Rev. Dr. R. S. Storrs. Rov. Dr. R. S. Stoors, the eminent
divine and author, springs from a family of clergy, both his grandfather, father and uncles being prominent ministers. He himself was born in Braintice, Mass., on August 21, 1821, and pursued his preparatory studies at the Mansou academy, Mass., and graduated from Amhurst college in 1839, being the youngest member of his class.
Lord Thurlow, under whose leadei'-ship English capitalists are investing in the Black Hills tin mines, is very enthusiastic in h'.s descrip ion of the richness of the tin resources of that region. In a recent communication to the London Financial News he says: "Tha t tin exists on the surface of the Black Hills in unlimited quantities and of remarkable purity, is proved to our satisfaction. To develop this business in the future im-mei.S'j i apital must be employed, and unlimited amouri! will be forthcoming. America will quarry ' i ts own tin stone out of the Dakota hill sides, will smelt its own ores, will roll its own tin plates, and will put a prohibitive duty on the imports of foreign tin, in pursuance of its policy of fostering its own industries. These things are now inevitable, and will happen as surely as night follows day; and no amount of whining or lamentation from Cornwall or el-ewhere can stop the development of the American tin industry. Whether English investors will bo permitted to participate in the proiits to be derived, remains to be seen.1'
A good result of the secret ballot system is, visible in the returns of the late municipal elections in Connecticut. Be ore the adoption of this system the large and small manufacturing towns were practically controlled by friends and favorites of the mill owners, and it was worth a man's situation to oppose the corporation candidate. The secret ballot hast effected a radical change, and empljyes enjoyed the privilege of exercising their own discretion in the choice of a candidate, without fear of discharge. The potent influence of the secret ballot places the control of local affairs in the hands of the eiti; ens.
Can any monument be more elo-queni than that which the Society of the Sons of the Resolution are ab nit to erect to Nathan Hale in City Hall park in New York? Nathan Hale was the Connecticut boy. destined for the ministry, who, upon Washington's call, went into the British lines as a spy, and was captured and hanged near the spot where this memorial is to be erected. The statue represents the glorious young patriot with elbows and feet tied, and just before the rope was fastened, and he had uttered these noble words: i*I only regret I have but one life to lose for my count ry .

