Hints on Life Insurance.
The sooner your life is insured the lees il
will cost you. Esery y added to your life
increases the amount o: the premium The
longer your life is insnr ed. the greater is the
evidence given of unselfist regard for the vel.
fare of your friends.
II your health. bs good. .you can at once ob.
tain ins-raLcs Postpone the matter and a
short time may PROSTATE you with sickness
Then it wi be too late to secure the object 80
devoutly desired. In matters pertaining to
insuranne it may be said with eci pba sis. dslays
are dangerous.
We ere only snre Of the presert. Life ;e
uncertain-death is sure. In the language Of
the poet preacher OF England
"The merry, merry lark, up and singing,
And the hare was out and feeding ky the lea,
The merry, merry bells, below were ringing,
When my child's laugh rang through me-
snow tho hare is shared AMI dead beside the snow
yard,
And the lark beside the dreary winter sea,
And my darling in her cradle in the CHI urch yard,
Waiteth till the bells bring ms.''
Do you not indulge in some habit or luxury
that can be easily dispensed with-and can
you not appropriate the money wasted in that
way to the better purpose Of life insurance?
We find that the bee, ths ant, and many
other creatures make provisions for the future
and store away supplies for their off.pring
Shall we be so blind as not to take the hint SO
plainly given us in the lessons OF nature.
