NOTICE.

Royal Insurance Office, st. Crolx Agency,
5th October 1867.
The figures which represent its enormous
progress are certainly remarkable.
It's Fire Premiums 10 Years since gl5O,OOO.
and this Year likely much above &4JO,OOO:
Its present total Revenue more than ESOO,OOO!
Its accumulated Funds invested nearly
One Million and a half Sterling!
and it's Life Revenues adding to it's Funds from
100000 to EI2O,OOO annually!
A person assured with profits in "the Royal"
between September and December 1854 for
$1,000 would have had added to his policy at
the end of 1864 a Bonus of $500, making his
$1,000 Policy in little more than 10 Years a
policy for Gl,2OO.
Yours, truly
E. MONEFELDT,
Agent.

PldHIS Society, which confines it's bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident in the West indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate TO provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and suffi-
Gent TO create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
p per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 81 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as arc charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required TO assure 500,
for the whole term, upon q single life:-

1. Entirely of Timber

other External Woodwork to any part ofthe Building
5. Ditto ditto ditto
Warranted also that the Doors and Shutters to all
the openings in the Outer Walls are Of solid Iron,
not Wood cased with Iron Observation-Disclosures.
, 1867-12-17

Assurances of every description on sin
gle lives are granted by the Society for
any sum from 100Dollars to 10, 900 Dollars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, Half
yearly, or Yearly, at the option of the
Assured.
Assures wishing to discontinue the
payment of their Premiums, may either
dispose of their Policies to the Society
upon equitable terms, or obtain a free
Policy for a reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members on the
Security Of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof Of such death has been re-
ceived by the Society.
Strict Investigations into the position
of the Society are made quinquennially,
and the surplus then existing is allotted to
the Members, after a sufficient sum has
been set aside for the purposes of the
Reserve Fund. The next investigation
and Division of Profits, will take place at
the 31st December, 1870.
The Society has Agencies in nearly all
of the British West India Islands.

HOME AFFECTION.

THE heart has affections that never
die. Rough rubs of the world never OBJ
literate them. They are the memories
of homc--only home, there is the old
tree under which the ligbt-hearted boy
has swung many Il day; yonder is the
river in which he learned TO swim, there
is the houscin which he knew IA parents
protection-nay, there II the room in
which he romped with brother and sis.
ter, long since laid in the yard in which
he must soon be gathered, overshadow-
ed BY yon old church, whittier with u
Joyous troop like himself, he had often
followed his parents to worship and
heard the good old man who ministered
at the alter. Even the very school
house, associated ia youthful days with
thoughts Of tasks, now comes to bring
pleasant rcmcmhrances Of many occas.
ions that called forth some gonerou~
exhibition OF noble traits Of human ma.
turc. There is where he learned to feel
some Of his first emotions. There, per-
chance, he flrst met the being, who, by.
her love and tenderness in life, has made
IL home for himself happier than that
which his childhood has known. There
are certain feelings of humanity and
those too among the best--that can find
no appropriate place for their exercises
only at ones iiircside.

JUDGE BRADY, of the Common Pleas
of this city, will not blame Us for repro
ducing, without his consent, the follow
ing, which he related few evenings
since:
An Iriahman, who had doubtless been
"bluc moudn for want of a batin',"
and could not resist the temptation to
huvca little exercise, was arraigned for
an assault and battery. He listened
with apparent raptattention to the read
ing of the indictment. When that cere-
mony was ended Mr.. Nadcrvoort, the
clerk, asked him, in accordance to the
form then in use: "DO you demand II
trial on this indictments" Pat, lean
ing forward in seeming utter ignorance
of what had been asked him, said :
"What'S that?" Mr.. Nandervoort, q
little dashed by the manner of the man,
repeated the question and the response
was: "rhe divil trial | want! Ye
needn't give yourself the trouble OF
| thryiu' me We may rs well save the
cXpinse Ofthat and put me down in
nuupn, Contiut am to lave this wild

Oh nc, no; the divil Il thrial want at
all, at ALI" All this was said SO orapidiy
! that M. NaudcrVOort could not inter
pose to stop it; and the prisoner having,
as he supposed, settled the business, at
tempted to leave the court, but was OF
course prevented. Mr.. Nandervoort,
when the mirth had subsidized, changed
the question, and asked; "Are you
guilty or not guilty."
"What's that ~ said he again, lean
ing forward with his hand to his ear, a
If he had not heard the question.
Are you guilty or not guilty ?"
"The answer came once: "IrTdh !hOp
the dirH can fcH til ! hear the iri.

