A form of practical Inauranco against want i under advisement 111 this city, tn which a large portion of tho laboring people should be deeply Interested, 'says the Ilot.m Herald. A working-man is often thrown out of employment and re duted to great distress because helms little or no money laid by, and Is un able to provide fur hi board aud lodg ing while out of employment. It ha been suggested that a pcoplu's mercan tile company might lie formed among themselves which would undertake to provide IsMird and lodging with land lords at the rate of l, V or W a week, on such term that, after one mouth ol regular payment, ono week's Uianl al half pay might he placed to tho credit of the Interested party, to that if ho wcrcout of work or sick, or otherwise I dlnabled. he tnlghl not bo brought to I UlM'.uiilort Itecauso he could not pay his ' board. Al this rate In slur months n j man would bo entitled to one and a half ; mouths' credit for hoard, and In oue year to thri-o months' credit fur board, which, at half rate, would only cost hltn the price of one and a half months' board anywhere. This plan, if It could be carrleu out, would bo a great relief to hundreds of working Mopb' who are suddenly disa bled or compelled to be Idle. It would lie impos-dhlc furanyliody to fall rapidly in debt to such a comuy, and only In cum.' of extreme misfortune would persons bo willing Ui sur render their certain Insurance of f.Hid aud lodging, which would grow larrer as the year rolled by. A com pany uf thi kind would need to liavo a roiHmsmio nacaiqg in on or vo t secure public confidence, but though It ' baa never l i-i u attempted, It oould j easily be conducted on the baal which j is common to similar undertakings, l'a.ymeiita would bo u.nle to landlord ; tbe same a now, and the company, , after collecting twenty per cent, dis count every week fur a month, could af ford to give one week's orodit and do business on thai basis. The credit would not bo transferable except by connt uf the company of directors, and would be doall with by thorn in the same iiianuer as if they were a lifo In-' surame policy. When such a company wis established Its rnuge uf restaurant or lodging and boardliig-houaoN would ! be uch as 10 moot the want of all , cloMiaea uf Msiple.

It would thu' be a ttf Investment fur Individual without involving thuin In any personal 1 responsibility beyond what their regular IHtyments would demand.
