railroad train was running ,. hg at alm?at 'lightning ?pcod. A Wtti' waaJ^ja^ijiA and tho trainwafr??t^veryr?t?v Still tho conductor hoped to pass tho curve safely, Suddenly, a locomotive dashed into eight. In an instant, lhere was ? a ?.collision. :A shriek-r a shoe*-?nd filly pe^none were slaughtered; and all because au engineer had boen behind time. g The battle of Watorloo was being ibu g ht. Column after col? umn had Deon precipitated upon the enemy. The ann was sinking in the westy Keinforceuiients.ior the defenders were already in sight . 'ht was necessary to carry th? posi? tion with one final- charge. A powerful corps had been summoned from acrosa tue country. :.The great conqueror, confident of i?s ar^vsl, formed his reserve into an attacking column and led them down the hill The whole yrorlo knows the result. Napoleon u?ey a prisoner at St. Helena, because one of his Marshals was behind time. A condemned man was being-led out for execution. He had taken human life, but under circumstances of the greatest provocation. Thou? sands had signed a petition for a reprieve, still none had arrived. The last moment waa up. Tho prisoner took his place on the drop; it fell, and a lifeless body sw?ng in the . air. Just at this moment, a horseman came into eight, his steed covered with foam. He , boro a reprieve for the prisoner, bot he had come too late. A compara? tively innocent man had died an ignominious death, because a watch had been five minutes too slow, causing the bearer to arrive behind lime. . It is continually so in life. The best laid plans are .daily sacrificed, because they are "behind time." There are others who put ofl fefoftn ation year by year, till death seines them, and they were ever "bobi nd time.*' How TO MAKE MISCHIEF.-Keep your eye on your neighbors. Take care of them. Do not let them stir .without watching. They may do som0' thing wrong if you do. To bs Sure yon never knew them to dp anything very bad, but it may bo on your ac? count they have not. Perhaps if it had not been for your kind care, they might have disgraced themselves long time ago. Therefore do not relax .any effort to keep them where they ought to be. Never mind your own business; that will take care of itself. There is a man passing along-he is looking over the fence-bo suspicious of him; perhaps he contemplates stealing,1 one of these dark nights; there is no Know? ing what queer fanoies he may have got into his head. If you find any symptoms of any one passing put of the path cl duty, tell every one - else what you seo, and be partumlatt.ta see a great-many. , It is a good way to circulate -such things, though it moy not benefit your? self or any one else particularly. Do keep something going-silonco; is' a -dreadful thing; though it is said" thero was silence in heaven for the space of half an hour, do not let any such a thing occur on earth; it would bo too much for this mundane sphere. ,mm I Th A* ..NXQjfco's HEAD is LEVEL.- , Albert? an old XVth Amendment, was discoursing in Lawrence rille,"G/t., re? cently, upon the subject of negroes. The Atlas thus reports him: He "rose to 'splain .himself?' as fol? lows: "I des tell you, niggers is a gittin too big anyhow-da tinks demsolvcs good as white folks. D?rs my wife she:s done had four pair high-up gaiter shoes dis year, and now wants another 5air. It's qusre that being sot free ill make niggers such fools. Da used t'o think they was a doin' mighty well if they got ? pair of shoes by Christ? mas. I wish the last ono of them was put back in slavery for about fi,ve years ( to learn'em aomo sense. I'd be wil? ling to go back awhile myself, jes to see some of these bigoted niggers took down." "WASHING BLANKETS.-Now is the season for washing blankets, and not every housewife knows the best and easiest mode of washing them. Here is a plan that never fails, if strictly followed: Take one pint of soft soap, twp tablespoonfuls of powdered borax dissolved in boiling water; put this . mixture in a tub and fill half full of cold water; put in from two to three blankets-ss many as the water will wei! covert let them stand from twelve to twenty-four hours; squeeze and rub them thoroughly and pot them in a basket to drain (over another tub) without wringing; rinso in clear cold water and drain them again; i put a little blueing in for-a final rinse; drain and hang out without wringing; it will take longer for then to dry, but ;thoy ?will riot ah-rink. ?nt Ionic trhitn and smooth? Be sure and use cold water and not wring during the process. PBETTY GOOD.-It is said of the Rev. Mr. Cowan, it pastor, in German? town, Philadelphia, that soon after en? tering upon his charge, he asked for a collection in his congregation for the Sunday school. The collection was made, and amounted to eighteen dol? lars! The next Sunday he got tip find said: "I have an apology to make to the congregation. The collection for tho Sunday school last Sunday amounted to eighteen dollars. Had I been better acquainted among you, I would have omitted the collection, tnd would havo asked the Sunday school to take up a collection for the church." The Scientific Amcricar. explains the word car af? It is an imaginary weight expressing the proportion of puro gold in a mass of metal. An ounce of gold is divided Into twenty-four carats, and so gold of twenty-two carats Ano is gold of which twenty-two parts are pure, the other two parts being silver, copper or other metal. Carat is origi? nally the name of a bean which grows upon the carat-tree. This bean varies little in its weight, and from a remoto period has been used as a weight for Sold, goms and pearls in India and L?rica. Iv f HS GLJgANBR,. JOHN F. THOMAS, Chief Editor-.

