MILDLY JUDGE YE OF EACH OTHER.
Mildly judge ye of each other,
Be to condemnation alow;
The very best ones have their fldttngs.
Something good the worst can show. i
The brilliant sun hath spots of darkness
On his radiant front, tney say;
And the clock that never goeth, 1
Speaks correctly twice a day. t
Do not mock your neighbors' weakness, 1
When ills random w hims vou see; (
For, perhaps, he something like it,
Every day beholds in thee. <
Folly 1 my ens all our natures; 5
Soundest metal hath its flaws;
And the rigid stoic scorner (
Is no wiser for his saws. i
Every mortal hath his hobby; (
It may foolish seem to you, >
But remember^ bright or simple,
You have got your hobby, too. 4
Let a fellow-feeling warn you, <
When you criticise a friend; *
Honor virtue in his actions, ;
In yourself his vices mend. I
Think not those whom mortals honor,
Are the best the earth affords ; t
For no tongue of praise doth blazon t
Forth the deeds which God rewards.
There are fish behind in ocean, J
Good as ever from it came, c
And there are men, unknown, as noble
As the laurel'd heirs of fame.
Mildly judge, then, of each other, <
Be to condemnation slow, k
For the wisest have their failings, r

EXCITEMENT IN A HOUSEHOLD. f
v f
Mrs. S., "who resides in Third Avenue, J
New York, above Thirty-ninth street, went ;
out a few evenings since to the grocery to
buy some coffee, and when she returned she
found a basket hung to the knob of the _
door. Putting her hand in to see what it
contained, she felt something animate. A e
little surprised at so extraordinary a dis- P
covery, she immediately returned into the 0
hallway to examine by the light of the ?
lamp, the mysterious contents. Pinned to .
the clothes enwrapping the little thiDg, she 11
found a billet addressed to her husband, s
which she instantly read, as follows:
Mr Dear S.?I send you little Tommy, and
hope you will bring him up well. It is the pet of
its father. Ah, what an old playboy you are, ma- u
king me believe all the time you were a widower: d
? ?p.?j-j -u ^?_ ?.. _^n i
DOW, you couiomiueu uiu atuucr, )uu win uatc g
something to amuse you. 0
Your broken hearted NANCY.
P. S.?Don't let that Ion? nosed vixen of a wife 8
of yours see this. She would be sure to give you v
rats, yet you cannot blame me. h
Your inconsolable N. ^
Filled with rage upon reading the fore- d
going news, Mrs. S. at once ascended to p
tne parlor. ' s
[Scene in the Parlor.?Mr. S. lounging g(
on the sofa puffing a cigar, and looking per- b
fectly complacent. Enter Mrs. S., her face
as red as a pulpit cushion and her eye-balls t<
glaring with madness.] t]
Mrs. S. (loquiter)?Yes, there you are, n
you hypocrite! you viflian! you deceitful, 8j
lying, mean, despicable, abominable? a
Mr. S. (starting up amazed and fright- h
ened at such vituperative expletives hurled d
at him from his amiable spouse)?Hold, Jen- ft
ny, hold; what's all this about?eh ? Gra- p
cious me?eh ? S
Mrs. S. (with a curl of supreme disdain g
on her ruby lips)?Oh, faithless flunkey of s
a husband! On! that I should come to
this! Never look me in the face again,
base wretch. See, I have found you out at
last. (Mrs. S. places the basket deliberate- p
ly on the carpet under her spouse's nose.) p
Now, look at that from your inconsolable
Nancy; look at it! it won't bite you ? Well, ],
I declare, he doesn't seem to mind it a bit. ti
I will call in all the neighbors. y
(Exit Mrs. S. Mr. S. reconnoiters the p
basket and touches the lively contents with p
the delicate tips of his fingers; is afraid to I
open it. Enter Mrs. S., a dozen neighbors a
looking grave.) I
Mrs. S.?Now, ladies and gentlemen, I fl
will show you something that will make each t
individual hair on your head stand bolt upright
like a telegraph pole. t
tiMrs. S. proceeas to unao tne Bwaaanng $
clothing in which the present from Nancy g
is enveloped.) "It has the devil in it al- e
ready," she remarks, as the little thing s
kicks. And now all eyes are riveted to see fl
if it really looks like its father, and as Mrs. f
takes off the last cover out pops a large- \
sized Tom-cat,. and scampers down the y
stairs. \

