POETRY. Tho Day Dawneth. BY MRU, ELIZABETH OAK ES SM1TU. Vp to the mountains of our Got! Oil 1 weary pilgrim hie; With broken eta (1) and feet unshod, And half despairing cry. Ye only mark tho uplifted rod. Ye only yield the sigh* Oh! faint of heart! lift up your eyes, Behold how breaks the day! Oh ! deafoned years! along the skies The joyous tabrets play; Awake, ye feeble souls arise; The Master calls away. Stoop down, dear Lord ! speak very low, Lest wc, amid the noise Of maddening sin and weary woe, May hardly dare rejoice; May fail thy dulcet notes to know, Nor hear thy loving voice. Oh I foot-sore pilgrims! heed ye not Tho flinty path ye trend; The Master's feet the path have wrought", The night dews wet his head; Your sorrowing tears aie not forgot For He the like hath shed. Oh I feeble soul! depressed by feaff, Behold how breaks the light; Trust the dear Lord, and ye shall hear The si ngi he gives at night; Though hang tho dark clouds over near, The lining still is bright.

Seeds of plants may lie preserved,- for many months at lenst, by causing then* to bo packed, either in husks, puds, &c, in absorbent paper, with raisins or brown moist sugar or, a good Way,- practised by gardeners, is to wrap tho seed in brown paper or cartridge paper, pasted down,.and-then varnished over. WhateVer'raay be the nature of the soil, or of tho crop cultivated, it should always be the aim of tho farmer to grow full crops. Partial and sometimes ex tensiv? failures will even then but too often' occur ;' but to? neglect making the best known preparations,-or only to pre pare for half a crop, has a direct ten dency to unprofitable farming. Proper.

The Better Policy.?If nny "person would like to see demonstrated the ad vantages of raising corn, wheat; oats, &c., instead of cotton, ho may find* it in the condition afld results of a farm where it is done/ We have marked it in several ad vantages, in the long run, or any. run of twelve months, of gritin crops over cotton. As clear a case as we have seen for several years is that of James F. Itiley, of Upper St. Matthew's, on tho South Carolina Railroad. He has about 100 acres of promising wl.c.itjnnd 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 stoek will suffer for it.?Christian Neighbor.

Every Policy tamed by the Company i* non-forfcitable, and contains a Clause Mat im: it* exact Surrender Value. Before Insuring Your Like or Acoeftino the Agency of ant Co.vrAxr READ THE FOXiXiOWXNG : A lengthened experience has demonstrated thai the raten of Premium qrdinarily charged by I Life Insurance Companies are from twenty-five to thirty per cent, in excess of what ate dc-t-csvajry for a safe and legitimate conduct of the business. In other word*, carefully and prudently man* aged Companies charging "Mutual" rates have been able to return to ihiir policy-holders torn ' 2? to 30 per cent, of the amount charged for premiums. When Life Insurance Com paries were first organized, the reliability of the data upon whi??h the premiums were constructed bad not undergone the teat of experience. It was thought, there fore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event, meet all the presumed and unforsccn contingencies of the business'. As long as the matter was involved in some doubt, it wiu better to fix the rate too high than to incur the risk of making it too low; because, in the former case, the error could be easily reme dial, at lean 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 tlie.se rates arc excessive, what possible excuse can there be for maintaining them? Availing themselves of this experience, tne Directors and Managers of the Universal Life In surance Company nt'its organization, adopted a scab: of premiums in accordance 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 near as could possibly be deter mined Anr rates, and not in excess of what Insurutce has. previously cost the policy-holder** in Mutual Companies, that any profits arising from prudent management justly and properly be longed to the stockholders of tlie Company, for the risk incurred by them in undertaking the business. Experience has shown that there arc sources of profit in the practice of the business which theory will not admit of being considered as elements in the calculation of thepremiums. These result from a saving in the mortality of die members of a Company owing to the medical scleo tion of good lives, a gain in interest on the investments of the Company over that assumed in the calculation of its premiums, the profits deiivable from the lapsing and surrender of Polities by the members, and front other minor sources. Profits from these sources, in a company possessed of a capital of $200,000, and doing a fai amount of business, would give U? the stockholders dividends largely in excess of what were counted on by tho Directors of the Universal ?t the time of iu? organization. They have, there fore, determined to divide among the policy holders of the Company a large part of the profits accruing from the sources named, all of which have heretofore been divided among the stock holders. The plan adopted for such dividends is as follows: Every person who may horeafter issnro with tho Universal will, for the purpose of division, be 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 as a Stockholder owing on equal amount of the capital stock. By this system of Insurance, original with the Universal, the policy-holder secures the follow ing important advantages: First. Insurance at the regular "Sto:k,, rates, requiring a primary outlay of about twenty to thirty per cent, less (lain that charged by Mutual Companies, and which is equivalent to it yearly "dividend" paid in advance of that amount on mutual rates. This low cost of insurance is worthy of attention. Hince its organization this company has received in premiums from its )>olicy-holders the sura 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 pol icy-holders to re tain in their own possession this excess of $183,000, tho Universal has virtually paid them a "dividend" of $483,000, and paid it, too, in adixtnee, instead of at the end ef 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 Compauy, upon a plan which secures to the policy-holders the same treatment which Directors and Stockholders award to uiemtelves. Iltis system of participation, in connection with the low "stock" rates of premium, most necessarily secure to the 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 Iiis insurance at a rate which is not in excess of the cost in wtll managed mutual eompaniesr while, by the proposed phut of participation in what may be considered the legiti mate profits of the business, tho cost will be still further diminished. , & Thus by tlie combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in the profit* it is confidently believed that tWe UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY oners in surance at its lowest practicable cost. ? ( |QrThoM of the existing Policy-holders wWo desire to participate in the Profits under the new Plan can do so by making p.pplication to the Head Office, or to Any of tho Agent* of the Com? pany* I The company is in a sour.d financial condition.