When life insurance compm ic? were tiret organized, reliability ot tb? ? ?ta upon which pre nriurae were constructed had not undergone teat i-f experience It waa thought, therefore,no more than common prudence to adopt u renie of premiums ?hieb would, in auy eveut, meet all the presumed ano unforeseen contingenciea of thc bu alu caa. Aa loug aa tho matter wan involved in some doubt, it was better to tlx tho rate too high than to incur tho risk of makiDg it too low; because, io the former case, tho error could be eaaily remedied, at least in part, by returning to the policy-holders, at certain interTale, aucb portion of the premium chargi d as was found necessary (ur thc purposes ot the business and the complete security of the company. Experience, however, having aaliafacto ily demonstrated that there rate.i aro excessive, what possible excuse cati there bo for maintaining i IM mV Availing tbemaelvea of thia experience, tho Directors and Managers of the Universal Life Tnturar.ee Company, at ita organization, adopti il a tcalc ot pi cmium* iu accordance there? with, and which haa proven to be fair and adequate, and al) that was nee e-sary to moot the requirements of the tinniness. These premiums arc about twei?ty Ovo pei cent, lower than those charge by mutual conipaueia. It alec appeared, inasmuch as the rat CH so established were as nt-ur AB could poaaibly be determined fu ir ratea, and not in excess of what insurance IIBB previously cost the policy? holders In mutual companies, that any protita arisiug iron (prudent managt ment juetly and properly belonged to the stockholder's of the company, for the risk incurred by them in undertaking the husmees. Experience haa abown that there are sonre? s of profit in the pracUcn of thc business which theory will Dot admit of being considered aa eh ments in the calculation ol the premiums. Those reaulta form a saving ju the mortality of the nu ml ? rs til a ct mi ai.y cuing to ihe tue dioal aelection of good livea, a gain in interest on the invest MI nts cd the cc ni pa ny over that assumed in the calculation of its prtminina, the profits dei ivable from tho lansing abd sur? render of policies by the members, and from other minor souro s Profita from these sources, in a company possessed of a ca int a" of t200.000, and doing a fair amount of business, would give to the stockholders dividends largely tu exec-s of what were counted on by tho Directora "f the Universal at thc time of its organization. They have, therefore,determined to divide antoni/ thu policy-holders of tho company a large patt of the profita accruing from the s lurcea named, all ot which have heretofore beeu divided among the stockholders. The plan adopted for auch division ia an follows: Every pfcraon who may hereafter insure with the Universal will, for the purposes of division, he treated aa a stockholder to extent of one annual premium upon ht* policy; und tra/ share in the prcjils of the Ci-mpany to precisely the same citent as a Stockholder -.wning an equal amount ff ihe (.'apiial S'i ck By thia system of tnaniance, original with the Universal, the policy-holder secures the fol . wing important ad vantage*: 1.
