There is many a IOHO in the road of lifo, If we would Btou to talcs it; And many a tone from the bettor land. If tho qu.oru.louB heart would make it; To (ha Bonny BOUI that is foll of hopo, Arid whoso beautiful trust ne'er fail otb. The grass ia green and tho flowers aro bright, Though thu winter storm prevaileth. Bettor to hope, though olonds hang low, And koop tho ovos still lifted, For the a wont blue sky will still peep through, . When the ominnns cloud u are rifted. There was never a night without a day, Or an evening without a morning. And tho darkest hour, so tho proverb goes, Ia the hour beforo tho dawning. There ia many a pom in the path of life, Wbioh.we pass in our idle pleasure, That iu richer fur than the j o wo led crown, Or the miser's hoarded tioasnre; It may bo tho lovo of a little ebild, Ora mother's prayer t? Heaven, Or only, a beggar s grateful thanks For a cop of watur given. Better to weave in the web of life A bright and golden filling. And do God's work with a ready heart, And hands that are prompt and willing. Than to enan tho delicate, minute threads Of our curious li voe asunder, And then blame Heaven for the tangled ondB, And sit, and grievo, and wonder. As the rains are gradually being oleared away, the extent of the losses by the Ohioago fire and the exaot ooodition of .flairs in that city at the present time can be estimated with approximate correct? ness. From a statement in the Ohioago IVibune, we gather the faots that over 50,000 persons have left the city, making the remaining population about 280,000; one-half of the stook of pork products was consumed; 1,600,000 of the 5,000, 000 bushels of grain were barned; and ?boat oue-flfth of the lamber, one qaaxter of the leather, oae-half of the coal, and the greater portion of the gro? ceries, dry goods and boots and shoes were also destroyed. A careful average of the larger items shows that the oity hos Buffered a loss of not less than twenty nor more than twenty-five per cent, on her total assets-real and per? sonal. The ratio of inorease daring the past thirty-four years has averuged ten and a half per cent, per annum. This rate would restore tho status of a month ago, within three years. Making every doe allowunce for tho terrible set-baok experienced, the Tribune thinks there can be no donbt that five years hence, at most, the exhibit of population, wealth, commerce and c^m au u factures will be greater than a month ago.

THE UNIVERSAL LIFE inmin^HKekiiiTiiTi I he Original Stock Life Insurance Company of the United States. OFFICERS: WILLIAM WALKER, President. HENRY J. FURBER, Vice-Prceidtnt. JOHN II. BEWLEY, Secretary. GEORGE L. MONTAGUE, Actuary. E. W. LAMBERT, M. D., Medical Examiner. -O THIS COMPANY offers the following IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES to those about EFFECTING INSURANCE ON THEIR LIVES: 1. Insurance at Stock Bat cs, being from 20 to 30 per cent, lcea than the rates oharged by mutual companies. 2. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to the extent of ono Annual Premium on hiB Policy, and will share in the Profits of tho Company to the a arno extent aa a Stock hold? r owning an equal amount of tho Capital Stock. 3. Every Policy isauea hy the Company is non-forfeit able, and containa a Iclanae stating its exact Surrender Value. Before Insuring your Life or accepting the Agency of any Company, RKADTHK FOLLOWtl?Gt A lengthened experience baa demonstrated that the rates of premium ordinarily charged by life insurance companies are from twenty-live to thirty per cent, in excess of what are ne? cessary for a safe and legitimate conduct of tho bnsiuesa. In other words, catt tully and prudently-n>anagcd companies charging "mutual" rates havo been able to roturu to their policy-holders from 25 io 30 per ccut. ot tho amount charged for premiums. When life iusui anco companioa were first organized, reliability of the data upon which pre? miums wcro constructed had not undergone test of experienco. lt waa thought, therefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a u nie of premiums which would, in any event, meet all thu presumed and unforeseen coutingeiicit s of tho husmees. As long as tho mattel waa involved in some doubt, it was better to fix the rato too high than to incur tho risk of mak? ing it too low; because, in the former caso, tho error could be easily nm mied, ut least in part, by returning to llie policy-holders, ut certain intervals, euch non iou of tbo premium charged aa waa found necessary ter the purposes of the bunine es and the completo Becority of the company. Experienco, however, having aatisf?cto i!> demonstrates! that thete rates ure excesaive, what pnssiblo excuse can there lie for maintaining them? Availing themselves of this experience, the Directors and Managers of the Universal Lifo Insurance Company, at its organization, adnpd d a feculo of premiums in accordance there? with, and which has provea to ho fait and adequate, mid all that was necessary to meet the requirements of tho burmese. These picminuis are about twenty-five per cent, lower than thurn charge hy mutual compam-is. It albo appeared, inasmuch as tho ra?ca ao established were as near BB could possibly be determined fair rates, and not in e xcess of what inturasco has previously co?-t tho policy-holders in mutual companies, that any profita arihing 1 rom inud.-nt manage me nt justly and properly belonged to the stockholders of tho company, for the riak incurred by them in undertaking the business. Experience bas shown that there are eunices of profit in the practice of the business which theory will not admit of being considered as eh menta in the calculation of the premiums. These resnlt? form a saving in tho mortality of the mimbi rs of a company owing to ike me? dical sehet ?on of good liv* a, a gain in interest on the invetlnu nts of the cc-mpany over that assumed in the calculation of its premiums, the profita dciivablo from the lapsing nnd enr render of policies by tho numbers, and ft om otb? r minor sonre? s. Profits from theae eourcca. in a company potscFsod cf a capita* et $200 CW), and doing a fair amount of business, would give to tho stockholders dividends largely in excess of what wcro counted on by tho Directors <>f tho Universal at the timo of ita organization. They have, therefore, determine d to divido among tho policy-holde rs of ibo company a largo p&it of tho profits accruing from tho sources named, all of which have heretofore been divided among the stockholders. Tho plan adopted for snob divinion is as follows: Every person who may hereafter ineuro with tho Universal will, for tho purposes of division, be treated aa a stockholder to extent *>f ono annual premium upon his policy; and will share in the profits of tho company to precisely samo extent aa a stockholder owning au i qual amount of tho oapila) stock. By this system of inauranco, original with tho Universal, the policy-holder secure3 tho fol? lowing important advantages: 1. Insurance at tho regular "stock" rates, requiring a primary outlay of about twenty to thirty per cent. Iras than that chiugod by mutual companies, and which is equivalent to a yearly "dividend" paid in dvanco of that amount on mutual rates. Thia low cost of insur? ance la worthy of attention.
