MUSIC AND UTILITY!

A POLIO once harp possessed,
IA And well that harp could strike,
While music nowadays of the best,
Can never boast its like.
But yet burst of mellow notes
win sometimes reach the eur,
Which through the air vibrating foats
Luxuriant, soft, and clear.
Voluptuous strains, re-echoing rife
With sympathetic glow,
Oft speak in all the walks Of life,
Both to the high aud low.
The music Of this simple truth
Is soothing Inv "7nese Times"
II when we wish TO cheer the heart,
We invoke the music in rhymes.
1t cheers one much, these words to read,
Who know, in sooth, 'tis go
ssaIy GOODS were bought with cash-indoed
My Goods were bought quite low"
Such is the course we now pursue,
With object firm and steady,
To buy our Goods with cash, tits tfuess
And sell them for the ready!
And If the inference you would kaow,
And understand the wherefore:
We buy Goods cheap, and sell them "a,
And ask the ready, therefore.
And every Steamboat from below
Shall bring us something new,
f0r comfort, fancy, taste, or show,
Which please to call and view.
Well cell at wholesale very cheap!!
The same at retail, too!
While we receive the "Yeilosc DJps,"
Or Bullion white or blue.
To all the Ladies, young and old,
| Around US maay miles,
| Come give lrle Of your gold,
And take our goods with smiles
And gentlemen, we fain would say,
From high to low degree,
Come let US sell you goods This day,
For gold, 'tis currency!!!!
Our Farmers, too, will understand,

| Well buy Produce from off their land,
! Their butter and their cheese.
In selling cheap, we say to all,
Wesvill not be outdone:
We wish to see you-please to call
And ask you, one by one.
And If you do not like our rhymes,
Perhaps you'll like our ware;
Wen sell il all to suit the times:

CrRcUNsTANTrAL EVIDENCE.

The following statement OF IN actual &C
currence, (savs the New York Amerlcan,)
translated for that paper by the Deutsche
Schaellpost, well eXempliies how unjustly
a combination Of circumstances may some
times accuse man:
"At table d'hote at Ludwigs6urg, one
Of the company was showing very rare
gold coin, which was passed round the ia
bic on a plate. and gave rise to many sup
positions as TO its age, country, value, &c.
The conversation then gradually branched
of to other subjects till the coin was for
gotten, and on the owner asking for it
back, to the surprise of all it was not to
be found. \ gentleman sitting at the foot
Of the table was observed to be IN much
agitation, and, as his embarrassment SEEM
ed to increase with the continuance OF the
search, the company we're about to pro-
pose 4 very djsagroeabIe measure, when
suddenly a waiter entered the room, say
ing Here is the coin the cook has Just
found it in one Of the finger glasses The
relief to all was manifest; and now the
suspected stranger spoke for the first time
as follows Gentlemen, none of you can
rejoice more than myself at the recovery
Of the coin; for picture TO yourselves my
painful situation: by a singular coincidence
have a duplicate of the very same coin in
my purse (hcre showing it to the compa-
n.y. The idea that, on the personal
search which would probably be proposed,
| would be taken for a purloiner Of the
coin, added to the fact that am a stranger
here, with 40 one to youch for my integri.
tv, had almost driven me distracted. The
