GOLD PENs-GooD WRITING.-To person
whose employment consists chiefly in writing
whether as author, preacher, editor teacher,
accountant, or clerk-thcre is nothing connected
with his vocation that can possibly annoy him
more than bad pen. We have heard bank
officers and others frequently deplore, with dis
appointed look and tone, the uncertainty and
consequent annoyance to which the very best
of steel pens frequently subject them And
many times. also, in selecting gold pens, they
fare not much better in reaching that point Of
satisfaction which ease and smoothness OF
writing with a good pen is certain to afford.
There are numerous varieties of gold pens IN the
market, and some of them very fair and pleas
ant 10 use for short time, but if frequently
written with, they become disordered or out OF
trim and, after many vexatious trials, have at
Inst 10 be thrown away, and a new and UNI
tried make Of penn substituted And so the
difficulty runs on until the writer becomes dis
grlsted with even gold pens, and returns again
To the next best make of steel pens.


Recently, however, the inventive genius Of a
practical mind has been employed in the pro-
duction of such machinery as will make gold
pen entirety free from all the ordinary objec-
tions, and at lower rates than heretofore. Nor
TON of No. 2j Madenlane, New-YOrk is the
master spirit of this revolution in the art of
gold pen making and from his mandatory,
the largest perhaps in existence, comes the very
best gold pens ever given TO the world. All
other pens pale before the superior excellence
of Morton's, and he is enjoying reputation
such as no other manufacturer ever hoped to
reach before.


We make this special reference 10 the supe-
riority of Mortons gold pens over all others,
because we have personally heard the frequent
complaints of our friends and others, that they
could not obtain good pen anywhere. We
wish to remove such impression from their
minds, and TO strongly recommend them to Try
one Of MOrtOn's make. We have labOTed under
the same difficulties they have, and, at last,
throwing aside all other gold pens, are now using
one of Mouons, and find it so far above all our
expectations and ideas of the perfection 10
which he had brought them, that we could not
be induced to part with !hs one we are now
usius tsll any consideration Of money il we
could hot replace 1t again.


The manufacturer Is an honorable, honest
truthful man, and will not misrepresent his
pens nor take advantage of distant customers
Any one sending TO him for pen will be certain
10 receive what they write for, and no mistake.
All they need TO do is to state fairly the nature
and style of their handwriting; the hardness or
fexibilty of the pen they desire; It's size and
number; and they will be promptly served.


Like many others, we had our misgivings as
to whether we could procure by mail, pen
that would suit us. But we tried the expert
ment. We stated the nature of our hand; the
apparent pressure we use upon the pen when
writing the angle at which we hold it, and
upon which point we incline the hand most
while writing; and by return mail came exactly
the style of pen we would have selected had
we been in the factory searching for one. Tins
success we attribute to the practical knowledge
of the manufacturer, aud his thorough acquaint-
ance with his business.


We would be pleased to have some oi our
writing friends step into our office ana Try the
pen we are now using We feel that the use
of such pen would be to them what II is 10
us-a perfect luxury.-[ Wilmington (Dei) Jour
nal and Statesman, Feb. %, 1867.