"Come Down."?We were amused the a
other day, by an anecdote of a certain Sec- }
retary of a Governor, several removes back- T
ward from the present chief magistrate of (
the Empire State. Like most sub-officials c
to whom some "pressing" final process is t
committed, he had an itching palm, while, p
at the same time, it would not be exactly v
safe to show his hand too openly. On one e
occasion he had, for the third time, been v
waited upon by an impatient party interest- c
ed in two important bills, which had passed
the legislature, and, with sundry others,
were awaiting the Governor's signature.
"Did you place my bills before his excel- t
lency ?" asked the party of the Secretary, d
"N-n-not yet," said he, (he had a slight c
impediment in his speech j) "n-not quite c
yet; the G-Governor's very busy. By the a
b-by, w-what was the n-name of the m-man i
that g-got up into a t-tree when our Savior 1
was w-walking along that w-way ?" j
"Oh, you mean Zaccheus." 1
"Y-yes, that's the man. We-ell, do you t
r-recollect w-what was said to him ?" i
"Certainly: "Zaccheus, come down !" i
"Ex-aractly; y-yes, 4come down !' I was f
thinking of that ye-yesterday, when you ?
cauea, dui i couldn t re-re-member the i

The hint was taken; the party "came i
down" accordingly, and when he next call- 1
ed his signed bills were ready for him. j

THE ASHLEY PHOSPHATES.
Since the time when (more than a year
igo) the discovery of these extraordinary
leposits was announced to the public, we
ia?e felt a strong curiosity to hear more
ibout them. If what was reported be true,
;hen, agigantic mine of wealth has been
>pened to the Carolinians in the very hour
>f their necessity; and then, too, a fertiliser
of extraordinary value is suddenly disposed
to the planters of the South, which,
it reasonable cost, may increase the proluctive
capacity of our lands to a point that
?ill partially counterbalance the increased
cost and difficulty attending the process of
cultivation. Both these considerations are
oo important to fail of awakening a pro'ound
interest among intelligent readers.
Our friend and neighbor, Mr. S. I. Gusin,
having within a few hours returned
rom a personal observation of these de>osits,
the facts below are gleaned from a
conversation with him.
The denosits in Question are in the tide
vater bottoms of the Ashley, Cooper and
Stono Rivers, and we should not be surmised
if they underlie a lar^e portion of
he coast and sea island regions of South
Carolina. It is known certainly that they
bound in several square miles of territory,
,nd new evidence of their existence and exent
are daily developed.
In the regions explored, they frequently
rop out of the surface and are commonly
ound in strata from one to two or more
eet in thickness, dipping from the surface
0 eight or more feet below it?generally
he deposit is from one to two feet. Below
his deposit is a solid bed of marl.
Now what are these phosphatic deposits ?
?hey are simply a collection and conglomrate
of bones in various conditions?some
erfect in shape as when they fulfilled their
riginal functions in the living animal, and
thers solidified in stony masses, softer,
owever, than gypsum, and still retaining
1 the mass (like what is called pudding
tone) more or less the forms and outlines
f the innumerable bone contributions of
rhich they are composed.
These bones are of all sorts?known and
nknown?land and marine. They not only
isclose all the osseous formations of the
ea monsters of the present day, but those
lso of the saurians, and ail the other mon
