WHAT THEN (!

The following beautiful, yet unpretcnding lines
we find floating in the sea Of newspaper literature
unaccompanied by the name Of the author. The,
suggest a volume Of thought and should be in
scribed upon the tablet Of every hearth
After the Joys of earth,
After its songs and mirth,
After its hours OF sight,
After its dreams so bright
What then ?
Only an empty name,
Only weary frame.
Only n conscious smart,
Only an aching heart.
After this empty name,
After this weary frame,
After this conscious smart,
After this aching heart
What then ?
Only n sad farewell
To world loved too we'll
Only Il silent bed
With the forgotten dead.
After this sad farewell
To world loved too well
After this silent bed

As ! wandered, weak aud weary,
Through the desert dark and drcary,
Through the dry and arid desert of my life's tenn
pcstuOus way,
Still my soul looked, never fearing
For the star whose bright appearing
Should lumc it-turn It's darkness into full and
glorious day
And ] watched its first faint cleaning
On the distant hiIl-nps bcaming,
Till It's radiance filled the valley, and outshone the
rising morn;
Then said my SOUL " am blessed !"
But the words not half expressed
All the bliss, the joy triumphant that of darkest
glct was born.
And its radiance, nc'cr declining,
Der my pathway still is shining,
Lifting me from ont the shadows, cr0wning mt
with wondrous light;
And my litesi filled with beauty,
For each stern and thorny duty
Stands transiigurcd with fair blossoms which nc
cloud nor storm can blight.

He ruleth first, as q man should,
His own good family.
he ruleth we'll both wife and child.
And wisely ruleth he
Who knows the thrifty farmers home
With this will well agree.
And when he sitteth by the tirc
He hath the chair Of state
No better is he placed trow,
Whom mon call king and great.
Aud when no liitcth up his voice,
The children all attend
And happy is the eldest child,
Who is his fathers friend.
The farmer is a happy man,
A king at home is he
Besides his house he rulcth well
A numerous family.
He ruleth over or and kline,
And horses twain or more
And all the feathered tribe that wait
Around the great barn door.
And pleasant TO his heart il is
When they his footsteps hear.
How one and all, with loud acclaim,
Rejoice their lord is near
And pleasant to his heart il is
To satisfy their wants;
OF his abundance what they need,
To them ho trooly grants.
Right royalty his bounty flows
He giveth goodly store,
Nor cares he il ungathcrcd lie
Some grains about the door,
For" muscth he, % the birds will come
That helped TO grow the grain

The birds are coming for their meal
They come, wis, from God,
He scndcth them to sing for us,
Aud it were shame indeed,

Should lack for daily feed"
The farmer walks about his fields,
And sees them growing green

How the buds begin To swell,
And every tree, it seems to him,

Now take the kinO to yondcr dell
To taste the pleasant grass
And rs she trips 50 blthcly ON,

Has grown So tall, and in II year
Will be quite womanly.
And then he thinks how fair "A maiI,
Some twenty years ago,
Her mother WAS: You're not like nER,
However fair YOU grow"
And then he walkcth to the house
For he will speak his mnd

But tender wife and kind.
She welcomes him with greeting fair.
And saith, How goes the day :"
And he replies in cheerful wisc

