JACK FROST'S LECTURE;
OR, A SKETCH FOR I'HE SKATERS.
In Snowball-road, not far from Winter-square,
Stanes .kater's Hall— a very fine affair.
And here, for years, while many a form has shivered,
.Jack Frost his annual lecture has delivered.
So being fond of skates, as well as rhymes
(For poets condescend to skate at times),
I Purposed that when Jack should lecture next,
I'd go and listen how he used his text.
The time arrived, and posters on the wall
Announced Jack Frost's address at Skaters' Hall.
So in I went, with half-a• guinea ticket,
And got a sitting, just in time to pick it.
hellall was shortly filled to suffocation,
,4114 every one appeared in expectation.
But though we thus were jammed, as in a vice,
Each auditor appeared as cold as ice.
At lelgth the learned lecturer arose,
While greeting hundreds, stamped with tingling toes ;
id wishing all to know what there I heard,
copied down the lecture, word for word.
„Ladies and Gentlemen," said Master Jack,
I chiefly dwelt on skates a twelvemonth back ;
_but now I really think I can't do less
Than let you know my thoughts on

CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL
LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.
INVALID LIVES.
Inaddition to the ordinary Assurance of Healthy Lives, this So-
ciety, early in the year 1824, originated the plan of granting Policies
on the Lives of Persons more or less deviating from the standard of
health: Having issued one-fourth of the whole number of Policies
on Lives of that description, the Board have recently caused a careful
investigation into this branch of the business to be made. The result
Of this investigation has proved highly satisfactory as to the past, and
encouraging for the future. The data derived from long experience
in this class of cases, and exclusively available by this Society, en.
able the Directors to state with confidence their conviction that the
system now adopted by them for Assuring Invalid Lives is as sere
and beneficial as that upon which the scale for Healthy Lives is con-
structed.

• BONUSES.
The Two First Divisions averaged 221. per cent. on the Premiums
Paid. The Third, 28/. per cent. The FOURTH Bonus, declared
January, 1847, averaged rather more than 361. per cent. ; and from
the large amount of Profit reserved for future appropriation, and
other causes, the Bonuses hereafter are expecled to exceed that
amount.

The Balance Sheets of this Society (containing every item of Re-
ceipt and Expenditure) are at all times open for the inspection of
itny of the Assured.