A CHAPTER FROM SCHOPEHHAHR. Among those summer visitors at
Homburg who regularly attended the afternoon concerts on tho Kur Terrace was a lady drossod in deep mourning. She always occupied a bench in one of the most retired spots and listened to the performance of the band with a peculi r, dreamy expression iu her lovely eyes. When she first made her appearance there her slender and distinguished figure and h e r light golden huir ere.••ted quite a sensation, especially among the men. But she maintained her grave reserve determinedly and avoided making herself conspicuous in any way, and, as she was in reality older than she appeared to be at first sight -for her l ight hair was apt to puzzle the most experienced judge—-this attention soon ceased. Neither did she seek the society of ladies. In short, she preferred to be If ft entirely to her own thoughts, and was never met in company of anybody.
A certain occurrence, however, produced an abrupt change in her; during one of the afternoon concerts, while he r large dark eyes, wi th , shadows of sorrowful experience over them, were gazing into the distance as usual, she suddenly started with surprise, and a deep blush mounted to her pale face as she beheld a tall man slowly walking down the path near which she was seated. He, was an officer, in a captain's uniform, a man of line form and knightly bearing, with a full dark blonde beard, grave features and deep blue eyes that betokened uncommon gentleness. Ho did not carry a saber, but supported himself upon a cane with a lar^e ivory handle.
Ho also showed signs of surprise when, he saw the lady in mourning. He hesitated a moment, as if ho wished to turn back, but finally resumed his walk and bowed towards the bench in a respectful manner, which indicated that he had no intention of renewing an old acquaintance. The lady had hardly noticed this, when she arose hastily iind with agitation, and offered him her hand.
"Reinhard!M she exclaimed, and then she corrected herself. "Herr von Nordmann!'1
The officer turned towards hor. There was a look of sorrow iu his eyes and his voice trembled slightly. Taking the offered hand, he said:
"I did not know whether it would be agreeable to you. L thought vou
j would not recognize me at all." I She sighed, looking at him tenderly and inquiringly,
1 " I t is so long ago?'1 she replied, with a smile. '"You remind me of the fact that I have become old. Yes, there is no doubt about that. Twelve years, is it not? But," and her voice began to tremble, "we do not easily j
i forget the friends of •our youth. And you did not recognize me at once.1 '
I "You have retained your youth-fulness te t ter than I. I am crippled, partially, at least: a keepsake of 1S7".11
i "Were you in Ihc war? I was sur-! prised to see you in a uniform.'1
"You would not have thought the tender little boy capable of that, would you? Yes, men never know how they will change. I did not lovo the soldier's profession, but the fatherland called mo and my aversion was conquered. I don' t make sentimental verses now, for you to smile at. My private studies are of even a graver nature than yours wore. Do you still study Schopenhauer, mtdam?1 1
j Ho looked at her sharply, but he i showed no emotion. j After a little while she smiled suddenly and shook her head.
! "Mot in the lc 1st,11 she said, 'T read only novels now.'1
"At that time you ridiculed me because I1'
Three million acres of Indian land, valued at fifty million dollars, wiil be added lo the public domain in Minnesota this year, iho ceded land including a large area of pine forests. The moncyjjerived from the sale of the land is to be placed in the national treasury at five per cent interest to the credit of the Indians. A largo proportion of the money will be devoted to schools, and to aid and encourage agricultural pursuits. The remainder of the reservation will be divided on the severalty plan, ihere-by forcing the Indians into useful and beneficial occupations.
••BUT WHAT DOES YOUR Ml.'SHAN'D SAY TO THAT?11
"Do you remember that so well? At that time I was a foolish young thing. We look at the world with different eyes after adding twelve years to our ag3.'
I "You believed in Schopenhauer, then-- I shudder. Madam-—if I am not mistaken, even in Kant. You also loved Darwin." *
! "And now 1 have reconciled myself even with the old-fashioned lyric, and
, aquoor feeling overcomes me when I
road old Elchendorff, or go as t ray in the 'Spring Time of Love.' Do you believe t U t ? "
T h e lady'e features became grave again, almost s tem, and she replied with a frigid voice:
"He is dead. I have been a widow for more tn n two years.1 '
The Captain grew pale; his hand that hold the cane shook violently. He felt as if everything before him was enwrapped in a waving mist; ho walked a t the hide of the beautiful woman silently, like one dreaming. She kept her eyes turned downwards and grew still paler than usual.
After a time, when they had left the terrace and passed partly through the promenade, she threw an inquiring glance at hor companion and said softly.
"Then you know that I marriedP" He nodded without looking at her. "You said, yourself, tha t it is not
easy for us to torget the friends of our youth,11 he replied. " I have not been in the south of Germany sinco then, but I have m e t people in Berlin who knew you.1 '
" In Berlin?1 ' "Certainly," he answered, confused
ly. "Accidentally, perhaps, just at that time. I never heard of the doath of your husband. It w;<8 accidentally, without doubt. I frequently spoke of you, and in this way I learned that you had m irried a Herr von Wittkow-sky. I am grieved to find you a mourner. Please accept my sympathy. Oh, this is your residence?1 '
She had halted in front of one of those little villas that lie in the outskirts of the Kurpark. She looked at h im.
"Will you promise me to call on me soon?" she said, "or, come to take tea with me this evening. Slay I expect you?'1
" I do not deserve to be treated so kindly. 1 have become more sedate, Hortense, and I am just as tedious as I was at that t ime—perhaps more so.11
"You are coining. I expect you, even if vou were the most tedious of all mortals We will talk of the time of our youth; tha t will be a better entertainment for us than all tho pleasures of society. I expect you at 7 o'clock. Good day, Captain."
She gave him her hand and disappeared behind the vines that ornamented the porch of the house. Ho looked after her as if ho were in a dream, waiting a little. Then he w Iked up the short, steep street to tho hotel in which he had taken his quarters. i l ie came to tea on that evening, and
became on all the following evenings. Hereafter the pretty blonde lady nt
tended the afternoon concerts in company of the tall ollicer with the Crown Prince beard. And when they were seen together on the lonely paths of the spruce park, or driving to Sal-burg, or the Marblestone, it was said, in those circles whose interest the lady in mourning had excited, that tho Captain was a lucky fellow.
But Keinhard was not happy amidst all this good luck. He w.is seen sitting on tho most lonely benches of the Kurgarten iu a thoughtful mood, and when he was at home ho usually walked about in his room uneasily, in spite of the pain that his wound caused him, as if he had a hard battle to fight with himself. Even in presence of the pretty woman an uneasiness sometimes overcame him, and when Hortense looked at him in surprise and asked him a gentle question she received no reply.
