Make In urance on Lives at their Office, ;11 Philadelpha, and at their Agencies throughout the States, at the lowest rates of premium. Persons should insure their lives, ana do so without delay, whilst the 'are healthy and fit subjects to be insured. In this Office there are advantages greater than have ever yet been derived from the system of Life Assurance; which reason and experience convinec the Trustees may with safety be offered to the public. It will be found, 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 .circumstances, and with widely different objects and what may facilitate the Views of Elite man, af fords no accommodation to another. It appears, 'therefore, to, the Trustees of the I•4itable ' that the greatest good will be effected by that office, which allows such reasonable advantages to every assurer, as at the time of completing his Policy, lie considers to be suitable to his particular case. On this principle they act, and a few instances will suffice to show the benefits derivable from its adoption—the greatest good of the greatest number No policy will be disputed, unless under an act , of fraud by the, assured, and after the same shall °have been ° declared by referees of undoubted char acter. In case 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 be 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 Kentucky, and west of the river Mississippi, between the first day of November and the first dafolJuly following. And to pass Bons 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 during May,. June, July, August and September, free of charge; during remaining months of the year, 25 cents on each $lOO insured. The age of the assured will be admitted on the policy. If the insured die in a duel, by his own hands, or under sentence of the law, such death will not invalidate the policy, except 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 premium becomes due, without for feiture 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 hnother, the Company will be satisfied if the party and, 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 or assent of the Company (there being no clause in the Equitable policies usual in the policies of Mu- • TU-kL 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 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 DEBTOR. If the debt is paid off during these five years, he can liscontinue 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 be charged for assuring the life for seven years. If the debt is NOT PAID he would be enabled to continue the assurance for the remainder of the debtor's life, whatever might then be his state of health. Attention is particulary re quested to the HALF CREDIT RATES a PREMIUM Pen $lOO. (Without security or deferred note.) Age. Half Credit. Age.

A deferred note is not neces sary to pei feet 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 6 per cent., would cause a DEDUCTION from 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 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 IS LOWER BY SIX TEEN PER CENT. THAN ANY MUTUAL OFFICE, and at the SAME RATES OF PREMIUM charged by the "New York Life," "The New York Mutual," " Albion," " Worcester Mutual," " Connecticut Mutual," "Pennsylvania," "Girard," "Penn," "New England," "Hartford," " Baltimore :Mu tual," "Boston Mutual," &c., &c., in the Equitable the payments cease altogether after twenty-one years.

The premiums charged by the MUTUAL OFFICES are all on the higheht scale, (and by their own ad vertisements) much beyond what is requisite for the purpose of their Misiness. 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, lbr it is self-evident, and cannot for a moment be ques itioned, 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" (TM are to be shared in by the representative, should the insured die tat .3IEDIATELY after one or two payments. By the diminution of the premiums in the Equi table, THE GREATEST PRESENT BENEFIT IS SECURED to all persons] assured by this company; 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 really profitable investment for capital, beside a vote for each share. This action the Trustees conceive must commend itself to the judg ment 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. THE Amur.. MONEY Bonus given by the Equi table, saved, is upwards of latper cent., at the time of effecting the insurance; cm IN ACCORDANCE with the SCRIP BONUS OF A MUTUAL OFFICE; THE SAVING IS EQUAL TO TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY PER CENT. PROFIT SCRIP (7) CO- PaMphICIS, 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 carefully the Prospectfis of " The Equitable" before insuring elsewhere. JNO. W. CLAGHORN, Pres't. PRANCE! WEST, M. D.} Medical Examiners. J. B.

