Up IN THE BARN.

old Farmer Joe steps through b, the doors
Sswide 10 him as gates Of IhebeS;
Al tbcn.,htfui walks about the nOors
Nbsreon are piled his wiuter stores
Ard counts the profit Of his globes.
The tons of timothy up there.
And four Of clover in the bay;
Red-top that's cut. well, m iddlin' fair,
And bifs OF roots oblong and SO are,
To help exc out the crops OF hay
4 dozen head of cattle stand
Reflective In the leaf strswn yard;
And stalks are SACKED or every hand
TIE latest offering Of the land
To labor long maintained, and hard
Cart loads of pumpkins yonder lie
The horse is feeding in his stall;
The oats are bundled scaffJld- high.
And peas and beans are heaped hard by,
AS if there were some festival.
Al length Old Farmer Joe sits doyn,
A patch across each Of his knees;
He crowds his hat back on his crOwn,
Then clasps his hauds-so hard and brown
And like farmer, takes his ease.
"How fat the years do go!" says he;
at seems, in fact, but yes erd"y,
That III this very barn We three

Pitched in The summer loads Of hay

'Ziekel died in Mexico
Some one must stay and ride The pillow,
Get up tie horse and milk the COW
And who, Of course, but little Joe
/ might have preached. like Parson Jones;
Or got living ut the law;
I might have gone to Congress, sure;
i might have kept Water Cure;
might have gone and been--oh. pshaw
Far better is it a itis;
What future waits him, no man knows;
What he has got, that sure is his;
1t makes no odds If stocks have riz,
Or politicians come TO blows
Content is rich, and something more
think I've heard somebody say;
If irrains, it's apt to pour;
And am rich on this barn fl 0or,
Where all ls mine that l en- raise.
I've plowed and moved this dear old farm,
Till not a rod but what know;
I've kept the old folks snug and warm
And lived without twinge ofharm-
! don't care how the storm might blow.
And on this same old farm I'll stay,
And raise my cattle and my corn;
Here shall these hairs turn wholly gray;
These feet she'll never learn 10 stray;
But Will die where 1 was born 2"
And Farmer Joe pulled down his hat,
And stood upon his feet once more;
BE would not argue, after that,
But like born uristoorat,
ktPtCn his walk about the floor.

LIFE INSURANCE PROGRESS, 1866.

From the Insurance Monitor Of New York;
We present our readers this month
with the abstract of the Life Insurance
business for the year ending December
81, 1866. Our friends will be amazed at
the vastness of the figures before them,
aud the entire community may congratu-
late themselves over the results of the
past years operations. W. know of
nothing in the past history of Life Tnsur-
ance that can be compared with the
splendid achievements of the last three
years, and more especially of the year
1866. Among the events which will
ever be memorable in history as tending
to the advancement and security of So
ciety, Life Insurance progress and popu-
larity will be eminent. It is impossible
, 1867-09-06

that the full amour. assured will be paid
within 8 Months after proof of death, and
this is the mode adopted by the "Royal'
"Northern'' and I believe most all Eng
lish Life Assurance Companies.

it is supposed will do much in overcoming
the difficulties attendant in raising it

have hitherto bafled the attempts to raise

leave most respectfully to state that if
the above sentence, dressed as it is in
form of q question, pretends to be q
report of an incident at the election, it is
not correct. l never asked voters if they
intended 10 vote for Mr.. Lagarde. When
voters named Mr.. Lagarde, I have asked,
which Mr.. Lagarde they meant: there
are two here in ST. Thomas. The Colo
NAL Law s 30 demands that the voter
shall give the full name. When the Uery
first man, who presented himself at the
poll, voted for Mr.. f. de Lagarde, / told

eligible, but that nevertheless the vote
should be taken. / do not consider that |
