COMFORT OF rHR eiELps

What would'st thou have for easement after
grief.
When the rude world hath used thee with
despite,
And care sits at thy elbow day ami night,
Filching thy pleasures like a subtle thief?
To me- when life besets me in such wise,
IT'S sweetest TO break forth. to drop the
chain
And grasp the freedom of this pleasant
earth,
To roam in idleness and sober mirtl
Through summer airs and SPINNER lands, and
drain
The comfort of wide fields unto tired eyes.
By hills and waters, farms AMI soltu les,
To wander by the day with wilful feet,
Through fielded valleys wide with yellow
ing wheat,
Along gray roads that ron between deep
woois
Murmurous and cool; through h:.llowed
Stores of pine,
Where the long daylight dreams, I'M
pierced, unstirred.
And only the rich -throatsd thrush is
heard;
By lofaoly forest brooks that frJth aud shine
In powdered crannies, buried in the hills
By broken beaches tangled with wild vine,
.Aed log strewn rivers murmurous with
mills
70 upland pastures sown with gold, AMI
sweet
With the keen perfun ne of the ripening
grass,
Where wings of birds and filmy shadows
pass,
Spread thick as stars with shining mar
guarite;
To haunt old fences overgrowh vita brier,
Muffied in vines AMI hawthorns W / wild

Across wi1e-rseiel mares, pensive with

To hear tho qusrul1us outcry Of the loon;

the formation of Military Company, stating
that there was a bill before the Legislature
for four additional companies to be incor-
porsted into the State troops of Michigan,
which was likely to pass and become law;
in that event, Owosso, with its splendid sur

of young men which we have to select from,
would stand an excellent chance of having
a company. With proficiency i'm drill the

Home Life Insurance 90.
A New Feature of Insurance.

Before insuring your lives II would be
well to investigate the new feature of in
surance recently adopted by the Home Life
Insurance Company, of New York, namely:
1.-THE Dividend Endowment. Plan combined
with the Return Premium" BY this we
mean to say that the full annual premium
will he paid to the beneficiary in the event
of DEATH in addition to the face of the
policy; and If the party who insures lives 20
years, the full amount of insurance is
payable direct TO him at that time.
All Dividend Endowment Policies have
the premium Loan" feature.
On ten payment plan, after premiums
have been paid five years. the company will
loan all subsequent premiums; and on a
twenty payment policy of the same form,
after premiums have been paid for ten
years, will loan the ten remaining premiums.
Also on all Return Premium" Policies
the cash value Is guaranteed and written i'm
the Policy contract.
The Home Lite has surplus of assets
over its liabilities, which is more than
double the average ratio of all other life
companies combined, making it the safest
and one of the cheapest companies i'm which
to insure. For further information apply
