II he BE possessed ofa thoughtful mind and feel
ing heart, he can but look with sad forebodngs to
that finale of his earthly career which s to deprive
his fond wife and helpless children 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,
alas how many do 1t u when sr,du present out

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 q hundred years but your life cannot
last 30 long-your clamp ofIfen must burn out
some day. You argue It Is prudent to insure a.
gainst uncertain nisfortanes to your property and
yet neglect certain euent which tulL and must
come to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and
prudencef We admit and assert the prudence Of
the first, but assert the greater wisdom and aeces
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 1t In your power? And
bear In mind this moment may be your last

CHASTITY panorama Of want and suffering will be o.
pened to the signing hearts you took of while
you lived. Remember only while in health-be-

verge Of the grave-only while fundamentally
and physically living-can you obtain Life Insu-
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 re-
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" 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
shiyering 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
and good to all, and supposed that all would be
kind and good to us ; but alas, how mistaken! He
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.
