Home and Friends.
O there's a power to make each hour
As swec as Heaven designed it ;
Nor need we roam to bring it home, -
Though few there be that find it. ,
We seek too high for things close by,
And loose what Xature found ua ;
For life hath here no charms so dear
As home and friends around us.
We oft destroy the present joy
For future hopes and praise them,
While flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
If we'd but stoop to raise them;
For things afar still sweeter are,
When youth's bright spell hath bound us;
But soon we're taught the earth hath naught
Like home and friends around us.
The friends that speed in time of need,
When hope's last reed is shaken.
Do show us still, that, come what will,
We are not quite forsaken.
Though all were night, if but the light
. From friendship's altar crowned U3,
'Twould prove the bliss of earth was this
Our home and friends around us.
Justice to Women.
A bill has passed on to a second reading in
the British Parliament, the object of which is to
take away from husbands the unbounded control
over the property of their wives, which they
have possessed from the times of hoary antiquity,
and which is worthy of those "good old times"
of injustice and oppression.
The old fogies object to any disturbance of
this denial of jusJice, so promotive of domestic
oppression; but it must go the wny of all other
fetters on human rights. We hope to see the
day when it will be wiped out in every State of
the Union. When England is awaking to this
absurd injustice and wickedness of past ages, it
is time that we should bestir ourselves wherever
it is in force and destroy all traces of such a
degradation of one-half of our race we sav half,
for if every woman is not married, she is going
to be, or it will not be her fault.
It is objected that it will make ''the sex" too
high-minded, and that they will get entirely
above themselves. This argument is absurd;
for it is notorious that they already wear the
breeches in every well-regulated family, and it is
useless to deny the fact.
Suppose, however, that they have all this
power, which no gentleman should deny, would
any further damage be caused were it increased?
If they rule their husbands now, they can't do
any more than that anyhow; and so they may a3
well have as full control over all their property
as they now have over that particular chattel,
the husband.
Seriously speaking, however, we think that
some provision should be made to secure wives
and families from the trouble and want too often
now the result of unfortunate marriages. How
many widows would a proper enactment in regard
to the property of women save from destitution,
now caused by the power given by law to spend
thrift and drunken husbands.

David N. Liles against James Kelly and wife Kexiah
Kelly. -
It appearing in this case, to the satisfaction of the
Court, that the defendant, James Kelly and wife
Keiiah, reside beyond the limits of this State so that
process cannot be personally served upon them, it
is therefore ordered by the Court, that publication
be made, for six weeks successively, in the Western
Democrat, commanding them to be and appear at the
next term of this Court to be held for the county of
Union, at the Court House in Monroe, on the 6th
Monday after the last Monday in August, 1868, then
and there to answer, plead or demur, or judgment
pro confesso will be entered against them.

Ignorance of Women.
Dr. C. S. Lozicr, of New York, a female phy
sician, thus refers to a prevalent cause of disease
anion'' women :
4iI see no effectual remedy for the evil bat free
discussion on the subject among women. There
13 among them a deplorable ignorance of every
law of their being. A young lady, last week,
fainted on the floor of her dancing school. A
patient of mine being present, assisted to loosen
her clothing, and tells me she found next her
body, around her waist, a steel belt or girdle
made to compress her form. Another lady told
me, a few days since, that her family doctor ad
vised her to dress her young daughter a3 tightly
as she could possibly draw her corset, to cure a
palpitatiou of the heart. The foolish mother be
lieved and obeyed, and shortly buried her daugh
ter. I know of many facts of a similar nature
coming to me in my daily practice, which pro
fessional etiquette forbids me to publish. I am
convinced that three-fourths of cur christian
women are suicides, and physically more to be
pitied than the small-footed Chinese or the fiat
headed Indians."
Corporations have Souls.
The subject of Lite Assurance is attracting the at
tention of almost every man. Capitalists are avail
ing themselves of the opportunities it affords for
profitable investment, and poor men are seeking it as
a refuge for their dependent families. While all life
assurance societies are financially sound and firm, as
the record of each will show, how important that a
spirit of high-toned liberality and integrity should
characterize the decisions c' those who, as officers
and directors, control the payment ol losses!
The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United
States shares largely in the public confidence, the
names of those honored Philadelphians, George II.
Stuart, Thomas A. Biddle, and Theodore Cuyler,
acting directors therefor, being sufficient guarantee
to all. The following instance, however, illustrates
clearly the generous and noble sentiments that do
and will guide its officials in the settlement of claims
which arise from the death of its members: John
Thompson, deceased, has resided in this city many
years, doing business at Spruce street wharf, and
for years has been insured in "The Equitable1' for
the sum of ten thousand dollars. All his premiums
were promptly paid, except the last, which fell due
on Monday, October 15, 18GG.
On Tuesday. October 1C, the agent of the Society
called at the office of Air T., and learned that he was
dangerously ill. Returning, he found the son of Mr
Thompson with a check drawn by Mr T. himself on
Saturday, October 13, for the amount of premium.
Under these circumstances, the agent could not re
ceive the premium, and thus revive the forfeited
policy, without the consent of the Society, to whom
the facts were at once presented, (October 18): and
alter the Society had been informed of the death of
Mr Thompson, J. W Alexander, Esq , replied as fol
lows: "We think it best, under the circumstances,
to receive the premium on Thompson's policy, and
will not make the failure to pay on the day the pre
mium was due a reason for declining to pay the loss
We arc certainly not legally bound to receive it, but as
the parties appear to have acted in good faith, we
prefer to incvr the loss rather than take advantage of
their neglect. Please receive the premium avd issue the
receipt.
Is there one individual of the large number insured
by "The Equitable11 who will not npprove and ap
plaud this generous action? Certainly, after such
praiseworthy conduct, we cannot endorse the old
saying: "Corporations have no souls."
Highly commendable as the above instance of liber
ality on the part of The Equitable Life Assurance
Society certainly is, yet it forms by no means an ex
ception to the general system of dealing with their
policy-holders. This justly-popular Society ahvays
pays its losses with the most honorable promptness, never
having contested a claim, thereby leaving no uncer
tainty whatever concerning its ability and willing
ness to settle all claims of a similar character.

daughter, aged nve years, has been ureadlully amic

many Physicians, but without relieving her much;
in fact, most ot them said there was no hope of cure
During the last Spring she was worse than ever, her
body and limbs being covered with sores and blotches
with face and eyes badly ulcerated and swollen.
Whilst in this condition, I was advised by Dr. L. A.

three bottles, and commenced giving it to her. The
effect was magical.. In less than a month to my great
