Will blow the tempest in the distance back
From thine and ours; for some are sacred, who

Some Facta in Life Assurance.
In 1842 the first life company vu or
ganized in America ; in 1861 there were
silty thousand policies in force, assuring
one hundred and seventy millions of dol
lars, The ten years following 1861—
years characterized by a plethora of paper
money, the rise of rapid and stupendous
fortunes, lavish outlay, and the prevalence
of speculation—were remarkable for the
steady and large increase of business.—
By the end of 1871 there were in force
ever eight hundred thousand policies,
guaranteeing more Ihaff-tta
millions of dollars ! Ln 187 lalon* there
were issued by authorized companies of
New York nearly two hundred and ten
thousand policies. In 1861 the total in
come of the companies was less than offr;
en millions, and their total assets under
thirty millions ; in 1871 the income must
have been one hundred and twenty-five
millions, and tbo assets considerably above
three hundred millions. Nothing more
striking than these figures can be adduced
to show the the favor Ufe assurance has
mst with, the great power it has seebred
to itself, and the trust that has boon placed
in its management. But there is another
■ide to the picture, which is not so flatter
ing.
When a policy is issued tire contemplated
method of its termination is the death of
the holder or the expiration of the term for
which he was assured. Under the heads of
“Jealh" and "expiry" ought to be found,
therefore, all or nearly all the pelicies
terminated in any given year.' How near
ly the facts correspond with the reason
able expectation may be learned from the
annual reports of the New York Insurance
Department. These reports deal merely
with the companies authorized to do busi
ness in this State, but they cover, neverthe
less, a very large proportion of tke business
of tire country. From them it appears that
in 1864, (the first year for which returns
were properly clasoiiied.) of tbe policies
terminated (excluding those "changed"
and "not taken") but fifteen per cent
ceased through "death” and “ expiry,”
and that even this small percentage had
shrank in 1871 to leas than seven ands
half! The decrease in tbe number termi
nated in the natural and proper methods
bos been accompanied by an increase of
those ended in modes which are • re
proach to tbe business. The modes hers
referred to are , ‘urrender,” and "lapse.”
” “ust be understood that in surrender
'he policy is delivered up to the company
‘or a small consideration, and is can
celed ; and that in lapse the company
confiscates to itself ail be it much
or little, which the unfortunate boki

The number of policies which fail of their
proper use would, perhaps, surprise the
general reader more even than the state
ment of percentages. In 1871 the num
ber of policies really terminated in com
panies of New York was 124,275 ; of those
9,003 were by death and expiry ; 145.112
lapaed and were surrendered, of which
88,706 were by lapse alone. When next
the companies issued their circulars and
expatiate upon the blessings bestowed by
life assurance on the widow and the or
phan, let them devote a paragraph or two
to the loss, disappointment, and vexation
which in some way or other, through it,
are inflicted upon thousands who wish to
avail themselves of its benefits and are
excluded. —"Lift Asturanct," in February

