LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF VIRGINIA

YNHE Subscriber respectfully informs the public
Il generally that he has accepted the Agency OF
the above Company, and Is now prepared to issue
policies OF LIFE lNsuRANCE. The % solveney eng
GERS of Nelson county, Virginia, and Is commend
ed to those who desire to support Home lnsti-
tuition. J. A. MCLEAN,

THE OBJECT
OF this Company is to insure LIFE-not indeed
to prolong life-but by paying certain sum to the
beneficiaries of policy when you die-thereby to
continue the exertions, Investments and benefits
OF your life to your dependents, after your life Is
terminated. ...l.. ...-
However well prepared man may be in aspir-
itual point Of view to meet the skiing 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 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
friendless, thorny paths Of public charity! Yet,
alas how many do 1t !! when small present out
lay would gild their troublous road with ease and
comfort ifspent in Life Insurance Policy. Rea-
der are you not liable to this sad death refec-
ton Of the unseen trials you bequeath those you
leave behind, by neglectng this cheap protection,
which we now urge upon you? If your mind
were easy on this subject; II you could feel when
YOU Ou tillS uOEkb your L14uuy
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 composure and
zeal. We do not mean to assert that money can fill
the place Of fond father, yet we do assert, what
you k1,o1o to be t'7e-money will prove their best
earthly friend when you are gone; and you can
leave them this certain friend now while you are
living.
Can you-will you refuse it,
Business men are considered rather rimprovident
who do not insure their goods and houses against
fire.. Now, your house may never be burned-it
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 naijortunes to your property, and
yet neglect a certain epent which mill and must
come to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and
prudence? We admit and assert the prudence OF
the first, but assert the greater wisdom and neees-
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
chance-death is after you! When once his "rug-
ged scythe shall clip the brittle thread of ife" the
CHASTITY 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 attle-feld-death is
always the final victor-and while we do not urge
this process will disarm him Of his sting (or rei-
gon only 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
shivering group stand around her scanty fire and
cry for bread = "Oh! that my husband had insur.
ed his life Ifhe could have foreseen my lamen-
table state he would have done 30. 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" Do not say this is fancy sketch, fol-
many such scene has really existed.
