Who looks on woman's vanished bloom,
Her wasted form and languid air
Nor murmers that ruthless doom,
Should snatch away the young and fair.
So uncomplaining in her woe,
SO meek and lovely in distress,

We cannot learn to spare her less.

And be relieved of all her ills,
Oh, let her be advised to try

On the Cash Plan.
Wholesale Book and Stationery House
MASON BROTHERS,,

90 PARK ROW opposite the Astor House,
Gc) New York, offer one of the most exten-
siye stocks and complete assortmentsin the
country of books and stationery, for cash
only. The amount of goods in our line pur-
chased by country merchants is usually
quite small compared with their Dry Goods,
Hardware and other bills; and this very
circumstance absolutely compels jobbers in
the book business, who sell on time, to get
larger profits in order to make up for the
losses and extra expenses necessarily in
volved in credit business ofsmall amounts.
1t is also easy for the merchant to make ar
rangements to buy his book bill for cash,
though it might not be so convenient for him
to purchase his larger bills in this way.
These considerations have led us TO adopt
in our business from this date, January, 1854,
the following principals, viz: small profits
unvarying prices, and terms always cash.
Being ourselves the sole publishers of a
number of the leading and most extensively
selling School Books in the country, as well
rs works in other departments, our facilitie:
are unsurpassed.
Call upon us, or send an order, and judge
for yourselves. if the saving you can make
by buying of us for cash is worth while.