I'm happy when I can, I'm merry while I may, For life at most a narrow span, At best a winter's day. If care could make the sunbeam wear A brighter, warmer hue, The evening star shines out more fair, The blue sky looks more blue, Then I should be a graver man— But since 'tis not the way, Sweet coz! I'm happy when I can, And merry when I may ! If sighs could make us sin the less, Perchance I were not glad— If mourning were the sage's dress, My garb then should be sad ; But since the angel's wings are white, And e'en the young saints smile— Since virtue wears a brow of light, And vic t v a robe of guile— Since laughter is not under ban, Nor gladness clad in grey— Sweet coz f I'm happy when I can, And merry when I may ! I've seen a bishop dance and reel, And a. sinner fast and pray, A knave at the top of Fortune's wheel, And a good man cast away! Wine I have seen your grave one's quaff, Might set our fleet afloat; But I never heard a hearty laugh From out a Villain's throat; And I never knew a mirthful man Make sad a young maid's day— So, coz ! I'm happy when I can, And merry while I may! CHRIST BY THE TELL OF SYCHAR. BY THE REV. OEO. W. BETHUNE, D. D My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me." Upon the well by Sychar , s gate, At burning noon the Saviour eat, Athirst and hungry from the way Ilia feet had trod since early day. The twelve had gone in search of food, And left him in his solitude. They come—and spread before him there With faithful haste, the pilgrim fare, And gently bid him "Master, eat !" But Cod had sent him bitter meat. And there is on his lowly brow No weariness nor faintness now. For while they sought the market place His words had won a soul to grace, And when he set that sinner free From bonds of guilt and infamy, His heart grew strong with love divine, More than the strength of bread and wine So, Christian, when the strength grows faint, Amid the toils that throng the saint, Ask God that thou mays't peace impart Unto some other human heart; And thou thy Master's joy shall share, E'en while his cross thy shoulders bear. Ellen Lee was beautiful, very beautiful, and as her mother kissed her forehead and gazed upon her sunny brow, she felt tier fond heart glow with love unspeakable for the gentle being who was so fondly and truly her own. Mrs. Lee was a widow, and sweet Ellen was her only child, and as hope bade the fair girl look for ward with pleasure to the bright future, the heart of her mother grew sad, for beautiful and good as was her daughter now, so had the mother been in early girlhood, and happy, confiding and joyful as was the gentle maiden's heart, so had been the heart of her now grief stricken parent—but alas! the buds of hope and flowers of happiness had all been crushed, and now lay withering in her heart, save those twining tendrils which clung to the fairy creature, who alone was left to her, of six precious ones. All the rest lay sleeping in the village church yard, by the side of him who had won her youth ful affections, and led her, years ago, from the hearthstone of parental love to adorn the household altar of her husband's home and fireside. Sorrow hail sat heavily upon the heart of the lone widow, and, as one by one. she laid the sweet flowers of her heart to rest . by the side of their father, she hardly dared to hope that Ellen would be spared to cheer her lonely lot ; but as years passed on and health and beauty mantled upon her round cheek, and sparkled in her bright eyes, Mrs. Lee felt that in the fair orphan she had enough to wile her heart from its overwhelming sorrow, and so she smiled again and was happy. , Ellen was a gay, light-hearted thing, and when she first met Edward Carlton she deemed him the most agreeble companion with whom she had ever formed a passing acquaintance; but as months passed away, a deeper charm seemed to hover around him, and the crimson shadows that played upon her dimpled mouth, told of deep and hidden thoughts that gathered in the heart of that unso phisticated one. It was the heart's first lession. And as young Carlton whispered into her willing ear the soft dreamy words of love, they met with a welcome response, and the garnered treasures of that trusting heart gushed out with a rich font of truthful, affectionate love. Had Mrs. Lee been in affluent circumstances she might, perhaps, have deemed the attentions which Edward paid her daughter of some importance ; but as it was, she little dreamed that her darling Ellen would bestow her young heart upon one who, like herself, was lacking in this world's goods— and so, when Col. Harden, the purse-proud aristo crat, Henry Harden, knelt in homage by the shrine of the humble child, her mother smiled, for the thought that her child would wed one so noble was pleasant to her soul, and so she built castles of magnificent splendor in the visions of her head, and when the wealthy suitor conferred with Mrs. Lee, as touching the hand of the sweet girl, she promised him to use all her influence to aid his suit. Ellen, my love, come here, I would talk with you awhile, my own, my beautiful," said Mrs. Lee, as her daughter entered the humble parlor and cast aside the light hat which had contined . her beautiful ringlets. Ellen seated herself upon a low footstool at her mother's feet, and resting her snowy arm upon her lap gazed into her face with silent expectation; kissing the smooth brow, and twining her arms about the neck of her child, Mrs. Lee broached the subject which was so congenial to her wishes. My beautiful one, this place is illy fitted for one of your