ters of an antediluvian or preadamitic age,
rhich modern science and research have
rought to light. And, curiously enough,
uman bones have been found in the vast
eposit, as well as implements of stone and
ottery similar to those in use among the
o-called oboriginese. We have examined
ome Interesting specimens of the animal
ones alluded to.
Having spoken of the extent and characer
of these great deposits, we come now to
heir value as a fertilizer, and here, fortuately,
we can speak from an actual analyi8
by the State Geologist of Massachusetts,
very scientific man. He found, in one
undred parts of this bone-phosphate, reuced
to powder:
loisture and organic matter 80
one-phosphate of lime 81.60
ulphate of lime 65
alts 15
and, &c., insoluble in acids 16.80
100.00 1
Thus it will be seen that in one hundred
arts, according to this analysis, all but
8.40 are the best fertilizing substance
nown for the permanent improvement of
ind, and the whole has a smaller proporion
of useless matter than any fertilizer
et produced. The proportion of phoshate
in fresh bones is but little over fifty
>er cent., while this is set down at 81.60.
L sample of the bone flour from which this
nalysis was made, was shown to the writer,
t is of a salmon color, as fine as wheat
[our, and we wish all our planters had 500
ons of it apiece.
Here, then, is an almost unlimited quanity
of this pure bone-phosphate?immense
ieposits of it within a stone's throw of navi;ation?to
be excavated with far greater
ase than any mineral coal in the country?
o softened by time as to be reduced to
lour with half the trouble and expense of
resh bones?a great deal better, as shown
>y analysis?surrounded by cheap fuel,
nth unlimited resources of the same on the
rater courses?were there ever such extrairdinary
conditions for the production of
,n invaluable fertilizer at a low price?
fVas there ever a discovery made fraught
nth greater promise? It will build up
Charleston, and it will prove of almost incalculable
benefit to the whole South?paricularly
to the Atlantic States. In im roving
the results of our agriculture, it
nil impart new elasticity and vigor to
very interest and occupation?so that all
rill be the richer for this grand and exeedingly
curious discovery.
THE BUD WORM.
Our friend, Dr. Buie, has been investigaing
the natural history and habits of this
lestructive little insect, with complete sucess.
In April last he found a stalk of
orn with the heavt cut out by a bud worm,
.nd the insect itself was buried about two
nches in the ground beside the stalk. The
)r. took the worm and placed it in a glass
ar, one-fourth filled with moist earth.?
iToung stalks of corn, cabbage leaves and
urnip tops were placed in this jar. The
vorm ate of each. After every eating, the
vorm changed his appearance. It changed
irst to the "cut worm/' which has been
generally regarded as a different insect. Its
lext form was that of the "collard worm,"
ts color from black turning to green, and
ts head disappearing. After eating, the
)ug would return and remain in the earth,
ifter this last change he went into the
mart of the stalk of corn, until it was en;irely
destroyed, when becoming very unvieldy,
it wollered, rather than burrowed,
n the ground.
It remained in this state for five days,
"? i . i 1 .1 -*1
ma on tne sixtn it Had entirely sneu 11s
covering, and was a fully developed moth,
laving four wings, the outer ones dark and
;he under ones light. Its appearance to
is, as we saw it yesterday, is the same as
he ordinary "candle moth," and is, beyond
loubt, the same species of insect.? Wil

