Cheap! Too Cheap!

All men desire 10 purchase as much as
they can for as little as posaiblej but who
would like to become y member of firm
and invest his. money in it when he knows
that it is doing business on an e5traFagant
scale, which must end in ruin or compel
Thrilling or quadruping of the expenses in
the near future. All men wish to buy cheap,
but any man of sense would rather nay
little more and secure a good article than
pay less and secure a worthless one.s And
yet, there are some who will buy brass jew
elry, because it is cheap. When the agent
of the New Era Cooperative Life Insurance
Company of Philadelphia, publishes that
his company carried risk Of $4,000 three
years on the life of man GO years old, for
total Of S7O.SS, all sane men, having any
knowledge of insurance, know at once that
the thing is quite too cheap to be sound and
that the company must soon compel other
its members to pay three or four times
that much or fail. Intelligent men prefer
to insure in company that charges such
medium rates as will enable il to live and
meet all the obligations it assumes "A COM
pany that has had more than ten years Of
successful experience, has paid 81 ,Gj1, ,2G0.2 %
in death losses, has net surplus of assets
over liabilities of $l95, ,G7G.27 and a guarau-
tee fund of $l75,OOG,OOO-N company that
publishes a monthly journal, in which it
lays before the people all the facts respect
ing its worliings-such company is The L.

Mr.. John B. Halman, NJ. D., of Birds.
bcro', Berks county, Penn'a, held certif-
cate for 8 years, at age when joining 60
years, for the maximum sum of $4,000 in
the New Era Life Association of 1876, Of
Philadelphia. The said John B. Halman,
M. D., died Sept &c, 1870, and his heirs,
furnishing satisfactory proof of death to the
New Era Life Associatioty Oh Oct 10, 1879,
and the New Era paid his heirs on the 18th
day OF jan, 1880, $4,000, for Which Mr.. John
B. Halman paid into the New Era Life As
ISOLATION in the three years $7oSs. John
B. Halman held a membership in the Home
Mutual, of Lebanon, for $1,000, which cost
in two years, $62.63, which 6lait1 has been
paid. Mr.. John y. Halman was member
of the y. b. Mutual Atd Society of Lebanon,
for $1,000, which cost him in two years be-
tween $50 and $40. This shows the New
Era the cheapest company, for it cost him
in the New Era about one-half as much in
three years, for $4,000, as Il did in the other
two companies for $1,000 each. 4 word to
heads OF families Just think, had Mr.. Hal
man done like great many of you do, he
could not have left his family the $1,000
which the New Era paid them. Now every
man can secure a policy of $1,000 and then
his family is protected, and if your death
comes suddenly and your family should not
be prepared 10 meet the expenses which oc-
cur at that time, The New Era will pay
down to the proper heirs sufficient amount
to cover ali funeral expences as soon as salts
factory proof is given of your death. Just
think, for the small sum of $40 you can Sc
cure certificate of membership in the New
Era. Every man and woman ought to se-
cure membership right off. Be sure you
choose the right Association. The New Era
offers better opportunities than any other
association or company in the United States.

A Desperate Fight between N Lady
and Seven Huffians.


A shocking case of assault and brutality
is to be tried before Squire Beck of Nazareth.
The particulars of the horrible affair are
On Sunday night week as a daughter Of
Abraham Able, Of Painfeld township,
Northampton county, aged about seventeen
years, was returning from church, she met
with a fearful experience She left the
Plainfeld church in company with several
other ladies and proceeded homeward. Her
friends as they came to their homes or to
roads leading different directions said, "good
night" and gradually the company de-
creased until Miss Able was left to wend her
way honfeward alone, her last friend leav-
ing her about quarter of a mile from her
fathers house. She had proceeded some
distance when suddenly seven young men
sprang out from the roadside and seized her.
She screamed for help and fought for her
honor with almost superhuman strength,
keeping at bay the entire party of ruAians
Her clothes were nearly all torn from her
person and were scattered in different direc-
tions. Her tormentors were unrelenting in
their purpose and the unfortunate lady
found her strength failing rapidly owing to
her excrtious and the screaming for help
which she kept up continually. Frequent
ly she was in the grasp OF the Villains who
used every endeavor to stop her cries by
putting their hands over her mouth, by
choking her, and by threats. She managed
time and again to free herself and make a
break for the circle which the ruffians formed
about Ii er, but il was without avail, and f.
nelly, nearly overcome, and still struggling
she was thrown and rolled into the mud
They had nearly accomplished their purpose
when the employees from Mr.. Able's farm,
who had heard the screams for aid appeared
and the rufiians beat hasty retreat. The
farm hands were astonished TO find Miss
Able in this terrible condition and did
everything to quiet her, but her nerves
were so unstrung that it required consdera-
bic time for her to collect herself and tell
the story Of her terrible experience. Then
it was too late to pursue her assailants. She
was wrapped up as well as possible, the
mud removed from her face and body, and
then she was carried home. Five Of the ac-
cused have been arrested.
