THE OBJECT
Of this Company is to insure L1FE-not indeed
to prolong life-but by paying certain sum to the
continue the exertions, Investments and benefits
of your life to your dependents, after your Life Is
terminated. '"'' g,
However well prepared man may be in Aspir-
itual point of view to meet tho "king Of terrors,
if he be possessed ofa thoughtful mind and feel
ing heart, he can but look with sad forebodings 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.
Ho 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 :! when small present out
lay would gild their troublous road with ease and
comfort, if spent in Life Insurance Policy. Rea-
der are you not liable to this sad deathbed refec-
ton Of the unseen trials you bequeath those you
leave behind, by neglccting this cheap protection
which we now urge upon your If your mind
were easy on this subject; f you could feel when
were provided for, you would be relieved of the
carking anxiety that fills every worthy mind at
such fears: you would be better prepared to ppr-
sue your avocation with mental composure and
zeal. We do not mean to assert that money can fill
the place of fond father, yet we do assert, what
you k1,oao 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. ..

Business men are considered rather rimprovident
who do not insure their goods and houses against
fire. Now, your house may neuer be burned-it
may stand a hundred years but your life cannot
last so long--your clamp Of life" must burn out
some day. You argue 1t is prudent to insure a.
yet neglect d certain event which piu and must
come to your body Is this constituent wisdom and
prudencef We admit and assert the prudence OF
the first but assert the greater wisdom and neees-
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 power3 And
bear in mind-now, this moment may be your last
chance-death is after you'll When once his rug
ged scythe shall clip the brittle thread Of the
ghastly panorama Of want and suffering will be O.
pened to the signing hearts you took care Of while
YOU lived. Remember only while in health-be-
fore age, with attendant diseases come upon you
before you begin to loiter IN sad sickness on the
and physically living-can you obtain a Life Insu.
rance Policy. Life is vast battlefield death Is
always the final victor-and while we do not urge
this process will disarm him Of his sting, or reh
gon only can do that) yet 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 ofpover-
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 fhe could have foreseen my lamen.
table state he would have done so. He was kind
and good to all, and supposed that all would be
kind and good to US but alas, bow mistaken! he
provided well for rs 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 sucha scene has really existed. {
