The beautiful Piano Fortes of GRovEsrEEN
& Co., are deemed by all good judges to be the
Ultima Thule of instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make
a musical instrument more perfect, although
we are slow to admit that the limit of i'm
|provement can ever be attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to
their present excellence, they had submitted
them to competition with instruments of the
best makers of this country and Europe, and
received the reward of merit, over all others.
at the celebrated Werld's Fair. 1t is but ius.
tice to say that the judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied
by them to their Pianos, it is admitted that a
more perfect instrument has been made
They have accordingly achieved the paradox
of making excellence more excellent. Sure
ly, after this, they are entitled to the motto,
..Excelsior," may29.

goers ia nearly all communities. What
q pity:
Some 60 there just for walk,
Some go there to laugh and talk,
Some go there the time to spend,
Some go there to meet friend,
Some go to learn the parsons name,
Some go there to wound his fame,
Some 60 there for speculation,
Some go there for observation,
Some 60 there to doze and nod,
But few go there to worship God.
