The american Central Insurance Csnpa-
my, of st. Louis, has Sustained no Loss
at The Boston Fire.

Considering the fiery ordeal at Chicago,
through which the Company has passed, it must
be gratifying to note that the cash and available
resources are now larger than ever before. The
securities of the Company speak for themselves.
This Company sustained no loss at the Boston
ates The Company bases its claims to pat
ronage: first, the desirable class of Its invest
ments; second, its large available resources, its
stock being held in small amounts and by the
most influential business men in the West /;

of itself is sufficient guaranty of security: The

One Worm did 1t.


One day was walking with some friends
through Sudbrook Park, in Surrey. when
DR.. Ellis drew our attention to large syc-
amore tree, decayed to the core.
"That fine tree" said he, "was killed
by single worm"
In answer to our inquiries, we found
that about two years previously the tree
was as healthy as any in the park, when a
woodwork, about three inches long, was
observed to be forcing its way under the
bark of the trunk. 1t then caught the eye
of a naturalist who was staying here, and
he remarked, "Let the worm alone and it.
will kill the tree" This seemed improb-
able; but it was agreed that the black
headed worm should not be disturbed.
After time it was discovered that the
worm had tunnelled it's way considerable
distance under the bark. The next Sum-
mer the leaves of the tree dropped off very
early, and in the succeeding year is was a
dead, rotten thing, and the hole made by
the worm might be seen in the very heart
of the once noble trunk.
"Ah p said one who was present, "let
us learn lesson from that single tree.
How many who once promised fair to USE
fulness in the world and the Church, have
been ruined By a single SIM"

Rather Cooling.

Young Blifkins, son of old Blifkins the
banker-he of the Dolly Warden pants and
and vest-was recently caught in a shower,
and took refuge under the portico of a
dwelling on Beacon street. A very attract
i've young lady--a pretty maiden-who sat
by the open window, seeming his situation,
sent out servant to him with an umbrella.
Blifkins went away in ecstasy; and on the
following day, having attired himself in
most elaborate and stunning array of starch
and jewels, he took the umbrella, which was
an old one, and laid It away with his treas
ures of conquest as a souvenir; and then he
went forth and purchased an affair to re-
place it of the most beautiful and costly
kind. Thus equipped he called upon the
lady to return her fiattering loan. She adj
mitted him to her presence and received
the umbrella without apparently noticing
the exchange; and it was not until she had
listened with becoming gravity to his high
ly dramatic ack acknowledgements that the
truth beamed upon her. She saw that he
labored under the enchanting impression
that she had been smitten by his appear.

Only a Grain Of Sand.


A man who had for years carried an old
and cherished watch about him, one day
called ON its maker, and told him it was no
longer useful, for it would not keep time
correctly.
"Let me examine It," said the maker;
and taking a powerful glass, he looked
carefully and steadily into the works, till
he spied just one little grain Of sand.
"I have it, he said. "I can get over
your difficulty"
About this moment, by some powerful
but unseen power, the little grain suspect
ing what was coming, cried out, "Let me
alone / am but small thing, and take up
so little room. cannot possibly injure the
watch. Twenty or thirty of us might do
harm, but cannot, so let me alone"
The matchmaker replied, "You must
come out, for you spoil my work, and all
the more so, that you are so small and but
a few people can see you"
Thus it is with us, whether children or
elders-one lie, one feeling of pride, vanity,
or disobedience, may be such little one
that none but ourselves know of it yet
God who sees all things, knows it, and that
one sin, however little it may appear, will
spoil our best efforts in his service.

A Singular Case Of Detection.

The lawyers monologue in the play OF
Lady Aldley's Secret" which vividly de-
scribes the gradual closing-in of web OF
circumstantial evidence, is recalled by the
curious story of the detection of the mur-
derer of Professor Panorma in Brooklyn
A patched tape-line was the clue-nothing
more. A 'sneak-thief, in whose pocket
the tape was found, questioned by shrewd
police officer, reveals his connection with a
New York gang of silver-thieves stolen
property is recovered men are arrested on
the charge of stealing it one of the thieves
is described as the murderer of Panorma
the truth conass out, little by little and
the scoundrel who dealt the fatal blow, ar
rested in receivers house for robbery, is
held to answer the charge of murder. Great
credit is due to Captain Fairy and his men,
whose ingenious disguises and untiring pa
tience during a search which lasted for
weeks have brought the perpetrator of an
infamous deed to the bar of Justice. If
the man O'Brien be convicted and executed
and the case seems perfectly clear--the
Panorma murder will take its place among
the records of celebrated crimes.

The Death of a Dishonest Man.

1t is over. He was buried to-day. He
did not live to be old, and yet his life was
not a short one. He did great deal of
business and was widely known. The flags
hung at half-mast, for his name had been
good deal before the public.
Yet nobody respected him. He was not
honest; and that was the fatal drawback
which always kept him under. He was
shrewd enough, and smart enough, but yet
he never had any solid, substantial prosper
ity; and the sole reason was because he
had no inbom abiding integrity.
Providence so ordered things that dis
honesty thwarts the most cunningly de-
vised schemes for making money. Were it
not so, thieves would become rich, in the
true sen Sc of the word. Their gains are un-
certain, and their lives are thriftless as we'll
as unhappy. ...raal.
Apart from all reference to future state
of existe nee, there is no better platform
Cor this world, no better basis to do busi-
ness upon, than that of the ten command
ments.

A Fable.

A deer once saw himself pictured in a
clear brook.
=" Truly said he, 81 surpass all animals
in gracefulness and majesty! How lord
ly do my horns tower up But my feet how
long and ugly p
Hardly had he uttered these words when
he saw lion springing towards him.
With the greatest haste his despised feet
carried him to the next forest; but sud
denly his broad antlers were caught in the
overhanging thicket and he could not
tear himself away.
The lion overlook him and devoured him.
Learn from this not to value things from
their outward appearance, but for their in
ner worth; otherwise you will often have to
repent bitterly your unjust Judgment.

GB Suppose we saw an army sitting
down before granite fort, and they told
us that they intended to batter it down, we
might ask them "How ?' They point to
cannon-ball. Well. but there is no power
in that; is heavy, but not more than half
hundred or, perhaps, hundred-weight;
If all the men in the army hurled it against
the fort, they would make no impression.
They say No, but look at the cannon"
Well, but there is no power in that; a child
may ride upon it, and bird may perch in
its mouth. 1t is machine, and nothing
more. "But look at the powder" Well,
there is no power in that; child may spill
1t, sparrow may pick it, Yet this pow
erless powder and powerless bali are put in
the powerless cannon; one spark of fire
enters it, and then, in the twinkling of
an eye, the powder is a flash of lightning
and that cannon-ball is thunderbolt
which smites as If 1t had been sent from
heaven. So it is with our Christian ma
chinery Of this day; we have the instru-
ments necessary for pulling down strong
