WERE YOU BORN IN MARCH ?
March is on, sure, and about an aver
age sample. One that we know says
that wrestling with March is his special
ty. He ceritifles that he was born in
March and is thoroughly conversant
with all its eccentricities. Aud his birth
was on a Friday, a March Friday ! He
says if he were to be born a dozen times
again he wouldn't be born in March. He
is of the opinion that his birth has influ
enced his whole life to this day. One's
birth is apt to. He says that all March
happenings are a little off, and has a
baleful influence on the emotions. The
sun takes the opportunity for "crossing
the line," bringing over storms and tem
pests, angry winds and mad cyclones,
and tempers. It is the link between win
ter and summer, or, in fact, may be re
garded as the caudle appendage pf win
ter, and has a foolish way of wagging
towards spring which is alway coy and
tolerates no familiarities from such a
chilling presence, and has no willing lap
for lingering. A month of unending
unpleasantness, ice, mud, frost, squalls,
frost again, clouds, rains, snows, sleet,
through the whole round of perplexities.
Our friend had just had a trying exper-
ence. He had been out to the grocers on
a domestic expedition. Coming in he
slipped on a glacier of recent formation.
He dropped suddenly, but notwithstand
ing his celerity a dozen eggs that he was
tenderly carrying got there first. The
eggs immediately began to spread an
albumen plaster, thinking, probably, (if
eggs think), of bruires that needed atten
tion. But we forbear to go further into
this particular March unpleasantness
His verbal account should not be repeat
ed here. If bis words, uttered when he
arose, and contemplated his ex-position,
maw out wnen winter gives up its se
crets, and float on the spring breezes,
people will wonder what mad spirits are
abroad Our' friend puts up with what
cannot be helped. Which Is philosophy
He put up with this. . He had to. In all
mundane affairs and human relations he
has the American characteristic of mak
ing a joke of the kaliedesccpic happen
ings and odd freaks of a whimsical race,
extracting fun out of everything except
real calamity, which is better than cap
tions criticism and useless whining,
Joking aside, March is useful in its place.
So Is any means of gr-ce. It would be
missed out of the if knocked out; of its
place. So was Judas.
political matters.
... It is proper to say that local politicians
are beginning to think it "behooves"
them, and so forth. The municipal elec
tion occurs iifApril. Of course present
incumbents always are to be unseated.
In politics the outs, like stopped-out rats,
are always trying to get in ; it is impera

who by the way, is also in his 80th year.
He was also cousin to Mrs George P. Starr
aud Rufus L. Couch of Plumtrees, and

I have made several personal examinations of the
condition sf the company, the last inl October
last. I believe its affairs are being very jndi
biously managed, it is thoroughly sound and in
excellent condition. Ha customer has ever wait
ed a day for matured interest or principal; am
sure no company stands better at home, where it
has a large membership, as also with its patrons
everywhere. It has a steady growth of assets,
amounting now to near a million dollars. I would
recommend their securities as a safe and profita
ble investment. Their debenture bonds bring
less than one quarter of their assets, makes them
unquestionably good. For further particulars,
