If winter were what, according, to idealists, it should be; we would have Crisp, deep snow, clear, cold days, and coinparative comfort until the bregking-up thaws; but, unfortunately, as everybody knowit, slush, siop, mud and an extra allowance of dirt, is what we have to expect for the next four months. The city has - been undeniably improved during the season just departed;' but, as in 'every great town, very much always remains to be done. ' Many of the street - crossings are merely nominal : ones, and others consist of but two rows of 'scattering boulders. The former we ban and 'must' put up with, be cause they , are irremediable just now; but thelatter, thought : on the part of the foot passengers may be rendered almost as goottas the better, ones. If peo ple only would keep to the right, and when thtoaret,' , , on the Tight, refuse tezi turn out for persons who are on the wrong side, things would be so much pleasanter. We have over and over again, seen two persons attempt to cross a narrow double creating, abreast, and we have seen women stand, expecting persons coating the other way to step out - in the mud. It is hard for a gen tleman not ,to step out of the way to let ladies pass ; but it is his duty to refuse to do it. When there are two 'rows of stepping Stones, no Lady will think of at tempting to monopolize both. If there is .but one row of Stones, of course, when he meets a lady, the gallant man , will take the mud. Literary Society. , The Mount Nebo Union Literary.

There, would, therefore, be little or no difference:of expense in the su perintenden4 anct management of oither, and the inmates 'more - likely to remain at the institution than visit the city at costs for recommituient. , ' Some inaccuracies Maui in describing the Brackenridge farm which it is deemed proper to correctlietated that there is "a good spring water bit -- the farm."

Every man having ethers . dependent • upon him for support knows that in no other way can he so surely pro vide for their future comfort as by secur ing such. an-amount of insurance aq his in-: come will allow him to pay for. Of course it becomes a matter of personal Interest to know where the most insurance can be, had for a specific sum. The National Life Insu rance Company of the United States of lAmerica, chartered by. Congress in July, 1888.-makes an:offer of insurance upon the ordinary , Life plan at extremely low rates, the prinelple of its operation being. that a smaller sum of cash in hand is. better for both buyer and seller than a larger amount based upon the contingencies of possible future profits or dividends. - For this small sum it guarantees a certain amount of in- surance, the contract between insured and insurer being too plain for any complica tions such as may attend the settlement of notes or dividends. This is arecommenda. Lion to start with, and if the Company is a secure ofie, its lovr rates will naturally be popular. .For this security ,we find. two strong guarantees: one is a paid-up capital of one million dollars, ample for all possible present liabilities, and the other is= the character of the managers of the Company, among whom are Jay Cooke, C. H. Clark, Hon. E. A. Rollins, Hon. , W. E. Chandler, and others of high national repute. It is not alone bY , its low cash rates that the new National Lffe commends itself to those con -templating insurance, for it offers, beside a number of novel and favorable methods by which the insurer or his heirs may reap unusual pecuniary benefit from. his or, her investment. These new featares—the::Re turn Premium (by which the . amount of all Premiums paid wilt be returned• to the heirs of the insured in addition ,to the amount fqr which he was insured), the Income.Produclug, and other 'plans—will be explained in detail by the agents of the Company, whose card may be found else. where. We can see no reason why thenew Company is not entitled, to a high , degree of public confidence. • The Weather.
