BOWi)EJN_ COLLEGE'
This Institution, now rapidly growing in

tered in 1857, /or die purpose of placing a Col
legiate Education within the of the in
dustrious Farmer and Mechanic, ns well as
thosemore highly favored. To thisend.all ex
penses of dress, styleof living, tuition, and
board, have been reduced to the lowest prac t
cable rates. All superfluities and luxuries are
discouraged, and a young man is estimated by
his ability, application and moral character
rather than the cu/ and cost of bis coat. Wit
a course of study, inferior to none, and a stan
daid of scholarship not below the highest, we
offer an education to the struggling youth o
the Country at less thau HALF the COST a
other Colleges of the same grade.
BOWDON COLLEGE
Is the tool of no Political (action, nor Religious j

political or religious opinions. We inculcate

BOWDON COLLEGE
Is free from that most fatal temptation to young
men, the retail of spirituous liquors. Theiu

-HrUh in God,
Two men was neighbors, and
each of them had a wile with sev
eral children, and h s work alone to
support them. Now one ot these
men was all the time miserable,
saying to himself ‘lf I die, or if I
fall sick, what will become of my
wife and children
And the thought would not leave
him, but gnawed at his heart as a
worm gnaws the (ruits in which it is
concealed.
The same thought had come to
ihe other fniher. but he did not dw< ll
upon it “For,” said he,‘-God, who
knows all his creaiuns and « ho
watches over ihem. u ill watch over
me, my wife and children.”
The lattei lived quietly, while the
first did not tasie one moment of
rest, or of inward joy.
One day while working in the
field, sad and cast down on account
of his fear, he saw some birds enter
a bush, go out; and then soon re
turn again. On approaching near
er, he saw two nests placed side by
side and in each one several little
birds, newly hatched and still with
out feathers.
Now when he reiurned lo hi*
work, from time to time he raised
his eyes and watched the birds, who
came and went cairying food to
their little ones. Just at the mom
ent when one of ihe mothers return
ed villi her beak full, a hawk-seized
it, and ttie poor bird struggling
vainly in is grasp, utiereil ilie most
p ; ercipg cries.
At this sight the man, who was
working near fit It more troubled
than e\er. ‘‘For,” said he, ‘‘the
• h ath of the inoili ris ihe death of
hi r iiitle ones. Mine has only me.
Wli t will become of them if I fail
ihem f’ And the whole day he
was gloomy and s;ul, aud-thai right
he could not deep.
The following day, on his return
10 the fields, fie s rid to lnm~selt, ‘1
Want to see the liltleonpsof that
poor unfortunate bird s< veral, no
doubt, have already perished •” and
he hastened toward the bush. On
looking m he suv the liitle ones all
wed: not one of them seemed to
have suffered. Being astonished at
this he concealed Inmself, in order
to waich them.
After a linle while he heard a
slight cry, and [»■ rceiving the se
cond mother bird bri ging in haste
the food which she had githe ed,
and which she dist'inuied to each ol
ihe little ones impartially, aad there
was eeough tor all; thus the orphans
were not deserted in iheir distress.
The father who had doubled Pro
vidence related that evening lo the
other father what he had seen, and
the latter replied, “Why should you
doubt? God never abandons his
children. His love has secrets which
we cannot fathom. Let us believe,
let us hope, let us love one another,
and pursue our way in peace. If I
die before you,you wdl he a father to
my childien, ami. if you die before
me, 1 will be a father to ynurs. And
it both of us die before our children
are of an age to provide for their
wants they have for iheir Father,
our Father who art in heaven.”
R liyion in Women.
How often have young men pro*
pounded to themselves and others
the question, what is the first qnali
ty sought for in the choice of a wife? l
and how diverse havp been the an
swers to this important interrogato
ry. The gay and thoughtless will
point you to beauty, wealth, ac
complishments: otheia, who look be
yond the tinsel of the exterior, re>
gard amiability and feeling as the
brighte.-tjewels in the female char
acter; oihers still, who have search
ed deeper into the springs of hu*
man action, and know well the
fountans from whence flow the pu
rest and most enduring happiness,
will give the only true answer to
the inquiry, to-wit: a strong Chris
tian faith, sentimenls nnd practice.
Religion is everywhere lovely,
but tn women particolaily so. It
makes her but little lower titan the
angels. It purifies her In-art, ele
vates her feelings and s-niiments
hallows her affections, sheds light
on her understanding, and imparts
dignity and pathos to her whole
character. Nor does its influence
end here—
“Lt fceams in the glance of &Ue eje,
It sits on the lip in a smile,
It checks the ungracious reply,
It captures but cannot beguile,”
It should be remembered that life
is not all sunshine. Bright as the
world may be befoie us, we. cannot
live long without encountering many
sorrows, and disajqjointmeuts, and
troubles. They are 8. n,t by a kind
of providence to sever the cords
which bind us too closely to earth;
Ito turn our thoughts ii ward upon
ourselves and upward to heaven.
While our bark glides c dmly on a
summer’s s-m, with the blue sky
above, the bright waters around
us, the blandi-huients of youth,
beauty, accomplishments, may sat
isfy the heart; but let us be over
