Why has ! 1 c r .adied the 5,000 after coming so near •{"and why has the number actually de ‘pi i ‘propose to answer that question ‘ I l uiso to offer an effectual remedy against liminislmd premiums, and to give a simple 1 |]f ,, „{ all the difficulties in keeping it up t, the maximum number, S,(KM), I believe in the Company —am a member ,f jt but in no sense inrerested as an officer {, its management. But I have had oppor t inities for knowing that it is economically i „l faithfully managed, and beyond all ques tjl)n it deserves confidence and support. There is a vast deal of clerical labor neees- M ,. v to work it, requiring the incessant labor of two faithful and capable clerks—the sy.s of book-keeping is peculiar, and the amount of correspondence very’ heavy. Now to the point. . . The proposition is undeniable that the Company exists solely on confidence, it liav jn„ |,o fund on which to draw to pay a policy 0 f any given size. Everything depending mi mere confidence is liable to fluctuations— instance, all banking on paper issues. Men p, t frightened and are killed by their own M'src ami the feeling is contagious.— Kvervbody has heard of the conduct of the f,.U,i\v who went to draw on a bank during a jianic. Said he, “If you can pay my money ] don't want it, if you can’t pay it I do want it.” Let a man believe that lie will be sure of drawing (or his family) at death a fixed amount, say §.5,000, in the first class, and no olio would ever withdraw except from abso lute poverty, and in all such cases they could fall into a lower class where the expense would be suited to their cireumstaiices. ])rpend on it, people who withdraw from in ability to pay are very few—the greater num ber withdraw because they see no absolute guarantee of a fixed sum to their families at death. If they could see any guarantee of $',,000 at their death they would aet like madmen to refuse to pay 31 <X) a year in monthly instalments to secure that amount at death. No man over 35 years can obtain that amount of insurance for such a sum in a regular company. The fear is that after paying for years, when in turn they must die, the sum may be very small by a with drawal of members induced by this very fear. You must keep up the membership, and so surely fix the amount of policy payable to one’s family at his death, that so soon as a member departs there will be a dozen ap plications to till his place oil the roll. (lan this be done? Yes, and easily done, as 1 will proceed to show. Abolish all initiation fee from this very date—it is unnecessary unless it should be so large as to create a reserve fund sufficient to makeup deficiency from a failure of members to pay (heir mortuary dues, An assessment of 31.00 per member extra would pay the entire expenses of working the con e. rn, for it would raise &5000, and that sum would lie amply sufficient to defray all office expenses and the printing. Now let the di rectors have the power of assessing all living and remaining members of the company .sufficient extra amount to bring every man’s policy at his death to SSOOO, and the work would be accomplished. You would hear of no more withdrawals, and would have plenty ol fresh applications for membership. There would be something for confidence to rest on, and that is the vital point in such an association. It is nothing to the purpose to say that the company will certainly pay sl.o(i for every member in the company at the time of death. 1 he fact is, you pay, andean pay only one dollar, for each one willing to pay, and for aught any man can see they may be unwill ing and withdraw, and a policy that ought tn he 3o,(MH) may be only 34,500, and may all the time vary. But there should be no variation each class should have a limit, and tlmt limit make the amount of policy, wv 35,000, @4,000, @3,000, etc,, etc, I will suppose, now, that the highest figure reached in the first class ($4,(100) should be lacking 3100 by withdrawals—ten cents extra assessed on each member would raise that 3100, and make the policy good for @4,000 Still. A power to make such extra assessments would have prevented the withdrawals ex <’ept in the few cases of absolute poverty. It would be tm abstract conservative power .scarcely ever needing, to be exercised—but tin' mainspring of the system. Add tn that the income from invested fund, and the company would have the means of paying every policy holder a fixed ami invariable amount. Membership would tloek to the association, which is its vital want. No initiation fee Is needed. Mem bership is needed imperatively, and this can be obtained.. A proper discrimination as to age Is emi licntlv proper, perhaps absolutely necessary; and a medical examination is important, for which tilt l applicant should pay. Finally, the law of forfeiture should be rig iOly administered, as no man should be allowed to ease himself of liabilities, and then by a return avail himself of advantages for which he will not pay. Let, these things he considered and the Georgia Masonic Life lu.suranee Company will continue to bless •he land by providing adequately and cer biinh for the fatherless and the widow, It Ims already in two years paid ($250,000) a quarter of a million to families of deceased members. It is doubtful whether all other couiuauies in Georgia have paid out that much in the same time, and certainly the cost to the insured has been immeasurably cheaper than in the regular Insurance Com panies. 1 repeat that lam an Insurance Aceut and believe in the system generally, amt if till men Mere Masons aqd the system pf the Georgia Masonic was perfected' there tyould be I sit a slim business for other eom panies, g Macon, Go., Any list 2d Mysterious and Singular Robbery.

A writer in St. Paul’s says : “The book is a stupendous anachronism. M.

