ions of the Press:
PAPER MoIsrENER.---A new and very neat use
full invention for moistening post office stamps,
envelopes, sheets in a copying book counting
bank bills, &c. This does awsy with the disagree
able method OF moistening stamps, &c, with the

PAPER MoIsTENER-A new invention for mois-
ening postage stamps, envelopes, sheets in a
copying book, counting bank bills, DC. The
common way OF molstening stamps with the
tongue is very disagreeable and inconvenient !;
also the usual way Of wetting sheets in copying
book, by using brush which has to be dipped in
water, is inconvenient and very difficult to give
paper an even moisture, which is very desirable
for copying letters. This article obviates these
difficulties, besides being useful for various other
purposes. 1t is also perfectly simple and cheap,
and must come into general USE Boston Post,
Sept, 1854.
PAPER MoIsTENER.-A newly invented and very
useful little continuance for moistening postage
stamps and envelopes, and for wettiIg sheets in

save the tongue a good deal OF unpleasant work.
