A Policy of Life Insurance is the cheapest and safest mode of making a certain provision for one's family .- Benjamin Franklin.
A Policy of Life Assurance is always an evidence of prudent forethought ; no man with a dependent family is free from reproach if not Assured .- Lord Lyndhurst.
There is nothing in the commercial world which approaches, even remotely, to the security of a well-established and prudently-managed Life Insurance Company .- Professor De Morgan.
There is no more advantageous or secure form of investment than a Life Policy in a Mutual Company. In the NEW ENGLAND MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY it is the best investment that can be made; for, under all circumstances, you get good interest for outlay of premium paid, and in case of sudden or unexpected death, the legal representatives of the party insured are largely the gainers.

Cash Assets, Jan. 1st, 1864 - $3,000,000 Last Cash Return [now being paid], 750,000
40 PER CENT IN CASH PAID TO ALL INSURED.
This Company, established in Boston, Mass., in 1843, is the oldest and most reliable wholly Mutual Life Insurance Company in the United States, and has been uniformly successful, having always made large returns in cash to all the Policy-holders. Last cash return, just declared, and now being paid, 40 per cent., amounting to $750,000, and leaving a large surplus besides.
. It is strictly a benevolent institution for mutual protection, entirely beneficent in all its workings and tendencies, and is an excellent form of investment.
By the last report of the Insurance Commissioners, the surplus of Assets over liabilities was proportionately greater than any Life Insurance Company in the United States" Expenses pro- portionately "less" than any other Company.
This Company, being purely mutual, insures at the lowest possible rates; and if the pre- miums paid exceed the actual cost, the surplus is returned to the parties insuring.
Every fifth year, at the time of declaring the return to members, the business is, as it were, closed, so that its actual position and solvency are made manifest at that time, and the surplus funds are divided pro rata among all the insured. This guards the assured against any possible loss from ineficiency on the part of the Company, and is a sure guarantee as regards the future.
Insurance may be effected for the benefit of married women, beyond the reach of their hus- bands' creditors. Creditors may insure the lives of debtors.
Parties at a distance may insure from blanks, which will be supplied and forwarded free of expense.
Printed Documents of an interesting character, showing the benefits of the Mutual plan, and the advantages generally of Life Insurance that this Company has to offer, supplied gratis, or forwarded, free of expense, by addressing

BENEFITS OF LIFE INSURANCE.
The principles of Life Insurance are now so well established, that they are no longer matters of experiment, and its advantages are beyond dispute.
The great and special advantage is the securing of wife and children against want and misery after the death of the husband and father. Every one acknowledges the wisdom and prudence of providing for a family against the adversities of fortune, or the accidents of life, and it is the moral, social, and religious duty of every one, not to abandon those dependent upon him to the cold charities of the world, and liable to the temptations and sufferings of poverty, when deprived of his protection and support. The late Lord Chancellor of England declared, that " no man with a dependent family is free from reproach if his life is not insured." The man who neglects to insure his house is condemned for imprudence. How much more improvident is he who refuses to insure his life ? Every house may not be burned, but every man must die. Bishop Hawkes wisely declares, that "Life Insurance is not only a humane, but almost a Christian institution," for the Apostle says : "If a man provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel."
This important duty of every head of a family may be easily and securely performed by obtaining a Policy of Life Insurance. A very small daily saving will accomplish this purpose. Five cents a day, commencing at the age of twenty-one, will insure one thousand dollars at death, whether immediate or remote, together with all the profits which may accumulate on the policy ; and six cents a day, at twenty-eight years of age, will accomplish the same object And by the judicious laws of Massachusetts and New York, policies issued for the benefit of widows and orphans, are protected from the husbands' creditors. The question is not whether one can afford to insure, but rather whether he can afford not to insure.