One evening about a week after the i r meeting, they were seated in Hortense^ cosy salon. The tea was beginning to diffuse its pleasant se mt through the room. They had just returned from a walk to the Hardt, and Hortense seemed to be in an excited frame of mind. During their conversation she had spoken of her husband to him at length for the first time. Keinhard knfcw now that her marriage had been a very unhappy one; that the nine years which she had passed at the side of a selfish and rough man had been but a series of disappointments, insults and tortures to her. Tho recollection of that time had excited her to such a degree that she had shed tears. Her eyes were red, her breath quick, and her hands trembled as she served the tea.
While silently seated together in this way her tears suddenly began to flow again, and she pressed both hands to her face passionately. Keinhard was deeply moved. Tho. pity arising within him mado him forget the intentions which he had formed only that very morning. He seized her gently by her wrists and said in a tender and consoling tone:
"Hortense, compose yourself. Tha t is all past now. Your sorrows have* come to an end."
And then he was frightened, for her "not head rested on his breast, and he r soft and silky hair almost touched his lips.
"Oh, Reinhard," Hhe sobbed, "why
diant with wild joy, »4we are too foolish ehildrwi. We have never done anyth ing but ^uwrrel, and still we have; always loved one another BO much. Yes, you blind man, I have not loved you less than you loved me. I marr ied , Her r von Wittkowsky because bet-wooed me, and because my re la t ives ' , persuaded me; because ray hear t revolted and despaired; because I ha ted you for your faithlessness. I was n o t blind. 1 saw only too well tha t you courted me, but the love letter*, which.
-expected with so much certainty,. iled to arrive. You did not care for
m e any louger.11 , " B u t Schopenhnuer—your Schopen
h au e r , " he stammered. "Your eight pages have probably r e
mained where you placed them." He looked at hor with an expression
of astonishment. "But how is t ha t An hour later Hortense received tho j possible—how is that possible?" he
did It not turn out otherwise? How often have I thought of t ha t during my time of suffering. If we bad found each other then, Keinhard, what years of happiness we would have had."
Ho kissed her head, pressed her tou-derly into the corner of the sofa, and arose. She saw him go to the open window and look out into the darkness. She did not follow him, but her hear t throbbed quicker and quicker, and she kept her eyes on him with passionate anxiety.
Finally, ho turned around, and said: /T Is/ fa " I t is impossible for me to talk
you. Allow me to write to guxC and to leave you now. Farewell, Hor-
! tense." He made a motion as if he wished to
give her his hand, but changing his mind suddenly, he bowed und left the room.
promised letter. She had remained in j the same crouching position on the sofa, tortured by the most contradictory feelings. At times she thought that Keinhard had offended her, then again she stretched out her arms for him longingly, and came very near following him. Finally, sho decided that sho would never see him again, and return his le t ter without opening it-
When the letter arrivod, she took it from the gir l ' s hand eagerly, threw the envelope to tho floor, and glanced over the lines without stopping at the single words.
Ho had not writ ten much, but what a storm it raised within her! I t was thus:
" D E A K MADAM: The words which escaped you this day havo made me immeasurably happy, and at the same time immeasurably miserable. The most beautiful dream of my life has become real, but thereby also h a s been decided tha t battle in my hear t which has filled me with thoughts of flight during the last few days.
"J have no feelings of resentment, my dear Hortense, but the thought is intolerable to me that you should begin to value me only after another man has made you unhappy. Perhaps you will believe me to be exaggera t ing again, but it is best for us to obey tho warning voice of our conscience.
"In former days you ridiculed my feminine ways, my enthusiasm for lyrics, poetry . nd all those,. Utile sentimentalities of my youthful yea r s . Tha t grieved me all th.s more bee uise I loved you passionately, lint a mite of hope remained in me, and it was this that tempted mo to write to you and express my feedings toward you.
"Do you remember the quarrel which separated us? You smiled at my little gold-lined book of poetry, and when 1 asked you what l i terature you WVA'C
reading at tho time, you answered proudly, "Schopenhauer. '1 I felt as if cold water had been poured over me. And still I was tempted, in the last hour that I was to be with'" you, to write those tender confessions and questions that were never answered. 1 stole, like a thief, into tho room which your uncle had set apart for you. I do not call it your room, for at the time I shuddered at the thought that you were capable of sleeping beneath those pistols and ya tagans which I saw. And there , before me, stood the bookcase containing all the names which you knew so well—Kant, Darwin, Humboldt, Schopenhauer—I shuddered again, but I took Schopenhauer and placed my eight pages of love into it. They were never answered, Hortense. You probably despised me all the more after that. A year later I heard of your engagement ivith Herr von Wittkowsky.
"I am of a quiet disposition, Hortense, but 1 could never conquer my love for you; it will accompany me through my lifetime.
"Farewell, and may you be happy. You could not love mo then because you undervalued me; now you overvalue me because your hear t is excited by sorrow.
"But, whatever may be tho cause, I love you, and always shall love you. Your "KKiNHAun."1
When Hortense had finished glancing tho letter over, sho arose hastily and called for her maid.
"Quick, my cloak and hood!1' The girl looked at her with surprise;
sho had never seen her mistress so excited before.
Not even a look into the mirror, and tho lovely, shining hai r was hanging loose beneath the black lace hood.
Sho descendod the stairs and walked up the street hurriedly, until Josef a* could discern no more of 'nor. Where was sho going so late at night? To tho blonde officer?
A few minutes later, Hortenso stood at Keinhardt 's door, hor hear t beating wildly. Another minute sho stood before him.
He was confused and could not ut ter a word, but ho did not withdraw his hands from hers when she seized thorn.
"Keinhard.11 she said; her eyes ra-
said.
WHKKE WAS SHE GOING SO LATE?
" T h a t is very simple. I have never read Schopenhauer in all my life, n o r Kant, nor Darwin. The bookcase was the property of my poor cousin, and I merely wished to tease you with the name—wild and fooiish school gir l tha t I was. Forgive that untruth, Keinhard, I havo done hard penanco for it. Forgive mo. I have never undervalued you; I have always loved
j you. Many a time 1 felt as if 1 must J embrace and kiss you, because you I never made any advances, because you j were so bashful and always talked of ! verses and books, that was what ex-
cited me to tease you. I was a wild school girl. Forgive me. "
"And I a fooiish boy,11 ho said, placing his arms around her and dr i\v-ing her towards him. "But I will not let you part from me now, and we will, both of us, be; more sensible in the future. My sweet wife, I believo I Ciimo very near making another mist ake . "
"So do I, Keinhard, but fortunately I am past my school-girl , days now,
[ and if you Lave no objections, we will ' pack our trunks to-morrow or tho day after, and journey to my uncle's place at Sontheim."1
j " T o Sontheim?11 he asked. [ "Whenever. 1 visit my uncle I oeeu-' py tho old place as yot." ; "And shall we read Schopenhauer j together now?''
"Yes, my love—at least the beautiful chapter which you inserted.11
] She smiled and kissed him, and withdrawing herself from him glided
' away swiftly with a tender "good night.11
He stood there, as in a dream, for a long time, and ho asked himself whether it was a space of twelve years or a day —one day of anxiety—which was coming to an end now.

