WHAT IS A YEAR ?

What is a year ! It's but wave
On life's dark rolling stream,
Which is so quickly gone that we
Account it but dream.
IT'S but a single earnest tlrob .
of Times old iron heart,
Which tireless is, aud strong as when
1t first with life did start.
What is year ? IT'S but turn
Of Times old brazen wheel,
Or but page upon the book
Which Death must shortly seal.
IT'S but a step upon the road
Which we must travel Ger:
A few more steps and We shall walk
Life's weary rounds no more.

MY WIFE.

/ have a pleasant little wife,
Who nothing, nothing lacks:
She keeps herself and things about
The house as neat as wax.
And everything, with woman's taste,
Seems placed expressly for
The pleasure of a mao who long
Has lived a bachelor.
Her handkercbiefs arc white as milk,
Her skirts as white as snow,
Her slippered feet are small and neat,
And always "On the GO
She floats about as if uptorne
On gum elastic springs,
Or some unseen mysterious power,
With undiscovered wings.
Her glossy hair is deepest brown,
Her eyes are softly dark,
And from their loving depths shoots forth
Full many a cheerful spark;
Her smiles send speeding on their flight
The swiit-wing rosy hours,
And what was once my darksomc way
Is radiant now with fJwers.
My linen has a glossy white,
More pure than ever 81 Ine
On. Parian marble, and what's more,
There's ne'er button gore.
She knits me stockings, makes me Shirts.
And darns up all my rests,
And saves me half of what was once
My bachelor expense.
Now, all you crnsty bachelors,
With life's great battle sore,
Go get wife and settle down,
And play the fool no more.
Don't be too nice-they'r angels all
With loving hearts and true,
The secret is, be kind to them,
And they'll be kind to you.

FUREI4 MUTU AL.
ANIMAL CASH DIXIDENDS.


PURELY MUTUAL.
ANNUAL CASH DIVIDENDS.
AT the request of their numerous Poficy-holders,
this Society have determined to declare their divi-
dends annually in cash. The first dividend will be
declared Feb |, 1867. The last dividend declared
on the qhinquennial plan reduced the premiums in
| some cases more than SO per cent, or doubled the
Policy during the dividend period. 1t is be-
Heved for the future that no company in this coun
try Will be abe to present greater advantages In its
dividends to persons assuring than this Society,
total expenditure to cash premium received was,
by the last New York Insurance Report, less than
that of any of the older American 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 before granted to Policy holders by any
Life Company and present advantages obvious to all:
lst The ,divaends may be applied to the pur-
chase of additional assurance for a term of years.
I'd. Dividends may be applied to reduce the pre-
MUM coming due next. Atthe last dividend, upon
similar plan, premiums reduced One-half up
on some policies,
Sd. The dividend may be applied to provide for
the payment of premiums at the latter end of life,
so that the assured may be guaranteed against fur
Their payments on attaining certain age each sue
cessive dividend gradually reducing the time during
which the premiums must continue to be paid,
that at last, with the heretofore,
paid up policy will be secured by quite a moderate
number OF premiums. 10 lllus rate--A man aSsdr-
ing at % years Old would, the basis of our last
dividend, he secured by this application of dividend
against any payment after 45-and probably at
earlier age-aud thereafter receive annual diy.
dend in cash
4th. Dividends may be applied to the purchase 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 first annual premium
may be used cash in the payment of the second
annual premium, and thereafter, the dividend
| on each premium may be applied to the payment Of
the succeeding premium. Pocy-holders in
most other companies must wait four FIVE years
before any advantage be derived from dividends.
