THE OBJECT .....-
or this Company is to insure LIFE-not indeed
to prolong life-but by paying certain sum to the

Of your life to your dependents, after your life is
terminated.
However well prepared man may be in aspir-
itual point ofview to meet the liking Of terrors,"
II 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.
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,
lay would gld their troublous road with ease and
comfort, II spent In q Life Insurance Policy. Rea-
der, are you not liable to this sad death bed reec-
ton of the unseen trials you bequeath those you
leave behind. bynegiecting this ehsep protection,
were easy on this subject; IL you could feel when
you ''shuff1e off this mortal coiP' your family
were provided for, you would be relieved Of the
such fears: you would be better prepared to pur-
sue your avocation with mental composure and
zeal. Wed not mean to assert that money can fill
the place Of fond father, yet we do assert, what
you knop 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. - -, - 't" -

Business men are considered rather inproyident
who do not insure their goods and houses against
fire.' Now, your house may never be burned-it
,nay stand hundred years but your Life cannot
last 50 longIyour lamp Of Life ;" must burn out
gainst ancertain fortunes toyour property, and
yet neglect certain eoent which toill and must
come to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and
the first but assert the greater wisdom and ,seces-
SHY for the last Ask yourself the question, are
you doing right to neglect this opportunity to pro-
vide efectually for your family in case of your
DEATH while you have 1t in your powerf And
bear in mind-now; this moment may be your last
chance-death Is after you l.! When once Els Hrue-
ged scythe shall clip the brittle thread Of lie, the
ghastly panorama Of want and suffering will be o.
you lived. Remember fonfy while In health h-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 living-mentally
rance Policy. Life Is q vast -feld-death Ia
always the final yictor-and while we do not urge
this process will disarm him Of his sting or rel-
gion only can do that) yet it viii soothe your heay-
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 1! If he could have foreseen my lamen-
table state he would have done go. 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" onot say this is fancy sketch, for
many such scene has really existed. -