Well pleased, her head she shakr.,

SUCCESSFUL INSURANCE COMPANY. -
There ,'Streaks of Incll'' in insurance COM
panteS us well Is anything el>r. AZ i...et ~
appears like luck to an outsider, though if
we come right down tn the facts Of the case,
luck and good fortune in amy business are
generally attributable to the ability, the per
severance, the integrity and common sense of
Its managers, Comparatively few persons
achieve the success they covet, but every
body sees and appreciates it in others. Eve
ry one likes to be connected with lucky man
or lucky company. If man is obliged to
walk himself, he likes TO get up sometimes
with these who are able to ride If one has
any business to do, he wants to do it with Al
successful concern. The fact makes it harder
for new enterprise to get established,
but awards to it more credit after it has
overcome the difficulties and reached sure
foundation.
An instance of rapid rise and marked sue
cess is shown in the present condition of the
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance com
pany of this city, whose twelfth annual report
is published in our advertising columns this
morning. Organized by some OF our leading
citizens in 1851, the company has been stead
lily growing each year since in everything that
would conduce to its prosperity. The guar
antee capital is 500, 900, all paid up, and so
ita and surplus on the first of August
amounted to $GOi 1898, an increase OF $l20,.
S03 over the assets of August first in 1862.
The total receipts Of the last year were
$245,53 an increase of nearly $50, 900 over
the year preceding. This is a rare growth
and success in an Insurance. company, and
argues Il great hold the public confidence,
which is the fact. As a Springfield institu-
ton we have a right to feel proud Of it. Its
directors are among our own citizens, and
among its members are many of the best
business men in the country. The business
of the company is managed with great integ-
rity and liberaity, and there are agencies in
all the large cities and town Of the northern
and western states. Its reputation for prompt
ness and fairness in settling losses is unsur-
passed, and popular as the company now is,
it seems destined to be more so with those
who wish to insure their lives, that, in case of
death, they may leave something to those de-
pendent ON them. The annual statement
alone is enough to show that the company is
taking rank among the first in the country.
We are glad of its success. 1t not only com
mands it, but deserves it.-Sp1tagfeid Re-
publican.
The above named company have hadforsome
years past successful agency in this city at
No. 257 Main street, (Clark's Block The
agent, Mr.. w. S. Goodwin, devotes his whole
time to the interests of this company, and has
large number of policies among our best cit
liens and business men. We recommend
those wanting life insurance to give him a
call.

quartermaster's departments were admirably
managed. Capt Morris, the chief quarter
master, reported only two wagons lost out of
over five hundred. In the whole campaign but
one casualty occurred, a private was killed in
skirmish of Shackeford's cavalry with the
rebel pickets, near Tagswell. OF sickness

their wanderings in the desert. The prophet
Zachariah proclaimed that whoever of the

the Egyptians, who needed no ram, should be

wave offering is made, On account of the

THE New ORGAN AND THE Music HALL.
The musical public is anticipating with
great pleasure the compile ton Of the majestic
organ now being erected in Music Hall 1t is
nearly seven years since the project was en-
tertqined, and a great portion OF that time has
been required to accomplish the work. The
builders, Messrs. Walcker & Son, having al
ready constructed the largest organ in all the
world, that in the cathedral OF Um, no doubt
Is felt as to the success of this instrument.
The mechanism is most ingenious, thorough,
and workmanlike. The same patience and
fidelity which planned and executed this com
plicated work will attend the arranging and
harnonizing Its mighty forces. At present
the chief interest to the visitor is in the case.
But let us observe at the outset that the word
tease" seems singularly inappropriate and
belitilirg; the word suggests piece OF furni-
ture, sideboard or the like, more or less or
namented; while the thing is an edifice in it.

In ITS solidity, yet as graceful in its outlines
and as rich in all Its details poets dream.
Huge caryaTdes support the structure, fig
ureS full OF strength, and carved with wonder
full skill; above rise the enormous pipes,
marshalled in glittering rows, or grouped in
to monStrous columns; statues crown the
pinnacles, Singing or playing upon instru-
ments, or listening; angels eXquisitely carved
in alto qeliero surround the central towers;
and below, over the arch above the keyboards,
is the head of Sebastian Bach, the great mas
ter Of the instrument. Everything is sump-
tuous; no bare spots, no plan surfaces sym
bolical Tyres, flutes, harps, wreaths, and
flowers cover every panel; sweet faces of an
gels, and stonyeyed fates, look down from
arches and pilasters. Yet there is no con-
fusion, nothing is overlaid. The whole vast
front has such a symmetry, a unity, and
splendor of design, that it would seem to have
been created by magic, to have risen in its
beauty at the sound of the wonderful harmo.

1t is difficult, while sitting before this mag
nifcent work, to imagine ourselves in puritan
Boston. But it is really here; and its APP
preaching opening has led us to think of few
things which may be interesting to the must
cal world. In the first place, it is understood
that each of the chief organiss in the city will
have an opportunity to exhibit his powers, and
unless report is at fault, some of them are now
devotng themselves diligently to practice.
Bach will have his interpreters, and so will
Handel; while the modern school will also be
