' A 'dhild was playing with some building hjlodfail'emd as the mimic cast In rose before 'Lis eyes in graceful piopoitiohs, a new pleas-'tiro -swelled 'in his heart. Ho felt himsolf 1 1 berireator of a "thing of beauly," and was 'conscious of a new born power. Arch, wall, 'buttress, gateway, drawbridge, lofty tower, and battlement, were all tho work of his 'hands. He was in wonder at his own skill 'in creating from an unseemly pile of blocks, ' structure of sucharawUeiigft.. 'Silently he stood and gnzed upon his castle, 'with something of the prido ol an architect 'who seta after months and years of skillfully 'applied 'ls'btJr, some grand conception in his art embodied in his iro'pBiishable9tU!V&.

At. last she heard the Step of her husband io th passage, and her pulses leaped with fluttering delight. Like a bird upon the wing, she slmost flew down to meet him, Impatient for the kiss that awaited ber1. There are a few days to a man in tho world of business, without their disappointments and perplexities. It is man's business to bear these in a manly spi: it. They fcim but a portion Of life's discipline, and should make then stronger, braver, and more enduring. Unwisely, and we may say. unjustly, too many fail to leave their business caies and troubles in their stores, workshops, or count ing rooms at the day's decline. They wrap ihein in bundles and curry them and shadoir their household. It was so with my yoong husband on this pat ticulnr occasion. The stream of business had taken nn eddying whirl and thrown his vessel backwards instead of owards. fbr a brief space and though it was still in the current, anu linuing ouwuiu vpiiintti u, uio jr and disappointment had fretted hit mind severely. There was no heart in the kiss he gaVO his wile, and because he had let care overshadow love. Ho drew his aim aioulid her, but she was conscious of a diminished ptesture in that embracing arm. "Are you not well." With What tender concern, was this question asked I "Very well." lie might be in body, but not in mind; that was plain, for his voic Was far from being Cheerful. She played and sung her favorite pieces hoping to restore by the charm of music, brightness to his spirit, But she was con scious Ol only partial success, there was Still a gravity in his manner never perceived he fob. At tea time she smiled upnn him so Street!? a6ross the table, and talkfd to him oh such attractive (hemes, that the right ex pression returned to his countenance; and he looked as happy Hi she' c'o'did desiritj From the tea table they returned to their pleasant parlor. And now the time had con e tor offering lier gift, and receiving tho cove-led reward of glad SiirpriSoi followed hysweot kisses and loving woid-i.

Scarcely bad her loving face faded from before his eyes, when tbocght returned with a single hound to an unpleasant event of the day i and the waters of his spirit wefe tfg'ain troubled. He had actually arisen and crossed the floor once or twice, moved by a restless" concein, when his wilo came down with the dressing gown and ilipptfs1. She wos trying! to foico her countenanco into a grave expression, to hold back tho smiles that were continually stiiving to breuk the truant circlos around her lipiS; when a single glance at her husband's face told her that lha spirit driven away by the exercism of her lev, hud re. turned again to her bosom.