beauty, and I am thankful, dearest, that brighter:prospects are in store for you; Col. Harden was here this afternoon, whilst you were riding with Edward—and Ellen he seeks you for a wife. Say, darling, would you not be glad to exchange this humble home for his splendid mansion.house, and our meagre fare for the daitlty board of his superb residence." "Mother, dear mother," and the quivering lip of the agitated girl bespoke her emotion, and she buried her face in her hands and weld bitterly. "We shall not be separated, my precious one," said Mrs. Lee, folding her arms more closely around Lig beautiful child, and drawing her fragile form closely to her heart. "Mr. Harden promised me that I should go with you, that we should both have a borne in his heart and house—and we shall be so happy. Is he not very kind, my love, so generous I" "Yes, mother, very noble—but say no more now, I will think of it; nay, do not follow me dear mother, I would be alone a little while." Many sad thoughts rushed tuinultuously into her heart that eve. She well knew that she loved not the wealthy suitor, and then the constant, the unut terable affection which she bore to Edward. The thought was anguish. "My mother has stioggled through poverty and hardship, long and patiently, for my sake, and shall I not now sacrifice my own happiness to insure her comfort in declining age? Yes, cost what it may I will do it ; it must and shall be done." And so bathing her face she called a smile to her lips. A lovely bride was that which was arrayed for the altar, her pale cheek wore not a smile, and as R.W.DONALD. 6m-26 sllistellancouo. SWEET COL BY OLIVER W. HOLMES From the Dollar Newspaper WYE SECRET SIN. 11011333 133ESEIM the delicate buds were wreathed in her bright hair, they were not more emblematic of purity than, was the frail form whose brow they adorned. She sat alone in her choanb.... D. „.• over again the- pleasant past• ay, and sorrowful thoughts came rushing forward too, for life to her had been 'fraught with many grievous hours, and as the thoughts of one dear to her' heart came upon the reminiscences of the hour, there was a half stifled sob, for to her the name of Edward Carlton was a forbidden Aherne. But now a deep, silent struggle was in her heart, but pride and duty con quered. Col. Harden opened the door of the parlor and was greeted by Mrs. Lee with the warm affection of a mother, to his inquiring look she responded, "Ellen will be here in a moment." The clergy. man arrived—the ceremony which bound her "to love, honor, and obey" was finished, and Ellen as the wife of Col. Harden, that afternoon left forever the quiet cottage home where her youthful years hail-been passed so happily. Her heart sickened within her as she sank upon the cushions of the splendid carriage, and trod through the spacious halls of her new abode—but one thought sustained her, and gave her courage, and that was—her wi dowed mother would now be happy. The splendid drawing room was re-furnished for the reception of its fair mistress, and as Ellen sank upon the sofa, her eye glanced over the costly adornment for which she had bartered her young heart's wealth; her husband was at her side, his eye followed hers, as it surveyed the apartment. I "Now, my dearest, 1 can tell you how fondly, how devotedly I have loved you. I have long been a silent worshipper at the shrine of your beauty, but hardly dare hope that so lair a flower would ever bloom in loveliness in my residence; but now sweet one, you are all, all my own." A sigh escaped the lips of Ellen as her husband drew her to his heart and imprinted a warm kiss of love upon her lips, he did not feel her heart flutter, nor notice a sli ht repulse she gave to his ardent caresses, his proud soul was too overjoyed to think for a moment that she could be otherwise than happy. A few days more and her mother was with her in her new home, and Mrs. Lee was Co delighted that her child was so fortunate, that for weeks she saw not that the color was fading from the cheek of the saddened one, and that the lustre was de parting from her flashing eye, but so it was—and when at last she did notice the change, she thought not that a crushed heart and bruised spirit was the cause thereof. 'Ellen, my precious, what is the matter? your glad laugh is hushed, and your gay song is never heard; my own darling one, are you ill? what is the trouble?" " Mother, ask me not! I cannot, I must not speak of it! oh, my mother." "Ellen are you not happy? The thought is dis traction, but is not Henry"— • " My husband is kind, very kind; but mother leave me now, and as you love me never speak to me upon this subject again." "But my child does not Henry love you tell me that, only that." " Yes, mother, I believe, indeed, I know he does, fondly and truly love me, I can ask for no more, now go for awhile, I would be alone." When alone in her costly furnished chamber, she flung herself upon the low couch, and buried her face deep in the downy cushions, and the sobs of anguish which broke the solitude told of a bleed ing, breaking heart. "Oh, my mother! little do you hnow what I've sacrificed for you, happiness, love, and all that I once so fondly held dear. Gladly would I exchange the comforts of this luxurious home for one short hour of my former bliss" Long and bittterly did she weep, and when tired nature at last sunk into repose the tear drop trickled down her pallied cheeks, and the half stifled sob heaved her throbbing breast—alight footstep echoed in the hall, and then her door opened, and her hus band stood by her