WHAT Is LIFE INsURANcE?-1. 1t Is the ex-
ercise of prudence, of beHevoence. 2. 1t secures
independence, domestic happiness TO the widow
and orphan. 3. Is more efiicacious IN its opera
tlons as regards the moral and domestic comfort
of the people, and its tendency 10 reduce taxa
ton, by IFS retuction Of pauperism, and possibly
of criIne than the legislation Of our wisest states
men: and, if universally adopted, would be a ma
tonai blessing. d. II affords to persons of every
class. and in every station of life, the means 10
avoid much future misery TO their families, and to
render them independent of public OIL private
charity.
While il is the manifest and imperative duty OF
every parent, curing his lifetime, 10 embrace all
honorable means Of supporting and advancing the
interest OF his offspring, so II IS equally his duty
10 avoid leaving them at his death TO grope their
way in helpless poverty through an uncharitable
world; and equally apparent is the duty of every
husband to provide, in Of his death, for the
surviving widow To effect all which Life lnsu-
rance Companies have been formed, which enable
every husband and parent, by the payment OF a
small sum, eiihers nnually or quarterly, TO pro-
yidefor his widow and fatherless children.

NEwsPAPERs.-A'man eats up a pound
of sugar, and the pleasure lie had enjoyed
Is ended; but the information he gets from
a newspaper is treasured up in the mind,
TO be used whenever occasion or inclination
calls for il; for newspaper is not the wis
dom Of one man, or two men-i. is the
wisdom of the uge-ef past sges, too. A
family without newspaper is always an
age behind the times in general information
besides they never think much, ner find
much to think about. And there ere the
little ones growing up in ignor anoe, without
taste fOr reading. Besides oil these evils,
there's the wife, which, when her work is
done, has TO sit down with her hands in
her lap, and nothing to amuss her mind

TIE CLrRcY LoxG LIvED.-In the obit-
uary notices for 1858, just published by
Judge Crosby, of Massachusetts, it seems
that the average age of all the clergymea
whose age. are given (lSl. is GA; and
the average age of oil the physicians (22D
is 81, making difference of over four years
in the longevity of the two Professions
Thi, result confirms other facts, showing
that the clergy, as a class, are long lived
though a different impression prevails "a
mong many people. OF the ISL obituary
notices of clergymsn in this work, 80 were
over 70 wears old % over so years, Z over
80 wears, and 2 ever 100 yesrs old.

WISHES OF AN OLD FoGY.-A cores
pondent OF one of our exchanges longs for
the good old times in such terms as the
following. -... .' .'... p.
Il am not sure that the telegraph is any
benefit to the country. Formerly, before
the telegraph was invented, it took so long
to transmit news, that one part Of the coun-
try got over the excitement before another
could hear the exciting news; but now,
transmitted as it is by Lightning from one
end OF the country TO the other, the whole
people get excited at the same time, and
blaze away at each other by means of the
wires. Now give me the good old days Of
slow; w;coaches, sleepy papers, dull villages,
peace and harmony, rather than this con-
stant excitement, exsggeration, passion, fs-
yer, fuss, and fury. ..

Going With the Girls.

The entrance into society, may be said tc
take place Immediately after boyhood has
passed away, ye. multitude take the inia-
tive, before their boards are presenttble.--
II is great trial either at tender Or
tough age, for an overgrewn boy TO 90 to
door, knowing we'll that there are dozen
girls inside, and TO knock or ring with an
absolute certainty That in two minutes all
eyes will be upon him, is a severe test Of
courage. Togo before these girls, and
make tour Of the room, without stepping
on their toes, and sit down ard dispose Of
his hands, without putting them in his
pocket, is sn achievement Of which few boys
can boast. II boy can 60 SO far as to meas
ure OF ten yards Of tape with one Of the
girls, and cut it short at each end, be may
stand chance TO pass pleasant ev ening,
but let him not fattsr himself that all the
trials of the evening are ever.
There comes, at last, the breaking up
The dear girls doa their hoods, and put OF
their shawls, and look so saucy and mis-
chievous, so unimpressible and indepeueni
as if they didn't wish anybody TO 60 homo
with them. Then comes the pinch, and
the boy that has the most pluck goes to the
prettisst girl, his heart in his throat, and
his tongue olinging TO the roof of lis mouth:
and crooking out his elbow, stammers out
the words, Shall | see you hone?' She
touches her fingers TO his arm, and they
walk home, feeling as awkward as two
gosllDgs. As soon as she is safe within
her own door, be struts home, and really
thinks he has been, and gone and done it,
Sleep comes 10 him, at last; with dreams Of
Harriet and..callco, and he wakes in the
morning. and finds the door Of life open &c
him and he pigs squealing for breakfast.
WEBsTER's APosTRoPuE TO THE UEIoH.
The sublime and eloquent words of Dam
ieI Webster, in reply &c Hayne, are familiar
TO most Of American readers; yet they are
wort, of being reprinted thousand times,
and are especially appropriate at the pres
ent iuncture. Said be: '-,f
when my eyes shall be turned to behold
for the last time the sun in Heaven, may !
not see him SHINING on the broken and
dishonered fragments of q once glorious Un-
ion; on States discovered, discordant, delig-
erent; on land rent with civil feuds, or
drenehed it may be, in fraternsl blood! Let
heir last feeble and lingering glance rather
behold the gorgeous ensign Of the Republic,
now known and honored throughout the
earth, still full high advanced, its arms and
trophies streaming in their original lusisr,
net stripe erased or polluted, not a single
star obscured, bearing for its motto no such
miserable interrogatory as "Nhat is oil this
WORTH" nor those ether words Of delusian
and folly, Liberty first and Union after
wards" but every rywhere spread all over in
characters Of living light, blazing on all its
ample folds, es they float over the sea and
over the land, and in every wind under the
whole heavens, that other sentiments dear
to every true American heart-Liber:y and
