youth and age.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.
The proudest poetry of youth
Is__“ Would I were a man !”
The golden vears that lie between
Youth, like a dream, would span.
’Tis in its thought—’tis in its heart—
’Tis ever on its tongue :
But oh, the poetry of age,
j t j s , When 1 was young!
Thus, in the mom of life, our feet
Would distant pathways find,
The sun still face to face we meet.
The shadow falls behind!
But when the morn of life is o’er,
And nature grows less kind,
The lengthVng shadow creeps before ,
The sunlight falls behind !
With many a murmur, slow and sad.
The stream of life flows on ;
That which we prized not when we had
Is doubly prized when gone !
And many a sad and solemn tiuth
Lies written on life’s page,
Between the “ Poetry of Youth,”
And “ Poetry of Age !”

THORWALDSEN’S MERCURY.
Is fixed silence stood the sculptor.
Gazing on the breathing stone.
From the chaos of the marble
Into godlike being grown ;
But a gloom was on his forehead,
In his eye a drooping glanbe ;
And at last the heavy sorrow
From the lips found utterance.
“ Holy Art! thy shapes of beauty
Have I carved, but ne’er before
Reached the perfect and the faultless ;
Still beyond my thought would soar,
Still the high, unfounded idea!
Sought anew and and fairer mould ;
In my conquest sinks my genius,
And Thorwaldsen is grown old.”
Noble artist! thine the yearning.
Thine the deep, inspiring word,
By the sleepless soul immortal
Evermore in secret heard.
For the earthly is it pleasure
The low. earthly end to gain,
For the seeker of the Perfect
To be satisfied is pain.
Visions of an untold glory
Milton saw in his eclipse ;
A lost Paradise to others,
That had no Apocalypse ;
Nobler Christs and veiled Madonnas
Painted were on Raphael’s soul ;
?delodies he could not utter
O’er Bethoven’s ear would roll.
Ever floats the dim ideal
Far before the longing eyes,
Ever as we seem to grasp it,
Onward the horizon flies ;
Not the brimming cups of wisdom
May the thirsty spirit slake,
And the molten gold in pouring
Doth the mould in pieces break.
Voice within our inmost nature,
Calling deep to answering deep,
Midst file’s long and weary labour,
Shalt thou waken us from sleep ;
All our joy is in our future,
And our motion is our rest,
Still the True reveals the Truer,
Still the Good foretells the Best.

