Make in, urance on Lives at their Office, in Philadelp andat their Agencies throughout the States, at the _ °west rates of premium. Persons should insure their lives, and do so without delay, whilst they are healthy andlit subjects to,lie insured. In this Office there are adsantages greater than have ever yet been derived, faiii - the system of Liffi Assurance; which reason and experience convince the Trustees may with safety be offered to the public. It will he found, on inquiry, that most offices have in the outset professed to act on some . new principle; or to offer to assurers sortie size particular benefit not to be obtained from other societies But policies are effected under varioris circumstances, and with widely ditlilrent objects, and what may facilitate the views of one man, ;ill fords no accommodation to another, It appears, therefore, to the Trustees of the Equitable, that the greatest good will he effected by that office, which allows such reasonable advantages to every assurer, as at the time 'of completing his Policy, he considers to be suitable to his particular case. Oil this principle they act, and a few instances will suffice to show the benefits derivable from its adoption-Hthe greatest good of the greatest number. No policy will be 'disputed, unless under an act of fraud by the assure and after the same shall have been declared by rees of undoubted char acter. In ease of error, either as to age, or in the form of policy, or the answers of referees, such errors, unless wilful and fraudulent, will not lie deemed to' vitiate the policy. The travelling leave is extensive and liberal. Persons insured for life have liberty to pass to and from the States of Virginia and Keniuckv, and west of the river Alississippi, between the - first day of November and the first (lay , ot'July ffillowing. And to pass from any place or port within the British North American Colonies, or United States north of Thirty-four degrees north latitude, without pay ing an extra premium. They are allowed to cross the Atlantic in first class steamers (luring May, June, July, August and September, free or charge ; during remaining months of the year, 25 cents on each 8100 insured. The age of the assured will lie ad matted on lb. policy. If the insured die in a duel, by his owl hands, or under sentence of the law, such dead will not invalidate the policy, except so lhr as i was the property of the deceased. Thirty days allowed alter each annual paymen becomes due, and lilteen days alter each quarter! . and half yearly ,premium becomes due, without liar feiture of policy. Prepiums or lapsed policie. may be renewed at anky; ne within six months oi the production of satisfactory evidence as to th( health?:the insured. When . a party effects a policy upon the life o another; the CoMpany will he satisfied if the part,, had, at the time s a bona fide interest in the life o the assured. The policy may be assigned tn whom soever the assured pleases, without the knowledm of assent of the Company (there being no clause in the Equitable policies - usual in the. policies of Mu rues. Companies, claiming a right to be notified of an assignment and their approval obtained) so long as the assignment of transfer of a policy in the Equitable is a legal ;Mt, and the party who claim.. can give a legal discharge, the amount is paid hr the Company. The extraordinary advantage afforded by means of the Half Credit system, in not requiring, under any circumstances, an outlay of a larger sum of money than is absolutely necessary to secure the amount insured, is peculiarly applicable to the CREDITOR desirous of possessing a policy on the life his nEwron. If the debt is paid off during these five years, he can discontinue the assurance alto gether, having secured the amount, in the event of the debtor's death previously, at a less expense than would in any mutual office lie charged for assuring the life for seven years. If the debt is NOT PAID lie would be enabled to continue the assurance for the remainder of the debtor's life, whittever might then be his state of health. Attention is particulary re quested to the HALF CREDIT RATES OF PREMIUM Pea 3100 (Without security:or deferred note.) Half Credit. I Age. Half Credit. during 5 years. during 5 years $146 1 75 213 2 64 - . - The assured has to pay the premium in all cases in advance, and HAS NO LIABILITY of any kind, sort ar description. A deferred note is not neces sary to peifecf any operation, and none will be taken by the Company. Persons insuring should bear in mind' that a pro missory note given to a MUTUAL OFFICE at com pound interest, soon amounts to more than the sum assured. Thus, $lOO per annum for 20 years at 0 per cent., would cause a DEDUCTION teem the sum assured of THREE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHT DOLLARS AND FIFTY-FIVE CENTS. . . The premiums of Mutual Assurance Companies being, as they profess, (though the Mutual (Mires "do somehow" advertise guarantee capitals) free from the burdens of dividends to shareholders, should be very much lower, than those of stock companies ; YET THE EQUITABLE IS ToWER BY SIX TEEN PER CENT. THAN ANY MUTUAL OFFICE., and at the SAME RATES OF PREMIUM charged by "New• York Life," "The New York Mutinn," "Albion," " Worcester_ Mutual,'; '• Connecticut Mutual," " Pennsylvania,' " "Girard,'' " Penn," "New England," "Hartford," "Baltimore Mu tual," "Boston Mutual," &c., &c., &c., in the Equitable the payments cease altogether alter twenty-one years.

