Make In ifrance on Lives at their Office, in Philadelpha, and at their Agencies throughout the States, at the lowest rates of premium. Persons should insure their lives, and do so without delay, whilst the are healthy and tit subjects to be insured. In this Office there are advt.ntages 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 tinder various circumstances, and . with widely different objects, and what may facilitate the views of one man, af fords no accoMmodation to another. It appears, therefore, to the .'frustees of the Equitable ' 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, he 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 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 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 and Kentucky; and west of the river Mississippi, between the first day of November and the first day of July fbllowing. 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 during May, June, July, August and September,. flee of charge; during remaining months of the year, 2.5 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 for as it was the property of the deceased. Thirty slays allowed after each annual payment bpcomes due, and fifteen days after each quarterly' ; and half yearly premium becomes due, without for- i 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 aad, 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- 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 lea-al act, and the party Who claims can give a legal discharge, the amount is paid by the Company. The extraordinary advantage urorded 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 CREEDTOR desirous of possessing a policy on the life his Drama. 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 be charged for assuring the for seven years. If the debt is NOT PAID he would be enabled to continue the ass raneefor the remainder of the debtor's life, whatever might then he his state of health.

A deferred note is not neces sary to perfect any operation, and none will be taken by the Company. Persons insuring should bear in mind that a pro missory note given to a MotuAl. OFFICE at com pound interest, soon amounts to more than the sum assured. Thus, $lOO per'annum for 20 years at li per cent., would cause a DEDUCTION from the sum assured of THREE THOUSAND SIN: .HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIGHT DOLLARS AND FIFTY-FIVE CENTS. The premiums of Mutual Assurance Companies being, as they profess, tl - lough 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.

The premiums charged by the MUTUAL OFFICES are all on the highest scale, (and by their own ad vertisements) much beyond *hat is 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 PRO3IISE, for 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" (Ill) are to be shared in by the representative, ,should the insured die IM DIEDIATELY 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 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 ibr capital, beside a vote tot each share. This action the Trustees conceive must commend itself to the judg ment cif 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 ACTUAL MONEY BONUS given by the Equi-' table Saved, is upwards of 15 per cent, at the time of effecting the insurance; on IN ACCORDANCE with the SCUFF' BONUS OF A MUTUAL OFFICE; THE SAYING 111 EQUAL TO TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY PER CENT.

From Sartain's Magazine A .CHRISTRIS CAROL. BY HENRY W. LONGFELLOW I hear along our street Pass the minstrel throng ; Hark I they play so sweet, On their hautbOys, Christmas songs ! Let us by the fire Ever higher Sing them till the night expire ! In December ring Every day the chimes; Loud the glee men sing In the streets their merry rhymes. Let us by the fire Ever higher Sing them till the night expire ! Shepherds at the grange, Where the Babe was born, Sang, with many a change, Christmas carols untiLmorn. Let ue by the fire Ever higher Sing them till the night expire! These good people sang Songs deyout and sweet, While the rafters rang, There they stood with freezing feet Let us by the fire Ever higher Singlthem till the night expire ! Nuns in frigid cells At this holy tide, For want of something else, Christmas songs at times have tried Let us by the fire Ever higher Sing them till the night expire ! Washerwomen old, To the sound they beat, Sing by rivers cold, With uncovered heads and feet. Let us by the fire Ever higher Sing them till the night expire! Who by the fireside stands Stamps while he doth sing,' But he who blows his hands Not so gay a coral brings. Let us by the fire Ever higher Sing them till the night expire! GENTLENESS. If thou hast crushed a sower, The root may not be blighted; If thou halt quenched a lamp,. Once more it may be lighted ; But on the heart, or on thy lute, The string which thou halt broken, Shall never in sweet sound again Give to thy touch a token ! If thou hast loosed a bird, Whose voice of song could cheer thee ; Still, still, lie may be won From the skies to warble near thee; But it upon the troubled sea Thou hast thrown a gem unheeded, Hope that the wind and wave shall bring The treasure back when needed. If thou hast bruised a vine, The summer's breath is healing, And its cluster yet may glow Through the leaves their bloom revealifg. But if thou bast a cup o'erthrown, With a bright draught filled—O, never Shall the earth give back that lavished wealth To cool thy parched lip's fever. The heart is like the cup, If thou waste the love it bore thee, And like that jewel gone, . Which the deep will not restore thee; And like that string of harp or lute, Whence the sweet sound is scattered-- Gently, 0 gently touch the cords, So soon forever scattered ! Pleasant Neighbors. CITY Finn - E.