[From Tuckerman’s New Work, “ Tlit- Optimist.”
Oh form!
How often dost thou with thy rase, thy habit,
Wrench awe from fools, and tie the wisest souls
To thy false seeming !
Measure for Measure.
When the fluid particles composing
the primeval earth settled into consis
tent masses, an unbroken, uniform plain
was not the result; but everywhere
form, colour and density indicated the
various species of matter. Verdure
crept over the rich loam, long tables
of sand marked the limits of the sea,
and rocks <*f every hue stood forth from
the hills. Form of aspect and move
ment became a law of creation. Even
the unstable elements obeyed it. The
waters projected themselves into bil
lows, currents and fountains, and the
aeriform waves of the “ upper deep ”
were poured forth in as certain deve
lopments. To everything a manner
was awarded, by which it was to he
recognised, and through which it was
to be studied. Another world was
then called into being,—a universe ot
thought, sentiment, fancy and feeling,
a human world. And in this, too, ex
ternal forms were assumed, and man
ner became a characteristic of mortals.
The same law obtains in the spheres of
mind and matter; but how differently
displayed! Since the first song of the
stars, the heavens have worn the same
successive drapery, the earth has changed
not her four familiar robes. The winds
have raised the billows into mountains,
or dallied with the rose-leaves. In all
things has nature been variable, yet the
same—ever presenting a well-known,
though ever varying feature. She
knows not the law of fashion. She is
inexpert in artificial diplomacy. But
manner, among human beings, is sub
ject to the modifications of time and
place; it can be made subservient to
the will. In its very nature, manner
is a means, and greatly do those err
who make it an end. Yet are there
Individuals by whom this adjunctive,
secondary, exponent principle is su
premely relied on. There are those
who manage to glide along through
the world by a kind of mannered leger
demain, who have acquired their man
ner in the ancient school of Proteus,
and by their singular dexterity in ever
imparting the required impression, from
moment to moment, tail not in their
social objects. There is a species of
shufflers who succeed, by virtue of an
off-hand manner, which mankind, in
general, are content to yield to The
most popular class is, doubtless, that
which reduces Chesterfield to practice,
on principle, and with veritable punc
tilio. These devote*- v i lean on a bro
ken reed. Their faith in manner is too
perfect. W ith wonder did I once hear
a man of sense console himself for the
unprincipled conduct of Ins son, by de
claring that “through all he had pre
served his manners.” When tact at
mere verbal rhyming constitutes a poet,
musical memory a composer, or taste
in colours a painter, then may we be
lieve that manners will make a man,
for,
“He— never meant him for a passive thing,
That can lie struck and hammered out to suit
Another s taste and fancy.”
1 here is a policy in manner. I have
heard one not inexperienced in the pur
suit of fame, give it his earnest support,
as being the surest passport to absolute
and brilliant success. And who that
has been chained for hours, as by en
chantment, with the grace and elegance
ot an orator, and then, in solitude, re
viewed his words, and recalled not a
single original and impressive idea, has
not realized this? It is wonderful how
a skilful mannerist can deceive the
world as to his acquirements and mo
tives. I have at this moment in my
mind’s eye the comely figure of an in
dividual who has attained no undesira
ble elevation in the world of letters,
whose manner is so profound and scho
lar-like, so redolent of the otium cvm
tlignitate , that it has earned him the
cognomen of the learned. A Greek
name is inscribed upon his cane, and a
Latin adage upon his tongue s end. lie
yields not to familiar discourse, nor
manifests an interest in aught save
save what is classical. In company
with scholars he is silent, seemingly
from abstraction; in the society of the
uninitiated he speaks much, apparently
to relieve the exuberance of his acqui
sitions : the one class attempt not to
examine his pretensions, from a horror
(natural to high minds) of pedantic
display; the other, awe-struck, yield
him reverence. Now, a few years
since ; but 1 will not betray
him. Suffice it to say that the first
time the magnificence of his manner is
invaded the commanding frost-work of
his reputation will melt in air. We
habitually suspect the truthfulness of
a prominent manner. If, in the pre
sence of an individual, he induces us
to think continually of his manner and
forget himself, we are quickly aware of
our want of affinity. There is no de
light in his fellowship. Os all forbid
ding inventions, an assumed manner is
the most effectual. We instinctively
anticipate the forthcoming scene behind
our backs. Some masterly delineation