The premiums charged by the MUTUAL OT lIC ES are all on the highest scale, (and by their oum ad vertisements) much beyond what is requisite for We purpose of their business. Their "profits" can only be realized, if ever realized at all, after a lapse of twenty years. The word Profits, therefore, is an abuse of the term, A WHOLLY CONTINGENT AND REMOTE PROMISE, for it is self-evident, and cannot for a moment be ques tioned, they must suffer logs by every insurer who dies before the amount paid by. him in premiums, with the acctunulated interest, shall be, equal to the - amount of his policy—nevertheless, in the Mu tual Offices the " profits" (771) are to be shared in by the representative, should the insured die IM MEDIATELY after one or two payments. - By the diminution of the premiums in the Equi table, THE GREATEST PRESENT BENEFIT IS SECURED to al persons assured by this company; whilst those who wish to participate in the profits call do so, by the purchase of the reserved shares, (first instalment, IO dollars) which at all times afford a good and really profitable investment for capital, beside a vote for each share. This nation the Trustees conceive must commend itself to the judg ment of every unbiassed inquirer, being based on the broad principle of equity ;tind securing to all the members, the advantages to which they are justly entitled by their actual payments; without opera ting to the peculiar benefit of old standing members, or placing recent entrants at a disadvantage—a combination presented by no other office than the Equitable Life Insurance Company. THE ACTUAL MONEY BONUS given by the Equi table, saved, is upwards of 15 per cent., at the time of efibcting the insurance; OR IN - ACCORDANCE with the SCRIP BONUS OF A MUTUAL OFFICE; THE SAVING IS -EQUAL TO , TWO lIUNDRED AND FIFTY PER CENT. PROFIT SCRUM o:fr - Pamphlets, tables of rates, lists of agents, - obtained at the office, 74 Walnut Street, or from the agents throughout the United States. The public are requested to examine careffilly the Prospectus of " The Equitable" before insuring elsewhere. JNO. W. CLAGHORN, Pres't. FIIANCIS WEST, M. D. } Medical Examiners, J. B. BIDDLE, M.

Seltz's Safety Bridle Bit. THIS is a safety Bridle Bit invented and secured by Mr. Henry Seitz, of Marietta, Pa. This Bit is expected to supersede eventually all others, either for riding or driving, combining, as it does, the common snaffle, so arranged with the pulley, as to give any person perfect power over the most vicious or frightened horse. It obviates the objec tions made to the severe bits now in use, which front their painful action, often make a spirited horse rear, kick and try to run away, This bit is pleasant in its action on the mouth, causing no pain whatever, and has the r.quisite power when wanted —no horse having been band able to resist it. The operation is as follows: The rein is hooked firmly to the saddle at A, passing through the loop C, into the bit over the roller at B, and securing it fast to the ring D, which prevents it from drawing back and forms the check rein now in use, and to which the driving reins are buckled and pass back to the driver. For horseback, the loops and rings are dispensed with, the rein being continuous, form ing two reins, one of which is thrown over the saddle horn or strapped to the pummel, and the other to the rider's hand—both reins can pass duo' the rings of a martingale. For ladies it is particu larly recommended on account of its safety and power, as a horse is by no means able to throw his head sufficiently low to kick. For double harness the reins should pass from the Ist horse over to the hit of the 2nd, through the bit and back to the the saddle piece at G, of the Ist horse—platting the reins as they cross each other between the 1101SCS.. Horses have been successfully driven with this hit, that were set aside as beyond management as harness horses with ordinary . severe bits, from the habit„or invariable practice of running away in spite of the utmost endeavors of their driver—now they are good and serviceable horses. The Bits are manufactured only by HALDEMAN St SEITZ, of Marietta, Pa., who will attend to all order 3• concerning the sale of the same. The patent right of this invention has been secured, and rt is coming ilist into use. The undersigned is the Agent for Lancaster county, of the above Bit, and feels warranted in recommending it as a valuable-invention. He would refer to the following persons, who have it in use: John Furry, Manor; Henry Spiehlman, Jr., Stras burg; Jacob Stahl,. Dr. J. Cushman, Marietta. There is no necessity to multiply references, as tine Bit recommends itself, upon inspection. For sale, Wholesale and retail, at manufacturers' prices. GEO. M. STEINMAN, Lancaster.

