And joint heirs with ttieir elder brother,

Weary with travel, and with heavy heart,

With utatt'.iiig nearness in the Syriai sky;
Tho tustling wing ot buds aad jvvii.i beast's
Alone disturbed the sylvan solitude.

He laid him down and slept; yet not alone,
For God was there, and Jacob knew it not.
In awful vision, on his stony bed,
Ho saw a ladder set upon the earth,
The top of which reached even unto heaven.
And ng and down las steps the angels went;
And God was at the top, aud blessed him
there,
Confirming unto him his promises
Made to his grand-sire aud his father, Isaac:
Aud told him he would keep him in all pla-
JPhither he went, and biing him back again
Into this land. An Jaacob worshiped there,
Bening a: raid, and said, this place is dread

Jac.b rose up converted, changed in heart,
And, going many days, reached Padan
Aram.
Fully twenty years he served bis nncle
Libau,
In boa; aud cold, Laban deceiving him,
As be deceived his brother, years agone.

He stole away from Laban unaware?,
Seeking his father's house. At length he
came
Unto t'i- fold of Jabbok. Thero two

To gujrd hiai o"i his way. And then he
heard
Avenging E.sau was beyond the brook,
With armed men to spoil his heritage,
And then to smite the mother with the
children.
Then Jaeob trembled with distress and fear,
And went to God in Prayer. Wrestling all

At early dawn Jacob prevailed ia prayer,
And God did hies htm. caUin? Jacob

And touched the heart of Esiu who in lor

Thus reconciled, thesa two, in after times,
Buried their father Isaac in Macphelah.
Twelve sons wert. born to Jacob, whom he
blessed
In his last days. But Joseph was the son
Of his old age, and him he loved the most:
For this his brother hated him, and cos Id

And jesph dreamed.
And in simplicity he told his dreams
Uhto his brethren, and they bated him
Yet all the more, and plotted for his life.
-Because his dreams did seem to signify .
His rulerabip o'er them and and all their

And thus for envy mingling with their hate,
They told him into Egypt, aod told acob

Insurance-
(Condensed by Raleigh Obsarver from Har
per's Magazine.)
AVe believe in life insurance and
would be glad to see every man of
family reasonably insured for the
benefit of his wife and children. The
methods of some of the companies
are, however, not free from objection
and a very strong article has recent
ly appeared in Harper's Magazine on
the subject written by Mr. Coan,
which has attracted widespread at
tention. The following resume presents the
points he makes. He boldly an
nounces that life insurance, a3 con
ducted in New Tork, during the past
twenty years, has insured only whole
sale losses, as a rule, to the premi
um-payers. Me HKewise aemonstrates
this proposition with facts and fig
ures. AVe learn from him that the
companies in the United States as
sure 2,70o million dollars on 1,1UU,
000 'lives, which pay about J.0G mill
ion aoHars annually in premiums.
"We also learn that since 1881 thirty
six companies have started, of which
only four now remain. Of the strong
and solvent companies that do re
main, the majority have coined co
lossal dividends by literal confisca
tion, for non-payment of premiums,
of the greater part of the polices
they issued. It is a demonstrated
fact that the average duration of
American policies is only about sev
en years; in other words, of tho poli
cies that terminate yearly, "only one
in ten matures by death."
The methods by which hundreds
of thousands of policy holders have
been frozen out are circumstantially
detailed, the whole contrivance be
ing a sharp practice of unspeakable
meanness. Further proof is given
that the ordinary rates are extortion
ate, a large share of receipts going
to agents, drummers and princely
salaries
He makes revelations of the inte
rior management of the big concerns,
and says that one president admit
ted receiving $525,905,25 in salaries
and extra expenses in eighteen years.
He urges that each applicant should
require the insertion of a clause in
his policy fixing a surrender value,
and advises taking an endowment
policy for a long term, bnt not one
requiring annual payments during
Hfe. -
He says our present system of life
insurance, in a word, needs radical
reform, or it will perish, and that
the public has intrusted to the com
panies a money interest that is far
too great for the honesty, ability
and prudence that hare been brought
to its management.
He insists that for the companies
of thei future a greatly decreased
cost of insurance, a decreased cost of
management, and summary punish
ment kof speculation must be the
rules. ! The comDanies should be
strictlyjmntual; there should be no
baiting of traps with dividends; the
companies must stick to life insur
ance, and leave dividends to the
banks. , , i-
Wg accept Mr, Coan's figures, arid
agree with him that in many partic
ulars there ahoald be a great- reform
in the management of some oi. the
companies. But we do not agree
with his deduction in every instance,
life insiuraece is composed of two
' il -1 -f rnmrnnird :
tne nsitj or naoiuty to pay, tsnxp
actual payments. Tf fairly adjusted,
the premium covers both of these
elements. What is risk is made evi
dent by, recalling accidental insur
ance, where a life is insured against
the hazzards of a trip across the
mountains. "After the trip is finish
ed the insurance terminates; but the
holder of the policy has received his
compensation for his premium. So
if one insures for life, and maintains
his policy for ten years and then per
mits it to lapse, he still has receeived
some compensation for his premiums
paid. There ought, however, to te
in such cases a surrender value to
the policy, and we understand that
in nearly every company there is now
allowed uch a return in what is
known as a paid up policy. Nor can
we agree with Mr. Coan that mutual
companies are neoessarilyjbetter than
stock companies; both kinds are
good, bad or indifferent; according to
their management and stock coinpa
nies are perhaps better looked after
than the purely mutual. What is ev-
everybody's business, is apt to be
nobody's; business, and mutual
companies are perhaps less economi
cally managed than stock companies.
The subject of insurance is one of
vast magnitude, in which, perhaps,
nearly even- family in tho United
.States is j either directly or indirect
ly interested. Whatever will tend po
perfect the system and cure existing
evils ought to receive mature consid
eration, Uut we should be careful not
to accept deductions that are fcbt
justified by known facts. The coiv
petition between the companies for
business is great, and doubtless there
has since! the war been much extrav
agance in the work of securing new
but business, companies that sought
to establish themselves by such means
--inn,. rnnnt part to have
come to grief, for only iuui uuu .a
the thirty six new companies have
been able to survive. The others
now in the field, we take it, have suc
ceeded to the business of these de
funct companies, and are, with but
few exceptions, on a strong and en
during basis. They are ail, we be
lieve, examined regularly by expert
insurance i commissioners, and if at
any time they show weakness or mis
management they are required to
conform to the law or to close up
their affairs. It is almost impossible
for a company whose condition is not
healthy to continue its business.
One of ithe objections made by Mr.
Coan is as to the amount of the pre
miums demanded. All companies de
mand about the same rates, which
are determined by a matehmatical
calculation, and we would have gaave
doubts about the ultimate fate of a
company offering insurance at pre
miums mtich below these establish
ed rates. The first thing to be con
sidered is jsafety also; and that is far
more important than cheap insur
ance, which in the end might turn
out to be very expensive because
worthless.
The Val us of Hen Manure-
If all thfe droppings from the roost
by hens be carefully saved in barrels,
and every spring and fall this man

