carried out. We, the undersigned, have been
led to believe that there are parties endeavor-

not able to supply our patrons with ice for

Now. in reply we can only ray, should any
one have doubt in regard to our supply
they would much oLlge us by calling upon
either Of the undersigned, and we think it
will not take Us long to satisfy them that We

ANNUAL CASH DIVIDENDS.

ANNUAL CASH DIVIDENDS.
At the request of their numerous Policy holders,
this Society have determ ned to declare their dVl-
dends annually in cash. The first dividend will be
declared Feb |, 1867. The last dividend declared
on the quinquennial plan reduced the premiums in
some cases more shan 50per cent, or doubled the
Policy during the next dividend period. 1t is he
lieVed for the future that no company IN this coun-
try will be able to present greater advantages in its
dividends to persons assuring than this Society, as
total expenditure to cash premium received was,
by the last New York Insurance Report, less than
that of any of the older American Life Insurance
companies.
The officers of this society desire to present to
the public for their consideration five modes of di-
viding surplus premiums or profits, some of which
were never before granted to Policyholders by any
Life Company and present advantages obvious to ALL
LIST. The dividends may be applied to the pur-
chase of additional assurance for term of years.
I'd. Dividends muy be applied to reduce the pre-
MUM coming due next. AT the last dividend, upon
"a similar plan, premiums were reduced one-half up
some policies.
Cd. The dividend may be applied to provide for
the payment OF premiums at the latter end Of life,
that the assured may be guaranteed against fur
cessiye dividend gradually reducing the time during
which the premiums must continue to be paid SO
tst at last. with the same success as heret ofore,
paid up policy will be secured by quite moderate
number of premiums To illustrate--A man assur-
ing at % years old would, the basis of our last
dividend be secured by this application of dividend
against any pa ment after 45-and probably at an
earlier age-and thereafter receive annual dlvl.
dend in cash.
4th. Dividends may be applied to the purchase of
certain addition to the policy, payable with it.
5th. Dividends may be applied to the reduction of
all future premiums during the continuance Of the
policy.
Hereafter dividends on the first annual premium
may be used as cash in the payment of thesecond
annual preniuin, and thereafter, the dividend
each premium may be applied to the payment OF
he POilcV-h0lHprS
most other Companies must wait four or five years
before any advantage be derived from dividends.

THE MYSTERIOUS BOURNE.

There is time we know not when,
A point we know not where,
That marks the destiny Of men,
To glory or despair.
There is line by us unseen,
That crosses every path,
The hidden boundary between
Gods patience, and his, wrath
To pass that limit is-to die,
To die as if by stealth,
1t does not quench the beaming eyes, .
Or pale the glow of health.
The conscience may be stiff at ease,
The spirit light and gay,
That which is pleasing still may please,
And care be thrust away.
But on that forehead God hath set
indelibly, mark,
Unseen by man, for man as yet
Is blind and in the dark:
He little dreams Of coming woe,
His souls to pleasure toned,
He does not, cannot, will not know,
Or feel that he is doomed.
He knows, he feels, that all is well
And every fear is calm,
He lives, he dies he wakes in he'll,
Not only doomed but damned.
Where is this mysterious bourne
By which our line is crossed,
Beyond which God himself hath sworn,
That be who goes is lost:
How long may we go on in sin?
Where does hope end, and where
Do the dark hidden bounds begin
The confines of despair.
An answer from the skies is sent,
We that from God depart,
While it is called to-day repent,
And harden not your heart.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1866-08-28
