LIFE INsuRANcE.-We would call the atten-
ton of our readers to the advertisement in our
columns of the Charter Oak Life Insurance
Company-one of the best in the country.
This Company will grant Insurance on lives
upon the Mutual principle, and also upon the
Joint Stock plan at low rates. Persons may
effect Insurance on their own lives, and upon
the lives of others, and for the whole duration
of life, or for limited period.
The great and especial object of Life Insu-
rance, is to secure the wife and children against
want and misery after the death of the husband
and father; though it is practically useful, as
may be seen in great variety of other cases.
To accomplish this, a very small daily saving,
in most cases, answers the purpose. -Four cents
day, commencing at the age of twenty-one,
will insure one thousand dollars at death,
whether immediate or remote, and five cents a
day at the age of twenty-eight, will accomplish
the same object.

The DRoP GAME.-Three Maine men in

"drop game at or on the way to Boston,
This "game,' says the Belfast Journal, is al

some "dosh,' which he expects to recover of
the owner, if he can be found-lf not, why he
takes the lot. We do not much pity the VIC

70 We have heard the wish expressed that
the Sabbath afternoon services in our churches
would commence at three o'clock, instead of
two, as has been the custom in summer. This
would, we think, be a decided improvement,
not only as regards the comfort Of hearers, but
as relief to the clergymen, who would proba-
bly, have more wakeful audiences at that hour,
than during the hottest part of the day, which
is usually between one and three o'clock, and
we would respectfully suggest to our church
going citizens reform in this matter.

Where burning cities gild the night,
Where cannon smoke obscures the day;