of the Duke of Gloster, in the act of
hurling away the prayer book occurs
tons. We are ill at ease; we seem
to hear the laugh and witness the mi
micry which is to occur when the door
has closed upon our exit. We discern
beyond the smile and the honeyed
word, and are sickened at the self
created hollowness of the human heart.
We have admirable provisions in our
civil code for the crimes of perjury and
over-reaching. A thrice heavy penalty
should fall upon him convicted of deli
berately and habitually practising upon
mankind, through the agency of a pre
assumed politic manner. Manner is
the universal language, the grand cir
culating medium ; and should not the
attempt to counterfeit the genuine na
tive stamped coin be made penal ?
There are no greater forgers in the uni
verse than cunning mannerists. Their
whole lives are false. The loveliest of
human attributes, the beautiful, the
winning virtue of sincerity, abides not
with them. They have abjured the
profession of humanity. They have
become players, with none of the ideal
interest and singleness of purpose which
may belong to the legitimate followers
of Thespis. The wearisome rehearsals,
the guarded conduct, the oppressive
sense of having a part to play, the
struggles between the real man and
the assumed character, all press upon
and disturb them; and there are for
them no refreshing returns to nature,
no blissful interludes in the trying
drama, for habit has bound them to
the task and policy goads them on.
There is a poignancy in manner. 1
have often heard a friend describe the
effect produced at a well-surrounded
dinner table, by the silence of a gen
tleman to whom one of the company,
in a very audible voice, had addressed
an impertinent question. The tacit re
buke was most keenly felt; it was more
effectual than a public reprimand, and
yet how entirely devoid of irrational
severity. Similar results may be ef
fected through expert application of
manner. An instance occurs among
the innumerable anecdotes related of
John Randolph. A young aspirant for
congressional fame saw fit, in his mai
den speech, to give proof of his bold
ness and eloquence by a long and abu
sive attack upon the eccentric member
from Virginia. At the conclusion of
the young orator’s voluminous address
the hero of Roanoke arose, and stretch
ing his long, nervous arm towards the
seat of the complacent youth, with a
half-inquiring, half-contemptuous look,
thus replied: “Mr. Speaker, who’s
that?” There was a sarcastic bitter
ness in his manner, under which the
offender quailed. 1 was never more
impressed with the poignant sting mere
manner can inflict than on one occasion
when abroad. Soon after day-break,
on a misty morning, the steamboat
which had brought us from Naples
dropped anchor in the port of Leghorn.
We waited with great impatience the
arrival of the permit to land from the
Board of Health. At length, under
standing it had been received, 1 joined
a party of the passengers and entered
one of the boats which surrounded us.
We were distant from the shore about
an eighth of a mile. The wind was
blowing a gale and the sea running
very high. We had reached about the
middle of the intervening space, and
were beginning to rejoice at the pros
pect of a comfortable shelter, when
the health-ofiicer, from the steamboat,
hailed our boatman, ordering him, upon
his peril, not to proceed. It seemed
some form had been omitted, and we
were kept in the rain, and among the
dashing billows, for more than half an
hour. Thoroughly vexed at the offi
cer’s conduct, we began at last to ap
proach the quay, cold, wet and com
fortless. Various measures were sug
gested for bringing him to punishment.
An Englishman begged that we would
leave it to him, assuring us he was
well acquainted with the temperament
of the people. Soon after the official
barge approached, and in the prow sat
our enemy, with that air of superiority
characteristic of underlings. With
much curiosity we awaited the move
ments of our British companion. To
our astonishment, he doffed his hat and
said, addressing the officer, “Your
name sir, if you please.” The rowers
of the barge slackened their oars and
gazed curiously upon their commander.
His face was suffused with scarlet.
“My name ! my name !” he muttered
fiercely, and impatiently waving to the
oarsmen they soon shot rapidly away.
We looked to the English gentleman
for an explanation. “ Gentlemen,” said
he, “be assured I have wounded him
to the quick. If 1 had parleyed with
him his pride would have been grati
fied ; but by asking in a ceremonious
planner for his name, in the presence
of his men, as if we disdained to do
less than complain to his superior, I
have both mortified and alarmed him.
The formality of my manner has pun
ished him more than words could pos
sibly do.” And so it proved: for on
landing we found him pacing the wharf
and uttering his indignation and fears
violently, while ample apologies were

