LITTLE FRANKLY.

He died in beauty like rose,
Withered in early bloom;
How sweet he sleeps in deaths embrace,
Torn from us, alas, too soon.
His dimpled cheeks and sunny brow,
No more can give us joy;
Ours only tor n little while,
Death claims our darling boy.
He shall sleep, but not forever,
There will be glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no, never
On the resurrection morn.
Thou hast gone; no more we meet thee,
While the path of life we tread
Thou hast lett us, darling Frankly,
Thou art numbered with the dead.
Tears shall follow another
Ere thy friends shall cease to weep;
We must leave thee in thy SAUNDERS,
In thy long and dreamless sleep.
Thou art gone, and sadly. slowly.
They Will bear thee to the tomb;
We must bid thee farewell Frankly,
For immortal thou dost bloom.

This Company is purely Mutual there being no
Stockholders to absorb any portion of its funds its
surplus belonging wholly to its members and being
equitably apportioned among them in Annual Dvi-
bends, or returns of surplus premiums.
In comparison with other American Life Compa-
MES, the CONNECTICUT MUTUAL has conducted its
business at a Lower Average Rate OF Expenses;
its Claims by Death have averaged less in proper
ton, than those of any other Company having suf
fcien extent of business to test the law of mortal
ity; and
It's Assets have been uniformly invested at a net
rate of interest exceeding that realized by any SINH
lar institution.
The necessary result of this economy in manage
ment, careful selection of lives and highly produc
tive Investments, has been that the CONNECTICUT
MUTUAL has afforded Insurance to its members ut q
Less Average Cost, than any other Company.
Its investments are Securely and Probably made.
and contain NO Committed Commissions, Fancy
Stocks, Personal Securities, nor any Imaginary or
Unrealized Assets.
Beyond doubt the CONNECTICUT MUTUAL is the
Strongest Life Insurance Company in the World;
its ratio OF Assets to Liabilities, measured by the
New York Legal Standard. is SI01.5O per o1OO3
and it grants all desirable forms of Insurance upon
strictly Equitable Terms, and at the Cheapest At
tainabe Rates of Cost.

The recent storm forces the subject of
system of drainage for the streets of the city,
upon the attention of many of our citizens
who live on the fiat strips of land at the foot
of the hill bounding the limits of the city
proper on the west and north. These people
are sensibly affected by spring floods and
rains. Their cellars are not of sufficient Ca
pacity to accommodate the immense flow from
the hills, and when they seek for drains they
are not to be found. The suggestions OF the
Mayor, in his excellent annual address, in
regard to this matter, should be needed, and
if nothing more than a survey can now be
made, that would be consolation to those
who are annually up to their ears in water.
