D .. At the store Of j. q e. B. Stowe.
THE OBJECT .r
OF this Company Is to insure LIFE-not indeed

benefciaries of q policy when you die-thereby to
continue the exertions, Investments and benefits
of your life to your dependents, after your life Is
terminated. .:s . .ra e.1 %.
However well prepared man may bein aspir-
tual point Of view to meet the "king Of terrors,"
if he be possessed ofa thoughtful mind anu 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.
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
bew 5aoEn 9 pueG
lay would gild their troublous road with ease and
comfort if spent in Life Insurance Policy. Rea-
der you not liable to this sad death-bed refec-
ton of the unseen trials you bequeath those you
which we now urge, upon your If your mind
were easy on this subject; II you could feel when
you "shuff1e off this mortal coil' your family
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 pur-
sue your avocation with mental composure and
zeal. We do not mean to assert thatmoney can fill
the place of fond father, yet we do assert, what
you k,.oe to be t'7te-money will prove their best
earthly friend when you are gone; and you can
leave them this certain friend now while you are
living. ..a.. ..r .... ~ '.s...r
Can you-will you refuse it3
Business men are considered rather improVident
who do not insure their goods and houses against
fire. Now, your house may neuer be burned-it
may stand hundred years but your life cannot
last so long--your clamp Of life" must burn out
gainst uncertain mis7ortunes to your property and
yet neglect certain event which a0iu and must
come to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and
prudence? We admit and assert the prudence Of
the first but assert the greater wisdom and neces-
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'll When once his "rug-
ged scythe shall clip the brittle thread Of life 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
verge of the grave-only while iving-msntally
and physically lying-can you obtain Life 1nsu-
rance Policy. Life is vast battle feld-death Is
always the final victor-and while we do not urge
this process will disarm him of his sting for rel
gion only can do that 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 ofpoyer-
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 Hhe could have foreseen my lamen-
table state he would have done So He was kind
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. So:
