NEW York. Monday, Feb. H. 1870.
This is the season of the year for interminable
articles rents The problem however is asmple one
Given many houses. many people who want TO live
in thom average yearly income of dollars for
each family and willingness &c devote greater or less
proportion Of il to house rent II is evident first that
the increase of houses does not keep with the In
crease OF population, and, second that human being
lives he must live somewhere From this it follows
that the progress Of rents in New-York City is
naturally and powerfully upward fall in rents is an
exception To the natural of things, and can only
be brought about one of the two following ways First
by decrease in the average annual income OF the heads
OF families OF such magnitude as to render it impossible
for them TO pay the former rates. second by an ire
sthe and widespread movement among heads OF falu-
ies in the direction of retrenchment and economy In
our opinion both of these influences are now strongly at
work. which accounts for the disposition of some land
lords to entertain the idea OF making slight reduction
this Spring.

BARBADOS Mutual Life Assurance Society
ESTABLISHED IN 1910.
INCORPORATED BY SPECIAL ACT 1851.

glHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident ia the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, Iabouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that OF
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and suffi-
Client 10 create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per annum upon the amour
assured have been distributed among t. g
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 30 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 inhabitiug
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company,

ALL ABOUT DOCTORS.

~ t~"hA'~ O
Luckily, every family s wears by It's own,
and believes in nothing beyond his dictum.
There is your exclusive doctor who lives
In a fine house rides TO his ceases with
a servant in livery; utterly eschews all
out of-the-way localities ; and never trou-
bles himself to 60 out when his head
aches, or in bad weather. HIS manner of
drawing off his gloves is pompous and
impressive. Nurse, in the corner, sinks
down into her slippers utterly awed by
it. While he warns his hands silently at
the fire, he is impressing all present with
an idea Of his immense p%r0fundIty. This
done, he fixes his eyes on the ceiling, and
counts his patients pulse; then comes
the tongue examination after which he
relapses into another profound coatempla-
ton of the ceiling; during which time
every tick of the clock seems solemn as
fate. Then follows the cabaIIstic writ
ing !; a dead letter to everybody but this
Grand Mogul and the apOtheCary. The
gloves are then drawn on, and bOWing to
the thin air, our elegant doctor delivers
himself again into the care OF his %liVeried
servant.
Thcr there is your old-fashioned doc
tor whose patients evil have him.
though he was wanted gradually to leave
off practice for several years, in favour of
new aspirants. The cut ofhjs coat is q
matter that doesn't affect his practice.
He smiles blandly, as the other doctor
with the livcried servant drives past,
while he trudge8 independently on foot,
and mentally shakes his head at "new
fashions" He is civil without regard to
externals. A baby is a baby to him,
whether it comes into the world with a
nice wardrobe ready for its back, or the
contrary. He is perfectly willing to tell
man who places his stomach In his hands
what he is going to put into 1t, and what
he expects it to do for him. He is inter
csted philanthropicaIIy, as well as scicn-
tiically, in the most minute symptom of
the most ordinary patient, who is encou-
ragged by The sympathetic magnetism of
his voice and eye to "teil him Just how
he feels.' He scribbles no unnecessary
prescriptions for his own benefit, or the
apothecary's and speaks SO checrfully
when he leaves, that the sick man half
doubts, after all, whether anything is the
matter with him.
Then there is your young, new-aedgod
doctor, who gives physic as a little boy
let's off a cracker, rather uncertain wheth-
er it will blow him, or his neighbour, or
both, sky-high.
Then there is your ladies' doctor, "the
handsome mau,'' who lifts his eyes with
well-acted establishment that these dear
beings can endure a pain, or an ache, and
still live who says just what they want
him to say in the way ofprescribing sea

Curious Advertisements.

Some English Journals contain class
of advertisements which are seldom
seen in American papers. They are
called 4" Exchanges" and are inserted
by those who wish to exchange one ar
ticle of any description for another of
equal value. The Qreol, Il lady's news
paper in London, appears sometimes
with two hundred such advertisements
in one issue. To an American reader,
many of them would bc amusing, as,
for instance:
al wish to find IL happy home for Il
very handsome setter; color, liver and
white; he is extremely gentle and good
tempered with children. Wanted in
exchange harp music stand or musi-
cal box playing four tuncs.-JOHN."
