Life Insurance.
BY CON e. QCENCE.


No sensible man will ever at
tempt to deny that life insurance Is
good thing, especially for men
with large families and little means,
who contemplate taking a sudden
voyage to that better land, and
don't feel like leaving their families
upon the cold world without n cent
to help themselves with. And the
cheapest and surest way to do this
successfully is to take out a policy
for ten thousand, but it is not al
ways necessary to pay a cash prem
ium, rs you can give a thirty day
note. and then the next day go to
the druggist. secure ten cents worth
of strychnine; go home and tell
your wife you are going land hunt
ing, and then get ten miles away
from habitation before you take the
dose. BY doing this you will not
run the risk of being found and
pumped out before life is extinct.
This is not recommended for gen
eral practice, but it will answer on
pinch.
Two months ago I secured pol
icy of three Thousand on my preci-
Gus life, and Arabella has been
wishing l was dead ever since, and
I don't take n minutes comfort,
either at home or abroad. When
am at home, l am in constant fear
that something will accidentally get
into food which will send me to
kingdom come before have time
to will my terrier dog to little
darlkey boy at the foot of the lane
and / cannot turn a street corner
when am going to and from busi-
ness, without encounteriDg from
one to six life insurance agents, and
each one is extremely anxious 10
take risk on my life. They will,
l fear, drive me to some desperate
deed yet, and / shall no doubt be
made to suffer for some rash act II
l cannot devise plans whereby
| may be rid of these peslSy agents
for a time at least.
Well, l think l have hit the mark,
and ere long I am confident that
there will not be life insurance
agent in the union that would give
me the least notice, even though ]
should desire insurance ever sc
much.

and coax some sweetness from
every bitter dose. Her father had
been dead six years, and his busi-
ness affairs having been comp'icat-
cd in some way not comprehensive
to feminine intellect, his widow and
child found themselves reduced t.
an income that barely covered the
necessaries of life. They left the
city and took a small cottage in
the pretty village of Merton, where
Mrs. Markham soon procured n
c'ass of music scholars, and herself
gave Jessie lessons, in the highest
b anches of English studies, Ger
man, French, and music, till, at
eighteen, her daughter also procur-
ed a few pupils in language. They
were very happy in their mutual
effection, in the love Of their pupils,
and the care of their little house.

1t had been understood from the
time Jessie was a tiny baby that
she would inherit the fortune of
her maiden aunt, for whom she
was named, and who came from
the city every summer to spend q
month or two in the little cottage,
always bringing pretty presents to
brighten the home of her brothers

Yet, though Jessie had known of
her aunts supposed intentions,
neither she nor her mother had
ever made calculations upon a for
tune dependent upon the death of
one for whom they felt the warmest
efiection, and the idea that others
could be influenced by it was q
new thought to the young girl.
She had given to her betrothed,
Charley Seaton, the first love of her
young heart, believing his love was
all her own. In the six years she
lived in Merton, child and maiden,
Charles Seaton had been her de-
voted admirer from the first, and
had recently finished his course of
law study and been admitted TO
the bar His fortune, inherited
from his father, was very small,
barely covering his expenditures
for board and clothing but he
was energetic, industrious, and
without brilliant talent, n clear
headed. intelligent student, prom
ising to make capable lawyer, il
not shining light ut the bar.
Answering her mothers call,
Jessie nestled down in her favorite
seat at her feet, saying sadly:
"If Charley was influenced by
hope of Aunt Jessie's money,
mamma, il is better to know il now.

wait for our wedding day until he

ward the first expenses. We could

answer comes to my letter"
"While YOU wait, DEAR" said her
mother, ''shall l tell you what i

Jessie's large brown eyes opened

peated the name, adding: "Why,

"But--I mean-dear me !" said
the other, shrinking from uttering
her own thoughts. "You know,

Over the fair, sweet face of the
young girl there had crept a shad'
ow Of gravity and perplexity since
the arrival OF the lawyers letter,
that clouded the brown eyes and
gave the sensitive, mobile mouth q

natural. Life had been all sunshine

WHAT Is THE CAUSE, CLEMENCY OR COM
MEROIAL OALOULATION7

A London journal, OF the 7th OF May, speaking
OF the present condition OF Poland and OF the
commercial interests or rtvalries Of Russia and
Germany, says:-"A remarkable instance OF q
country in spite OF recent political commissions
becoming rich and prosperous, beyond the most
sanguine expectations, Is Afforded In the case of
Poland. The most trustworthy evidence OF this is
given by the report OF Consul General Mansfield
which has just been made public. Polish fabrics
OF every kind are gradually driving out OF the
market both for the kingdom itself and the EN-
pire oil Russia In general, vast number OF artL
Germany, and the industrial production tor ex-
portions. In many cases the contractors can
hardly meet the demands. Labor has risen in
price In the same ratio, and active and lnteIl-
gent hands ind ready employment at remunera-
ton quite out OF proportion with the price OF
living. The population IS undergoing o steady
increase, no emigration taxes place for America
or elsewhere, aDd the number OF lsraeites who
run away to escape military service is more than
counterbalanced by the return OF exiles from Rus
STA. Siberia and abroad, under the provisions of
various imperial amnesties. The convention with
Austria respecting the salt mines In Gallic1a has
terminated and the report points out that there
will be large opening Tor the Liverpool dealers IN
salt, which is well worthy the attention OF those
firms. They should be early in the field and ac-
quire the business Immediately before 1t can get
into German hands.
