THE BLIGHTED AFFECTIONS INSURANCE COMPANY.
Several capitalists, if is rumored, have recently'"taken out letters of incorporation in England for a Blighted Affection* In. suranoe Company, with limited liabilities. The object, our informant states, is to guarantee the affections .of lovers, 'or, in cases of blighting,- to-offer suitable pecuniary compensation.;; Its advantages are manifold. Pecuniary compensation is grateful to a wounded spirit; the law recognises its justice, and continualcases of breach of promise testify to its larity. But then the public exhibition oW heart-strings involved, and the 'pubjictr tion of gushing v .correspondence • jM&the newspapers have their little unplSßitnesses. This company will avoid all that. There will be no publicity. The compensation will be liberal, and the security undoubted. . T .. , r Theformof application'is''said to be somewhat as follows: : ''?.'*'•'-'. The Blighted Affections. Insurance .Qampany, Limited. . ',-'; V I. What is your sex ? . . -.-.'l 11. What js your bona fide age 1 111. How many years have you b.eenat this age? IV. What istheprpaent; object of your affection? V. State if either ;of you have-'.-been blighted before. If so, which, : and why, and generally how about it,.. VI. Say if your family have Buffered much from blight,.: . VII. Say the greatest number of.blightings to be covered by this assurance, VIII. Fill in tho value aeV upon your affections. IX.
