The Best Love.

Home-loye is the best love. The love
that you are born TO is the sweetest you
will ever have on earth. You, who are so
anxious to escape from the home-nest,
pause moment aud remember that this Is
so. It is right that the hour should come
when you, in your turn, should become
wife and mother and give the best low
to others; but that will be just it. Nobody
not lover, nor a husband-will ever be
SO tender or so true as your mother and
father. Never, again after strangers have
broken the beautiful bond, will there be
any thing so sweet as the little circle OF
mother, and children, where you were
cherished, protected, raised, and kept from
harm. You may not know it now, but
you will know it some day. Whomsoever
yon marry-true and good though he may
be-will, after the lover days are over and
the honeymoon has waned, give you only
what you deserve of love cr sympathy-and
usually much less. never more. Yon must
watch and be wary, lest you lose that love
which came in thro' the eyes, because the
one that looked through you beautiful
But those who bore you, whe loved you
when you were the dreadful little object
and thought You exquisitely beautiful and
wonderfully brilliant-they do not care
for faces that are farer and forms that ar,
more graceful then yours. You are theil
very own, and so better to them Away
than others.

IA q Nutshell.

During the war Uncle Sam borrowed
greensbacks and grve his notes payable in

A Thririnc Institution.

From the ohio Statesman, Dec 29.
About the first of June last, we recorded
the incorporation of new institution, The
State Mutual Aid Association, an insur-
ance association based on the mutual assess
nlent plan.
Since that date We have almost lost sight
ofthis enterprise, SO quietly and smoothly
has it done its work. A few days ago We
visited the Home Office and found the Pres
ident. Hon. WM. BELL, ] r., the Secretary,
J. H. SAMPSON, and the assistant, busy
attending TO the duties oistheir offices, and
almost hidden under the immense pile of
applications before them. and issuing cir
tifcates, answering letters, sending out sup.
plies, ect. Upon inqniry we found already
upon their books nearly 600 members, from
every part of Ohio. Taking into consider
alton the fact that this Association has been
actively at work only six months, and the
fact that during much of Jnly and August,
business of all binds was suspended for har-
vest and the great strike, the growth of this
Association has been remarkable. The
causes which have led to such encouraging
results are the peculiarly clear, equitable
and popular plan of giving both life and
endowment insurance at cost, and allowing
the members to control their own money
losses. A member of this Association does
not have to pay out large amounts of
money to be squandered by extrava-
gance, nor do they have,to pay their insur-
ance during their whole lives to secure the
| benefit. Those who remain faithful to the
Association from IS to % years receiye
themselves, all the benefits of their insur-
ance Some ofthe features so popular with
| This Association are.
1st. Endowment Insurance on the Mu
tual Assessment plan.
3D. Uniform membership fee only $1(
for any age or amount taken.
Sd. No annual dues, or other extra char
ges, whatever.
4th Return of all assessments paid in VI
to date of claim pro rata, TO the number o
irtifcates in force at that date.
5th. No division into classes.
9th Care in selection of risks, and stric
economy in its management.
7th. Charging the members for insur
.ance according to what they get.
The fact that they have as yet not had
loss, and are rapidly approaching larg
membership, shows that the plan is not a
experiment, and that good insurance ca
, be had at home where all the officers ar
known, and all the money kept within on
own State.
The officers are men of integrity and er
ergy, and we have this 20 say of our ow
> confidence in them and their plan that W
have taken membership in the associf
ton, and would heartily recommend GU
friends to do likewise.
Their Home Office is in Rooms 5 and
Capital Block, near the New York Store.
p S. Since the above was publised, I'll
membership has reached nearly 800. an
D the Association has had one death.
