The National Life Insurance COmpaH.
of the United States of Am erica.

In marked contrast with the unpleasant develop
ments that have appeared recently concerning GER
tain companies, glad note the results OF
official examination of this company. Although
having charter direct from Congress, it does not
attempt to disavow its responsibility to State in
surance laws.
By mutual agreement. on behalf of the State DE-
partments of New York, Massachusetts, Pennsyl-
yania and Michigan, the Hon. Samuel H Rowe, OF
the latter state, commenced on January Sth rigid
examination of the books, assets and liabilities OF
Prof. Watson, the well-known actuary, and '. H.
Lott, Esq.
The detailed examination continued without in
terrupton until the 10th of February. The results
are highly gratifying TO the friends of the company
and the public generally. On the 18th instant the
company received from Commissioner Rowe a re-
newal Of its authority to do business in Michigan,
together with his written assurance that he found
the company able to comply fully with the stringent
laws Of his State The entire reserve is invested IN
United States bonds and first mortgages. On the
3lst of December 1876, it had grand surplus above
all liza bties of AIS S35 Its receipts III 1916
ceeded its disbursements by $500 coo, although
it paid in death claims nearly quarter of mil
lion dollars. More perfect security could not be Of
fered to insurers 1t is almost Unnecessary to say
that this company has nothing to do with the Ma
tiOnal Capital Life Insurance Company of the Dis

The New Head-Mariner.

At dinner-party given by Secretary
Sherman Saturday evening to the
members of the Cabinet and few
friends, the table was graced by a three
masted ship composed of flowers. On
the main1nast was small United States
flag, which Secretary Sherman said his
little daughter had placed there. Sen
ator Hoar, of Massachusetts, said, in
his dry, Yankee way, to the Secretary
of the Navy, who sat opposite him,
"Wel, Mr.. Thompson, will you please
tell us if that is the correct position for
the American flag to occupy on a ship ?"
Everybody waited for the reply with
interest, for it is well known that the
new Secretary is no sailor, and they
thought he was cornered. But he took
advantage of the Cabinet custom, and
replied in a dignifed manner, "Ahem
I will refer you, sir, to the Attorney
General" The answer was greeted
with peals of laughter.

WORK AND WAIT.
BY JOAQUIN MILLER


Forty days and forty nights,
Blown about the broken waters.
Noah and his sons and daughters
Forty days they beat and blow
Forty days of faith, and 10!
The olive leaf, the lifted heights, IA.
The rest at last, the calm delights.
Forty years of sun and sand,
Serpents, beasts and wilderness.
Desolation aud distress,
War and famine, wall and woe
Forty years of faith, and 10!
The mighty Moses lifts hand
And shows at last the promised land.
Forty days to fast and pray,
The patient Christ outworn defied
The angry tempter at his side. iF
Forty days or forty years ....
OF patient sacrifice and tears
Lo what are all of these the day
That time has nothing more to say?
Lift your horns, exut and blow,
Believe aud labor. Tree and vine
Must flourish ere the fruit and wine
Reward your planting. Round and round
The rocky walls, with faith profound,
The trumpets blew, blew loud, and 10.
The tumbled walls of Jericho.

Shooting the Cat.
From the Boston Globe.


A Pleasant street man, becoming
disguised and almost wild at the night.
ly yowling and wanton habits of a once
favorite cat, borrowed an old rusty
gun of neighbor short time ago,
and for the last three or four days he
had been skirmishing around the back
yard trying to get q shot at the crafty
old feline. Monday morning the ami
NAL was coaxed out from behind an
ash-barrel by tempting bit of lobster,
when the old man took a position be-
hind a grape-lattice, brought the blum
derbuss up to bis shoulder and pulled
the trigger. A conclusion followed
that seemed to rip the armament
asunder; the frightened neighbors
rushed up to the scene of the explosion
and found the unfortunate man
wedged in between the house and a
large flower urn. His nose was
damned round against his ear, and his
out with a sledge hammer and run
through hay-cutter. The owner Of
the dangerous musket says it was cap
tured by his grandfather from Semi
mole Indian during the Florida war,
and the reason he assigned for the
"durned thing kickin' So" is that it
was loaded at the time his grandfather
brought it home, and had remained so
till the old man got hold Of it, and
the charge he put IN, caused the mis-
chief. The cat escaped, and is still
making night hideous with its dismal
Cutcries.

A Story About Washington.
The Boston Transcript tells a little
story about Washington, which came
from the lips Of an Old lady in Rhode
Island twenty-five years ago. Her
father kept tavern in that small col
ony during the Revolution. He re-
ceived word that Gen. Washington and
his staff would arrive on certain day
and call for dinner. Great prepara-
tons were made, and when the dlstin
guished guests entered the dining-room
their eyes fell on dainty feast. The
members Of the family stood behind
the chairs, dressed in their best clothes,
to wait upon the officers. Great was
their surprise when Washington quietly
turned to the hostess and asked:
"Have you plenty of milk in the
house? If you can, I wish you would
give me a bowl of hasty pudding and
milk" The frugal fare was furnished,
and he would eat nothing else. After
dinner one Of the family said to him:
"Your work is SO hard, we should sup
pose you would need something more
hearty than hasty pudding and milk"
Placing his hand upon his head he re-
piled: "Here is my work"

the schooner was wrecked in a terrible
gale, and Williams, the only survivor of
the ships crew, was found lashcd TO the
mainmast, and taken off by a passing
vessel after the storm had in measure
abated. 1t would naturally be supposed
that this second narrow escape would
deter the mariner from further risks by
sea; but not so; there was fascination in
the tempcstuous life which he could not
resist, and accordingly we find him sailing
again as soon as he could find q berth. He
continued a seafaring man for number Of
years, and finally obtained command Of a
schooner trading from New York to Gal

the former to the latter port that his
vessel went down during one Of the terrible

Amusing Mistake Of Two Young
Preachers.

An amusing scene occurred in the Chris
tian Church at Larksville, Pa, last Sunday
morning. 1t appears that the Methodist
pulpit at that place was to be supplied by a
preacher from the Wyoming Seminary,
and two young men proceeded thithcr for
the purpose Of conducting the service. In
stead of going into the Methodist church,
however, they went into the Christian
church, on the opposite side Of the street,
where they found large CONGREGATION.
Thinking that they had been waited for,
they proceeded at once 10 the vacant
pulpit, and after a brief pause and a glance
at the congregation, one OF them rose. read
chapter in the Bible, and said he had
selected it as the foundation Of a few re-
marks. The Rev. Mr.. Beyan, pastor Of the
church, who was a little behind time.
walked in at this interesting juncture. and
much TO his surprise found his pulpit
already occupied. lie did not make a
demonstration like Robert of Sicily. when
that monarch found an angel in his place,
but proceeded softly up and took his seat
inside the railing to await further develop.

who was about to hold forth. Her con

something in his car that made him c,ang
