ADVERTISEMENTS.

" My object is, to call attention to the fact, that a Policy of Life Insurance is the cheapest and safest mode of making a certain provision for one's family."-BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

" One should insure in health, as sickness may suddenly overtake the most robust' and disqualify him for Insurance."

" Life Insurance the best investment .- If long-lived, the insured obtains good interest on the premium paid, in cash dividends, and, in most instances, a very large return for a small outlay. In case of death, there is a great advantage over Savings Banks."

" The average length of human life is only Thirty-three Years. Of 500 persons, only 1 lives 80 years, and of 100 only 6 live 65 years."

The 15th Annual Report, Pamphlets, Blank Forms for Insurance, and information respect- ing Life Insurance, and the special advantages and inducements offered by this Company, fur- nished upon application to

JOHN HOPPER, Agent and Attorney for the Company, (METROPOLITAN BANK BUILDING,) No. 110 BROADWAY, cor. Pine Street, New York City.

A dividend has just been declared, amounting to $335,000 (paid in Cash, not in Scrip), which leaves over $1,000,000 as the available capital of the Company.

ADVERTISEMENTS.

This Company is on the purely Mutual plan, and returns, (in cash, not in scrip,) to all holding policies, the entire surplus over and above what it actually costs the Company to carry on its business, which is conducted in the most economical manner.

It has, besides, a large guaranty capital as ample security against every possible contin- gency, and reserves an amount sufficient to insure all its risks in the best Companies, and to make good all its liabilities.

It has never failed to declare a large dividend at the regularly stated time, and to pay it in cash ; it does not, therefore, increase its liabilities by paying in scrip, retaining the money in its own hands.

The Company presents, in the 15th Annual Report, an abstract of its business during the 15 years of operation, by which it will be observed that the average annual expenses of the Com- pany do not exceed 8 per cent.

BENEFITS TO FAMILIES.

The great and important use of Life Insurance is, to secure the wife and children against poverty and suffering, after the death of the husband and father, though it is practical and useful in a great variety of other cases.

To accomplish this, a very small saving, in most cases, answers the purpose. Five cents a day, commencing at the age of twenty-one, will insure one thousand dollars at death, whether immediate or remote, together with all the profits which may accumulate on the policy ; and six cents a day, at twenty-eight years of age, will accomplish the same object.

Can it be that any father, husband or man, would be unwilling to make a little sacrifice of daily comforts, in most cases of what would be unnecessary expenses, to protect those most near and dear to him from suffering and want after his death ?

The man who omits to insure his house, if it is destroyed by fire, has but little sympathy in his misfortune, and is censured and condemned for his imprudence; and what is the loss of a house without insurance, compared to the loss by a wife and children of a husband and father, without insurance on his life ?

Life Insurance induces habits of economy, encourages and promotes industry, and strength- ens the bonds of social and domestic duties. Those individuals who are once in the practice of making small annual contributions to a life office, for the future benefit of their friends, soon cease to feel it a burden, and cheerfully forego some worthless present gratification, to enable them to improve the future condition of their families. This prudential foresight and considerate care, on the part of heads of families, will erect a durable monument of affection and grati- tude in the memories of their survivors, and exert an influence for economy and provident care in future generations.

Policies issued for the benefit of delidows and Orphans,

And, by the Laws of Massachusetts and New York, protected from the Husband's Creditors.

This Company has 3,200 members, and has paid, since 1844, for the benefit of widows and orphans, over $600,000, and distributed surplus funds to its members, in cash, to upwards of $500,000. Those who are well acquainted with the officers of the Company, and with its affairs, believe it to be one of the most reliable Life Insurance Companies in the Country. There being no profits in Mutual Insurance, the surplus is divided with the assured every five years, and paid in Cash, or an amount added to the policy, in lieu thereof, payable when a loss occurs.

