Make II ruance on Lives at their (Mice, inthiladelphs, andat their Agencies throughout the States, at the owest rates of premium. Persons shouldssinsure their lives, and do so without delay, whilst they are healthy and fit subjects to be insured. In this .Office there ate advantages greater than have ever yet been derived from the system of Life Assurance; which reason and experience convinec the. Trustees may with safety lie offered to the public. It will be Ihund, on inquiry, that Most offices have in the outset professed to act on some new principle; or to offer to assurers some one particular benefit. not to be obtained from other societies But policies are effected under various circumseances, and with widely different objects, • and what may facilitate the views of one man, al% Ibrils no accommodation to another. It appears, therefore, to the Trustees of the Equitable, that the greatest good will be elibeted ,by that oilier, which allows such reasonable advantages to every assurer, as at the time qf completing his Policy, he considers to he suitable to his particular C:tlie. On this principle they net, and a lbw instances will suffice to show the benefits derivable from its thlOptiffil—the greatest good of the greatest num her. • Nu policy will be disputed; unless under au act of feted by the assured, and alleiwthe same shall hove been declared by relerees oh' undoubted char acter. In ease of error, either a's to age, or in the • form of policy, or the answers of relbrees, such errors, unless wilful and fraudulent, will not lie deemed to vitiate the policy. The Aravelling leave is extensive and liberal. Persona insured lbr life have liberty to pass to and from the States of Virginia and Kentucky, and west or the river_ Mississippi, between the first day of November and the first day ofhily following. And to pass front any place or port #ithin the British North American Colonies, or Uyited 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 during May, June, July, Atigust and September; free of charge; during remaining montha of the year, 25 cents on each $lOO insured. The age of the assured ,will be admitted on the olicy. If the insured. die in a duel,by his own hands, or under sentence of the law, such death will not invalidate the policy, eicept so far as it was the property of the deceased. Thirty days allowed after each annual payment becomes due, and fifteen days atter each quarterly and half yearly premiiim becomes due, without for- Teiture of policy. Premiums or lapsed policies may be renewed at any time within six months on the production of satisfactory evidence -as to the health of the insured. When a party effects a policy upon the life of another, thC Company will fte satisfied if the party had, at the time, a bona fide interest in the life of the assured. The policy may be assigned to whom soever the assured pleases, without the knowledge onassent of the,Company (there being no clause in the Equitable policies usual in the policies of mu- TUAL Companies, claiming a right to be notified of an assignment and their approval obtained) so long as the assignment or transfer of a policy in the Equitable is a legal act, and the party who claims can give a legal discharge, the amount is paid by the - Company. The extraordinary advantage allorded by means of the Half Credit system, in not requiring, under any circumstances, an outlai of a larger sum a 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 DEBTOR. It the debt is patd otr thiriug 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 lesserpense than would iirany mutual idlice be charged lbr assuring the life for seven years. - Wale debt is NOT P AID he would be enabled to continue the assurance for the remainder of the debtor's life, whatever might then be his state of health.

Ag during s,ears. 90 40 99 45 $1 09 50 I 85 The assured has to pay the premium in all cases in advance, and HAS NO LIABILITY of any kind, sort or description. A deferred nine is not neeea nary to peanut any operation, and none will he taken by the Company. Persons insuring should hear in mind that a pro nnssory note given to a AIuTuAL Orcicr. at Cola 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 from the sum assured- Of THREE THOUSAND SIN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHT DOLLARS AND FIFTY-FIVE CENTS. . . The premiums of Molnar Assurance Companies being, as they profess, (though the Mutual offices 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 DI LOWER BY SIX TEEN PER CENT.

