not chance; as those move ensiest who
have learn'd 10 Dance" So said Pope
Anothes version OF true case in writing
is the use of good writing materials. a
soft or hard pencil, of any color. draw
ing pencils, finc pens, an excellent arti-
Gle of writing paper; in fact, anything
in the stationery line, OF superior quail

city is of mild type, and with good at
tention, there need be no apprehension
OF any great Inconvenience. We have

have diminished.

raj months to supply the city, and would
have done SO, without expense, had he
been SO requested, although his contract,
as he claims, does not commence until
the 21st.
