To see the mountains wooded heights appear
Dark in the early dawn, and marx It's slope

Pleasant at noon beside the vocal brook
To Law me down and watch the floating clouds,
And shape to fancy's Wild sinilitudes

To drive NV flock at evening to the fold,
And hasten to my little hut, and hear

Pines introduced in Cabinet Organs.

Mr.. Carl Fogelberg, Swedish Organ
builder, has succeeded i'll combining
pipes with reeds; rendering it possible
to use both in Cabinet Organs, and has
secured patents for his invention in the
United States. The Importance of dong
this has long been appreciated, but here
tofore it has been found impracticable,
the difficulty arising from the fact that
pipes vary in pitch with every change of
temperature, while reeds do not, so that
a change of ten or fifteen degrees made
il impossible to use them together. In
struments which have been advertised as
Pipe Cabinet Organs have contained no
real speaking pipes, but only limitations
of some sort. Mr.. Fogelberg uses gen
uine wood pipes of the best quality.
The substance of his invention is an
arrangement by which the pipes, when
out OF tune from a change of tempera-
ture. can be simultaneously and in
stantly restored to the same pitch with
the reeds, by the turning of a single
screw.
The Mason Hamlin Organ Co. have
been thoroughly testing Mr.. Fogel-
berg's inventions, and it is understood,
are satisfied of their value, and will soon
offer them to the public. If pipes
are successfully combined with reeds,
it will be the most important improve
ment ever made in Cabinet Organs. Com.

DEATH or A VENERABLE CITIZsS.-Another
old and esteemed citizen of Richmond has
departed this life. Mr.. Jaquclin P. Taylor
died at hisresidence, on the corner of fTwelfth
and Capitol streets, on Sunday morning. The
deceased was native Of Buckingham county,
and came to Richmond at very early age.
From the time of his arrival here until few
years ago he was actively engaged in busi-
ness. by strict integrity, unfaltering appli-
cation, and excellent habits, he early took q
prominent position in mercantile life, and
not only won character for probity that
was almost synonymous with his name, but
accumulated Il considerable fortune, which
not long ago he retired to enjoy.
The death of Mr.. Taylor was sudden. On
Saturday he reached his seventy-fifth year,
and in honor of the event entertained few
old friends and relatives at dinner. That
night he applied himself with accustomed
diligence to an examination Of some accounts
Of the late William Barrett, of whose estate
he was the executor. He retired feeling fee
BILE, but not complaining Of unusual indispo-
sition. On the next morning, however, he
awoke at about O'Clock, and it was noticed
that he breathed heavily, and remarked that
he felt oppressed. Presently he called for
some Jamaica ginger, and it was given him
by his sister. DR.. Coakley, the nearest ply
sician, was then sent for, but on his arrival
found Mr.. Taylor dying. His death was pain
less and peaceful.
