OUR LIFE AS PROPERTY The Ma
TIoNAL LIFE.-If we have an amount
of perishable property at risk, whose loss
would be an Inconvenience to our estate,
zoe ahcays ins,uea Weare not only the
property of our families, (and perisha-
BILE at that, more than any other kind Of
property, but zoe are the producing po'c-
en-. If our houses or goods are burned,
we may build more and earn more but
if aoe are lost, everything is gone. If 1t
is necessary to ensure our buildings and
merchandise for our own benefit, how
much more to insure our lives which
make goods and merchandise, for the
benefit of our families. If we are pros
porous, a full-paid policy is an invest
ment for the future, that is beyond any
contingency. If we are poor, dollar
more or less per week secures a hand
some sum alta later period. What should
we think of the sailor who goes to sea
without anchors, because it is fair wealth
err when he sails, and what should we
think of the husband and father who
makes no provision for wife and child
dren because he is aceH to-day, although
he knows he may not be alive to-mor-
row?
Formerly, it was difficult to obtain
life insurance in responsible companies.
There were those which promised large
dividends and advantages, without any
sufficient guarantees. Life insurance
should be perfect secure beyond all risks
or chances. A company should not on
ly have large capital, but should be
managed by men of the highest integri-
ty and financial ability. We believe
that we have such an institution in the
National Life Insurance Company Of the
United States of America. 1t has
full paid capital of million dollars !;
and with such fnanciers as Jay Cooke,
Clarence II. Clark, and board of d.
rectors embracing gentlemen of the
largest business experience, we are not
surprised that it is one Of the most sue
cessful institutions of its kind. 1t deliv-
cred its first policy Aug. l, 1868; and
the policies issued since that time cover
insurance to the amount of Eight Mil
lion Dollars.

CABINET ORGANs.-The success of the
Mason d Hamlin Organ Company, now
the largest manufacturers of instruments
of this class in the world, producing and
finding demand for an average of one
hundred and twenty-five organs per aceek,
illustrates what can be doneb by energetic
and perservering pursuit Of right princi-
pies in business. The following are
what may be said to articles of their Con-
stautton, kept always in view, and never
deviated from
l. Excellence in the manufactured
articles must never be sacrificed to econ
omy and cost. The best, only and al
ways.
2. No degree of superiority shall be
considered satisfactory as long as i'm
provement is possible.
3. The use of every valuable inven-
ton and real improvement must be OBJ
tanned at whatever cost.
4. Productions to be sold at lowest
possible prices; these to be printed and
offered to all alike, thus dealing fairly
and impartially with the public.
This Company have expended an i'm
mense amount in experiments and i'm
provements, in which they have been
greatly successful, developing, charging,
improving and adding to the well-known
Melodeons of former times, until they
have become the magnificent MASON &
HAMLIN CABINET ORGANS of the present,
to which was awarded the Paris Exposi-
ton Medal for superiority last year.
They have just introduced an impor-
tant improvement, the MASON & HAM-
LIN IMPROVED Vox HUMANA, beauti-
full invention, which is said to be as great
an advance upon the Vor Humane al
ready used as the Cabinet Organ is upon
the Melodeon. They also announce i'm
portant reduction in prices, offering their
Organs at prices which are even less
than those commonly demanded for in
terlor workmanship. This is the natural
result of their greatly increased facilities
for manufacture, and fixed rule to sell at
smallest proGt.-Ne,V York Tribune.

Love, MURDER ANE SELF-DEsTRUC
TIoN.-Two Mississippi river steamboat
hands, named Noe and Cartwright, late.
ly had a quarrel about young lady al
Memphis, whose hand and heart they
both wished to obtain. Cartwright
thought his chances would be improved
by getting rid of his rival, and so he shot
Noe through the head, killing him in.
stantly. His Joy, however was short
lived, for on the very day on which the
murder was committed he learned that
the young lady in question had discarded
both him and his victim, and bestowed
her favors upon third person. Hethere.
upon surrendered himself to an officer
and, with the pistol used in Staying his
rival, blew his own brains out. The ball
passed through his head and inflicted q
slight wound upon the officer who had
him in custody.

LOVE, MURDER AND SUICIDE. These
are the details of fearful and unprece.
dented tragedy which occurred near Sew.
ellsville, Ohio, recently: One Thomas
Carr fell in love with daughter of his
employer, Miss Louisa Fox, and desired
to marry her. The young lady being
but fourteen years old the suitw denied
| by ner parents, and Carr at once deter
mined upon murder. He procured a
razor and started for the house of Mr.
| Fox, when he met Louisa on the road
accompanied by younger BROTHER
Carr turned about and they walked to
gether. During the conversation which
ensued, the girl told him that her grand.
mother, whose house she had Just left
had told her that her parents had deter
mined that she should never keep his
company again. The reply of Carr was
that he guessed both of them had q
short time to live" adding the query
Louisa, are you prepared p To which
she responded, "I am" Immediately
after her reply he pushed her down ant
drew out the razor, which he had hither
to kept concealed in his pocket, and pro
ceeded to cut her throat. The girl threw
up her hands, which were fearfully cash
ed in the struggle. 1t appears that sht
did not make any outcry or plead for he
life, so rapidly was the deed consummat
cd. Subsequent examination showed tina
the victims head was nearly severed from
her body, The murderer returned t.
Sewellsville and borrowed gun. II,
then proceeded by roundabout cours,
to coal bank near Mr.. Fox's house, tn,
home of the murdered girl, where h,
passed the night, during which he ven
tured to the front of the house and look
ed in at the front window, watching tn,
neighbors while they prepared the body
of the girl for burial. The next day he
shot himself with the gun, and thinking
the wound not fatal, cut his throat with
shoe knife, just after which he was dis.
covered and arrested. He will not re.
cover from his wounds.

A ROMANCE OF THE CUBAN REBEL.
LroN.-An American citizen who was in
the Theatre of Vil}anneva on the eve
ming of the 22d ult., and witnessed the
riot and massacre in thestreets of Havana
that evening, says that the origin of the
outburst was the shooting of young
woman. He says:
ga very beautiful girl, the daughter
Of ALBANIA, one of the wealthiest and
most noble of all Cubans, wore upon her
left breast the American flag, with the
inscription, Long live the Republic of
Cuba, upon it. When that stirring
song was being sung, the whole audience
rose and cheered this young woman, and
as she rose to acknowledge the salute
all eyes were now bent upon her-a low,
mean, cowardly Spaniard shot her with
revolver, killing her instantly. Two
American gentlemen occupied the box
adjoining Senorita Albania, whose names
do not know, but one of whom, seeing
the pistol pointed at the young lady's
breast, drew his revolver, and second
after the Spaniard had fred blew the top
OFT the head of the cowardly assassin
Instantly the wholetheatre was the scene
OF the greatest confusion, and the Span
ish troops rushed in and began firing
upon the masses Of the huddled, unarm-
ed, innocent men and woman"