And o'er my ravished ear its music rolls, For there is strangest ministrelsy to me Within thy depths, unknown to coarser souls Who hear nought but the sensual tones of Earth My spirit tuned to thy harmonious song, Is phrensied with the melody and breath Of thy wild lay, whose birth Was in the dim and misty Eld, where throng The spirit forms of ages rocked in death ! Upon thy restless waste 1 gaze afar— For I do love to make thy breast my home, To wander where thy sleepless billows are, And where thy blue and watery mountains roam. And I have joyed to hear the night-winds sigh, That gathered howling round thy chainless form, For they have whispered to me songs unheard Before by earth or Sky, While o'er the Ocean broke the wrecking storm, And onward swept with fear the wild sea-bird. Perhaps the very wave that on the shore Is breaking now, in other times was curled, When on its breast the storm-rocked vessel bore • The Genoese who sought a Western world. Perhaps its silvery spray his footsteps laved, As on the virgin sands he proudly trod, • And high amid those boundless shades all wild His glittering banner waved, And girt with majesty he seemed a God— A Titan• God unto the forest child. Or e'en that snowy crest rose up, perchance, Amid the breeze when from the shores of Spain, The huge Armada bore the warrior's lance, To Northern seas across the angry main; And as the Sea-king from his coral cave, Saw its grim form so gayly sailing on, And caught it down into his cavern dear, While wave hugged brother wave, The very one that swelled when all had gone, Perchance is that which now is dashing here. Then break, thou proud and melancholy wave, And beat thy bosom on the rock-bound shore, Thy empire rose when God its fashion gave To slumbering Earth as': Chaos brooded o'er. With never ceasing thou r'ollest on, And springest up all crowned with life-like foam, Like sonic bright airy thing from fairy land, Or like some startled lawn Pursued by raging hounds trom glen and home, And scornful of its hot-pursuing band. We take the following extract from an address delivered by Dr. OLIN, before the students of the University at Middletown, Conn. The address is said, by those who have read it, to be a most ad mirable production. The extract below is pecu liarly appropriate to the times. Always be ready to avow your principles of action. Scorn concealment. Put out your true colors,to the gaze of men and angels. There is a false prudence, a mock modesty, which inculcates the opposite method. It discourages confession, as savoring of ostentation, and would have us leave the world to infer the existence of virtuous princi ples from our conduct. In most instances this is but a poltroon's expedient. to avoid responsibility, to save convenient position for treachery or evasion. It is well and safe to stand committed to the right, that the world may know, in advance, where you will be found in any lay of trial ; and it is a re flection upon a good man's intelligence or integrity to have his opinions and principles forever unsettled or in doubt. Society has a right to know what it may expect from him, and justly suspects him of interested and dishonest aims, when he chooses to remain undecided and uncommitted till suffrage has announced the safe way. Educated men are the natural sources and guides of popular opinion, and they are bound to stand forth boldly, to battle with prejudice, and breast the inundation-of passion, though at some risk of being swept away by its fury. The principles of the educated, active, influential men, of every com munity, generally become its public sentiment. This living embodiment and expression of reason, truth, and righteousness, acts upon the multitude with vastly more directness and efficiency than books of morals and religions; and as it constitutes the most effectual method for the formation and vigorous maintenance of a sound public sentiment. so it is chiefly relied upon for that function. On this account it was that the laws of Athens held that any citizen was an enemy to the State, who remained a neutral in any important crisis or question of general interest. The Redeemer of the world has given to this equitable principle the sanction of religion, and it is only they who con less him before men, whom he will confess before the angels in heaven. Let every one who would not become a mere puppet and time-server, beware of feeling more solicitude for promotion than he does for his prin ciples. If they are to lie put down, it is a misfor tune and a snare to rise, and he should blush and suspect himself a knave, who is conscious grudg ing the sacritice which it may cost him to be an honest man. No valuable ends besides those of a selfish or profligate ambition, can ever be secured by such dishonorable successes; and any but a weak or unscrupulous man will prefer to bide his time, and wait for more auspicious days, when God, whose attributes ever side with the right, will pluck its drowned honors from the deep, and make the conscientious and the brave sharers in its triumphs. Whoever covets promotion while his principles are under the ban, must fall back upon the expedients arid resources of party, which is al ways framed and held together by compromises in which principle is sacrificed to policy. Into this turbid maelstrom, from which virtue and conscience never came forth without a stain, good, but am bitious men, of facile morality and feeble purposes, are ever ready to plunge.

