What Next Having hung on to slavery,
following up its villaines, in detail, with
songs Of praise, while there was single
stran Of its wool to swear by, The Demo-
erafs last mistress is the grog shop. Last
week 1t came out as the champion of ''Hel's
Kitchen" The inJured parties came into
Tho Whfg Office to explain the report, and
while one denied the pocket-book larceny,
the other as stoutly assetred the fact-so
they departed, leaving the matter in doubt.
According to The Democrat the Kitchen"
10 famous resort, where the "wives of
neighbors meet to spend All hour in social
chat. Rather strange place for wives to
spend their evenings in, where pocket-books
slip from their owners pockets, during
hilarious excitement. We don't profess to
know the status of this "saloon, the
favorite resort where "neighbors' wives
spend their evenings. The sou6riq,tet used
above is not of our selection, but was given
the "saloon" by the friends who most do
congregate there; and friendly nick-names,
we all know, are generally very character
istic. We wave our knowledge Of the in
stitution, however, in Difference to The Dem
crafs thorough acquaintance with the
place. None know so well where pleas
ant evening hour can be spent as those
who enjoy it. The Democrat, on matters
pertaining to the Kitchen" seems to
"speak from the book" The editor has
doubtless been attracted thither to watch
over the welfare of his typos, who are in
the habit of taking refreshment that
cheers but doesn't inebriatc, $50 he tells
the public,) and then getting in contact
with hitching posts and similar customers,
in the dark.
What diabolical institution The Demo-
erat, in it's enlarged form, will next take
under its charge, we are at loss to imagine,
unless it be the brothel. Democracy, the
grog-shop, and the brothel, would make a
very fair triune deity for the high priest Of
Copperheadism in Cecil.

spected as a woman of diligence, capa-
city, and ~uprightness. To her son, re-
colIing as she did from his father, she was
a most affectionate mother. She offered,
indeed, to Danish him from her sight, if,
on that condition, she could regain her
husband, but her a~fter-conduct attests the
greatness of the proposed sacrifice. She
loved this son through life, whether with
him or away from him, and when he was
taken from her by death she transferred
her passion to his child. Nor was her
conJugal affection ever wholly extinguish-
ed Twenty years after her separation,
when she returned to France to find her
husband poor, herself comparatively rich,
her chief desire was to express anew her
penltence, to seek forgiveness, and to be
allowed to live with him ahamshare with
him what fortune she possessed. But
this consolation was denied to her; cir
Cumstances had rendered it impossible,
and she never recovered that affection
which she had forfeited by the offences
of her youth.

BIHlS Society, which confines it's bust

of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS

field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums.

found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and suffi-

which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per annum upon the amour
assured have been distributed among t! e
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 80 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 are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required to assure 500,
for the whole term, upon a single life -
, 1869-07-09

Assurances of every description on sim
gle lives are granted by the Society for
any sum from 1OODollarst to 10000 Dollars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, Half
yearly, or Yearly, at the option of the
Assured.
Assurers 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 sun 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

this important exception the Vice-Chan-
cellor also reorganization what ground
it is not very clear. It was urged, more
over, that even if the consent Of the hus-
band was indispensable, it was not neces-
sariIy a consent in writing, and that mere
acquiescence would be sufficient This
position also was accepted by the Vice
Chancellor on the authority of the avocats.
Had, then, M. PROBE acquiesced in this
provision for the grandchild 2 The coun-
sci for the infant and the trustees pointed
10 the fact that from the day of the sepa-
ration to the day of the wife's death, a
period Of more than 80 years, M. Pronje
had never attempted 10 interfere with her
in her disposal Of her money and the
Vice-ChancelIor seems to have thought
this conduct clearly amounted to acquies-
cence according to French no less than
to English law. We confess, however,
this seems to US somewhat doubtful. True,
the husband by his non-interference must
be taken to have consented to every act
done by his wife before her death; but
this settlement on the grandchild rested
in intention only, and never was accom-
plished. The mere remittance OF the
money to England and the preparation Of
o settlement constituted no trust; at the
death of Madame ProDi6 the settlement
was unexecuted; and, even supposing that
she had power to make such a settlement,
and intended to make it, her %grandchild
would have had no right to insist upon
her intentions being carried out by her
representatives.
The story is a very sad one, exhibiting
how contagious is profigacy when it once
enters a Hometown easily it spreads from
wife to husband, from one generation TO
another. But in this case the picture Of
vice is in some measure redeemed by the
subsequent conduct of Madame Pronj6.
Tried, indeed, by the most obvious stand
ards, she appears a mere reprobate. In
feithful to her husband almost from the
beginning, she fled from her home with
her paramour ; was forgiven and taken
back, but only to offend again, and this
time to be forgiven no more cast out
upon the world, she exchanged her first
paramour for another, and with him car
ried on an adulterous connexion lasting
uninterruptedIy for eleven years. She
was, however, painfully conscious of her
misdoings, to the last as we'll as at the
first, in prosperity no less than in adver-
sity; though fallen, she made the best of
her estate ; a gross offender against So
cietv, she never wholly abandoned her
self-respect; and she, who had so out
ragged the domestic ties, exhibited an ex-
traordinary natural affection, proof against
time, against absence, against the memory
of her own ~misbehaviour, against the un-
forgiving conduct of others. 1t is impos-
