The whole chances could be worked

found that low annual premiums only

try marriage is much more frequent
than in Denmark, and both death and
marriage in this plan inure to the ben
eft of the insurance fund. The pos
session of an apartment-house by
the association, in some pretty suburb
of New York, would certainly add to
the attr%activeness of the plan, and
would only be a portion of the assets
of the company. A single lady, at the
death of her father, or when she was
of age, would thus find herself in pos
session of a pleasant suite of rooms,
with respectable companions, and in
the enjoyment of a small fixed income.
The class who now suffer most from
the commissions of business - single
and unprotected women Of well-to-do
families-would thus be sheltered and
cared for. Fathers who could not
spare capital for their daughters could
thus devote some portions of annual
income which would secure their flu
ture. We commend the Danish plan
to our insurance companies.

AMARI

If ever at the fount Of joy
Poor mortal stOops TO Oil his cup,
Still swelling fresh to his annoy
A bitter something bubbles I'M.
SO one sung sadly long ago
Sang how the fairest flowers amid.
Fen where the springs Of pleasure dow,
"Surgit amari aliquid."
And echoing down the vaults Of time
The warning sounds for me and you
In Latin verse. in English rhyme:
Twas true of old, to-day tits true.
All, brother. have you not full oft
Found, even as the Romans did.
That in life's most delicious draught
"Surgit amari aliquidy
You run the race, the battle fight,
And eager seize ut last the prize;
The nectar in its goblet bright
Is yours to drain meath beauty'S eyes.
Yet are these honors ont of date
They would not come when they were bid
The longed-to draught is all too late
"Surgit amari aliquid."
Or, haply in the cruel strife
You feully thrust Il brother down,
And with his broken heart. or life,
Purchased your bauble of a crown.
Wear 1t; but Of rcmorseful thought
In vain you struggle to be rid.
The triumph is too dearly bought
Surgit amari aliquid.
And so the cup is turned to gall,
The fount polluted at its source
Envenomed and embittered all
BY dull regret or keen remorse.
Well hast though said, y goddess sage!
From thee not all the truth was hid,
Though over on thy mighty page
"Surgit amari aliquid."

New York Times.l
Among the many applications of in
surance in this country, it is remark
able that that of a we'll known %associa-
ton of the higher classes in Denmark
has never been attempted. As the
United States approach more the
social and financial condition of the
older countries, the possibilities of the
future for a family, especially for the
daughters, appear more uncertain and
perilous. 1t is becoming increasingly
hard for a young girl to make a living.
The places for teachers are sought for
by crowds of applicants matrons of
institutions and house keepers are but
little wanted in this country, and the
situations are hard and ~disagreeable f:
in sewing and ornamental work the
competition is intense; and higher
kinds of work are but little thrown
open to girls and young women. Be-
sides, many a father is living with
comfortable income, and. almost
necessarily, bringing up his girls
to a more luxurious life than
that of a teacher, clerk, or seam
stress. They may, indeed, find
husbands, and they are, in fact,
preparing for married life. Still, the
chances for marriage are the most un-
certain possible. SO that in a city
like New York. and many others, one
more bitter care is added to the
many which press upon the father oil

ought to insure his life, and thus pro-
tect his family but he may desire to
afford a certain independence to his
daughters during his own life, in case
they do not marry. lie may not be
able to spare capital enough to pro-

scribes, in the interesting letter which
we publish this morning. a visit paid
by the general to his highness the
Maharajah of Jeypore, who, with only
a territory Of fifteen thousand square
miles, and subjects numbering nearly
two millions, has one Of the most bril-
liant pedigrees that the yainest of us
could wish. In comparison with that
of the maharajah the bluest Norman
blood Of England must turn pale. and
Kaiser Wilhelm's ancestry, which is
claimed to begin with 0din, sinks into

three hundred millions of gods. II
must, however, be taken into account
by the returning party that one can
trace his ancestry back a little too far.
That the Maharaiah traces his ances-

upon the monkey which is so deepl,
reverenced in his highness dominion,

is, after all, a little farfetched. Blu.
