Bought.

Mortgaged 1Iolars and Incisors.
One Of the manifestations Of the times, but
which, Of corrse, must have been induced by
souae demand On the part Of the people, is the
great variety Of articles which can be bought on
PARTIAL PAYMENTS,
principally monthly or weekly inssa1lments Of
currency. Years ego in our juvenile days, when

that all those hours in which wo puzzled over
intricate problems we're delusion and q snare,
and not Of the least applicability to the
real state OF things. Now you buy
everything on partial payments, and tho seller
gets all he can Tor them, without charging inter-
est, save in exceptions cases. Not that you
don't pay it; don't be in the least alarmed about
that; the seller never cheats himself. But that
is aside from tie matter as wo Tiah to look
at It.
