the heavy debt of gratitude the country it in
turn. by its pledges of indemnity tens of thousands
of our business men, have been enabled undertake
and conduct successfully enterprises of all degrees of
magnitude, unsuppor'sd by which no prudent man
would for u moment nave considered Thousands
upon thousands OF risks it has assumed Tor
prising people since its organization, which ndi-
vidua could have carried, aud one could have been
found who would furnish so much capital and then
stand behind to guarantee against the perils of fire
and water this great corporation. Look at its
ord. Organized In june 1919. with capital stock Of
sl50,000. This increased to S300O0 in 1872 and
1851 to 100000. Its assets were then $773s7. In
ls57 its capital was doubled, making 1t 900, 600
with assets Of .5063ss. In s59 $500 more was
added to Its capital and in lsd4 It again ncreas-

loss against them AS fast as presented at sight Not
year later c,ime the Boston fire and losses to the
ftna amounting to 81 ,G04 3ly, which were promptly
paid. The records of Fire Insurance furnish no
parallel. Since its organization 1t has received in
premiums in round numbers $4,000 600 and has paid
900 for losses, and in dividend stock and cash

The Lost Babies.

Come, my wife, put down the Bible,
Lay your glasses on the book,
Both of US are bent and aged,
Backward. mother, let us look.
This is sill the same old homestead
Where / brought you long-ago,
When the hair was bright with sunshine
That is now like winters snow;
Let us talk about the babies
AS we sit here all alone.
Such merry troupe of youngsters
How we lost them one by one.
Jack, the first of all the party,
Came TO us one winters night
Jack, you said, should be a parson,
Long before he saw the light.
Do you see that great cathedral,
Filled, the transept and the nave,
Hear the organ grandly pealing,
Watch the silken hangings wave,
See the priest in robes of office,
With the altar at his back
Would you think that gifted preacher
Could be our own little Jack ?
Then a girl with curly tresses
Used to climb upon my knee,
Like little fairy princess
Ruling at tho age of three.
With the years there came Wedding
How your fond heart swelled with pride
When the lord of all the country
Chose your baby for his bride
Watch that stately carriage coming,
And the form reclining there
| Would YOU think that brilliant lady
Could be your own little Clare
Then the last, blue-eye youngster-
can hear him prattling now
Such strong and sturdy fellow,
With his broad and honest brow.
| How he used to love his mother
All I see your trembling lip
He is far off on the water,
Captain of royal ship.
/ See tho bronze upon his forehead,
! Hear the voice of stern command
That tho boy who chung so fondly
To his mothers gentle hand.
All my wife. we've lost the babies,
Ours SO long aud ours alone
What alc we to these great people,
Stately men and women grown
Seldom do VIC ever see them;
Yes, a bitter tear.drop starts,
AS we sit here in the freight,
Lonely hearth and lonely hearts.
All their lives are full without ms
They'll stop long enough one day
Just to lay US in the church yard,
Then They'll each 20 on their way.
