ground write pepper ; four oz.
of turmeric ; a large teacupful of
ground musta il ; four tablespoonfuls
of celery-seed eight cloves of gar
lic ; .half a pond of ground ginger,
and four ponds of brown sugar.
- The ingredints are to be put into
a six-gailon jr, with four gallons of
vinegar. An kind of green vege
tables may bradded, after they have
been first scaled, then dried in the
sun for one oitwo (lavs. This mix
ture cannot !? surpassed, A ?'
it is very cousaient in one's pantry,
?is during th whoi? vegetable and
fruit season, ftnething imiy be con
tributed to it contents until they are
as various ashe contents of a " grab
j bag" at a fai
CiiOW-cno'.-Cut fine pne large
head of cablee, one dozen hell pep
pers, and omdozeu of white .onions.
Put these, wh three roots of horse
radish, grate, into a kettle, cover
with strong tit-water, boil till the
cabbage is mder, and then drain
through a h r sieve. Boil in three
pints of vii gar, half an ounce ol
turmeric^ ai one-fourth pound of
white musial seed. Pour this- hot
over the venables. W hen cold,add
a teacupful f Balad oil, and the same
quantity ofiu^ard mixed i? for tho
table. Cauflower may be advanta
geously subituted for the cabbage in
this recipe.aking care to break up
the cnulflov-r instead of cutting it.
SWEET PELE.-There are many
rpciDes for aking a sweet pickle of
fruit, all ( wljich aro complicated
and tediou The following, which
: will answi equally for damsons,
I pluas, choies, apricots ami peaches,
j serves evoi purpose of a Sae flavor
ed, handsoe pickle, of good .keening
1 qualities, fd has the nd van tage of
giving bu little trouble : Prepare
your fruitfi for preserving, stoning
it, and tb veu pounds bf fruit take
1 three; andoneifiaH' pounds -of clean
brown sugar, onepintof vinegar, and,
one ounce each of cinnamon in sticks,/
f I sprig mace and cloves. Put the fruit j
into a, jar, boil, the vinegar and spicqs
together, and pour it over the fruit,
let it stand for two. days. Then pour '?
the vinegar off again, put it on to i
boil, and when hot pour in the fruit j
and boil all together until they are j
clear and transparent. This does '
just as well as the repeated scaldings
usually reccomraended.
PEACUES.-To pickle peaches the
simplest is the beat way; Take the
large Georgia peaches, wipe them
with a coarse cloth, fill a jar with
them, drop in a small handful bf black
pepper, cover all with venegar, cold,
and your pickle is made.
GRAPES.-Fill a jar with ripe
grapes; to.each gallon of ripe grapes
add one pound of white sugar. Cover,
with cold vinegar.
WALNUTS.-Take a peck of wal
nuts or butternuts, tender enough to
be easily punctured by a-pin ; put
them in a jar and pour over them a
very strong brine,. boiling hot. In a
fortnight they , will have begun to
brown considerably, when they should