The premiums charged by the Mu - runt. Orrtcr.s are all on the highest scale, (and by their own ad vertisements) much beyond what in requisite for the 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, tar it is self-evident, - and cannot for a moment, be ques tioned, they must suffer loss by .every insurer who dies before the amount paid by him in premiums, with the accumulated interest, shall be equal to the amount of his,policy—nevertheless, in the Mu tual Offices the " profits" (177) 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 lINEATEST PRESENT BENEFIT IS SECURED to. al persons assured by this comgany ; whilst those who wish to participate in the profits can do so, by the purchase of the reserved shares, (first instalment, 10 dollars) which at all times afford a good and reallrprofitable investment for' capital, beside a vote for each share. This action the Trustees conceive must commend itself to the judg 'meta of every unbiassed inquirer, being based on the broad principle of equity; and 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. 2 4 111 ecru/tr..

A RHYME FOR ALL GOOD MEN AND TRUE Whoever I am, wherever my lot, Whatever I happen'to be, • Contentment and Duty shalt hallow the spot, That Providence has ordered for me; No covetous straining and striving to gain One feverish step in advance,— I know niy own place, and you tempt me in vain To hazard a change and a chance! 1 care for no riches that are not my right, No honor that is not my due ; , But stand in my station, by dal or by night, The will of my Master to do; He lent me my lot, be it humble or high, And set me my business here, And whether I live in his service, or die, My heart shall be found in my sphere ! If wealthy I stand, as the steward of my King, If poor, as the friend 01 my Lord, If feeble, my prayers and my praises I bring, If.stalwart, my pen or my sword ; If wisdom be mine, I will cherish His gill, If simpleness, bask in his love, If sorrow, His hope shall my spirit uplift, If joy, I will throne it above! The good that it pleases my God to bestow, . I grateffilly gather and prize ; The evil—it can be no evil, I know, But only a good in disguise, And whether my station be lowly or great, No duty can ever be mean, The theory cripple is lined in his.fate, As well an a King or a Queen! For Duty's bright livery glorifies Al With brotherhood, equal and Itee, Obeying, an children, the heavenly call, That places us where we should be ; A servant—the badge of my servitude shines As a jewel invested by heaven; A monarch—remember that justice assigns Much service, where so mach is given ! Away then with "helpings" that humble and harm Though " bettering" trips from your tongue ; Away! tbr your folly would scatter the charm That round my proud poverty hung ; I felt that I stood like a man at my post, Though peril and hardship were there,— And all that your wisdom would counsel me most, Is—" Leave it :—do better elsewhere." If "better" were better indeed, and not "worse,' I might go ahead with the rest, But many a gain is a joy and a curse, And many a grief for the best; No !—duties are all the "advantage" I use ; I pine not for praise or for pelf, And as to ambition, I rare not to choose My better or worse for myself! I will not, I dare not, I cannot !-1 stand Where God has ordained me to he; An honest mechanic—or lord in the land— HE fitted my .calling for me ; Whatever my state, be it weak, be it strong, With honor, or Sweat, on my lace, This, this is my glory, my strength, and my song, •I stand like a star, in my PLACE! • ' [Sharpe's Magazinel inisrellaneon9. A Good Ilusband.,r. The good husband is one, who wedded nut by interest but by choice, is constant as well from im clination as !rum principle; he treats his wits with delicacy as a woman, with tenderness as a triend; he attributes her follies to her weakness, her im prudence to her inadvertency ; he passes them over therefore with good-nature, and pardons them with indulgence; all his care and industry are employed for her welfare ; all his strength and poWer are exerted fur her support and her protection; he is more anxious to preserve his own character and reputation, because hers is blended with it; lastly, the good husband is pious and religious, that he may animate her faith by his practice, and enforce the precepts of Christianity by his own example; that, as they join to promote each other's happiness in this world, they may unite to insure eternal joy and felicity in that which is to come. A GOOD WIFE. The good wife is one, who, ever mindful of the solemn contract which she has entered into, is strictly and conscientiously virtuous, constant, and faithful to her husband; chaste, pure and umblem ished in every thought, word and deed; she is hum ble and modest from reason and conviction, sub missive from choice, and obedient from inclination ; what she acquires by love and .tenderness, she pie serves by prudence and discretion; she makes it her business to serve, and her pleasure to oblige her husband; as conscious, that every thing which pro motes his happiness, roust in the end contribute to her own; her tenderness relieves his cares, her affections softens his distress; her good humor and complacency lessen and subdue his afflictions, "she openeth her mouth" as Solomon says "with wis dom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness; she looketh well to the ways of her husband, and eateth not the bread of idleness; her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.' Lastly, as a good and pions Christian, she looks up with an eye of gratitude to the Great Dispenser and Disposer of all