Every Policy issued by the Company is nnji-forfeitable, and contains a Clause stating its exact Surrender Value. BEFORE INSURING YOUR LIFE CR ACCEPTING THE AGENCY OF AX\ COMPANY ? RE AB THE FOLLOWING : A lengthened experience has demonstrated that the rates of Premium ordinarily charged ny Life Insurance Companies are from twenty-five to thirty per cent, in exet-r? ol' what are necessary for a safe and legitimate conduct of the business. In other words, carefully and prudentlr-nianaged Companies charging "Mutual" rates have been able to return to their policyholders from 25 to 30 percent, of the amount charged for premiums, When Life Insurance Companies were first organized, the reliability of thc data upon which the premiums were constructed had not undergone the test of experience. It was thought, therefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event, meet all the presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the business. As long as the matter was involved in some doubt, it was better to fix the rate too high than to incur the risk of making it too low ; because, in the former case, the error could be easily remedied, nt least itt part, by returning to the policyholders, at certain interval?, such portion of the premium charged as was found unnecessary for the purposes of the business and the complete security of the Company. Exp?rience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that tjicse rates are exces sive, what possible excuse can there be for maintaining them ? Availing themselves of this experience, the .Directors and Managers of the Universal Life Insurance Company, at its organization, adopted a scale of premiums in accor dance therewith, aud which has proved to be fair and adequate, and all that was necessary to meet the requirements of the business. These premiums are about twenty five per cent, lower than those charged by Mutual Companies. It abo appeared, inasmuch as the rates so established were as near as could possibh be determined fair rates, and not ia excess of what I usura ??ce has previously cos! thi policyholders'" in Mutual Companies, that any profits arising from prudent manage ment justly and properly belonged to thc stockholders ol thc Company, for the risk inclined by thom in undertaking the business. Experience has shown that there are sources ol' profit in the j-raelice cf thc business which theory will not admit of being considere I as elements in the calculai ion of ihr from ? saving in the mortality of the mendier* of a Com : train in interest on the investment its premiums, th? profit: ipsmg anti surrender ol roiiuos uv tho members, and from otho; minor sources. Profits from these sources,in a Company \? <.>>. .i of ;? capital nf $200,000, and do in? a fdr amount of business, would give lo the stockholders dividends largely in e.\ ?ess of "what were counted on by the Directors of thc Universal a; ?hr time of it organiza!ion. They have, therefore, determined t" divide among the jwliovholucrs ? the Company a large part oi* the profits accruing from thc sown s named, ; ?j of with h have h'-iel ?fore been divided among thc stockholders. The plan adopted foi such division is as follows: Every person who may hercaftri insure with tho Unite rsd\\\\\, for the purposes of division, be I rented as a stockhol der to the extent of one Annual Premium upon his Poliey : and wit' aliare in thc p rr.ft, of (he Company to precisely the same extent at a Stockholder orrin g an ennui amount of /he capital stock. By this system of Insurance, original with the Universal, the policyholder securer the following important advantage? : FIRST. Insurance txt the regular "Stock-' ratea, rt quiring a 2-riinarU ouU.u>/ ol about twenty to thirty per rent, leas than that charged by Mutual Companies, iv?? which is equivalent to a yearly " dividend" paid in tulvance of that amount on mutual rates. This low cost of insurance is worthy of attention. Since its organization tint Company has received in premiums from ils polit yhoJdcrs the sum of $1.017,000. To effect the sane- amount of insurance in a Mutual Company would have cost them an initial outlay of ?2.000.000. By allowing its policyholders to retain in their own pos- j session this excess of $4S3,000, thc Universal has virtually paid them a "dividend of I $488,000; and paid it, too, in advance, instead of -ii the end of one or more yeais. li is 'inpossible .o Ind any example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance at so low a cost by returning to ils policyholders an equal amount upon similar receipts. SECOND. Participation in thelegitimate profits of the Company, ujiou apian which secures to lite policyholders thc same treatment which Directors aita Stockholders award !t> themselves. This system of participation, in connection with the low " stock" rates of premium, must necessarily secure tu the policyholders every possible advantage to I e derived from prudent and careful management. The low rntes of premium compel economy, and, mdcpcnuVnl of participation, guarantee t" the policyholder his insurance al a rate which is not in excess of the cost in well managed mutual companies ; while, by the proposed pian of participation in what mav be considered the legitimate prof!* of thc business, tho cost will be still fu rl her diminished. Thus bv the combined -advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in th.-profits it is confidently behead that the UNIVERSAL LIFE INS?KANCE COMPANY offers insurance ut its lowest prailkabj? cost. f^f^" Those of the existing Policyholders who desire to participate in thc Profits under the new Plan can do so by making application to the Head Onice, or to any of J the Agents of the Company. Hie Company is in a sound financial condition.