And has labor become disgraceful? Is the name of a Printer a reproach in the land ! We cannot believe it. Whoever gains a livelihood by toil, is a nobleman. Let those who scorn the laborer look back to their grand-fathers, and they will see noble men after the make of Cod's own hand—men who stood and sung among the waving corn—men who wore their, human nature like a crown !

He wrote several works against Christianity, one of which, profanely entitled ".dllen's Bible," has caused the ruin of many a young man, impatient of religious restraint. While seated in his quiet home, glorying in the independence he had so bravely contributed to pro cure, and exulting still more in his imagined tri umphs over religion, he was suddenly called to the death-bed of a dearly beloved child. She had been well instructed by her mother in the principles and duties of Revealed Religion, and at this trying hour it afforded her not mereliconsolation, but triumph ant joy. When her, father, whom she had regarded with respect and - affection, arrived, and was bending over her couch, she threw her arms around his neck, and with a look of unutterable kindness said " Fathu, I am dying ; tell Inc, shall I go into eternity believing your sentiments, or what my mother has taught Me ?" The veteran, whom no argument had ever sha ken, who had stood unmoved in the battle-field, sur prised by her heavenly serenity and confidence, tremblingly replied :—" My daughter, my dying daughter; believe what your mother has taught you." How utterly worthless, at that moment. must have appeared all his boasted reasoning against a reli gion. which could thus give victory in death, by bringing life and immortality to light, and who in such circumstances would not say, " let me die the (loath of the righteous?"

Some years since, when a scarcity of grain pre vailed in Connecticut, a poor man, by the name of Crooker, went to a rich farmer, whom he knew to be possessed of a surplus of Indian Corn; and ten. dered him the highest price for a bushel of it: but the farmer, refused to sell, pretending-that he had none to spare, whereas, it was evidently false; and that he only arded it for the present, in order to starve buyers into the necessity of giving them the extortionous price they wish to take. Upon this Crooker gave him his true character, in which, it seems he did not take the name of God in vain. _ .. • .. However, the farmer immediately arraigned him for abuse before one justice Hyde. And when our pauper was called upon to answer to the charge, and make his defence, instead of attornies and law books, he produced only a Bible (for Bibles were then regarded,) and read a passage which says, "Cursed is the Man that withholdeth Corn from the Pocr, yea, and the People shall Curse him." Here he argued, that he had done no more than what God had authorized, and expressly commanded: and, turning to the old Gripus, who had prosecuted him, he said, here you see, " God Curses you! and Curse you! Do you Curse him too. Esquire Hyde, for one of your Curses are worth two of mige." EPIGRAMS-FROM THE GERMAN Who noble is, may hold in scorn The man who is but nobly born.

