DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con•
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, er weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, er a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
itreugh this Society,

MOne half the world are desolately single, and G the other
Supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution aid worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
oomprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form ax item
In the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
Neglect weand mere sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern yea, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in L vols., ls.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone er
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price ls. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Nappy. They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