The Bem'opolis- (Alabama) Expo
?.nuit-, telljythe following -almost in
credible story-about the growth of a
ifoti>Ti tree, protected from the#'frost,
which we republish for what it is
worth, but do not wish to be under
stood as vouching for the veracity of
the writer :
la 1307 a planter of this county,
living some 12viniles from this city,
conceived he' ?doa [hat the cotton
plant properly, cared for o/mld be
iuad? t" 'j?;ir for thore than one
year. lie la-iieved'that "the vitality
iif tho j>'ai]?was destroyed by frost
only. The' result of his experience,
which we will give in his own words,
is of unspeakable importance to the
material interests d' the cotton grow
ing country, placing us above and be
yond the necessities and annoyances
ot' our present system of labor.
His account of his success which
is far beyond his most sanguine .ex
pectations, is largely vouched for, and
is as follows :
" I lost a large amount of money
in 1806, tho year succeeding the sur
render, in my farming operations and
despaired, almost, of the future of
the cotton section, in the many sleep
less nights I passed thinking over my.
own affairs and what the future hs.d
in store for myself and neighbors,
whose dependence for existence rest
ed solely upon agricultural produc
tions, of which the culture of cotton
vas the chiefest, the main stay, in
fact, of the cotton States, the founda
tion upon which was Built all they
enjoyed of prosperity in manufactu
ring, in banking, in merchandizing,
in all that went to make up the sum
of their varied industries and inter
ests, threatened, as those interests
seemed to be, about to' suffer extinc
tion by a system of labor that made
?the cost of production of the cotton
crop greater than the value of the
article produced. By inspiration, for
it could have been nothing el-'e. ii,
'occurred to me that could the annual
"killing ot the plant by frost be pre
vented th? plant might become a Atc
-a fruitful, ever-bearing tree.
"Success has exceeded my most
sanguine expectations, my wildest
dreams. I will tell you.exactly how
I proceeded and describe the result.
In tho.spring of J.8?J I selected a
spot, of ground, about 40 feet square,
planted tn tire centre ai cotton seed,
tended it carefully ; ?ill September I
built abant it a pen'some eight feet,
square and coveredit'With glass1, kept
a trherrnotueter in it, and by the aid
of a small stove, kept life ami growth
in the plVtnt until 'May of lSb8, afc
a'tnvFiich time I removed the pen.
During'the summer of '68 my plant
grew till it became .a small tree. In
tile fall bf the year I picked 800 pounds,
of seed cotton from it and built
another pen on tlie same plan, tut
larger than the first ; followed the
same process through the winter and
again removed my pen in thc spring
of '69. That year I picked from
what was then a tree, cotton that
made a bale of 476 pounds. The
tr.ee. had now grown sp largs that {
deemed it safe from frost, and in the
winter of '69 and 70 I left it^npro
tected. In thespringof 70itbloom-'
ed at the same'time with the peach
tree,-and in the fall I made from it
1,283 pounds of lint cotton. At this
writing the tree is iii full bloom t\r\i\
promises at least three, bales pf cqttpri
aud is the wonder of ail'who see it.
"It is some twenty or twenty-!^
five feet in height, measures at|T
at the but nineteen inches in diame- ^
ter, shows no signs of decay,- and'. fl
wil} probably, live and'bear fruit for. j
years to . come. If this' statement u

John Quincy Adams.
Some short time since Mr. J.
Trezevant, editor of the Augus
[Arkansas) BulkUn, wrote a lett
to Hon. John Quincy Adams, of- M?
?achusetts, upon political matters, e
pressing, among other things, the a
prehension that, as he puts it, ? wi!
arant's yaet patronage, most unser
juloualy used, he would not yield tl
Presidential chair, even if. defeat?
Defore the people in 1872 ; and th;
mr ,Rcpublic,,'like its predecessors i
dd, is so., rapidly -drifting .into tl
.hannels of corruption, that the pe<
)le, in despair; may look to one mil
ary leader aa. the only .means of SPA
ng them from the utter ruin, threat
ined by another." This was " th
?eueral scope of the letter, to. whic
he following is a reply :

mt I fear I should have been an

should be silly if I yielded to the
?eling, for whence must my relief
ame if my last estate is not to be
ame worse than the first ? Is there

Cumulative Voting.
j A perplexed candidato for office in
Maine attempted once' to get out ol' a
dilemma by declaring that he was in
favor of the Maine Liquor Law, brit,
opposed to its- enforcement. Wo oc
cupy similar ground on the question
pf'cumulative voting. Wo are inj

suffrage? of the-people," but we are.
opposed to employing that-mode here !
and now. If. it were in use in Rich- j
mond, at least two members of tho j
House of Delegates would next fall j
be chosen by the negroes; and. we ,
are not anxious that they . should ]
choose even one. But the worst re-!
suit of the system in the South would
bc that it would render the negroes
perfectly independent of th?- whites j
even of their own party, and enable j
them to elect persons of their own !
race, to every office or position of trust j*
in proportion to their numbers. They
could in Richmond choose at. least!
thirteen out of the thirty members of ? ?
the City Council,' and .thi* without L:

white Radical, 'jyt cresent the ne

associates, since they are io a minori

rheir minority into a majority. But'
adopt the system of cumulative-vo

developed into a painful tumor, the

on some poisonous substance. An
abscess was formed, and he was at

alt the symptom? of blood poisoning,

difficulty'be subjected' to the proper
treatment for the cure of'/ii ?3 disease,

was found by a night watchman sit

testimony of a farmer who has known
how hurd to struggle for a footing on
?i free soil without capital is, and how
valuable and comparatively" cheap
are the aids which good reading brings
to hiui. In this age of general in
telligence, the mind must be catered
to and books and papers furnished ;

most independent of any, and there
?is no re.ason why it should not be as
