Delays arc Dangerous.

The benefits accruing to poor men from
carrying life insurance have recently had
at least two striking exemplifcations in
this county in the deaths Of Messrs. De.
witt c, Holcomb and S. B. Brownlee.
Each of these two had only paid an annual
premium and settlements we're promptly
made as soon as the necessary papers were
made out. Brownlee and Holcomb were
both insured in the Mutual Benefit, of
Newark, N. j.. which is represented in the
Fork by G. N. G. Boleman, and in this
city by G. W. Miller. This is one of the
strongest and most reliable companies, be-.
ing in its 46th year of existence and hav-
ING so millions of assets. It deserves
special mention for its prompt settlements,
having adjusted Mr.. Holcomb's claim
within ten days from the time proof was
made.

should promptly attend to this important
matter and thereby protect their wives and
children, in case Of Death, from the dread.

a Howl from Bruno

We are down with the blues,
On account OF the news;
The kilograms are all alarming,
The cry for breadstuffs
Is warning enough
To change our program in farming.
We live and we move,
But do we improve?
We scarcely can boast of progression,
We are bound to confess,
That instead of progress,
The rage OF the nge is transgression.
We labor and toll,
Mid strife and turmoil,
We are forced to subsist on half rations,
The garments we wear,
Are nearly threadbare,
We cannot keep up with the fashions
think that with me,
Nearly all will agree,
There's screw loose somewhere in the
nation,
There must be flaw,
Somewhere in the law,
That causes financial starvation.
Now, I'd like to know,
The cause of this woe,
pause for On explanation.
But I'm certain we've got,
A most villainous lot,
OF swindlers in administration.

accordingly. This is an example well
worthy Of imitation. So, farmers, make

AS thou passeth to the SEQ.

Fluttering like heart In pain,
Do they tell of lands still fairer
Than thy sunny banks and plain
And the stars, when looking sadly,
Knowing we'll the night wind's Sigh,
Do they ever tell thee, river,
Of that other sphere so high?
Where in worlds of silvery splendor,
Shining down on thee tonight,
Lovingly dost thou reflect them
In their glorious beauty bright.
Dost thou. ever sigh, dear river?
Dost thou ever tired grow?
Flowing onward, ever onward,
With incessant sweeping flow.
Tell me when the moon seems looking
Down into thy currents heart,
Is there any secret whispered
That thou could'st to me impart.
Dost thou know how well love thee,
River of immortal blue;
On thy banks child gaMboled,
Thou the friend of years so true.
All my childish griefs and sorrows
To thy listening waves I told,
Thou would'st seem to smile or saddel
at the tales that were so old.
Now once more stand beside thee,
Childhood's days are far behind,
Yet their memories wildly thronging
With thy night-song fills my mind.
And fain would tell my secret,
But the stars so bright doth shine,
They would listen calm and sadly,
They must not my soul diYiue.
Listen, river, solemn river,
When I'bow me down by thee,
Keep my secret sacred ever,
AS thou foWest to the sea.
Never whisper to the night-winds
What my heart doth tell thee now,
When the moon-beams glisten brightly
Shield 1t with thy bosom's flow.
