LIFE INSURANCE AND BANKING.
The New National Life.


is the thing to be done?'' is the first
question IF yes, then "How to do it?' is
the next. To do the right thing is always
well; but to do the right thing, at the right
time and in the very best right
way, is better. We talk of insuring cur
lives, but we don't The great mystery of
life-its beginning and its ending
never be less a mystery than it IS now.
But we insure not our lives, but our fortunes
no uncertain years, but certain naonel
We are well and prosperous to-day, but
who knows of tomorrow? Wife and little
ones are happy in abundance while we live;
but when the Que great grief comes to
them, let us not make it doubly bitter by
adding poverty to desolation. What duty
it is; and how delightful, to save something
of our earnings or to spare something more
of our abundance to insure comfort aud
home to the loved ones. 1t is not only in
surance, but it is inrestment-i is banking;
it is lending money, year by year, and little
by little, on bond and mortgage, that will
roll up handsome principal to be paid to
US when we are old, or to our families to-
morrow, if, perehance, the "silver cord
should be sundered or the bowl be broken
at the fountain" Who wouldn't be it?
There is 20 young man of twenty one who
cannot spare s13,25 year to secure 81 600,
and no father Of thirty who could SO wisely
appropriate $l65, 50 year to secure $I0,-
600 to those to whom the accidents Of bust
ness may leave nothing else. But Brother
Forethought, at thirty Il am making
money now, but at fifty-fve 1 may be on
the shady side of fortune as well as years,
and $4,000 then win give me hand
some farm and all the independence Of
millionaire What will cost? Why, an
annual payment Of only $77l 90, which also
secures the so, 600 at any moment the grim
messenger may come But if Brother
Forethought is satisfied that be can provide
for his home and its treasures while he lives,
yet would still have tender care for his
household when no Forcthought can help
them, he may pay s528,00 year, and his
family will receive $4,000 at his decase,
and also return Of ere,y aoHqr Of he
premium that has been paid. This large
sum will be secured without any cost except
the loss of interest on the yearly payments
of s52s.
But continuing in the famiIy-let ustake
another case. Brother Rapid has more
dash, takes larger risks, and sometimes
makes more money than brother Fore
thought, but calmly thinking the matter
over, he admits that his brilliant plans may
come to grief some day,-that his ready
wits may be dulled and age may bring
want and depehdence in addition to an its
other cares He thinks 81, 200 a year would
make him comfortable, and an annual pay
ment of s5l6, for twenty years, secures it,
and also $4,000 besides on the day Of bis
deeease, If it comes tomorrow

CopPERHEADIsM finds itself in an uu-
comfortable position just now. The rebels,
who ruled the roast in the New York Con-
vention and made the platform and nominal
tions, were so elated with their success in
manipulating the cops that they could not
restrain their JOY, but took advantage of
every occasion to proclaim tho true Demo
cratic programme in case of success. Cop
perheadism would not have had the truth
told until the victory was gained and Sey-
mour and Blair safely esconsced in the res
peetivo offices, then sure of success they
would have proclaimed their purpose Of
revolution. But Southern zeal has spoiled
their plans. The eyes of the people have
been opened to the awfulness of the abyss
into which they were about 10 be plunged
They stand aghast at tie disclosure of the
desperate programme. Having had enough
Of Democratic rebellion, they refuse to sup
port the ticket pledged to a new rebellion
and declare their purpose of voting for
Grant and Colfax and Peace.

ERM ONT THUNDER!
LIGHT FROM 1.-THE STAR THAT
NEVER SETS -
THE FIRST GUN FROM NEW EYGLANDl
REPUBLICAN MAJORITY $4,000 !

As we go to press the telegraph informs
us that the election in Vermont on Tuesday
resulted in a grand Republican victory. If
the telegraphic statement Of majority of
$4,000 be correct, and there is no reason to
doubt it, it makes gain over last year Of
10 900, and is the largest majority Vermont
has ever given. InlS64 she gave 9,09s. This
is the first gun. November win roll up a
still more overwhelming majority for Grant
and CoIfax.

