This Company has met with success beyond all
parallel in Life Insurance, and offers to the South
ern public Home Enterprise equal to any and sur
passed by none in existence.
Commenced active operations about Nov. l, 1861
Assets lst January $3.50, 900, now much increased
Policies issued in 16 months 2,053, covering risks
of $7,000,000.
1t has paid for losses of $50, 1OO and in every in
stance waived the ninety days time and paid at once
1t advises the payment of all cash premiums, be-
cause their dividends will continually decrease each
next payment until nothing will be required and the
policy may be source of income; but it will allow
one half loan ON life and joint life policies. One
third loan on other participating policies.
1t requires no notes for loans OF the part of pre-
miums but endorses the loan OF Its policies until
absorbed by-dividends is payable.
1t has no restriction on residence or travel ALI
its policies are non forfeitable and the right of par
ties guaranteed on the face Of the policy, as part OF
the contract
1t has the following valuable feature which no
other company gives: The late war taught many the
penalty of being separated from the Home Office by
having their part payment forfeited. The Pied
mont" guards against this in her policies, and in
event of separation from its Office by any interven-
ure paid up policy, surrender value and reinstate.
ment as though there had been no such intervening
cause.
Its investments are made for benefit of Southern
advancement.
1t brings money to our people-keeps money with
our people. Then why should they continue to
empoverish themselves by sending money off which
can as easily, as safely, as proftably be spent at
home?
The Piedmont asks all who wish to insure to COM
pare its rates, terms, progress with any company,
and feels confident its merits will equal any other
company.
1t has not been in progress long enough to declare
dividend, but its policies are now being valued.
Its dividend will begin LIST May next and it feels
confident it will equal any company in like period,
and be satisfactory to its patrons.

In article with the above title,
tho Wandorer, of Vienna, makes
the following remarks
"In every 1000 inhabitants, 353
deaths occur in Austria and Hung
airy, 25S in France, 260 in Prussia,
259 in Holland, 220 in Great Brit
ain and Ireland, 222 in Belgium,
36l in Spain. Truly 1t is sad pre-.
eminence to stand next to Spain in
the rate of MOI talIty. But what Is
our position in respect to elemonta
ry education ? For every 10000
inhabitants the number of scholars
ut tho elementary schools in Aus
trla and Hungary is $50; in France

1880 ; ia Great Britain and Ire

A Mouse I'm the Pantry!

When ! used to be out of temper,
or naughty in my way, If grandfa-
thcr was here he would callto me-
"Mary, Mary, take care there's
mouse IN the pantry |"
j often used to cease crying Mt
this, and stand wondering to my-
self what he meant. often ran TO
the pantry, too, to SEQ if there roal-
y was n mouse ia The trap but |
never found one. Ono day l said :
"GrahdGathcr, | don't know what
you mean. i havn't pantry, and
there are no mice in mothers, be-
cause / have looked ever so often"
lie smiled and said
"Come, httlo woman, sit down
here in the porch by me, and I'll
tell you what morn. Your heart,
Mary, is ,ho pantry. The little sins
arc the mice that get in and nibblc
away all the good, and that makes
you sometimes cross and peevish
and fretful, unwilling TO do az your
mother wishes and If you do not
strive against thom, tho mice will
keep nibbling TIL the good Is all
eaten away. Now | want TO show
you, my little girl, how TO prevent
this. TO keep tho mice out, you
must set trap for them tho trap
Of watchfulncss, and have for tho
bait good resolutions and firm
nCss."
"But, mother" said Nancy, now
quite interested in the story, "would
rot they hibble the resolutions IL
way, after whilc?"
mo, Nancy not if the watch
was kept strictly, and tho bait was
good one. did not exactly un-
derstand 1t when grandfather first
told me, for l was such q little girl;
but knew it was told for me in
some way, ana after while began
to find out what no meant. He
told me, too, that l might store my

of scholars is lowest. But n skep-
tic may say, perhaps, .he high rate
of mortality arises from immodor-
ate production, and is caused in
fact by TOO largea number Of births.
Hubncr shows that for every TO-
900 inhabitants there are 400 births
in Austria and Hungary, 269 in
France, 504 in Prussia, 351 IN Hob
Land, $40 in Great Britain and Ire
land, 300 in Belgium, and 400 in
SPAN. If we consider the increase
Of the population by the excess of
births over deaths, we find that IL
averages for every 10000 inhabi-
tahts 80 IN Austria and Hungary,
81 in France, ia IN Prussia, % in
Holland, 110 in Great Britain and
Ireland, 7S in Belgium, and 80 in
Spain. From this we see that
France alone among the countries
with largely visited schools stands
below Austria IN tho rate Of IN
crease, but that all iho others which
surpass her on the one point do so
on the other also. We with our
sparse population nnd our rich nat
ural resources, have, therefore, as
we have shown, for every 10000
inhabitants an increase OF 6l less.
than Prussia, 80 less than England,
~ less than Holland, aud % less
than Belgium. This is an imports
ant loss both in material and irtel-
lcctual respects, q physical deficit
which arises from our spending too
much-that is, from our high rate
Of mortality"
