no other sound securities can so large rate of

Its sound and sufficient assets, cor

dences of the strength and superiority
of THE WASHINGTON.
Disturbances in Wall Street, or in
foreign markets, do not affect its Sc

is felt by the holders of its policies,
whatever may be the effect on those of
other companies.
The Company's income in 1891 for

SOMETHING.

A something hovers in the air,
And poises DER the naked tree,
And rides upon the winged cloud,
Yet hath no form the eye can see;
But to the deeper, inward sight
1t is u presence sweet and true.
That fills the universe with joy,
And wakes the earth with impulse new
A something in the forest heard,
1t scarcely may be named Il voice,
Yet fettered captives hear its call,
And in their longing hearts rejoice:-
A subtle whisper in the breeze,
So soft, it seems spirits breath,
Yet leaflless boughs grow tremulous
With ecstacy, at what it saith!
A something rises with the morn,
And fingers with the suns last ray,
Brings rapture to the silent night,
And lustre to the shining day;
With yearning, half of bliss and pain,
1t swells my heart, and, wondering,
1 ask-What can it be? A bird
Sings at my window-"kt is spring! ~

The captain, d har6-headea chap, had
