Tur. MortoN Gorp PEx.—The shadow attends the substance with no less certainty than imitation fol- lows &1 If a man builds a magnificent house on a novel plan some other man is sure to build another as nearly like it as possible. The confiding, clucking hen lays an egg; but human skill has pro- duced a china or porcelain imitation, which to kome degree is made to serve in the place of the original. The hen very stupidly sets on the China egy as if it were a genuine one ; the robber of her nest is enjoy- ing her real product in the shape of an omelette, But adter all, the hen is not a whit more stupid than many specimens of humanity, who accept a spurious substitute and only too late to find out their error, Take, for ins Morton's gold pens. Morton put s stamped with the "{ other; therefore, e '8, his gkill, his eapital, his labor and his brains to work, du «d by means of his pate ed & pen which satisfied e 1 covetous knaves noted his sue the gullibility of manki; made miserable mita- tions. They stole Morton's name, and, altering the initials, 80 as $o avoid legal consequences, anuounced their puerile efforts ‘he Morton Pen.” Some even went further, and issuing cireulars, promisedon ipt of a certain sum of money to send back a Morton pen by mail; the money would be sent, but no pen at all would be returnee nerally, how- ever, spurions pens would be palmed off on unsus- ted machinery pro- y. Envious ud, aware of s peeting individuals. To remedy all this Mr. Morton has decided to sell his pens only at his store, No. 25 Maiden-lane, or through his authorized ts, who are, in all cascs, provided with an official certificato from headquar- ters, and with a good stock of the Morton pens. In this way purch d only buy goods that they can previously examine for themselves. The writing public may thercfore hereafter purchase their pens from Mox ents with a calm faith and a York Evening Post. his or hecurity .- NEW-YORK, 11, 1807 Mr. Morron @ The manual labor of writing had always been difficult and painful to me. Ihad never been able to purchase & gold pen adapted to my hand ; enills were too coarse and soon wore out, and steel peas were harsh and stiff. In Maceh, 189, after half an hour’s experimenting, you selested a gold pen for me, as flexible as a quill and as fme as I wanted. 1 had never found any- thing with which I could write balf so easily before. But 1lost it in California, and for a few months scratehed away as best I could with steel pens. On the day afier reaching New-York again, with yonr aid I found another gold pen in your establishment as good as ihe first. I have used it daily ever sinee, and now write these lines with it, with an ease to which T was a stranger befare I met you two years ago. One of my friends adopted your pens from the same cause and with the same results. I am confi- dent that you can fit any hand, however cramped, and help any writer, however hard to suit, Faithfally yours, ALBERT D. RICHARDSON, Monrton's Gorn Pexs—Mr. Morton, who 18 an old friend of TwisvNe readers, makes his u;-r-umuru again this morning in our advertising columns. Our opinion of his pens has been too eften expresse ‘f to be doubtful, but we take n pleasure in saying once more that we know of no gold {u ns in the world equal to those manufactured by Mr. Morton. We have used them for more years than we care to remember, and wo h; sent many thousands of them to fricnds who were extending our circulation. There never was but ono testimony y write with unequaled ease and if you choose, with quite f a quill,” and thewr durability the nicety of their work reason for this perfection, Mr, ¢ made by machinery of his own invention, of the most costly and delicate constru tion, which enable him to make pens at once bett and che; 1 can be fabricated by hand.