I:E= During a brief term of missionary service in which I engaged some' years since, I met with a family whose history, and especially an incident it, affords another striking example of the degrading influence of intoxicating drinks. Upon entering their wretChed abode; I perceived at once that was in a drunkard's home. The hovels of the in temperate have an aspect too well known to need description. Upon engaging in conversation with the different members of 'the family, I round that with one exception they were all suffering from-the effects of recent indulgence. The father, a man quite advanced in years, and a son who was just in the prime of life, were too far gone to make a sen sible reply to my questions, and when they volim teered a remark it was humiliatine to listen to it. A daughter-in-law, who had an infant in her arms, showed by her idiotic stare that she too was besot ted with. rum. The mother alone did not give the evidence of recent indulgence; but even she, as I afterwards learned, had long been addicted.to the degrading vice. Finding very soon that I could not benefit them by tarrying; I left it. The only one who was in a condition to profit by a religious conversation was altogether averse to entering into it. Of two neighbors, one of whom was an elder in the Presbyterian church; I learned the following particulars: Several years before, the father of the family was the owner of a large farm situated in the vicinity of his present abode, and was prospering in the world. Like multitudes of others, he became ad. dicted to intemperance, and his farm was no longer able to yield him support, and afford the means of gratifying his unnatural appetite. It was mort gaged, and the money thus obtained was spent for rum. Soon it became necessary to sell the farm, and the balance, some hundreds of dollars. above mortgage, being paid in ready money, was in a short . time expended for that which was fast ruin ing his estate, himself and his family. He had now become a confirmed and degrading drunkard, living only for the gratification of his vicious thirst for strong drink. His wife, too, once his bosom friend, became his bosom companion in his de bauchery. Nor did his influence end here. He out only taught his children, by his example, to court the vice, but he compelled them to drink. unlike most parents who are drunkards themselves, he seemed desirous to render them as degraded as himself. One only out of a large family, broke through his father's influence, and he became a respectable and a respected member of society. The rest, male and female, fell under the influence of the destroyer. Incredible as it may appear one of his children actually died of intemperance, a miserable drunkard, at the age of twelve years. While he was in a dying condition the father sent for a supply of the poison which was causing his death, and when he breathed his last, the family was in a state of beastly intoxication. His body remained upon the bed, in the same state in which he died, for a day or two, and nothing was done, nor were they able to do anything to prepare it for burial. A neighbor, accidentally having prepared a coffin, placed the remains of the child in it, and the family started for the place of burial which was more than a mile distant, taking with them the jug of ruin. Arriving at the grave-yard, they found that no grave was dug. Obtaining tools, they went to work to prepare one, stopping fre quently to make a drain upon the jug. This was soon exhausted, when one of the number was des patched for a fresh supply. Again they commen ced digging„ and they dug and drank, and drank and dug, until a grave was opened, into which the coffin was placed, and having hurriedly filled it up, they all returned in a state of intoxication to their miserable home. Such facts show. how completely the (lemon of intemperance not only blights the fairest prospects, and brings ruin and disgrace upon families, but also roots up and tramples upon all tender sensi bilities and affections of the heart. Under its influence fathers, and mothers too, become monsters, and losing all sympathy for their own flesh and blood, can revel in debauchery around the dying bed and lifeless remains, and on the grave of their offspring. It is worse than brutalizing in its hellish influence. A Warning to Young Females. Many years ago, an aged clergyman related to the writer the following dreadful story of a young lady, a member of his church. She was very pre possessing in her manner and had many admirers. Among them was one, who won her affections; but before she gave away her heart irrevocably, she thought she would consult her pastor. She asked him his opinion about it, and he answered her by. asking this question: "Does he not drink too much?" She answered, "he might have done so formerly, but he has reformed." "How reformed?" "He now drinks very little, if any." The old man could see larther than she, and said, "I advise you not to marry him, because he will very likely become a drunkard; this habit will increase upon him, and before he or you are aware, he will be a sot." Love proved more powerful than the old pastor's faithful warning. She married. She trusted her influence would draw him away from his evil habits, whatever they might be. But "Hope told a flattering tale." She found, to her sorrow, that love had little power to win him from his cups. Alter a while they - moved from his neighborhood and he lost sight of them for many years. In the course of a journey, he passed a day or two in the neighborhood of their distant residence. He there learned his course of life, and the end. He continued to drink, until he would often have the deltimm tremens, and required three or four neighbors to watch him, to prevent his destroying himself. During the fits which lasted three or four days, the moment he slept soundly the - fit would leave him, and he would slowly recover. But the appetite was so strong upon Iffin that neither the horrors of this disease, and the love, if he had any remaining for his wife and little ones, nor even life itself, which he.must have been aware would have been the final sacrifice if he did not quit, could prevent his return to his miserable . - course of intemperance. At last God seemed to give him up. Just before the visit above spoken of, he had another terrible attack of the delirium tremens. Four men were watching him. His wife was lying down in the kitchen, his little boy in,his room. About 12 o'clock at night he feigned him self asleep—the men supposing that, as usnalf his fit would now leave him, went home. In a few minutes after they were gone, he arose from the bed, and his little son knowing there was danger, slipped out of another door, and ran as fast as he. could to call the neighbors who were a:quarterof a mile distant ; they returned as fast as theycould. When they came near they saw that all was dark. And as they entered the kitchen, they heard some thing fall, as if in a puddle of water on the floor. When they procured a light, they found this was the last motion of life in the poor inebriate, as his leg had risen and fallen in the gulags of death in his own blood—for he had cut his throat—and on the same floor was found the remains of his poor worn out wife, hacked to pieces with au axe.
