J ‘;F Tsaa;/’ /n . . M • Inequality of Property. In our country with our laws of dis tribution and our customs and habits, it is impossible that property should be long accumulated in a single fami- Jy. At death, if there is no will, the estate of the ileceased is ecu&lTy di vided among the children. If a will is made, the customs and opinions of society so imperatively demand an equal partition of the property of the testator, that favoritism is very sel | dom seen. Large estates, being tubs divided, are usually reduced to moderate di mensions ; but there is another cause *"T l !.icn'o!!r7T-c^TAfi?rwiTrr’sT?il more powerful force,ihtfiis reduction. The sons of the rich are generally extrav agant and wasteful,'idle and improvi dent. Their Wealth has been easily obtained aqd it is as easily scctrered. j Care, anxiety, industry and toil have ! not been exerted to gather it, and they are not used to preserve it. Thus it seldom Tia'ppens that a fam ily remains rich for more than one or two generauons. In England, the laws of primogeniture and prejudices of society bring about a very different result. .But there is no doubt lint onr plan of distribution is bet tv. i.i 1 the happiness of the people, and bet ter also- towards the production of wealth. This distribution is Pot, however, i yet carried .ar enough. The , very j poor and the very rich tire often found jin out land and the inequality he tween them is immense. The one have more than they need—the,others less. To the one, their wealth is a care ami a buiden —to the others (jjjeifi'pttverty is a cause of sickness : and suffering and crime. It is the duty ’.of the rich, by foundations of charity and benevolence, by enterpri ses of public utility, h} t c encourage ment, of works of internal improve ments and manufactories of eveiy kind and by developing the. resources ol their neighborhood, to use their wealth so.that it will advance the public good It is the duty ol the very poor, to apply themselves ■to their trade or business -with energy, j industry end fterseverance. and to ic iV off hSsfe ‘evil h til) ft which ‘con sume their daily earnings, and thus, by virtue and industry elevate their copdit ion. But there are sorrie whose lot can not be ‘bettered in this way. The sick, the maimed, the blind, the idiot trod j the insane, if they are poor, cm not. la ! bur so ns to improve their position in society. It is the duty of tire rich and of alf who have any means, to aid ilics-tjpersons and supply th ir neces j sit ies. The widow and the orphan are of | ten also in a sad condition. The un- I timely death of the husband and fath er has lelt poor, perhaps destitute.— But yesterday, till their wants were supplied ; to-day. they have neither a home ro shelter them or bread to nourish them. But yesterday, they had all the comforts of life; to-day, i lliey have so little that the mother has to ply her needle to keep her children lat school or to supply them with de cent. clothing. Their income from the labor of the father has suddenly ceas ed. He was a physician and had a large practice ; or he was a clerk and received a handsome salary ; or lie was a merchant and made exten sive sales ; or he was a mechanic and earned good wages ; hut the hand of dea.h has interposed and all these sources ot supply have ceased. This inequality modern science and philanthropy have remedied by this system of Life Insurance. And it be comes every one, who has not accu mulated enough to support his widow and educate his orphan children, to j embrace this method of equalizing i their present and future condition, by investing every year, a small portion of his savings in a policy on his life for the benefit of his surviving family. —Madison Family Visitor.

