pared TO issue Policies of Insurance on the

tages OF Life assurances too universally ac-
knowedged to require minute detail OF the benefits
resulting thereom; is enough to say that all persons
who derive their incomes support from public pri
vste situations, mechanical professional mercantile
pursuits should avail themselves of its advantages in
order to secure liberal support to those who are de-
pendant their exertiors. The rates of insurance
are as favorable as those of any similar institution in
