Love FOR THE DEAD..-The love that
survives the tomb, says Irving, is one
Of the noblest attributes Of the soul. II
it has its woes, it has likewise its de
lights, and when the Overwhelming
burst Of grief is Gained into the gentle
tear Of recollection, then the sudden an
guish and convulsed agony over the
present ruins Of all that we most loved
sre..softened away into pensive meditation
on all that was in the day Of its lowell.
ness. Who would root sorrow from the
heart, though it may sometimes throw
passing cloud over the bright hour Of
gayety, OF spread deeper sadness ovet
the hour Of gloom yet who would ex.
change it for even the song of pleasure
or the burst of reveIry? No, there is &
voice from the tomb sweeter than song
there is remembrance Of the dead to
which we turn even from the charm Of
the living.

SOUTHERN MANUFAcTUREs.-It has been prim-
object with us since this journal first establish
ed, to impress our people with the advantage.
first, of countenancing local manufactures; and
secondly, when these did not exist, to at least
make their investments in the South as near home
possible. 1t is now settled that any article of
manufacture which neither our sister city
can supply may be obtained from our Baltimore
neighbors. In the matter of pianos for instance,
the idea has prevailed for an indefinite length of
time, even among those protesting musical know
ledge, that nc piano is fit for unless it bears
some European stamp, or the impress of New York
or Boston, At last, however, Baltimore house
has demonstrated the absurdity of such conclu-
sions We have reference to the establishment of
Messrs. Newman, Bro. & Sons, whose capacious
factory and warerooms, located at $40, 512, SIS
and 522, west Lombard street, corner of Oregon
This firm is certainly achieving a success rarely
attained in any field of enterprise. Their pianos
in point of tone, quality, fnish durability and
price, will compare favorably with those of any
other mandatory, European American. Of
one of their grand pianos recently tested by an
eminent professor, writer says:
"We have listened to many similar instruments,
but to none superior; Its volume, richness and
touched by the fingers of the performer, impaired
sounds mpressivey sweet and lasting upon the ear.
This instrument is gotten up with the double
sounding board, invented by the Messrs Newman
and patented in 1857, and is inaid with pearl"
However, this is only one of a number of pat.
terms, and as all the different varieties are of supe
rior make, we may anticipate for these gentlemen
an enlarged success as their establishment becomes
better rknown.-Portsmoath Va.) Transcript.