side, and- gazed with anguish upon her 'sweet face, paled with weeping and sor row—he had for weeks marked the change which was wrought in the person of his lovely wife, and although he had often spoken to her concerning it she had always evaded his anxious inquires, and he little divined the cause of her dejection and las situde. It was the first time that he had happened to see the drops of grief in her eyes, and his heart smote heavily.tis the unwelcome thought intruded itself that perhaps she was unhappy; he banished it instantly, but still it presented itself again and again, and each time took mare the semblance of stern reality. He stooped down to kiss that smooth brow, from which the glad light had so soon departed, and heard a name, till then unknown to him, breathed in accents of love from the mouth of his sleeping wife—it was that of Carlton. Turning. from the spacious chamber be sought her mother in her apartment, what passed there is unknown, and he left Mrs. Lee in a maze of-won der and surprise, but when Col. Harden greeted his young bride that evening, in the parlor, he was an altered man. The iron of sorrow had entered his soul, and his proud spirit was crushed, for to him was now fully revealed the heart rending truth that Ellen had married him not for love but for wealth alone. lEMMMEB A new era opeued upon the life of Mrs. Harden, and as she pressed her lips to the rudy, dimpled cheeks of her baby boy, she felt the glad ray of hope and joy again spring in her heart. "She had now something for which to live. Her husband too began to smile, and happiness gladdened his soul, and the future seemed to look with a more radiant hue. Mrs. Lee was too happy again, for to see her daughter smile the same sweet smile was to her joy unspeakable. Happiness seemed to rest upon the whole family circle, and the little stranger was welcomed with rapture by all the group. To his mother he came as the bright harbinger of peace, and its father fondly hoped that by its innocent, endearing smiles, he might win for himself that love from iti mother which his own eloquence had in vain essayed. To its grandmother it was but a link which recalled the. past in its pristine blessedness to her loving heart. Six months did the bright eyed boy remain wi4h them as a blessing, and then angels stooped down and bore him away to Heaven, to bloom in celestial beauty with the bright spirits around the throne of the great Eternal. Consternation and grief swelled the hearts of the stricken group, for little Henry was endeared to their hearts by ten thousand endearing ties which his infautine artlessness had twined, and now that the chord of life was severed, their hearts bled in anguish at their irreparable loss. "It is all right," said the stricken 'mother, as she gazed into the little coffin upon the lovely marble face of the dead baby, as he lay there in all his deep holy loveliness. "It is all right; I deserved it, God is just, and will be avenged for the wrongs done, my sin is visited upon my innocent boy." "Ellen, Ellen, what mean you? For God's sake, my child, what do you mean ?" " Mother, for your sake I did it ; will God forgive me?" Poor Mrs. Harden was borne to her chamber, and for s:x long weeks did her husband watch by her bedside, and amid the ravings of delirium did he for the first time fully learn the sacrifice she had made at the shrine of filial duty. When returning reason found her prostrated by disease, she knew by the pale and anxious faces around her, that long and fearful had been the struggle between life and death, and bitter to her spirit was the thought that she was still to live on and endure the pangs of, a broken heart Very tedious was her recovery to health and strength, and long weeks did her husband watch for the slowly returning bloom of health. From her mother's lips did she team the disclo sures that she had made when her mind was sealed up by disease, and very bitter were the tears which the lond, doting parent shed over the wreck which had been made of Ellen's happiness for her sake, and she could but lament her own thoughtlessness. Had you but told me, Ellen, that you loved another, never would I have permitted it so to have been," "I knew it, dearest mother, I alone am.to blame, and for my sake you all suffer ; my precious baby is taken from me, and my husband, oh ! my mother, how deeply he feels the wrong wnich I have done him, all his deep unutterable love has rushed back upon his heart. I can never forgive myself, would to Heaven I had died and been laid in my grave by the side of my little Henry." " Say not so, my dearest wife," said Mr. Harden, ottoman by the couch upon NV ;C '' r-c in• , "God has spared you, and you should be thankful, your mother still lives and demands'your care and attention; that love which prompted you to make such a fearful sacrifice now demands that for her sake you live and be happy. Duty calls me from home for months, perhaps for a longer time, but when I return I hope to find you well again, and in the enjoyment of health and happiness." "Henry, I have banished you from home by my sin, I have crushed your love." - Mention it not, Ellen, you are still dearer to me than life itself; perhaps, love, we shallyet be happy. May God, in his kindness, give us peace and hap piness." "Amen," responded the feeble voice of the lan guid one, and for the first time' a thrill of esteem darted through her heart for him who should have been to her all in all; she felt grateful for his con siderate care and careful tenderness, and thought almost with regret of his