Did you ever lose yourself completely thinking of questions yon eonld not un-derstand-float so far away in a universe of speculation that itseenied an absolute pa in to come back again to the little, limited world in which you lived Certainly yon have, fbr we- all have. It is singular, too, how we get our first start. Home random remark in tbe conversation, some wild shot at »n Indefinite mark, gives as the first Impetus, and before we are aware we have drifted beyond all bounds and are on a sea as shoreless as the space the stars float in. It Is rather pleasant while it lasts. The imagination is so active and buoyant, and withal there is a sensation of subdued audacity that makes the exercise quite agreeable.

I have noticed that such conversations come at the most unexpected times. In ifcet if you set yourself deliberately to plan and produce one the effort will come to naught But now and then you will stumble into the very middle of one and find yourself working forward and backward, and sidewise, and up and down and every way, vainly striving to get to the beginning or the end or to some bound or limit semewhere and failing flat for your pains. Down at last you oomo with a thud among the fkdts and realities you have lived among all your life and which you are, alas! bat too familiar with. Hero, at least, you feel safe. There is no room tor doubt or questioning. Whatever may or may not be, might or might not have been, shall or shall not be, these things are and yon know it and these are tbe things, after all, that you have to deal with.

It Is not bad to take aa excursion now then to that land of speculation. It will do one no harm if he does not stay there too long. If he does, however, and broods and dreams on what he imagines might or should be, forgetting what is, it will be the worse and not tbe better for him. It is possible to think so much and so intently on what is above and beyond ns as to become insensible to tbe things among which we live to fly so high and long as to forget bow to walk.

Desdemons and I had stumbled into snch a conversation the other evening, unintentionally and without premeditation. At length when we began to feel that we had got about "to the end of oar string," and to be half provoked that we had set out on the vain chase for the beginning and tbe end of things, Desdemona, casting a contemptuous look at the pencil and little pair of scissors, and bringing her clenched fist down on the deak, exclaimed: "X foel just now ax !f I should like to .-'iwtruct a universe and control tbe desUiij.es of Creation

Ambitious atom!" I orled. "And do you suppose that would satisfy yon? Would not your one universe appear narrow and limited when yon reflected that there were many other*, and ffcst if you had tbe many others# tberfe would still be nany more?"

Yes," mM Dsadsmom, "ft would be so." And tfeen, dropping with such lightness as snly woman

.1 COUNTERFEIT JZTNA. [From Spei t'or for Januar-, 1874.] We have nuiijed flrom time to time the efforts of a parcel of adventurers in Illinois, to trade on the name of a great and honorable tire insurance company of the east. "The ^tua" has a tine old substantial souftd about it, and peradventure there are rural people who may think all iEtnasare one, or that thev bolong to the same decent fluniiy. when chevalier

We nave caused diligent inquiries to be made and have heard of but one person connected with this bogus /Ltna who has had any previous training in the insurance business, and Aw record has not been brilliant. Several of the officers and directors have real estate antecedents, but we have yet to learn that speculating in corner lots fits a man to manage an insurance company. Everything about the office of the secondhand ^Ktna has a dubious and pinchback appearance,—the managers, the assets, tne circulars soliciting agentseven the signs which blazon forth the company's pretence to the passing Chicaeoan. According to a statement published November 28, the assets consist of cash in bank and in office, $41,187. Loans on bonds and mortgages, §124,000 office furniture and personal property, 9813. Total assets $166,000.

Now we have reason to believe,that the alleged cash in bank was only borrowed fbr the time being in order to secure a certificate from the Illinois department, and cannot now. be drawn against, and the mortgages held by the company are largely over-valued—in short tnat there is little or nothing tangible in the concern that a loss claimant could attach. We want to know if the citizens of Chicago intend to keep this knavish thing alive, and by means ot their premium contributions furnish the officers and directors with comfortable salaries. If they do they deserve to be gulled. In the meantime let supervising officials be on the look-out, for this wildcat is seeking game in other states. {From SjMCtator for February.]

The Chicago papers print a list of the directors of the counterfeit JEtna insurance company, elected at a recent supposed meeting ot the stockholders. An odd feature of the list is that of the nine directors, eight are salaried officers, and the ninth is a brother-in-law of the president. Another odd feature is that but one of this close corporation, Mr. Cutler tbe secretary, is known to* have any experience in tbe insurance business. Perhaps it is expected that the magic of a name, purloined from a great company will stand in the place of insurance knowledge in tbe procuring of business. The statement made to the Illinois department by the company and sworn to before one of its own officers who happens very conveniently to be a notary public, also has some odd features. The premium income is put down at exactly $1,550,00, and the expenditures for salaries, commissions and office furniture at exactly #1,550,00, which shows that there must have been a close shave in the office. The bulk of the assets is represented to be In loans on bonds and mortiges. An examination of the mortiged property would probably reveal some further odd features. Upon the whole there is an oddity about this counterfeit JStns which makes it extremely donbtfUl if the insuring public will fiku wildly in love with it. we understand that it is doing a surreptitious bttxfnoss in the state ofJiew York. This gives the correct measnre of its character, for If It were trustworthy it would come honestly into the Mate and comply with the demands of tbe law.

TheBpoeiator Is published at 161 A 168 Lssalie street, Chieago, and No. 16 Dey street, New Yet*. Ix»ok out for this wildcat, for It will be offered freely is the country, ami to the more inexperienced In Insurance matter.