wards discovered that to bandy words
with the lower class of Italy was but
to waste ones breath and subject the
patience to a great trial—to meet them
on their own ground and give them the
advantage which the fluency of their
language affords. They must be ad
dressed by the language of manner, to
which they are peculiarly susceptible.
There is a power in manner. How
finely Byron describes, in the bearing
of Conrad.
“ that commanding art
That dazzles, leads, yet chills the vulgar heart.”
Who that is susceptible to nature
will deny that the sway of manner con
sists in its truth ? We speak of the
impressive dignity of some of the In
dian tribes; kings might strive to imi
tate it in vain. It is the gift of nature,
the ennobling grace of the forest lords.
The companionship of genius, when do
we most perfectly realize it? When
enthusiasm has led the gifted mind into
such an outpouring that manner is for
gotten, and every look and movement
is instinct with soul. In aged persons
and children —those who have lived too
long to meditate effect, and those who
as yet listen only to the inward oracle —
we most frequently see the perfect spell
of manner. What a world of allure
ment is involved in the common phrase,
an unaffected manner! Nothing is so
delightful as what is spontaneous. A
frank expression of sentiment, a native
manner, captivate : thrice happy when
the latter is habitual. Memnon’s image
imparted not its mysterious strains ex
cept at the touch of the sunbeams, nor
will manner yield its true witchery from
any inspiration but that of the soul.

