THE INTERPRETATION OF POLICIES OF IN
sURANCE-OPINION BY JUDGE MCCUNN

Elizabeth Baker agt. The Union Life In
surance Company. The plaintiffs husband insured his
life for $4,000 for the benefit of his wife, but instead Of
paying the premiums in cash gave his notes for them
The policy had a marginal memorandum that II any
notes given for premiums should not be paid the policy
should be void When the first note became due the In
obtained extension Of time, and, before paying
any note, died The Insurance Company resisted Mrs.
Bakers claim this ground The Court below found,
however In favor OF the plaintiff mainly the ground
that the Insurance Company had given receipt for the
premium for cash. The General Term, Judge McCunn
delivering the opiuiOn, has affirmed the decision OF the
Court below three grounds: First, that the wfes in
terest IN her husbands life what insured and
the receipt must be considered part OF the agreement
with her; second, that the memorandum provided for
forfeiture the election of the Company that such
feture waived by the extension OF the time TO pay
the notes and third that the receipt purpOrng TO be Of
cash estOpped the defendants since might have been
that this receipt the plaintiff would have paid the
premium in cash.

MARRIED LIFE.-Good counsel from q
wife and mother IL try to make myself
and all around me agreeable. 1t will not
do to leave man to himself till he com.
to you, to take no pains to attract him, or
to appear before him with long face. 1t
is not 80 difficult as you think, dear child,
to behave to a husband SO that he shall
remain forever in some measure hus-
band. l am an old woman, but you, can
still do what you like !; word from you
at the right time will not fail of it's effect !;
what need have you to play the suffering
virtue? The tear of loving girl, says
an old book, is like dew-drup on rose |;
but that on the cheek of wife is drop
of poison to her husband. Try to appear
cheerful and cortented, and your husband
will be so and when you have made him
happy, you will become so, not in appear
ance, but in reality. The skill required is
not so great. Nothing fatters man 50
much as the happiness Of his wife he is
always proud Of himself as the source Of
it. As soon as you are cheerful you will
be lively and alert, and every moment will
afford you an opportunity to let fall an
agreeable word. Your education, which
gives yru an immense advantage, will
greatly assist you; and your sensibility
will become the noblest gift that nature
has bestowed on you, when it shows itself
in affectionate assiduity, and stamps on
every action soft, kind and tender char
acter, instead Of wasting itself in secret
repinings."

LEGAL.-The following story is too good
to be lost, and as it must have been by a
lawyer, of course the profession will take
no offense at our reproducing it. An old
lady walked into lawyers office lately
when the following conversation took
place:
Lady-"Squire, called to see if you
would like to take this boy and make a
lawyer of him p
Lawyer-"The boy appears to be rather
young madam how old is he?''
Lady-"Seven years, sir"
Lawyer-"He is too young, decidedly
too young have you no boys older p
Lady-"Oh yes, l have several, butwe
have concluded to make farmers of the
others. | told the old man thought this
little fellow would make first rate law
yer, so called to s:e if you would take
him."
Lawyer-"No, madam. he is too young
vet to commence the study of the profess
sion. But Why do you think this boy any
better calculated for a lawyer than your
other sons?''
Lady-"Why, you see, sir, he is just
seven years old to day. When he was only
five he'd lie like all natur' when he got
to be six he was sassy and impedent AZ
any critter could be; and now he'll steal
everything he can lay his hands on"

The Red Cedar flows by on the west
and south sides of the town, distant about
one and half miles. The intervening
ground is covered with some Of the best
timber In the state, growing in abundance
upon level banks. The town is on the
line Of the Cedar Valley r. r. The depot
grounds are already located, and the in
habitants expect to hear the whistle Of the
Locomotive before another 4th of July.
The business of the town is good, even
at this money-tite time. While neighbor-
ing places were dull during the hard
times this fall, Usage was rejoicing over
the business-like appearance of her streets,
and the merchants wore smiling faces
while dealing out their goods to crowds Of
customers.
There are here, 80 business houses, be-

factory, (of wooden ware), two large
hotels, three churches, an academy,

the belief that bawling was the only way
of driving. But little experience on the

walking Horses. 7@ '%t7'
The best gait horse ever had for every
day use is good walk. 1t is a gait that
not one in ten possesses. Colts are not
trained to walk in the Eastern States.
Young America wants more speed. Ken
lucky has more good walking horses than
any other State, for there horseback trav-
cling has long been in fashion for men and
women, over country where muddy roads
at times render any other gait impossible.
and so horses have been bred for the sad
die and trained to walking gait. This
is also the case in all the Western States,
and perhaps might have been so in New
England where our grandmothers rode to
meeting on pillion behind our grand
fathers. But one horse wagons have put
horseback riding out of fashion, and now
a good walking horse is more rare than
one that can trot mile in 2:4O.
At the Springfield Mass. horse show
of 1860, the writer was one of the COM
mittee to award prizes to the two best
walking horses. Out of seventeen enter
ed the committee found but one which was
considered frst-rate walker. This was
a Morrill, mare, which walked five miles

walkers, and the rest knew no gait that
could be called walking. At the New
York State Fair the same state Of facts
was again developed. A letter from Wis
consin says: 81 think horses trained to
walk fast would be greater benefit to
our farmers in general than fast trotters,
as almost all of their work has to be done
with a walk" ..-..
once knew a man in Massachusetts,
who, before the railroads were built, kept
from two to four teams at work on the
road, and never allowed them to trot at all,
and made the distance in quicker time
than his neighbors, who made their horses
trot in every convenient place. He said
that when horse commenced to walk af-
ter trot, he walked much slower than his
common gait, if kept on a walk, and
thereby lost more than he gained. Will
farmers think of this, and pay more atten
ton to walking horses ?-Farmers' Home

THE WlFE,s CHRlsTMAs,

How can you speak to me so, Charliei
1t isn't kind or right;
You wouldn't have talked year ago,
As you have done tonight.
You are sorry to see me sit and cry,
Like a baby vexed, you say;
When you didn't know wanted q gift,
Nor think about the day!
But Tn not baby, Charlie,
Crying for something fine;
Only a loving woman panied,
Could shed such tears as mine.
For every Christmas time, till now
And that is why greve-
1t was you that wanted to give, Charlie,
More than to receive.
And all l ever had from you
have carefully laid aside;
From the first June rose you pulled for me,
TO the veil wore as bride.
And wouldn't have cared to night, Charlie,
How poor the gift, or small;
If you only had brought me something to show
That yon cared for me at all.
The merest trife of any kind,
That I could keep or wear;
fimsy bit OF lace for my neck,
Or a ribbon for my hair.
Some pretty story of lovers true,
Or q book OF pleasant rhymes;
A flower, or holly branch, to mark
The blessed Christmas time.
But to be forgotten, Charlie!
IT'S that that brings the tear;
And just to think, that havn't been
Your wife but single year!
