THADDKUs STEVENS TAKEN HoME.-Amid
the tolling of bells and the solemn discharge
of minute guns, Thaddeus Stevens was borne
from the Capital to Lancaster city. The
people, they with whom every action of his
life was in harmony, turned out en- masse to
honor him, and by uncovered heads and
silence proved how deeply they regretted his
loss. 1t is such testimonial that proves
that one mans life has not been in vain. 1t
il these lamentations of a great people, the

The Advantages of life Insurance for
Rich and Poor.

The Advantages of life Insurance for
Rich and Poor.
THE recent formation of several important new
life insurance companies, of which the Ma
tional is the most prominent, forms another in
dication of the increasing interest in enter
prises of this character. We have heard that,
in round numbers, there are now about three
hundred thousand persons insured in the
United States, about twenty thousand of whom
consist of citizens of Pennsylvania. Large as
is this aggregate, it is evident that the busi-
ness is still only in its infancy, and we should
not be at all astonished if, before the present
generation passes away, more policies would
be secured by citizens of this State alone than
are now held in the entire Union.
Life insurance commends itself alike to the
rich and the poor. The struggling head of
family, whose annual receipts are nearly equal
to his expenditures, cannot look forward with
hope or confidence to period at which he can
secure competence. At any moment his
death may suddenly deprive those dependent
upon him of their only means of support, aud
he has only one sure method of guarding
against the calamity which perpetually
threatens those who are dearer than life itself.
A little extra effort, or extra economy, will
always enable him to secure sum sufficient to
pay the premium upon policy large enough
to ward from his wife and children the worst
evils of hopeless poverty. When we consider
how many thousands OF persons could easily
gain the security for the future, which is 80
essential to their own m entail satisfaction, and
to the safety of their families, it is rather sim
gular that the present number Of life insurance
policies in this State is not numbered by hun
thousand policies have already been issued.
To the rich, life insurance is scarcely less
important than to the poor. The hazards and
complications OF business enterprises are
especially numerous and dangerous in the
United States. Men engaged in extensive
transactions, and enjoying large income, are
rarely free from numerous obligations and
entanglements. II they die suddenly, the
resources which, under their skilful manage
ment, prove highly productive, may suddenly
cease to yield single dollar Of current reve-
nue.. A thousand accidents may retard the
settlement of their estates, and fraud
or folly may greatly reduce or to-
tally destroy their value. A life
insurance policy, however, can easily be re-
leased from all such entanglements, and the
comfort of a wife or children can, by the aid of
an investment of this description, be rendered
absolutely secure. Many of the most success
full and shrewd business men of the country
testify their practical appreciation of the ad-
vantages Of life insurance for the reasons we
have given, and if the subject was carefully
considered by this active and useful class of
the community, we have no doubt that they
would, with scarcely single exception, imi-
tate the numerous examples to which we have
referred.

"ECtre79ae Case" Cured.


Sir: take great pleasure In stating that. after
having suffered from dyspepsia for about fifteen
years, at some periods much more than others, L
have been entirely cured by the use of Goes Dys-
pepsia Cure. My friends know that oflate years my
case has been an extreme one. had great suffering
from eating any kind Of food, and on an average
would vomit a.out one third of my meals in a sour
iDdgestibe mass. When the severe attacks would
come, would lose all strength and be utterly help
less Some OF the attacks would be severe that for
days together would not retain anything on my
stomach, save little dry toast and tea. For yeai
knew not what it was to pass five consecutive hours
without intense pain. From the time took the first
dose OF this medicine ceased vomiting, gradually
all soreness passed away and flesh and strength re-
turnfd d, and ever since have been able to eat any
kind OF food set upon the table. SIX months have
now passed without any symptoms of the return of
the disease. My case was considered BY all, even
physicians, so marvellous that time it was fear
ed it might be fictitious: but 1 am now so well con-
vinced, that have been not merely relieved, but
permanently cured, that can conscientiousy re-
commend Goes Dyspepsia Cure to all victims Of dys-
pepsia.