approaching departure. EIMEEEEZ Three years have elapsed since tbe close of the last chapter, and in the parlor of Cql. Harden's mansion are seated- Mrs. Lee and her beautiful daughter, Mrs. Harden. Health is again upon the cheek of Ellen, and never in her most blithesome days did she look more lovely and fair than now. " Half past seven, mother, Henry will not -come to-night." " I rather think not, it is almost too late; but I declare, Ellen, you are just ready to weep; I should like to have Col. Harden know the change which absence has wrought in you; the most craving affec• tion would be satisfied with your love." " I am impalient to see him, I can hardly wait, and to be disappo.nted is too bad, and yet I almost dread the meeting, he has been- so considerate and kind that I could not do otherwise than love." " That affection will be reciprocated, dear one, for he always has been truly yours, in both ,heart and soul." " Mother, he has come," and rushing impetuously to the door she was clasped in a warm embrace to the breast of her husband. "My beatitiful, my own," murmured the aston ished Colonel. "Yes, dearest Henry, all your own—forgive me, dear husband, for the past.", God bless you, for your frosting love, my sweet wife, let the past be forgotten, and in the blessed assurance of present bliss live and enjoy happiness." A most joyful meeting was it, and the glad heart of Mrs. Lee overflowed with joy, and as Henry felt the first kiss of pure love upon his broad forehead, he clasped his dear wife to his hears again and again, realizing the blissful assurance that the part ing prayer of three long years ago was now fully answered. Now that the secret sin of bygone years was proudly confessed and cordially forgiven, hap piness became an inmate of the splendid residence, and in the full fruition of all earthly bliss the sor rowful past was forgotten, and Col. Harden found in the society of his wife that peace and joy which had long been a stranger to his, heart.

Fashionable Girls. Mrs. Swisshelm of the Pittsburg Saturday Tither, one of the pleasantest and Most original writers of the age, gives the following matter of-fact informa• tion in one of her admirable "letters to country girls:" "There are hundreds of girls in every large city, who parade the streets in leathers, flowers, silks and laces, whose hands are soft and white as uselessness can make them, whose mothers keep hoarders to get a living for their idle daughters. These mothers will cook, sweep, wait on,tables, carry ',aids of marketing, do the most menial drudgery, late and early with very little more clothing than would be allowed to a Southern slave, while their hopeful daughters spend their mornings lounging in bed, reading some silly book, takinc , lessons in Music and French, fixing finery and the like. The even ings are devoted to dressing, displaying their charms and accomplishments to the best advantage, for the wonderment and admiration of knights of the yard stick and young aspirants for professional honors— doctors without patients, lawyers without clients— who are as brainless and soulless as themselves. After a while the pianosound'ing simpleton captivates a tape-measuring, law expounding, or pill making simpleton. The two ninnies spend every cent that can be raised by hook or crook—get all. that can be got on credit—in broadcloth, satin, flowers, lace, carriage, attendance, &c.,—hang their empty pock ets on somebody's chair, lay their empty heads on somebody's pillow, and commence their empty life, with no other prospect than living at somebody's expense—with no higher purpose than living gen teelly and spiting the neighbors. This is a synopsis of the lives of thousands of street and ball room belles, perhaps of some whose Shining costume you have envied from a passing glance. Thousands of women in cities dress elegantly on the streets, who have not a sufficiency of whole some food, a comfortable bed, or fire enough to warm their rooms. I once boarded in a "genteel boarding house" in Louisville. There were two young ladies and a piano in the house; hall and parlors handsomely furnished. The eldest young lady, the belle, wore a summer bonnet at ten dollars; a silk and blond concern that could not last more than two or three months; silk, and satin dresses at two, three and four dollars per yard, and five dollars a piece for making them, and the entire family, woman, boys, and babies, nine in all, slept in one small room, with' two dirty bags of pine shavings, two straw bolsters, and three dirty quilts for bedding; no sheets, no slips, and there on the wall hung the peagreen and white satin, the rich silk and lawn dresses. These ladies did not work, but played the piano, accordion and cards; and nearly broke their hearts the week before we were there, because another, who I presume lived just as they did, called on them with a great clumsy gold chain on her neck. None of them had one, and Mrs. Label inda, the belle, could eat no supper, and had a bad fit of the sulks to console her for the want of a chain. But, dear me! I had no notion of running away off here. I was just thinking how busy your country girls are apt to be in the fall, and this led me to think what a blessing it is that you have something to do, and that you think it a disgrace to live idly. It is a great blessing to live in a coun try where it is a credit to work, for idleness is [ha parent of vice and misery. So do not get weary, or think your lot a hard one when putting np pick les or preserves, - apple butter, sausages and sauce foi future use."
