CAsu SYsTEM-Olr experience in
the newspaper business has thoroughly
convinced us that the credit system won I
pay-that promises wont keep a newspa-
per in running order. We have. there
fore, adopted the cash system-payment
in advance. Volume One of the REaIs-
TER will close with the issue of Septem-
Der 4th, 1869. when all subscriptions on
which advance payments have not been
made. viii be discontinued We would
be sorry to lose single subscriber fron,
our list because of the adoption of this
rule, but justice to ourself demands it.
If the paper is worth the price asked
S3-it is just as convenient to pay it ut
the commencement as at the close of the
volume if it is not worth the subscrip-
tien price, don't take it-there's no CON-
pulsion in the matter. We hope to retain
all our old subscribers, and to obtain
many new ones for Volume Two. As
our subscription list enlarges, so will the
size and interest of the paper increase.
This is our say for the future.

LIFE INsURANcE.-Anothe instance
of the. benefits derived from life insur-
ance has just transpired. Mr.. Miller,
drayman Of Portland, who died SO sud-
denly on the End instant in that city, was
insured in the New England Life In
surance Company, in the sum of 5000.
Although his policy comes under the
lapse law. he having paid no premium
since january, 1868, yet this noble Com
pany has decided to pay it mp, and the
wife and family of deceased, who are
said to be left very poor. in debt, and
in almost absolute want, will receive the
snug little sum of ~, 700. IF there was
anything wanting to prove the absolute
generosity Of ths New England, its fair
dealing and liberality with those to whom
it issues policies, the above act moro than
fills the bill. Hurrah for the New

This Is an entirely new plan, giving Insurers
the largest return made by any Company In
the same period.
The Company give credit whom desired, Of from
33 to so pcr cent. Of premiums.
An illustration Of tho advantages Of the credit
system practiccd by this Company, Is the case
of II. G. Coo. Of Yonkers. who insured his life In
this Company for 81, 900. In February, 1887, pay
ing the whole premium in cash. &I1s; mt the end
ofthc frst year IL was impossible for him TO raise
Che amount of the premium thnn due, in cash, and
Ire to the Office prepared 10 surrender the
policy. Beihg told that he conTd give his note
for the premium. hc did no. His deafh ocenrred
in less than seven mouths. His family are now
In the enjoyment Of fhc amount insured. Had
he insured in "An cash" G0mpany, they <otld
have been left unprovidcd for.
