VNHE Subscriber respectfully informs the public
Il generally that he has accepted the Agency of
policies of LIFE INSURANCE.. The soivency ,n
Of the Company is certified to by the Court Off
GERS of Nelson county, Virginia, and is commend
.o ed to those who desire to support I HSms 1nst-
At the store Of j. & E. B. Stowe.
THE OBJECT
Of this Company is to insure LIFE-not indeed
to prolong lfe-but by paying certain sum to the
benefciaries of a policy when you die-thereby to
continue the exertions, Investments and benefits
Of your life to your dependents after your life is
terminated.
However well prepared man may be in aspir-
itual point of view to meet the king of terrors,"
if he be possessed ofa thoughtful mind and feel
ing heart, he can but look with sad forebodngs to
that finale of his earthly career which is to deprive
his fond wife and helpless children of that support
and fostering care which his arm has furnished.
He shudders as his mental gaze looks within the
gloomy portals of the grave and leaves behind
those whom he loved, as vagrants roaming the
friendless, thorny paths Of public charity! Yet,
alas how many do 1t I! when q small present out
tay would gild their troublous road with ease and
comfort, ifspent in Life Insurance Policy. Rea-
der you not liable to this sad death bed refec
leave behind, by neglecting this cheap protection.
which we now urge upon your II your mind
were easy on this subject; II you could feel when
you "shutfle off this mortal coil" your family
carking anxiety that fills every worthy mind at
such fears: you would be better prepared to pur-
sue your avocation with mental composure and
ZEAL We do not mean to assert that money can fill
you k,,oto to be t,ue-money will prove their best
earthly friend when you are gone; and you can
leave them this certain friend now while you are
living.
Can you-will you refuse it9
Business men are considered rather improvident
who do not insure their goods and houses against
f1re. NOW, your house may neUer be burned-it
n,Gy stand hundred years but your life cannot
some day. You argue 1t is prudent to insure a
gainst uncertain n,iyortunes to your property and
yet neglect a certain euent which toiU and must
come to your body: Is this consistent vision and
prudence3 We admit and assert the prudence Of
the first but assert the greater wisdom and neces-
sity for the last. Ask yourself the question, are
you doing right to neglect this opportunity to pro-
vide effectually for your family in case Of your
death, while you have it in your powerf And
bear in mind now, this moment may be your last
chance-death is after you! When once his "rug-
ged scythe shall clip the brittle thread Of ife the
CHASTITY panorama Of want and suffering will be o.
you lived. Remember only while in heasth-be-
fore age, with attendant diseases come upon you
before you begin to loiter in sad sickness on the
verge Of the grave-onl. while living g-mentally
rance Policy. Life Is vast battle -field-death is
always the final victor-and while we do not urge
this process will disarm him Of his sting, (or re1i-
gon only can do tha yet it will soothe your heav-
ing bosom to know you, have provided for your
family before that trying hour comes. By having
your life insured you "disarm the sting' of power
ty and want to them. We imagine now we hear
the wall of suffering from some lone widow, while
she examines the merits Of this business, as her
shivering group stand around her scanty fire and
cry for bread: "Oh! that my husband had insur-
ed his life If he could have foreseen my lamen-
table state he would have done 30. He was kind
and good to all, and supposed that all would be
kind and good to us; but alas how mistaken! He
provided well for us while living; but If he had
insured his life, its benefits would have continued
to us now." Do not say this is fancy sketch, for
many such scene has really existed.
