And yet we bend above her tomb
With tears, and call her dead.
We call her dead, but ah F! we trust

Truth and Justice.

To THE PUBLIC: I take this method
Of defending myself in my business. l
am charged, by my competitors in trade,
of selling goods know to be worthless.
The truth of the matter is this: 1t was
my misfortune to have large lot of
stoves broken by wagon and railroad :
and it happened that Smith Brothers
had a lot broken at the same time. The
breaking ofmy stoves was a hard thing
on me, as | was hardly able to loose the
amount of damage. My competitors
We're not satisfied with my bad luck, but
commenced taking advantage by telling
the people that the stoves bought were
made out Of old metal and made by
Sheldon Il Greene of Troy. The latter
assertion is true, but the former one is
false. l have the best stoves in the
Countrywide Olive Branch and Hen
ry Clay'-and they were made by that
firm. But that Is not all--they don't
tell the people that / have the Home
Comfort, Good Samaritan, and Litle's
Patent, oh, no! but the iron-leg gentle
man spreads himself, When q customer
comes in, ready to condemn my goods
by misrepresenting my stock and by a
long harangue of abuse against poor,
honest mechanic who makes his living
by the sweat of his brow, and not bv
running his neighbours goods down. I
do think that is the most contemplate
of all meanncss. My object is to prove
that they misrepresent my stock for the
purpose of selling their stoves. will