It is now ten months since the revolution was accomplished. My hopes have been deceived : greater abuses, wide spread immorality, and de plorable anarchy prevail—disorders to which it is absolutely necessary to put an end. The Consti tution having proclaimed monarchy, the immediate choice of a King is indispensable. If the Gov ernment does not shortly consider the question, I shall abandon all hopes as to the consolidation of the revolution, and retire to private life.” This letter was read in the Council of Ministers, aud created a profound impression.

Iu spite of all predictions, Cubau insur gents seem to be able to hold their ground. Whis pers of the cession of Cuba to the United States are now louder than ever. Americans have desired to come into possession of that island for the past twenty years. Now the obstacle of slavery having been removed, if a fair purchase can tie effected all parties may be satisfied with the arrangement, which will give another State to the American Union and remove the great perplexity from the arena of Spanish politics.” The News concludes an article as follows: “Considering all the circumstances which make it difficult for Spain to keep hold of their unwill ing colonists, and reflecting that Cuba is now iu insurrection, Spain will be fortunate if thirty mil lions of dollars ever reach Madrid ns the price of Cuba.” Madrid, August 7.--Nearly all the Carlists have dissolved and disappeared.

Clearly, it is Health ; for soundness of body and mind is essential to the enjoyment of all the other good gifra of Providence. How, then, shall those who possess this inesti mable treasure endeavor to preserve it, and liow shall those who have lost it seek to retrieve it ? These questions have been asked in ail ages, bnt never have they been as satisfactorily responded to as at the present day, and the answers which com mon sense, enlightened by science and experience, gives to them in the Nineteenth Century may be briefly stated thus : To protect the system against all influences that tend to generate disease, there is nothing like in vigoratkm. To re-establish the health on a firm basis, when it lias been lost by imprudence or any other cause, the system must be simultaneously strengthened, regulated and purified. These ends cun only be attained through the agency of a preparation which combines the attri butes of a Tonic, a Corrective, a Blood Depurent, and an Aperient. All these essentials are effectually blended in HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS. They con tain nothing drastic, irritating or inflammatory. The juice* and extract* of sanative herbs, rods and harks are their sole medicinal ingredients, and these are rendered Uitiusible by combination with the spirituous essence of rye, the purest of all al coholic stimulants. The weak and feeble, and especially those suf fering from biliousness, indigestiion and nervous ness, absolutely require the rt uovating aid of this powerful tonre and alterative during the heated term, and cannot prudently postpone its use fora ingle day. A word to the wise is sufficient. In reviewing our exchanges, we were gratified to notice that a prominent citizen of Augusta has testified, in the most unmistakable terms, to the efficacy of a valuable preparation manufactured bv onr public-spirited and enterprising townsmen, the Messrs. Solomons. We can speak knowingly or the stomachic and appetizing qualities of this agreeable compound, and advise those who wish, to enjoy a relish for fopd and a perfect digestion to give it a trial. We append the card above referred to without further comment: Augusta, August 3, 1869. J leJtxr*. H. Hyarris & Cos., of this city: I take pleasure in saying that my daughter, aged, eighteen year*, lias been entirely restored to health, after suffering for many months from general de bility and loss of appetite, by the use of two bot tle.-, of Solomon’s Strengthening and Invigorating Bitters, of Savannah, Ga., which I purchased from, you. I take further pleasure in recommending these Bitters to all who are similarly affected. Very respectfully yours,’<ke., [Signed] h. F. Russell. aug9d<%&w2t Mayor of Citj of Augusta, Ga, .58,564—58,594 J#-A NOTICEABLE FACT.—THAT ONE way of appealing to a roan'a ration i» through his eye. In these busy times men are so deeply im mersed in the conduct of magnificent project* that they forget all about tiie condition of their systems, and hence it is that the Proprietors of the PLAN TATION BITTERS, which cures Dyspepsia, puri ties the blood, Improves the tone of the stomach, regulates the bowels, anil, indeed, Invigorates the whole inner man, are so active in advertising. In fact, advertisements are merely sky-rockets sent up to attract attention to a really good article.

Read these Lines and Ponder them Well. — The best tests of the merits of any proprietary ar ticle is to ascertain what is thought of it at home where it is manufactured. Such a test Lipptnau's Pyrafnge can well stand, as to-day it is decidedly the favorite remedy for chills and f-ver, dumb ague and other diseases of a malarious origin, in the city of Savannah, where it is prepared. The principal druggists of the city would as much think of doing without castor oil in tlieir stores as to be wlthout this popular (and deservedly so) remedy. It is a vegetable preparation free from deleterious drugs, and acts like a tonic upou the eutire system, thereby invigorating the system so much so as to enable it to throw off disease. Pyrafuge does uot nauseate or sicken the patient, and can be taken by tiie most delicate persons without fear. It should always be at band, as chills and fever creep upou us so stealthily that we are not aware of its approach until it is upon us. A word to the wise is sufficient. 4 KAYTON’S PlLLS—Cures Sick Headache and all Bilious disorders. K.AVTON’B ml. or' LlKE—„urt*t neadaci e and i.vnh'irl * In ban a mtnntav.
