Yon see yon brawny, bloats ring sot, Who swaggers, swears, and a' that, And think*" because bia strong right a Might fell an ox, and a' that, That he's as noble, man for man, . At duke and lord, and a' that ; He'* but a brute, beyond dispute, And not a man for a' that.

Sk? 8f?izeVmstok< Squire Dod ley was in his garde pulling weeds in his patch of tau strawberries, on the morning Wh< he took a fancy for Ruth Lee's pr?t face. . She came down the road, lool ing fresh as a new-blown rose, in hi plain calico dress and straw hat. H brown hair, cut quite short, blew a thout her face in little ringo, and ht blue eres and bright cheeks made h< fife pretty a picture as one often Bee S }uire Dudley sew her just as si ?-'imo opposite the strawberry-patd .md called out " Good morning !" i his brisk, cheery way. "0, good morning !" she answerei "You almost scared me, Squire Due ley. I didn't sec you until vouspoke, " Pleasant morning, isn t it?" sad the squire, coming up to the fenc< Hath had ba:ted in the road. e " It's beautiful weather," answere Ruth. " I -told mother it was tc pl1 isant to sray in doors, and starte o?i '. n a Visit!"

She was terribl; vexed when she found out what th h*ni?-had done." ? ! ?

"If you have more tha: you want-" " Plenty of them," answered th squire; "plenty of them. Can hav f.-.ru m? well aa not." " I m??t be going,", said Kuti " Good morn:.'ig." "Good morning,'' returned th squire, Icking after her as she wen down th? road. "I declare, then ain't a prettier girl in town- thai Ruth Lye". I wonder some of th? young fellows haven't got her awa] irc-m the widow. If I was' young new-" Squire Dudley stopped suddenly, An idea bad just flashed across hil brun. . " i'm fifty," he said at last, aftej thinking quite busily for some min uus. "Im fifty, but I don't look it l don't see why I shouldn't try my luck, after all. Girls as young a? Ruth marry men older ' than I am. I'm sore she'd make any man a good Wife. $er mother is one of the finest women in the State, and ehe h ftp brought her daughter up to know how to work, and be saving and pru dent. I'm sure wt need agood house keeper. Mrs. Brown, she's old and fussy and crooked, and this way of iv. tug isn't half living. I do be \r . e I'll marry her, if she'll have ae Maybe Charley'll say it's fool but 1 can't help that." \ Tn? squire fell to Weeding out his rirawberrie* again diligently, and kept thinking about Ruth ail the while. Long before dinner wasready he had fully made up his mind to propose marriage to Ruth, and bring home a new housekeeper and mistress to the great house whose mistres|had beau dead for ten years or more, i'rovided, of course, that Ruth didn't sa^r no, and the squire thought there wasn't much danger of that ; tlfough . ivhy he should be so sure, I can't say. . ." DO;J't you think we need a house . eper ?." bc r?aid to his son Charleo .hal afternoon, '.hey eaton the ve ra ...a The Squire evidently saw bo;.' new feature in the landscape, for be kept his face turned away from Caai ?ey s HS he spoke. " ? housekeeper?" asked Charley. " We've got one. What do we want ot mose, I should like to know ?" " Yes, I know,"' assented the squire, turning red in the face, and b?-gi; r;;:.fi to get a little uneasy; "but M s. Brown isn't such a woman as we .-.-.od. She doesn't take an inter est-in the work as-as a woman would who - who had more interest rn it." Ar-r which extremely logical ar gument the squire got more fidgettr th.m ever. "I understand that," answered ( harley. " If she had a personal in terest in the place, and in being pru '; and keeping things up, she'd d be.tfcej than she dots now. Now? the ge ? her pay? for the woik, and that's ali she cares for. It's all-we can expect of he?." - Juat so," ?a'd th?' sdtiire, glad to . kti"W that Charley agreed with ititi .4- ''Ive been tfcnking this mo.

The squire breathed easier. The worst part waa over with. ,:You get married I" exclaimed Charley, in intense surprise. .r u Why, I didn't know that you; war 'thought of wcVk"thing." exclaimed t^wt?jfev. "?Jfeot thinking about it this morning, the more I thought about it the n I thought it a good plan. You hav any objections?" w Of course not," answered Cl ley. " You can. do -ap you think I If yon deem it advisable to gs wife, I*have nothing to say inri than the hope that .you will get s< one who will make you happy." " ?he will/' ?aid the squire \ decidelly,^ " she w?V I am surf." "May I ask who *tis to baT .quired Charley. "I-I haven't asked her yet," awered the squire, as red as a r " I'd rather wait until I'm sure her before I tell you who it ia. might say no, you see, and I she feel rather cheap." Prudent Squire Dudley. That ternoon he picked a panful of finest strawberries, and directly ter tea started off across lois in j direction of the Widow Lee's, v the berries op bis arm. It was d before he got to the widow's, foi ?walked slowly. He had very b ''? thorfghts for company. ' He was vi ; dering what it ?vere best to do. Sho ?"he propose at onde to Ruth, or ?ho i he see her mother first, ?nd talk v ?her? He concluded that the i was the wisest plan, 'As be -ope: the gate noiselessly, he heard TOJ in the other corner pf the gard and stopped a moment to find .if ?it was the 'Vidow and her dan ter. . . - .

The squire burst into a profi perspiration at the idea of . navi Miss Sharp for a wife.

'?353 99 ?385 00 The greatly advantageous, feature of the Brooklyn in endorsing the Sur render Values upon its Policies, in Dollars and Cents, for ten consecutive years, hm met with unqualified praise from the most celebrated American Actuariefi, as alco from the Press, East, North and South. The Hon. Elizur Wright, who is admitted to be the greatest Insurance Mathematician and Actuary in America, congratulating The Brooklyn upon this new and distinctive feature; says, among other things, . " I am particularly pleased byt Jypar departure in the? right direction from the ordifnary method of computing thc.-Surrender Values." "One of the great est drawbacks to the j$puiar4ty *otf Life Insurance, has been the disap pointment and dissatisfaction of retiring Policy holders, at the smallness of the surrender value paid," &c. "All this would have been prevented by a distinct statement on the Policy, 'in advance, of the mm to be paid." This* .statement, it will be seen, The Brooklyn makes in dollars and cents, so that there can be no mistake. . Read iVijat Southern Papers Say of This Feature : The' Sentinel, (Raleigh, Ngrih Carolina,) Jan. 27, 1869.-" This great feature of cash surrende)' values is an improvement that signalizes the era in Life Insurance." Sun, (Columbus, Qcorjgia.)-"There is no better Company in the land ; a comparison with other corporations of a si rn. Uar charafiter, will convince all of the superior safety in taking risks with The Brooklyn Life." Dispatch, (St. louis, JTo.,) Jan. 7, 1S69.-" A Policy in The Brooklyn Life is thus worth so mmm in ready money. This is the only Life Com pany in the country that has carried this excellent feature (of endorsing the cash surrender values ?n dollars and cents,) into*its business.". "Pol icy holders being doubly assured, the system cannot fail to beoome very popular." It Viii be seen that we assert nothing in the above advertisement, but make a sim?le statement of tho sujSeiior advantages of The Brooklyn, as it appears from disinterested parfitt. The Hon. M. L.