—As true as it is that "being born I in a stable does not make one a horse," so true it is that residing in a court does not make people courtly. Sally. Flanders end Ellen Chipman, are both ladies of the court, (a court in Second street near Spruce,) yet we could not perceive that they were more polished than ladies who reside in the woods and never see courts. Miss Flanders has a' complexion precisely the color of buckskin, as itis sold for glove making, &c. Miss Chipman's com plexion resembles black morocco, in hue and polish, except that the lustre of her countenance seems to be of a greasrorigin, like the brilliancy which country people impart to their shoes by means of friction with a skin of fat bacon. The two ladies are about equally matched in beauty—and the amount possessed by either or both, would not re quire the additional talent of Mr. Peter Deshong to make a full estimate. Miss Flanders and Miss Chipman are next door neighbors, and pursue the same business, washing and ironing, to the full veri fication of the maxim, that "two of a trade cannot agree." The houses being without back yards or flats on the roofs, have no convenience for drying clothes, except that afforded by the area of the court, to which all the -inhhbitants have an equal right. The close lines of Miss Flanders and those of Miss Chipman, being stretched across the court, and con tigious to each other, and all of them being crowd ed with damp apparel—pantaloons and petticoats, vests and boddices, shirts and corresponding articles of female attire, being in indelicate proximity—the mind being high, too, and the whole of the suspended habiliments performing a variety of waltzes, polkas and other fantastic dances—it was, not surprising i that the rudness of some of the male garments should offend the fastidious modesty of some of the , female ones. A pair of discourteous blue cotton pants, belonging to Miss Chipman's wash, had the I presumption to assail a delicate white skirt, or some other feminine fixture, which was performing some prim lady-like flirtations on the line' of Miss Flan ders. Miss F. indignantly seized the offending pants, and threw them into a pile of coal-dust. Miss Chipman—her hands full of soft-soap, rushed on Miss Flanders, and filled the mouth of the latter with the saponaceous compound. "Soft-soap," em blematically speaking, is very acceptable to most people; but Miss Flanders had no relish for the gen uine article. She spit and spluttered for awhile, till she got her mouth clean—then seizing a clothes pole —(a piece of yellow pine, six feet long, and an inch and a half in diameter,) she aimed a blow at Miss C's head, which, had' it taken effect, would probably have broken the pole; but the clothes line arrested the blow, and Miss F. was thrown by the recoil into a tub of very warm water, where she remained in a sitting posture; and, as one might say, " in quite a stew," till some of the neighbors bellied hei out. She told the Mayor, when making her complaint, that she was quite raw on account,. of the scalding soapsuds; hence we infer, that she-did not stay in long enough to be thoroughly` cooked—but being only parboiled, she was probably done enough to conceive the propriety of keeping out of hot water in future. The two ladies, being equally to blame, were each recognized in $2OO to ; keep the peace.--Penten. An Eloquent Passage. The Methodist Quarterly Review for Oct. '1849, contains a very interesting article, reviewing the "Narrative of the United States Expedition to the River Jordan and the Dead Sea, by F. W. LYNCH, U. S. N., Commander of the Expedition." This article is from the eloquent and able pen of the Rev. Dr. DUBBIN', who is justly accounted to be One of the most distinguished divines of the M. E. Church. Those who do not see the Quarterly, will thank us for this extract, teeming as it does in poetry and sublimity: "On the 18th of April, the eighth day of their voyage on the Jordan, the expedition merged into the plain of Jericho, with the Mountains of Moab on their left, the terrible wilderness of Judea on their right, and the Dead Sea before them. They encamped at the Pil g rim's Ford, where the Chris tian crowds wereto bathe on the following morn. ing. A beautiful engraving illustrates this interest ing scene. Let us take mir stand on the bank, where the pilgrim host is seen descending to the water, while the American boats, with their crew's', are anchored in the stream. All are evidently filled with wonder and reverence. And well they may be; for on the distant range of the Mountains of Moab, seen beyond the river, the hosts of Israel appeared more than three thousand years ago, under the conduct of - Moses and Joshua. lJpon one of these perceptible summits stood Moses and gazed upon the Promised Land, while the Lord said unto him, "This is the land which I sware unto Abra ham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but- thiu shalt not go over thither."