EDlHIS Society, which confines its 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. lis scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate 10 provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and suffi-
Gent TO create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among tie
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period Of p years,
has clearly demonstrated The fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost rs valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required 10 assure 500,

TEE LIFE BONUS of this Company, at

TEE LIFE BONUS Of this Company, at
last valuation, August, 1868, averaged l6 per
cent of the Premiums paid, in some cases
rising to IS, 10, and even rs per cent. Sub
stantial benefits have therefore been conferred
on it's Assurers, and as the Life Liabilities
are valued on the principle of net Premiums,
assuming only 3 per cent. interest-(Me outside
expenses cAargeadle to the LIFE Department
for the General Management Of the Company
being specially limited By the Deed Of Settlement
to 10 per cent. Of the net Life sncOme)-there is
every reason to expect equally good Bonuses
in the future.

EsiiiaaIayan Vultures.

In a volume by DR.. Andrew Leth Adams,
entitled " dRderingS Of Naturalist in IN
ait, occurs the following in regard to the
vulturcs, and other birds of prey, in the
Iiimalayan mountains:
Amid all the grandeur of the Himaleyas,
1t is IL most attractive sight to the naturalist
10 behold the vulturcs and rapacious birds
soaring over the vast rayines and around
the tops OF the mighty mountains. Let him
choose summer evening. with that clear
blue sky almost characteristic of the Hima
iayas, and Just as the sun casts his last rays
on the snow clad mountains when the quite
is only broken by the cry of the engle, the
blent OF the goat, or the shrill pipe of the
black partridge the vutnrcs, kites,
aud Jackdaws may be seen wheeling in vast
circles; some are gliding along apparently
without an effort, others appear suspended
motionless in the vast canopy of heaven ;
while, carcering in his majesty the hammer
gnycr gathers up his great wings and swoops
downward, mayhup to rise again aud iuin
the medley he has just left, or, stretching
forth bis pinons to their fullest extent, he
sails along the mountain-brow 10 the pro
.jorting cliff on which his eyrie stands, safe
for there, who dare ssSaii him?
After bear or other large animal is
killed. the hunter soon finds himself sur
rounded by rapacious birds, where none
were seen before they are observed dushiug
down the glcns, and sailing in circles round
his quarry. Some sweep within few yards
of him. others are soaring at higher eleva-
lions, and even at such vast attitudes that
the huge bearded ynlture appears only as II
apcck IN the blue sky, but gradually it be-
comes more distinct, as its wide ayraions
increase. 1t may gather itself up and close
its wings. or dash, in one fell swoop, hun.

for every neighborhood it reaches to the
perfection of Christian charity and manly
kindness; it places us all along the way OF
mutual moral dangers; it levels us all the
possibility Of immediate wrong: il gives US
Ill a defence in forgiveness and liability: it
caches us all against judgements, and shows
10 all that ofense is common Inheritance.

constant Influence, the gnding spirit Of the
lay and the prompter Of the nightly prayer.