Cure For Ingrowing Nails, Dr. Hoffman, a German surgeon, has
succeeded in remedying this troublesome evil by the use of chloride of iron, Here is his method as given by hiiTi: "The ent i re limb is first thoroughly' cleansed and disinfected with sublimate solution. The nail is then slightly elevated and liquor Jerri ehlori-di applied to the affected p a r t This is repeated on the second or third day. After a few days, or, should suppuration occur, somowhat earlier, tho hardened crust covering the granulat ions is removed und the bleeding checked by an application of tho iron solution. Three or four days later the crust is again removed, and this process is r e ^ pouted until the prominent skin folds have been com pi ;toly leveled. The nail is rendered soft and friable by the iron solution, and if a little care is taken may be excised without pain with a pair of scissors or a dull-odged knife.

Queer Customs in Thibet. Polyandry is thut species of poly
gamy in which the wife has more husbands than olio, and it prevails wherever the Thibetan lun^uatje is spoken, even in districts on the Indian aide of the mountains. Polyandry is found in many other places, such as the inter ior of Ceyion, amoug the Todas and Nairs of Southern India, Iroquois, and aboriginal Tiusmaniaus; but Thibetan polyandry has the peculiarity that the husbands are all brothers, or at least very nearly related, so that the woman becomes the wife of a whole family. I t does not appear to be in anyway connected with the Thibetan religion, but to owe its existence to the poverty of the country and the desire to limit the population, rich and poor, and it is only superseded by polygamy, or multiplicity of wives, where the people have been much in contact witl£ Hindoos or Mohammedans.
Turner, the second of Warren Hastings' envoy to Thibet, says that th i number of husbands is not rehtrii'ied or defined. At Teshu Lumbo, the residence of the Teshu Lama, ho has
"t*-icnown a family of five brothers living-happily with one wife, and ho thinks this probably is the practical limit. The children are regarded as scions of the house, ra ther than of any individual member of it; all the husbands are treated as the fathers of the children, and there is no noticeable difference in the relation^ of a child to the different fathers. The surplus women I d t by the system, are provided for in the Lama nunneries, where they learn to read and copy the Thibetan Scriptures and to engage in religious services.
The choice of a wife for a family is the right of the older brother, and the contract he makes involves marr iage contracts with all the other brothers. The system is said to have existed in Thibet since prehistoric time, so that its origin is lost in antiquity. I t has been suggested that it arose in a state of society where men were forced to be away from homo, and where the duty of protecting the family would fall on the brothers in turn, .vl'iie nota-bl .• benefit is that it restricts population iu regions where emigration is dillleult and where the means of subsistence cannot be easily increased.— London Globe,.

