WHO MAKES THE BEST AND CHEAPEST GOLD PENS!

THE MoRToN GOLD PEN-The shadow attends the
substance with no less certainty than imitation fol-
lows success. If man builds magnificent house
on a novel plan some other man is sure to build
amther as nearly like it possible The conhdlng,
clicking hen lays an egg but human skill has pro-
diced china or porcelain imitation which to some
daree is made TO serve in the place of the original.
Tie hen very stupidity sets on the China egg as il it
we're genuine one; the robber Of her nest is enjoy
irg her real product in the shape of an omelette.
INT after all the hen is not whit more stupid than
nanv specimens of humanity, who accept a spurious
bstitute and only too late to find ont their error
Take for instance, Morton's gold pens. Morton put
lis skill his capital his labor and his brains to
work, and by means Of his patented machinery pro-
tuced n pen which satisfied everybody. Envious
and covetous knaves noted his success and aware of
the gullibilty of mankind, made miserable lmlta-
tons. They stole Morton's name, and, altering the
initials so to avoid legal consequences, announced
their puerile efforts as THE Morton PEN" Some
even went further, and issuing circulars promisedon
receipt of a certain sum of money to send back a
Morton pen by mail the money would be sent, but
no pen at all would be returned. Generally how
ever spurious pens would be palmed off on unsus-
pecting individuals
To remedy all this Mr. Morton has decided to sell
his pens only at his store, No. % Maiden-lane or
Though his authorized agents who are, in all cases
provided with an official certificate from headquar-
teIs and with good stock of the Morton pens. In
tlB way purchasers need only buy goods that they
caI previously examine for themselves. The writing
pujlc may therefore hereafter purchase their pens
from Morton or his agents with calm faith and a
co,fiding security.-[ NeC- York EceHinG Post

Ir. MORTON: The manual labor OF writing had
always been difficult and painful to me- had never
ben able TO purchase a gold pen adapted to my
hand quills were too coarse and soon wore out and
steel pens were harsh and stiff
IN March. 1865, after half an hours experimenting,
yoi selected gold pen for me- as flexible as quill
anil ms fine as / wanted. / had never found any
thing with which could write half so easily before
But lost il in California. and for few months
scntched away as best / could with s,cel pens. On
the day after reaching New-York again, with your
aid ! found another gold pen in your establishment
as good as the first have used IT daily ever since,
and now write these lines with IT, with an ease TO
which | was a stranger before met you two years
ago One Of my friends adopted your pens from the
same cause and with the same results. | am conf
dent that you can iii any hand, however cramped,
and help any writer however hard TO suit.
Faithfully yours, ALBERT ID. RICHARDSON.

appearance again this morning IN our advertising

pleasure in saying more that We know of no gold
pens in the world equal TO those manufactured by
Mr. Morton. We have used them tor more years
than We care 20 remember. and we have sent many
thousands Of them 10 friends who were extending
our circulation. There never was but one testimony
about them. They write with uncqualcd ease and
rapidity. with almost or II you choose, with quite
the elasticity Of a quill, and Their durability
/. as remarkable as the nicely of their work
manship There IN a reason for this perfection. Mr.
Norton's pens are made by machinery OF his own
Invention Of the most costly and delicate construc-
tipn which enable him 20 make pens at once better
and cheaper than can be fabricated by hand. They
have superseded steel pens with all who study ex-
celence aud economy, and in the same way are rap
idy superseding other gold pens. Mr Morton now

The ID. N. Society.

As this very popular Society is rapidly
extending its membership III this city, we
feel that anything relating to It's affairs, in
other places, will be read with great inter
est by the Fremont members, and give the
following report of the proceedings at one Of
the meetings which occurred in an Other
city, as published in an exchange paper;
A meeting of the Do Nothing Society was
held in this place a few days since,
Sam LazybOne took the chair.
The Secretary made his report-that at the
last meeting nothing had been done, accord
ing to the Constitution of the Society. 80
Jim Vacuum offered to make motion,
but did not move from his seat. He obser-
we'd that it was a popular prejudice that il
was the duty Of man to work. The present
order has been formed for the encourage
ment of idleness. A member was waiting
to be initiated.
The President said:
"Let him come in"
The candidate was brought in on a fouI
post bedstead. After giving the password
the President administered the oath Of eter-
nal laziness, and desired the candidate fol
admission into the order to repeat after him
The candidate waited till the President had
finished, and then replied "Ditto."
The Vice President then asked the candi-
date if he would take drink?
The candidate nodded, and opened his lips.
THE Secretary will read you the rules OF
the society,"" said President.
Candidate nodded.
Hell do" said the President, approving
ly.
"Yes," said the Vice President, He'll do
nothing"
The members name was enrolled, and he
was reused to pay his initiation.
He did nothing of the kind.
Nothing else took place.
Nothing more was said.
Nothing more was done.
We know nothing more of the proceed.