A ROMANTIC AFFAIR.
A somewhat novel and romantic affaii
was developed here yesterday. A youtl
who had been tarrying at one of our most
fashionable boarding houses, for several
days past, was discovered by the merest accident
to be a female. She sobbed bitterly
when her sex was discovered, and fully unbosomed
herself to her landlady. Indianapolis,
Ind., is her home, where a father,
mother, two brothers, and a younger Bister,
have for several days past mourned her as
lost. The story is one of love, and may be
briefly related. She was devoted to a young
man who had promised her marriage at au
early day; but, as all lovers will sometimes
do, they quarrelled, and in a moment oi
?* l.ii. /
passion ine young man leu iur puna unknown.
Here he had numerous friends,
and after wandering from place to place,
betook himself to Richmond. He had no
difficulty in obtaining business, but found
there was an aching void within his bosom
which none here could fill. Deeply lamenting
that he had so suddenly left the one
to him more dear than all others, he at
once wrote to her, asking forgiveness and
requesting that she would come to him.?
She dare not ask the permission of her parents,
but she at once resolved that she would
fly to him whom she had solemnly pledged
the purest affections of her young and guileless
heart. Knowing the dangers and difficulties
which a young girl would be likely
to encounter at every step of so long a
journey, she conceived the idea of assuming
man's appar el, and lost no time in
procuring a jacket, cap, bifurcated garment.
Thus attired, she left the home of her childhood,
and reached Richmond without trouble.
Her case has enlisted the warmest
sympathies of all the boarders at the house
whci e she is stopping, (for she is not only
young, but is beautiful,) and arrangements
for a wedding are now rapidly progressing.
Many of them think that such devotion
ought to be rewarded, and the nuptials are
to be brilliantly celebrated. It is but an
additional evidence to the thousand and one
we have already had of woman's unconquerable
love, which surmounts all obstacles
and braves any danger that may present
themselves.?Petersburg Express.
HOW TO*GROW RICH.
If we could answer this question, to the
practical satisfaction of the public, we have
no doubt we should get a premium. How
to make money, so as to acquire riches
speedily, is the all-absorbing question of
this age. Too many, we fear, hare tried
it by following the advice of the father,
who said to his son : "My son, the world
owes you a living; if you can get it honestly,
do so ; but if you cannot, why get it."
The failure of many to grow rich has now
been reduced to a mere struggle for bread.
This may seem to be a hard fate, yet it
must be endured until it is cured. How
shall it be done ? Work, hard work, is the
thing. Let it be the rule to be at it early
and keep at it. Be sober, be honest, but
keep out of debt?to the printer, especially,
and to all others. Spend, less than you
make and never go in debt. That is the
secret of getting rich in one line. If you
can make one cent over your expenditures
the first day, and double it the next, and
go on doubling for every day, except Sunday,
for ten years, you will be a rich man.
Make the calculation. Try it even for one
year. Nay, suppose you save one cent the
first day, and double it the next, and so on
doubling and saving for only twenty-six
working days, and you will be worth $671,088.64,
at the end of the month !?Raleigh
Sentinel.
"NOISY CHILDREN."
Well, how do you like your stupid, quiet
blockheads, that never make a noise only
when some one pushes them out of the
way ? "I cannot bear the noise of children."
Then go and shut yourself up in
? i : c
some quiet nooic, wnere me LuuBiu ui viuiuhood
i9 never heard. Shut yourself away
from the world, and thus stifle the little
music stirring in your heart. If you wish
to crush the life and spirit from the souls
of children, stop their noise, instruct them
to play carefully, avoiding all outbursts of
joy. We like the noise of children. Not
that rude, wicked, wild noise, that is heard
in the retreats of the profane and uncultivated,
but natural outbursts of childhood's
innocence and mirth. As well may you
command the spring brooklet, swell ;d by
recent showers, to run over its rocky bed
without making any noise, as to expect
children, full of the springs of human life,
to play and make no noise. Do not banish
your children out of hearing that you may
not be troubled with their noise. Let them
feel that you love to see them happy and
cheerful, and then they will not seek to
avoid your presence to find enjoyment.
Circumlocution.?An English paper
tells of circumlocution in the British War
Office. It says there is a tradition, said to
be historical, concerning a clerk in the War
Office, who wanted a peg whereupon to hang
his hat. To save the expense of a carpenter,
he applied for a hammer and nail, witli
which to drive it in himself. Six months
passed before he received any answer tc
his request, and he had long ago set up a
peg of his own, when a special messengei
of the Tower arrived in Pall Mall, with a
hammer, sent to him at last, through the