— Moses cast his eyes down the western declivity of the mountain, and saw his people encamped " in the plains of Moab," by the side of the river. He gazed for a moment, sad, yet full of hope and resig• nation, and then died in peace over against the Promised Land. For him, during thirty days, the sighing of the old at evening, and the wail of the young in the morning, were heard along the banks of the river. The time of possession had come: God had Con ducted the people to the gate of their future home. But it was harvest-time, and the 'swellings of the Jordan were at their height. (Joshua iii. 15.) As the day dawned the whole camp was in motion; the tents were struck; each tribe marshalled under its own banner; while at the edge of the rushing flood stood Joshua, pointing with the "rod of God" to the spot where the advancing priests, bearing the ark, were to step into the water. With unwa vering tread they approached; and as their sacred feet touched the whirling flood, it recoiled back- , wards, and stood as a high wall above them, while below it rolled away to the Dead Sea, laying bare the deep bed of the river. Here the ark of God rested on the bottom until the whole host had "passed over on dry ground," and stood in silent wonder on the‘very spot where the pilgrims are seen in the foreground of the picture. As the ark came up from beneath the wall of water, the floods returned. Then the air was rent with a shout of triumph which startled the city of Jericho at hand, and died away amid the hills of Palestine. . . More than a thousand years have passed away, when on this same spot appeared an austere man, of commanding form and powerful voice, whose life had been spent in the terrible wilderness which borders the plain of Jericho to the west, and, lifting his hand on high, ha cried to his guilty countrymen, "repent ye for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." He required them to be baptiSed in the Jordan, as a symbol of this kingdom. The pungent reproofs, and the earnest faith of the Baptist, drew the whole ! country to the river; and the streets of Jerusalem became silent, because in Penitence and hope the inhabitants had gone down to be baptized. Sud denly the Baptist paused in his holy work; and, agitated and silent, he stood looking intently on a meek but heavenly form that was appronthing for baptism. John recoiled from the holy and myste• rious person, and forbade him, saying,l have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?— And Jesus said, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becomo us to fulfil all righteousness." The vast multitude breathed not, as these two mysterious beings descended into the water. As the sacred person of Jesus ascended from the river, a mild illumination, in the form of a "dove," crowned his blessed head; and the multitude was suddenly awakened to a comprehension of the great event, by "a voice from heaven, saying, This is my be loved Son, in whom 7 am well pleased: hear ye him." Nearly two thousand years have passed away since this great event, and yet its powerful associa tions are felt throughout the Christian world. By the 15th of April of each year, a vast crowd of men, women, and children, from Europe, Asia. Africa, aed America, are assembled in Jerusalem. As the morning dawns on Mount Olivet. the Mo hammedan governor of the city, with an imposing military brigade, is seen deploying through the Damascus gate, while the pilgrims, some on foot, some on horseback, some on camels, some on don keys, are assembled outside of St. Stephen's gate the aged and sick, the women and children, are in baskets or large panniers slung over the backs of camels. As the gay cortege of the Turk winds round the western and southern slope of Olivet, the Christian host, in the most picturesque confusion, follows in his train for protection. At eventide they are on the plains of Jericho, about a mile from the. Jordan. The gay tent of the governor is the centre of the thousand groups which, under the open heavens, are assembled around their little fires. These die out as the night advances, but sleep comes not to the weary and excited multitudes; for they are to bathe to-morrow morning in the Jordan, where the Lord of life and glory was bap tized. At three o'clock, A. M., the camp is in motion, and the columns advance, in eager disorder, to the margin of the river. The lusty swimmer leaps into the sacred flood—the timid female seizes the branch of a willow tree, and lets herself down three times beneath the water—the feeble old man is steadied by his brawny son, and as he comes up from the stream he feels that he is content, for the purposes of his life are accomplished. Suddenly a faint shriek was heard, and a shiver, first of horror, and then of joy, runs through tl multitude. The rapid current has carried away a pilgrim, and she finds an enviable burial in the holy river. Scarcely two hours have elapsed, and the vast multitude is retracing-its steps across the sandy plain; bearing on high branches of willow, acacia, or cane, which they have plucked from the banks and dipped into the sacred waters. An hour more and the rear portions of that wonderful throng have disappeared high up in the dark craggy mountains of the wilderness of Judea, and at night will sleep under the walls of Jerusalem, around the garden of Gethsemane and the tomb of the blessed Virgin..