things, to the Hus band of the widow, and a Father to the fatherless, entreating His divine favor and assistance in this and every other moral and religions duty; well sat. isfied, that if she duly and punctually discharges her several offices and relations in this life, she shall be blessed and rewarded for it in another A GOOD FATHER The good fai her is ever human, tender and affec tionate to his children; he treats them, therefore, with lenity and kindness; corrects with prudence, rebukes with temper, and chastises with reluctance: he never suffers his indulgence to degenerate into weakness, or his affection to be biassed by partiality ; as he rejoices in their joy, and participates in their afflictions, he never slitters them to want a blessing which he can bestow, or to lament an evil which he can prevent; while he continues with them, he administers to their present happiness, and provides for their future felicity when he shall be removed from them; he is doubly cautious in preserving his own character, because theirs depends upon it; he is prudent, therefore, that they may be happy, in dustrious that they may be rich, good and virtuous that they may be respected, he instructs by his life and teaches by his example; as he is thoroughly satisfied, that piety is the source and foundation of every virtue, he takes care to "bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the lout;" that they may be good siren, he endeavors to make them good Christians; and after having done every• thing in his power to make them easy and happy here, points out to them the only infallible means of securing eternal bliss and tranquility hereafter. A GOOD SON. The god and dutiful son is one who honors his parents, by paying them the utmost deference and respect; by a reverential awe and veneration for them ; aTilial affection for their persons, and a ten der regard for their safety and preservation ; a con stant and cheerful :attendance to their advice, and ready and implicit obedience to their commands. As he becomes every day more sensible of his ob ligations to them, he grows every day more willing and more solicitous to repay them. He employs his youth to support their age; his abundance to relieve their wants; his knowledge and strength to supply their infirmities and decay. He is more careful of his character and reputation in the world because theirs depends upon it. Ever anxious for their welfare, and attentive to their happiness, he endeavors, by'every method in his power to prolong their days, that his own may be long in the land. He rests assured, that God will not only bless obedient children here, but will reward them with the bless ings of heaven, where it shalr be well with him for ever; where we shall all join, son and father,daugh ter and mother, wife and husband, servant and master; all the relations and connexions of this life, to honor one great Parent, Protector, Lord and Master of all. ID" Scandal, like the river Nile, is fed by innu• merable streams; but it is extremely difficult to trace it to its source. An Interesting Case. rnam the Near Odra. Delta. The Nattirat vs. the Foster Mother--Pathetie Seem in Court.—Wishing to see the finale of a case which came up in Judge CannWg' Court on Wednesday, and was continued over until yesterday, we omitted any report of it until we could give the whole his tory of what is one of the most romantic and in teresting cases that ever came under our notice. Without recapitulating the evidence given, or relat ing all the legal forms pursued, we will condense the facts of the case into a connected and narrative form. A few days ago a strolling family of, street mu: sicians wandered into our city. It was composed of an Italian and his wife, who had assumed the English name of Wilson, and a bright-eyed, inter esting little girl, of precocious intelligence,. whose duty it was to carry around the tambourine and collect the contributions of the crowds. This little girl called Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson her parents, and seemetrhappy in their service, and in the affec tionate kindness which the poor organ-grinders lavished upon her. Last Sunday the wandering minstrels were pur suing their daily avocations in the suburbs, in q neighborhood not considered the most reputable portion el our city. The drum played by the man,- and the organ which the poor woman turned, had ceased their monotonous strains, and the bright. eyed little girl was tripping it over the banquette. and smilingly and beseechingly presenting her little tambourine, for the picayunes, when suddenly the• attention of a pour woman, in whose worn features misfortune, vice and remorse were strongly blended, was attracted towards the little girl. She looked at the little ono with a steady, anxious and searching gaze for a moment, and then rushing through the crowd, seized her in her arms and tenderly pressed •her frail little figure to her throbbing bosom, ex claiming at the same time, "Oh, my child, my long lost child! My darling little one! Havel got you at last V The title girl was frightened, screamed for '! her mother" (the organ grinder) to rescue her, and tried in every way site could to escape from the grasp of the 'wild woman." Fin'ally, however, by the interference of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, the lit tle one, was taken from the arms of the poor stran ger, whose anguish seemed to increase in bitterness at the indifference or forgetfulness of the little girl, whom she claimed to be her own daughter. At the suggestion, however, of some by-standers, the poor woman, who declared her name to be. Ann