Among the various Life Insurance
Companies that are established all over
the country, there is one, and that but
lately organized, which stands pre.emi-
ncnt among its fellows. The National
Life Insurance Company of the United
States Of America is an institution char
tered by Congress, and entitled to do
business and hold estate in every part Of
the Union. Its capital, all paid in, is
one million dollars, and its affairs are di.
rcctcd by such men as Clarence II. Clark
Jay Cooke, +. A. Rollins, and others OF
the very highest rank. The security of
such y large pad-up capital, and the
well known integrity Of its directors, place
it at once upon tie most substantial basis.
Its plans ol operations are both simple and
thorough There are to be no notes,

Autumnal.

Can this be sadness? this forebode decay?
Sure. hues that pale like these the dawnins's s

That, kindlIns through these boughs, with
Streams Joy and summer to the shades below.
And thou, brown -dappled Oak, and Maple
gay,
Little Birch gold-hued, thin Ash, whose dyes
might shame
The trodden vintage reeking on the lees,
And ivied Beech, with sanguine cinctures fair
AS in the long days past, fraternal trees,

Ger banks ofmossy mould how lightly strewn
All the wan summer liesl The needless tread
Awakes no sound; and, had not pale leaves
AS soft 1t came, the low wind were not
How strange the sharp and long-drawn sha-
From iank and shrivelled branches overhead
While from their wlthered glories, spoiler-
The earthly autumn scents are falntly blown
Ahi reft and ravaged bowers, the garlsh day
Flaunts through the hidings of your dewy
And thou, in leafy twillghts wont to be-
Shy maid, sweet-thoughted sadness, come

And here beneath this Hemlocks dropping
plumes,
With pensive retrospection muse with me-
Why holds DER all my heart this dreamy hour
4 sway that spring or summer never knew
Why seems this ragged gentian, wanly blue
OF all the circling year the fnirest flour?
Whence has each wandering leaf this mystic
power
That all my secret being trembles through
Or sounds the blackbird's note more human
true
Than all the songs of June from greenwood
bower?
Deep meanings haunt the groves and sunny
glades,
Strange drearness broods along the hazy
slopes,
A vague but tender awe my breast pervades
That hints OF shadowy doubt, vet is not fear
While muring quiet stlrs with drowsey
hopes.
And Natures loving heart seems doubly near
