The ORIGIN OF HYMEN.-Do our rea-
ders know the origin of Hymen? If not,
here it is: "Hymen was young man of
Athens, obscurely born, but extremely
handsome Falling in love with a lady of
rank, he disguised himself in female attire,
the better to carry on his amour; as he
was on the sea shore celebrating the Eleu-
sinian rites. with his mistress and female
companion, gang Of pirates came upon
them by surprise, and carried them off to
distant Island, where the pirates got
drunk for joy and fell asleep. Hymen
then armed the virgins and dispatched the
sleeping pirates, when, leaving the two
women upon the Island, he sped to Athens,
told his adventure, and demanded his be-
loved in marriage as her ransom, His
request was granted, and so fortunate was
the marriage that the name Hymen was
ever invoked on all future nuptials, and in
progress of time the Greeks enrolled him
among their gods.
Middletown transcript., 1868-04-18

During 1867, it insured over 10, ,2S4 per-
sons for some S32, 200, 900. These fig
ures, comparing the official reports Of
January, 1868, place it, in these respects,
at the head of all the New York compa-
MES but one. The increase during the
first two months Of the present year has
been still more remarkable. During that
time it has issued 1000 policies for some
$11 600, 600, doing an amount of busi-
ness and showing rate of increase which
bid fair to place it at the head of all the
life insurance companies in the United
States. The assets of the Company at
the beginning of March were nearly $3,-
500, 900, having increased some $400,-
600 since the lst of January, exclusive
of $115, 900 paid for losses.
This unexampled success of the Knick-
erbocker Life Insurance Company is owing
not less nor more to good management
than to enlightened liberality of the terms
on which it issues its policies
tits mutual company. 1t offers to
those insuring, the option of adopting the
"cash' or the "note" system. By the
former system, the insured pays large pre-
miums, of which he is entitled to have hall
refunded as surplus, in addition to the
principal, when his policy is paid. By
the latter, half of the annual premium is
paid by note, the amount of which, with
interest, is deducted upon the final settle
ment of the policy. The former has the
advantage that the insured gets the full
amount of his policy, and little more
the latter, that it only requires half the
outlay of money in the first place that the
other does The return for the invest
ment is twice as much (lacking few dol
lars only) in case of policy running q
short time, and cannot be less in proper.
ton to the amount actually paid out in
case of one that runs long.
The Knickerbocker imposes no restric
tions upon residence or travel in any o
the civilized parts of the United States o
Europe, and makes no extra charge Of
conductors and other men employed upol
railroads, or upon officers of irst-clas
sailing vessels and steamers plying betwee
ports of the United States and of Europe
1t likewise insures officers of the Army an
Navy at precisely the same rates as civil
ians, providing only that, if the party in
sured is killed in battle, ten per cent {
the amount ofthe policy shall be deducted
The advantages Of this plan over the oil
one of extra rates, and its admirable fair
ness for the insured officer, are obvious
The Company secures full indemnity fl
all the risk it actually runs, while the off
Ger does not have to pay for the additions
hazard unless he actually incurs it.
( The Knickerbocker makes large div
dends to its stockholders, who are the il
sured, all of which have been obtaine
3 from actual profits and never by discoun
ing the future, as is too often done b
f companies of all kinds. EB- See adve
