Bad Places.

Every city and village abounds with these,
and none are 30 easily enticed into them, or
naturally more curious TO see what is in
them, than our boys. Saloons with cur
tanned windows, dance-halls, beer gardens
billiard rooms, low theatres--into these are
the youth tempted. In them are drinking
habits formed, vicious companions met and
acquaintance with the ways of evil made.
For the purpose of seeing the sights has
many boy been beguiled into such resorts,
and thereby taken his first step in vice. A
mournful feeling comes over every thought
full observer when he looks at the places
nightly open TO the young, where the allure
ments of music, the attractiyeness of warm
and brilliantly lighted saloons, the "good
times" provided, the cheap entertainment
offered, all combine TO draw them in, and
then thinks of the few resorts possessing any
counter balancing charms, as yet opened by
the church or those interested in restraining
youth from frequenting the former. In this
respect Satan is by far the most enterprising
catering to those tastes in the young which
lead them TO desire amusement and socia
enjoyments, aud escape from the Loneliness
and meager comforts of their own houses OF
boaIding-places. 1t is easy enough TO SEE
the temptations Of youth in this respect
Over how many doorways, opening on to the
most frequented Streets could we write
"Who enters here leaves virtue and hope be
hind" Yet these doors open into the mos
accessible rooms, those first to be Lighted
aud last TO be darkened, wherein may b.
heard the click of glasses, the merry laugh
the sound OF oft-times classic music, tn,
tread OF the gay company in the dance
and 10 enter there are more enticement
than we suspect.

gay little ngure in a work -a-day gown,
Merry and sweet
Started at earliest peep o. the day,
Busily feet
with broom and with dust-pan, with mop and with brush,
with moiling and toling with hustle and rush,

Gazed on II with rapt delight,

And baned his questioning sight.

Perfect in every limb;
But the bearing was that Of the henchlnan

The brow was priests, who .pondered

A. C. BROWN,
rner of Main and State Streets

Corner of Main and State Streets,
the well known and popular General Agent for
Vermont who will afford all the information de-
sired brief recital OF the leading features Of
the organization md its methods will give a fair
idea of the perfection to which life insurance has
been brought in this country.
Two leading points have been kept prominently
in view, as furnishing the basis for all life in
surance that is OF any value, viz: Strength and
economy The very essence Of life insurance is
security. The risk must be all on the part Of the
insurer, the insured having contingency to care
for except that his premiums must be met. I'm
less it is as absolutely certain anything in
human affairs can be that the sum provided by
the pocy-holder for his family will be paid to
them, an element of risk enters into the transac-
ton on the part of the policyholder that vitates
the insurance. This security can be attained only
by intelligent and careful management on a sound
and wel-guarded system, and that is exactly
what distinguishes the Connecticut Mutual from
all other companies. 1t has made such ample
provision for such contingencies as have swamped
many weaker companies, that there is scarcely
any imaginable disaster that can seriously affect
it. During its existence the commercial fabric has
been several times shaken to its center and we'll
nigh wrecked the prayest commissions. sometimes
involving comnlete revolutions in the financial
and noitical world have taken place. vet the COM
nanv has gone on serenelv. having its losses
nrompt,v investing its surnlns carefully. nre-
serving its foundations and improyiup the super
structure. till It stands TODAY a monument of in
telligent management in the security 1t offers and
in the public confidence il has so fairly earned.
IL has maid To policv holders about $50. 900 600.
and has surplus OF about $50. 900 900. carefully
invested and forming an insurmountable contin-
gency. The total teceipts of the company from
its organization to the close of 1879 were si45-
500, 1902, and its total disbursements S9o 49,

per cent of expenses to receipts was only SO per

{. 81 per cent These figures are lower than were
ever reached by any other company. This is a
point of Importance, for as the policy holders are
the only stockholders, and their dividends de.

Seeing With Different Eyes.

Two boys went to gather grapes. One
was happy because they found grapes. The
other was unhappy because the grapes had
seeds in them. When it rains, one man
says :. This will make mud" Another
4" This will lay the dust" Two boys ex-
aiming bush, one observed that it had a
thorn the other, that it had rose. Two
boys eating their dinner, one said I" would
rather have something better than this"
The other said "This is better than moth
ing" A servant thinks mans house is
principally kitchen; guest, that it is prin-
cipally parlor. Two boys having bee, one
got honey, and the other got stung. The
first called it a honey bee; the other, a
singing bee. One man spoils good repast
by thinking of better repast of another.
Another enjoys poor repast by contrasting

The Leading
Mutual Company
-oF rHR-
United States.

The doubts and preiudces that once INSTRUCTED
the progress OF the life insurance business have
not been so long buried but men can still recall
instances that look extremely ridiculous In the
light Of latter-day knowledge OF the subject. 1t
Ia now recognized as one Of the best settled and
most important departments OF business talent
and II its influence on the welfare and progress Of
the nation and the enlightenment and improve
ment of mankind generally could be carefully
traced, II would be found among the leading con-
tributors to the present high standard Of mental
and moral training Thousands who would other
wise have struggled in comparative Ignorance,
have by its means been enabled TO develop their
their minds, to penetrate the mysteries Of science
and cultivate the beautiful and useful in art, and
are now among the leading minds Of the world,
helping IL on to still further achievements in the
field of knowledge II the story OF life insurance
could be fully told, 1t woodland does now among
| men OF ntegence-stand In the front rank Of
the great factors OF human progress.
The first ventures in the field Of life insurance
were made in search of profit, but gradually the
speculative feature has been subordinated, until
| now we have, In some OF the mutual companies,
institutions so liberal in their system and so be
neficent in their effect that they seem more like
great benevolent organizations managed by phil
anthropists for the benefit Of all who can be in
duced to take advantage Of the opportunities they
afford. This is especially the case with most OF
the Mutual Life Companies, which have no stock
holders, but divide their profits after providing
for a reserve fund, among their policy holders,
who thus virtually enjoy the same proportions as
the stockholders in other companies and share in
the earnings to which their premiums contribute.
Take, for instance, the Connecticut Mutual Of
Hartford, Connecticut established thirty years
ago. After more than a third Of century Of sue.
cessful management this company stands among
the very first OF its class and is an excellent rep
resentative Of all the best features Of the mutual
plan. Any one DESTROYS of getting facts in regard
