gTnE CALIFORNIAN Psx.—The everlasting quest'en., f "is this
good pen" bas been answered by Mr. E. T. Hall, of South John
street, who has succeeded in producing a metallic pen, which he
designates, not inaptly, as above, There is hardly anything more
annoying than a bad pen—every one knows the misery. The pen
made by Mr. Hall. is fit for any hand to use (light or heavy), and
what is of the greatest value, it does not corrode, but will work with
equal facility in any ink. From experience of metallic pens, we can
say that this one, which is polished as gold, and will last nearly as
long, is the best one we have ever used.—Northern Times. One
box, containing six dozen pens, sent free on receipt of 2s 6d in
postaCe stamps. Agents wanted for the country.—Adv.
Emigrants to the UNITED STATES and CANADA, by twin; the
Through Tickets of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, are conveyed
from their port of landing to their destination in less than ONE
CIOARTER OF THE TIIIIS taken by Steam Boats, and at about the same
rates of fares. Thus a passenger can reach Chicago from Quebec, a
distance of 1,007 miles, in less than 24 days, whereas by water it is
nearly double the distance, and requires from 12 to 15 days, with five
or six changes of Steam Boats, during all of which they are exposed
to the arts and machinations of designing persons, whose sole means
of living is by their plunder. The Steam Boats, especially when
crowded, scarcely afford protection from the weather. Passengers
with Through Tickets are allowed the same amount of luggage, free,
as on board the ship, and it is conveyed from the Ship to the Railway
Station without any charge whatever. The Agents of the Grand
Trunk Company will give Mechanics, Artizans, and Labourers, on
their arrival, the best information In respect to employment, the
places at which it is to be had, and the rates of wages. Intending
Emigrants aan have sent to them, free, a Tariff of passengerates ;
and all their enquiries with regard to the sailing of both steamers and
sailing ships, Scale of Dietary, &c., will be immediately answered on
application, either personally or, by letter, at the offices of the Grand
Trunk Company, 21, Old Broad-street, London.
A SLIP BETWEEN THE CUP AND THE LIP.—A rather waggish
customer belonging to Coupar-Angus, being weary of that rather
equivocal state of single blessedness, which consisted in being
separated from his wife, took it into his head that he would have
.another a mensa et Moro, and of this he a;:prised both neighbours and
customers, being quite jubilant upon the prospect of a fine " ladye,"
brought from the distance of one hundred miles. The other day she
arrivedper railway, and while he went to the station for her luggage,
a gossiping neighbour stepped in to buy two or three eggs, and finding
the prospective mistress of the house benind the counter, she imme-
diately told her how the land lay, at which she was so much astounded
that the very next train carried her back to her mother again, leaving
oftr gay Lothario at sixes and sevens, and altogether oat of sorts. It
is said that a sharp epistle relating to pecuniary matters from the
lady's solicitor so alarmed him that he packed up his trunk, sold off
horse and cart, and started away to push his fortune, leaving his
children to the care of the Poor's inspector. His sister, however, got
uponhis trail, and during his absence from his rendezvous in Dundee,
very actively had his luggage conveyed back to the railway, and had
it safely under lock and key in her own house that very night, and as
it is said all the available funds ware in the trunk, he was now in a
dead fix, and nothing remained for him in these circumstances
but just about ship, and steer for port again. He came home again
on Friday last, sadly crestfallen, to await some other turn of that
tide in the affairs Omen which, taken al; the flow, leads on to fortune.
