Tlie str- ' , lal system has been found In all rase, j to work well. II la better i-w an old ' , association to odd tbo serials than t" ' j elation requires some expense to run ' . it. Some of Ihcee expenses are not Ucj pendant upon tlie number of share a holders, and would therefore be at < ■ great for a small association as a large - one. It becomes a question, therefore. 1 whether sound policy would not rather t dictate that the preseut sasociatlun . should bo indoced to make a new ser- , les annually. The uo-scrial system r lias this objection. Justly against it. 1 j that parties wishing to come in and 1 become borrowers, are obliged to pay so mu(h for stock and premium, thai 1 but very little money Is left for tbem. 1 { This would seem to be sufficient to ' . drive to outside borrowing in pcrfer- . cure.

The life of an association la to have a constant j supply of competing borrowers, and it 0 will be found that these cannot he ilrpended on unless a new series of shares t Is created at least oace a year.— Bur- ' ? iisylsw Oast! u. * TllRSTAr.Ll.NU AND BOROUKK.— , • The Ottrland Hmikl, says: If Cell0 fonila has no mocking-bird, like the , J South, and no bobolink, like New Kng- • Laud, it nevertheless has Its starling. * The song of tho bobolink is a sort of 1 cewtacy,— "pure rapture," an Ike Mar- ? vri says,— the Inspiration of its fivor- > its dime In the Carolinas; and il sings 1 3 never so well as when swaying UillieI ly a wiud rocked bush.
