Pure Life Insurance
VERSUS
TONTINE.

why do men insure their lives?
Because there is no other method of making
certain that which is uncertain and contingent.
Why is Pure Life Insurance better than Ton
tine?
Because Pure Life Insurance means protection
and furnishes it, TOntine means speculation and
only pafit"i protection and adds to the uncertain
ties of life very reasonable certainty of loss in
stead OF diminishing them.
Pure Life Insurance protects against loss from
inability TO pay premiums, and assists the in
surrd to pay them by yearly DIVIDENDS. Tontipe
contscatcs all unless every premium is paid for
10, IL or ~ years.
Pure Life Insurance agrees TO pay at death the
amount Of the policy and all dividends to its
credit any time after the issue OF the policy
TOntne will pay the fuce OF the policy only in
case Of death, and cOntiscates all dividend ac-
cumul,ti0ns. amounting, in many instances, TO
Hilny thousand dOECtys.
Pure Life Insurance agrees to give q paid-up
policy If the holder is not inclined or able to pay
his premium. Tontine requires premiums to be
paid ~ 10 or 20 years. II the insured lives or else
all will he lost.
Pure Life Insurance gives annual dividends at
the end of the first and every year TO assist in
paying the second and subsequent premiums
TOntiue COmpcls its victims to wait TO- IL or %
years. and then take what the Company may be
willing to give.
Pure Life Insurance is based upon principles
OF equity, in consOnHnCe with well established
laws. Tontine is founded upon speculation and
incluity
Pure Life Insurance treats all with exact and
equal fairness. Tontine discriminates against
the poor and unfortunate, and rUbs those who
cannot afford to DO losers.
NOTE.-A prominent Life Insurance Company
OF New York says: The principle of the game
is to rob the unfortunate by canceling their pol.
icies without consideration. when 1t Is found
impossible TO raise the money FOR premiums and
the object of the game Is for companies
which pay very small dividends to conceal the
We advise every man to beware of any Company
which engages in the Tontine game"

MORE RAILROAD SURVEYS IN PRoGREss.--It
is stated that the Maryland Central Railroad
Company is engaged in surveying route from
Baldwin station by way of winnings Valley, in
the direction of Peach Bottom, on the Susque-
hanna river, 1t is rumotcd that the company is
endeavoring to find cheaper route for their
new railroad, as they regard the damages lately
awarded by the jury Of condemnation as exces.
sive and as indicating hostility on the part OF
land owners to the railroad. The question OF
cost, we apprehend, will govern this company,
as 1t does all Others, in their enterprises.
Rights of way in number OF cases have been
obtained by compromise, within the past week,
by Engineer Cutler, between Bel Air and the
point ofjunction with the Deer Creek and sus.
quehanna road near Dublin.
If the land owners along the route want this
railroad or the amount of damages awarded
them it would be well for them to withdraw
their objections and permit the awards to be
ratified by the court. This would compel
the railroad company to accept or aban.
don this route within thirty days. As
long Jas the company is not called TO time
by the confirmation of the awards, they can 90
on making other surveys and may lind a cheaper
route, damages and cost OF construction being
considered, than the one they have selected.
