We eat on the beach-I believe it was Bye E'en now I near how the wild surf sings And we wer? alone-there waa nobody by. And I said a great many preposterous things.

AN INDIAN ROMANCE.-The Key West Guardian, of the 9th, supplements the tales of the romanoers with the following narration : Landed at Garry's Wharf, Wednesday morning, a son of the famous Semin?lo chief "Tiger Tail," in a frail oanoe, loaded with pumpkins, fresh from the Miami everglades, 150 miles distant from Key West. The voyager paddled the entire way over a rongh sea, single? handed and alone, and dumped his pumpkins at the precise point aimed at, without shaking a feather in his cap as the soion of an illustrious father, The oanoe is twenty by three feet. . . . A prison chaplain wes lamenting the want of success attending his ministry. Of one man who had been condemned to death, he said he had great hopes, the priBonor having been moBt assiduous in the study of a Bible he had given him. The chaplain, after great exer? tion, obtained a commutation of the sentence. "I called to inform him of my success. His gratitude know no bonads; he said I was his preserver, hie deliverer. 'And here,' he added, as he grasped my hand in parting, 'here is your Bible. I may as well return it to you, for I hopo I shall never want it again.' " Au Irishman being annoyed by a howling dog in the night, jumped ont of bed to dislodge the offender. It was in the month of January, and the snow was three feet deep. Ho not returning, his wife went out to see what was the matter. There she found her husband in his night snit, his teeth chattering, and his Whole body almost paralyzed with cold, holding the struggling dog by the tail. "HonTy mother, Pat," said she, "what wnd ye be after doing?" "Hush," said he, "don't ye see? I'm trying to fraze the d-d baste." Mrs. Partington entered the office of the Probate Judge, (called "Civilian,") and inquired in her blandest tone: "Are you the oivil villain?" "Do you wish to insult me, madam?" said the judge. "Yes," replied the amiable lady; "my brother died detested, and left three in? fidel children, and I'm to be their execu? tioner; so I want to insult the civil villain about it." A "personal" in the London Times rans thus: "His life not in danger. In? stead of 'severe illness' read: 'Two rain? bow colored eyes, caused by external un? friendly influences."

We might add much more on thu subject, but, being interested as its Agents, prefer to speak through dis interested parties. Therefore, read and digest the following notices-among many others from both Northern and Southern papers, as to the virtues of tbis Company: Thero is no better company in tho land. A comparison with other corporations of a simi? lar character will convince all of the superior safety in taking risks with tho Brooklyn Life. [Columlms, Ga., Sun, January 27.1869. Tho Brooklyn Life has placed itself in tho vanguard of insurance reform, ana is the first company that has dune iud justice io the insured, Ac. [Insurance Times, New York, January, 1869. This great feature of cash surrender vaines is an important improvement that signalizes tho era of insurance.-Haleigh Sentinel, N. C. This plan-guaranteed surrender values-removes the solo objection existing to making an application for icsnranco. Each policy becomes apiece of negotiable paper, as easily trans? ferred as a Government bond.-Boston, Mass., Fosl, 1869. A polioy in tho Brooklyn Lifo ie worth so much in roady money. This is the only Ufe com? pany that has carried this excellent feature into business. [Dispatch. St. Louis, Mo., January 7,1869. Wo call especial attention to this distinctive and advantageous feature of guaranteed sur? render value, particularly characteristic of the Brooklyn Lifo. And also to the fact that thero are co classes in tho Brooklyn Life; sll faro alike, whether from the North, South, East or West. Also, wo direct the attoution of tho public to the fact that policies can bo obtained in this Company, owing to its careful management and superior advantages, at lower ratOB than in any other company of equal rank and solvency in America.

