TO JOHN.
Parted-so these letters tell me,
Coming back again to-day;
Hard il was to scorn. repel thee.
Cast thee and thy love away. :.
Not expected-not deserving,
Came this blow from me to thee;
Yet, though hard and so unnerving,
1 have dealt 1t falteringly.
Severed-and thy dream is broken;
Parted-and the work was mine.
And the lips whose rash words spoken
Melted out my fate and thine.
Are pleading now to be forgiven,
With the heart that wears their blight.
Long in trial had striven
To be suidcd by the right.
'Twere better thus to undeceiye thee,
Ere the heart-ties grew too strong;
This is all that can retrieve me Z
When you'll doubtless deem me wrong.
Awakened's every tender feeling;
Pride-immovable before
Bends before thee, loud appealing
For the peace thou must restore.
And wilt thou in wrath return me
Wrong for wrong in equal part?
I. though cruel. would not spurn thee
When gave thee back thy heart.
Let us not part now forever
With Swallowed memories of each.
But let this peaceful. kind endeavor
To both future lesson teach.
Now, plead, do not regret me.
Unworthy even of a sigh
Is she who can ne'er forget thee
As the golden years roll by.
Partel--follows thee my blessing
That thy dreams of future bliss.
In their tender heart caressing.

THALBERG,S OPINION

IHhLDEhU . VI INION,
I consider Chickering Il Sons Pianos be-
yond comparison, the best / have seen in
America. IS. TIIALBERG,
"Chair'n Jury on Musical instruments"
Among the chief points of excellence of the
Chickering Pianas, of which speak the re-
mails to the Messrs. Chickering, are the greatest
possible depth, richness and volume of tone
combined with rare brilliancy, clearness and
perfect evenness throughout the entire scale
and, above all, a surprising duration Of sound
the pure and sympathetic quality of which
never changes under the most delicate or pow
erful touch.
During the past forty-three years this firm
has manufactured