LUMPKIN, STEWART COUNTY, GEORGIA, MARCH 25, 1853. A Facetious Sheriff. Nearl y half a century’ ago. (say's the editor ol the IVushington News, who well remembers the “time, place, and j scene.) there, dwelt in the town of , in old England, a remarkable oddity, in the person of an attorney-at-law, who, although not fair to look upon, (for he was in truth one of the homli est specimens of humanity ever beheld j by mortal man,) was withal a person j of sound judgement, great benevo-! | lence, various learning, a poet, a ! painter, and a wit It so happened that the aforesaid gent leiyfur ir* appointed M>gii sheriff of the town of had a kind heart, a< many a poor pris j oner could testify, who partook of the good cheer with which the prisoners , : were liberally supplied from the pri -1 vate purse of the worthy Sheriff. It was of course the duty of the | High Sheriff to summon a grand and | petit jury, to attend at tile quarter ses sions, of which the Recorder, Mayor, j am| Aldermen of the borough, com posed the court. In tile performance of his official duty', in summoning the petit jury, our High Sheriff indulged in some of the strangest and drollest freaks, that have probabl ever been her rd of in any other town or county. I In the first place, he summoned for t.hc ( October court, a ju<y consisting of twelve ol the fattest men he could (irftl m ihe borough, and when they came to the book to be sworn, it appeared that only nine juror* couldeit comfort ably within the box I After a great <ieal of sweating, squeezing, and scold -1 Rig, ‘he pannel was literally jammed into the box. and when seated, they presented to the eye of the court, iho barristers, and audience, “ the tightest fit” of a jury that, was ever seen in any court room. Literally they became! | much to the amusement of the court | and its robed advocates, a “packed ju ! ry,” and no mistake ! For the. January term, our facetious High Sheriff (in consequence, it was | said, ot some hint form the Recoider. J th; t there should be no more fat pari | riels summoned to his court) went in to !he opposite extreme. He sjunmon ed twelve of the hast and tallest men he could find in the borough, and when they trek iheir seats in the box, it ap \ peared comparatively empty —there i was indeed loom enough for twelve i more ol the same sort and dimensions. For the April term of the court, qur humorous functionary summoned a jury cons is ing of twelve barbers ! Now it so happened that among the latter were the very perruquiers who dressed the Recorder’s and barristers’ : wigs, and some of the latter, arriving late at tiie bar, had to appear that morning in court with their wigs un dressed or half dressed, so as to cut a very ridiculous figure, amidst the ! smiles and half-suppressed laughter of tile by slanders Ihe High Sheriff of course enjoyed tile fun amazingly, hut j looked “grave as a judge,” while lie j tried to keep silence in the court-room. But the crowning joke of this wag gish officer occurred at the summon ing of his fourth and hist jury at the July session. For ihat term of the court, the High Sheriffnot having the fear of the Recoider, the Mayor, and the Aldermen before bis eyes actually summoned a squinting jury!—twelve as queer looking bipeds as ever took their seats in a jury-box—a jury that was probably more looked at and laughed at, than any of the appointed twelve that ever were sworn to *• well and truly try, and true deliverance make, between their sovereign lord the King, arid the prisoner at the bar.” But the scene was so irresistibly droll, that the learned Recorder could not maintain his gravity. The Mayor and Aldermen followed suit. The barris ters laughed while their wigs became bald and pcwderless; nay, even the poor prisoners in the clock, who were to be put upon their trials, and some of ; them undergo transportation, could I not refrain from joining in the general cachination ! And when the Recorder commanded the High Sheriff to bring tile court room to order, and intimated, with a half-suppressed laugh, that the latter ought to be ashamed of himself; for summoning such, a jury , tile droll ery of the court scene was heightened j considerably by the quick, ready', and sonorous response of the High Sheriff, j who looked at the same time waggish ly at the squinting jury, exjaimed j “All good lawful men your honor!” But our humorous functionary has long since “shuffled off this mortal coil.” “ Where he your gibes now ? your j gambols? your songs'? your flushes of! merriment that were wont to set the table in a roar? —quite chapfallen!” Fidgetty-—Womerri at all times— when they are young, because they fear they will be old maids, and when they are old maids, because ‘the men stare so.’ Have the courage to keep your pro mise, no matter what it may cost.

Early in the morning. Consul Rodney, deputed bv judge Sharkey to administer tile oath, 1 left town on horseback fertile Cumbre, i accompanied by several American gentlemen. A pleasant ride of three miles brought us to the estate where Mr. King was residing, called La Cumbre, (the peak) from its situation on the culminating point of the hills that immediately surround Matanzas. The view from here is one of the most | beautiful the eye ever looked upon. : Far as the vision could reach in this j clear blue expanse.the beautiful valley 1 of the Yumuri extended with its wind i ing river, its varying fields cf green j and gold, dotted here and there with j sparkling buildings that looked like i pearls set upon emerald,and the brown j hills stretching far, far away in the distance. No more lovely or more •t ; impressive spot could have been found in tlie whole world fir the ceremony, and the Solemn grandeur of the act. and of the sc* ne shed its spirit over us. “The oath was administered by Consul Rodney to the Vice President, who was ready and wai'i lg our arri val. The volatile was brought, up to the door, and Mr King stepped into it, in order to ride into Matanzas before tiie sun should he too high to make it pleasant.

Almost every hou-e in the , city was injured. The Warehouses | of Mr. Rankin. Guiihy, Daniel & Cos. i arid 11. S. Smiih A- Cos., were all par tially blown down and unroolrd. Six i or eight stoie houses about Rankin's corner had their front, walls entirely prostrated. Many private residences were partially unrooted. Almost eve ry chimney in the city is down and our shade trees cumber the streets with their lallesi trunks and broken branches. Taylor & t o’s Gin facto ry was unroofed and incalculable in jury done to a large number of Gins already finished, and to the tools and machinery used in the manufacture it is reported that the bridge in Girard was blown down, and a waggon, dri ver and team preciptated into the depths below. No lives were lost in our city. Ii is useless to grieve over unavoid able calamiiys.—lndustry and energy will repair if, and we are. happy to see that even before the storm had abated. > any of our energetic citizens were, busily engaged in removing flie wreck and repairing the damage it has caused. —The damage Is immense, but in the confusion cotisequ nt upon so great a calamity, it is impossible to estimate it. — Tunes and Sentinel. ‘You are writing my bill on very rough paper,’ said a client to his attor nery. ‘Never mind,’ said the lawyer, it, has to be filed before it come to court.’ Have tl e courage to let a man know that you will not lend him money, and not that von can’t.