Mayfield, was induced to let the strollers proceed on their way, and advised to resort immediately to legal prriceedings to enforce her parental rights. Accordingly, a writ of habeas corpus was sued out in the Second District Court, by Anti Mayfield, against Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. In her petition, she averred 'that she was the mother of the little girl, named Rosa, aged seven years, who was stolen from her several years ago, and was now detained by the defendants. To thisf . and Mrs. Wilson re plied, by denying that sh was the mother of the child, and further alleged that if she was the mother, she was of such notoriously bad character, that it would not be proper for tier to have charge of so young a child. The case came up for trial before Judge Canon, and oceupied all Wednesday and yes terday. The testimony established that the peti. tioner, Ann Mayfield, came to Natchez some years ago, with a very young child; that she was deser ted by the man who accompanied her to thatplace, and being in very destitute circumstances, and an xious to get to New Orleans, actually sold her child to the Wilsons. in order to furnish her with clouting and bear hear her expenses to this city, but that it was understood that she was to reclaim the child whenever she desired. Since then, however, she had heard nothing of the Wilsons and her child, until the accidental en counter on the streets. These facts were proved by a competent witness, and were to a great extent admitted by the defendants. There was some difli dulty, however, in identifying the child. The mother swore positively on this point, and the striking le semblance between them confirmed her testimony. After learned and eloquent ar g uments from Messrs. Frost and Abell for plaintiffs, and Concklin and Reney for defendants, Judge Canon proceeded to render Judgment in the case Whilst the judge was rendering his decision, the scene within the Court room was quite an impressive and affecting one. On one side was the interesting family of the organ-grinder, in whose weather-beaten, scar-seamed faces, a very perceptible expression of deep affection and tender solicitude for their little foster child seemed to predominate over all other considerations. The little object of all this contention sat between the organ-grinder and his wife, and seemed to be clinging to them for protection. On the other side, was the haggard and sorrow-stricken mother, whose heart, though seared and hardened by misfortune, still throbbed with all that intense devotion and love which a mother only can feel. The Court room was crowded with an audience who contemplated the scene with deep interest. Judge Canon com menced his judgment by relating a fact that came under his observation about twenty years ago. A poor colored woman, in this city, once found at her door a new-born white infant, whom she took into her house, and, with great care and tenderness, nursed and reared until she -grew up to be a beau tiful and interesting girl of ten years, when she was one day recognized by a highly respectable lady as her own child, and as such was identified and returned. In such cases as these, the benevo lent Judge remarked, 11111C11 stress must be given to the testimony of the mother, whose instinct would enable her to recognize and identify her child, when all other persons might fail in so doing. lle would, therefore, order the child to be delivered over to the petitioner, (here the mother audibly exclaim ed—" Thank you, Judge! thank you!" whilst a deep sigh from the organ-grinder, and a low sob from his wife showed how keenly they felt their apprehended bereavement.) As to the objection that the mother's character was bad, that would be a good reason for depriving her of the tutorship of the child, but it could not be examined into in this dispute. It was admitted that her character was bad. lie was sorry for it, and trusted that when restored to the charge of her little girl that she would alter her conduct and lead a virtuous life. On the other hand, he did not think that the-life and profession of the organ grinder were favorable to the proper training of a young girl. The Judge then directed the Sheriff to exe c cute the judgment of the court. The solemn and grave looking Deputy Sheriff then proceeded to wards the group of organ-grinders, when the little girl, as if discovering his object, drew back, cling. ing with an expression of the deepest grief and alarm to the dress of her foster mother. The Sheriff, however, by the use of a little gentle force, succeeded in separating them, and taking the little girl in his arms, delivered her to her natural mother, who rushed towards the child and encirc ling her in her arms embraced her delicate little body with the ardor and devotion of true love, the child all the while repaying her caresses with her most vigorous efforts to release herself, screaming "You are not my Ma—there is my Ma—l won't go with you." Alas! the poor child had entirely forgotton her natural mother. She remembered only the kind • ness and affection of the organ-grinders, and seemed inconsolable for her separation from them. The latter, with expressions of the deepest sor row and grief, retired from the court, amid the sympathy and regret of the large crowd, who with tearful eyes, witnessed the affecting scene, which we have thus hurriedly related. We have since learned, that it is the intention of the mother of the child to place her in an orphan asylum, where she may be educated free from the contaminating influences of her mother's life, and where she may be visited by both her natural and foster parents.

