Continental Currency. The money was

his paper over the cartoons or pictures of |

his picture to appear in our columns, our /
artist shall go to Lewistown and take it. He |
can do it in about five minutes as hand /
somely as any of the pictures that he has
and published. Five minutes will |
not be long to sit to have your picture 4

to think, if you SO desire, it shall be put on |
the figure of Adonis or any other handsome
being You may select. How would the fig 1
IRE of an angel suit you
