It has been said that the insurance
of one’s life for the benefit of wife,
children, parents, or other depend
ents, is aa free from the element of
selfishness as any act of which our
natures are capable. This is doubt
lew true, and yet there is nothing
richer in its reward to those whose
tender lore and thoughtful considera
tion has anticipated the possibilities
of the future, and pointed to insur
ance as the only immediate means of
protecting those dearest to them,
• lould death deprive them of the
succor which their toil and industry
had been accustomed to provide. To
such noble natures the duty of insur
ance is beautifully decked in the
garb of privilege. No outlays are
more cheerfully met than those which
keep alive the policies which arc to
shield from want the households that
may at any time be deprived of their
protection and support, while the
freedom such provision gives from
anxiety as to the future welfare of a
dependent family, is felt to be ample
reward for any present privation the
money thus appropriated may neces
sitate. Life insurance cannot prevent
ths sorrow or stay the grief and tears
of widowhood and orphanage, but it
has bought the home, or continued its
comforts to many a stricken family.—
It has educated to lives of usefulness
and hoDorthe families of men who rec
ognizs the value, the necessity and
the beneficence of insurance, while
penny-privation, want and ignorance
have been the legacy of those who
boasted that “did not want to play at
a game in which they had to die to
win.” It is a marvel that this miser
able old saw haa not been worn into
indistinguishable atoms ere this.—
Even men who indulge this fancied
wit, know they are but mortal, and it
is appointed unto man to die. They
should remember it would be wise to
win, and besides justice would seem
to demand that at their death some
such legacy should serve to atone for
their extreme selfishness, which, judg
ing from the sentiment of that ex
pression, their families had been forc
ed to endure.
Take out a policy at once with the
agents, Ballard A Hardy, Harlem,
Gm, io the Staunton Life iesoeiati - -
| It is not charitable to suspect or
I question the love of a man for his
family when be treats with indiffer
ence the subject of insurance, but his
judgment must be seriously defective,
if his circumstances are such that his
family would be unprovided for in
the event of his death; and in such
. esse he is certainly neglecting a duty
which his hope of living, and pros
pect of accumulating weans, does
not excuse him from discharging.
Are you insured ?
No sir, I never cared to insure my
life.
Have you a family ?
Yes, I have a family.
Os course you do not propose to
die soon if you can avoid it, but if
you should, do you think a few thou
sand dollars would be of any great
benefit to your family ?
Os course it would, and if Hive and
have luck, I hope to leave them in
good fix.
But suppose yon do not live, and
do not meet with the success you an
ticipate, how then ?
Well, if I don’t I can’t help it—
I they will have to get along the best
j they can.
; Are you satisfied to leave them to
' such an uncertain fato when it is your
power to provide for them in the
event of your death ?
Well I will think about it, but the
i fact is I am in debt, and I can’t spend
any more money now I
I But suppose you die iu debt. The
: man who is in debt can least afford
to be without insurance..
Why ?
Why it might be that the house
which shelters your wife and chil
dren wou:d have to be sold to pay
that debt. A policy on your life
would save their home.
1 Well, when will you be around
again ? I think I will insure the next
time you come around.
1 I may never come. You may not
be living if I should. To-day is the
only time you know of when you can
insure, If it is worth doing, it is
worth doing now.
No. I will take chances. I will see
you when you come around again,
and I think you can count on my in
suring with pou. You will be around
before long again.
You are taking a great risk. Let
me urge you to close this matter up
now while you can. No, not to day;
! I can’t insure to-day; I will see you
again. And so the agent and the
J farmer parted. Two weeks later the
i local paper contained the following
| notice: “A. 8., a well known county
man, died on yesterday, leaving a de
i pendent family, who have the sympa-
I thy of the community at large.”
The thought occurred, on reading
the notice, that the payment of a life
' policy would have been a valuable
’ supplement to the sympathies of the
. community. This is but one case out
1 of very manv in which the folly of de
is evidenced. Now, reader, are
you you insured ? If not, draw the
■ moral this incident furnishes, and de-
I fer nut till to morrow, next week, or
next month, a matter upon which the

save the greater portion of it. The
fire originated from the stove pipe.—
We are unable to give the exact
amount of loss.
A negro house also on the premises
of Mr. J. A. Bridges was burned this

A den of negro gamblers were run

their escape but two, who were
promptly taken in hand and given
quarters in the log hotel near the rail
