[For THE Examiner].

To “The Wandering Jew,” Whose historical, melodious, and somewhat lengthy PokM accompanied the Patriot newspaper on Saturday evening, the Sth of January, 1878, these lines are respectfully dedicated, by one of many admirers. Guost of Apollo— hear me now,— Shake off dull stupor from thy brow, With true poetic strain instil A breeze from high Paruassus’ hill, intrust to care of Muses three, rato, Thalia, Calliope. Send Orpheus here o’er ocean’s track Upon some sturdy dolphin’s back, And if it won't eecumber him, Why let him bring his violin.

Westminster Abbey ope thy door

For ghost of Shakspeare, Shelley, Moore, And lest their aid should be in vain

Let me catch one Byronic strain.

Ye winds that whistle wild without Hasten yet faster on thy route,

Search village, city, valley, hill,

Yet stay—ye Gods, go back again, Your presence would be counted vain ; Go rest in peace,—in bliss serene,—

A greater far is on the scene,

Ye Gods ! although we didn’t know it, Our Island has a Jew—born poet.

Avaunt! Ye poets of Prince Edwerd Isle— Hasten ! ye Bards to greet, with welcome

smile,

He, who last week from Patriot plant ap- pears

A Wandering Jew, aged eighteen hundred years.

Where are ye, Rhymers ? ye who always wrote

Each thing that happened on this Isle, of note-—

Ye Bards, whose verse from East Point to Nail Pond,

Spell-bound the waters, but ne’er soared be- yond, ;

Is there no voice to raise a welcome now

For this poor wanderer, who, with hoary brow,

Seeks but a home, comes but to share your fame,

And on poetic tablets score his name.

Wreathe ye no chaplets for the aged Muse,

Circlets of laurels, and with palm profuse ?

What! What! no welcome then to this old sage,

Not even caustic wit from John LePage?

Not even one small verse, his eves to feast,

Of Blue Glass Poetry, from Souris East ?

Its really too bad that not one of you

Will join in welcoming this ‘Wandering Jew.”

Hail! Jew, an humble voiee would welcome thee i

We bards are prototypes of that old school, Who welcome genius, but deplore the fool. We've read with pleasure all you have to say

ln you we Islanders are pleased to find,

A lofty genius, high prolific mind;

Poet, Philosopher,—yea, we may say more,

A walking warehouse of historic lore.

As such we greet you ; but you must excuse,

Should we some very plain expressions use ; -

For here this fact we never do disguise ;

Our Island Bards are apt to criticise,

In truth, our citizens, have seen the danger

Arising from ajhaste to greet a stranger.

A Jew from Halifax, some months ago

Came over here, and made a lively show

Of gems and gewgaws, —but at last he sold

The good folks here with brass; and bagged their gold, ;

We find it safe since then to caution use,

And search the pedigree of ‘* Wandering Jews,”

Else, tracing back, we find, with feelings irate,

A ‘‘ next of kin” to Governor Pontius Pilate.

Or, if not bred in quite so high a station,

Judas Iscariot’s very near relation, —

But you, we trust, are of the high degree,

In fact, don’t doubt, your ancient pedigree ;

And also noted, when your rhymes oppeared

Tho’ slack in brain, you make it up in beard,

This, as you say, has not been sheared for years,

But to be plain—I really have my fears—

That you've sheared others,—and perhaps not few, —

In ways so useful to a ‘* Wandering Jew ;” And ae no razor ever smoothed your ace, .

It may not, perhaps, just here be ont of ace

To niention, I have seen a razor used,

Or some sharp knife, on certain parts of Jews.

No doubt, being orthodox, when quite a child,

Some ancient Rabbi, half an hour beguiled,

In practicing his handiwork on you—

A necessary act to make a Jew.

It would have been catastrophe most dire,

Had wa been ‘‘frizzled” in the St, John ire,

To know a Jew wha dealt in ‘ cat-sking”’

should

The Globo Mutual vs. the Sun Mutual.

The public will be interested to know the cause of the action for heayy damages en- tered a few days ago by tho Globe Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York a Sun Mutual Life Insurance Company of fVontreal. {fn a circular recently is- sued by the Sun, headed ‘ Inducements to insure in this Company,” a comparative table appearr on which are given the so-called ‘* gross premium income, ex- penditure exclusive of dividends to policy holders, ratio of expenditure to premium income and percentage reserved for future claims and dividends’ of seven American Life Insurance Companies doing business in Canada, and under these the figures of the Sun Mutual, the entire exhibit, not by any means flattering to the American Compan- ies, but more especially to the Globe Mutual. Unqualified statements in such tables are not always expected ; nearly svery concern is continually striving to pick out some spot in the exhibit of its competitors where it may show its own superiority, and for this purpose statements from “‘ blue books” are distorted, and figures are made to beat about the bush and sometimes lie as glibly as though they were the children of ‘* Auld Hornie” himself. The legitimate efforts of all sound Life Insurance Companies should be encouraged by everybody who has the welfare of the community at heart, but it may be doubted whether this is subserved: by attacks leveled against other similar in- stitutions, rather than by confining them- selves toa judicious representation of the benefits of Life Insurance generally. There can be little question that the business of Life Insurance (our savings banks for pos- terity) has been much improved by compe- tition, but the field is not overworked by any means; the proportion of persons in Canada who have insured their lives is com- paratively very small, but the number is in- creasing every year ; 80 also is the popula- tion, and while there is more than enough to do for all, there should be no resort to this questionable mode of advertising. Our readers may rest assured that we shail look carefully after the insurance companies, and shall not be sparing of the lance’ whenever and wherever it is required.

The following are the figures given by the Sun :—

annuities | Holders. on Gl’be —— — —-— ne Mn’t’l! $632,729' $798,865! 1,26 | None.

The following are the figures of the re- port of the Superintendent of Insurance for the State of New York for 1876, table No. IV., Life Income, referred to in the circular of the Sun Mutual :—

Premiums. Int. & Di- Rents Cash. Notes. vidends. Globe Mutual. 632,265 464 218,855, 19,470 Excess of Excess of Rec'd from Income Expendi- all other Total Expendi-tures over

sources. over tures. Income. Income. Globe Mut’l. 128,465 999,521 158,455 None.

Thus it will be observed that the total in- come of the Company for 1876 lacked only $479 of being $1,000,000. Among the items which go to make up the gross income of the Company for the year, the sum of $127,- 561 should in all fairness be also included, which, as shown in the Company's report, consists of ‘‘cash $104,000, and notes $23,- 561, other than premiums, received from other companies for assuming or insuring their risks.” Having thus dealt with the income, we turn to the disbursements and expenses for the year. The total miscel- laneous expenses of the Company for the year, as shown by the report of the Super- intendent, amounted to $230,080, the bal- ance of the disbursement account being made up of the sum of $004,985 paid to policy holders, The total disbursements during the year deducted from $4,980,430, the balance of net or ledger assets on De- cember 31st, 1876, leaves a total balance in favor of the Company at that date of $4,- 139,363.99, We leave our readers to make their own conclusions in the premises.
