The NATIONAL LuE INSURANCE CON-
PANY of the United States of America,
was Chartered by Congress, in the Sum-
raer of 1858. Since that time, with a
capital of ($1, 000, O0V larger than any
other life insurance company in Amer
ca, it has been the leading stock com
pany in the country, If not in the world.
Its charges for insurance are not only
about three.fourths those Of Mutual
companies, while it has nearly tw0 dot
lars Cf0ssets f every dollar of ttubi(.
ity. This tact is worthy of special oun-
siderati0n, as there is as much differ
ence in the value of insurance policies
as there j. in tho value of railroad
bonds. Its management is in the hands
OF E. A: ROLLINS, Ex.Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue a. President; JAY
Cooke, Chairman of Finance and Exc
cutive Committee; E. w. PrETE, for
merly of the Mutual Lite Insurance
Company of New York as Actuary, and
J. Nd. BUTLER, as Secretary, with q
Board Of Directors of National reputa
ton. 1t wants an efficient and reliable
agent in every town in the country,
Where it has not one already employed,
and it's commissions for business are
both liberal and continuous. Core
spondence with reference to insurance
Or employment may be addressed to
the branch Office in Philadelphia, where
the business of the company is trans
acted. The Company is worthy the
largest patronage, and an agent should
be employed in this vicinity If there is
not already one here.

Beecller and Ply mouth Church.
From the Y finn

The silver wedding of Henry Ward
Beecber and Plymouth Church was cel-
ebrated on Friday of last week.
One of the features of the occasion was
. history of the church. It sc ms that
Rev. DR.. Lyman Beecher was much op-
posed to have his son settled in Brook
Ign. He wished him to remain at In
dianaDolis, where he was then preaching
for $500 year. The Plymouth Trus-
tees received letter from him, saying:
in indianapolis, Henry may some day
make his mark, but in he vicinity of
ew York he will be entirely lost sight
OF, and eclipsed by hundreds of ADLER
men," However, the Trustees thought
that " Henry" would do, aud called
him. The call was refused for some
time !; but tire constant sickness OF his
family in Indianapolis finally sent Mr..
Beecher east to Plymouth Church and
fame. He ran the gauntlet of = theo
logical examination with difficulty. His
unorthodox definition OF sin provoked
from lady the wratllful remark: "A,
child would give better answer than
that" When the ordeal was at last
triumphantly passed, Mr.. Beecl.er be
gan straightway what he has now fin
ished, and what few men have ever
even begun,-the making of = reputa-
ton without q parallel in its own line.
