However well prepared man may bein aspif-
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 forebodings to
that finale Of his earthly career which is deprive
his fond wife and helpless chid-enof 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 yagrants roaming the
friendless, thorny paths Of public charityi Yet,
alas how many do 1t I! when Q small present ont
lay would gild their troublous road with ease and
der, areyou not liable to this sad death.b reec
ton of the unseen trials you bequeath those yon
leave behind, by neglecting this cheap protection
which we now urge upon your II your mind
were easy on this subject; fyou 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- pur-
sue your avocation with mental feomposure and
zeal. We do not mean to assert that money can all
the place of a fond father, yet we do assert what
you knoD TO be trae-money will prove their best
earthly friend when you are gone; and you can
leave them this certain friend now while you are
living. ...l,.g... ,,u.!a 9oiaiii

gainst uncertain n,is sort,es to your property, and
yet neglect certain euerat which toiU and must
come to your body. Is this oonsiste,,t wisdom and
prudence9 We admit and assert the prudence Of
sity for the last. Ask yourself the question, are
you doing right to neglect this ortunity to pro-
vide effectually for your family in case Of your
death, while you have it in your power? And
chance death is after you'll When once his arug-
ged scythe shall clip the brittle thread of the
CHASTITY panorama Of want and suffering will be o.
pened to the signing hearts you took care Of while
you uYeQ. hememDer only Wnlle In nealtl--De-
fore age with attendant diseases come upon you
before you begin to loiter in sad sickness on the
verge Of the grave-only while living mentally
and physically living can you obtain Life Insn-
rance Policy. Life is vast battle-fe feld-death is
always the final victor land while we do not urge
this process will disarm him Of his sting, for reh-
gion 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 Of pover-
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 so.i 10 was kind
and good to all, and supposed that all would be
kind and good to us; but alas, how mistakenl He
provided well for us while living; but II he had
insured his life, its benefits would have continued
to us now" Do not say this is fancy sketch, for
many such o scene has really existed.