We'll miss thee at morning, at noon, and at night, They will miss thee in the home thy pres ence made bright, But God in his wisdom has summoned thee home, And thou art now with tho angels who surround his throne. Weep not for him, mother,-but trust in His power Who has promised to guard and to soothe in sorrow's dark hour ; Weep not for hin?, loved wife-in Heaven thou wilt meet, Ll fe's stormy voyage o'er, at the dear Sa vior's feet. Dear sisters and brothers, whom ho loved upon earth, Who shared in his sorrows and joined in his mirth, Weep not.

It was niylii in Ycddo. tho capital ul' Japan, and a family consisting of a mother and three sons, aged poppet ively twenty, twenty five and thirty year?, sat in a mi> ?rable hovel in an obscure part of the city, bewailing their unhappy lot. Thc father of the family had died when the youngest boy was hut throe years of ago, and misfortune had followed the willow from that time lill now when she and her three sens, notwithstanding their ii i inu.~t exertions to gain a livelihood, were 0:1 thc point of starvation. "Can nothing be done to keep our mother fr? m famishing '.'" ashed thc elder . th? brother:*, MS h? gazed with a look if ?,.-nv into :i. haggard Face of his . ?v has eaton nothing roi i wo o ' .

You have a .ong life before you if yee. escape starvation. Therefore look to yourselves and have me to die!" *' Never !" exclaimed the throe sons in a breath, und the elder added, whiic a des perate light .-hone in his eyes, "There are cam and wine in the country, wv uiolher, and you arc entitled to enough .it least to keep yon from starving! You shall have it, my mother! Y'ou shall have it !" and beckoning his brothers to follow, he lumea to leave the hovel. " f>o nothing rashly, oh, my son !" ex claimed the mother, in a tone of anxiety ; " I would far rather die than that lunn should come to thee !" '.Come what may, thou shalt not die!" was th? reply; ''the country is rich, thou art entitled to sustenance, and shall have it ! Como, brothers, lei us forth, aud con sult as to means !" and leaving the old woman in doubt and dread, ihe three youths departed. When Ihey had reached an obscure ?pot ..omc distance from iheir uliode, tho elder j brother ci died a bait, and said : " Brothers, I can sec but ono way to rescue j ?air mot ker fr?.ni certain death, ?'nd escape si arv dion ourselves, and that is to join I i: ? murderous band bf Chino, the oui!a-.T. j ? have revolved this maller in my mind for a lone; time past, and have made my- ! . lt familiar with Chino's haunts und have als gained some knowledge of his method of doing business. His band is constant ty recruited by starving wretches like our .:< lv? s, and ins first act to win them to himself and make them entirely his own, is to relieve their immediate wants. Un der present circumstances death inevitable stares us iu the face, and the worst the Kubo can do is to kill us if we are taken prisoners. What say you, my brothers?" A 'h ad silence of some moments dura tion ensued, and then the younger spoke : ; '. Chino !" he exclaimed, shuddering, as 1 thc dreadful name passed his lips. "Chino, ' thc frightful murderer, wlio.se heart knows , no touch ol' pity-who spares neither ?-ex ! nor ago, and for whose capture, or that pf j any one of hi.s murderous band, a largo ; reward has boen offered? Oh, brother, this is a fearful alternate ! Life would bc too dearly purchased at such a price ! Lei us sec if we cannot do better." He rc fleeted deeply a moment, and then, os a : look of hope irradiated his countenance, j he continued: "I think 1 can improve ? upon your suggestion, brother. DIM!li is 1 nothing as com j ia rod with dishonor. Our | mother would never*eat thc bread earned by crime. The Kubo has offered a large ' reward for the capture of any member o? Chino's band. Tin?, then, is my plan. : Y'ou shall bind me, and take me before the judge, where \oll shall charge me with being one of C lupe's piost important men-this I will not deny; the matter will be laid before the Kubo-you will get the reward, and hasten to thc relief of oar mother, and I will gladly suffer death. By adpptir.g this course only one of us will be sacrificed, aud the other two will ! ?Binain lo protect and comfort our mol her; ' whereas, should we join Chino's terrible band, we should all bo irretrievably ru ined," Tho elder brothers ttckn?wli-tlged the soundness" of lilt youngers Views, Lut they would not agror that ho should sac rifice himself They insisted that they should cast lots to soo who should Lo the victim,' and this was finally agreed toi Singularly enough .1 He younger lc the drawing, and was he doomed o last. " It is but just," he'said, withal of resignation. " Youjfare both of ; importance than myself: You ave at and healthy when yojtVhuv-'&od on to eat, and can t?fe groper cl?re ol mother, while I am effeminate and \ at the best, and am only a burden to all. I am glad that il has fallen tc lot to benefit you allj Therefore, n no delay, but bind nie'at once, and me before the judge.i-Timo is preci and our mother may starve ere you li her relief." With many tears {the brothers bc thc youth, and carrfed him before judge, where they pj^ferred the ser charge that he was ope of the chief : in Chino's band. Great waa the joyfof tho judge, T\ having on some account awakened tb will of the Kubo, wasanxioua to reina himself in favor, and Tho knew that ni ing would so rejoice Ins master aa to p within his power ao illustrious a crim as an important memper of the notori outlaw's force. A At once the magistrate sent word to Kubo of the important capture, and t ruler lost no time inj making his waj the prison in which Hie captive was c "med. 7 Having arrived mere, lie desired jailer to take him at once into the prcas of thc prisoner, whom, in his exult?t i he wished to taunt ere he gave the or for his execution. "The two captors of thc felon are w him in hip cell," tho jailor said to the f bo. " They are endeavoring to extr from him some important intormation w regard to the bHnd." "Then place nie where I may overbi their conversation,",, returned the Kui " I wish my own: 'feers to drink in th revelations." Accordingly thc;Kubo was taken to ante-room adjoining'the cell in which t prisoner was confined where he could he all that passed without his presence bei even suspected. " We have condemned thee to a cn death, oh, my brother!' cried the eldest of t three, just as the Kubo had souled hinw to listen : "and I can never know alioth montent of happiness!"

