A CARD-In 1861 Morton discontinued the
discount formerly given TO the Jobbing Trade,
and, ignoring the services of middle men, has
sold his pens either directly to those who use
them, or to such as keep them on hand for the
better supply of the writing public in their
own localities. There may be Jobbcrs who
have spoken in favor of the Morton Pen since
that time, but, if so, their remarks have never
in a single instance reached his ear; and
although they generally admit that Morton
can make the best pens in the world, and used
TO do so, they nevertheless put forth great
exertons to show that the Morton Pen has de-
preciatcd in value, is not what it formerly was
and that those which they vend are equal, If not
superior; now since many Retail Dealers obtain
what little they know of pens, rs well as the pens
themselves, entirely from the Jobbers, people are
apt to be msled by their representations
In order that the public may Judge correctly,
and at the same time see how much pains
taking is exercised TO give every one who orders,
just such n pen as will exactly suit his hand
Morton confidently refers to the many thousands
throughout the entire country, who have re-
ceived his pens through the mails during that
time and also calls particular attention TO the

forming you of the tact that the section of coun-
try Lancaster District 5. o. In which reside
is sfamine-stricken, confident that city bear
ing the title of "Brotherly Love" would not
neglect. or treat with indifference, the appeal
was mistaken. I cannot refrain from express
ing my great regret that city when In Times
past was literally patronized by the south
should now turn deaf ear to the cries OF her
starving women and children, and walt for
the compulsory press OF law 10 enforce

hope that the people OF the "City OF Brotherly
Love" will yet sustain the meaning or TINS
noble title by setting to work and sending us
that which will cast Joy into the eyes OF tanlsh-
ing mothers and helpless children. Inc clues
around about Philadelphia are contributing
literally. Shall the "City OF BroIherly Love" be
a desert island in this work OF DeneVolence?
May the great God OF mercy open her eyes 10
our wants, and warm her heart now cold TO us,
that her well-doing might raise smile, and not
a blush of shame, upon the face OF the humane
founder of her State, were he witness OF her
Whether Philadelphia contributes or not for

mighty, rise once more from our Iallen state,

OF this? But shall say, "Gales cared for none
