LIFE INSURANCE /!
ANCARD.

OA4L4Is
This mornings "PREss'' contains statements from
the Agent of the '1Iutual Benefit Life Insurance
Co." which have tendency to inure the standing of
other equally substantial Companies having Agencies
in Portland, and we therefore feel called upon in
ssll-defence and without the slightest wish to dis
parage the company in question, for which Mr.. Spar
row claims such Immense superiority, to state, up
the authority, and by the figures furnished in.the
able report of the Insurance Of the State
Of Massachusetts,, which we shall be pleased to show
at any time, that the sDIutual Benefts Is simply
perfectly reliable and safe institution, and that the
other companies represented m this city, are shown
by the report to be equally so in every respect
For this reason, and parties DESTROYS Of doing
business in fair and honorable manner, are sur
prised that the Agent the sutnal Beueft" should
feel called upon to disparage both In his canvassng
and by advertisement every other company in ex-
istence inorer to obtain business for his company;
a course which we do not find to be necessary. The
subject Of Life Insurance, when this Fcon1munity
comes to underestimate, viii commend itself TO every
prudent man in of its numerous forms, it
has done already in Europe, and the larger American
cities. Parties should be allowed fair opportunity
to select their company, any Of which abundanty
able to perform their obligations policy holders

A VISIT TO OLD ORCHARD.

OLD ORCHARD, July II, 1866.
To the Editor Of the Press:
Thinking that brief sketch of Old Or
!chard Beach and vicinity might be of interest
to the readers Of your valuable sheet, submit
the following: srgY ar4 z.s~s.sr.e7r-
OLD ORCHARD BEACH
derived its name from apple trees planted by
the first settlers about the year 1856, as they
were found there at the second attempt to set
tie the town. A vestige of the trees remained
as late as ITO. This is one of the largest,
smoothest and most commodious beaches in
the United States; extending east from the
mouth of Saco river about eight miles, thus
affording facilities for driving, promenading
and bathing that cannot be found elsewhere.
The hotel accommodations are excellent, there
being four hotels of various capacities The
largest is kept by Staples & Sons, who, some
few years since, commenced taking few Wis
itors into their private family, and have, by
fair dealing and close attention to the wants
of the public, built up a large business and
erected the largest house in this State. Their
table is bountifully supplied with every delica-
CIV the market affords, and at arnoderate price.
One of the most desirable situations for pub
lie house at this beach, was purchased last
week by T. r. Lane and ]. 7. Cleayes, of Sa-
co. They contemplate building an hotel, and
are both gentlemen well-known in the hotel
business. s< TsfoI - u

LAzINEss IN BIBLE READMG.--L Lord,
1 discover an arrant laziness in my
soul; for when am to read a
chapter in the Bible, before l begin it
/ look where it endeth not on the
same side. 1 cannot keep my
hands from turning over the leaf, to
measure the length thereof on the
other side; if it swells to many yers-
es, begin to grudge. Surely, my
heart is not rightly affected. Were
| truly hungry after heavenly food, l
would not complain of meat Scourge,
Lord, this laziness out Of my soul.
Make the reading of Thy Word not a
penance, but a pleasure unto me.
Teach me that ms among many heaps
of gold, all being equally pure, that is
the best which is the biggest, SO |
may esteem that chapter in Thy Word
the best which is the longest. - Dr..
Thomas Fuller.

A wife is the grand wielder of the
moral pruning knife. If Johnson's
wife had lived, there would have been
no boarding up of bits of orange peel;
no touching all the posts in walking
along the street; no eating and drink
ing with a disgusting yoracity. L
Oliver Goldsmith had been married
he would never have worn that mem.
orable and ridiculous coat. Whenever
you find man whom you know little
about oddly dressed, or talking ride
ulously, or exhibiting an eccentricity
city OF manner, you may be tolerabl,
sure that he is not married man
For the little corners are rounded off

married men. Wives generally hay,
much more sense than their husbands
especially when the husbands ar,
clever men. The wife's advices ar,
like she ballast that keeps the sshil
steady. They are like the wholesome
though painful, shears, shipping OF
little growths of self-conceit an,
