A LL Persons insuring in this company are
x3L members equally interested in its welfare
and in the eieciion of its office's.
In order to become a member of this company
and thereby be insured, the applicant gives a pre
mium note, the amount of which is in proportion
to the amount to be insured, and its degree of
hazard, thus: If $1000 is to be insured, at 5 per
cent., he gives his note for 650. If at 1 0 per cent,
he gives his note for $100. and in that proportion
for a. greater or less sum, according to the rate of
hazard, on wh;ch noie he advances G per cent, and
nn nrWVninnal sum of Si 50 for survey and policy
He then becomes a member on the approval of
his application and is insured lor live years, ine
aon reoate of the premium notes constitutes the
cash fund, chaigable first, with the expenses, and
second, with tbe'losses of the Company; and
s'.mjld it prove insufficient lo pay both losses and
expenses the money to meet Ihe losses, (should
any occur) is borrowed agreeably to the act of in
corporation, aod paid. An assessment is then
made lo repay sueh loan upon the premium notes,
in proportion to their respective amounts, and in no
case to be.'madc but once a year, notwithstanding
several losses may bappen.
At the expiration of five years the note, if any
assessments have been made and paid, is given
up. and the insured may renew his application.
Policies ni3y at any time be assigned or sur
rendered and cancelled, and the premium notes
given up. according to the by-laws of the Com
pany. No mote t;3an three fourths of the cash
value of any property will be insured, 3ml all
great hazards: such as Cotton Factories, Powder
Mills, Disti"eries. Machine Shops. Manufactories
for Primers lot, and all establishments of the
same class of hazards, are not insured upon any
conditions whatever, and that no one risk is taken
over $3000, it is considered mucti more safe and
less expensive than in Stoc k companies, where
they insure large amounts and hazardous proper

LINES.
BY EDWARD YOUNG.
Let those who will, repine at fate
And droop their heads with sorrow,; J
I laugh when cares upon me wait ;
1 know iheyMl leave to-morrow. .
My purse is light, but what of that!
My heart is light to match it ;
And if 1 tear my only coat,
1 laugh the while I patch it.
I've seen some elves, who called themselves
My friends, in summer weather;
Blown far away in sorrows day,
As. winds would blow a feather,
I never grieved to see them go ;
(The rascals, who would heed 'cm'.)
For what's the use of having friends,
If false when you most need 'em. ,
I've seen some, in worldly gear, '
Eternally repining.
Their hearls a prey to every fear;
With gladness never shining,
1 would not change my lightsome heart,, r
For all their gold and sorrow;
For that's a thing that all their wealth;
Can neither pay nor borrow.
And still when sorrows .come to me,
(As sorrows someiimes will come,) . .
I lindane way to make them flee, ,
Is bidding them right welcome, j
They cannot book a cheerful look,
They're used to sobs and sighing,
And he that meets them with a smile,
Is sure to set them flying. " .

N'nthinrr is more sublime in nature than a war
horse, half frightened to death, and a village

There is perhaps not a more odious charac
ter in the world than that of a go-between by
which I mean that creature who carries to the
ears of one neighbor every injurious observa
tion that happens to drop from the mouth of
another. Such a person is the slanderer's her
ald, snd is altogether more odious than the
slanderer himself. By this vile ofliciousness,
he makes that poison effective, which else
were inert; for three fourths of the slanderers
would nerer injure their object, except by the
malice of go-betweens, who, under the mask of
double friendship, act the part of double traitors.

An Indian complained to a retailer that Ihe
price of his liquor was too high. The latter in
justification said that it cost as much to keep a
hogshead of brandy as to keep a cow. 1 he
Indian replied, "May be he drink 33 much
water, but he no cat so much hay.
Very Much. v
Speaking of ice, a "down east" editor re
marks that "ice made in the eastern states, is
much better, inaswwcA as it is much cooler than
that produced out west. ' Much as this man

know much.

The editor of the Richmond Star, iri making
hia great Northern tour, says ho travelled three
hundred miles with three ladies, and not a single
band-box. Either there i a great reform go-
ing on in the world, or great travellers have not
ceased to be great story tellers.

