Life Insurance.

Life Insurancehaving originated in the devel-
opment of mathematical doctrines of chances,
has been supposed to have some affinity to
gambling. But the analogy is shallow. 1t
may more justly be considered method of
delivering human life from the tyranny of
chance. In society, as it is, man whose pro-
ductive energy is equivalent, while he lives,
to the income of handsome fortune, runs a
chance of leaving his wife and children to that
last intoerable species ofpoverty which aggra.
