LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY.

i"HE progress of Life Insurance IN the
l. United States proves this great CROWN
| ing triumph of modern science and philan-
throphy to be one of the marvellous features
of our social economy.
The wisdom of all ages has devised nothing
that onpares with it. 1t is so fnanlfestly
good, that it is difficult to see how an intelli-
gent man, with proper concern for the COM
fort and protection of his family, can fail to
avail himself of its benefits.
Life Insurance leaves ready money to settle
estates to advantage. 1t will prevent sac
r6ce of property if man die in debt. 1t is
subject to no tax during life, nor Orphans
Court expenses after death. 1t is exempt by
law from debt. 1t is rapidly becoming rule
that all men of just attributes insure.
Our Maryland Company commends itself
to the confidence and patronage of our people
| in all parts of the State. Its directors are
men of known integrity and ability, to whom
the public may look with confidence for a just
and careful supervision Of its affairs. Thrust
| be clear to every thinking mind that, if we
State and people Individually, we must build
up our institutions and keep our capital at
home.
| Had the five million dollars sent out of the
State annually for insurance been invested
at home, it would have told favorably upon
our own wealth and commerce. This is enl-
phatically oar company-gotten up by oul
best merchants to afford the opportunity fol
all to insure without sending the money out
of our own State. The affairs of the compa.
ny are managed with economy. For two
years and a-half the President received nc
compensation for bis services
| Such has been our marked success that we
were able after the second year to declare and
pay in cash as large dividend as the oldes
and largest company in the. United States
The Company feel greatly encouraged by the
patronage and cooperation they have receiv'
ed, and solicits a continuance of the same
Self-respect, State pride and interest, combine
to make this the company for US.
| Now, dear sirs, in view of all the advanta'
ges of Life Insurance as an investment-tht
uncertainty of life-the strong claims of wifi
and children upon husband and father-is i
not the moral duty of every man to pu
something in form that will prevent wan
and distress, or trouble on the part of those h
loves?
By all means insure, and do it at once il

Here it will be in place to relate that,

Mr.. Clark was engaged as helper in the

Ex-Governor Allen Trimble. His fatal
malady was typhoid pneumonia. He was
a young man of brilliant parts, and at the
time of his ministry one of the most elo-
quent diYines in the M. e. Church. But
an unfortunate appetite for strong drink
psralyzed his great powers and compelled
him to abandon his sacred Office. By sheer
force of resolution he overcame the temp
tation to indulgence. and at the time of his
death was under treatment for the restora-
ton of his shattered constitution. His life
is lesson and q warning.

A Chicago special to the Cincinnati Chron-

CoLFAx enthusiasm in that city-hitherto

correspondent is, however, compelled to
admit that the enthusiasm as yet is on the
side of the Democrats. That is, they have
the bulge on the Republicans. 1t would
seem, then, that there are some places
where, according to Republican admissions,
enthusiasm prevails in the Democratic
party. Ii the enthusiasm, in the first in