taken by the storm and tempest, and
where is the support they yield!
Let darkness enter your dwelling
and the pleasure derived from them
is forgotlea, and you look in vain
to the same source for relief. Let
death invade your social circle, and
lay his ruthless hand upon your,
first-born, shrouding ali around vou
in darkness and gloom, and where
do von look for a ray of hope t Ii
is under circumstances like these,
that relig ou transforms a wife into
* ministering angel. She will bind
up your bleeding heart, lead you t •
the fountain of living waters, and
change gl >om aud despondency int i
light and cheerfullness As the sun
insetting, lights up every hlltop,
and tree and cottage, so religion
gilds with its heavenly bea rs every
feeling, enjoyment and occupation.
Woman, from her ve y nature, ie
destined to drink deeper of the cup
of sorrow and suffering than tlteoth
pr sex. Her trials are chiefly of
the heart, and consequently the
liarih si to borne. She is seldom,
perhaps, called upon to contend
with those formidable evils and
temptations which rouse all theem
ergies of nature to rep-l their at
tack, but is beset (from the time she
etn- rge9 into womanhood) by a thou
sand petty trials and annoyances,
which, while they seem too insigni
ficant to require much < ffm to resis
are at the same lime the most diffi
cult to overcome. Religion alone
can ilis.inn these trials, and enable
her to preserve that equanimity aud
peace ofmind so essen ial to happi
ness. It is her talisman. To n she
flies in the hour of dis ippointir.en
aud soi row, anil front it never fails
to derive consolation anil support.
Yet how few, in their selection of a
pariner for life, regard this most
important qualification. How few
'hinkio penetrate into the secret
chambers of the soul, to see wh it is
tln-re hidden within s > fair an exteri
or—if there tiie vestal lamp sheds
its clear and cons ant ray. Exter
nal attractions may lea-1 us captive
foratinv; feeling may send a
thrill of exquisite joy through ihe
hpart of ihe leciptent; talent may
call for h uabounded admirat'on ;
bnt if religion make no part of the
character, the key-st**«e to the atth
is wanting, and the fabric wilkere
long crumble and fdl.
Most persons, on entering a mar
ried slate (particularly in youth),
fancy it a condi ion of unmingled
joy aud pleasure—that they are
wi hin a charmed circle, the bou <ds
of which no sotrow can pass. They
forget the new aud immense respon
sibilities that arc incurred, and the
'rials that must necessrily accompa
ny them. Noi that these should de
ter anyone lion taking this highly
important step, for it is the high
road to improvement and happiness.
What are the boasted pleasures ot
intellect compared to those of affec
tion? The latter are as truly
heaven b >ru and immortal as tie
former; they are the earliest devel
o|>ed in our nature and the last
touched by the finger of deeav.
Woman! thy empire is the heait,
and fie wfio would know the capaci
ty of the human soul for happine?B,
must yield himself to thy sway.
Mistaken Iden'ity.
Siimmer really tieservcs pity, fi>r
it crtamly was uncommonly rough
on him. He was goingup 10 Read
ing the ihe other tlay, and when he
reached pot he happened so»
look in'the ladies room. A woman
sdf there with a lot ot baggage and
thre” children, and before he could
<1 lend hijnself she flung her arms
about his neck, nestled her head up
on his bre.ts', aid burst into tears.—
Slim ner was amazed, indignant,'
' O found (I; -inti ere he could find
ut erane. ? for his feelings, she ex
c aimed : “O, Henry, dear Henry!
We a>e ortoed at lust. Are you
well? Is Aunt Martha still alive?
Haven’' you longed to see your oam
LoiJ'sa?’’ And she looked into
Slimuier’s face and clung to him
ands mlcd through her tears.
“Madame,” sod he, solemnly, ‘‘lf
I am the person a'luded 10 as ‘Hen*
ry,’ permit me to say that you have
made a mistake. My name is Lem
uel, I have no Aunt Martha, and I
don’t own a solitary Louisa, Obl ge
me by letting gn my coal- It excites
remark.”
Then she buri and her bonnet deep
er i ito h 8 waistcoat, and began to
cry harder than ever, and said* ‘‘O,
Henry, how, hoic can you treat me
so ? How can you pretend you ate
uot my husband?”
‘Madame,’ screamed Slimmer, ‘‘il
you do not cease sopping my shirt
bosom and remove your umbrella
from my corn, I shall be obliged to
call for a police. Let me go I say.”
‘‘The children are here,” she per
sisted. ‘ They recognize their dear
father. Don’t you children ?’
“Yes, yes,” ihey exclaimed, “it's
pa, it’s pa, nurd'ar pa.” And they
grappled Slimmer by the irowst r
leg and hung to his coattail.
•‘Woman!” he shrieked, Mns is
getting 8-ri ms. Unhang me I sav.”
And he iried (o disengage himself
from her embrace—while all the
brakemen, and the baggage master,
and the newsboys stood around, and
said his conduci was infamous. In
the midst of the struggle a stranger
entered with a carpet bag. He look
ed exactly like Slimmer—and when
he saw his wile in Sliinmor’s arms
he became excited, and he floored
S irniner wiih that carpet-bag, and
sat on him an Is noie his nose and
earomed on his head, and asked him
what he meant Shmm-r was re
moved on a sir tidier, ad he enemy
wem off with his wile ands unily in
a cab. He called next dav t-> a;, o'o-
S ze. His wile hod made tne mis
take because ol Slimmer’s likeness
to him. And now Simmer wishes
lie may soon be kicked in the face
by a mule so that he will resetn le
no other human being on earth.—