Vico-Proeidont. JOHN H. BEWLEY, Secretary. GEORGE L. MONTAGUE, Actuary. E. W. LAMBERT, M. D., Medical Examiner. THIS COMPANY ollera tho following IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES to] those about EFFECTING INSURANCE ON THEIR LIVES : 1. Ineuranco at Stock Rates, being from 20 to 30 per cent, less than the ratos charged by I mutual companies. 2. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to the extent of one Annual Premium on his Policy, sud will sharo in tho profits of thu Company to the same extont aa a Block holder owning au equal amount or tho Capital Stock. 3. Every Polioy issued by the Company is uou-forfeitable, and contains a clausa stating ita exact Surroudcr Yaluo. Before Insuring your Life or accepting the Agency of any Company, READ TH V. FOLLOWING I A lengthened experience has demonstrated that tho ratos ot premium ordinarily chargod by life insurance companies aro from twenty-five to thirty per cent, in excess of what aro necessary for a safe and legitimate conduct of the business. In other words, carefully and prudently-managed companies charging "mutual" rates havo been able to return to their policy-holders from twenty-five to thirty per cent, of the amount charged for premiums. When life iusuranoo companies wore first organizod, reliability of tho data upon whioh pre? miums wore constructed had not undergone test of experience. It was thought, therefore, no moro than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event, meet all tho presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the business. As long as the matter was involved in somodoubt.it was better to fix tho rate too high than to incur tho risk of making it too low; because, in tho former case, the error could be easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to tho policy-holders, at certain intervals, such por? tion of the premium charged as was found necossaVy for tho purposes of the business and tho complete security of thu company. Experience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that theso rates aro excessive, what possible excuso can there bo for maintaining them? Availing themselves of this experience, the Directors and Managers of the Universal Life Insurance Company, at its organization,; ndopted a scale of premiums in accordanco there? with, and which has proved to be fair and ad?quate, and all that was necessary to meet the requirements ol tho business. These premiums aro about twentv-tl ve per cent, lowor than those charged by mutual companies. lt also appeared, inasmuch as the rates so established were as near as could possibly bo determined/utr rates, and not in excess of what insurance has proviously cost tho policy? holders in mutual companies, that any profits arising from prudent management justly and properly belonged to the stockholders of the company, for tho risk incurred by them in un? dertaking the business. Experience has shown that there aro sources of profit in tho practice of tho business which theory will not admit of being considered us elements in tho calculation of the premiums. These results form a saving in the mortality of the members of a company owing to tho me? dical selection of good lives, a gaiu in interest ou the investments of the company over that assumed in the calculation of its premiums, tho profits derivable from the lapsing and sur? render of policies by thc members, and from other minor sources. Profits from those souraes, in a company possessed of a capital of #200,000, and doing a fair amount of business, would givo to the stockholders dividends largely iu excess ot what were counted on by thu Directors of tho Universal at the time of itu organization. They have, therefore,determined to divide among the pnlicv-lioldors of tho company a largo part of the profits accruing from tho sources uatuod, all of which have heretofore boen divided among tho stockholders. Thu plan ndopted tor such division is as follows: Evory person who may hereafter insure with the Universal will, for the purposes of division, ho treated as a stockholder to extent of ono annual premium upon his policy; and iciii share in the profits of the Company to precisely the same extent us a Stockholder omuiug an CauuA amount of the Capital Stock? ily this system of insurauce, original with tho Universal, tho policy-holders secure tho fol? lowing important advantages: 1. Insurance at thu regular "stock" rates, requiring a primary outlay of about twenty,to thirty per cent. IPBU than that charged hy mutual companies, and which is equivalent to a yearly "dividend" paid in advance of that uni' unt on mutual rites. This low cost ot insur? ance is worthy of attontion. Since its organization, this company baa received in premiums irom its policy-holders tho sum or $1,517,000. To effect the same amount of insurance in a mutual company would havo oost them an initial outlay of $2,000,000. By allowing its policy? holders to retain, iu their own possession, this excess of $183,000. the Universal has virtually paid them a ''dividend" of $483,000. and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at tho end of ono or moro j oars. It is impossible to lind nny example of a mutual company furnishing Insur? ance at BO low a cost by returning to policy-holders an equal amount upon similar receipts. 2. Participation In tho legitimate profits of tho company, upon a plan which secures to the policy-holders the same treatment which directors mid stockholders award to themselves. This system of participation, in connection with tho low "stock" rates of premiums, must necessarily secure to the policj-holders every possible advantage to bo derived from prudent and careful management. The low rates of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation, gnaranteo to the policy-holder his insurance al a rate which is not in excessof thc cost in woll managed unit ital companies: while, by the proposed plan of participation in what may bo considered lim legitimate profits of tho business, tho cost will bo still further diminished. * Thus by the combined advantages arising from low stock rato and participation in profits, it is confidently believed tho UN1VEHSAL LIFE INSU SANCE COMPANY offers insurance at its lowest practicable cost. j>e- Those of tho existing policy-holdi rs who desire to participate in profits under tho new plan can do so hy making application lo the head office, er to any agents of tho company. The Company is in a sound financial condition.