that it was not the province of the
Tower officials to supply nails, but thai
those would come to him from Woolwich,
and after a few months' further waiting,
they really did arrive?a pound of nails

KNOWN BY HIS WORKS.
f
In that beautiful part of Germany which
i borders on the Rhine, there is a noble esf
tate, as you travel on the western bank of
I the river, which you see lifting its ancient
towers on the opposite side, above the grove
' of trees about as old as itself.
About fifty years ago, there lived in that
castle a noble gentleman, whom we will call
i Baron N . He had only one son, who
i was not only a comfort to his father, but
1 a blessing to all who lived on his father's
1 land.
I It happened on a certain occasion that
1 this young man being away from home,
> there came a French gentleman to the castle,
who began to talk of his Heavenly
' Father in terms that chilled the old man's
blood ;,on which the Baron reproved him,
saying, "Are you not afraid of offending
God, who reigns above, by speaking in such
a manner ?" The gentleman said he knew
nothing about God, for he had never seen
him.
" ? 1*1 i - A! l.iil
Jtie cms time cua noc nonce wxiai me gentleman
said; but the next morning he took
him about his castle grounds, and took occasion
first to show him a very beautiful
picture that hung on the wall. The gentlemen
admired the picture very much, and
said, "Whoever drew this picture knows
very well how to use the pencil."
"My son drew that picture," said the
Baron.
"Then your son is a clever man," replied
the gentleman. The Baron then went with
his vistor into the garden, atd showed him
many beautiful flowers and plantations of
forest trees.
"Who has the ordering of this garden ?"
asked the gentleman.
"My son," replied the Baron; "he knows
every plant, I may say, from the cedar of
Lebanon to the hyssop on the wall."
"Indeed," said the gentleman, "I shall
think very highly of him soon'."
The Baron then took him into the village,
and showed him a small, neat cottage,
where his son had established a school, and
where he caused all young children who
had lost their parents, to be received and
instructed at his own expense. The children
in the house looked so innocent and
so happy, that the gentleman was very
much pleased* and wh^n he returned to the 1
castle, he said to the Baron, "What a hap- J
py man you are to have so good a son." '
"How do you know I have so good a son ?" }
"Because I have seen his works, and I
know he must be good and clever if he has j
done all that you have shown me."
"But you have not seen him."
"No; but I know him very well, because i
I judge of him by his works." j
"True," replied the Baron, "and in this c
way I judge of the character of our Hea- ]
venly Father. I know by his works that t
He is a being of infinite wisdom, and power, f
and goodness." ,

THE F.LAW HUNTERS. (
There are people who have a preternatu- j
ral faculty for detecting evil, or the appear- 1
anceof evil, in every man's character. They 1
have a fatal scent for carrion. Their mem- I
ory is like a museum I once saw at a raedi- 1
cal college, and illustrates all the hideous
distortions, and monstrous growths, and revolting
diseases, by which humanity can be
troubled and afflicted. They think they
have a wonderful knowledge of human nature.
But it is a blunder to mistake the
Newgate Calendar for a biographical dictionary.
A less offensive type of the same tendency
leads some people to find apparent satisfaction
in the discovery and proclamation
of the slighest defects in the habits of good
men and the conduct of public institutions.
They cannot talk about the benefits conferred
by a great hospital without lamenting
some insignificant blot in its laws, and some
trifling want of prudence in its management.
Speak to them about a man whose
good works everybody is admiring, and
they cool your ardor by regretting that he
is so rough in his manner, or so smooth?
that his temper is so hasty, or that he is so
fond of applause. They seem to hold a
' brief, requiring them to prove the impossibility
of human perfection. They detect
the slightest alloy in the pure gold of human
goodness. That there are spots in the
i sun is with them something more than an
observed fact?it takes rank with a priori
and necessary truths.
There are people who, if they hear an
, organ, find out at once which are the poorest
stops. If they listen to a great speaker
they remember nothing but some slip in
the construction of a sentence, the consistency
of a metaphor, or the evolution of an
, argument. While their friends are adinii
ring the wealth and beauty of a tree, whose
^.nnnlioo ftfp weighed down with fruit, thev
U1UUVUVU v? w .. ?Q ? f ^
have discovered a solitary bough, lost in the
' golden affluence, on which nothing is hang'
iDg1
Poor Hazlitt was sorely troubled with
them in his time. "Littleness," he said,
> "is their element, and they give a charac'
ter of meanness to whatever they touch.?
1 They creep, buzz, and fly-blow. It is much
1 easier to crush than to catch these trouble'
some insects; and when they are in your
1 power only your self-respect spares them."

