LIFE ASSURANCE.

Besides the perfect security to the policy holder of a large
paid up capital, and accumulating funds, the following is one
amongst many of the advantages which belong exclusively to
the principles of Life Assurance and Deferred Annuities ori-
ginated by the Society, viz.—Power to borrow (without de-
lay, expense, or forfeiture) Two-thirds of all premiums paid
upon a Policy of Assurance.
The annexed is a short Table, showing the Annual Premium
for assuring £lOO on the Whole Lite, or for a Term :

DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.
By the plan exclusively developed by this Society, a single
Deferred Annuity is made, not only to answer the same object,
but to far exceed in amount the entire benefit of all the ad-
vantages heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious
classes through separate investments in Savings' Banks, Be-
nefit Societies, and Loan Banks.
1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at the age of 20, will give the policy holder the fol-
lowing option, at the age of 65
Annuity for remainder of life... £.l7 16 6

Policy, without further contributions, of 466.0 oat death.
Other periods of life (of 50, 55, and 60) may be also taken
with similar advantages.
2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
case of premature death.
N.B. Policies, as collateral money-security, for periods of
one to five years, effected at lower rates than are charged by

DOUBLEfPATENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND.
PERRY and CO. having effected considerable
improvement in their FILTER INKSTAND, hare
now the pleasure to announce that a Second Patent has been
granted to them for such improvement, which they have united
with their First Patent, under the title of " DOUBLE PA-
TENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND." The eulogy
bestowed on the Patent Filter Inkstand by the public .lournals,
and the preference obtained for them over the common Ink-
stands was almost unprecedented. The present novel and sci-
entific method of supplying Clear Ink to the Dipping Cup, and
returning it into the reservoir, is exceedingly simple, the action
being now performed by merely lifting up the lid to obtain a
supply, and shutting it down to withdraw it ; in this state it
cannot overflow, whatever may be the change of temperature,
and it is protected from dust or other injury in any place or
climate. When the inkstand is filled, it is always ready for use,
and the writer will have a regular and daily supply of Clear
Ink for four or six months.
PERRYIAN LIMPID INK.

This Ink has a flowing property peculiar to itself, and does
not corrode Metallic Pens as other Inks.—ln Bottles, 6d., Is.,
and 2s. Each

Sold by James Perry and Co., Patentees and Manufacturers,

Dealers in such articles.

Morning, but not in the Evening.

AS Manhood approaches, the human form, coun-
tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, ra-
pidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating
image after image of ideal perfection. But in the preSent state of
society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob-
structed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course
of wild and injurious indulgence, and the mind becomes painfully
harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state
relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the
ignorant ; in either case at the expense of health, that being only
palliated which should have been effectually cured. Here we propose
to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the
pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge
ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison. and to restore
(its wonted energy every relaxation of the generative economy,
whether from this or other causes, whereby the dignity of manhood
shall have become impaired ; equally contemning unfeeling empy-
ricism, which with reckless ignorance destroys where It should re-
store ; and, on the other hand, that unworthy principle" whose
pmud selfishness increases the embarrassment offthe afflicted. All
classes of society, the Angl,lndian pan icularly, and those whose
constitutions are enfeebled by the effects of a tropical climate, as
well as such as are about to enter intmatrimonial life, are included
In the limits of this address, and to all we confidently offer the
result of many years' successful practice.
Daily attendance is given for personal consultation's and immediate
answers are returned to country letters which must minutely de-
scribe the case, and contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine,
which can be forwarded to anyiart of the world however distant.—
No difficulty can occur, as the edicine will' be securely packed, and
carefully protected from obser ation.
