THE OBJECT
OF this Company Is to insure LIPE-not indeed
to prolong life-but by paying certain sum to the
benefciaries Of policy when you die-thereby to
continue the exertions, investments and benefits
Of your life to your dependents, after yourlif is
terminated. '..,s 0.-
However we'll prepared man may be in aspir.
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 s 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 yagrants roaming the
frendless, thorny paths Of public charity! Yet
alas how many do it n when small present out.
lay would gild their troublous road with ease and
comfort, ifspent in a Life Insurance Policy. Rea.
ton of the unseen trials you bequeath those you
leave behind, by neglecting this cheap protection
which we now urge upon your II your mind
were easy on this subject; If you could feel when
you "shuf1e off this mortal coir' your family
were provided for, you would be relieved Of the
carking anxiety that fills every worthy mind a,
such fears: YOU would be better prepared to pur-
sue your avocatioh with mental composure and
zeal. We do not mean to assert that money can fil
the place Of fond father, yet we do assert, what
yo,s kno,v to be t,7.e-money will prove their oes
earthly friend when you are gone; and you car
leave them this certain friend now while You are
living. .............
Can you-will you refuse It?
Business men are considered rather improviden,
who do not insure their goods and houses against
fire. Now, your house may neper be burned|t
may stand hundred years but your Life cannot
last SO long-your clamp Of life" must burn out
some day. You argue 1t is prudent to insure a.
gainst uncertain naifortunes to your property and
yet neglect a certain event which Dtu and mus
come to- your body. Is this consistent wisdom and
prudence? We admit and assert the prudence o
the first, but assert the greater wisdom and neces
sity for the last. Ask yourself the question, art
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 power7 And
bear in mind-now, this moment may be your last
chance-death is after youi 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 living-mentally
and physically living-can you obtain a 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, (or rei-
gion only can do that yet it will soothe your heav-

the wall of suffering from some lone widow, while
she examines the merits of this business, as heI

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, fol
many such scene has really existed.
