The success OF tie Mason Il Hamlin Organ
Company, now the largest manufacturers of
instruments of this class in the world, produc-
ing and finding a demand for an average ofone
hundred and twenty-five organs per week, IL
Illustrates what can be done by energetic and
persevering pursuit of right principles in BUSH
ness. The following are what may be said to
be Articles OF their Constitution, kept always
in view, and never deviated from:
/. Excellence in the manufactured article
must never be sacrificed to economy in cost.
The best, only and always.
?. No degree of superiority shall be consid-
cred satisfactory rs long as Improvement is
possible.
3. The of every valuable invention and
real improvement must be obtained at what
ever cost.
4. Productions To be sold At lowest possible
prices; these to be printed and offered to all
alike, thus dealing fairly and impartially with
the public.
This Company have expended immense
amount i'll experiments for improvements, in
which they have been greatly successful, de-
yeloping, charging, improving, and adding TO
the we'll known Melodeons Of former times,
until they have become the magnificent mason

This road running from ST. Louis To Indian
apoIis Is termed BY railroad officials the Fast
Line between st. Louis and New York.
Their Lightning Express tram leaves East
st. Louis at 2 40 p. and runs through 10
s:2O the following morning at AN average speed
OF 20 miles per hour, including stops Tor chang
ing engines, meals, &c, Nc.
Under the present mana cement who have
had control OF the road for the past year, they
have relaid nearly the whole length OF the line
with new iron, and with the addition Of new
engines and fine coaches OF the latest and most
improved pattern they have placed their road
ut the head OF the list and to-day i. one OF the
most ably managed and safest roads in the
country.
The officers Of this Dad are all young men
With large railroad experience and indetaiisa-
bic energy, who believe that to secure bust
ness they must offer to the public superior in
duccments. They now IAN their fast express
trains each way daily, and few, If any, roads
show faster running with the same certain
ty and regularity. From records in the Gen
eral Offices we learn that their trains have
missed connections but once in over seven
months.
Mr.. Z. ID. Herkimer, the General Superln-
tendcnt Is ably seconded by Mr.. J. {. NOyes,
General Freight Agent, ana Jno. S. Garland,
General Passenger Agent, gentlemen too wide
~ known in railroad circles to need word Of
praise from us.
To passengers to and from St. Louis, who
desire speed and comfort, take the splendid
trains OF the indianapolis and ST. Louis Rail-
road.

IMPORTANCE OF PUNCTUALITY.

After much torturing experience
1 come to this, that nine in ten do not
know the value of time, nor the
morality of promise. Why is not
an engagement to meet me at nine
O'Clock as sacred as any bond? Why
is not the understanding that a
church sery ice or a lecture common
ces at the given hour, an acceptance
on your part, if you go, of an agree
ment, and why are you false to it by
your hardness, and why are you not
bad friend because of all the little
miseries your infidelity entails2 The
world, intercourse, affection, great
affairs, little details are cursed pros
perity, temper, character, life jeop-
arded, lost by want of punctuality.
Unpunctual people are everywhere,
and everything encourages them.
1t is taken for granted that nothing
will be"on time,n and so everybody
holds off to insure it. The first
ten minutes of religious service are
apt to be a martyrdom to preachers
and punctual people. There ought
to be some continuance by which
the tardy shall be made as uncomfor-
table as they, and .they might hope
a change. But in this world it 100
much happens that Il comfortable
stolidity,posSesses the suflerings come
upon those who must take their
comfort out in doing their duty.

"Why," said Allie, 81 thought
you were very poor"
sIhave not finished yet" said
Richard, smiling. Last fall" con-
tiued he, ~ found myself able to sup
port wife in elegant style; and,
with my heart beating fast with hope
and fear, | went back to OakVille
and called at YOU fathers door.
Madge answered my call, but she did
not know me, and l asked her con-
corning the family. She told me of
the death of your parents, and that
you were in New York city to spend
the winter. She gave me your direc-
ton, then added that she heard you
had found a nice lover there and were
going tomarry him. fastened back
to the city, my fears increased and my
hopes diminished. / did not call at
my fathers house, but planned little
ruse for proving your affection and
nobleness of heart. Mrs. Green, who
lives in this house, has been my
laundress for years, and is kind and
honest woman. 1 told my plan to
her, and engaged her little son Ben,
to assist me. You know the rest,
Allie but you do not know how anx-
iously awaited the result, nor what
a flood of happiness ran through my
heart when l felt your lips upon my
brow. Now, Allie, can you forgive
me?
There was a rosy blush on the
cheeks of the young girl, and a proud
er light came into her eyes.
'tYes, yes, forgive you, Richard ;
but had L known that you were a
wealthy gentleman 1 would have
been less demonstrative."
"Then ! have fresh reason to pe
glad that L played an untruth but
/ forgot to tell you that j have been
sick, and am at last re covering.
Richard walked home with Allie
that night, and her young friend
declared that, Mr.. Crindall was the
finest-looking and most genteel
young man she had seen in the city
They were married in the merry
month of June, and Allie wore the
diamond pin upon her bosom, and
forever after thanked God that she
had waited for Richard Crindall-

4 LIBERAL OFFER FROM THE A p
PLEroSs-FnRE FOUNDATIONS FOR LIBRARIEs
COMMUNICATIVE establishment OF libraries
by charitable endowment, or the cooperation
of intelligent public-sprited citizens, is a sub
ject that should receive general attention. As
purifier of morals, means of popular edu-
cation, relief of crowded prisons and aims
houses, direct pfoIl otter OF the peace, happI-
ness, and wealth OF communities, the public
library ranks with the church and the school
1t appears, from signs cropping out here and
there, especially IN the West rs if the times
were propitious for the furtherance of this great
work. Such, at least, is the conviction enter
tanned by ID. Appleton & Co., who have re
ceivcd, recently, many inquiries from differ
ent States, asking to he informed as to the best
method OF founding libraries, and selecting
books. In response to the wide spread feeling
thus shown To exist upon the subject, and to
give it powerful impulse. they have deter
mined 10 offer direct and substantial encOur
agement for the formation of public libraries
in ali part. OF the United States. The plan
which they propose is, IN scope, Hberality and
precise adaptation to the beneficent end sought
10 be accomplished, unparalleled in the history
OF public enterprises. 1t il as follows:
The AppletonS offer to give free, what may
be called the foundation tor libraries every
where. They viii present TO each club of per-
sons DESTROYS of forming public library
complete set, in 10 volumes, of their standard
New American Cyclopadia. This great ma
tionA work, the only publication OF the kind,
is one which organizers ofi:brsries usually buy
first of all books, because it is the most
often consulted by persons OF all classes and
vocations in search of reliable information on
all Kinds of topics Sixteen large octave vol
umes, Containing many thousand pages Of the
most valuable reading matter, for the pur-
chase of which they would ordinarily spend
their money they therefore receive for Moth
ing. In ons sense, the Cyclopedia is IN Itself
a library; 81 that from the start, the clubs will
have the better part OF what they wanted for
nothing The only return asked by the donors
for this nunifeent gift is, that the club shall
proceed IL raise and eXpend not lssH than five
hundred dollars to buy ether books In other
words that The clul, shall build the suI.ersirlc
ture tAe foundation laid by the Appiefoi.s-
In the selection of suitable books ay hands eX
perieneed for many years ia the making Of IL
braFies, the Appletons will rens.er all the as
sistance required, and supply the books at the
usual discount The Cyclopaelit thus becomes
literally GIN.
