We were shown some days since ct there's
idence OF Hon. Ben. NJ. Piatt, the FIRST Piano
forte brought to Ohio. It 10 vsry delioate,
aged looking concern, and retains little
tinky voice, as if cracked by time. The keys
are yellow, shrunken, and rattle when touched
as if the old instrument were troubled with
the ssthma. On its front we read, "Wm.
Rolp & Son Grand and Square Piano Forte
Makers, Cheapside, London
The little old instrument then had crossed
the stormy seas in sailing vessel, before
steamboats, had been dreamed Of had been
wsgoned over the mountains before the iron
horse and ringing rail had leveled heights
and annihilated distance. 1t had been opened
in Cincinnati, when Joseph Benham, Gen.
Lytle, Rufus King and Van Matre, were
young men about town. II had been listened
to by fair forms, now bent with age, or
Wondering in the dust. The gentle fingers
that had touched it's delicate keys had many
of them long since been mtekly folded upon
hearts stilled in death. What wondrous sto-
ries could the old instrument tell of love
scenes to music, or sorrows that had sought
refuge in the sympathetic harmony Of its
voice. ssMoore's Meiodies' in its palmiest
days we're oil the rage, and hundreds Of times,
doubtlessly, it had rung out soft in the Still

little girl had won . companion for life by
enhancing him with Gloves Young Dream J"
or the "Woodpeoker tapping the hollow beach
tree" Many fair musician had won wide
renown by the startling execution Of the
''Battls Of the Prague"
Since then what changes have taken place.
The village has grown into populous city
the wilderness changed to garden. Cincin-
natl has her beautiful "Opera House," not
only one Of the most striking in the world,
but called into existence by the energy Of one
man. And now every house and cottage has
a piano, the humblest of which would shame
our ancient friend that modestly hid ina cor
ner, would only gather cobwebs and dust,

The Quiet Alumber.

From the Southern Literary Messenger
Lay him gsntly to his rsst--
Fold his pale hands on his breast
From his brow
oh how cold and marble fair
Softly part the tangled hair;
Look upon him now
As weary child he lies,
With the quiet dreamlcas eyes,
Der which the lashes dArkly sweep,
And on his lip the quiet smile
The souls adieu to earthly strife,
And on his face the deep reposc
We never saw in life.
Peaceful be his rest, and deep;
Let him sleep.
No tears Tor him--he needs them not
Along life's drear and toilsome road
Firmly his manly footsteps trod,
Striving TO bear it, weary lot,
Withsuch pride upon his brow,
With such . pain within his heart
The frmness Of tho manly will
Yelling the secret sm art.
Oh it IL we'll the strife il Ger,
That thus 10 peacefully he lies,
Unheeding now the bitter words,
The cold IMPLYING eyes,
FOLD his mantle Ger his brcast-
Peaceful be his sleep and blcst;
Let him rest.
No sigh to breathe above his bier,
No tear to stain the marble brow.
Only with tender plying love,
Only with faith that looks above,
We gaze upon him now.
No thought Of toll and suffering past
But JOY to think the task Is done.
The heavy cross at last laid down,
The crown Of glory won.
Oh ! bear him gently to his rest
Oh gently heap the dowery sod,
And leave his body to the dust,
His spirit to his God

| 1--WE published, says the Louisville
Journal, few days ago an account % ths
arrest in New York of . man named Benef
for poisoning woman With whom hs had
lived for many years % her hueband. The
N. Y. Commercial Advertisers statement Of
the case concludes % follows:
During her illness she was attended By DR..
Otto Rotton, from whom particulars arc OBJ.
tanned which explode the theory OF poisoning
altogether. He states that long before her
death her lungs we're much diseased and that
she drank to such an excess that she would
have dsliriups trsmens. While in this state
she would fancy that she was being poisoned,
and taking dislike to Bemer would charge
him with poisoning her, and this on several
occasions when others were present. This
was one Of the peculiar ideas which are fre-
quent in persons laboring under mania p0-
~, and the Doctor 10 positive that the charge
rests upon no other foundation than that
He is Of opinion that the charge OF poisoning
is utterly groundless, and that il IN investi-
CATION 10 had it will be proven so.
Coroner Horton has ordered tho disinter-
ment OF the body to-day with . view to 49,
certain IL the chargeis correct, and will have
the remains examined il possible. Bemer 10
now in Jail, awaiting the result OF the coro-
ner's invsstig alton. In the absence OF posi-
tive proof Of poisoning, il 10 highly probable
that the theory OF DR.. Otto Rotton 10 correct,