The Plymouth Prayer Meeting.
DOCTKtRAI. QUESTIONS DISCUSSED BY MU.
BRECHEK AND HIS FLOCK.
The Plymouth lecture room was all too
small to contain the crowd that thronged
it last eveniDg.aud the glass partition that
separates it from the parlors had to be
raised to afford space for ’he worshippers
flu Mr. Beecher’s church. The pustor
said .
As familiar as the passage is “Cast your
cares on Idm as he carelh for you,” or
that other passage, “Cast your burdeuß on
the Lord,” it is one of the rarest things I
think that is done. I think persons
a great deal more likely to see vi
sions and dream dreams ; a great
deal more likely to mount up into ecstatic
joy in good praying, good hymus, good
conference meetings—a great deal uioie
likely than by the simple one of casting
their cares on God. There is no trouble
in casting other people’s cares ou the Lord,
or our own either. When we have not
got any we can cast our cares that we had
twenty years ago, or can cast all sorts of
imaginary cares, and there are certain
cares that we can cast on the Lord —those
that we do not feel. For example, a per
son is very proud, and does not care what
people say about him, while an
other person is very appjobative and
feels exquisitely anything which may
be said, and the proud man will say,
“My dear, I am surprised that you caanot
cast these anxieties on the Lord ; I never
let them hart me he did not feel them,
they were no cares to him. Suppose an
ox should say to a horse in sumiaer,
“Why should you quiver all over just be
cause a fly lights ou your hide? I haTe a
thousand on me ; I never mind it.” And
it is just so with these thick-skulled peo
ple ; it IS so easy f-r bone to talk to mus
cle. There are many men that never
come to God until they ara forced by
trouble; men try evrything else, and
when all fails then they come to Christ,
It puts me in mind of a man fleeing from
the sheriff; he runs and runs until he is
out of breath, the other officer gaining on
kim all the while, until at last he comes
up with and nabs him. and then he stops
and says parting);, “I yield.” So God
pursues us, and when we are fairly run
down we yield, but not till then.
Brother McKay said there was two
thoughts that he wanted cleared up. Do
you mean to convey the impression that
we can cast our cares on the Lord so as
to eradicate them as cares or burdens ; if
not, what does it mean ? If my friend or
my child is living a wayward life, I can
lay the case before the Lord, lay it before
him, can I roll the burden on him in any
sense so as to go away and feel joyful ;
can I get rid of it as long as the cause
exists ?
Mr. Beecher — Yes.
Mr. McKayTljkip’t think so.
'/ Mr. BeectMr—llbMii because you have
Mot gone far enough.
Mr. Mcl£ay—Perhaps not. The other
is this : That we have been educated too
much into the idea that Christ is in heaven
and not on the earth amongst us.
Mr. Beecher—that has been the burden
of my preaching ever since I can remem
ber, that we tarn God into a magistrate
instead of looking to him as a friend. But
while I agree with you ou this question I
cordially disagree on the other. Accord
ing tib our different natures we can trust
God and throw our cares on him. Some can
do it easier and more fully than others.
There are fifty men in this congregation
that if I were in trouble I could go to
them, and 1 have implicit faith in them
that they would sustain me. If I can do
it with them, imperfect as they are, how
much more can 1 trust my heavenly
father ?
Quiet a Conscience.— The Secretary
of the Treasury received by registered
mail yesterday morning a letter dated
“New York, February 12, 1873," Signed
“A Foreigner," containing a SI,OOO 18C7
coupon bond, with interest from January
1, 1872. and S2O in greenbacks. The let-
ter said : “Inclosed please find United
States (coupon) 5-20 bond of 1867, No.
33.375, for SI,OOO, (value 1.168 50) and
S2O in greenbacks, in payment of income
tax, and interest on same from time it be
came doe. This amount was not withheld
from any motive of defrauding the Gov
ernment, but by unavoidable absence from
the country at the time, and having never
been assessed or called upon lor said tax.
Since the income books are now closed, I
take this method or paying the same.—
Please advise receipt througli the press.”
The hond was sold and the proceeds, to
gether with the S2O, placed to the credit
of the conscience fund.
The Meanest Yet.—Some gentlemen
were talking about meanness, when one
•aid hs knew a man on Lexington avenue,
wit* was the meanest man in New York.
“Hew mean is that?” asked a friend.
“Why, he is so mean that he keeps a
five cent piece, with a string tied to it,
to givo to beggars, and, when their backs
are turned, he jerks it out of their pockets”'
“Why. this mu is so mean, “continmed
the gentleman, “that be gave his children
ten cents a piece the night before the
Fourth of July, but during the night,
when they were aeleep, he went up stairs,
took the moaey oat of their clothes, and
then whipped them in the morning for
loaing it!”
“Doe* hs do anything else ?”
“Yea ; the other day I dinned with him.

Why Should He Not Br “Mad ?"
The Detroit Free Press relates aa incident
which occurred on the return of an excur
sion party from that city. Soon after the
boat left Toledo, the steward was approach
ed by an excited individual, who asked him
if he was the captain. The steward replied
in the negative, at the same tine git ing
his rank. “ Have you the power to put a
man out of the cabin ?’’ inquired the stran
ger. "Well, yes; If he is disorderly, I
have,” replied the stranger. “ Well. sir.
look in here and see them, will you ?" said
the straDger, leading said official round to
the door. The steward looked in upon the
motley group, and replied that he saw
nothing out of the way. “ You don’t, eh ?
Don’t you see a man in there hugging a
woman ?” " Weil, yes,” replied the stew
ard ; “ but what of that ? Hasn't a fellow
a right to embrace his wife?” “That’s
what I want you to run him out for,” re
plied the stranger, daucing around ; “that's
my wife, and I’ve stood it so long that I’ve
got mad !”

