- A MODERN JOB.--A -certain gbod-nu
tnred old Vermont ffirmer preserved bis j
con g taut good 'un turo, let what would
tura' up... Ono day,.ono of bia men came
in, .bringing, tho netos that ono of bis red j
oxen was dead.
"Is ho?" said the old man.
"Well, ho' was' always a-breecby ousa.
Toke bia bide off, and carry it down to |
Fletcher's; it will fetch the cash."
An hoar or BO afterward, tho men
came back with tbe news' that Jjinebuok
nud his mate were both dead.
- "Aro they?" said tho old man.
,cWell,T took them of B. to save a bad
debt that I never expected to get. It is
lucky that it ain't the brindles.-'
After tbe lapse of another hour, the I
men dame bapk again to tell bim that tho |
nigh brindle was dead. '
: "Is he7," said tbe old man.
"Well, he was a very old ox; take off
his hide and take it down to Fletcher's;
it's worth'casbi''and will bring more than
any two.of tue others."
Hereupon bis wife, who was a very
pious soul, reprimanded her husband
severely, nud asked him if he wus not |
aware that his loss wan judgment from
Heaven upon bim for his wickedness.
"Is it?" said the old man. "Well, if
they will tako the judginunt in cattle, it
is the easiest way I can pay it."

Josh Billings says. "Most men will |
concede that-it looks fooliah to see a boy
drnggin* a heavy sled up hill for the
Hoot in' pleasure of ridin' down again.
Bat it appears to me that the boy is a
sage by.the side of a vonng man who
works hard all tho week, and drinks up
his wages on Saturday night."

AFEW reasons why they should have the
preference over all others:
1. Wheeler A Wilson's Sewing Machine ?B
much simpler than any of the others; re?
quiring lees than half*the amount of ma?
chinery.
2. Aa tho result of thia simplicity, this ma?
chino is much lees liable than tbo others to
get out of repair.
3. Another reenlt of thia simplicity is
greater durability.
i. Another result ia leas friction, and, con
aequently, greater easo and rapidity of mo
tiou, with leuB noise.
5. Aud greatest of all, that it uses no Shut?
tle, and makes the lock stitch.
It ia the cboapeat to buy Ibo beat. Buy thc
machino that bas justly, fairly and honora?
bly won a reputation and independence
against a strong and bitter competition. For
more than twenty years baa the Wheeler A
Wilson not only stood first and foremost, but
now stands tho umivallcd Sewing Machino ol
tho enlightened civilized world. Buy tho ma?
chino that baa boen Ilma teated and proved,
and then you aro suro to get tho best. For 1

