VYe are borned into the world; we turn around a few times, live a few short days, our heads grow suddenly white and we fall into the grave; yea we often fall before our heads are white, it is often the case now that human be¬ ings drop into eternity without a moments warning. How often do we see human beings exercise the most commendable wisdom in the management of their worldly af¬ fairs. They are men often with big In-arts, a tender chord is found hi them, but when you try to tell them of death and judgment they treat you with indifference. We are born to die we are passing away. He wise and live to-day. I — TT~ » . dn 1SII! VUINO V 4 > WERHII.T. 'a .o \Yeli-trained. Well-Behaved, Level-headed Millionaires. Cincinnati«'ominercial-Gazette.

These young men are exceptional characters. They .tinted in Tie path of life under the iron rod of their J remarkable grandfather, the u d j Cummodore. He didn’t believe in j iinyl.ody notch; and whe. Cornelius j end Willis m K. got out of short J I clothes he suit! to their father: I “Look a lu re, Billy.' ovs are no | , good: H ere s only one way to sax j j eui, a’ui that Is by putting rm | some tiring and make’em work like j tiie devil all the while. Now, stick these boys in somewhere, and m’,.. | ’em come dovoi to it. Don’t lot up ! on ’em ” * j : William H. was not half as hard and exflexil !e as his fa (her, but he was accustomed to mind that gentle¬ man—as obediert when he was forty i s when he was fourto.di- an ■ he knew perfectly w?i! ..,i it was better to kick a boy out of doors than to pet him and give him mon¬ ey; so he told the boys, as his father had told him, that they “must sup¬ port themselves.” Cornelius got a little clerkship in the 0ho6 and Leather Bunk when lie was 16, and for four years he got there as early as any clerk, and worked as late and as hard. Heal- ) ed himself no extra holidays, ml licither his father nar bis grandfather did nything to make his life t a- ler. During these years his uncle Tor¬ rance, going to Europe for the Com¬ modore, iuyjted “the youngster” to go with him, and the grandfather relented and consented. The boy delighted at the chance, , but . was the question of salary was involved He presented the matter to the President. “Dm can go, said that amiable functionary; “hut of course you will lose your salary $D)0 That settled it. Cornelius turned his hack on the temptation and de¬ dined to go. made When lip was twenty he was a clerk “at the bottom of the ladder” in the Hudson River railroad office, and his youngest brother, William i 5 -) was put at work (here the i ear. For more than eighteen now they have “bowed down to it” in that great concern, and they are far better trained than their father ever was in ail the details of the business. They are no fast men. own : no yacht. They care nothing clubs. They are content, wife up apiece.; to the j present time, with one They love their children, and each fctmily, filing into church, looks like a pair of gently-sloping stairs. They Eliey care care little little for lor fast last horses. They do not swear. One of them is superintendent of a Sun- day scoool, and both are deeply in- volved in the various charities of i the city. ornelms is first vice-pre-(dent and head of finance. William 1\., is second vice-president and master of transportation. Each knows lii g business thoroughly. The striking thing about either of them is that they work as hard as ii" .hey car aNcc»ia S£"£:r;S seniors of the house of Vanderbilt are about the most quiet, unussum- ing, well-behaved, well-trained un i Ieve ,. hefuIec j of the New York mil liomtres of the present. Value of Advertising. Newspaper advertisments are read while the advertisers sleep, The nian who advertises in dull times will never feel dull times, Advertising is the philosopher’s stone that turns mans’ wares into gold. A few gallons of printer’s ink spread over a newspaper will equal the services of an army of drum¬ mers. Printer’s ink has made more for¬ tunes than have ever been made on all the stock exchanges and in all gold mines in the world. A good name is Lett r than great riches, so said Solomon—hut Un¬ man who advertises liberally arid gets both the name and great riches. Farm Notes. Mr. L.

A SAVING of FIFTY por cent, and an INCREASE in security of ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY per cent.'s effected l>v tak¬ ing a policy in the Fidelity Mutual Life II OF FIIIUOEU'IIU, in place of a policy on the old level premium system. Twelve millions of insurance; Five thousand members; Eight years’ experience; Guaranteed and incontestable policies; Cash assets and indemnity reserve of $250,000; Expenses limited by contract,; Mor¬ tality fluids handled exclusively by Trust Co.; Four fixed payments a year—one for expenses and three for mortality; The lowest death rate of any Life Company in America; Cash surrender values or policies rendered self-sustaining at end of life expectation; Saving of 50 per cent in cost of insurance and abso¬ lute security, are points to which we call special attention. The business of the Fidelty is twice as much as it was in 1884, and the death rate is not any larger now, in proportion to the amount at risk,than it was five years ago. Ex-Governor J-hirtrant, of Pennayvtwia, Is organ- a Mutual.Company, in I hila- delaphia, and is consulting L. G.