= in the valley of the Kedron. ETERNITY. BY C. D. STUART Thou rollest on, 0 ! deep, unmeasured sea, Thy length and depth a mystery profound ; Days, weeks, years, centuries—in immensity Pass on, nor leave a footstep, nor a sound. Thou lightest up thy smooth, unwrinkled brow, Beyond the limit of our utmost thought; A shoreleSs space—where Ages mutely bow Like bubbles on thy bosom, and•are not! We hear a tramp of feet, we see a throng Of generations flashing through the gloom ; They fade, and others rise, and far along Thy caverns yawn, and Nature finds her tomb In thee- . —but thou, nor young, nor old, art evermore Onelill-pervading space—a sea without a shore ! Y: Tribune. SHOE FACTORY IN Gxonor.i..—There is it Ata lanta, Ga., an extensive boot and shoe manufactory,. which has recently been ,established by Messrs. J. T. & T. J. Humphries, and, though but a little over six months in operation turns out from twelve to fifteen hundred pairs of boots and shoes monthly. The demand far exceeds the capacity of the estab lishment, and Atalanta bids fair to become the "Lynn" of the South. The shoes made are' of va rious descriptions, but chiefly the coarse russets for negroes, and are sold cheaper than the New Eng , land.shoes. The workmen are paid by the piece and earn from eight to ten and some even twelve dollars per week. 117 - The most tender-hiarted man we ever saw was a shoemaker, who always shut his eyes and whistled, when he run,his awl into a shoe.

Practice vs. Precept. We copy the following paragraph from the Ken tucky Statesman: THE WAY TILE Worn ADMINISTRATION PRdTECTS nu HEMP ,GROWERS.—For some time previous to the middle of August last, or thereabouts, the pres ent government at Washington advertised for bro. posals to furnish Ameiican hemp for the uselot the United States navy. Various bids were offered by t'mp-growers in the West, and the time for open ing the bids and awarding the contracts has long since passed; but nothing is yet known as to who are the successful applicants. It has, however, been ascertained that all the American bids have been rejected; which leaves the inference that Rus sian hemp has been prefered. Can the Washington Union give us any light upon this subject? Wes tern men feel some interest in knowing how this Whig administration proposes to "protect American industry.- We are unable to give our friend of the Statesman the information which he desires. We presume, however, that the American hemp grower is to be protected by this administration very much in the same way in which the American carpet manufac turer is protected--viz`:. by purchasing of RUssia all the hemp needed by the United States navy, as all the carpets used in the White House are boutht in England. To preach one thing and do another is' a settled axiom in the creed of federalism every where.— Union. IMPORTANT TO BUILITERS.—Few people, says an exchange, are aware of the advantages-, of wetting brick before laying them. A wall twelve inches thick, built of good mortar, with brick welt soaked, is stronger, in every respect, than one sixteen inches thick built dry. The reason is, that if the bricks are saturated with water they will not abstract from the mortar the moisture - which is necessary to chrystalization ; and, on the contrary, they will unite chemically with the mortar, which becomes firmly cemented together. CAUSE Op THE LATE EXPLOSION.--The editor of the ..New Orleans Delia has given the cause of the late disastrous explosion of the boilers of the steam boat Louisiana, a thorough investigation, and has come to the conclusion that the accident . was the result of ignorance or neglect of the engineer. The principal engineer, it appears, was absent, and the engine was under the superintendence of the assistant. SAN Fnesrmsco.—A letter from San Francisco dated Oct. Ist says: "San Francisco is a city building up faster by ten times than any ever before known in Any part of the world. Houses, brought in all directions ready made; rise up as if by magic. Lots costing $2O sell for $25,000 to $30,000. A house costing in the States $5OO, sells here for $2,000; expense of putting up about $5OO more, and it rents the moment it is ready for $3OO per month. SCIENCE IN A SCHOOL.--A school teacher, a young lady, put the question to her scholars one morning, " Who made your The largest boy in school could not tell, neither could any of the setiol ars, till she questioned the smallest and youngist urchin in the school—He answered promptly that God made him. The teacher, turning to the larg est boy, said—" Are you not ashamed .notto know what this little fellow knows?" "He," replied the "big un" "Thunder? think he might khow; "taint a- fortnight - sincu -- he was made!" NO. 48. S & Lycom'g