THIS COMPANY ?fters tho following IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES to those
about EFFECTING INSURANCE ON THEIR LIVES:
1. Insurance at Stock Ratea, being from 20 to SO per cent, loss than the rates charged hy
mutual companies.
2. Each Policy-holder ia regarded an a Stockholder to the extent of ono Annual Premium
on Ilia Policy, and will whare in the ProtltH of thc Company to the sams extent SB a (Stock?
holder owning an equal amount of the Capital "Stock.
S. Every Policy ieuue? by the Company ia nou-forfcitablc, and contains a ?clause ?tating ita
exact Surrender Value.
Before. Insuring your Life or accepting the Agency rf any Company,
READ TI11C FOLLOWING!
A lengthened experience has demonstrate d that tho rates of premium ordinarily charged
by life insurance companies are from twenty-five to ihirty per cent, in exceaa ol what are ne?
cessary fur a eafe and legitimate conduct of tho bnsineaa. In other words, carefully and
pind?n I ly-managed companies chai ging "mutual" rates hnvo been able to return to their
pOllcy-holdors from 25 to 30 per cent, of the amount charged for premiums.
When life immiance companies were lirai organized, reliability of tho data upon which pre?
miums were constructed had not undergone test of experienco. lt was thonght, therefore, no
more than common prudence to adopt a seule of premiums which would, in any event, meet
ull the presumed ami unforeseen cotitingencii a of thc buainess. Aa long as tho matter was
involved in some doubt, it waa better to lix tho rate too high than to incnr tho risk of mak?
ing it too low; because, in the former cute, tho error could bc easily remedied, at least in
part, by returning to (lie policy-holders, at certain intervals, such portion of the premium
charged HM was lound necessary tor the purpose* of tho bushiest* und the complete security
ol tho company. Experience, however, having talislacto ily dimnnstratc.il that these rates
are exce ssive, what possible excuse can there be tor maintaining them?
Availing themselves of thia experience, the Directors and Manage r? of tho Universal Life
Insurance Company, at ita organization, adopted a scale of premiums in accordance there?
with, ami which luis proved to be fait and nih qua te, and all that was necessary to meet the
requirements of the business. 'J hese premium* are about twenty five per cent, lower than
those charge by mutual compon?is, lt also appeared, inasmuch as the rates so established
were as m ur au eon Iel possibly be determined lair rate?, and not in excess of what insurance
Imai previously..cost the;policy-holders in mutual eompunies, that any profits arising from
mmh nt mulingi ment justly and properly belonged to the stockholders Of tho company, for
the- risk iltcuired by the m in undertaking the business.
Expel ii nee has Shown thal there nie som Ct s of profit iii tho pm cl ico of tho business which
theory nill not admit ot being considered a? eh ni cit ts in the calculation ol the premiums.
The se results form a saving in the mortality of the membi rs of a rem i any owing to the me?
dical selection o? good lives, a gain in interest on the investments nt tho company over that
assumed in the. calcul?t inn ot ita premiums, the-profits derivable from tho lapsing and sur?
render of policies by tho members, and fi om cn he r minor sources. Profits from these Bources,
in a company possessed of a capita' ot i2?i? OOO, and doing a fair amount of nu sin ess, would
give to the stockholders divide nels largely in cxices of what were counted on by tho Directors
of tho ll ni ve i sal at tho time of its organization. They have, theretore. determined To divide
among tho policy-holders of the company a litige part of the profita accruing from the
sources named, al) ni which have heretplore beni divided among tho stockholders.
The plan adopted for such divinion ia as follow*: Every person who may hereafter insure
with tho Universal will, for tho purposes of division, bo treated as a stockholder to extent ef
ono annual premium upon his policy; and will share in tho profits of the company to precisely
samo e xtent as a stockholder owning an equal amount of tne oapital Block.
By thia system of insurance, original with the Universal, tho policy-holder secures the fol?
lowing important advantages:
1. lnsnrance at the regular "stock" ratea, requiring a primary outlay of about twenty to
thirty per cent, lesa than that chatged by mutual companies, and which Ie equivalent to?
yearly "dividend" paid in dvanco of Unit a mount on mutual rates. This low cost of insur?
ance is worthy of attention. Since its orgniiizalion. this company ba? reoeiv?d in premiums
from its policy-holders the sum ot $1.517 OOO. To e ffect the paniei amount of insurance in a
mutual complin v would have coat them au initial outlay of'?2 000.000 By allowing ito policy?
holders to retain, in their own possession, this excess of f483,000,"tho Universal has virtually
paid them a "dividend" of f483 000 and paid it, too, In advance, instead of at the end of ono
or more years. It is impossible to find any example cf a mutual company furnishing insur?
ance at so low a coat by reluming to policy-holders ancqnal.amount upon similar receipts.
' 2 Participation in the legitimate profits of tko company, npe.il a plan which secures to the
policy-holders tho same tre atment which directors and etockholdera award to themselves;
This system o? participation, in coi neetion nilli tho low "stock" rates of premiums, must
necessarily secure to the policy-boldois every possible advantage to be derived from prudent
and careful management.
The low rate? of premium con pel economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee
to the pobcv-holder his insurance at a rale which is not in excess o? tho cost in well managed
mutual companies; whilo, bv the proposed plan of p-artloipation in what may be considered
tho legitimate profits of tho business, tho coat will bo ?tili further diminished.
i hus bv the combined advantagea arising from low stock rate and participation in profits,
it is confi 'cntly behoved the Universal Life Inauiance Company offerB insurance at its IOWCBC
practicable coat.
ThoBO of the existing policyholders who deelro to purticipalo in the profits under the new
plau can do so by making application to the head ellice, or to anv agentsof the company.
The company is in a sound financial condition. Ratio of aaaota to liabilities 186 to 100.
Good reliable agente wanted, who will deal diicct with the New York ofneo, and to whom,
full general agente'commiesionB will bo paid. - " __,
