Suppose that an individual aged thirty desires
to devote 5000 year for the purpose OF cffectiug
an insurance on his life; this amount will imme-
dialey secure him in the UNIVERSAL the sum Of
SIL75I payable On his decease. This sum, paid
to a company charging the ordinary mutual rates,
would secure him the sum of ,474-dffererce,
Immediately secured, in favor of the USIvERsAL,
S3,277.
To illustrate the Importance to the policy hol-
der of low premiums in more general terms, it
may be stated that by q reduction OF f,ccnty:frs
per cent in the rate OF premium, tho game amount
Of money will secure policy thirty-thrce ond
ihird per cent. greater, and likewise that reduc-
ton of twenty per cent. IN the rate OF premium
is precisely equivalent to lin annual cash diri9eud
oflthirty-ihrec and onc.third per cent payable in
adramcr, or to Il dividend of foriy.fre per cent.
payable at the end Of five Years.
BY the Stock plan tho JaH cash eject of the
premium is Immediately secured to the insured,
ne Company taking all the risk. By the Mutual
IAN the full value iii insurance IF the premium
lid is not secured to the policy holder, who takes
portion of the risk himself.
The Premiums
charged by tho UNIVERSAL are as low as the ac-
tual experience Of insured life in this country
will justify and ON the ordinary Life and Ton
Year Non-fortsltufe poitcies are Ca nh1 oNG-
THIRD LOWER than chose charged by the ma
jori,y of Mutual Companies.
Special attention il asked to our I" Return Pre-
mimm P!oh," by which the amount of the policy
is secured simply by the temporary deposit of the
annual premiums, which are returned in full, to-
,ether with the amount assured, to tho holder Of
policy when it shall become claim upon the
Company.
A clause is inserted ir tho policies issued by
Tho UNIVERSAL, in which these results are dis-
inctty specified and g"aranteed.

SOME. WORDS ABOUT WOMEN.

Martha Perry Lowe writes in Old ana
-Neac, for September:
Women cannot truly succeed in theil
great work of self-emancipation, if they
put themselves in seeming antagonism
to men. They may get their rights
they probably viii but they destroy
the fine relation which should exist be.
tween them and men, unless both work
together for the same end. Man is all
ready to serve women, and to take up
her interests as much as in knight err
rantry times of old; but woman must
use wise policy in her dealings with
him, in order that his service may be
glad and spontaneous, and that his pref
udices against change of existing Gus
toms may melt away insensibly before
the eloquence and power of her life.
The first fact which women should
justly convince man of is this: that
they can do great many things which
he cannot do. How do they show him
this? BY counting his praise and fiat

Boosting independence? No; but by

that more is lost than gained. OF
course there are exceptions to all these
cases, but they do not alter the general
