sure is not stated. The presumption
however is that the new company
will be composed of and managed by
women who will do a general insu-
rance business, thinking that they
can succeed where men at present
ale failing. Let US hope for the sake
of the fair ones that they will not
give US another instance of the con
sequence "when lovely woman stoops
to folly" Women have tried to be
brokers, and tried to run stock ex-
changes. but money had thus far
been so little attracted by their
charms in the realms Of business
that both projectors and supporters
have generally been left high and
dry. A party of insurance men are
at present discussing the ADVISABLE
ty of forming an insurance company
to take risks on the lives of horses.
There is a horse insurance company
in London, which takes risks up to
five hundl ed dollars at terms not ex-
ceeding one year, and it is doing q
good business. There is no reason
why a similar concern, more liberal
ily managed should not succeed here.

Cincinnati News.
1t is pleasant in this day Of uni
versal scramble to hear Of q mar who
has actually and sincerely retired
from politics. But when it is such
q mar as Allen G.. Thurman, the
public will wish that it had been
some of it's other statesmen, some Of
it's farthing dips instead of the great
headlight. 1t is also sometimes the
case that the public will not allow
its serviceable statesmen to retire.
Indeed, these are the very men it
would like to have continue in its
service. Mr.. Thurman is a national
figure, whose courage, moral worth,
and great services are recognized by
the Democracy Of every State in the
Union. There was dark hour when,
as nearly as a man may be in this
country, where true popular govern
ment exists, he, along with the noble
Bayard, of Delaware, was almost the
hope Of this country for free popular
government and a federal system of
government. No grander figure has
appeared in the politics of this coun-
try than Allen G. Thurman when he
stood as the hope of a little band
stubbornly resisting Capitalization
and an obliteration of States by a
mad party. In that hour, backed
by an almost powerless minority at
the North and a sulled, determined,
solid, but inefficient South, greatly
at a disadvantage, he was for a time
the defender of principles which in
terested South Carolina and Mas
sachusetts alike. No battle was ever
fought with more determined cour-
age, with sounderjudgment, or clear
er perception of when and where to
yield and when and where to stand
firm as a rock. In that he was the
hope of Democracy, as nearly as a
man may be said to be the embodi
ment of q great principle. His broad.
liberal views and his thorough &C
quaintance with every subject ofleg-
islation, and ability to cast light up
!: on all subjects gave him power and
/ the respect of political enemies, and
; power was new better used fol
country and party. To his credit
I the only harmful criticism he had
9fduring his political career was when
eastern papers perverted and mis-
represented one of his ~inancia-
speeches in Ohio, which really was
. no abandonment of his previously
I expressed views and no modification
: OF them beyond what is the accepted
financial doctrine. When such mer
seek a private station the public viii
I wish to spare some less useful man
For himself he has done enough. HI
0 can not write his name higher o.
: again WELD an influence upon hi:
l country and his party equal to tina
{ he has welded, but he a serve hi
country still, and it may call 70
{ him.

The failures of business men in
this country the first two weeks in
January, this year, were 566-twice
as many as in the first two weeks of
any year for three years past. Add
ed to the recent failure of q couple
Of banks in the State of New York
and the still more recent failure of
Two banks in Jersey City, N. j., and
other untoward financial events,
these things point to a fulfilment OF
the predictions freely made in De
cember that the country is tending
in the direction Of a financial revo-
luton. Too many miles (11,000) OF
railroad YER built the past year and
too much manufactured goods pro,
duced-the railroads absorbing an
immense sum of money which has
returned no dividends and the ex-
cess Of goods Cutting the markets
and cheapening prices to a non-pay-

MAKE CHILDHOOD SWEET.

Wait not until the little hands are at rest
Ere you fill them full of flowers;
Wait not for the browning tuberoSe
To make sweet the last sad hours;
But while in the busy household band,
Your darlings still need your guiding hand,
Oh, fill their lives with sweetness
Wait not till the hearts are still,
For the loving look and phrase;
But while you gently chide fault
The good deed kindly praise.
The word you would speak beside the bier
Rails sweeter far on the living ear:
Oh, fill your lives with sweetness
All what are kisses on clay-cold lips
To the rosy mouth we press
When our wee one flies to its mothers arms
For loves tenderest caress
Let never worldly bauble keep
1 our neart from the Joy each day should reap,
Clrcling your lives with sweetness.
Give thanks each morn for the sturdy boys,
Give thanks Ior the fairy girls;
With dover of wealth like this of home,
Would you rife the earth for pearls?
Wait not for death to gem loves crown,
But daily shower Iifes blessings down.
And fill young hearts with sweetness.
Remember the homes whence thelife has fed,
Where the rose has faded away;
And the love that glows in youthful hearts,
Oh, cherish it while you mayl
And make your home garden of flowers,
Where joy shall bloom through childhood's
hours,
And fill young lives with sweetness.

Where it is possible to keep water

the thermometer may sink far below
the usual freezing point, aye, even to
twenty two degrees below, and yet
the water will continue in its liquid

But let even breath ripple on the
surface, let stone be cast in its
midst, aud on the instant the scene
changes the temperature of the wa

the liquid mass suddenly becomes
solid
1t requires lower temperature to
freeze salt or sea-water than it does
to freeze pure water, and in fact sea-
water would never freeze, did it moi.
in cooling, lose portion of the salt
it contains. That It does thus part
with the latter, is readily proven by
tasting, first, water obtaine by melt
ing of salt-ice, and then sea>water
which has not been subjected to the
freezing process. The difference in

the two will be readily appreciate.