GEOLOGY.
Os all the studies which relate to
the material universe, there is none,
perhaps, which appeals so powerfully
to our senses, or which comes into such
close and immediate contact with our
wants and enjoyments, as that of geo
logy. In our hourly walks, whether on
business or for pleasure, we tread with
heedless step upon the apparently un
interesting objects which it embraces ;
but could we rightly interrogate the
rounded pebble at our feet, it would
read us an exciting chapter on the his
tory of primeval times, and would tell
us of the convulsions by which it was
wrenched from its parent rock, and of
the floods by which it was abraded,
and transported to its present humble
locality. In our visit to the pictur
esque and the sublime in nature, we
are brought into closer proximity to
the more interesting phenomena of
geology. In the precipices which pro
tect our rock-girt shores, which flank
our mountain glens, or which variegate
our lowland valleys, and in the shape
less fragments at their base, which the
lichen colors, and round which the ivy
twines, we see the remnants of uplif
ted and shattered beds, which once re
posed in peace at the bottom of the
ocean. Nor does the rounded boulder,
which would have defied the lapidary’s
wheel of the Giant Age, give forth a
less oracular response from its grave
of clay, or from its lair of sand. Float
ed by ice from some Alpine summit,
or hurried along in torrents of mud,
and floods of water, it may have tra
versed a quarter of the globe, amid the
crash of falling forests, and the death
shrieks of the noble animals which
they sheltered. The mountain range
too, with its catacombs below, along
which the earthquake transmits its ter
rific sounds, reminds us of the mighty
power by which it was upheaved;—
while the lofty peak, with its cap of
ice, or its nostrils of fire, places in our
view, the tremendous agencies which
have been at work beneath us.
But it is not merely amid the powers
of external nature that the once hidden
things of the Earth are presented to
our view. Our temples and our pala
ces are formed from the rocks of a
primeval age ; bearing the very ripple
marks of a Pre-Adamite ocean, —
grooved by the passage of the once
moving boulder, and embosoming the
relics of ancient life, and the plants by
which it was sustained. Our dwellings,
too, are ornamented with the variega
ted limestones —the indurated tombs
of moluscous life—and our apartments
heated with the carbon of primeval for
ests, and lighted with the gaseous ele
ments which it confines. The obelisk
of granite, and the colossal bronze
which transmit to future ages the deeds
of the hero and the sage, are equally
the reproduction of the Earth’s prolific
womb; and from the green bod of
the ocean has been raised the pure and
spotless marble, to mould the divine
lineaments of beatuy, and perpetuate
the expressions of intellectual power.
From a remoter age, and a still greater
depth, the primary and secondary rocks
have yielded a rich tribute to the chap
let of rank, and to the processes of art,
The diamond and the sapphire, while
they shine in the royal diadem, and in
the imperial sceptre, are invaluable in
struments in the hands of the artizan ;
and the ruby and the topaz, and the
emerald and the Chrysoberyl, have
been scattered from the jewel caskets
of our Mother Earth, to please the
eye, and to gratify the vanity of her
children.
TERRESTIAL MAGN ETISM.
Some interesting investigations in
terrestial magnetism, made by Pro
fessor Norton, of Delaware College,
have recently been communicated to
the American Journal of Science,
which are of sufficient importance and
interest to have a more widely extend
ed notice. The theory of terrestial
magnetism embraced in the communi
cation, is new. According to it, every
particular of matter at the surface, of
the earth, and to a certain depth be
low it, is endued with a magnetic force
acting like the magnetic force of an
electric current, transversely to the
ideal line connecting the particle with
the magnetic needle ; the intensity of
which is proportioned to the tempera
ture of the particle.
This theory, says a writer, proves to
be adequate to the explanation of all
the phenomena of the general action of
the earth upon the magnetic needles—
and serves also with the computation,
with a very close approximation to the
truth of the direction of the needle, and
of the intensity of the force acting upon
it, over all the parts of the earth. It
has also achieved the signal triumphs
of furnishing the first rational physical
explanation of all the daily variations
that occur in the earth’s magnetic ac
tion. by tracing them to the daily va
riations that occur in the temperature
and humidity of the earth’s surface.
These investigations reveal the exis
tence of unsuspected and very interest
ing relations between the thermal and
magnetic state of the earth's surface,
and show that the daily changes which
take place in the action of the earth
upon the magnetic needle proceed “pari
pass?/” with the meteorological chan
ges that occur.
It is certainly a novel and beautiful
result that, in the disturbed movements
and changes and force of a delicately
poised magnetic needle, we can read
the story at the same time of each pass
ing change of temperature of the warm
dew that steals noiselessly down at
night, and of the rain that falls to rise
again in invisible vapor at the awaken
ing touch of the rays of the sun. In
making these discoveries, Prof. Norton
throws a flood of light upon much that
has always been enveloped in the dark
ness of mystery.
Wokd Types.— Mr. J. 11. Tobitt, a
practical printer, has succeeded in in
troducing into his establishment, No.
9 Spruce st., the use of word types.
That is, he causes such words as the,
and, in, it, to, and all the most com
mon syllables to be cast on one body.
By this method, the printer, instead of
picking up three types to form the
word and, takes up but one. The idea
is not new, though Mr. Tobitt is the
first who has brought it to practical use
in this city. He states that a very
considerable saving of time and labor
is effected thereby.— Lit. American.
FACTS WORTH KNOWING.
Lewenhoeck saw hundreds of ani
maleula* in the space of a grain of sand,
and he says ten thousand; but it is
now suspected that he saw the ultimate
motions of the atoms of gas, and not
organized beings. A drop of water
contains hundreds, all in extreme ac
tivity, swimming or crawling with free
dom and purpose. They appear to
subsist on the atoms of the infusion,
and some prey on others.
A pacha, often spelt bashaw, is the
governor of a province or city under
the grand seignor. Those who are pri
vileged to carry the tails of their hor

with three tails, and others,pachas with
two tails. They are local sovereigns
and despotic tyrants; but the courts of

of them.
Australasia, a fifth division of the
earth’s surface, includes the continent

