The old fair grounds, in which the en- campment will ba held, will be improved and enlarged. Work on tne extension and the improvement of the grounds will commence the first of next weeis. On account of the delay occasioned by the railway association’ in making their reduced schedules of rates for the encampment, the ofticers of the drill association huve con- cluged to hold their entries opon until June 1, at which time they will close, instead ot May 1 as originally contemplated.

T find no fauly with death but its ab- ruptness,” was the expression of an Inglish literary colebrity. Truly there’s the rub. However men may come to look upon death, whother as a kindly fricnd whose nd will lead to perpetual peace or an angel of light who will conduct to a land of supernal beatitudes, that element remains to disturb the serenity of the fuith, Man is always 1n the midst of some incom- pleted task; the dependent oncs are ever clinging to his providence. These conditions, like an enchanter’s wand, perpetually invoke the remembrance that death is liable to appear abruptly at any moment, totake him from his un- finished work and from those who still veed his fostering -eare. ~ What wonder then that an elsewise complacent con- templation of the change from mortality to immortality sheuld be disturbed by the consciousnessof this *“‘abruptness,” If there i3 anything that can mitigate this unsatisfactory sense of the unavoid- able and bring the mind 1nto a state of epose it must belife insurance, for the insurant knows that whatever else death may be able toesvop of his life worl, his policy makes sure that his providence for his family will not be found in the sad category.
