ABOUT STEEL PENS.

Few persons doubtless are aware Of
the fact that the original inventor Of
steel pens is still living. Sir Josiah
Mason, now the great pen manufacturer
of Birmingham, England, enjoys tina,
distinction. He is now very old. being
above eighty. 1t is in his great factory
that several of the most popular of the
widely famed Spencerisn Double Elastic
Steel Pens are made, the models being
supplied by the proprietors of the pens,
Messrs. Ivison, Brakeman, Taylor & Co.,
the Educational Publishers of New
York. The Spencerian pens have attained
their great popularity from a variety of
reasons, all Of which will be apparent to
any one who may try them. Ofone num-
Der alone more than six millions were
sold last year. We use them in our Office
and are 90 we'll pleased with them that
we have no hesitation in saying that they
are, in our opinion, superior to any other
article of the kind with which We are
acquainted. Their chief characteristic
seems to be Aexibility, elasticity, dura-
bility and evenness Of point. and nearer
approximation to the real quill action
than has been heretofore attained in a
steel pen. The Spencerian are comprised
in fifteen numbers, all differing in flexi-
bility and fineness of point, and for the
convenience Of those who wish to try
them, ,afso-srs. Ivison, Brakeman, Taylor

Fare thee well, beloved husband,

And We are left behind to weep.
Never more shall we behold thee
In thine earthly house again;
But in heaven We hope to meet thee,
Where eternal pleasures reign.
