THE OBJECT
OF this Company is to insure LHE-not indeed
to prolong life.but by paying acertain sum to the
continue the exerions, investments and benefits
terminated.
However well prepared man may be in aspir-
itual point Of view to meet the "king 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 furniahed.
he shudders as his mental gaze looks within the
gloomy portals Of the grave and leaves behind
those whom he loved, as yagTants roaming fa the

lay would gid their troublous road with ease and
comfort, ifspent in 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 If your mind
were easy on this subject; II you could feel when
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 composnre and
zeal We do not mean to assert that money can till
the place Of fond father, yet we do assert, what
you knop TO be tsue-money will prove their best
earthly friend when you are gone; and you can
leave them this certain friend now while you are
living. g,- 80

Business men are considered rather improvident
who do not insure their goods and houses against
fire. Now, your house may never be burned-it

some day. You argue It is prudent to insure q;
gainst uncertain isfortunes to your property and
yet neglect certain eve'.t which toiu 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 neeea-
suy for the last, Ask yourself the question, are
you doing right to neglect this opportunity topro-
vide efectually for your family In case Of your
death, while you haye it in your powerf And
chance-death is after you! When once his 4rug-
ged scythe shalt 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 graye-oniy while liying-mentally
and physically living can you obtain Life Insn-
always the final victor-and while we do not urge
this process will dsarm him Of his sting, Cor rei-
gion only can do that) yet it will soothe your heav-
ing bosom to know you have provided for your
your 1ife insured ynn isarna the stips' power
ty and want to them. We imagine how we hear
the wall of suffering from some lone widow, while
she examines the merits Of this business, as her
cry for bread: "Oh that my husband had insur-
ed his life fhe 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
provided well for us while living; but II he had
insured his ife its benefits would have continued
to us now" Do not say this ia fancy sketch, for
many such scene has really existed: ,ns