Dkau Sin: It may be interesting to you to learn something in regard to the history of Iiifo Insurant. To this topic, there'ore, I shall Confine my remarks in the present communication. Life Insurance may be said to have originated in Groat Britain; for Its prin-6iplei were first reduced to a practical science in Englnnd about 1GQ years ago. The project of a public office for the insuring of lives originated with Ihe Rev. Wm. Anhote, D. D. of Middleton, in Lancashire. It was fntehded for the special, though not exclmlvs' benelit of the widows of Clergymen, and for fie settling of jointuera and annuittea. This dosign was first undertaken io 1699 by what was called lha jlorcer's Company, In tBe following year, the Bishop of Oxford and certain ph'ianthropic noblemen and gentlemen, poreoiving that important adirahtagos inijht ncfiiUe to society from a properly conducted system of insurance on lives, formed a society for thitt purpose, in the beneficial provisions of which orphans as well as widows were entitled to'participafe. tn the year 1709 Queen Anno granted' an act of incorporation to the society under the name of the Arnica-ablo Sjciety for a perpetual assurance office. T k society was established on the mutual principle and is yet in slicc'esslul operation. But having teen formed bafore the true principles of Life Insurance were understood, it was at first rather a society for mutual benevolence than tn insurance company in tho present acceptation of the term, and corresponded fo iriany modern societies for the Relief of the widows and children1 o'f deceased clergymen, of which it may be said ts be the parent. The society now, howevos, conforms Io scientific modern U9age', retninibs one vestige ol its original Character, viz: that ail the meihbms, new and oid, participate equally pm iaia in the pnfiis. The benefit which the Amicable Society conferred on the families of its deceased members were soon acknowledged; and 1720 the London As-suranco Company was cstablish-id.nnd inl762, the KfuiuUo went into operation. In 1709 tho tables of mortality drawn up with great caro and diligence by the Rev. Dr. Price.artd in 1737, tho Carlisle tables by Rev. Dr. Hcys-bam,' appearedin consequence of which the rates of premium were reduced and Life Insurance began Io te practised on more scien-etilific principles. The. EquitabU). Company is still in successful operation and" has becon.e a mammoth. .institution. Its net receipts of premiums in SB years from its commencement amounted to 19,000,000. By the poJverof compound interest and economy ip its management it has been enabled to pay to widows ffnif n'efrs" m'orS than i'2i,OO6,O0O, or $100,000- 000. It was not, howevor. till the heirinninv or tho I resent century, th'u't the principles of . - o e Li o InsUranco and Us be leficial effects become very widely extended.- Atthe,close o'f the yoar 1847, there were 3'iO liio companies chiefly on ihe mutual plan in successful operation in England, and also many in Franco, Belgium and fjermafiy. Life Insurance was introduced into this country before the Revolutionary war by a little band pi Episfc'opaf Clergymen' in the city of Philadelphia. The Protestant Episcopal Association for the benefit of widows and children of Episcopal clergymen in Icnnsy. vania. formed, t ptesatile, on the plan of the Amicable .Fociety in England, Was incorporated in 17G9. Tho Clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church in New York and New Jersey were- at first admitted to an equal participation in its privileges' and benefits. But in 1306 there was a division of the corporation a'nd an equltat'te flistiibutfon of funds between the separate corporate bodies, The parent institution', as well as its offshoots, is still ia aetive operation affording protection and reliance and in many instsrecs entire support to the families for whoife bent fit it was projected, it has accumulated funds to ihe' amount of $100,000. Similar association tor iht exclusive benefit ot the widows and chilJie'ti of deceased Episcopal Clergymen have since sprung up in t considerable dumber of dioceses tft'oogh established upon a basis somewhat dilTereA't from that of the society in Pennsylvania; and1 re strictly conformed to the principles of life Insunnea Thus you perceive that tho first Life Insurance companies in Engiind, and also tho Brit ik this coiiVitry, were established through the efforts and for the special benefi'. of IB eliergy And not oly iave the clergy been among its earliest and constant friends and advocates but the science ol life insuring has bets developed maiily by fearfld divines men eminent for their ptedy and teaeVolence. The celebrated Blais Pascai author of the Provincial Letters, arid one of dhe brightest ornaments Of Chiistiaiiity in France, originated of reduced the system of cbancts to rules, a'nd aefluted the' theory of probabilities by which iosuraate M annuity tables are coi-strtr'6'tci.

