The Louisville Journal is responsible for
the following, which it says recently occurred
in Covngton:-
a gentleman-a stranger, Of coursc-met
old Jessie in the street, and desired to break
ten dollar bill, stopped him and asked him to
change it. Old Jessce thought lie cond do So
opened his pocket book and began to tumble
over It's contents As he did so he cast side
glance at thestrangor, andmutterrd, in quick,
jerky, gutteral tone of voice. 'Do You know
who am, siri'
no." replied the stranger, " do not who
arc you ?"
"Sr," said old Jcssee, Strengthening himself,
Il am the father of the greatest soldier who
ever lived
"Then, said the stranger, "your name must
be Jackson, and thought Stonewall Jackson's
father was dead"
That ended the interview.

KNEW WHAT llE WAS ABoUT.-0ld Ross
was the most conceted, grabbed, opinionated
fellow to be met with anywhere. What 10
didn't know wasn't worth knowing. and he
took it as an insult if any one essayed to give
him any information.
At last he fell seriously i'll, and was moro
Grabbed and opiuionatcd than ever. II soon
became evident that he was near his end but
no ono liked TO tell him Of his condition. A
pious old neshbor finally took upon himself
the solemn task
"Neighbor Ross said he, there is somc-
thing that feel it my duty to tell you"
Z" Tou tell nc anything" snapped old Ross,
in great scorn.
But must tell you, Mr. Ross, that you
arc dying"
Mind your own business. guess know

A Singular Adventure.

Once upon a time a traveller stepped
into stage coach. He was young man
starting in life. He found six passen-
gers about him, all grey headed, and ex-
tremely aged men. The youngest ap-
peared to have seen at least as many as
eighty winters. Our young traveller,
with the slgularly mild and happy aspect
which distinguished all his fellow passen-
gers, determined to ascertain the secret
OF a long life, and the art of making old
age comfortable.
He addressed the one who was appar-
emily the eldest, who told him he had al
ways led regular and abstemious life,
eating vegetables and drinking water.
The young man was rather daunted at
this, inasmuch as he liked che good
things of thislif He addressed the sec
ond, who astonished him by saying he
had always eaten roast beet aud gone to
bed regularly fuddled for the last seventy
years, adding, all depended on regularity.
The third prolonged his days by never
seeking or accepting Office the fourth by
resolutelv abstaining from all political
and religious controversies and the fifth
by going to bed at sunset and rising at
1 dawn. The sixth was apparently much
younger than the other five-his hair
was less grey, and there was more of 1t j,
] a placid smile, denoting perfectly easy
conscience, mantled his face, and his
voice was jocund and strong.
They were all surprised to learn that he
was by ten years the Oldest in the coach.
q How is it you lave preserved the
freshness of life % exclaimed our young
traveller.
aT have drank water aud wine-l
have eaten meat and vegetables-I have
daubed in politics and written religious
pamphlets-I have sometimes gone to
bed at midnight, and got up at sunrise
and at noon;" he then fixed his eyes in
tently on the young man, and concluded
, with this remark, . but [ always pay
promptly for my newspaper"
Then the other old men chimed IN
with
OF course, we always pay promptly
and in advance, for our newspapers. Nc
man deserves long life who does not dc
this"
Then the young man resolved that ne
would render himself deserving of long
life, and Immediately subscribed for five
newspapers, paying for them in advance
He is still living.

The Hon. Jno. E. Sanford, Insurance Commits
sioner of Massachusetts, in his Report for 1868,
speaking of Dividends in Life Insurance Compa-
nies. says. :. The sooner such guarantees cease
to be made, and such expectations created, the
sooner Life Insurance will come rest on its true
motive. and men insure their lives for security,
and not for dividends. The best and the most
popular companies will then be those that prom
ise only equity and render all that they promise,
