Speak Gently. Speak kindly, gently to thy wife, She knows enough of sorrow; O, scik not from each petty ill, An angry word to ho'rrow. For in her heart There's treusurcdl ove; Oh, prize its gohlen worth; One gentle word, one smile of thine, \'an ever ?-all it forth. When thou art harsh, and stern anil cold, And from thine own dear home The sunshine of domestic love In sorrow Hecks to roam, Upon her heart thy cold words fall And chill life's tender life; Then, oh,amidst thy trials all, SjH'.ik kindly to thv wife. Speak softly, kindly to thy wife; She may have left a home Of cherished love, ami to thine own Hut scarce as far have come, Though live or ten have told the time, And thou hast shared its strife? Whene'er thy loot-ti ps homeward turn, Speak kindly to thy wilt. :fahm and lMinisini:. ? ?-. ? __ _ _. zl When euttle arc kept out in the winter, it is recommended ns u useful practice to rub sonm tar nt the root of the horn, which prevents the wet IVoin getting between the root and the j>kin, and it is said, contributes to preserve the health of the uninml, and to keep it tree from various diseases to which it )naj*aitlu:rwise bo liable.

V "V Ilr.i-'oitK IxsukiMi Ynvri Lirn on Acckitixu tiik A<;knc\ ?>k ant Comiwny RHAB THE FOLLOWING ? A lengthened experience has demonstrated that the rates of Premium 'ordinarily charged by Life Insurance Companies are from tw enty-live to thirty per cent, ill excessot what arc ueces-ary for a safetaud fe-.u.mimic conduct of the business. In othi r words, carefully and prudently man aged Companies charging "Menial'' rates have been aide to return to their ^oJiey.-hybleis fiom '!?> to IJU p< r cent, of the amount charged for premiums. When Life Insurance Companies were first organized, the reliability of the data upon which the premiums were constructed had not undergone the le.-t of ctfpcriei.ev. It \v.-is thought, there fore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which wouiil, in any event, meet all the presumed and iinforseeu contingencies of the husiiiw. A- long as nie matter was involved in some doubt, it was hotter to fix the rate too high than to incur tho lisi; of making it too low; because, in the former case, the error could be citsuy reim elieel, at lea.-i in part, by returning to the policy-holder.*, at certain intervals, hitch portions ot the premium charged as was found unnecessary for the purposes of the business and the c omplete security ot the e out jinny. Experience, however, having satisfactorily demonslratetl that ^husc^ rates, sUc excessive, what [io-.-ili.e excuse can there be for maintaining them ? ' ""' ' * ? Availing themselves of this experience, tho Directors and. Manager, of the 1'nhimil Life, lu ?uruucelSintptiny at.its organization,' nib^ifeiffWscwK bf premiums in accordance ihe ic.wkh, and which loisjirovi"d to be fair and adequate, and all that was neei^sary to meet-die uepiire incuts of the hi:-in??-CT fi'iicre i^on'iiuin.f ?reralkait twbniy-fivc per cent, lower than those charged by .Mu tual Companies. It ai-o appeared, inasmuch ns the rates so established weiv as near ns eouhl possibly be titter ininetl/oiV rates, and not in excess ot what Insurance has previously cost the poiie-y-hohie-rs in Mutual torn pan ies, that any, prolits arising from prudent management justly ami properly In longed to the stockholders oi the Company, tor the risk incurred by them in undertaking the business. " Experience has shown that there are sources of profit in the pntrtiec of the business which theory will not admit of being considered as e lements in the cnlcelaiiou of the premiums. These result from a saving in the mortality of the- members of a Company owing to the niedie-al selec tion of good lives) again iii interest on the investments of the Company over that assumed hi the calculation ol its premium*, the profits derivable from the lapsing and suirviulcr of Polieies by the members, and from other minor source*. \ Profus from these- sources, i.i a enmpnny possessed of a capital eif S200,0i!0,\\\tl eloing a fair amount of hu.-iiie-ss, woithl give to the stock holders dividends largely in exeeies ol what wctv counted on by the Directors of the Universal tit the time nt its organization. TUoy have-, the re - fore-, determined to divide among the pblie-V-holili. rs of the Company a large- part of the profus accruing from the sources named, all of which have heretofore been divided ajmu.g die mlmJ> holdcrs. \t il A )1 SI *? ? The plan adopted for such dividends is as follows: Every person who may hereafter issiire with the Unircreul wio, lor the one Ammnl Premium upon Minie erirnt <?.-? ri .^.m ki.ntn.r tucilty ??? npnd itaiuunt uf the capital rii*-k. lie ibis system of lu-urauce, original with ihe- Xjnitrrimd, the policy-holder sce-iues the follow ing important advantage's: eins.. liMirtuir.e ui the reydar ".SVorit" rittet, rrtjuirir.y tt urimnry outlay of about titenty In thirty per cent, let* than that rviriyo?! ey Jlntuul (.b/iip?iNiV?, ami which i? otutiyiileiU to a yearly "mvideud" ?Mtid in aelvanee e>f that am....n; oil inuuiai i.iu>. This low ?-o.-i of ilisurtOicu is worthy ot attention. Since ii- organization this company h:et re?4!-lv\il in prembnuH from its pulicy-Jiohlers ilie sum of Sl,ol7,tH>0. To effect the same amount ol insurance in a Minimi Com pany would haw- e-ost them an initial outlay of S*i,000,0Ot>. Ity allowing its police -l.oldeis lo IV taiu in iheir own possession this exce-.-s of $lStt,000, the Universal Iuik virtually paid lliefii u "dividend" ol $-lij.;,UU0, and paid it, too, in unnonv, iiistead of Ul the tfuUnt OIlU or more yiaiv. It is iiujHtssible to timl any example of a Mutual company Punishing insurance at so low a cost by returning in ils poIiey-lieildeiN an ispial aaioiiiu upon similar receipts, SkcoXI). 1'iietieipAitioii in the leyitiiwute, profit* oj the f.huiptiuA, i#j?>n n pliin which trenn* to the poliry-hiililcr* tin fame treatment irhich I)\<e, tur* mot StueL'iotan-Ji loctud In tla:i:i4el\ci>i 'J^'his s\>litn of parlicipaliein, in e-emiicclion with the law "rteK-k" rale-s of preniillin, most l^<rc^?^*;ll?tly ?reine- lo !/,,? ihtiicij'i.oldern every advantage lo be derived from prudent ami ill refill manngeineni.
