Charier Perpetual. CONTINUE to make Insurances un Lives on the most favorable terms; receive and execute Trusts, and receive Deposits on Interest. The Capital being paid up and Invested, together with accumulated premium fund, affords a perfect security to the insured. The premium may be paid in yearly, half yearly, or quarterly pat ments. The Company add a BONUS at slated 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, 1841, amounting to 10 per cent, on the sum insured under the oldest policies; to 8f per rent., 71 per cent. &c., on others, in proportion to the time of standing, making an addition of $100; $87.60; #75, &i\, Sec., to every #IOOO, originally insured, which is an average of more than 60 per cent, on the premiums paid, and without increasing the annual payment to the company.

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. There is a habit which boys teach each other at the Academy or College—a haliit indulged in when by him self, in solitude, growing up with the boy to manhood ; few of those who indulge in this pernicious practice are aware of the consequences until they find the nervous system shattered, feel strange and unaccountable feel ings, vague fears in the mind.

Some years since a gentleman residing in An derson county in this State, sold a negro man to a citizen of Middle Tennessee. The negro was removed to the home of his new master, but in a short time ran away and returned to Anderson county, and secreted himself for a year or more, in the neighborhood of his wife, but was finally dis covered and apprehended, and again taken to Middle Tennessee. He remained the second time until a favorable opportunity was present ed and again absconded. This was six or sev en years since. A large reward was offered for his apprehension. Diligent search was for a long time made, but no traces of him being dis covered, his running away had passed entirely out of the minds of all but his owners. A few days since, however, two men, residing in An derson county, by the name of Diggs and Low, were out with their rifles hunting game. Being fatigued and thirsty, for the purpose of refresh ing themselves, they concluded to go to a fina spring not far off. This they did, and up to the cabin, where there were several white women living. Diggs took his seat upon a bed, whilo his companion, Low, remained in the yard.— One of the women was in the cabin, and so soon as Diggs entered, she commenced a sprightly conversation with him, during which she ap- f >roached the bedside and let fall on the floor a arge butcher knife, at which, as soon as it struck the floor, the hand of a negro caught from under the bed. Diggs' suspicion being thus awakened he with great presence of mind, kicked the knife beyond the reach of the hand, and instant ly a huge negro sprang out, drew up an axe with both hands, and was swinging it over so as to cleave the skull of Diggs, when fortunately the force of the blow was so far checked by the axe striking 'the loft,' that all the injury Diggs sustained was a slight gash in his forehead, of four or five inches in length. Diggs cocked his gun, presented it at the negro's breast and fired , but the negro observed the precise posi tion of the muzzle, and placed the broad side of the axe before it, so that the bullet must neces sarily strike it, as it did. Diggs sprang upon the negro and grappled, but did not succeed in throwing him until the negro had struck him another severe blow above the eye with the axe. The report of his gun brought Low into the cabin just as Diggs threw the negro upon the bed. Low ran up immediately and with his butcher knife stabbed the negro three times in the side, sticking the knife each time as deep as he could. Finding that this did not vanquish the negro, who still struggled with Diggs, he placed his gun at the negro's side and discharged the entire load into his body. This overcame the negro, and he yielded, bleeding from every wound very profusely. Diggs and Low suppos ing that he must necessarily die, went out in search of neighbors, who, when they came in, discovered the negro still alive, and knew him to be the same negro so long 'in the woods.' The negro was removed to the Clinton jail, where he is now confined to await a trial for the assault upon Diggs life, the punishment for which, if he be convicted, is death ; though we learn there is no probability that he will recov er.—KnoxtiUc ( Tain.) Register. There's many a 'hook and crook' in the af fairs of life ; but the latest hooking process we have witnessed was a ehap on Monroe street the other day fishing for some rats ! Seated upon the pavement, he would drop his line and hook, baited with meat, into a cellar below, and in a few minutes up he would haul Mr. Rat, dan gling and squealing in the air. He does a fine business, catching ten rats in a few hours.— Wheeling Commercial. A DESPERATE LOVER.—A few days ago as a young lady was returning from a camp meeting, near Lancaster, accompanied by a gentleman, she was attacked by a rejected lover, who knock ed the gentleman down, hit his lady a blow in the breast, and then attempted to throttle her ! The furious lover was subsequently arrested. He would have made a pretty husband, had his suit been accepted ! THE MOUEL WIFE.— A lady in Albany the other day, washed the whole week's washing, hung the clothes out to dry, cooked three meals, made a pair of pants for her youngest boy, darn ed ber husbands stockings, had the cholera and cured herself, then dyed four dresses, all be tween the hours of 6 A. M. and 8 P. M.— Where is their another such a woman? Bring her along. Anguish of mind has driven thousands to sui cide—anguish of body few. This proves that the health of the mind is of far more importance than the health of the body, although both are deserving of much more attention than either of them receive. "The little darling—he didn't strike Miss Smith's baby a purpuss, did he? It was a mere accident, wasn't it, dear?" "Yes mar, to be sure it was, and if he don't behave himself I'll crack him agin." MAKING MISCHIEF.— A long ladder leaning against a house, a negro at the top and a hog rubbing himself against the foot of it—"g'way, g'way dcre—yo'm making mischief!" "THE PRF.SS — lt ex-presses truth, represses error, tin-presses knowledge, and op-presses none." We thought this too good to be sap pressed, and therefore publish it. Laziness grows on people ; it begins in cob webs, and ends in iron chains. The more bus iness a man has, the more he is able to accon plish, for he learns to economise his time. The less notice we take of the unfrindness ard injuries that are done us, the more we consult the quiet of our minds.
