FINANCIAL REFORM.
REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE.

In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do
not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an-
other; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling
value and universal import as must prove, in the fullest sense of the
term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not
te income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may
be effected the following outline of our nevel, yet well appreciated
business system, will readily show.
POSSESSING L 'URGE ESTABLISHMENTS
in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated
purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are
enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash,
at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de-
signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced
workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-centage upon
original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain
gures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together
with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not
approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as
have been seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to
effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item
"Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief
price list will testify to some extent :

MA It E I A E.
One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em.
e:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
Of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
eomprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform an item
In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CIILVERVirELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
eY mieinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
t lam. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, lint
far the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
‘,837 are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
above subjects, by unqualified authors, whieh alone or
.!-Vether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little
Publications claim your attention (same price Is. each.
by Post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
,r,,mphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
s e who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
2rveneo of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done ante—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
