I.aroe Bank Dividends.— The Marine
frnd Fire Insurance Bank of Savannah
I a> declared a semi-annual dividend of nine
per cent, upon its capital stock, payable
or demand.
‘This is not only interesting to tha stock
holders, hut it reflects the h'ghost credit
upon the skill, judgment and fidelity of its
President and Directors, in the discharge
of their duties, and at tho same time, it
allows the solvent and flourishing condi
tion of the institution.
The Bank of Savannah and the Cen
tral Railroad Banking Company have al
so declared a dividend of four per -cent,
each, from profits of the last six months.

TVs well to woo, ‘lis good to wed,
For so the world has done,
Since myrtles’grew and roses blew,’
And morn ng 1 brought llie sun.
But have n care, vo young and fair—
Bs sure ye pledge with truth,
Bo certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days ol youth.
- For if ye give not heart For heart.
As wc.l as lißoci for hand,’
You’ll find you’ve play’d the unwise part,
And buill upon tne sand.
‘T's well to suve.’tis well to have,
A goodly store of gold,
And hold enough of shining stuff*.
Forchaiity is cold.

In wh.it the deep min* brings;

And soothe where’er we can;
Fair speech should bind tile human mind,
And love link man to man.

But deeds with language dwed;
For one who pines starving birds,
Can scatter crumbs as well.

Must tend a helping hand,
