PIECE OR PACKAGE.

New Styles are received almost every day, amp
many Of them got up for own sales, and
not to be found elsewhere.
o. Printed lists of prices, corrected from day
to day, with every variation of tho market, are
placed in the hands of buyers.
Merchants will be able to form some idea of the
extent and variety of our assortment, when we
state, that the value of our usual stock of this
one article, is at least tw ice the value of tho en-
tire stock of dry goods usually kept by our Iarg-
est wholesale iobbers. This fact, together with
the fact, that our means and our attention, in
stead Of being divided among a vast variety of
articles are devoted wholely to one, will render
the advantages which we can offer to dealers per-
fectly obvious and it shall be our care that none
. who visit our establishment shall meet with any
disappointment.

THE design of this great National work of art was
first conceived and prepara tions for its execution
commenced in the winter of 1912 In the midst of
very many difficulties, and at great expense,
the work steadily carried forward execution
and first presented to the public in the of
1916.
A few hundred copies were then struck of, but the
demand that sprung up Immediately its appearance
was great that it evident that the plate would
not supply it unless the character of the engraving
were changed from simple mezzotint to combination
OF line and mezzotint The printing accordingly
Immediately stopped and the plate put again into the
hands of the Engraver to add TO its beauty and ma

lapse Of nearly a year. the printing has again COM
menced and the subscriber calls the attention Of
the public the work, with the confidence that he

There is a certain misfor,nnein the world,
not usually enumerated in the lis, of com
mon msfortunes, but which, nevertheless,
ought TO be. | afford living illustration of
The truth Of my assertion.
My father, God rest his soul. sent me d-
ligenlly TO school there gained some
knowledge, although our city schools at
that period were none of The best
Every one SAID MAX has talent, hu, he
is shy and awkward. cannot adapt himself
to the. ways of the world, is unacquanted
with the usages of socie.v, and never knows
wha, to do with his hands and feet; other
wise he IS good and clever fellow enough"
Such was the general opinion of me
Reader, do You perceive my failing? My
worldly eduraiion was defective. Diligenl
at school and in the workshop, was un-
cleanly and negligent Of my attire; was
civil, obliging and honest, but bashful with
al, SO that ran off when unknown persons
approached; my eyes never knew where to
look for resting place when addressed by
a stranger, and if called upon TO meet lady
with cIviIily and poj'eness, became root
ed to the spot, speechess, and stiff as ram
rod
Enough-poHleness and ease of manner
as they are called, are concerns no less per-
tanning TO life and lies comfort, than bread
and potatoes or glass of wine.
Many young gentlemen, as have often
observed, are greatly wanting in these re-
specls. Many one on going into society
is sadly at loss how 10 dispose of his eX-
tremities, and would. one can easily perceive
have much rather left them at home Alnnv

Among other i'll luck entailed by my awl1

second year without being blessed with a
wife,

A PRATER is a common nuisance, and
as great grievance 10 those that come near
him as pewterer is to his neighbors. His
discourse is like the braying ofa mortar, the
more impertnenl, the more voluble and
loud, as pes,le makes more noise when it
is rung on The sides of mortar, than when
i! stamps downright and hits upon the bussi-
ness. A dog that opens upon wrong scent
will do if oflener than one that never opens
but upon right. He is as long -wnded as
a ventiduct, tina. fills as fast as it emp,es;
or trade-wind, that blows one way for half
a year together, and another as long as if it
drew in its breath for six months, and blew
it out again for six more. He has no
mercy on any mans ears or patience that
he can get within his sphere of activity, but
torlures him, as they correct boys in Scot
land, by stretching their lugs without re-
morse. He is like an ear-wig, when he gets
within mans ear, he is not easil to be got
out again. He is a siren to himself, and has
no way to escape shipwreck bu. by having
his mouth stopped instead Of his ears. He
plays with his tongue as cat does with her
tail, and is transported with the delight he
gives himself of his own making ng-SdmueZ

AN ALGEBRAIC QUESTION.
Bold Major Bravo being sick,
Sent of for Doctor Pill;
The doctor came, and ordered quick
An herb from yonder hill.
Four soldiers brave were sent in quest
Of that desired weed
One North, one South, one East, one West,
They started at full speed.
Now that their haste might greater be,
He offered them prize
A bag of glittering dollars he
Exposed before their eyes
He who returns in greatest haste
Shall have the largest sum,
And in proportion TO the last
Be paid as each shall come.
Now a received portion fair,
B got ten dollars more,
C hastened in and for his share
Got just one-fourth I'm sure.
D getting back received share,
Five dollars less than A.
His time was such that this was fair;
lie made six hours stay.
One hundred dollars shining bright,
This silken bag contained,
But when each man received his right
Not one half dime remained.
Pray tell me now, thou cheerful youth,
And oh, thou gentle maid,
What sum each soldier got in truth,
What the time they staid!

GOOD MAXIMS.

|. The world estimates men bv their sue
cess in life, and by general consent, success
is evidence of superiority.
2. Never, under any circumstances, as
sumo responsibility you can avoid consist
emily with your duty to yourself and Others
3. Base all your actions upon principal
of right; preserve your integrity of char
acler, and, IN doing this, never reckon the
cost.
4 Remember that self-in,erest is more
like Y TO warp your judgement than all other
circumstances combined; therefore look
well to your duty when your interest is
concerned.
S. Never make money at the expense of
your reputation.
6. Be neither lavish nor nigardly Of The
two, avoid The latter. A mean man is uni
versa|ly despised; but public favor is a
stepping sloue eferment-therelore gen.
erous feelings should be cultivated.
z Let your expense be such as to leave
balance in your pocket. Ready money is
friend in need
S. Keep clear Of the law; for when you
gain your case, you are generally loser
OF money.
8. Never relate your misfor,unes, and ne
yer grleve over what YOU cannot prevent.
10. No man who owes as much AS he
can pay, has any moral rig ut to endorse for
another.-Hunt's .Naga=ine
FEW WORDS FOR CHILDREN-Y ou
were made to be kind, generous, and mag
nanlmous. If there is boy in the school
who has club foot, don't let him know
that you ever saw it. If there is boy with
ragged clothes, don't talk about rags when
he is in hearing. If there is lame boy as
sign him some part of the game which does
not require running. If there is hungry
one, give him part of your dinner. Iflhere
| is dull one, help him to get his lesson.
IT there is bright one, be not envious of
him; for if one boy is proud of his talents,
and is envious Of them, there are two great
wrongs, and no more talents than before. If a
larger or stronger boy has injured you, and
is sorry for il, forgive him, and ask the teach
er not to punish him. All the school will
show by their conn,enancc how much bet
ter it is to have great soul than great
frs,.--Horace Manu.