In the J)xvk Daey Se:i. It has long been known that the day
light cannot penetrate for any great distance into the depth of the sea or our deeper lakes. There has bjon, howover, much discrepancy iu t h e r e -suits of experiment*). A Swiss investigator, M. Asper, has recently combined his researches with those of J'rof. F. A. Forrell, and come to some interesting conclusions concerning the penetration of daylight into the waters of the Swiss lakes. The method of the experiments is interesting. Ily moans Of a somewhat complicated apparatus, a rapid gelatiu-brOiuide piate was. wii.li proper protection, lowered to the depth desired desired, exposed for ten minutes and then withdrawn for developmjnt.
The. results of several trials appear to establish the general conclusion that
^ in the bake (Jeneva iu tho month of September the amount of daylight at the deptivof 170 metres below the surface is abomV4ho same as the li^ht pcr-ceived of a clear -night when ihere is no moon. Similar experiment:- e:u"r:ed on in the Mediterranean apptjar to show that in the middle of "-a... bright sunlit di'y perfect darkness is attfttuod at the depth of ;5iJi) metres. Thus "at--LJ less tlmn loOO feet we probably pass below the level where sunlight has any sensible inllueuce on tho life which the waters contain.
As most of the sea floor, probably more than ][)-20 of its area, has greater depth tlmn 1,:)00 feet, we may assume that in general the life of the sea-bottom has to live in utter darkness, a, gloom practically as deep as that of a cavern. As over half tho earth 's surface is covered by water to a. greater depth than 1,300 feet, it follows that more than half of the earth receives no direct effect from sunlight,
Tho experiments on bake Geneva appear to show a seasonal variation in the transparency of the waters, there being a diirerenee of twenty or thirl •; metres iu the penetration of light, th:; sun's rays attaining the greatest depth in March aud the least in August. The <1 it re re nee in the penetration of light into tho waters of the Mediterranean and those of Lake Geneva appear* ;o indicate that the latter basin contains
-'in. its waters, despite the apparent clearness of the thud, a certain small amount of organic matter.—Xew York •Journal.
Rules for a Kaiuy Day. If tho umbrella is at tho "other end
of the line," bear it patiently. Some other umbrella will do ju fc as well.
Be sure and inform every one you meet that "it rains.''' Otherwise they might remain iu ignorance of the damp fact.
Waterproof garments may be depended upon to shod water upon other folks. That seems to be tho chief ob-jjoct of their existence.
Do not allow any ventilation in a horse car on a rainy morning. It tnight exhilarate tho passengers to deeds of violence.
Carry your umbrella very carefully and you can just manage to drain one quarter section of it down the back of the person who is so unfortunate as to »bc ahead of you. H e will appreciate this,—Hartford Post.

