ClJ)c ConstiMionotist AUGUSTA, ♦♦♦ Tuesday Morning, December 28, 1875. Empty Socks, ’Tis “merry Christinas”—so they say— As such, in faith, I take it; But ’tis to me as sad a day As Memory can make it. The visions of the Past arise; And my sad heart remembers The hopes and fears, thesruiles and sighs Of all those dead Decembers. ’Twere vain to hang the mistletoe; No lips as red as cherries, Will lure me, as, when long ago, I plucked the pearly berries. I’d faith in heaven, and trust in love, In those glad years—long over: Ah me! I then was “hand and glove” With Hope, and “lived in clover.” I had a chateau then—in Spain, And hawks and hearts in plenty; But things have gone “against the grain” Since I was—one and twenty. Perhaps?—St. Nick is generous, But still of fraud it savors, That in glad gilts he brings to us Who need the most such favors. No “gobbler” shall I “gobble up,” No mince pies mince thereafter, Whilst tilling high the crystal cup With champagne’s liquid laughter. For those who have both fires and furs, The yule-tide may seem jolly; But in my cold heart memory stirs, I And makes me melancholy. Ah! Hope will learn at lust to doubt, And Love wield scorpion lashes; Too soon the yule log glimmers out, And leaves me only—ashes. Yet, tho’ the Christmas chimes have brought But echoes of past pleasures, . The “New Years ’ that my dreams have wrought -j Are full of old time treasures. 1 Hope’s “Happy New Year” that awakes After doubt’s dark December, Khali bring me every gift that makes Hearts willing to remember. A lucky, loving, laughing year, A fitting mate for Cupid, Who brings bright days and gladsome cheer, To even tho poor—and stupid. lie brings me back my boyish dreams, (I’m now past twenty-seven ;) Again my “sweetheart” faithful seems. I’ve trust in—hearts—and—heaven. Oh! glad beneficence of Hope! A flower e’n frosts leave sappy And sweet—with dews from heaven’s cope: “New Years” are always “happy." A Bkkeaved Bachelor. DRY GOOODS.

Policies Upon All the Various Plans of Insurance. All Policies Non-Forfeitable—Strictly a Home Company, with its capital and in vestments at home. ENDOWMENT INSURANCE AT LIFE RATES. Low Premiums—Definite Con tracts. The Cotton States Life Insurance Com pany, of Macon. Ga., desirous of meeting the demand of the insuring public for low rates, and contracts that can be under stood by all, offers the Endowment Life-Rate Policy, With confidence that an examination of the plan is all that is necessary to commend it to the favor of all desiring insurance. This plan secures two objects: Ist. It provides for those dependent upon us in the event of death. 2d. It provides for our old age in ease we attain a stipulated age. The low rate of premiums, and the fact that the insurance is payable within the ordinary period of life, makes it The Most Desirable Fcrm of Policy Now Offered the Public. The premium is as low as the usual life premium where the insurance is payable only at death, or the ago of ninety, and the .time for payment of the insurance ranges from the age of 61 to 73 years, or at death if prior. This period may be short ened at any time, at the option of Hie in sured, by additional payments for that purpose. To illustrate the difference between this plan and the usual endowments, the fol lowing is sufficient: In all Mutual Companies the ordinary premium at age 41, payable at age 68, is $42.75 per SI,OOO. The premium on Endowment-Life-Rate plan at age 41, payable at age 68, is $32.47 per thousand dollars. Showiug a saving of Twenty-five per Cent, to the Policy Holder. Reasons for insuring on the Endowment Life-Rate Plan ; Ist. It gives the insurance at the lowest possible cost. 2 i. It provides for your family in case of death. 3d. It provides for yourself in old age. 4th. There can be no loss. In case pre miums should be discontinued, paid-up in surance is given for the amount paid in premiums. sth. It is better than a savings hank. The first premium paid secures a fortune, and if pay ments are continued the accu mulations and amount insured will be much more than could be earned by the most fortunate savings bank. 6tli. It secures the amount at a stipulated age, within the ordinary period of life: and 7tn. By this means it is no longer neces sary to “ die to win.” Endowments at Life Rates.

The Bible refers to it and says: “Were an angel to come down from heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the cause of much injury. We are disposed to doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and so far is it indulged, that iu often leads to misanthropy. This is particularly applicable to the vir tues of many truly valuable remedial agents, however strong they may be en dorsed.

The staple is not injured by over beating, and it loaves the picker without being curled or knitted; the seeding ami cleaning is very complete. Over forty per cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con siderations with this arrangement is its seeur ty against tire. Yours, Ac., M. F.
