A WORD TO TUB UNEMPLOYED.

We refer to the Patent Centennial Cake and Bread Pan, with which by simply raising a hoek, you can remove the of the pan from the cake instantly, •without breaking or injuring it in the least, thus enabling you to ice and frost It while warm. To remove the tube In the center, insect a knife in the slot In the top of the tube, and simply give It a half turn, and it will dropout. It Is also provided witb a slide on the bottom, so that, when you temove the tube, you can close the hole, making a pan with plain bottom, for baking jelly and plain cakes, pudding, bread, etc., thus practically giviug you two pans forth# price or one.

The book is a 12mo., of 220 pages, is now hand­ somely printed, and will be mailed free of postage, on receipt of one dollar. Address O. (L Brurgs, Publisher, 141 Eighth Street New York. Please read what some of the leading papers •»y: {From the New York Daily Witness.) "It Is an exceedinglv graphic account of a brief prison life. Mr. favne certainly has the faculty of making others"see and feel as he has felt and seen, and we lind food for amusement as well as sympathy inside prisou walls." {From the Jersey City Evening Journal.) "Mr. Seth Wilbur Payne's new book 'Behind themrs,' is unquestionably the most thrill­ ing work that has come from the press of this country during the present year. It abounds in pathos, and it is impossible for any one to read some of its chapters with dry eyes. We have no doubt this work will meet with a large sale and thonsaudsof spell-bound readers." (from the Neiv York Herald.) ••It Is a very interesting book and gives some hints of prison life which are valuable." (From the New York &tir) "Prison literature includes many of the greatest monuments of human genius. Bun- van wrote his 'Pilgrim's Progress' while iu Jail; Raleigh composed his 'History of the World' in prison, and Seth Wilbur Payne wrote •Behind the Bars' while in the same unpleas­ ant predicament While employed in scrub- bingthe pavements and sweeping the floorsof his temporary abode, he managed to interview as many of nis companions as possible, and wrote out their stories for this book. The work ts unique in style as well as subject, and tells many wholesome truths." {From the New York World.) "Its matter is interesting and the story well told." {From the Jersey City Herald.) "Behind the Bars' is a thorough-going, de­ tailed and nervous account of the author's awn experience, his trials and hardships, and those of other -prisoners •«!i:ring--hi-? confine­ ment of eleven weeks in the Albany Peniten­ tiary. Mr. Pavn« was sent to prison for one of the noblest acts of man, defending a betrayed m4 ruined woman from the assaults of a cor- rift «<»urt." iProm the Hoboken N. J. News.) •The author presents his views with such a • Vebarming and inimitable frankness and good hnmor, that we are spell-bound while perns- Ing his prison experiences. It has all tlie vi­ vacity of anovel, glowing with life aud radient with "beauty," (JFrom the Nexr York Evening Mail.) "Mr. Payne's new book is verv interesting and should be generally read. His story and those of other prioners whom he interviewed Ore directly and forcibly told." Itis published in handsome st vie bo O. R BRICCS A CO., 141 Eighth Street N. Y PRICE ONE DOLLAR.
