GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE. Sir,I have the honour to announce myself as a candidate for a seat on the Central Board of the Government Life Insurance Association. For several years I had a>hare in the working of a profitably conducted Life Insurance Company in London, and this experience, combined with my extensive business connection throughout New Zealand as Managing Director of J. Kitchen & Sons' Manufacturing Company, would, if I am elected, be at your service to advance the interests of the Association. Physical disability prevents my becoming a Policy-holder, but this would be a strong incentive to further such a beneficent institution as that of Life Insurance. Soliciting your vote and confidence if a Policy-holder, and your kindly influence if not Insured, ».., . I am, Yours respectfully, JOSEPH KITCHEN. Wellington, December 4th, 1884.

SELECTED POETRY. j DON'T BE IN A HURRY. Don't bo in a hurry to answer yes or no; Nothing's lost by being reasonably slow. In a hasty moment you may give consent. And through years of torment loisurely repont» If a lover seoks you to become his wife, . Happiness or misery may be yours for Ufo ; Don t bo in a hurry your feelings to confess, But think the matter over before you answer yes. Should one nuk forgiveness fora Brave offence, Honest teara betraying earnest penitence. Pity and console bim and his fears allay. And don't be in a hurry to drive tho child away. Hurry brings us worry, worry wears us out. Easygoing people know what thoy're about. Heedless haste will bring us surely to the ditoh. And trouble overwhelm us if we hurry to be rich. I Don't be in a hurry to throw yourself away; B/ the side of wisdom for a whilo delay, Make your life worth llvln?, nobly act your part: And don t bo in a hurry to spoil it at the start. Don't bo In a hurry to spoak an angry word; Don't bo in a hurry to spread the talo you've heard. Don't bo in a hurry with i.vil ones to go; And don't bo in a hurry u> answer yos or no.

Would I were lying In a Hold of clover, Of clover cool and soft, and soCfami sweet, With dusky clouds in deep skies hanging over", And scented silence at my head and feet. Just for one hour to slip the leash of Worry, In eager haste, from Thought's impatient neck. And watch it oourslng. in its heedless hurry Disdaining Wisdom a call or Duty's beok. Ah 1 it were sweot, where clover clumps are meeting i And daisies hiding, so to hide and rest; No sound except my own heart's sturdy beating, Rocking itself to sleep within my breast' Just to lio there, filled with tho deeper breathing That comes of listening to a wild bird's song I Our souls require at tinios this full unsheathing— All swords will rust if soabbard-kopt too long! And lam ttrod—ao tired of rigid duty. ' So tired of all my tired hands find to do! I yearn, I faint for some of life's freo boauty. Its loose beads with no etrait string running through 1 Ay, laugh, if laugh you will at my crude speech; But women sometimes die of such a greed. Die for the small joys hold beyond their reach, And the assurance they have all they nood I — Mary Ashbu Towiisend, VILLAGE WEDDING BELL 3. Ring on, ring on, ye wedding bells! There's a dutr reßts with you; The joy you make is a joy that tolls Of hem-Is that are brave and true. The times are hard for simple folk, Thoy'ru oft in stormy weather; But a man and wife mustpull through life, And breast the waves together. One side of life is dark as nijlit; The other is clear as day.'' ' In doing right you keep to the light, And the dark will pass away. Though times bo hard (or simple folk, And we mourn tho ills of fate, The rule for man is, do what he can, He must learn to work and wait. Behind the clouds a silver light, A joy for tho faithful heart. Then plight your troth by a solemn oath To bo true till death do part. It's not in vain the wedding bells King joy on the wedding day; Though the battle's nigh, yet hopes are nigh, And hearts are merry and gay. Ring on, ring on, ye wedding be'ls! There's a duty rests with you; The joy you make is a joy that tells Of hearts that aro brave and true. John Hunt. DECLINE OF MAN—jr.™...> jv««ku«i .fyWt
