RECORD OF STRONG CoMPANY,--The Nation
al Life Insurance Company, which received its
charter from the National Congress in July last,
has already made its record in unmistakable
characters. With its agencies as yet only in
process Of organization, it has, as we learn issu-
ed insurance to an amount exceeding seven mill
lion dollars. That we think is a very marked
success-it is so much needlul work well done
The Company does a strictly cash business, as
being in its judgment the simplest and best for
both the insurer and the insured, and it never
complexities its affairs with either notes, loans, or
dividends and thus leaves no door open to misap-
prehension or disappointment in the future.
While the principle of 3" 50 much insurance for
so much money is rigidly adhered to, and every
policy has thus a fixed and deteminate value, all
accumulations that might otherwise be declared
as dividends at some future time, are discounted
IN adraaoc, and the exact pro rata is counted IN
with the amount of each policy when it is issued.
!. Managed by men of the highest financial ability
and undoubted integrity protected by large
pad-up cash capital, and possessing all the ele-
meuts that have given success 10 other similar en-
terprises, we should expect this would become
one Of the most successful institutions of its kind

Valuable Suggestions.

The following suggestions are taken
from Mrs. Haskells Household Encyc-
lopedia, and may be read with profit by
every houskeeper:
Coffee, tea, pepper and spices are left
to stand open and lose their strength.
The cork is left out of the molasses
jug, and the flies taken possession.
Vinegar is drawn in tin basin and al;
lowed to stand until both basin and Vine
gar are spoiled.
Dried fruit is not taken care Of in sea-
son, and becomes wormy.
Potatoes in the cellar grow, and the
sprouts are not removed until they be-
come worthless.
Pork spoils for want of salt, and beef,
because the brine wants scalding.
Bones are burned that would make
soup.
Clothes are left on the line to whip To
pieces in the wind.
Brooms are never hung up, and soon
are spoiled.
Carpets are swept with stubs hardly
fit to scrub the kitchen.
Teapots are melted by the stove
Water is forgotten and left in pitchers
and allowed to freeze In winter.
Stops for COW or pig never saved and
in many other ways ii careless and mex
perience housekeeper will waste, without
needing, the hard earned wages of her
husband.

The Reau,ies oflI,e rarla.

The following incident is stated by the
Hon. James Brooks, of New York, in a
speech which he made at the last session
of Congress, illustrating one of the beau
ties of the present tariff There is a
nickel mine in Pennsylvania, in the dis
trict which was represented by the Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens He was Chairman
of the Committee Of Ways and Means,
and always saw to it that this nickel mine
was well protected" Slr. Brooks sug
gested to him that the Government had
better buy the nickel mine out of which
it made its cents than to pay the enormous
bounty to its owners that had been
put in the tariff Mr. Stevens said it
could be bought propably fer $780,
900 or 100000, but it would not read
well to do it, and remarked that the
''nickel mine owners had better sell it
their own way" They have indeed "sold
it their own way''-sold it over ana over
again, and sold the country with it-Cin

THE CHILDREN OF ERIN.
BY r. c. HOPKINS.


Speak kindly pray, to the children of Erin,
To Patrick and Margaret, to Bridget and Bar
ney,
As hardly they toll in the land of the stranger
For the lone ones who dwell on the banks of
Killarney.
Their eyes they are bright, their cheeks they
are rosy,
They sing as they toll at reaping and sowing>
But the songs that they sing, breathe spirit of
sadness
That tells of the land where the shamrock is
growing.
In country, in town, in city, in village.
In farmhouse and dairy, at the mouth Of the
cannon,
The children of Erin forever are dreaming
Of the land that is watered by the waves of the
Shannon.
They dream of the cabin that stands on the hill
side;
Of the green, sunny meadows, where the prim-
roses bloom
They dream of the fields where in childhood
they played,
OF the willow that weeps o 'cr young brothers.
tomb,
In far distant lands, wherever they roam,
Mid the SHOWS of the North, meath tho palms
Of the South,
Erin's warm-hearted SONS in their dreams still
To the green isle of their home, to the land of
their birth.
And sad is the heart Of Erins poor daughter,
As she thinks Of fa- away father or mother,
And her blue eyes are dimmed with the tear
drops Of sorrow
As she dreams of a bright-eyed sister OF brother
Then speak kindly, pray, to Erin's poor chill
dren,
To Patrick and Margaret, to Bridget and Bar
ney,
As hardly they toll in the land of the stranger
For the lone ones who dwell on the banks of
Killarney.

Opening Their Eyes.

"The income tax is one of the worst
ever levied-inquisitorlal, unequal and
offering premium for perjury. Wetrust
its days are nearly numbered. ~. Y.
Tribune.
So the Tribune is getting its eyes op-
ened to the enormity of the present In
ternal Revenue system. The people
have been thinking about this for some
time. TO the commonest understanding g
the system has all along been ''inquisitor
ial and offering premium for perjury"
Since the Radical revenue system went
into operation, thousands of men have
grown fabulously rich by means of per
jury. The poor make honest returns, and
pay their taxes, while corruption does
neither, and crowds the thoroughiares oi
business, elbowing honesty off the side

Trees and Rain.

A sugar grower, in the Sandwich Is
lands, having suffered seriously from
draught, resolved, the San Francisco
Bulletin says, 10 plant trees on the
mountains adjoining his plantation. Fif-
ty thousand forest trees were set ont in
1860. and at this time no Inconvenience
is experienced from lack of rain water.
Cisterns holding 10000 barrels Of water
have been constructed, and in this way,
though there are no streams for irriga-
ton, destructive droughts are insured
against. A flourishing sugar plantation
has been formed on a dry plain, which,
without this expedient, would have been
useless

A Fearful Risk,

At Echo, on the Union Pacific Rail
road, the other evening, three freight
trains stood upon the main track, when
word came flashing over the telegraph
from the Superintendent: "a locomo-
tive and tender, with steam up and with
nobody on board, have broken from a
freight train and started down the
grade" All, then there was hurrying to
and fro! In few seconds came anoth-
er message: "She has just passed Castle
Rock station" Never were three trains
got off upon a siding with less delay
Then tho workmen piled sleepers high
upon the tracks; lest even that should
not stop her, and she should do murder
further down the road, they tore up the
rails below. just as this was accom-
plished she came in sight. She shot
through the sleepers like bullet through
a pine board, sending them flying in all
directions and darlsening the air with the
splinters, but at the broken track she
jumped up and down with vexation and
finally plunged angrily, head foremost.
into hillside. She had FUN twenty-six
miles in twenty-nine minutes-the best
time vet made upon the road.