HoRATo SEYMOUR proelaims publicly
that he does not now and never did hold
one dollar in United States securities. He
has already expressed himself as sure of
his election. 1t is but fair inference, that
he believes that Democratic victory would
lead to reputation and the ruin of the ma
tional credit 1t would be the legitimate
result Of faithful adherence to the Demo
cratic platform. Seymour is prepared for
sucha result. He is determined to lose
nothing BY it and viii not invest in National
securities. Can the people trust the man
who thus publicly proclaims that ho is pre-
pared, if elected, to make repddiation the
first act In the Democratic programme?

The CRY Of "a white mans government
Tor white men has suddenly ceased among
the Democracy. They are now turning
their attention to elecdoneering for the
negro votes. Kinky hair fat.nose crooked
shins, long heels and nasty smell have all
suddenly vanished and, in the eyes Of the
DemocFacyd down south, negro has become
as good as any body else who has vote
Consistency thou art indeed a jewel.

THE chief anxiety Of the copperheads in
the way Of preparing for the coming elec-
ton, seems to be in regard to naturalization
papers. Senator Wallace is extremely anx-
ious on this score and his -minions in every
county are exhorted to look carefully to the
Naturalization papers. Il is generally IN
derstood that the Luzerne county pro-
gramme is to beattempted on grand scale,
throughout the State. They have no hope
but IN wholesale fraud. Coffee and old oys-
ter cans viii doubtless be in full demand from
now until the elections are over. Coffee
colored naturalizations are to be relied on
to furnish Democratic victories to order.
But coffee wont save them this time.
Burnt whiskey wouldn't save them, their
case is too desperate They are beyond sal
vation, Seymour, Blair and rebellion have
given the party its death blow.

BIDDING HIGH ron THE NEGRO
VOTE


We have never believed IN nor advocated
social equality for the negro, though We
could see no good reason why the political
privileges which our revolutionary fathers
granted him should be taken from him. On
the other hand modern Democracy has
always professed a holy horror of social
equality. for the negro, though neither the
negro nor anybody else ever asked it for
him! The very mention of negro suffrage has
for years had the same effect upon Demo
cratic audience that the red flag has IN a
spanish bull-fght. 1t invariably excited
their rage to the highest pitch. Democracy
has always feared the competition of The
negro element. With what cause now
begins to appear We have always pre-
dicted that the moment the negro had a
vote he would be cajoled and fattered by
the democracy without stint The negro
now has vote in Arkansas and the demo
cracy bid for it in the following style The
hand bills of the Democracy posted in He
lena run as follows:

No slight obstacles are to be permitted to
stand in the way of success. That they VIII
not stop at mere peocadillses in the carrying
out Of their programme is thus distinctly
stated By the Mobile Tribune
.THE GREAT DEMOCRATIC PARTY
WILL RISE IN IT'S MIGHT AND
MAJESTY AND PUEYERIZE AND
PURGE THE CONGRESS, JUST AS
CROMWELL PURGED THE LONG
PARLIAMENT. THE SIGNS OF THE
TIMES ARE PREGNANT WITH RE-
SISTENCE TO RADICAL TYRANNY.
AND THE DAGGER OF BRUTUS MAY
AID in ACCOMPLISHING OUR RE-
DEAIPTION FROM RADICAL RULE,
RUIN AND USURPATI0N. -
Assassination is once more to be called to
their aid in case of need. Whether this is
a threat against Seymour, in case Of his ex-
tremely problematical success, in order that
Blair may be enabled to carry out his revo-
lutionary programme or a warning Of what
Grant and Colfax may be- prepared for,
when they are elected, itmatters not. The
significance Of the iutimation is the same. Ii
is the cool expression of a firm determination
on the part of rebels and their modern
Democratic allies to attempt a new rebellion
and to call to their aid poison, the assassins
dagger, or any other device of the prince
of Darkness that gives hope of success.
Such is the reckless spirit of Southern
rebels. War, bIoodshed, revolution, anarchy
rebellion, the incendiary's, torch, the
assassin dagger each or all viii be delib-
erately resortcd to for the accomplishment
Of their deviIish purposes. And in every
possible way they are aided, abetted and
encouraged by Northern Copperheads.
Seymour and Blair are their candidates who
ifelected are already pledged to employ the
Army and Navy in a new rebellion and now
we have declaration that the assassin S
dagger win again be called into requisition.
What man, who loves his country or wishes
for peace and security, can support such
candidates and such cause? Vote fol
Grant, CoJae and PEACE and all such dire
calamities will be prevented.
