SECOND C CHILDHOOD,

BY REV. A. A. Z. TAYLOR.
A wounded boy lay on the held,
TO him the Geld Of death,
l. sroucAipg down to catch the word
Borne en- his parting breath,
Hear " Neg Lay ne" but no moro s
The fainting sufferer aith. SO p
With closed eyes he m oans In pain,
Again bend me low.
Quick tremors run thro' all his frame;
Then mutt-red. faint and slow.
al praJ The Lord falls on my esT;
No further tongue can 90.
His water flask 1, filling, press
Against bis parcbed lips;
A smile runs DER his lifted face
As weariedly he ssps; tss@
But while "If shFuld die" he says,
The rest from memory slips.
Scarce breathing now he seems to sleep,
With pulsing, sunken cheek;
Exhausted life flows ebbIng fast,
Its hold how very week;
Yet Suddenly, ny soul TO take"
He summons strength TO speak.
Poor lad said, a mothers prayer
Lives in thy heart from yore:
A mothers love attends her child
Fen to the farthsr shore;
"Fcr Jesus' sake" he gasped aloud.
Then sighed-and breathed no more!

That crime of all kinds is largely on the in-
crease. particularly In the large cities, is very
certap, al d that offences Of the sort suggested
are committed by persons occupying rsspecta-
BILE positions in life is quite likely. Extrava-
CANT living and desire to cut dash in society
are at the bottom of the difficulty nine tunes in

Apropos 20 the extravagant salaries. liberal

paid by the principal Insurance Companies of
New York, paper of that city ing uires how

cholera should ever again visit New YORK
they would all 20 overooard. This assurance
is ANYTHING but pleasant to policy holders, but
we dare say there is more foundation for it
than one would AT first suppose. IN view OF the
present oFporent prosperity Of almost all cor
porations of the kind. At any rate. the ques-
tion propounded is q pertinent one, and one
which will probably set those interested to
thinking whether they had not better place
their reliance in home companies, which do a
s,fer IL a smaller business, with the affairs OF
which they are familiar, and in whose manage
ment they have that con fdsnce which is born
of long acquaintance and established integrity.
