And scof at you and me.

Let the nations see how freemea
Can battle for tie right;
Make the throbbing mountains echo
With the thunder OF your tread;
With music sweet OF martial feot
Salute our gallant deal
Rally round th flag, boysl
Rally with a cheer;
For ell you love and cherish most,
Fer all that hold you dear,
Defenu the brave old banner,
Cnsullfed from the earth
Within its folds enshrined it holds
All that this lite is worth.
Then rally round the tag, boys
Rally, rally still
Rally from the valley,
And rally from the mill;
Rally from the ship, boys,
And rally from the plow;
Now OF never is the word

EXAMPLES OF DIVIDENDS.
The dividend added to Policy No. 2O274 for SO, 900,

MUM to pay next year. By surrendering $6tO.S1 in
1866 he would have premium to paw that year, and
surrenderng S625 90 in 1861, he would have pre-
mium to pay that year. Thus there need be no pre-
nium pad the next three years.
