of any single year since the formation of the Company, ex-

The Bonus apportioned to the Assured, with participation,
amounts to £2 per cent. per annum, to be added to the origi-
nal sum assured of EVERY PARTICIPATING POLICY
effected previously to the Ist of January, 18,58, for each entire

LiI3ECTACLES.—SIGHT AND HEARING.-
DEAFNESS.—A newly-invented instrument for ex-
treme cases of deafness, called the SOUND MAGNIFIER,
Organic Vibrator, and Invisible Voice Conductor. It fits so
into the ear as not to be in the least perceptible ; the unplea-
sant sensation of ringing noises in the head is entirely re--
moved. It affords instant relief to deaf persons, and enables
them to hear distinctly at Church and at public assemblies.
Every other kind-of hearing instruments. Messrs. SOLO-
MONS have invented spectacle lenses of the greatest trans-
parent power. The valuable advantage derived from their
invention is, that vision becomes preserved and strengthened ;
very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the
most minute occupation, can see with these lenses of a much'
less magnifying power, and they do not require the frequent
changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assist- •

THE GREAT SOCIAL MYSTERY. The
recentra new problem whichchangeintb
elalv of Separation
the i n
gaennduiDtyivoofrcesochinal
raised u
philosophers to solve. In a nation so renowned as this for
the sanctity of its domestic ti it
so many 98,appears unaccountable that
marriages, eOnt meted ender circumstances apparently
auspicious, should result in sorrow, disgust, and degradation,
and that this should occur even to those who before wedlock
had passionately loved each other.
If the inquirers into the cause of this mystery had consulted
the
great book of nature, instead of dwelling on conventional
theori.
es, they might probably have had less difficulty in
prriting at the truth. Rave they ever sufficiently considered
how much these constant revelations of unhappy marriages
may be connected with a peculiar INFLUENCE, frequently
originating in corrupt associations at college, or at school,
and the pernicious effects of which, too often unsuspected by
medical men poison the very well-springs of life, and produce
many of the disappointments witnessed in the connubial state.
It. is a mat.t,, that deeply concerns the well-being of thou-
Ss,uln who have no idea of the danger that threatens them.
Every person of intelligence should ask himself whether there
be not something in his past life which admits of the possi-
bility that be himself may be concerned, either at present or
prospectively, in the subject. Science and experience, founded
on professional study, have happily discovered effectual means
of relief • but it is important that care be taken in selecting
the quarter from whence assistance's sought. Dr. LA' **l
