The Tran. What do I owe the years, that I should bring Oreen leaves to crown them king? Brown, barren sands, the thistle and the brier; Dead love and mocked desire, And sorrow, vast and pitiless as the sea; These are their gifts to me. What do I owe the years, that I should love And sing the praise thereof? Perhaps the lam's clear carol wakes with morn, And winds, amid the corn. Clash fairy cymbals; but I miss the joys. Missing the tender voice Sweet as a throstle after April rain That may not sing again. NEW YOEE LIEE INSURANCE COM' EANIE8 TN EUROPE. . [From the Cosmopolitan.] It seems a little odd that while the United States are constantly coming to Europe for capital, life Insurance Companies in New York should be at the same time establishing branches in London, Paris and other leading cities of the Continent. Formerly the agents of English Life Insurance Companies had offi ' ces An Wall street, and did a large business In America. But now the tables are turned. While branches of British Fire Companies are flourishing all over the United States, British Life Companies are* driven from the American field. This is owing, not so much to prejudice against foreign capitol as to the superior sys? tem ot life insurance invented, we may say, hy? the Americans, and chiefly by the New York Life Insurance Company, one of the oldest, ' largest and richest companies in the United States, and which has recently opened offices in London and Paris. In tbe fine new building. Nos. 76 and 77, Cheapside, our old familiar friend, "The New York," has opened a suite ol' elegant offices, and unfurled Its banner to the breeze of British favor. As was to have been expected, lt has already caught a little of the breath of British jealousy. But this will soon blow over. Even Englishmen are becoming less lnsu'ar, and more cosmopolitan. They begin, reluctantly, to acknowledge that certain "good things" come from the Nazareth over the wa? ter beside the "Almighty Dollar." And the American system of life insurance ls one of them. The general European agent of the "New York" fe Mr. Harry S. Homans, who has associated with him Mr. Cornelfts Walford. Both of these names are well and widely known in the insurance world. Mr. _omans comes of what we may call good "insurance stock." Smith Homans and Sheppard Homans are "authorities" on all Insurance-questions in the United States, and Harry 8. Homans, duri ng a residence of some sixteen years in San Fran ci s bn?t np a life insurance business of a million and a naif ofdollars a year. His as? sociate, Mr. Walford, bas devoted his life to . the same calling, and what the twain do not know about the business in which they are en Bged, to nae an Americanism, is not worth owing. The following admirable letter bas beed called forth by a little national boasting on the part el a so-called Insurance "organ" ol thisby: "SLR-In your Issue of the l Uh Instant, I ob? serve a remark under your Notices to Corres? pondents.' as follows : * * " 'The fact of the matter is that there are no life offices In the world that can approach the English and Scottish offices In point of secu ^ity.' - ??The character ol your journal Is a guaran? tee that what there appears editorially ls writ ten In good faith; yet I venture to think that the observation quoted was made without due consideration. *_ "Circumstances have induced me recently to pay especial attention to the American life in? surance offices, and, as the -result, I am pre? pared to maintain against all assailants the ' following proposition : 1. That as large a proportion of the whole ol the American life offices are thoroughly sound and solvent fas of the English and Scot tish life offices. - 2. That the features of the American life of? fices are as liberal to the insured, as sound in principle and as honest in practice as those ol the English and Scottish offices. 3. That the management of the Americas . offices 13 as careful, as able, as scientific, at economical,- and as successful as that of thc English and Scottish offices. . "4. Tb at some of the greatest Improvements in the practice of life insurance Incident .tc modern times have originated with the Ameri? can ?nices, and are-now being adopted by English offices. "I have been careful to speak of equality only. If any discussion arises by the accept ance of this challenge, I reserve to myself th< right ol showing that there are some advan tages on the side of the American offices whict the English and Scottiah offices cannot wei. reach. The high rate of Interest which can be realized on perfectly good securities in Ameri? ca ls one ot the keys to such advantages. "I do not wish to approach this subject ic aty party spirit, or under false colors. The life insurances effected in the present genera? tion are for the benefit of widows and orphans In the next. Full knowledge upon all the questions here discussed ls lor the benefit ol mankind. The English offices have long trad? ed In America, and have been extensively patronized. In the meantime the American . offices have been growing. They are no w ( man j of them) wealthy and solid Institutions. The j are coming to seek their fortunes in Europe This step cannot be long stayed-they an here. I have accepted the position of asso elate manager of one of them. I enclose foi your own information a copy of the certificat* of the Hon. William Barnes (a man well knowi and deservedly respected her?) as to the posi? tion of that company. I have become one ol its champions in Europe. I ask but fair fight lng. and no favor. It is in this spirit I non addr ess you. . "Believe me, yours most truly, 4- "CoRNKLios WALFORD. "New York Life Insurance Company, No's, 76 and 77, Cheapside, E. C., 16th March, 1870.' The company represented in London bj Mesera. Homans and Walford shows a record of prosperity without a parallel in the financial world. Extensive and Judicious advertising, wi th sagacious and honest management, ar? the secrets of Its wonderful success. We, #hc know this company well in its "day of small things." can hardly believe the figures lt now annually reports to the public. We quote the following as an "eye-opener:" Received for Received for Paid foi Premiums. Interest, Ac. Losses.