THE STATE. A Norway Brut*.
Henry Sampson, a prominent young business man of Norway, was arrested in Iron Mountain a few days ago for criminally assault ing little rt-year-old Mary Bracker t , the daughter of a saloon keeper living opposite his place of busiuess The child is dangerously ill, but in the opinion of the doctors will recover. The citizens of Norway are in a fever of excitement, and tbe indignation at Just ice Patenaude s act in fixing Sampson's bail at 11,000caused him to issue a new warran t and place bonds at #),000. The prisoner was unable to secure bail, and has been taken to Norway for gaiety.
'Sampson visited the mother of the child and offered a sum of money to have the case settled, but the offer was refused, thus dispelling any idea that the case was one of buickmail. The prisoner waived examinat on aud will take his chances in the circuit court.

Tho Iiulian Wins. Years ago, when the Jackson iron com
pany was locating certain mine proi>eity near Fla t Lake, it employed an Indian named Tobaginau to assist them, <.nd gave him twelve shares of unassessable stock ia in the company. Alter he died this stock was found in his house, and his daughter, Charlotte, tried to get tha company to pay its value, but the claim was resisted en tho ground that she was his daughter by an Indian marriage, which, under the law, is no marriage at all.
The supreme court holds that under the tribal relations the Indians were then maintaining the marriage was recognized by them, and is thereroro to be treated as just as good as iiuybody's marriage. So Charlotte wins her case.

