Life Insurance.

The business of Life Insurance is of
comparatively modern origin. The
plan Ct operation, and the advantages
of the institution, the mass of the peo-
pie are not acquainted with. Many
intelligent persons are Of the Impress
ion that it means a guarantee against
death" This is not only mot the
fact" but it would be very silly bus
mess, for any company to engage
in, when they have but to open
their eyes and see. men, women and
children of all ages and conditions
tumbling over into the earth from
whence they cane, in obedience to an
ordinance which is more rigidly en-.
forced than the law regulating taxes.
The public mind should therefore be
disabused on this subject. Life Insu-
rance, does not guarantee longer, or a
safer, or better life. Death is GER
tain to follow, whether the policy runs
out, or is renewed. What then is life
Insurance Why. it is guarantee
that the Giving" shall be provided
for-secured from perjury and want
by the dead. Strange as it may seem.
this is substantially the fact. 1t is
shown from life tables. thatjust as sure
as so many births take place during
the year, so many deaths will occur.
Life Insurance is a solemn compact
entered into between charitable good
people, that they will take care Of one
other; the certainty Of death ratifes
the contract.
Is there any thing more charitable
than this? Is there any thing less
partial in its benevolance Is there
any thing based upon more practical
BILE principles of Christianity than this?
We who are interested in Life Insu-
rance Agency, think not. Let us sup
pose for instance, that the Great Globe
itself was embrace! = the bonds of an
affectionate Life Insurance Company
not only all the gold in the Allega-
MES, but all the rich fruits of the
"f.our quarters" were mortgaged, and
| al the untold jewels of the Vastly deep
pledged. to secure the faithful perform
cry and vice, which is the parent Of
sin, be frightened from this sublu.
nary half MOON We think so. The
dead, could then go silently to sleep
in a patent coffin of Mr.. Fisks manu-
facture, with the consciousness that their
spirits would revisit the earth, in the
substantial shape Of silver dollars, the
tingling sound of which would be very
agreeable to the ear Of a distressed
family.
An article from the St. Louis Even
ing News, is before us, on the subject
Of Life insurance we would like to
transfer it entire to our columns. The
article has particular reference to the
Mutual Life Insurance Company,
Of New York, Of which it says: "The
surplus amount after paying losses
and expenses, divided amongst the
insured in the city Of New York only,
amounted on the LIST Of February last
to a fraction less than 100000. This
amount is just 50 much of the actual
premium paid which is returned again
not to the payor but his wife and
children, or whoever else the policy is
| in favor of.

and wore lasting than for a Christian
or Mahomedan to have his nose pull
ed. A Chinaman who stole $500 at
Dry Town in California, was sentenced
to receive rs lashes and have his cue
cut off. The lashes were supportable
but when it come to cutting off his cue
he begged Justify, and asked to be
killed rather than be deprived of his
sacred cue. After being dealt with
in this manner by the Christians he
was turned over to his own people
WHIPPED again, and his left ear cut off.
He was then marched off to San
Francisco, but the party in charge of

him aside and blew his brains out.