Liability of Fxpbkss Companies.—
In the superior court of New York lately,
before Judge Monell, a case was tried, in
which Lewis C. Austin sought to recover
S4OO from the American Merchant’s
Union Express company for laces shipped
by the latter to Pittsburg, hut never de
livered. The company interposed the
clsuse in the receipt limiting its liability
to SSO. unless the value of the goods was
expressed theiein, which had not been
done in this case. Verdict was rendered
in favor of plaintiff, therefore, for Only SSO.
A case of small-pox iu Exeter (N. 11.)
jail affords another puzzle for the doctois.
The prisoner who has this disease there
lias been contincd iu the jail nine weeks ;
no one lias visited him, and lie has been iu
liis cell until a few days prior to his sick
ness, remote from the other prisoners.—
Moreover, there lias been no case of the
disease in the town, and the question is ;
“Where and how did the mau get it?”
The facts would seem to sustain the theory
that the disease travels in the air, and at
tacks those who arc iu a condition to re
ceive it.
The visitors whe’saw the corpse of NT
poleon 111, noticed two wedding-riugs on
his loft hand. One of these was his own,
the other was that of Napoleon I. During
his lifetime his late Majesty used to wear
a third wedding-ring, that of his mother,
“la Heine Hortcnse.” This latter ring
the Empress lias kept as a souvenir.

IT is universally conceded that advertising Is
a necessity to success in business; It is also
conceded, by the shrewdest business men, that
newspapers are the best medium for reaching
ail parties whose trade is desired.
THE MONROE ADVERTISER
reaches more of the people trading with Ma
con thau any other journal published in the
country, it Is, therefore, the beet medium of
communication with the planting interests.
We will be happy at any time to furnish refer
ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere,
who will testify to the fact that they have re
ceived orders for goods from parties who read
their cards m The Advertierr. In fact, many
who have availed themselves of its columns,
candidly say that It* value exceeds that of all
other journals in which they are represented.
The Advertiser has tbe freshness of youth and
the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly
successful.
CHARACTER OF ADVERTISEMENTS.
No advertisements are admitted which are

A MODEL NEWSPAPER.
THE SAVANNAH DAILY NEWS.
The Stvannah Dally Morning News Is ac
knowledged by the press and people to be the
best dully paper south of Louisville and east of
New Orleans. Carrying with It the prestige
aud reliability of age, it has all the vigor and
vitality of youth, and Its enterprise us a gatli
erer of the latest and freshest news lias aston
ished its contemporaries and met the warm ap
probation of the public.
During the year 1873, no oxpense of time, la
bor, and money will he silent to keep the Mohn
ino News ahead of all competitors in Georgia
Journalism, and to deserve the llatturiug enco
miums heaped upon it from all quarters.—
There has, as yet, been no serious attempt
■nude to rival the speeiu) telegrams which the
News inaugurated Borne yeurs ago, and the
consequence is, that the render In search of the
latest Intelligence always looks to the Morn
ino News. The telegraphic arrangements of
the paper are aucb that tile omission* made by
the general press reports arc promptly and re
liably supplied by its special correspondents.
The Mokninu News lias lately been enlarged
to a thirty-six column paper, and this broad
scope of type embmcoa, daily, everything of
interest that transpires in the domain of Liter
ature, Art, Science, Politics, Religion, and Gen
eral Intelligence; giving to the reader more
und better digested mutter than any other pa
per in the State.
It is, perhaps, needless to speak of the pol
ities of the Morning News. For years and
years—indeed, since its establishment—it lias
tioen a representative Southern paper, and from
that time to the present, in all conjunctures,
it lias consistently and persistently maintained
Democratic-States Rights principles, and la
bored, with an ardor und devotion that know
no abatement, to promote and preserve the In
ternet* and honor of the South.
The special features of the Morning News
will bo retained and improved upon during the
ensuing year, and several new attractions will
be added.
Tlie Georgia News Items, with their quaint
and pleasant humor, and the epitome of Flori
da Affairs, will be continued during the year.—
The Local Department will be, us it lias beeu
for the past year, the most complete and relia
ble to be found in any Savannah paper, and
the commercial column* will be full und accu
rate.
The price of the Dally Is *lO per annum ; *5
for six months; $3.50 for three months; *1 for
one month.