NEWS SUMMARY. WILLIAM WANTS PEACE.
govern-It will of the in the
H'.s Address, However, Teems With Warlike Siusrjrestions.
The reichstag opened to day. Her r von Boott icher read the emperor 's speech from t h e throne. The address says: The .ctive atr.eiit.on of the present reichstag h»s been especially directed to the securmg of peace abroad and ut home, and the tasks of the forthcoming session will be in the same direction. When the reichstag met in 1'87, t h e foremost object was tbe consolidation of the defensive powers of the fatherland. Your co operatiou to this end will again be claimed. In order to develops the efficiency of the army, its readiness ior action in accordance with whatever circumstances may arrive, will thoreby impart to the efforts of the emperor and bis exalted allies for the preservation of peace the weight which is their due in the council of nations.
A bi.l will be presented by the m e n t amending the military law. prov.de for a fresh distribution army, and is intended to readjust, interest of the training and conduct of the a rmy, the inequalities of organization whrich have ansed t irough. strengthening the army and tho disp.acement of troops from time to t me. From this cause, and t t ie corresponding expansion of the naval power arises the additional expenditure sot forth in the budget.
In hi ist Africa, th tuks to the approval of the reichstag, thorough measures for the suppression of the slave trade and the protection of German interests have been taken. The forces organized have, conjointly wi th the navy, so far accomplished their tusks, rendering it again |>ossible, after agreement with the other participating powers, to raise the blockade. The sultan of Zanibar. moreover, has issued comprehensive decrees promising to insure the abolition of slavery.

Great Britain has vast interests in China, and, to avoid suffering vicariously for the sins of Canada, she is endeavoring 10 get the $50 tax abrogated.
Capt. Cl.iyson, commander of the coast guard of the Chinese navy, says there is no doubt that tbe Chinese government feels very sore tig..iust both Canada and the United s ta tes for their t reatment of China men. Whether China will take act ive measures to retaliate against these tries he is not at liberty to any. Tl no doubt about her i>ower. ThearfMN navy are belter drilled and equippsWl the outside world b»s any idea of, 1 becoming more perfect all the time, eign officers are to be found in all branches of the service. Her resources in mone* and men are seemingly unlimited, and any power with whom she quarrelled would have to put up with whatever t rea tment she meted out to them. England had become a ware of this and was making strenuous endeavors to remove the ouly oause for trouble that ever existed.

She would have fallen had not Heyser seen her condition and came to her rescue. Su pporting her with one arm he stepped to one side and assisted her to pass him, gently forcing her out to the platform. Before he could follow her the mall train crashed into the accommodation, the heroic boy was caught in the shattered ruins and fatally injured.

And w e shall see how all God's plans are right,
And how what seemed reproof was love most true.
And we shall see how, while we lrown and

So God, perhaps, is keeping from us now Life s -weetest things, becauso it seem-

And if, sometimes, commingled with life's w.nc,
We find the wormwood, and rebel and shrink.
Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine Pours out this potion for our lips to

Life Insurance and Women. What an inestimable boon life insur
ance is to women! Until it was elaborated and found feasible, there was no method by which a man could provide for his family in case of his premature death. Every man stood alone, and if he died he d r a p e d down bis family with him, if not into the#rave, at least into poverty, Life insurance enables every family to shar» in the general productiveness of human life, even though the husband and- father may not live beyond his prime. Under the operation of this beneficent system, over five hundred million dollars have been paid by American life companies to the widDws, orphans and other representatives of deceased policy holders. In view of the poverty and distress which have been the portion of the widow from time immemorial, and in view of the comparative ease with which this poverty and distress can now be .pruarded against, as is demonstrated before the world every day, it seems almost increditable that women should oppose, or men ever neglect, life insurance. The family of the man who dies uninsured is worse off now than before life insurance was known. Little sympathy is felt for those who suffer from calamities wljich might have been easily ayoided/and resrrets for neglect of tho dictates ot prudence must be as deep a^/fbey are unavailing.
Let woman rejoice that life insurance recognizes her rights, and that the life policy secures/hem.
Let man rejoice that the life policy gives him the power to protect those whom he loves. /
Let both remember that it is a practical matter,which puts great blessincrs within their reach, but requires their pratical eb-operation in order to be of real benefit to them.