The Grave of Patrick Henry. The editor of the Lynchburg Patriot says that on a recent occasion of deep . and delicate interest to a friend, he was afforded an opportunity of visiting the grave of the distinguished Henry, the spot where lies "all of genius that can perish." A plank enclosure, a clump of cherry trees, :owl two white flint rocks, overgrown by running box-, mark the earth chambers of one of time's most wonderous works. Onward Still in liquid splendor flows his own loved Staunton—still upward from its banks with gentle undulation, swells his beauti ful "Red Hill"—yet to be- seen, bending to the breeze, the locusts in whose shade lie sat or walked, in communion familkr with godlike thoughts— there is to be seen the chair in which he leaned when the hand of death was upon him—but the spirit which will hallow them forever, has gone and lelt no peer on earth. The bright orb of his genius has set for ever, but the horizon is still ra diant with its beams. Though no monument; stone storied urn marks the spot of the sepulchre, the trophies of immortal mind are not wanting in his memory. The burning words with which, as "a live coal from the altar," he kindled the hearts of millions, are still syllabled by freedom's votaries throughout the world. The glorious and beneficent fruits of that revolution to whirls he gave the first impulse, constitute the majestic and enduring mon .ument of his renown. To old, Charlotte belongs the honor of inuring the ashes of two'of the most remarkable men and greatest orators of any age or land. Within a few hours' ride is the grave of John Randolph. Tradi tion will preserve some of the particulars of that memorable character. The sun of Henry was going down in splendor and glory; that of Randolph was dawning in the orient, giving promise that the fir mament of eloquence should lose no light. Like Chatham and Mirabean, the fame of their eloquence is traditionary ; the few written speeches that ale left, furnish no adequate idea of their powers. The one by his sublime and fervid eloquence, stirred the heart of a great nation to its inmost depths, and nerved its ariaM strike for liberty or death; the other by the exhibition of all that was intense in thought, dazzling in expression, with irony and pathos, exercised a mighthy influence upon the destinies of parties--causing himself to be ‘ felt as a power in the councils of his countrymen, where vanquished Senates trembled as they praised. In life they were kindred in genius—in death they sleep undivided in distance—in immortality, they are twin brothers.

Female Society. You know my opinion of female society. With out it, we should degenerate into brutes. This ob servation applies with ten-told force to young men, and those who are in the prime of manhood. For, after a certain time of life, the literary man may make a shift—a poor one, I grant—to be without the society of ladies. To a young man nothing is so important as a spirit of devotion—next to his Creator—to some amiable woman, whose image may occupy his heart and guard it from the pol lution which besets it on all sides. A man ought to choose his wile as Mrs. Primrose did her wed ding gown, for qualities that "wear well." One thing at least is true; that if matrimony 116 its cares, celibacy has no pleasure. A Newton, or a mere scholar may find employment in study;- men of literary taste can find in books a powerful aux iliary; but a man must have a bosom friend and children around him„ to cherish and support the dreariness of old age.—John Randolph.