( PARDON FOR NOTHING.
A few days since, when visiting an old
man who seemed anxious about salvation, I
i found great difficulty in making him undert
stand that pardon is the free gift of God,
, though the precious blood of Christ.
i At last I said to him, "Now, suppose I
) were to go to a shop and buy something for
t you, and pay for it, and tell you to go and
fetch it, need you take any money with
you?" "No," said the old man, brighten,
ing up, "it would be paid for." "Need you
[ make any promise to pay at some future
I time ?" I then asked. "No," he replied,
, "I should have it for nothing."
[ "So," I continued, "is it with forgiveness
of sins; the Lord Jesus has paid the full
' price for it. He has had the groans, the
r sighs, the tears, the wrath, the pain, the
punishment; yea, all that sin deserved! He
( bore it all! He paid the whole! Yes,
( bought forgiveness with his precious blood,
i and now he gives it as a gift to all who
. bring their sins to him."
[ "Yes," said the old man, as his eyes filled
L with tears, "I see it now?it is pardon for
, nothing! Christ has bought it, and he will
, give it to me!"
Dear reader, may you also learn that
. Christ alone can save; that neither your
tears, nor groans, nor prayers, nor works,
can give you any right to heaven. No, you
; must come with nothing in your hand, and,
as a helpless beggar, cast yourself upon his
love and grace, and look to him alone to
cleanse you from your sins, and make you
fit to dwell with him above.?Evangelist.
THE BIBLE*IN A YEAR.
A correspondent recently inquired how
the Bible could be read through every year.
To accomplish this, it is necessary to read
three chapters daily, and each Sabbath two
additional chapters, making five for that
day. Much the easiest way to do this, is
to read two chapters in the Old, and one in
the New Testament daily, and, on the Sabbath,
two Psalms for the additional chapters.
This will avoid five long chapters on the
Sabbath; which are apt to prove wearisome
and discouraging, especially to the young.
Three chapters daily, and two additional
on the Sabbath, will amount to 1,199 chapters
in the year. In the Old Testament are
929 chapters, in the New Testament 260
chapters, making 1,189 in all. By counting
each two cxix Psalm as a chapter, we
shall add just ten chapters, making 1,199 ;
the exact number needed for the year's reading.
THIS LITTLE HAND.
Brothers and sisters should always try
to live in love. Jfor if one of them should
be taken ill and die, they would be very
sorry, and blame themselves, if they had
not always been kind and loving to the one
who was gone. But if they had always
lived in love, it would be pleasant to think
of that.
I have heard of a brother and sister who
loved one another very much. He was the
older, and was taken ill and died. They
laid him out on his own little bed, and the
mother took his little sister to look at him.
I cannot tell you what she felt and thought
as she stood looking at his sweet face, as
white and cold as marble, but she wept very
much. At last she said, ''Mother, may I
take hold of his hand ?" Mother did not
like to let her?it was too cold. But, after
a little time, she placed it in hers, when the
dear child, lifting it up and stroking it gently,

~THE~WEEKLY SUNT
THE Circulation of the "WEEKLY SUN." always
very large, has of late so increased that
it may bo called universal. It is shedding its light
for all, in all sections?North, East. South and
West. Its intercourse with the South, which was
necessarily interrupted during the war, has been
again resumed, and the evidences of public appreciation
from that quarter are multiplying every
day. When honest efforts are put forth, as in the
"WEEKLY SUN," to meet the demand for a reliable
weekly record of events and an entertaining
vehicle of light literature, which, while it instructs
and pleases, aims to promote virtue as well as intelligence
and to exclude every line of an impure
and immoral tendency} it is cheering to receive
such evidences of public appreciation as are coming
to us from all parts of the country.

The "WEEKLY SUN" is published every Saturday
at the following exceedingly low rates to individuals
and clubs when sent from one Post Office.

