I N presenting the AUTOMATIC OKGAN, we
i boldly announce the greatest triumph in musi-
cal instruments Of the age. During the past hall
century, the French and Germans have manufac-
tured reed Instruments with double bellows, and
two pedals for the feet to operate bat the want OF
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, (Which 10 the
only bellows used in our instruments,) made it i'm,
possible for them to produce the mellow, rich and
musical tone for which our instruments are eele-
brated. 30
Another objection to this method of blowing
was, that both feet being occupied, no opPortuni-
~ was offered for the Management of the swell
Within the past two yeans, instrvme.ss ecnssrest-
ed on this Enropesn plan Of I" double oloWen,
have been manufactured in this country, and 20
eounteract this difficulty (want Of sweii) lever
has been projected from the centre of the instrs
ment, to act upon the swell, and operated by the
knee. The inconveuienee and contertion necss
sary to effect this object, are disagreeabe enough
TO gentleman, but TO q lady the use OF such an
appendage is nearly impossible. sz
Our Autmatic device obviates this difficulty en-
tirely, the simple act Of blowing with more less
force giving the desired increase decrease in
the volume of tone. For seventeen years the
superior excellence of our Mslodeons has not
been questioned, and for two years past the snor-
nous demand has made it impossible for us to
meet our orders promptly. With our increased
facilities, we feel warranted in assuring pat
rons that their orders will be promptly met, and
solicit continuance of their patronage.

CELEBRATED
Wrought Iron Fire-Proofs,
LOCKS AND AULT DOORS

These Fire proofs are Manufactured to supply
demand for Sscarity Against Fire, less expensive
than my Celebrated and Superior Chilled and
Wrought Iroa Burglar and fire-Proof Safes.
They furnish similar and equal security to the
Safes generally Manufactured in the different cit
ies, but are Superior to them in their Fire-Prooi
qualities and durability, the Iron being efectuay
protected from rust in any climate, and the Fire
Proof not subject TO lese lie utility by age. Th,
10 an important advantage gained to the purchase
safes often rust out and become WORTHLESS. IL
two or three years.
To sabstansiate my position, those purchasing
these Fire-Proofs are At liberty, by giving me dVe
notice Of time and place of tnal, to test them By
Ere with any other Safe of the same size and
should they not prove superior, 1 will refund th.
money, or a new Fire-Proof, as the purchase
may decide.

custom which threatens altogether to
superseJe the old fashioned albnm.
which had got to be snch horrid bore.
An elegant volume is sent you, entitled

Questions to which you are to return
AN answer. The book thus filed, affords
Your friends considerable amount of
amusement. The questions thus. asked
are as follows: Your favorite virtues,
your (avorile qualities in man; ditto in
woman; your favorite occupation;
your chief characteristic; your idea OF
happiness; your idea OF misery; your
tavorite color and flower. If not
yourself whom you would be; where
you would like to live; your fayorite
prose authors; your favorite poets;
your favorite painters and composers;
your fayorite heroes in real life; your
tavorite heroines in real life; your
favorile heroes in fiction; your favorlte

present state of mind is; for what fault
yon have most toleration-your favorss
ite MOTTO OF course, little hatte-y
is allowable and expected. Ii a lady
asks you where you would like to live,
while the prosaic writes on "a grave[
SOIL" the gay cavalier replies, "With
YOU" He is also to be forgiven, if,
in answer to the question of your idea
of happiness, he replies, "ro look at
you;" or gives the lady's name, when
asked his iavorite name.

Night yields at last 10 dawn;
We may not always grieve;
Though, when the clouds be gone.
Tneir shadows still! they leave.
The memory of the hour,
Which brorght the souls worst pain,
Hath still mourniui power
Upon the troubled brain
The peace shat follows slow,
Is peace within the shade;
Sweet, but without the glow,
That once our rapture made.
A twilight of the heart
Not dusk, nor partly bright;
We see the day depart,
But feel it is not night.
Some rosy tints that CLEAN

And bless US though they fly.
The dawn that wakes the dav,
Brings the gay sun no morlg
But, i'll his mider ray,

On loves lad vessel blown.

The real object Of education is, to
give children resources that will endure
as long as life enduses; habits that will
ameliorate but not destroy; occupation
that will render sickness tolerable,
solitude pleasant, age venerable, life
more dgnitied and useful, and death
less terrible.
