IlIK principle or LIFE ISSURAXCE haa
become so well demonstrated, that it is hardly
necessary at this day to go into au argument in its
support. Every individual who has a family or
aear ones aepeuuem upon nis existence, is m tact,
overiooKmg, 11 not violating, one oi ine most im
portant duties of life, in not guarding them against
want, and protectmg them from poverty, should
death deprive them of his support and assistance,
On an lMSUliAAUfc I'OLIUlf, procured at a small
premium, a requisite sum is secured in case of
death, to provide them with Hubtuatcnce through
life. Securing such a policy not only makes life
Eass mora pleasantly, but will bring to the death
ed the happy consolation that your wife nd child
ren will not bo loft destitute, or to THE COLD.
