FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
lst Because 1t is home institution mantged and
controlled by your own citizens.
ID Because 1t is the only monted institution Of
the kind that loans Its funds In the States from which
they are derived.
Sd Because it is purely mutual; all policy holders

creasing assets belong exclusively to the policy
holders.
Itb Because its rates are -wer than those of most
other companies And Its divid ends will be larger
9Th Because invests its funds at rates of interest
averaging ten per cent, while Eastern comp inles
rates average less than seven per cent This makes
the dividends Of the Associat larger and the rates

branching growth spreading in every direction,
Its lighter portions swaying gently with the
movement Of the sea. 1t is not green like
land shrubbery, but has a variety Of soft, bright
hues-purple, rosy, amethyst yellow, brown
and orange. IT circumstances are favorable,
and the water crystal clear, as it sometimes is.
we shall have glimpses OF bright colored fishes
swimming in and out amid this tangled thick
ct, or here and there We may discern variety
Of sea anemones; their soft, feathery fringe
fully expanded.
This wonderful growth over which we have
imagined ourselves to be sailing is the top Of
coral wall: Reaching the surface of the water
at intervals, it forms little rocky islands here
and there, divided from each other by open
channels. through some Of which vessels Of
considerable size may pass. This wall in fact
ls repetition of the same process as that
which has formed the inner 70 v OF keys, though
In more incomplete stage; it is built up by
the coral animals from the sea bottom. Wher-
ever circumstances are most favorable to their
development, there they grow most rapidly.
In such spots they bring the wall to sea level
sooner than in others.
This done, however, the work Of the coral
animals ceases, because they cannot live out Of
the water. But in consequence Of q process OF
decay and decomposition, which shall des-
cribe when we examine the structure and life
OF the animals themselves, such q wall-or
coral reef, as it is called-is surrounded by
coral sand and fragments worn away from it
by the act;1n Of the sea. Materials of this
sort, mixed with sea weed, broken she ellis, &C.,
soon gather upon the top Of the reef where
ever the coral growth has brought it to the sea
level. BY degrees soil is collected upon such
spots raising them more aud more above the
surface OF the water In this way the islands
have been formed which we call the keys Of
Florida; and in the same way the little patches
now rising highest on the summit of the reef
will enlarge gradually into more and moro ex-
tensive islands, though at present many of
them are scarcely visible above the water level.

Her step is as free and her voice Is as sweet;
And if never flush lights the fair, cold face,
Why, Life is riddle; and she IS discreet,
She has lost the ftful, revealing glow
That traced each thought to it's innermost fount
Yet tits well, perhaps, since woman, you know,
Must give this tender world an account
And you think she has lost the holier Fart
Nay, nay, dear-Only a heart.