Fashionable Gait. The Sunday Mercury
says. "We like to see a young lady walk as

so fascinating. She is just the match for the

A Western Court Boom;
In spite of all the officers could do, the tip
roar increased, some whistling, some cutting
the tables and benches, some smoking segars,
and cracking walnuts on the old fashioned
stores, when our attention was directed to a
double-fisted fellow, who appeared desirous to
get up a small fight; "h It's afloat and the riv
er's a risin' " said he; "I'm the yallar flower of
the forest, a locomotive, a flash and a half of
lightning, a perfect thundergust who wants to
fight?" Some half dozen officials laid hands
upon our violent friend, and pulled him before
the judge, where he reiterated his challenge,
shook his fist in his honor's face, and declared
himself to he "a horse and no mistake." "Put
that horse in the stable," said the Court. "You
am't in right down rale earnest, are you?" said
this modern Sampson "Indeed I am," replied
the judge. "What mayhap your name be;"
"Colter," said the Court. "Then" screeched
out the other, "by Mars, you're not to deep to
plough this ground, so look out for roots and
rattle snakes, if ever y.ou come fooling your
time up at Buzzard's settlement." "Take the
prjsoner to jail, Mr. Sheriff."
A friend relates the following incident which
occurred on a late trip up the Mississippi: It
was at least an hour before daylight, and our
good boat, the Rocky mountain, was stemming"
her way against a heavy current, when we
were startled by a heavy concussion, which
threw several of the passengers out of their
berths. In a moment all was confusion the
bell rang, engine stopped, and wc all hastened
to the bow of the boat, where an angry discus
sion was heard between our captain, who was
a man of violent passions, and some one who
appeared to be on a level with the water. A
moment sufficed to explain our situation, and
we could not hejp laughing to see our fine boat
high up half of-her length, on a large raft. By
ihis tune we had floated a considerable distance
down the river, and our captain seeing it, gave
way to a dreadful fit of rcge: yelling, tearing
his hair, and showering volleys of oaths at the
captain of the raft, who to us seemed (as it was
too dark to see) either unwilling or unable fo
talk, and finally concluded by avowing a deter
mination of getting down and giving the rafts
man a thrashing.
'Before you do that, stranger,' growled a
deep voice from the raft, 'you had better bring
out a light and look at me I rather think ydu
would alter your mind.'
A light was brought, and if ever a man had
reason to rescind a resolution, it was our cap
lain. There stood a giant, full seven feet high,
with a broad brim hat on his head, a red flan
nel shirt open in front, disclosing a chest as
broad as an o.v, and his legs clothed in buck
skin leggins, which evidently had once an In
dian owner. Placing himself in an attitude, he
screeched out
'What do you think of me: aint I the tallest
specimen of a man that you over seed; do you
want to fight now, little catamount? How
would you like to take a licking in broken do
ses? you confounded dupe, you. I am the
very chap that has been runing down all the flat
boats on the river how do you like a raft?
hurra for the king of the whirlwinds: he's a
hoss, and no mistake!1
Explanations and expostulations endued; and
in an hour, by the aid of the raftsmen, we were
again under way. As the raft swept by us
with the current, her captain sang out
'The next time you want to fight in the dark,
my little follow, have a light fotched out first,
or you might run agin a snag."
A busy fellow;
The New Era says there is an editor down
cast, who is not only his own compositor, press
man and devil, but keeps a tavern, is village
schoolmaster, captain in the military, mends his
own boots and shoes, makes patent Brandreth
pills, peddles essences and tin-ware two days
in the week, and always reads sermons on the
Sabbath, when the minister happens to bo mis
sing. In addition lo all lhi3, he has a wife and
sixteen children. The Boston Morning Post
saya that this is not all he owns a schooner,
and came to Boston with a cargo of onions and
potatoes last fall, raised by himself, and gave
notice to his subscribers, when ho left, that the
issuing of the next number of his paper would
depond on the wind atmospherical and linan
ciat we suppose.
Baltimore papers soften down the uncouth
term "mobs," and call them "spontaneous meet
ings." This is nearly as polite as the Rev. J.N. Maf
fit. In hia sermons he styles a certain gentle
man His Satannic Majesty." Well, it is best
perhaps for him to he polite, there's no know
ing where he may want a frioml some day.
Extracts from Miss Eeeelier's Treatise
on Domestic Economy.
While Wash. There is nothins wtich so
much improves the appearance of a house and
the premises, as painting or whitewashing tne
tenements -and fences. The following receipts
for whitewashing, Have been found by experi
ence, to answer the same purpose of wood,
brick and atone, as oil-paint, are much cheaper.
The first is the receipt used for the Presideni's
house at Washington, improved by further ex
periments. The second is a simpler and cheap
er one, which the writer has known to succeed
in a variety of cases lasting as long and looking
as well as white oil paint.
Receipt. Take half a bushel of unslacked
lime, and slack it with boiling hot water, cov-
, . . ,
cring it during the process. Strain it and add
a peck of salt dissolred in warm water; three
pounds of ground rice boiled to a thin paste, put
. . . iti" if i
in boiling not; hall a pouna ot powuerea Span
ish whiiine; and a pound of clear jilua'dissolved
in water. Mix, and let it stand several day..
Then keen it in a kettle on a portable furnace,-
4 t
and put on as hot as possible, with a painter's
or whitewash brush.
Another. Make whitewash in the usual
wnv. excent that the water used should have
' J 7 i
two double handfuls of salt dissolved, in each
pailful of the hot water used. Then stir in a
double handful of sand, to make it thick like
cream. This is better to be put on hot. Col
oring matter can be added to both, making' a
light stone color; a cream color, or allight buff,
which are most suitable tor buildings. t
To Preserve Bacox from Flies. My
simple mode of preserving Bacon may be bf
use to some of your readers. I lay it down in
charcoal, and find it preserved from the fly and
kept perfectly sweet, without any further trou
ble than putting the coal between the several
layers. I do not even pound the coal up fine,
but take it from the coal heap just as it comes,
coarse and fine together, When I want a cut
of bacon, I take it off, put the remainder back,
or throwing some of the fine charcoal on the
fresh cut surface, hang up he remainder, and
so cut from it till it is all consumed. The flies
will not touch it. The coal dust is easily wash
ed off before cooking, and the coal in which it
has been packed, is as good for burning as ever.

