RESISTING PROVIDENCE.

IS T IFE INSURANCE enables man to
11 put himself in harmony with Di-
vine Providence. Providence has brought
the institution into being TO bless the
race. He who refuses it, distrusts and
despises Providence and invites its ven
geance upon himself and his household.
Wo know OF no fallacy 30 transparent, no
delnsion moro groundless, than that
which makes the practice of Life Insurance
appear as an attempt to controvert the
Divine will.' n Irl.tIs
Thousands of widows and orphans live
to attest the divine benefcence of LIFE
INSURANCE. Without it's protecting
ngis, many of them would, to-day, be beg.
gars upon the streets, or occupants of
poor-houses and penitentiaries. No man
can foretell what will be his circumstances
at the time of his death. The rich man of
to-day dies the pauper OF tomorrow, and
the family, deHcately reared, become tho
unprepared victims Of dire Want, with her
train of countless evils. Such O. result is
impossible, with policy OF Life Insurance.
1t, indeed, offers he only absolutely safe
investment which can be made for the
benefit of ones family and of his own old
age. AL other investments may result in
loss or ruin. II all would insure, who can
calculate the immense suffering and crime
which the world would be spared!

A COOP JoKE.-A frst-rate joke
was related to us yesterday, emf
nently characteristic of the people
among whom it occurred.
John Campbell, Of Hopkinsville,
Kentucky, who had been great
rebel. and has not changed much, it
is presumed, took the benefit of the
bankruptcy law, by which process he
paid OF debt of $500 that he owed
to a neighbor and fellow rebel named
Mack Lynch. Campbell, to retrieve
his fallen fortunes, concluded to run
for the Office Of Circuit Judge, and
with that view proceeded to canvass
the district preparatory to the nomi-
mating convention.
In true Democratic style he was
very bitter in his denunciations Of
Congress, and every law passed by
that body. Every law, he said, pass
ed by Congress was most villainous
and abominable in every detail and
particular. His friend Mack Lynch,
learning the character of his speeches,
was Disguised at the ingratitude of
the man, and although fellow Dem
ocrat, determined at once to expose
his perfdy.
Meeting him at his next appoint
ment, he he'd up before the gaze of
the indignant but amused multitude,
the man who had wiped out his debts
by taking advantage of the very laws
that he had denounced. That fixed
Campbell's flint. He did not get a
single vote from Christian County in
the convention.
Lynch swore that man should
not avail himself of the benefits OF
the laws of Congress. and then de-
nounee and villify them. 1t is con
sidered good joke by the friends Of
both parties
