THE MYSTERIOUS BOURNE.
There is a time we know not when,
A point we know rtot where,
That markka the destiny of men,
To glory or' despair.
There iaa Hoe by us unseen,
That crosses every pathj
The hidden boundary between
God'a patience, and his. wrath. .
To pass that limit is. to die,
To die asif by cteaRb, -It
does not quench the beaming dyes,
Or pale the glow of health.
The conscience may be stilf at ease,
The spirit light and gay,
That which is pleasing still may please,
And care be thrust away.
But on that forehead God hath set
Jndelibly, a mark,
Unseen by man, for man as yet
Is blind and in the dark.
He little dreams of coming woe,
His smil's to pleasure toned,
He does not, cannot, will uot know,
Or feel that he is doomed.
He knows, he feels, that all h well j
And everj'fear is calm,
He lives, he. dies, he wakes in hell,
Not only doomed tut damned.
Where is this mysterious bourne ?
By which our line is crossed,
Beyond which God himself hath sworn,
That be w hoboes is lost.
How long may we go on in sin ?
Where does hope .end, and where
Do the dark hidden bimnds begin Y
The confines of despair.
An answer from the skies is sent,
Ye that from God depart,
'While ,it is called to-day repent,
And barden not your heart.

ASSVUANCE SOCIETY
, OF THE UNITE!) STATES. .
Accumulated Fund $2,000,000- Annual' In
come 1,000,000.
PURELY MUTUAL
ANNUAL CASH DIVIDENDS.
At the request of their numerous Policy-holders,
this Society have determined to declare their divi
dends annually in cash. The first dividend will be
declared Feb 1, 1867. The last dividend, declared
on the quinquennial plan reduced the premiums in
some cases moretliau 50per cent, or doubled the
Policy during the next dividend period. It is be
lieved for the future that no company in this coun
try will be able to present greater advantages in its
dividends to persons' assuring than this Society, as
total expenditure to cash premium received was,
by the last New York Insurance Report, less than
that of any of the older America'n Life Insurance
companies. '
The officers, of this society desire to present to
the public for their consideration five modes of di
viding surplus premiums or profits, some of .which
were never befure granted to Policy-holders by any
Life Company, and present advantages obvious to all:
1st. The dividends may btf applied to the pur
chase of additional assurance for a term of years.
2d. Dividends may be applied to reduce the pre
mium coming due next. At Hie last dividend, upon
a similar plan,'preiuiums were reduced one-half up
on some policies.
3d. The dividend may be applied to provide for
the paymenfof premiums at the latter end of life,
so that the assured may be guaranteed against fur
ther payments on attaining a certain age, each suc
cessive dividend gradually reducing the time during
which the premiums must continue to be paid, so
tfcpilat last, with the same success as heretofore, a
paid up policy will be .secured by quite a moderate
number of premiums. To illustrate A man assur
ing at 25 years old would, on the bnsis of our last
dividend, be secured by this application of dividend
againsl any payment after 45 and probably at an
earlier age aud thereafter receive an annual divi
dend in cash.
4th. Dividends may be applied to the purcluise of
a certain addition to the 'policy, payable with it.
5th. Dividends may be applied to the reduction of
all future premiums during the continuance of the
policy.
Hereafter dividends on the firft annual premium
may be used as cash in the payment of thesecond
annual premium, and so on thereafter, the dividend
on each premium may be applied to the payment of
the next surct'edirlg premium. Policy-holders in
most other companies mu.-t wait four or five years
before any advantage can be derived from dividends.