Thus adjured, thc brothers, after tnt bracing end kissing thc vie;?rn ogam am again, took ?heir departure, secured th? reward, ami set forth for their wrctclut abode. Tho Kubo, curious to know what woulc happen further followed them. Having trucked them to their hovel thc Kubo stationed himself near a window where he might overhear all that pass?e within. " Whore is my youngest born ?" hi heard the mother ask-"where is thc child of my old age?" '? Be satisfied, motlier," returned the e ldest son-" he is well ; and see, here are provisions enough to keep us alive for a year, and money to buy moro when those are exhausted." And as he spoke he placed before his mother a sack of corn and a large sum of money. "Nay, but I am not satisfied, returned the old woman, with a look of apprehen sion ; " nor will I break my fast, though I die before your eyes, till I knuw where and under what circumstances you have left my aon." The brothers exchanged glances. They knew it would be impossible to induce tho mother to cat while matters remained un explained, and as gently aa he could tho elder broke to her the dread tidings. '. Hogs !" exclaimed, thc old woman with ihisjiing eyes, "and do yon know sc li;tie of ino-as to p*vposc that I would accept life at such n price ! May thc curso Boodha fall upon ye, and may ye never know peace again ! What ! have yo sac rificed my brave boy that ye might preservt my worthless life afew years longer ?

Miserable dogs, stand aside !" and with wild gesture the misera ble mother rushed from the hovel, only to encounter the Kubo on the threshold. To bc brief, thc |<ubp, touched by the sublime heroism of the son? and the devo tion of the mother, not only .?ot thc young est son nt liberty, nnt allowed tho family to ri til?n f;i?? ivwp.Kl^bi^ji had becngi'vcii thom for the oapturc ut ? buppuoeu outlaw. --<~~-?2>*ml-t. .5F4> A Baltimore workman lighted? match to discover the leak in a pas me tor.
