INsURASCE.-The money article of the New York Independent contends that the New York Insurance Companies generally do not do business on sound principles that the mutual system ought to be adopt cit. It therf speaks as follows of the Con dnental Fire Insurance Company, of which MT. L. C. Segee is Agent in this City:
 The Company has recently, (lst Ju!y) re- solved that 1t will thenceforward give the hold CTS of the policies the right to participate in the profits of the business of the Company The stockholders after receiving the annual sum of seven per cent. for interest on their stock, comedies three-fourths of the then net profits to policy holders, for which scrip, bear
 ing interest of six per cent. per annum, and payable from time to time, as shall be found expcdient by the directors the principle be- ing adopted of letting the fund represented by such scrip accumulate to $500, ,0o0-thus doubling the capital of the company-which is $500, 900, and only dividing the surplus in payment of the principal of the scrip Here is double security to the insured for the pay ment of losses, the capital being doubed-a security to the stockholders, whose stock can not be touched while scrip fund exists, and source of advantage to the insured who will receive back portion of their premiums if they incur no losses, and powerful induce ment to persons of all classes to insure. This is sound principle to act upon, and the insti- tuition adopting it, is worthy of the most ex- tcnsive patronage.

What the Wind Says,

".Do you know what the December wind says, grandpa !' asked q little child at an old merchants knee.
 ( Mo, puss; what does it 2" he answered strokng her fa hair.
 Remember the poor grandpa : when it comes down the chimney, it roars, Rcmem- Der the poes;' when it puts it's great mouth to the key-hoe, it aehisties, 'Remen.b,r the poor when it strides through crack of he door, it rkispers it; and grandpa, when it blows your beautiful silver hair about in the steet, and you shiver aud button up your coat, does it not get at your car and say so too, ill a still small voice grandpa
 "Why, what does the child mean cried grandpa, who I alh afraid had been uscd to shut his heart agaiust such word;. " ! ou want new mrff and tippet. I reckon. A pretty way to get them out of yout old grand father"
 '' No. grandpa said the child earnestly shaking Ter head, q no ; it's the ao-muifand- tippet children I'm thinking Of; my mother el~ars remembers thcn,. and SO do try to-"
 After tie next storm the old merchant sent fifty dollars to tfc treasurer of a relief society and said, ''Call for more when you want it." The treasurer stared with surprise, for 1t was the first time he had ever collected more than dollar from him, and that, Inc thought, came gridgingly.
 "Why," said the rich merchant afterwards; could never get rid of that childs words ]: they stuck to me like glue"
 And little child shall lead thenl," says the Scripture. How many cold heart has melted, and the close heart opened by the sim pie earnestness and suggestive words of a child <!

TIE RETURNING ANSWERS, Hear the story of the child which went forth into the mountain ravine- Whilst the child wandered therc he called aloud 10 break the Loneliness and heard voice which called to him in the same tone He called again, and, as he thought, the voice again 1nockcd him. Flus' cd with anger, he rushed to find the boy who insuted him, but could find none. He then calls ou. to him in anger and with all abusive eptnets of which were returned to him. Choking with rage the child ran to his mother and complained that boy in the woods had abused and insulted him with nns- ny vile words But the mother took her child by the hand, and saii My child, these names were but the echoes of thine own voice. Whatever thou didst call was returned to thee from the hillside
 Hadst thou called out. pleasant words. pleasant words had been returned to thee Let this be thy. lesson through life. The world will be echoes of thine own spirit. Treat thy fellows with unkind- ness, and they will answer with unkindncss; with love and thou shalt have love- Send forth su1- shine from thy spirit, and thou shalt never have clouded day carry about Yindictive spirit ard even in the flowers shall Turk curses. Thou shalt receive ever what thou givest, and that alone - Always, said the speaker is that child in the noun tain passes-and every man and every woman is that child.

A shrewd Dutch trudesman very much preferred an order for sofas and chairs to an order for sideboards or tables Horse hair, he knew, was plentiful enough in England the duty upon tea, however, was excessive, and by an arrangement entered into with his English agent, it was understood that tea should be used. instead of hay or horse- hair, as the stufing of all cushions attached to furniture transmitted by his house.

Little Gretchen.

BY HANS cuRIsTIAN ANDERSON. Little Gretchen! little Gretchen.
 .Wsnderrs up and down the street; t. The snow is on her yellow hair, s1.a The frost is at her feet. E The rows of long dark houses Without look cold and damp, By the struggling of the moonbeam.
 By the flicker of the lamp. 3s- The clouds ride fast as horses, f.-.-... The wind is from the North, But no one cares for Gretchen,
 And no one looketh forth Within those dark, damp houses
 Arc merry faces bright And happy hearts are watching out
 The old years latest night. The board is spread with plenty
 Where the smiling kindred meet, But the frost is on the pavement,
 And.the bcggars in the street. With the little box of matches
 She could not sell all day, And the thin, thin tattcred mantle,
 The wind blowsevery way. She clingcth otthcn1iling .--...-.... She shivers in the gloonl-- There arc parents sitting snugly
 By hrciight in the room. And groups of busy children Withdrawing just tine tips Of rosy nnyers pressed in vain
 Against their rosy lips ..- - With grave and earnest faces ..s Are whispering to each other ..t - .Of presents for the New Year, made s.- -.r For father or for mother. But nc ono talks to Gretchen,
 And no me hears her speak; No breath of little whspercrs Comes warmly to her check; .. Nolitfle arms are round her;
 An mel that there should bc, With so much happiness on e"r'h' .... So much of misery Sure they of many blessings Should scatter blessings round, ,Aslsden boughs in Autumn fling Their ripe fruit to tho ground.
