Life Insurance.

The real value of life insurance has
ceased to be subject of discussion 1t
- generally recognized, and the practice
of providing in this way against the con-
tingeneies of the future has become so
common as to cease to excite remark, if
indeed, among certain classes of society,
it has not become rather that the fact of
ones not insuring is subject of curious
observation. 1t is now almost as much a
matter of course for persons of moderate
means. with growing families dependent
upon them for support, to insure their
lives, as it is for them to engage in bus
iness. 1t is at once an evidence and a
consequence of these facts that. the life
insurance interest in the United States has
grown to be very important one, invol-
wing an immense amount of capital, and
affecting the interest of very large mum.
Der of persons. 1t employs the energies
and resources of ffty-fve native com.
panies, with an aggregate capital of S108,.
$40, ,470.89, which insure 349, 1889 per.
sons, for an amount of risk reaching the
enormous sum of S966, 1854, $50. 43. A
considerable amount of business is alsc
done by foreign companies. a..r.
Our leading insurance companies are
among the best in the world. Men O
undoubted financial ability and integrit,
are in, their management, who have, b.
calculation based on well established sta
tiztics, and the experience Of their own
and other companies, reduced insuranc
to science so nearly exact that they ar
able to offer extremely liberal terms t
those insuring-so liberal in some respect
are they, in fact, as to appear astonishin
at first sight to a novice. But little ex
animation will convince any one that the
are entirely consistent with sound policy
and with the certainty of an adequat
return for the risk.

A WONDERFUL Flying Machine.

W. s. Hutchings, of st. Louis, the in
ventor, has laid his plans before the best
@ronauts in America, and all pronounce it
the only success ever made in aerial navi-
gation-in navigating the air and turning
in any direction, at any height, with the
pleasure of the navigator. This wonder
full invention of navigating the air has
been the study of the past century, and
has at last been successful. The model
has already been built, is twenty-eight in
ches in height, and works with the utmost
ease and upon mechanical and philosophi-
cal principles.
In constructing this machine, the laws
of gravitation have been well studied
The large machine now in course of con-
struction measures twenty-eight feet in
height with an expansion of twenty-five
feet; full weight of the machine 285 lbs,
when ready for aerial navigation, capable
of carrying with ease in the air $50 lbs
The principle is entirely new, and the in
ventor claims the compression of hot and
cold air in running caloric engine which
is attached to the back
The body is enclosed in a complete set
of mail armor made of vulcanized India
rubber and brass, with glass in front,
which protects the body and face from the
wind. Attached to the engine, and con.
nected by means of a tube passing over
the shoulder is large cylinder containing
the compressed air, which is worked with
each hand. By this means the navigator
can go up or down with ease, and regu.
lates the engine at his own leisure. At
tached to the feet, head and cylinder arr
doubled, inflated wings, some four feet il
length and by means of cords and Indi;
rubber valves attached to the fy-wheels Of
the engine, are two large inflated wings
on the compressed air principle, eighteen
feet in length, and which turn with light
ming speed in circular revolution, bear
ing up the entire machine. Immediatel,
above the engine is attached, by means o
cords, large double inflated parachute
measuring sixty-six feet in circumference
with u tube connecting from the centr
with the caloric engine. This is the pro
lection in making the ascension withou
danger to the eronaut, in case of acciden
) or breaking Of the machine. We under
stand the first trial will take place nea
this city, with the wonderful feat of iump
ing out of a Balloon at the height of tw
: thousand feet from the earth and as tn
. inventor proposes to accomplish this him
, self he has great confidence in his ow
invention. If it is a success, aerial navi
CATION is certainly the most useful inven
ton of modern times, outrivaling the tel
, cgraph or steam navigation.-iS. Lou

BRIcKs.-These are first noticed in the
building of the Tower of Babel" And
they said one to another, Go to, let US
make bricks and burn them thoroughly.
And they had brick for stone, and slime
had they for mortar. Gen. XII, 81
The Greeks used this material. Among
the Romans sun-dried or sun-burnt bricks
came into use during the republican form
of government, and burnt or baked bricks
about the time of Julius Caesar. Alfred
the Great first recommended the use Of
brick to the English people in the con-
struction of their dwellings; but these
were thin, and were called wall tiles. The
present mode Of making bricks was inven-
ted by Sir Nicholas Crisp, in the reign Of

SPRING

Now comes the Spring from southern lands,
And looking upward from the sod,
Sits Nature, holding empty hands,
For fresh replenishing from God.
The birds now sing on every spray,
That late had not one song Of hope ~
70 sing Of love on lovely day,
d clearly all their vocal scope.
Tia brooks, too, warble as they run,
"A They sing together, brook and bird,
And always in such unison,
'Tis often doubtful which is heard.
And ever with each other play
The fieecy clouds in highest sphere,
As through the dreary winter-day
They wept together, tear for tear.
Soft winds prevail, sweet scents are rife,
And every day fresh germs doth bring;
More than match for Death is Life,
More than match for Winter-Spring.