A Di>hearLm.)tf Insurance Agent.
A family named Kemper moved
into a house in our row last week,
writes Max Adler, and Benjamin I’.
Gun i, the life insurance agent who
lives in the same row, was the first
Ciller. lie dropped in to see it he
c >uld riot take out a policy for Mr.
Kemper. Mrs Kemper came down
to the parlor to see him.
“I suppose,” said Gunn, ‘‘that
Mr. Kemper bus no insurance on his
life.”
“No,” said Mrs Kiinper.
“Well, I’d like in gar him to tnk.-
out a policy in our company, kis
ihe sal'iest in the worl i; the largest
capital, seal st rates, and biggest
dividends.”
“Mr. Cemper don't take much
interest in such things now,’’ sad
Mrs. K.
“Well, madam, but he ought to,
in common justice to you- No man
knows when he wliidie. and by pay
ing a ridiculously small sum now,
Mr. Kemper can leave his family in
affluence. I'd like‘to hand you, for
him. a few pamphlets containing sta
tistics upon the subject; may L?’’
“Os course, if you wish to.”
“Don’t you think he can be induc
ed to insure ?” asked Gunn.
“thirdly think so,” replied Mrs.
Kemper.
“Heis in good health, I suppose?
Has he complained lately ol b ing
sick?”
‘•Not lately.”
‘‘May I a?k il he has any cocsid
erabe wealth ?”
‘‘Not a ceni.”
“Then of course he must insure.
No poor man can afford to neglect
such an opportunity. 1 suppose he
travels sometimes- goes about in
railroads cars and other dangerous
palces f ’*
•'No, he keeps very quiet.”
‘‘Man of steady habits, I s’pose?”
‘ Very steady. ’’
‘‘He is just the very man I want,’
said Gunn, -1 know lean s -ll him a
policy.”
“1 don’t think you can,” replii and
Mrs. Kempi r.
‘•Why? When will he b ■ horn ?
I’ll call on him I don’t know any
reason why I shnuldi’t insure him.’
*‘l know,” replied Mrs. K.
‘Why?” ,
‘‘He has been dead twenty-seven
years !” said the widow.
Then Gunn left all of a sudden.
