The following po um wat written by Fred.
W. Luring, while ho waa besieged by the In?
dians in the Valley of Death, and ia probably
the last relio ot his pen:
8 OHNE-A mountain camp on the Surra Ne?
vada. Jack washing clo(Jies,*sol?oquises:
Well, by Jove! Here's a handkerchief now,.
?Which, in washing my clothes, I find lying
near,
Decidedly feminine, too! Well, how
Gould that thing ever have crept in here?
ja-tv-bel; what is the other name?
By gracions, it must be Ia ab ol King;
And rid forgotten herl What a ahame!
She was really a lovely little thing.
Now ? remember-how could I forget!
The night when that handkerchief I took;
I wonder If she is married yet,
And if she still keeps that girlish look?
We eat on the beach-I believe it was Bye
E'en now I near how the wild surf sings
And we wer? alone-there waa nobody by.
And I said a great many preposterous
things.
And I pressed the handkerchief to my heart,
And swore to keep it forever and ever;
And-it not being lao?-she let it depart,
And I aworo that it should go from mo
never;
And I've kept my promise for all theao years;
Isabel. I am more faithful than you;
For, that you are married. I have my fears
But, when was a woman known to Be trne?
For yon havo forgotten mo quite, and I
Am wringing the suds from your handker?
chief,
Which neeme aa though it would never get
dry;
And it ia now my assured belief
That X eh all get married when thia trip's
through;
I shall make the heat huaband In the world,
Beoauae I am ever constant and and true
Witness thia rag on tho clothes-line curled.
By Jove! what's that? Why, Jim, old boy,
Wounded, and by a grizzly, you aay?
And you killed him! Goodl that ia oauae for
joy
Put him down hore, fellows, this sido of the
way.
Not fatal, but still I think you will find
That it is far from fun to he clawed ny a
bear.
Hero,bring na aome stuff his wounds to-bind;
Stay! Take that old handkerchief over
there!
AN INDIAN ROMANCE.-The Key West
Guardian, of the 9th, supplements the
tales of the romanoers with the following
narration :
Landed at Garry's Wharf, Wednesday
morning, a son of the famous Semin?lo
chief "Tiger Tail," in a frail oanoe,
loaded with pumpkins, fresh from the
Miami everglades, 150 miles distant from
Key West. The voyager paddled the
entire way over a rongh sea, single?
handed and alone, and dumped his
pumpkins at the precise point aimed at,
without shaking a feather in his cap as
the soion of an illustrious father, The
oanoe is twenty by three feet.
. . .
A prison chaplain wes lamenting the
want of success attending his ministry.
Of one man who had been condemned
to death, he said he had great hopes,
the priBonor having been moBt assiduous
in the study of a Bible he had given
him. The chaplain, after great exer?
tion, obtained a commutation of the
sentence. "I called to inform him of
my success. His gratitude know no
bonads; he said I was his preserver, hie
deliverer. 'And here,' he added, as he
grasped my hand in parting, 'here is
your Bible. I may as well return it to
you, for I hopo I shall never want it
again.' "
Au Irishman being annoyed by a
howling dog in the night, jumped ont
of bed to dislodge the offender. It was
in the month of January, and the snow
was three feet deep. Ho not returning,
his wife went out to see what was the
matter. There she found her husband
in his night snit, his teeth chattering,
and his Whole body almost paralyzed
with cold, holding the struggling dog by
the tail. "HonTy mother, Pat," said
she, "what wnd ye be after doing?"
"Hush," said he, "don't ye see? I'm
trying to fraze the d-d baste."
Mrs. Partington entered the office of
the Probate Judge, (called "Civilian,")
and inquired in her blandest tone: "Are
you the oivil villain?" "Do you wish to
insult me, madam?" said the judge.
"Yes," replied the amiable lady; "my
brother died detested, and left three in?
fidel children, and I'm to be their execu?
tioner; so I want to insult the civil villain
about it."
A "personal" in the London Times
rans thus: "His life not in danger. In?
stead of 'severe illness' read: 'Two rain?
bow colored eyes, caused by external un?
friendly influences."

1. Wheeler & Wilson's Sowing Machine is
muoh simpler than any of the others; re?
quiring less than half the amount of ma?

3. Aa the result of this simplicity, this ma?

3. Another result of this simplicity ia
greater durability.
4. Another result ia lesa friction, and, con?
sequently, greater eaaft and rapidity of mo?

