There is nothing that will build up a
town. enrich community and increase
convenlences like manufacturing interests.
Ever ybody knows this, and yet our town,
noted for its enterprising men. and our en-
tire community, noted for its Intelligence
and all other commenda5le characteristics
of a superior community, seem entirely
Indifferent to this matter. We desire to
see in our midst some great mapufactur-
ing interest that will bring more people to
the town and community to develop the
many resources of wealth around us. The
towns that spring up as by magic owe
their rise almost invariably to some great
manufacturing interest. We predict much
success to such an enterprise here if begun
and pushed vigorously.

Truth ina Circular,

We clip the following from business
circular because it contains good sense:
You have entered upon a life of infinite
possibilities and ofgrandest opportunities.
God has endowed you with faculties capa-
BILE OF indefinite development. You are up
on the arena Of life i'll ali age when true
manhood and efficiency are in great dc
mand, because your work will go far to-
wards shaping character for time and for
eternity, because your work and your
characters vii. GO far towards making the
character of our institutions and of our
government, net alone for the present but
for the future. The young men cfto-day
must, in few years, stand In all the res
sponsible places in life. They Will be the
governors of families:. They must con-
troll our educational and religious iustitu>
tions. They must make and execute the
laws for the protection and advancement
of society. Mechanical philosophy teach
es us that nothing is lost. Every sound
made is still sound treasured somew here
in the universe Of God. Every AT Is still
eXerting an influence for good or evil.
according to its character. Every morn,
ing when we go forth to our work We art
putting influences i'll motion that mus
Ipulsate through the veins of humanity
through all times and down an endless
eternity No thoughtful young man can
stand at the threshold Of life and sec fu-
,ure generations rising before him, ell
dowed with Immortality, and know that
their destiny will depend in great meas
ure uron the character of the young men
of the present, without realizing the nec~
esslty of discipline that shall create
we'll regulated homes and Christian man
hood Character Is imperishable. Every
thing else in this world will cruInbie UNI
Ger the corrodlng touch of tune. The
| lives and characters OF great Ine1. like
"A braham. Moses. Socrates. Shakespeare.
and Newton, will be read and studied
long after the Pyramids of Egypt are for
gotten.
Your opportunities bring great respon>
/
for what you are, but for what you ought
to be. You are not under obligation to
do all that for which you have ability to
do, but all for which you can acquire
ability to perform. The man with one
talent was condemned not because lie
had no talent, but because !ie did not &C
uuire another one OF course, we can do
no more than we are able to do at any
given time. but if endowed with one tai
ent we must gain another, for we shall be
responsible for two in time, and also for
the work of two. All great men became
great because Of acquired ability. There
must be the natur al ability as capital
with which to start. But men generally
have only enough natural ability to make
beginning, and along the line of we'll d.
,ected effort do they, day by day, acquire
more ability for their life work The
promise is that we shall have grace accor-
ding to the day.

STATEMENT.

TNHE undersigned, a Committee of Di-
Il rectors of the Equitable Life AS.
surance Society of the United States,
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approx.
ed forms of assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, Endowment and Tontinc po-
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by In.
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and surrender value; are indis-
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-Thc premiums on Tontine pO-
Icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
mulated profits IN cash at the end of a
stated period; thus, during his own life
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-EXpcricnce shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine po-
licies approximates to or exceeds the
amount of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontcstable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
6th-EXperience shows that the NOR
tality is lower among Tontine policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is a consider
able source of profit.
7th-Tontnc policies will be made
non-forfeitable under the laws of the
State, if so desired at the time the as
surance is effected.
Sth-The Tontine system is fair and
just; its accounts are accurately kept,
separate from all other business, the
funds judiciously invested and improv-
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly appoitoned.
9th-The Society has since its organi.
cation transacted larger amount of
new business than any Other company,
while its new business for the first half
of the present year is $1,750,00O larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $6O,00O,0O0; over $l4 OOO,-
600 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that of any
other company.
