Few Of our institutions are accomplishing 80
much for the general wel-being of society az
the system of Life Assurance, Numberless
families have been saved by its fundamentally
from poverty and dependence. FURNISHES an
incentive to and the means for wise provision
against the future, and the changes which it
may have in store. This system is yearly
growing in the favor Of the public, and all
classes, whether rich or poor, are more and
more disposed to avail themselves of the advan-
tages which it brings within their reach. This
is demonstrated by the rapidly increasing bust
ness of some of our leading life insurance conf
panies The annual statement OF the New York
Life Insurance Company, Of 346 and 348 Broad,
way, New York, just published, makes an eX-
hlbit, with whichits pOcy-holders may well be
gratifed, and of which its officers have good
reason to be proud. The assets of this Com
pany have increased during the last ten years
from So 100000 to nearly 500, 100000. The
number of policies issued by it during the last
year 5000, insuring over 24,600,0OO. An
annual dividend has been declared from its
divisible surplus of nearly 81 100000. Such a
statement as this speaks loudly in favor of the
prudence and zeal with which the business
management Of this Company has been con-
Quoted. The New York Life has age and expe-
rence, and is well known to be one of the
soundest corporations in the country, and the
efficiency of management which has secured
it such success in the past is a sufficient warrant
for the expectation Of continued prosperity in
the tuture.-Ne'c York Tribune.

with absolute certainty the falling out of the

Of their decay, and preserve to the latest period
of life their flexibilty, color and luxuriance.
Is there any other hair preparation before the
world that will accomplish these objects? Let
those who have run through them all answer
the question We challenge the world to show
another article that will produce these results,
and we guarantee that the INVIGORAT0R
will, in every case, produce them. Should your
druggist chance to be out of the article he will
obtain it at your request.

SPRING BoNNETs. Straw bonnets will
again be the fashion for spring and sum-
mer. The importations are Leghorn,
split straws, natural chip braid sewed
into shape, Italian chip that comes in
circular sheets, and satin braids OF
these the light soft English split straw
promises to be the most popular. There
are also colored straws Of two shades Of
brown, blVish-grays, black; and white
straw, called brilliant, is dotted with
black soutache. Shapes are very little
changed, and are still combinations of
the gypsy and high Marie Antoinette
bonnet. Crowns are large and high ;
front pieces are narrow, and worn oftener
without coronets than with them and
occasionally the Marie Stuart point on
the forehead is seen. Capes or curtain
bands are added to many crowns. Some
beautiful French bonnets are made up
Of bits of straw and bands with shirred
puffs and fan pleatings of faille.

THE CLIMATE. There is no limit to

of Cornish, Me. ? That hamlet during
n recent severe snowstorm, AMI while the
feathery element was coming down in all
its fury, was astouished by three distinct
and well defined claps of thunder with
flashes of lightning to match The
general opinion in Cornish was that an
earthquake might be expected TO arrive
Immediately, or hurricane, perhaps or

ever, stayed It's hand the skies cleared

The LAw.-Some of the chief beauties
of the law are illustrated in a case in In
diana. A high spirited gentleman had a
quarrel with neighbor and shot him,
occasioning his death some days after.
He was tried for murder in the second
degree and acquitted on the ground that
death actually ensued from disease, that
being put forward as the defense, He
was then indicted for assault with intent
to kill and in defense admitted the shoot
ing and that death was the result Of the
wound, which made the offence murder
of the second degree, and then pleaded
his former acquittal on that charge.
The final trial is yet to come.

The QUEENS AssA1nANT. Queen Vic
toria's assailant, Arthur O'Connor, turns
out to be grandson of the late Feargus
O'Connor, one of the best known of the
leaders of the Chartist movement which
eliminated in the great demonstration
i'll London on the 10th of April, 1S4S.
Arthur O'Connor was born in England,
but his father was native of Ireland.
He is of boyish appearance, and when
arraigned before the magistrate at Bow
Street Police Court, was quiet and atten-
tive. John Brown the Queens groom
Colonel Hardinge and Prince Leopold
testified to the facts of the outrage. The
affair seems to have been nothing more
than the mad freak of a not very strong
minded boy. He was committed fol
trial.