5. And greatest of all, .that it uses no Shut- |

THIS COMPANY ollera tho following IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES to]
those about EFFECTING INSURANCE ON THEIR LIVES :
1. Ineuranco at Stock Rates, being from 20 to 30 per cent, less than the ratos charged by
I mutual companies.
2. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to the extent of one Annual Premium
on his Policy, sud will sharo in tho profits of thu Company to the same extont aa a Block
holder owning au equal amount or tho Capital Stock.
3. Every Polioy issued by the Company is uou-forfeitable, and contains a clausa stating ita
exact Surroudcr Yaluo.
Before Insuring your Life or accepting the Agency of any Company,
READ TH V. FOLLOWING I
A lengthened experience has demonstrated that tho ratos ot premium ordinarily chargod
by life insurance companies aro from twenty-five to thirty per cent, in excess of what aro
necessary for a safe and legitimate conduct of the business. In other words, carefully and
prudently-managed companies charging "mutual" rates havo been able to return to their
policy-holders from twenty-five to thirty per cent, of the amount charged for premiums.
When life iusuranoo companies wore first organizod, reliability of tho data upon whioh pre?
miums wore constructed had not undergone test of experience. It was thought, therefore,
no moro than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event,
meet all tho presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the business.
As long as the matter was involved in somodoubt.it was better to fix tho rate too high than
to incur tho risk of making it too low; because, in tho former case, the error could be easily
remedied, at least in part, by returning to tho policy-holders, at certain intervals, such por?
tion of the premium charged as was found necossaVy for tho purposes of the business and
tho complete security of thu company.
Experience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that theso rates aro excessive,
what possible excuso can there bo for maintaining them?
Availing themselves of this experience, the Directors and Managers of the Universal Life
Insurance Company, at its organization,; ndopted a scale of premiums in accordanco there?
with, and which has proved to be fair and ad?quate, and all that was necessary to meet the
requirements ol tho business. These premiums aro about twentv-tl ve per cent, lowor than
those charged by mutual companies.
lt also appeared, inasmuch as the rates so established were as near as could possibly bo
determined/utr rates, and not in excess of what insurance has proviously cost tho policy?
holders in mutual companies, that any profits arising from prudent management justly and
properly belonged to the stockholders of the company, for tho risk incurred by them in un?
dertaking the business.
Experience has shown that there aro sources of profit in tho practice of tho business which
theory will not admit of being considered us elements in tho calculation of the premiums.
These results form a saving in the mortality of the members of a company owing to tho me?
dical selection of good lives, a gaiu in interest ou the investments of the company over that
assumed in the calculation of its premiums, tho profits derivable from the lapsing and sur?
render of policies by thc members, and from other minor sources.
Profits from those souraes, in a company possessed of a capital of #200,000, and doing a fair
amount of business, would givo to the stockholders dividends largely iu excess ot what were
counted on by thu Directors of tho Universal at the time of itu organization. They have,
therefore,determined to divide among the pnlicv-lioldors of tho company a largo part of the
profits accruing from tho sources uatuod, all of which have heretofore boen divided among
tho stockholders.
Thu plan ndopted tor such division is as follows: Evory person who may hereafter insure
with the Universal will, for the purposes of division, ho treated as a stockholder to extent of
ono annual premium upon his policy; and iciii share in the profits of the Company to precisely
the same extent us a Stockholder omuiug an CauuA amount of the Capital Stock?
ily this system of insurauce, original with tho Universal, tho policy-holders secure tho fol?
lowing important advantages:
1. Insurance at thu regular "stock" rates, requiring a primary outlay of about twenty,to
thirty per cent. IPBU than that charged hy mutual companies, and which is equivalent to a
yearly "dividend" paid in advance of that uni' unt on mutual rites. This low cost ot insur?
ance is worthy of attontion. Since its organization, this company baa received in premiums
irom its policy-holders tho sum or $1,517,000. To effect the same amount of insurance in a
mutual company would havo oost them an initial outlay of $2,000,000. By allowing its policy?
holders to retain, iu their own possession, this excess of $183,000. the Universal has virtually
paid them a ''dividend" of $483,000. and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at tho end of ono
or moro j oars. It is impossible to lind nny example of a mutual company furnishing Insur?
ance at BO low a cost by returning to policy-holders an equal amount upon similar receipts.
2. Participation In tho legitimate profits of tho company, upon a plan which secures to the
policy-holders the same treatment which directors mid stockholders award to themselves.
This system of participation, in connection with tho low "stock" rates of premiums, must
necessarily secure to the policj-holders every possible advantage to bo derived from prudent
and careful management.
The low rates of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation, gnaranteo
to the policy-holder his insurance al a rate which is not in excessof thc cost in woll managed
unit ital companies: while, by the proposed plan of participation in what may bo considered
lim legitimate profits of tho business, tho cost will bo still further diminished. *
Thus by the combined advantages arising from low stock rato and participation in profits,
it is confidently believed tho UN1VEHSAL LIFE INSU SANCE COMPANY offers insurance
at its lowest practicable cost.
j>e- Those of tho existing policy-holdi rs who desire to participate in profits under tho new
plan can do so hy making application lo the head office, er to any agents of tho company.
The Company is in a sound financial condition.
