well as straight marks Indeed, it is 80 inge-
ui2u-ly and simply constructed that even the
heaviest AMI most unpracticed hand will write
clearly and elegantly. almost as though directed
by the Will of scientific penman. This little
contrivanre is very cheap, and graded in sizes to
suit the hand Of the purchaser, and is 80 perfect
as almost TO compel any one using il to write a
graceful and easy hand. Mr.. NJ p. Finn, Of this
city, has the agency of this novel instrument fox

pay forfeit? Shoe fly! How about that bet
