Insurances.

THE NEGLECT OF LIFE ASSURANCE. THERE is no feature of our civilistlife that

strikes a thoughtful man with more force than the neglect of LIFE ASSURANCE. By payment of a small quailerly subscription any nian of good health can secure a very large sum to his family in case of premature death, yet hundreds of Camilics brought up in confort perhaps in luxury-are left in extreme poverty every year from the bread winner having neglected to assure his life. In the East many a man lives up to his income, knowing well that if death cut him off suddenly, his wife and children would be left almost wholly unprovided for. All this can be prevented by Life Assurance.

EVERY FACILITY

In connection with Life Assurance Business is afforded by

THE STANDARD LIFE OFFICE, und of the largest and wealthiest of the Provident Institutions of the United Kingdom. Forms of Overland Trunks, Gladstone application and all information will be promptly Bags, and a variety of Travel-affolded on application to any of the Standard ling Cases, all sizes.