It is well to remember that, in seasons of epidemic disease, the healthiest are equally liable to be seized with the less robust. Cholera, dysentery, epidemic influenza, ship fever, &c., attack those who are most exposed to their influence; and who are they but the strong, confi- dent in their abundance of health, thinking little of danger, and neglecting those precautions which the more feeble never forget ?

The accidents, which daily destroy hundreds by land and water, do not select the weak and sickly, but the victims are those who are in the vigor of life, and move in our midst full of strength, constantly subjecting themselves to the many accidental causes of death.

ADVERTISEMENTS.

The Advantage of Life Insurance.

Elisha C. Wilcox, firm of Phelps, Bliss & Co., died suddenly of inflammation of the bowels, a disease that attacks the most robust. Mr. Wilcox was greatly beloved and respected, and insured for $10,000 only a short time since, thinking it was the best investment he could make.

Captain Herndon, lost in the "Central America " in 1857, took the precaution of insuring his life in this Company for $5,000, which sum has been paid to Mrs. Herndon.

The late Joseph S. Taylor, Street Commissioner of the City of New York, was also insured in the sum of $10,000, which amount was promptly paid to his widow.

Mr. Wilcox, Captain Herndon, and Mr. Taylor, took out their policies less than one year before their death, and their prospects of long life were as good as those of any man.

The late E. N. Jauncey, 24 years old, was insured for $10,000 only one year, premium but $108. In swimming, apparently in perfect health, from some unaccountable cause he was scized with a fit, and sunk to rise no morc. Mr. Jauncey, when he insured, remarked that he had been over-persuaded, he thought, by his friends, fccling confident that he was a long-lived man.

Two clerks, strangers to each other, left their stores in Pearl Street, at night, in the early part of the week, and, before the close thercof, died of dysentery. Both of these young men had lately married, and the only dependence their widows had, proved to be the sum of $6,000, for which their husbands lad insured in this Company.

C. D. W. Liliendahl, late merchant of New York, endorsed for a firm to a large amount. Before the banks would discount the paper, they required the firm to insure the life of Liliendahl. The firm failed, and Liliendahl soon after died, having been insured scarcely two years. If he had lived but a week, the Company would have been saved $15,000, as the premium would not have been renewed. By this insurance, the firm was enabled to pay off its debts and res ime business. Liliendahl's death was attributed to mental depression, consequent upon the failure of the firm for which he had endorsed.

Jacob Lichtenberg, late merchant of New York, insured for $5,000. Shortly after, he was taken suddenly sick, immediately after eating an ice-cream, and died in a few hours.

The payment of the cash distribution of thirty per cent., in 1853 and 1858, was, in effect, insuring a person during the preceding five years for three-and-one-half premiums. Some compa- nies are compelled by their charters to credit their distributions on the policies in the form of a bonus, payable only when a loss takes place, thus creating an immense and unnecessary capital, and depriving the members, in case of non-payment of premium, of all right to the bonus. In this Company, the distributions are a source of pecuniary relief in paying future premiums, and, in times of great financial distress, are sensibly felt. In no event does the bonus (if a member choose so to apply his distribution) become forfeited. The cash distribution in 1858 amounted to $335,000.

For the convenience of those who desire it, premiums will be received quarterly or semi- annually, or one-half of the amount of five premiums will be loaned to life members for a term of years, on security of the policy itself. Interest computed at six per cent. per annum.

This is not insuring on credit, for the Company gets pay from time to time, previously to run- ning the risk-the interest on the note being taken into the account. The notes, or any part of them, will be demandable after five years from the date of the first one, on notice of ninety days, so that the Company may have command of their funds, should the same be necessary; but it is not supposed that such notes will ever need to be paid. There can be hardly a doubt that the principal may remain outstanding as long as the assured wishes.

Five annual life premiums being double the amount of the cash premium required for an in- surance for the term of five years, it follows that the policy is adequate collateral security for a loan to the amount of one-half of the life premium. The Company, by this rule, never insures upon the personal credit of any member, its loans being restricted to those policies only which have a pecuniary value. The Company also aids those members who have paid several life pre- miums in cash, by affording them a credit in times of pecuniary distress, for subsequent premi- ums, to an amount equal to what would be paid them on surrender of the policy.

