~ JONAS CHICKERING'S PIANOS.
IIIST RECEIVED ner haraues Marylanl

1UST RECEIVED. per barques Maryland
u and Nickerson, from Boston, and per transport
tation line from New York, further supply OF six
pianos.--These with the pianos lately received,
form the largest and most elegant assortment ever
offered in this city. Magnificent Louis NV. and
Central Pianos, from the long-established and
world-renowned factory Of Jonas Chickering, Bos-
ton, from the old and celebrated factory OF Bacon
N Raven, New York. and from other approved
New York manufactures.
In this assortment every scale and style OF pi-
amos may be found, at prices from $500 10 $500.
Persons desiring the celebrated Chickering'S
pianos, will remember that the factory OF Jonas
Chickering, Boston, which has been in existence
for more than thirty years, never supplies but one
dealer in each city, and that. for years, the sub
scriber has had the sole privilege for this city.
This explanation is necessary, as another person
named Chickering has set up Piano Factory IN
Boston.
The hundreds Of pianos sold by the subscriber
sufficiently attest the quality Of his instruments
and his moderate prices.
Secondhand pianos taken in part payment for
new ones
large stock of guitars, violins: flutes, accorde-
ons, &c.
New music received semi-weekly
By the barque Sylph, which sailed from Boston
on the Sth instant will be received an additional
supply of pianos. RlCHD: DAVIS,

away, my boy. / shall look in tomorrow as /
pass to see how you are getting on"
He called the next morning, and found the
leather for his boots cut out, the lasts prepared,
and honest John commencing operations.
While giving his final directions, Squire Sum.
mer again unexpectedly made his appearance,
accompanied, as on the previous day, by John
with Poll.
"Bless me, sir" said Penny, is it your
eyes, Mr.. Penny, I've come again, returned
the squire, I" with this diabolical bird; not a
moments peace have we had
What do you find her talk too much, sir?'
inquired the shoemaker, with great simplicity.
"Talk too much?" said the squire, "the
talked at all. Put her in her old place, john"
"Don't look spruce on my Neddy, whistled
Poll.
"Oh, hang you! you have found your tongue"
said the squire, Shave you! but am not to be
done third time; keep your bird, MIR. Penny,
I wish you JOY of her."
"But I've spent the money you gave me for
her" said honest John, Sand don't exactly know
when shall be able to pay it back again"
"Oh, never mind the money, only release me
from such a torment as this, and I'll put up
with the loss the best can"
Poor John was somewhat reluctantly pre-.
vailed upon to take back the bird, and pocket
the affront Of its return, as well as he might.
Poll was, therefore, again restored to her for
mer situation, looking very wise; and as the
disappointed landlord departed with his man
John, much chagrinned at the result of his
purchase, being himself character mo means
accustomed to buying things at a loss, Poll
could not help giving him fling as he went,
as if to quicken his movements, by singing out,
in great glee-
ing this exhortation with loud laugh.
"Well, said Mr.. Penny, as soon as they were
fairly out of hearing, "it's an i'll wind that
blows nobody good had not been seized for
"Pretty, pretty Poll-pretty Poll.n "What's
o'clock, what's o'clock? ~ said he, coaxingly.
whats o'clock, what's o'clock" was echoed
by all the children, who had crept in on the
departure of the Squire Poll was, however,
deaf to the call of the charmer.
Bless me-" cried John, " has the bird grown
sulkey all in a hurry? Why, it won't talk
now"
"It will talk as much as ever" said Macmil
Ian, laughingly. "The fact is, as the farce is
finished, and there is no money returned,
may as well, to prevent you puzzling your
brains any further, let you behind the curtains
friend Penny-reveal the secrets of the prison
house. You are indebted to your Poll and
your partner Joe, for the payment Of your rent,
and your being once set up in business; there
is your Poll, and here is your partner, Joe. To
prevent her speaking by rote, or rather, not
speaking at all, spoke for her, and, as it ap-
pears, to good purpose"
81 see it all, !" replied John, upon whose mind
the truth now flashed like lightning.