PIEDMONT
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF VjjtftGINIA.
rpHE Subscriber respectfully informs the public
I generally that he has accepted the Agency of
the above Company, and is now prepared to issue
policies of LIFE INSURANCE. The solvency
of the Company is certified to by the Court Officers
of Nelson county, Virginia, and is commended
to those who desire to support a "Homo Institution.
J. A. McLEAN, i
At the store of J, <k E. B. Stowe. J
THE OBJECT \
Of this Company is to Insure live?not indeed
to prolong life?but by paying a certain sum to the
beneficiaries of a policy when you die?thereby to
continue the exertions, investments and benefits
of your life to your dependents, after your life is
terminated.
However well prepared a man may be in a spiritual
point of view to meet the "king of terrors,"
if he be possessed of a thoughtftil mind and a feeling
heart, he can but look with sad forebodings to
that finale of his earthly career which is to deprive
his fond wife and helpless children of that support
and fostering care which his arm has furnished.
He shudders as his mental gase looks within the
gloomy portals or tne grave ana leaves uenma
those whom he loved, as vagrants rdtuning the
friendless, thorny paths of public charity! Yet,
alas! bow many ao it!! when a small present outlay
would gild their troublous rood with ease and
comfort, if spent in a Life Insurance Policy. Reader,
are you not liable U> his sad death-bed reflection
of tne unseen trials you bequeath those you
leave behind, by neglecting this cheap protection
which we now urge upon you? If your mind
were easy on this subject; ifyou could feel when
you "shuffle off this mortal coil" your family
were provided for. you would be relieved of the
carking anxiety tuat fills every worthy mind at
such fears: you would be better prepared to purBue
your avocation with mental composure and
seal. We do not mean to assert that money can fill
the place of a fond fhther?yet we do assert, what
you know to be true?money will prove their beet
earthly friend when you are gone; and you can
leave them this certain friend now while you are
living.
Can you?will you reftiso It? \
Businessmen are considered rather improvident
who do not insure their goods and houses against
fire. Now, your house may never bo burned?it
may stand a hundred years; but your life cannot ^
last so long?your "lamp ofiife" must burn out
some day. You argue it is prudent to insure against
uncertain misfortune* to your property, and
yet neglect a certain event which will ana must
come to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and
prudence? We admit and assert the prudence of
the first, but assert the greater wisdom and necessity
for the last. Ask yourself the question, are
you doing right to neglect this opportunity to provide
effectually for your family hi case of your
death, while you have it In your power? And
bear in mind?now, this moment may be your last
chance?death is after yon 1 When once his "rugged
scythe shall clip the brittle thread of life," tne
ghastly panorama of wont and suffering will be opencd
to the sighing hearts you took care of while
Srou lived. Remember! only while in health?beore
age, with attendant diseases come upon you?
before yon begin to loiter in sad sickness on the
verge of the grave?only while living?mentally
and physically living?can you obtain a Life Insurance
Policy. Life is a vast battle-field?death is
always the final victor?and while we do not urge
this process will disarm him of his sting, (for religion
only can do that) yet it will soothe your heav- J
Fng bosom to know you have provided for your
family before that trying hour comes. By having
your life insured you "disarm the sting" ofpoverty
and want to them. We imagine now we hear i
the wail of suffering from some lone widow, while
she examines the merits of this businees, as her
shivering group stand around her scanty fire and
cry for bread: "Oh! that my husband had insured
his life! If he could have foreseen my lamentable
state he would have done so. He was kind M
and good to all, and supposed that all would be
kind and good to us; but alas, how mistaken! He
provided well for us while living; but if he had 1
insured his life, its benefits would have continued
to us now." Do not say this is a fancy sketch, for
many such a scene has really existed. 1

THE WEEKLY
MEMPHIS AVALANCHE,

a DESPERATE struggle will be made by the
J\ Radical party to select for the next President) 1
ufNovember, either GRANT or WADE, pledged
to the doctrine of negro equality in the North,
and of negro supremacy in all the Southern States.
To this party we are enemies, and will do all we
can to defeat and utterly overthrow it. We are the
political and personal foe of the party or the man
who advocates the doctrine of negro supremacy.
The carpet-bag adventurers who, by controlling j
the negroes, hope to get into office, and by usurpation,
by partial legislation, and by force will per- j
petuate their power, we will, as heretofore, de- ]
nounce as enemies of the white race, to be despised
and excluded from all political and social
intercourse. We are for a white man's government,
to be controlled by white men and none
others. j
The WEEKLY AVALANCHE wiU be sent to J
clubs of Ten fbr two dollars and fifty cents, each
copy, per year, and an extra copy to those who mM
send us a club often. To duos of twenty we 1
charge two dollars per year, and two extra copies
sent to the person who sets ud the club.

costs them two dollars and a half. Forty subscribers
onlypay two dollars. The WEEKLY AY- <
ALANCHE shall not be inferior in size, appearance,
and variety of news and editorial matter to
any Weekly in the country. Each number will
contain a complete history of the political events
of the proceeding week. The exciting events of
the day and the diabolism of the Radical tyrants
and imps of perdition will be carefully recorded.
We have special correspondents in all' directions,
and our facilities for making a first class newspaper
are unsurpassed. We ask our friends throughout
the South to give us such encouragement as
their circumstances will admit, and we will continue
to put forth our best efforts to stay the torrent
of political corruption, and to develop and
foster Southern resources and interests.
