BREWER, JR., VICE-PRESIDENT. WILLIAM HAXTUN, SECRETARY. CYRUS MUNN, ASSISTANT SECRETARY. CASH ASSETS, OVER – – $2,000,000 CASH INCOME, OVER – $1,000,000 DIVIDENDS ANNUALLY, at the end of the first and every year from date of Policy. Policies kept in force by NON-FORFEITABLE DIVIDENDS. THE WASHINGTON OFFERS ALL THE REAL ADVANTAGES OF OTHER COMPANIES, And, in addition THE NON-FORFEITURE OF DIVIDENDS AND THE APPLICATION OF DIVIDENDS AS PREMIUM, ON POLICIES WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE LAPSE FROM NON-PAYMENT OF PREMIUM. EXAMPLE.— Age 44 — Policy $10,000 — Annual Premium, $364 60. Dividends amounting to $288 would hold the Policy in force 288 days (9 months and 18 days) after failing to pay the Premium. In some cases dividends would keep Policies in force for years. THE WASHINGTON holds over $137 for each $100 liabilities, having the largest excess of cash surplus of any permanently-established Life Insurance Company in America, thereby giving the utmost possible security to the policy-holder. 1870.] BROTHER OF ALL, WITH GENEROUS HAND. 75 I wouldn't say a word till it was all settled, for Brag's a good dog, but Holdfast's a better. I've sold my building-site to some gents that want to speculate in a church, and I've made five hundred pounds profit by the sale. I'm always right, soon or late, and I've bought a factory ready-made—the Star Works; bought 'em, sir, with all the gear and plant, and working hands." "The Star Works? The largest but one in Hillsborough !" "Ay, lad. Money and pluck together, they'll beat the world. We have got a noble place, with every convenience. All we have got to do now is to go in and win." Young Little's eyes sparkled. "All right," said he, "I like this way the best." Mrs. Little sighed. BROTHER OF ALL, WITH GENEROUS HAND. 1. BROTHER of all, with generous hand, Of thee, pondering on thee, as o'er thy tomb, I and my Soul, A thought to launch in memory of thee, A burial verse for thee. What may we chant, O thou within this tomb ? What tablets, pictures, hang for thee, O millionaire ? The life thou lived'st we know not, But that thou walk'dst thy years in barter, 'mid the haunts of brokers ; Nor heroism thine, nor war, or glory. Yet lingering, yearning, joining soul with thine, If not thy past we chant, we chant the future, Select, adorn the future. 2. Lo Soul, the graves of heroes ! The pride of lands—the gratitudes of men, The statues of the manifold famous dead, Old World and New, The kings, inventors, generals, poets, (stretch wide thy vision, Soul,) The giants of the races, great discoverers, sailors, Marble and brass select from them, with pictures, scenes, (The histories of the lands, the races, bodied there, In what they've built for, graced and graved, Monuments to their heroes.) 3. Silent, my Soul, With drooping lids, as waiting, pondered, Turning from all the samples, all the monuments of heroes. While through the interior vistas, Noiseless uprose, phantasmic, (as, by night Auroras of the north,) Lambent tableaux, prophetic, bodiless scenes, Spiritual projections. In one, among the city streets, a laborer's home appear'd, After his day's work done, cleanly, sweet-air'd, the gas-light burning, The carpet swept, and a fire in the cheerful stove. In one, the sacred parturition scene, A happy, painless mother birth'd a perfect child. [*76 BROTHER OF ALL, WITH GENEROUS HAND. [JAN.*] In one, at a bounteous morning meal, Sat peaceful parents, with contented sons. In one, by twos and threes, young people, Hundreds concentering, walk'd the paths and streets and roads, Toward a tall-domed school. In one a trio, beautiful, Grandmother, loving daughter, loving daughter's daughter sat, Chatting and sewing. In one, along a suit of noble rooms, 'Mid plenteous books and journals, paintings on the walls, fine statuettes, Were groups of friendly journeymen, mechanics, young and old, Reading, conversing. All, all the shows of laboring life, City and country, women's and men's and children's, Their wants provided for, hued in the sun, and tinged for once with joy, Marriage, the street, the factory, farm, the house-room, lodging-room, Labor and toil, the bath, gymnasium, play-ground, library, college, The student, boy or girl, led forward to be taught; The sick cared for, the shoeless shod—the orphan father'd and mother'd, The hungry fed, the houseless hous'd; (The intentions perfect and divine, The workings, details, haply human.) 4. O thou within this tomb, From thee, such scenes—thou unstinted, lavish Giver, Tallying the gifts of Earth—large as the Earth, Thy name an Earth, with mountains, fields and rivers. Nor by your streams alone, you rivers, By you, your banks, Connecticut, By you, and all your teeming life, Old Thames, By you, Potomac, laving the ground Washington trod—by you Patapsco, You, Hudson—you, endless Mississippi—not by you alone, But to the high seas launch, my thought, his memory. 5. Lo, Soul, by this tomb's lambency, The darkness of the arrogant wisdom of the world, With all its flaunting aims, ambitions, pleasures. (Old, commonplace, and rusty saws, The rich, the gay, the supercilious, smiled at long, Now, piercing to the marrow in my bones, Fused with each drop of blood by heart's blood jets, Swim in ineffable meaning.) Lo, Soul, the sphere requireth, portioneth, To each his share, his measure, The moderate to the moderate, the ample to the ample. Lo, Soul, see'st thou not, plain as the sun, The only real wealth of wealth in generosity, The only life of life in goodness. WALT WHITMAN.
