WE ARE AT LAST ABLE to announce
the opening Of Sheib's music store, I'M
der Washington Hall, in a tasteful]y
fitted up room, adjoining Browns jew
elry store. 1t will hardly be necessary
to describe the store, as our renders will
see it for themselves; but we shall in
terest by describing the intended mode
OF doing business there. All the pianos,
organs, melodeons, etc, are Of the very
best manufacture and materials, and are
fully warranted. Every instrument,
whether high or low priced, new or
secondhand, is offered upon the renting
plan, So that the amount paid as rent
applies 10 the purchase {" the instru.
ment. This plan is especially conve-
nient to those persons who have a GER
tain salary each month, or who do not
wish to to draw large amount at once
iOlll tItlI IusluesS. LclHCe lUt lUtTO-
ducton Of this new plan, scores OF per-
sons are NV owners Of a piano or
organ, who would otherwise he without
one. In these days OF refinement and
culture, no home, be it ever 30 hum
ble,' is complete without a piano or
organ, with which to sweeten the hours
Of leisure and rest; and now, through
the renting plan, there is no excuse for
any one not having an instrument.
Any of our readers desiring to purchase
will find Mr., Sheib affable, courteous
and at all times ready to explain the
plan further. All instruments are sold
at far less than customary eastern or
western prices.

In memory Of Mrs. VIRGINIA SMITH, who
died March 18th, 1850.
Alas eleven years have passed away.
And by the will Of Him who rule,
Lies but a brief stay
Though in memory this recalls
The scenes of other days.
And oft recalling memories roll
or the brightest of whom WAS given.
Nor do We now rs one recall
The jewels that are in heaven
And angels tens Of thousands
Appearing ut the call
Methinks l see in heavens host
The brightest of them Of all
y lovely one with with babe in arms
Before lis thong II we may fall,
Yet ever hoping to greet yuu
When death do lis both call.
And may we speak of one so pure
OF this earth, excepting none,
We feel to this no liliul love
Could be more dotted on.
Though thy loss we always mourn
As any that were given
And though the casket moulder here,
Thy spirit is in hcaven-
And yet eleven years have vanished,
Your presence to us the same,
And never will be obliterated
AS long rs earth its Name.
Now saintcd child unknown to IL
In world that's free from strife,
1t is to us u blessing
When we think of your happy life.
And though time and place may change
As beings they in time,
We to-day stand stcadfast
And you ever in our mind
Now dear one, rs diamonds bright.
Torn from parents love,
To join the many millions
In pr:liSing the God above.
