Life Insurance.

Our readers will fitF an ad vertse,nent in
this issue of the Etna Life Insurance Com
pany. Statistics prove the Etna Company
to be one of the most successful Companies
i'll the United States. Data might be given,
showing the success and entire security of
the Company but for this our readers are
referred to the advertisement, in another
column. The one important point to be
considered is the sure provision against
want to the families of those who invest a
small amount in a Life Insurance Company
AT the death Of the head of a family, having
his life insured, his heirs come in immediate
possession of a sum Of money, which in
many instances has been the means of pac.
img an otherwise helpless family in comfort
able circumstances, and driving pinchng
want from the household.
A great deal might be said on this head
which will suggest itself to every thoughtful
mind. To provide against future want and
insure their comfort and education is the
duty of every head of family. While life
and health are enjoyed he may be able to
insure them every necessity and comfort ;
leaving small surplus perhaps to lay by for
future want; but life is very uncertain, and
the husband may be cut off in his prime,
leaving family of helpless children cast
upon the world, with but slender means of
support, accumulated for their future main
tenance and education. To prevent this
great calamity, the philanthropic institution
of Life insurance was invented, and its in.
calcuable benefits are fast extending as one
of the most bencf1icient institutions of an
advancing civilization.
Maternal affection should move every wife
who behods helpless family around her
looking to her for support, to urge the pro.
priety upon her husband while in his health
and prime, of making the sure provision of
y Life Insurance against the hazards of
death, that under no circumstance shall she
run the risk of being left alone with but,
perhaps, scanty provision for the support of
herself and children. A Life Insurance is
nail in sure place.

BAD WHIsKEY.-This article is said

DAD "HISKEY.-IhiS article is said
to be quite abundant in Elkton and doing its
work thoroughly. 1t has been said to be
''slow and sure,n but when it has GOOD
chance it is not so very slow. There was a
time when whiskey could be had for twelve
and half cents per quart, but now it is
from one to two dollars per quart; yet there
is an active demand and constant adulter-
alton of everything that is spurious and pes.
tilent,-hence it kills more rapidly now than
formerly. The appearance of drinking men
is very different now from what it was twenty
years ago. Then the face of the drinker was
of fiery red; now it has more of dark
and purple color, with greater determine.
ton to the head. An acute observer cannot
fail to detect the appearance of one who is
tippling, even moderately, of the modern
article.
Those who acquire fondness for strong
drink, seldom reform. The appetite grows
by what it feeds upon, and as it becomes
stronger, the power OF resistance becomes
weaker.
No good thing comes of strong drink