/ HcWas permitted to hear Just the least
taste OF testimony, that cventuated in

TEACH THE WOMEN TO SAVE
There's the secret y saving woman at
the head Of a family is the very best
saving bank yet established-one who
receives deposits daily and hourly with
no costly machinery to manage it, The
idea of saving is pleasant one, and If
the women would imbibc il ut once,
they would cultivate and adhere to it,
and thus, when they were not aware OF
it, would be laying the foundation Of
competent security In a stormy time,
and shelter in rainy day. The woman
who sees to her own house, has large
field to save in. The best way To make
her comprehend il is to keep an account
Of all current expenses. Probably not
one woman in ten has an idea Of how
much are the expenditures of herself
and family. Where from one to two
thousand dollars are expended annually
there is chance to save something If
the effort is only made. Let the house
wife take the idea, act upon it, and she
will save many dollars, perhaps hun
dreds, which before she thought inn
possible.

TALKING AND WRITISG.-To talk
well and to write well are quito distinct
accomplishments, although they are
sometimes united to q high degree in
the same individual, Often however II
is quite otherwise. Poor Goldsmith oc-
ours as a familiar example. The obser-
walton, he let fall In company with his
literary colleagues, We're 70 notoriously
fiat and pointless rs to provoke the re-
mark that he wrote like an angel and
talked like Poll. Other great takers,
famous wits, have written 20 little that
their reputation rests on bon mots and
anecdotes recorded by others. But even
when II great talker is also great wri-
ter, ii is rarely through his own remains
that we appreciate his conversational
abilities. We owe that privilege to the
band Of camp-followers who pick clean
the bones of deceased celebrities. John
sons reputation in this respect owes
more to Boswell than it did to himself.
The unreported talker shares the fate
of the singer ; after his departure from
the scene his fame remains matter of
faith and tradition which people believe
in because their fathers have told them
so, but the proof of which Is forever ST.

his astonishing celebrity o. action. He
was always "surprising" somebody, es-
ciall General Banks. General Lee
never lost his confidence in him for all
hour. and felt the loss to be irreparable
when he fell at Charlottesville.
With all his severity and oXacting re-

was still greatly beloved by them ALL
This was shown pre-eminently by the
fact that the officers did not dare to let
the troops know that he was wounded
II was also shown after his death by the

believe that General jackson was as
popular with his men as was General
Mcclellan with his troops. Especially
did the old "Stonewall Brigade" romem-

death he said. "Che day will come

of complaint, but seemed to be living

Friends passed in and out, and he had n

THE LAUGH OF WoMAN.--Woman
has no natural gift more bewitching
than sweet laugh. It is like tho sound
of flutes on the water. II leaps from her
in clear, sparkling rill; and the heart
that hears ii feels az If bathed In the
cool, cXhilarating spring. Have you
ever pursued an unseen fugitive through
trees, led on by Il fairy laugh--now hero,
now lost, now found? We have; and
we are pursuing that wandering voice
to this day. Sometimes II come to us
in the midst of care or sorrow, or irk-
some business, and then we turn away
and listen, and hear Il ringing In the
room like II silver bell, with power to
scare away the evil spirit of mind.
! How much we owe 10 that sweet laugh I
1t turns prose to poetry; il filings flow
ers of sunshine over the darkness of the
wood in which we are travelling Il
touches with light even our sleep, which
is no more than the image Of death, hut
is consumed with dreams that are the
shadow of immortaliiy.--Prenticc,

RICH MEN.-It were no bad compar-
ison to iikon mere rich men to csmels
and mules, for they often pursue their
devious way over hills and mountains
laden with Indian purple, with gems,
arOmas, and generous wines upon their
backs, attended, to, by long line Of
servants, rs n safe guard on their way.
soon, however, they come 10 their ever-
ing haltng place, and forthwith their
precious burdens are taken from their
backs, and they, now wcaried and strip.
ped of their ldding and their retinue Of
slaves, show nothing but livii marks Of
stripes, So also those who glitter In
gold and purple mimcnt, when the
evening of life come, rushing on them,
have nOught to show hut marks and
wounds Of sin lmpres.ed ed upon them by
the evil Use OF riches.