Thus, a person at the age of thirty, in order to secure $100 to his family at his decease, pays annually, during his life, a premium of $2.27; and one at forty a premium of $3.15.

Insurances effected on lives from 10 up to 80 years of age.

The premium on Life Insurance may be thought high, but losses are as certain to occur as death itself. Unlike Fire Insurance, every house may not be burned, but every man dies.

" Tables of Premiums for losses to be paid when the assured attains any specified age, or sooner, should death occur, will be furnished on application. This is recommended as an excellent method of saving money, to be returned in one large sum.

Security of New York Insurers in the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company.

The New England Mutual Life Insurance Company has deposited with the Comptroller of the State of New York $100,000 for the security of its policy-holders in this State. With a single exception, this is the only American Company having its headquarters out of this State, that has complied with this law. It will be noticed that the insurers in this Company are thus made more secure than they would be were this a New York Corporation ; for it would then be necessary to deposit only the same amount, while the number of insurers in the State would be much larger. The Company cannot withdraw this sumn so long as a single policy is out upon a person residing in New York, thus protecting the holder from all fraud. That this is not the case when the deposit is made with the Treasurer of the State, granting the Charter to the Company, is well shown in the report of the Comptroller of the State of New York for the year 1858.

Extracts from Opinions of the Press :

" The Mormon Bible itself, separate from the peculiar , Record and the New Testament, the Book of Mormon interest which attaches to it, on account of tho important part it has performed, and is now performing in the his- tory of the present century. will be found interesting to most readers, for its terse language, original ideas, and the many moral lessons inculcated by its pages. It is the duty. as it should be the pleasure, of every intelligent American citizen, to be thoroughly acquainted with all the incidents of his time ; and none can fairly claim to be so on the Mormon question without a careful perusal of the so-called Bible and its auxiliary circumstances."- New York Sun.

" This is a literal reprint of the Mormon Bible, as it was first given to the world by the prophet Joseph Smith- The rapid increase of the sect that receives this book as the work of an inspired author, and the import- ance of the events in which the leaders of that faith are prominent actors, has created a demand for the ' Book of Mormon.' The relations which the National Govern- ment has lately sustained to this strangely infatuated peo- ple, naturally excited a curiosity to know definitely the teachings of the founder of the faith. The ' Golden Bible' is here presented in the language in which Joseph Smith presented it to his people. It has, we suspect, since then undergone many changes, as we look in vain for the au- thority of many things now practised by the Saints. The public will hardly believe that not one word can be found in the original which justifies the practice of polygamy. That institution appears to be an after-thought-an inter- polation of the successors of Smith, who probably realized the necessity of adding something that should excite the passions inore than the reason. The success which has crowned the efforts of the Mormon missionaries-for it is not to be denied that they have been successful-is prob- ably more dne to the interpolations which they have engrafted on the original system. The gratification of an unbridled Inst has led thousands across the ocean and the desert to the valley of the Salt Lake, who would never have comprehended the rhapsodies of Joe Smith. As a curiosity, the 'Book of Mormon' will command atten- tion."-Albuny Statesman.

"This is the bona fide Mormon Bible. This singular sect, however, acknowledge the authority of the Jewish

being looked upon as additional, and containing the bis- tory of a tribe driven to America by the confusion of tongues at the Tower of Babel, and also of the "lost tribe" as it is called, of the Israelites. Both the Mormon and the Gentile version of the origin of the book is contained in the preface, and the reader is left to decide between the two. We have looked its pages over some, and do not find anght in its teachings that can be considered immoral, or that could be construed into sanctioning immorality. The Mormons appear to have derived the excuse for their beastly practices from the Jewish Recorl, all of which are pointedly and severely denounced in the Book of Mormon.