This company was followed in the same year by the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company ol Boston, Mass., and in the following year by the Hutu 1 Benefit, Life Insurance Company of New Jersoy. 1 shall probably have occasion more than once in the course of this correspondence to refer to thele companies, not only because they were the earliest farmed in this country on the mutual systrm.bUt because tbey are the representatives of three different modes of Conducting busioeas under that system.. I will only say aijgrosent, in order to give you some idea Of the present condition and usefulness of these three companies, that the Mutual Lile of New York has paid to the heirs or creditors of the insured whose livei have dropped $3,177,756 and has an accumulated turn of $13,233,517. The Mutual Benefit has paid out on policies terminated by the death of the insured $2,154. b53 and in dividends $1,318,357 total $3,173,212 and ban an Accumulated fund of $3 400,582'. The New England Company has paid on claims by death $736,384, and in dividends. $499,030 total $1,235,420, and has an accumulated (und of $1,342 855. ' Thus these three companies alone hate paid out since 1814, nearly eight millions of dollars. And there Is one fact, which deserves to be serious' ly pondered add which iffdeed needs no coni-ment io impress its lesson, that in the long list of 926 deaths of persons who were insured in the Mutual Life of New York not one of the deceased lived ut his expected term, or paid to the company the amodnt which it tils' paid for them. And probably the same remark is equally true in reference to the other two companies, YoUrs, J. M. Little Giant Igitator.-Candidato Douglas as Daguerreotyped by a .Democrat. Cren. li. F. Butler, of Massachusetts, a dis tinguished Democrat, and a prominent member of the Cincinnati' and Baltimore Conventions, in a recent speech before a Democratic meetwg in towell, thus' brought o it the portrait of the Little Giant as be is. Remember, the artist and his subject are Democrats. Mr. B. said: ,. , "Whon the Democracy had carried' the election in 1852 for President, with uncquil-ed unanimity; when all parties had agreed to droj slavery agitation; when between North and South the bonlsol the Union were knit ting firmer and firmer;' when the Democratic! party were in a majority in Congress" from I North and South; when the opposition to the ' succesful administration ol Gee. Pierce was' either silenced or broken in Iragments, and there was no hindrance to the country in her I career ef power and greatness, what was it,' who was it that array td section against Sec'- j tion, fhi.md Into a blaze Abolition agitation; "struck down as il by magic," to use the word of his committee in their late address 'the Democratic party at the North," and armed brother against bis brother's life on the plains of Kansas? The answer is the truth of God and history en my hps Stephen A. Djuglas! Grant the Missouri line was un constitutional as we may all admit. Yet it was a matter of no practical importance, at that point of time, and in course ol litigation 1 bet een party and . party , it would have soon ' been declared bv the Supreme Conrt. and ihh ! agitation in Congress in consequence of its disturbance have been saved to tbt' country. What is the history of this repeal of the Missouri Compromise? Was its repeal the long thought of,earefulfy scanned measure of roost importance, weighed deliberately m the mind of a judicious statesman? Far from i. The ' tru b of its history is this; Alter Mr. Douglas had, from his committee, reported a bill for the organization of the Territories of Kansas' and Nebraska, in the usual form of Territorial bills, arid after, too, he had advocated the1 extonsion ol the Missouri Compromise line to the Pacific, a Whig Senator from Kentucky remarked to him, in substance: Why don't you, Douglas, report a bill lor the repeal of the Missouri line? Sack a meas'nfe woold he supported by .the South, and give you the lead of the Administration." Douglas at once said. "I will do it;" and within forty-itght hours' ihts measure of repeal was intro-d'uied as aa amendment to the Kansas a'nd Nebraska bill, uncalled for by the Southern fjemewacy, but which they were obliged to support, a's H waris;ht in itself, and was advocated by its author as a measure io their favor, which would pea equally all the Ter ritory 6f the cooTitry to the citizen of alt the Slates for emigration with their property. Tht measure Was supported sabstantiaily by alt Southern members ol' Congress", atidf We claimed by Douglas to be a boon to the South a bTch he bad given them. For this he Was burned! in effigy by the1 Republicans; for th' he quarreled with the 3,000 minbters ot1 the North? for1 this' he Claimed tbt enpport of the South in the Cincinnati Convention ia 1859 )b nis second attempt to be President, by a bid for Southern support.