soil or muck from swamps, and kept
a few months, its value is equal to
Peruvian guano, and may, I think,
be estimated at fifty cents per fowl
per annumi From fifty hens I save
about ten barrels of the pure guano
during the year. What I save from.

Ths Corundum Mines, Haocn Conn- :
i a t m 15
. ! iy iNcrm warouna.
Scion tiflo American.
These mines are situated . on the
Sugar Fork River, a tributary of tho j
Tennessee, nine miles from Franklin.
They are owned and worked by the
Hampden Emery Company, of Ches
ter, Mass. -A 'considerable part of
the ore is roasted for the purpose of
more easily separating the corundum
from ithe accompanying rock- The
corundum is then hauled sixty, miles
to Mt-1 Airyr- a station on - the Char
lotto & Atlanta Railroad. j : '
The first mine reached is an open ,
cut j It is situated on a steep hill
side, about one hundred foefc above
theinilL The vein, though qui to -irregular,
appears to' hare ajtddth of. ;
from three to four feet. ;
Tha corundam ia this .vela : is i''
closed in that varietry- of ohloi-'
called iripidolite and jouersito, assoc ""t
iated with tremolite and spinel. The
corundum occurs in both cleavage
and crystalline form, the crystals
often having N perfect terminations,
while many are transparent and con
stitutes the true Oriental sapphire,
ruby; emerald,, topaz, etc. Among
such gems have been found an emer
ald weighing 30 J carats, and a ruby
weighing 10 carats.
Two or three hundred yards south,
and apparently on the same vein, is
another opening of about one hun
dred fet in length;from which about
one hundred tons of ore h&vi bee a
taken. Lying on the east side and
unnmg parallel with this vein ; is a
ntinrions vein of beautiful hght
gray corundum in crystals, from the
size of a goosequill to that of the
finest cambric nendlo. , : 1
The jcorundum taken from - this
vein is so entirely free from foreign
matter that it requires very. little
manipulation to prepare it for use. !
At the top of the hill, and .two or
three hundred feet above the former
is still another open cut, twelve feet
wide and fourteen deep. In por
tions of this vein are found large
bypyrainidal crystals similar to those
from the Carnatics in the East In
dies. This vein appears ' to have
regular walling made up of tremo
lite, and carries corundum, Spinel,
and nearly all the varieties of chlorite.
Southwest of this and probably on
the same vein as the last, is another
mine which has been more extensively
worked than any of the others. The
vein is sixteen feet wide, and is un
covered for a distance of ten rods.
The varieties of chlorite associated
with the corundum contains water of
crystallization and exfoliates when
heated, rendering it more easy to sep- -arate
from tho corundum. Since the
llXbb JT"TTTTr I r
six hundred tons have baen
out, two hundred tons of this
taken
since
April 1J 1880.

Perhaps there is hardly any moro
useless jsreature in the world than
the pur simple snob, who has plen-j
ty of money and no particular em
ploymenfc As a general thing he
has inherited wealth, which is no
fault of jhis, but, on the , contrary, a
tiling wiich he could not help. The
snob is j sometimes well educated ;'
that is to say, he has been in a cer
tain way furnished witli something i
procured at schools and which : pas
ses for education, although : it does
not always store the mind with valu-j
able knowledge.-. This is very much
according to the use made of it in I
passing 1 through thesa educational
establishments. The ,enob is not
studious, i If he were he would not
be a snqb. His furnishing is that of
raiment and- jewelry rather than the
adorning of the mind. Having little;
to occupy him at home he has abun-:
dant leisure for travel, his preference
usually jbeing for" foreign countries
rather than what is to be seen in his
own land. There is more opportu
nity of putting on airs in a foreigri
country than there is among Ameri
can sight-seers. There are more
cathedrals and castles and picture
galleries and ruins in Europe than
there are in this country ; and. . it is
among these that the snob particu
larly delights to spread himself.
The snob is exceedingly happy when
toadying to titled foreigners, a thing
for which American . travel affords
little or no opportunity. ,

mouths of Americans; and in addition
to this, there is probably four times
as much cheaper material, such as
silver, platina, etc, used in filling