Close of i&e Week.
A week ! It is but a short time indeed ; but
its events are a host, its changes many. To
whom has the week justnbout to'close brought
joy? to whom, sorrow? to whom, riches?
to whom, poverty? to whonij friends? to
whom, enemies ? to whom; love? to whom,
hatred? to whom, freedom? to whom, mise
ry ? to whom, happiness ? to whom, sick
ness ? lo whom; health ? to whom, life ? or,
to whom, death ? What! all these changes
in one week? Yea, and a host, more numer
ous than the sends ol the sea. Many who saw
the dawning of the present week will be in
another world ere it3 close ; many upon whom
fortune Smiled but a week ago, are now groan
ing beneath the withering frowns of poverty;
many who were floating gently on the bark -of
life, o'er the uttrufHed sea of happiness, a week
ago are now wrecks of rum on the shores of
affliction ; many upon whom the sun of last
Sabbath shone propitiously, have, ere this time
met with some misfortune, and are turned upon
the world the children of poverty; and many,
whose expectations and hopes were beaming
forth bright and prosperous at the dawn of the
week, find themselves at the clnse the sad and
miserable beings of cruel disappointment.
And such is the fate of man ! It is subject
to changes in a week, a day, nay, eTen an hour.
The world is still in commotion revolution
succeeding revolution; time whirling in its rapid
progress, leaving behind it traces of destruction.
And even in a small community many thrilling
and exciting circumstances might be summed
up and recorded at the close of each week.
Wlao can solve lliis Problem?
Fill a wine glass to the brim with water, or
if possible, raise it higher than the edge, "by
letting one drop fall at a time until the wator
presents a convex surface. When this is done
drop into the glass as many common pins an
will fill it, and the water will not overflow.
This simple experiment may be easily tried,
but I have never seen it explained. Water is
not compressible in a wine glass and the pins
are made of solid metal, yet the water jm thn
glass remains as it was before the pifis were
dropped in.
"Money," says the adago, "is tha root of all
evil !" If it is, it is very scarce root just now.
It appears to hare been rooted out from among
us. We do not perceive tiat the people are a
grain better for the scarcitywe think they aro
worse---! hey aro cer.ainly worse off. If it be an
evil, it is a very necessary one. Our maxim
is, "of two evils, choose the least ;" and as
money is acknowledged to bo a necessary evil,
we hope tlm root will speedily take root and
spread its branches far and near. We will
cheerfully pocket our share of the evil. Amer
