THERE IS WO DEATH.
There is no death ! . Tiic-ttnrs go down
To rise upon eome fairer shore;
.And blight in Heaven's jeweled crown '
They shiQc forever more.
There is no death ! The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the suroiurr showers
To golden rain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted fiovcrs.
The granite rocks disorganiz ;
To feed ths hungry moss they bear;
The forest'leaves drink daily life.
From oat the viewless dr.
There is no death ! The leaves may fall,
1 The Cowers may fall aod fade away
They only vit, through wintry hours,
The coming of. the May.
There is no death ! An angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent tread ;
Jle bears our Left loved things away,
And then vre call them "dead."
lie leaves our hearts nil desolate .
He pluck? our iWrrci.', sweetest flowers;
Transplanted info bliss, they novr
Adorn iinworiul lorcts.
3orn into that undying life,
They leave us but to come again;
With joy we welcome them the ptirae, "
Excpt in sin and paiu.
.And ever near ys, though unpeen,-
The dear iiuuivrt;;! spirit tread;
For all th bouudlcss univcise
Is liib there is' to death!

this Society have determined to declare their divi
dends annually in cash. The first dividend will be
declared Feb 1,1667. -Thelgst dividend dechiredi
on the quiiKiuennial plan reduced the premiums in
some cases more than 50 per cent, or doubiedihe
Policy during the nest dividend period. It is be
lieved for the future lhat no company in this e'oun
try will be able to 'present greater advantages in its
dividends to persons assuring than this Society, as
totai expenditure to cash premium received was,
by the last New York Itisuiance Report, less than
that of any of the older American Life Insurance,
companies.
The otliccrs of this society, desire to present To
the public for their consideration - five modes ot di
viding'surplus preuiiur.a or profits, Eumvuf which
were never before granted to 'Policy-holders by any
Life Coitfptwiy. and present advantages obvious to all:
1st. The dividends may be applied to the pur
chase of addi fional assurance for a term of years.
2d. Dividends may be applied to reduce the pre
miiwrii coming due next. At the la?t dividend', upoli
a similar plan, premiums were reduced fine-half up
on so in u policies.
3d. The dividend may be applied to provide for
the payment of premiums at the latter end of life,
so lhat the "assured may be guaranteed againM fur
ther payments on ajtaitiing a certaia age, each suc
cessive dividend gradually reducitirr the time during
which the premiums must' continue to bv-paid. so
lhat at last, with I lie sarnie Mic.ees.5- as heretofore, a
paid policy will be secured by quite a moderate
number of premiums, To illustrate A man assur
ing at 25 years old would, oi the basis of our last
dividend, be'secu red by this application' of dividend
against any payment after 45 and probabfy at an
earlier age and thereafter receive nu annual divi
dend. in cash. .
4lh. Dividends may he applied t o the purchase of
a certain addition to the poiicy, payable with it.
5th. Dividends-may be applied to the reduction of
all future premiums during the coutinuauce of the
