POETRY. The Day Dawneth. by mrs. elizabeth oakes smith. tip to the mountains of our God Ol? 1 weary pilgriln hie; With broken Btafl'y and feet unBhod, And half despairing cry. Ye only mark the uplifted rod. Ye only yield the aigh? Oh! faint of heart! lift up your eye?, Behold how breaks the day I Oh I deafoned years! along the skies The |oyous tabrets play; Awake, ye feeble souls urine; The Master calls away. Stoop down, dear I^ord! speak very low, Lest we, amid the noise Of maddening sin nnd weary woe, May hardly dare rejoice} May fail thy dulcet notes to know, Nor hear thy loving voice. Oh! foot-sore pilgrims! heed ye not The flinty path ye tread; The Muster's feet the path have wrought, The night duwn wet his head; Your sorrowing tears aie not forgot For He the like hath shed. Oh! feeble soul! depressed by fetfr, Behold how breakH the light; Trust the dear Lord, and ye shall hear The f? Ag? he gives at night; Though hang tho dark clouds ovor near, The lining still is bright.

Proper Soil, for the Culture of Turnips.?Sandy loams, in'good heart,, are most favorable to their growth, though they will thrive well on strong loams, if they aro not wot; but, on clay ey,.thin, or wet soils, thoy are not' \v"orth cultivating; for, though a good crop may be raised on such ground, when well pre pared ind dunged, in poaching the soil, tliau the value of the crop will repay. lTyou have occasion to transplant in the summer season, let it be in the even ing after the heat is past; plant and water the' same immediately, nnd there will be no danger from the heat next day; but be careful, in digg ing up the earth, you do not break any of the youug-shoots, us the sap will ex ude out of the same to the great danger of the plants.

The Better Policy.?If any "person would like to see demonstrated the ad vantages of raising corn, wheat, oats, &c, instead of cotton, he may find it in tho condition arid results of a farm where it it done/ We have marked it in several ad vantages, in the long run, or any run of twelve months, of grain crops over cotton. As clear a case as we have seen for several years is that of James F. Riley, of Upper St. Matthew's, on the South Carolina Railroad. He has about 100 acres of promising wl.e.itjand oats, bes'des corn and other kindred plantings, with stock around him, all in keeping with a grain ! kingdom. We say and pray that our farmers would raise provisions first, and in full, and then something more of the same sort > for the cotton men will want it, and unless they are lucky and liberal, their stock will suffer for it.?Christian Neighbor.

Every Policy issued by the Company i? non-forfcitable, and contains a Claiuc ?tutinu iu exact Surrender Value. IlEKone iNsrniNo Your Life on Accepting the Agency or asi Co.vrAxr READ THE FOLLOWING s A lengthened experience has demonstrated that the rates of Premium ordinarily charged by Life Insurance Companies are from twenty-live to thirty per cent, in excess of what arc riecest?ry for a safe and legitimate conduct of tiic business. In other words, carclully and prudently maii aged Companies charging "Mutual" nates have been able to return to thiir policy-holders ??in 2? to 30 per cent, of the amount charged for premiums. When Life Insurance Comparies were first organized, the reliability of the data upon whb*h the premiums were constructed had not undergone the test of experierce. It was thought, there fore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event, meet nil the presumed ami unforsccn contingencies of the business. As long as the matter was involved in some doubt, it was better to fix the rate too high than to incur the rick of making it too low; because, in the former case, the error could be easily reme died, at least in part, by returning to the policy-holders, at certain intervals, such portions of the premium charged as was found unnecessary for the purposes of the business and the complete security of the Company. Experience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that these rates aro excessive, what possible excuse can there lie for mnintaining them? Avuili'ng themselves of thin experience, the Directors and Manngen of the Uuirerml I.ifc In surance Company at its organization, adopted a scab: of premiums in accordanee therewith, and which has proved to be fair and adequate, and all that was necessary to meet the requirements of the business. These premiums are about twenty-five per cent, lower than those charged by Mu tual Companies. It also appeared, inasmuch ns the rates so established were as nenr as could possibly be deter mined fair rates, and not iu excess of what Insurince has previously cost the policy-holders in Mutual Companies, that any profits arising from prudent management justly and properly be longed to the stockholders of Ute Company, for die risk incurred by them in undertaking the business. Experience has shown that there are rourcea of profit in the practice of the business which tkcory will not admit of being considered as elements in the calculation of the premiums. These result fron? a saving in the mortality of '.he members of a Company owing to the medical selec tion of good lives, again in interest on the investments of the Company over that assumed in the calculation of its premiums, the profits derivable from the lapsing nnd surrender of Politic* by the members, and from other minor sources. Profits from these sources, in a company possessed of a capital of $200,000, and doing a fair amount of business, would give to the stockholders dividends largely in excess of what were counted on by the Directors of the Universal it the time of it? organization. They have, the re fore, determined to divide among the policy-holders of the Company a large part of the profits neertung from the sources named, all of which have heretofore been divided among the stock holders. The plan adepted for such dividends is a? follows: Every person who may hereafter issuro with the Universal will, for the purpose of division, he treated as a stockholder to the extent of one Annual Premium upon his Policy ; and will share in the profits of the Company to precisely the same ejetent us a Stockholder owing on equal amount of the capital stock: Hy this system of Insurance, original with the Universal, the policy-holder secures the follow ing important advantages: FniST. Insurance at the regular "Stork'* rates, requiring a primary outlay of about twenty to thirty per cent, less than that charged by Mutual Oompanie?, and which is equivalent to a yearly "dividend" paid in advance of that amount on mutual rates. This low cost of insurance is worthy of attention. Since its organization this company has received in premiums from ita policy-holders the sum of $1,517,000. To effect the same amount of insurance in a Mutual Com pany" would have cost them an initial outlay of $2,000,000. By allowing its policy-holders to re tain in their own possession this excesa of $483,000. the Universal has virtually paid them a "dividend" of $183,000, and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at the end of one or more years. It is impossible to find any example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance at so low a cost by returning to its policy-holders an equal amount upon similar receipts. Second. Participation in the legitimate profits of the Company, upon a plan which secures to Ms }wlicy-liolders the same treatment which Directors and Stockholders award to themsel?ee. This system of participation, in connection with the low "stock" rates of premium, most necessarily secure to Ihr policy-holders every advantage to be derived from prudent and careful management. The low rates of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee to the policy-holder his insurance at a rate which is not in excess of the cost in well managed mutual companiesr while, by the proposed plan of participation in what may be considered the legiti mute profits of the business, the cost will be still further diminished. Thus by the combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation In the profits it is confidently believed that tin* UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY oflora in surance at its lowest practicable cost. K?rThose of the existing Policy-holders who desire to participate in the Profits under the new Plan can do so by making replication to the Head Office, or to any of the Agents of the Com pany. The company is in a sourxl financial condition. Itatio of Asset* to Liabilities 140 to 100.