Holland was first visited at. Hartegh’s
Island, in 101(5, by a Dutch vessel, and
afterwards explored by others of that
nation.
The wings of insects afford an im
mense variety of interesting and beau
tiful objects. Some are covered with
scales, as in the butterfly tribe; some
are adorned with fringes of leathers,
and the ribs or veins are also feathered,
as in the gnat family, and even these
scales and feathers are ribbed and flu
ted in a variety of ways.
Bones are composed of gelatinous
fibres in net-work, and of earthy salts,
as phosphate, carbonate and sulphate
of lime. The gelatine prevails in
young animals, and hence their bones
are more flexible. Ossification com

blood-vessels.
The stomach converts food into a
pulp called chyme, and passing into
the intestines bile converts it into a
milky substance called chyle, in which
state the lacteal absorbents convey it
to the blood near the heart, through
which it passes to the lungs and be
comes blood.
Dorse power in steam engines is
calculated as the power which would
raise 33,000 pounds a foot high in a
minute, or 00 pounds at the rate of
four miles an hour. Some experimen

the above is adopted by most theoreti
cal writers.
There are no grounds for the terror
inspired by earwigs. No medical case
is recorded of mischief from them, and
oil and brandy would instantly kill or
expel them; while they in no case

PUNCH’S POLICE.
A VERY MELANCHOLY CASE.
Yesterday a gentleman of the name
of Thomas Carlyle was brought before
Mi-. Punch, charged with being unable
to take care of his own literary repu
tation —a very first-rate reputation until
a few months past —but now, in con
sequence of the reckless and alarming
conduct of the accused, in a most dan
gerous condition; indeed, in the opin
ion of very competent authorities, fast
sinking.
The office was crowded by many dis
tinguished persons, all ot them mani
festing the most tender anxiety towards
the accused, who, however, did not
seem to feel the seriousness of his situ
ation; but, on the contrary, with folded
arms and determined expression of vi
sage, called the worthy magistrate (Mr.
Punch) a “windbag,” a “serf of flun
keydom,” and “an ape of the Dead
Sea.”
John Nokes, a policeman with a lite
rary turn, proved that he had long
known the doings of the accused.—
Witness first became acquainted with
him through his “ Life of Schiller,” a
work done in the very best and decent
est manner, in which no offence what
ever was committed against the peo
ple's English; for he, John Nokes, had
an idea that English should be called
either “king's” or “queen’s,” but em
phatically “ the people’s English.” Had
since known the accused through “Sar
tor Resartus, “The French Revolu
tion.” “Past and Present,” and “Oliver
Cromwell.” From time to time, as he
went on, witness had marked with con
siderable anxiety, an increasing wild
ness, a daring eccentricity of manner in
the doings of the accused, frequently
observing that he delighted to crack and
dislocate the joints of language, and to
melt down and alloy sterling English
into nothing better than German silver.
Nevertheless, witness did not believe
the reputation of the accused in any
positive danger, until some three or
four months back, when he detected
him running wildly up and down the
pages of “ Frazer’s Magazine,” pelting
all sorts of gibberish at the heads of Ja
maica niggars—fantastically reproach
ing them for being “ up to the ears, con
tent in pumpkins, when they should
work for sugar and spices” for their
white masters—threatening them with
the whip, and, in a word, dealing in
language only dear to the heart—wit
ness meant pockets—of Yankee slave
owners and Brazilian planters. Since
then, witness had named his suspicions
to several most respectable publishers,
warning them to have an eye upon the
offender.
Peter Williams, teacher at the Lamb
and-Flag Ragged School, deposed that
he had purchased two numbers of a
work by the accused, called “ Latter-
Day-Pamphlets.” The first number
appeared to him (witness) to develope
rabid symptoms —but in the second, in
Model Prisons, there was nothing in it
but barking and froth. (Here several
passages were read that fully bore out
the opinion of the witness; passages
which created a melancholy sensation
in court, many persons sighing deeply,
and in more than one instance dropping
“some natural tears.”) Witness did
not believe it consistent with public
safety that, in his present temper, the
accused should lie trusted with pen-and
ink. If permitted the use of such dan
gerous weapons he would —until reco
vered from his present indisposition—
inevitably inflict upon his reputation a
mischief from which it could not re
cover. As it was, witness considered
it far from safe.
Mr. Punch asked the accused if he
had anything to say; whereupon ac
cused, with a withering smile, replied:
“Preternatural Eternal Oceans” —
“ Inhuman Humanitarians”—“ Eider
down Philanthropy ”—“Wide-reverbe
rating Cant"—“Work Sans Holiday”
—“Three Cheers more, and Eternal,
Inimitable, and Antipodean Fraternity”
—“Pumkindom, Flunkeydom, Fools
dom, and Pen-and-Inkdom!”
Mr. Punch observed, this was a mel
ancholy case. lie could not release
the accused, unless upon good and suf
ficient surety. Whereupon two gentle
men—publishers of the first respecta
bilitv —declared themselves willing to
be bound, that accused should not, un
til in a more healthful frame of mind,
be allowed the use of paper and goose
quills.
It is believed that if accused again
offend, the whole body of publishers
will insist upon his compulsory silence.
Let us, however, hope better things.
TIME OUT OF MIND.
We really cannot tell what has come
lately to some of the principal Clocks
of London. Since St. Clements set the
bad example of irregularity some four
or five years ago, there lias been a sort
of epidemic prevailing among many of
the principal time-pieces of the Metro
polis. A month or so back, it was the
Royal Exchange that showed symp
toms of ill-timed eccentricity, and now
we regret to hear of that highly-respect
ed member of the Horological Society,
the Asylum (’lock in the Westminster
Road, having turned off the whole of
its hands for the last fortnight. J’he
absence of the hands cannot be the re
sult of a strike, for no striking has been
observed by the inhabitants.
The works are, of course, completely
stopt. and the supposition is, that the
Clock had, in a moment of forgetfulness,
been wound up to a pitch of intensity
which has proved fatal to its proper
equilibrium. Whatever may be the
cause, we can only deplore the effect,
for this (’lock, which seemed always to
have the game in its hands, is at pre
sent without any hands whatever.
NOTHING LIKE LEATHER.
By the latest advices from California,
we learn that the articles in which it is
most judicious to speculate, are jack
boots, and that a horse-guard, therefore,
emigrating in his regimental chaussure,
with his boots on his legs, would have
a little fortune on his hands if he felt
himself disposed to get the articles dis
posed of.
It seems that the slushy and quag
miry state of the diggings, necessitates
the use of the most substantial protec
tion to the feet and legs; nor can we be
surprised that there is much mud and
dirt to be gone through in the search
after filthy lucre.
In more civilized nations, it is indis
pensable that the mere money-hunter
should have a strong, coarse understand
ing, just as in California it is the thick
ness of the boot that aids one in the
pursuit of booty.
It is evident that a parcel of pumps
would be of no use whatever at the dig
gings; and that as in boots, so in men—
the jack of the one and the knave of
the other, will be most suited to Cali

do not see what right they have to

JOSEPH GILLOTT’S STEEL PENS.
MANUFACTURER’S WAREHOUSE,
91 JOHN-STREET, NEW YORK.
A LARGE stock of these well known PEN’S constantly
on hand, for sale as above.
CAUTION. —Certain PRETENDED MANUFAC
TURERS of Steel Pens, having adopted Joseph Gil
lott’s style of Label, his mode of putting up his
Pens, and also Desionati.no Numbers, he desires to
give the following
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
That all genuine packages or boxes of Joseph Gil
lott’s Pens have a sac simile of his signature on the
reverse side. None other are genuine. This caution espe
cially refers to his original No. 303, the great popularity of
which ha caused it to be imitated, ami the number adopt
ed by a host of pretended makers.
Joseph Gillott would further advise the public that,
in all cases where his Numbers and the phraseology of his
Labels are adopted by the parties above alluded to, the
Pens are not made by hint, although asserted to be.
An experience of thirty years has enabled Mr. Gillott to
bring his Steel Peas to the highest state ok perfec
tion, and the liberal patronage which he has long enjoyed
at the hands of theAmerican public,will incite him to con.
tinned exertion to maintain the favor which he has ac
quired. HENRY OWEN, Agent.
