INSURE YOUR LIVES.

q POLICY OF LIFE INSURANCE Is
n THE CHEAPEST AND SAFEST
MODE of making certain provision for
ones family.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN:
Nothing is so uncertain as life.
No provision is perfect that is contingent
upon the duration of your life, which is not
immediate.
The only IMMEDIATE provision is that
provided by LIFE INSURANCE.
1t provides SECURITY to the family
OF every man engaged in business.
1t is a species of property that costs
nothing but the premiums; it requires no
repairs, has no taxes, calls for no oxtlays,
and its conditions do not change.

THE ICEBERG.
icONTINUED.1 1

II don't know how it was, but I
never could feel to dislike him-not
when I knew all about it; and I don't
believe, now, he meant to act the
villain and leave her. AS he said, if
it hadn't been for the drink, he
might have been alive and happy
now. It's bad thing for man not
to be able to regulate his drink;
causes him lots of misfortunes.
Chaps like him ought to leave it off
altogether; still it's hard thing to
see fellows jolly, and not join; makes
fellow feel like wet blanket to his
mates they're so jolly and merry,
and he drinking his lemonade or
water. It's rather hard, I should
think
"The boy, he kept on saying, "A
sail! A sallr He was gone cranky,
you see-didn't know where he was,
and weak as an infant-couldn' eat;
SO I was obliged to boil the seal-beef
and give him the gravy by spoonfuls.
Just like child he, was, and, when
he hadn't got the spoon to his lips,
kept saying, "A sail! A saiI' as if he
hadn't said it five hundred times
before
cit was hard work, for was get
ting weak, and so sore round the
waist, ankles and neck, I could hardly
bear to move; and you see I couldn't
let Sands lie there right in the boys
sight, so I took him round to the
other side. It took me about three
hours to get him there. 1 might
have thrown him off altogether, but
didn't want any suspicion of foul
play, and there might have been if
he'd been missing when we were
found.
''This l carried on for some five
days or so-eating and feeding the
boy was all I could do.
II let the lamps alone, for 1 was
too bad to get to trim them, and lay
all day in sort of stupid fit, half
asleep-haf not
cit kept getting hotter overhead
frighten one to see how the ice melt
ed, pouring down in streams like
waterfall all day and all night. I
could almost tell the time OF day by
the sound of the falling water. Mid
day 1t was regular roar, and then
about three or four o'clock in the
morning it was almost still. You
could almost. see it melt. Two or
three days after this the boy still
kept muttering, "A sail! A sal!' I
began to get dizzy and queer-like-
couldn't see now and then. I
thought it would soon be all up with
me.
p cat last I seemed to grow blind
couldn't open my eyes nor move at
all Still could tell itwas getting
towards evening, for the sound of the
falwas less; but couldn't move to
give the boy anything nor to get
anything myself; indeed I didn't
seem to care about it, nor about him
neither, for that matter.
81 wasn't in pain-rather the
other; very pleasant sort of feeling,
for 1 was lying on Sands coat and
my own. Then I fell asleep.

as a condition of reciprocal trade. Hence, the
declared Willingness OF Canada ITO make her
patent laws similar to those of the United Statss"
is a noticeable feature of the overtures submit
ted to the Congressional Committee.
With regard to the ishenes and the naviga-
ton of the internal waters, no change is pro
however affords ground for the hope that in the
adjustment Of the canal tolls, the virtual dis
elimination of late years employed against our
lake shipping will be abandoned. At any rate
this is point to be remembered, and il Is not
one on which we are likely to encounter for
midable difficulties.
To the great West, with its rapidly growing
population and trade and its varied and mex.
haustible resources, the readiness OF the pro-
vince to undertake the enlargement OF its canals
with the view of ahoroing more perfect access
to the ocean, is of the very highest Importance.
The recent utterances of the citizens of st. Paul
and the opinions expressed by the merchants
and Influential journals OF Chicago, invest this
proposition of the delegates with unusual in
teIest.
Altogether, then, the memorandum is calcu-
lated TO impress most tavorably the minds of
our people. 1t evinces fairness and breadth of
view for which, in the beginning, we were not
inclined to give the delegates credit. it is proof
of an anxiety to establish trade on satisfactory
foundation. And we apprehend that in its gene
raj scope it will command the approval Of the
great majority OF our liberal politicians. The
ultra pTotectiOnist who would a build Chinese
wall OF prohlbltory duties around the country
will OF course oppose this or any similar scheme,
TO him every thing is obnoxious which clashes
with the plotectionist theory. He desires pro-
hibitory duties for the benefit OF special inte-
rests, and has no liking for reciprocity on equal
terms
1t is TO be regretted that the strength of the
protectionist interest in the Committee of Ways
and Means has for the time put an end to these
negotiations. or the counter plan presented by
the Committee, VIC shall speak more critically
on another day. For the present we win but
remark that it wears the appearance of having
been intended to render negotiation impossible,
and that 10 this extent 1t is unquestionably a
success.

The Speculations of Currency Doctors.
From the H,tnId


There are certain classes of diseases of the
body physical for which there are more doctors,
more quacks, and more advertised nostrums
than for others, such as those of consumption
and scrofula, for example, because they are
more difficult to cure, and because preIenders
can more ellectually humbug the ignorant. So
it is with regard to the currency and national
finances. When the body polite is afflicted with
a disease Of this kind, as at the present time,
from the fact that currency bears the relation to
gold as one hundred to one hundred and forty,
every tyro, newspaper parasraphist, or bank
clerk adVertises his nostrum, Just at this time
the press is unusually exercised upon the subject.
The burden of the theme Is, let us return TO
specie payments-let us equaliZe gold and paper
without delay.
This sounds very agreeablyy and the ignorant
may be deceived by such currency doctors, lust
as they are by the quacks III medicine. 1t is
beautiful theory; but, unfortunately, those who
advocate 1t give us no satisfactory argument or
reason to show that it is practicable. 1t Is easy
to say LET us return to specie payments, that gold
is preferable TO paper money, and that 1t is a
saler and sounder currency. Who does not
prefer gold? Who does not wish to return to
specie payments at the earliest practicable
period? We all do. But the question Is, How
and when can this be done safely and pru
IDENTIFY Upon this very necessary preliminary
question these currency doctors do not under
take TO throw any light.