The Present.

We may look for JOY to our longing hearts
In what the Past may show,
And through many hours drink bliss
From our memory's fruited glow,
We may seek it in the visions shaped
By the fancy where the mist
or the Future hangs, and see it full
OF the gold and amethyst
But the Present always should be made
Enjoyment's earnest hour,
For the Future preparation sure,
Though now some clouds may lower.
0 thus will we ever resolute be
0 thus live in work sublime
And the mind and heart can't help but step
With Faith to the march of Time.

Labor and Capital.

Men talk OF labor and capital as II they
were two essentially different things
They are in fact essentially one. If n
man builds factory, puts in machinery
buys raw material, puts in workmen, lie
is said to have invested his capital. The
mhoIe establishment is capital If it pays
the whole expense of running, including
materials, wear and tear, and wages, and
then has something over and above, that
surplus is called earnings. 1t isregarded
as fresh capital
Now q man is a grand mandatory.
His head furnishes power his hands and
feet and muscles are machinery, Every
man is in himself capital, If it costs to
run the machine all that it earns, he will
never have surplus capital, If he lives
on one half of his earnings, then his in
vested capital-that is, his bodily organ
ization--produces so much surplus CAPT
tal
A day laborer who saves three dollars a
week is capitalist If he puts his savings
into a horse and dr0y, Or into chest of
tools, or into candy shop, he reinvests
and now his capital is, primarily, his own
productive force-that is, himself and
seco0d0rily, these new means of carrying
on business. Every step by which he
rises from poverty to competence is in the
direction of augmented capital.
Every prosperous workingman is proof
to himself that there is no need of conflict
between labor and capital.
But suppose man to have gained by
industry enough money to buy two horses
and two drays Z? He cannot drive both
of them himself. He hires man. Now
he is not only laborer, but an employ
er
If his business increases till he owns
twenty or thirty teams, all his time will
be needed to superinteud them he will
do head work, and hire the hand work.
In each step upward his relations to his
laborers Are just and beneticent The
interests are reciprocal. There is nc
mystery or completely about it. All the
talk about the normal and abnormal re-
lations of capital to labor is needless
Capital may undertake to do things PREF
judicial to the common veal, and require
to be restrained, and SO just as much may
labor.
As to the precise questions asked by oul
correspondent, they are almost too plain
to require an answer. OF course the en-
ployer should keep his agreements, and
pay at the time provided. Labor, on the
other hand, should keep its agreement
and render fair work fol fair price. But
there are some practical suggestions Of
value.
Payments to laboring men should be
at short intervals, especially when the
men have families dependent upon them
IT is better to pay in money than in goods
or orders. The temptation to make
double profits on inferior goods leads
selfish men to take advantage of theil
"hands," Although payment by orders
may secure better goods sometimes thar
the men would buy for sh, yet, on the
other hand, it leads to carelessness ant
sbiftless management in the family. Il
Is the interest of every employer that hi
men should be intelligent, thrifty ant
good managers in the household. 1t il
his interest, even if he works by no high
er principle, to deal justly, promptly an(
literally with all his workmen. -Henr,

RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF EGGs.-On
leaving the ovarium, the egg to be ex-
truded a week hence is not much larger
than a pea in a common pullet. In its
passage through tube hardly eight
inches long, it imbibes fluids from the
wall to increase its size. On its transit
through the four inches the growth is
still more rapid, while it also is coated
over with lime, mixed like paint with
mucous, which hardens quickly. That
is the finishing process before being laid.
In twenty days the eggs Of one hen
would exceed the weight of her body.
So of any bird. Yet the whole of that
mass of albumen is drawn directly from
her blood. If stinted in food, of course
it would limit the number as WELL In
the laying season, if domestic fowls can
not range for insects and worms, which
furnish albumen for their eggs, they
must be fed with animal food to meet
the demand upon their systems for that
material.
