The Company add a BONUS at stated periods to the
insurances for life. This plan of insurance is the most
approved of, and is more generally in use than any other
in Great Britain, (where the subject is best understood by
the people, and where they have had the longest experi
ence,) as appears from the fact that out of 117 Life Insu
rance Companies there, of all kinds, S7 are on this plan.
The first BONUS was appropriated in December, 1 ?41,
amounting to 10 per cent, on the sum insured under the
oldest policies ; to S) per cent., 7i per cent. Sec., Sec., oil
others, in proportion to the time of standing, making an
addition of $100; $67.50; $75, Sec., Sec., to every SIOOO,

per cent, on the premiums paid, and without increasing
the annual payment to the company.

THE FARMER'S DAUGHTER.
She may not, in the mazy dance,
With jewelled maidens vie,
She may not smile on courtly swain,
With soft bewitching eye ;
She cannot boast a form and mein,
That lavish wealth ha 3 brought her ;
But ah ! she has much fairer charms,
The farmer's peerless daughter!
The rose and lily on her cheek,
Together love to dwell,
Her laughing blue eyes wreath around
The heart a witching spell;
Her smile is bright as morning's glow
Upon the dewy plain,
And, list'ning to her voice, we dream
That spring has come again.
The timid fawn is not more wild,
Nor yet more gay and free,
i The lily's cup is not more pure,
In all its purity ;
Of all the wild flowers in the wood,
Or by the chrystal water.
There's none more pure or fair than she,
The farmer's peerless daughter.
Then tell me not of jewelled fair—
The brightest jewel yet,
Is in the heart where virtue dwells,
And innocence is set!
The glow of health upon her cheek,
The grace no rule has taught her—
The fairest wreath that beauty twines,
Is for the farmer's daughter !

Take courage, young man! What if
you are but an humble and obscure ap- ;
prentice—a poor neglected orphan—a j
scoff and a by word to the thoughtless ar.d j
gay, who despise virtue in rags, because I
uf its tatters. Have you an intelligent
mind, all untutored tho' it be ? Have you
a virtuous aim, a pure desire and an hon
est heart ? Depend upon it, one of these
days you will be wanted.
The time may be long deferred; you
may grow to manhood, and you may even
reach your prime ere the call is made ; but :
virtuous aims, pure desires and honest
hearts are too few and sacred not to be
appreciated—not to be wanted.
Your virtues are not always to be hid
den—your poverty shall not always wrap
you about as with a mantle—obscurity
shall not always veil you from the multi
tude. Bo chivalric in your combat with
circumstances. Be ever active, however
small your sphere of action. It will suie
ly enlarge with every movement, and your
influence will have increment.
44 In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb driven cattle—
Be a hero in the strife."
Work on, for suiely you will be want
ed, and then comes your reward. Lean
upon the sacred verity, '1 have never
seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed
begging bread.' Never despair, for the
lives of good men abundantly show that
often when clouds are blackest, and the
tempest is fiercest, and hope is faintest, a
still small voice will he heard saying,
'come hither —you are wanted,' and all
your powers will find employment. There
lore, take heart, young man, for you will
be wanted.
Be silent when the fool prates —he will
the sooner.

SLANDER.
i es, pasa 11 along, whether you believe
it or not—that one side whisper against the
character of a virtuous female. You say
you don't believe it, but you will use your
influence to bear up the false report and
pass iton the current. Stiange creatures
, are mankind ! How many reputations
have been 10-it by a surmise ! Flow many
hearts have been bled by a whisper !
; How many benevolent deeds have been
chilled by tbe shrug of a shoulder ! How
: many individuals have been shunned by a
| gentle mysterious hint! How many chaste
1 bosoms have been wrung with grief by a
single nod ! How many graves have been
dug by a false report! Yet ytu will pasa
! the slander along ; you will keep it above
the waters I v a wag of your tongue, when
you might sink it forever. Destroy the
passion for telling a tale, we pray yon
Lisp not a word that may injure the char
acter of another. Be determined to listen
to no story that is repeated to the injury of
another, and as far as you are concerned,
the slander will die. But tell it once, anil
it may go as on the wings of the wind, in
creasing with each breath, till it has circu
lated through the State, and brought to the
grave one who might have lived and been
; a blessing to the world.
WORKING IN DROUGHT. —Many aro
1 opposed to working corn during periods of
drought under the impression that, when
thu3 worked in dry weather with the
plough, which necessarily cuts up and
tears its lateral and fibrous roots, the pro
bability is that the blades will wither and
burn up, not because the earth has been
stirred, but because the plants have been
I unnaturally deprived of their means ofsup
i plying themselves with food and moisture
: from the earth, and because, by that ab
sence of rain, their power of reaction lias
been suspended, and they cannot re-sup
ply themselves with a new series of feed
j ers. Thus believing, we hesitate not in
; advancing the opinion, that stirring the
earlh with the cultivator is decidedly ben
eficial, in even the dryest periods, as all
' such loosenings of the soil serve to pre
pare it to absorb and condense the dews,
and dispense their refreshing influences to
the roots of the growing plants. If the
dews fall upon a hard surlace, the sun ex
; hales them before they can possibly do
any benefit; whereas, if the surface be
| open and in fine tilth, as a necessary con
sequent much will sink into the earth be
fore the evaporating power of the sun's rays
can disadvantageous!}* operate, and thus
will a moderate degree of moisture be
preserved in the earth at a time when it is
most needed.
j We learn, that during the last year five
j hundred and forty young ladies fainted
away on various occasions- More than
two hundred of them fell into the arms of
young gentlemen. Forty were caught by
their aunt's and grandmothers; and only
! one had the misfortune to fall on the floor.
—She, however, picked out a soft place to
fall upon and was providentially received
by an ottoman.
LOST THE BET.— A good looking and
jovial friend of ours, a day or two since,
related in our presence the following : At
one of our first hotels a stout, red-faced
gentleman, in a white beaver, blue coat
and buff vest offered to wager a 'ten spot'
that he could close his eyes, and simply
by taste naine any sort of liquor in tho
house. The bet was taken, and the pro
cess of winning or losing commenced
forthwith. 1 Thai is genuine Otard,' said
tho fat gentleman, tasting from a wine
glass—'and tins is—this is whiskey,' and
so ofif through the hotel's 'manifest,' of
hardware. A wag then poured a few
drops of pure water into the glass and
handed it to the connoisseur—'This is—
ah—ah—this is—(tasting again)—by thun
der ! gentlemen, I lose the bet. I never
tasted this liquor before /'—Boston Mail.
Our fair readers will bear in mind that
we are not responsible for the following',
and we only publish it to show our utter
detestation of the scandalous insinuation it
contains :
As 'charity covereth a multitude of sins,'
even so do long petticoats cover a multi
tude of shins ; to say nothing ot undarued
stockings.
'Dennis, darlint, oeh, Dennis, what is it
you're doing V
'Whist, Biddy. I'se trying an expari
ment!'
'Murder ! what is it?'
'What is it, did you say ? Why, its giv
ing hot water to the chickens i am, so
they'll be afther laying BOILED EGUS !'
A merchant examining a hogshead of
hardware, on comparing it with the in
voice, found all right except one hammer.
' Oh, don't he troubled, my honey," said
the Dish porter; " sure the nager took it
out to open the hogshead with."
" Father, what do you mean by raising
things in hot houses !" " Why, my dear
boy, you are being raised in a house too
hot to hold me sometimes."—The mother
seized a broomstick; but the man cut tus
stick.
