pretty discourse. This was only half the
sentence, and but a prelude to what fol
lowed. We would Hke-and doubtless the
public would also-to hear a sermon ON the
entire text, which we give below; or at
least on the remaining clause, which we
italicise:

the plan of paying premiums by monthly

His calculations are based on a premium of
one dollar, and one dollar and a quarter
per share per month. These tables appear
to be correct, but the multitude of figures
they require, makes it inconvenient to pub

gross amounts till each share of stock is
worth 5000.

started, pulling the knives directly upon
him. The little fellow succeeded in get

unfortunately was caught in the guards
1t being some time before the horses could
be stopped, his foot and ankle were fear
fully cut and lacerated. Drs. Tuft and
Frazer, of Elkton, were at once summoned,
and after careful examination of the case
determined to give him the chances of re-

The payments to the 18th month of the
9th year reach the 5000, 900, or 5000 a share,
which closes the Society. Hence, accord
ing to this table, the first series of the new
Society would pay out in years and 7
months, if the premiums were uniform at
$1.25 per share. At a uniform premium
Of $1.00, it would require nearly 10 years
to reach $500 per share. According to the
above tables, the estimate published in last
weeks Wing was in error, in not having
taken into the account the investment of
the 80 per cent. premium, which would add
to the value of the stock of the Society,
upwards of $500 in the sale of $1,000 cash.
The sales of funds in the new Associa-
ton, according to these calculations, should
realize premium of from $1.0O to $1.25
and upwards to equal the earnings of the
old Society.
