The rates for both Fire and Life Insurances are as low as can
with safety be taken. Those for Life Insurance may be paid
either yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly ; one-half the annual pre-
mium may be left unpaid for seven years, or one-third to the end
of life. Thus large sums may be insured at the smallest present
outlay.

fnr the FANCIFUL. No.
THE CATTERPILLAR ANL) TILE SILKWORM.
A catterpillar met his neighbour—
. A useful silkworm—hard at labour ;
When thus a conversation brief,
Transpired upon a mulberry-leaf.
" My service to you, brother worm,
If I'm allowed so free a term ;
You seem to have enough to do,
You're alway's toiling —more fool you ;
knd then allow mankind to bilk
Your honour's serviceable silk."'
" Nay," said the silkworm, " never mind,
'Tie my delight to serve mankind.
Yes sir, I'm proud that I can render
My services to either gender.
For gentlemen and ladles, too,
Resort to me—you know they do.
I'm more than proud, I must confess,
That I'm connected thus with dress ;
And so would you be, Master Grub,
Had you the hanour—there's the rub.
I say again I'm proud to know ,
That thousand patronise me so ;
And while such multitudes admire
What I contribute to attire,
Your humble servant won't be slow
In thus obliging —oh dear, no."
APPLICATION.
I heard, and thus began to muse :
Such are the words that Moses' use.
Moses and Son, whom thousands aid,
Aro like the silkworm in their trade.
'Tis Moses' pride to sell attire,
Which multitudes so much admire.
Ladies and gentlemen each day
Obtain from Moses' choice display,
And Moses, like the silken worm,
While thus the public seek their firm,
Declare they never will be slow
In serving those who aid them so.
