Gated gentleman, and the sole cause Of
his wretched life, and still more wretch

sad warning to the young men of our
city who spend their time amid the
delusive pleasures of the wine cup.
Careless of danger, the downward path
is an easy one, and soon home, friends
kindred, and reputation, all will be sac
riiced for this foul offspring of the
devil, which we call rum; the happiness
of lifetime battered for the insane
pleasure of an hour. Men strive to
drown remorse, to bury grief, and stife
conscience in the wine cup, but the
sombre spirits sheer at them from the
beaker's brim. Drink drink drink !
and the pulses of the heart leap right
merrily to the joyous melody, while re-
morse lies torpid within, and grief lies
many fathom deep. Not dead but
only sleeping; sleeping, but to awake
with vigor, and torturing, questioning,
a hundred times greater than before.
Nothing but miracle would convince
some of our young men of the criminal
folly of their course, and the days of
miracles are past

We take great pleasure in calling at
tention to an ady ertisement in another
column on the subject of Life Insur
ance, which cannot be too highly APP
preciated in this community. The Ma
tional Life Insurance Company of the
United States of America, chartered
by Congress in 1868, has INST closed its
first year of operations, and issued
more policies than any other similar
company in the world ever did in a
corresponding period. JAY COOKE & Co
of world wide reputation rs bankers,
and thorough business of men, are the
general agents, and employ none but
the highest type of ability and talent
in all their branches. The elements of
success which characterize their bank
ing operations, are brought into requi-
sition in the Life Insurance department
and added to the low rates of premium
on the stock plan, (which furnish
es more insurance at a given cost
than any other have secured the con-
fidence of the public to II degree I'M
paralleled in the history of Life Insur-
ance, aud contributed largely to the
general success of the company. Mr.,
J. U. Oryis, formerly President of the
Ninth National Bank of New York city,

and is well adapted to the position

will protect them in case he is removed

This company has some special
claims to the patronage of the country,
some of which are among the fol
lowing l. Its charter is national and
perpetual. q 1t has paid up capital
of one million dollars, invested in gov
eminent and other like securities,
which is much safer than the notes of
policy holders, as in the case of mutual
companies. 3. 1t gives about three
thousand dollars more insurance in
every ten thousand insured, for the
same amount of premium, than is offer
ed by the mixed note and cash mutn-
al companies A. 1t has by far the
largest assets in proportion to its liabil-
tiles of any Life Insurance corporation
in the world. 5. BY the "return pre-
MUM plan" the amount of premium
paid each year is added to the sum in

mauent income during life of one tenth

a certain number of annual premiums.

are as follows: spikeman shipped on the

refused to allow it, but told him he would

did at Turks island, where he refused to let
Spikeman 90 ashore. When the expedition