" In several places the severest penalties are denounced against licentious practices of all kinds. So it appears that the Mormons are at present suffering for their sins, in accordance with the teachings of their own Bible, as the people of whom the book assumes to be a record, suf- fered and perished of old. They are guilty of the very practices the teachings of the book were intended to pre- vent." -- New York Dispatch.

"This is a reprint of the so-called sacred " Book of Mormon," which, in the hands of Jo. Smith, became the revelation of a new religion, the Koran of the Yankee Mahomet. The work has been a long time out of print. The theory of its origin is, that the volume was originally written by a Rev. Mr. Spaulding, of Ohio, as a pastime. After Spaulding's death, the manuscript was dishonestly procured by Sydney Rigdon, a deposed clergyman of Pennsylvania. Rigdon appeared in Palmyra, in this State; about the time of Smith's pretended unearthing of the mysterious plates, the frand was concocted between them, and Spanlding's romance was published as a trans- lation of the inscriptions on the golden plates. This is the story that has long been current of the origin of this Bible. We do not believe it. There is no internal evi- dence of such a fact; and no other external testimony except a letter of the widow Spanlding, claiming it in be- half of her deceased husband. Such a book was never written for amnseinent, or as a work of imagination. It was intended for deception, and as part of a great sys- tem of imposture. The book has 850 compact pages, and is handsomely executed."-Atlas and Argus, Albany.

A NEW, POPULAR, AND ILLUSTRATED CYCLOPÆDIA.

CHAMBERS'S

ENCYLCLOPÆDIA:

A DICTIONARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE FOR THE PEOPLE,

ON THE BASIS OF THE LATEST EDITION OF THE

GERMAN CONVERSATIONS-LEXICON, Illustrated with Maps and numerous Wood Engravings.

IN accordance with their original project to supply the American public, promptly, conveniently, and cheaply, with all the recent great Dictionaries of Gene- ral Knowledge in the language, each in its proper class or speciality, from the most condensed technieal definer, to the most comprehensive thesaurus of exhaustive treatises-an important plan of which their Iconographic Encyclopædia and New American Cyelopædia are but parts-D. Appleton & Co. have the satisfaction to announce that they have made arrangements to reproduce regularly, and with all its maps and illustrations complete, the new and popular Eneyelopædia of the Messrs. Chambers. which they will reprint, without alteration from the London and Edinburg edition.

In order to meet the wants of every class, including those of the humblest means, and to furnish a Dictionary of Knowledge in a form proeurable even by the daily laborer, D. Appleton and Co. will publish Chambers's Encyclopædia in Weekly Sheets, royal 8vo, price 3 cents each; and in Monthly Parts, price 15 cents each, until the whole is completed ; it being confidently expected that the work will be comprised in about 320 Nos. or 80 Monthly Parts, forming 6 or 7 Volumes- on a much more limited scale than the New American Cyelopædia (Fifteen vol- umes) but of course proportionally cheaper. In faet this will be the cheapest Encyclopædia ever published, and one of the most comprehensive in its kind; it will be expressly a Dietionary, in one Alphabet, as distinguished on the one hand from a eluster of lengthy treatises, and on the other, from a combination of dietion- aries of special branches of knowledge. It will, at the same time, be sufficiently full and fresh in the usual branches of Geography, Biography, Natural History, and the Seienees. Chambers's Eneyelopædia will bear nearly the same relation to the New American Cyelopædia that that contemporaneous work holds to the Eneyclo- pædia Britannica, each having its own claims, and its own publie, and filling its own place in the field of popular information, without interfering with either of its companions. CHAMBERS ENCYCLOPEDIA is the crowning contribution of its Editors to CHEAP LITERATURE-a work designed in a special manner, equally in its con- struction and priec.

FOR THE PEOPLE.

Nos. I. II. III. IV., priee 3 cents each, will be issued on or about May 7th; and Part I., priee 15 eents, now ready.
