TIE MERITS OF THE GOLDEN TONGUE
BY NEW JERSEY BARD TO BEATTY And PLOTS,
WASHINGTON, y. }.
IT'S an aye of invention, improvement and skill,
The worlds in commotion, ard nothing is still !;
And progress in written wherever we turn
So ! ''the ball is kept rolling and each day we
learn
OF some new achievement in science or art;
Each branch Of industry in fact claims part.
So each ia awarded prize from the hands
OF a generous public as merit demands.
So music's department can point, in her pride,
To men of true genius, whose fame has gone
wide
Der hills and through valleys, in mansions and
and cots.
Well, due are such honors to "BeGtty f Plots,
Whose Golden Tongue organ stands first in the
land
The first as 70 merit, and first in demand.
EXceling iu sweetness and richness OF tone.
Surprising all others, aud standing alone.
Its worth is acknowledged wherever It is known,
As all will bear witness, and checrfully one
For equal in Workmanship, beauty, design,
Or finish, they challenge the best in th" line.
Where faces were gloomy, and hearts once were
What homes are now chcerfui-ycs, happy and
glad.
Continue thy mission. thv song Golden Tongue
Hath chains of enchantment for old and for
young.
Beatty & Plotts' celebrated Golden Tongue
Parlor Organ is acknowledged by eminent pro-
fcssors of music TO be the best Parlor Organ now
in use. Thousands of testimonials are constant
" being received in favor of them, which 90 to
show that our instrument gives entire satisfar
ti1n.

rs THE SHOP OF THE TOWN - and long
i has been !; ask history and she will tell you
Men have grown old in our patronage
Babies on their mothers breast
To bouncing boys at play;
And youths by maidens fair caressed,
To stalwart men with cares oppressed,
And old men silver gray.
And among the honored and lasting impress
siOns of time, and the crash of revolutions in
circumstances, we stand living monumental
mementO of the ingenuity and perseverance ap-
pertaining to the identity of progression, Plying
our vocation with the highest style of art and
perfection, and aspiring to achieve the highest
reward of merit attainable in our humble capaci-
ty, and the sentiment Of respect and appreciation
which the presence of superior appliances and es-
tablishment are always wont to inspire.
Always to please
We shave with case
Cut and comb with taste the hair;
Shampoo the head with soothing cure,
And color the whlskers black or brown,
To suit the people about the town.
Then allow me politely request you to stop,
And not 90 past nor from around our shop.
To get shaved on the basis of ability-nor as
ciple-sacred and right--nor under the common
ion for the cut of mans coat, or the color of
his qualifications A fair chance is all that we
demand, to give the proof to ali the land.

ed for the purposcd of removing the pressure
from the valve as it exists at pesent, we will

over half an hour.
~ 1t is Indispensable at the mines where hoist

We ali got corned, and signed the pledge IT,.
- Fur to drink no more that year.
There was Iflman Joy and Sheriff M'Phai,,
IA And me and Abner Fry,
And Shelby's boy Leviticus,
~ And the G0lyers-Luke and Cy.
And we anteed up hundred,
In the hands o. Deacon Hedge,
Fur to oe divided the foerin' Fo'th
'Mongst the boys that KEEP the pledge:
And we knowed each other SO well, Squire,
You may take nv scalp for fool
Eff every man when he signed his name
Didn't feel dead sure OF the pool
Fur while it all went lovely;
Weput up job next day
Fur to make JOY b'lieve his wife was dead,
And he went home middln gay.
Then Abner Fry he killed man,
And afore he was hung. MPhaii
Jest bilked the widow outen her sheer
By gsttin him slowed III jail.
But Christmas scooped the Sheriff
The eggnoggs gathered him in
And Shelby's boy Levitlcps
Was New Yeal' tight as SIM.
And along in March the Golyers
Got SO drunk that fresh billed owl
Would "a looked 'longside O. them two young men,
Like q sober temperance fowl.
Four months alone walked the chalk;
/ thought my heart would break,
And all them bows -slappin' my back,
And akin, "What'n You take?"
never sleot without dreamin' dreams
OF Bnrbin, Peach, or Rye,
But chawed at my Niger head, and swore
I'd rake that pool or die.
At last-the Foth-I bumped my self
Through chores and breakfast soon,
Then SEQ tied down to Taggarts store,
For the pledge was of at noon;
And all the boys was gethered thar,
And each man hit his glass, 80,
Watchin' me and the clock quite solemn llke'
Fur to see the last minute pass.
The clock struck twelve! raised the jug,
And took one lo,in pull
/ was holler clar from skull to boots,
1t seemed couldn't git full
But was reused bv hendlsh laugh
That might have raised the dead
Them ornary sneaks had sot the clock
A half an hour ahead!
Gan right" Isquawked, you've got me;
Jest order your drinks agin.
And we'll paddle up to the Dsacon's
And scoop the ante in.''
But when we got to Hedges,
What sight was that we saw!
The Deacon and Parson Skeeters
In the tail of game of Draw.
They had shook em the heft of the mornin';
The Parsons luck was far,
And he raked, the minute we got thar,
The last of our pool on par.
So no more temperance for me, Squire;
low it's all very fine,
But ez fur myself, l thank ye,
I'll not take any in mine.

EXPLOSIONS.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec "a, 1873.
i SELDOM if ever, pick up newspaper without
Il seeing, among the first items that arrest my at
tention, the record of terrible boiler explosion.
Very many causes assigned for this loss of life
and property great deal is said to what should
be done and what should not be DONE But scarce
ly hear it said that these explosions due to
an accumulation of Scale in the Boiler and yet eight
out of ten instanc that in midst are I'M
doubtedly due to this cause.
Now, permit me TO say that manufacture Com
position that will readily and thoroughly this
incrustation; and while am constantly sending it
over the United States, exact pay for its
less it gives perfect satisfaction and fus all he
claims make for it.
My preparation will remove Scale from any Boiler
no matter how deep may be the ircrusat on, and at
the same time It will prevent injury to the Boiler
from anything which may be held in solution by the
water contained it, This article will absolutely
prevent the formation of Scale if timely introduced.
The powder which manufacture has been care
fully tested by some of the ablest chemists in the
eountr. and its fitness to keep iron clean and to
pr reserve it has been demonstrated by them in the
most satisfactory manner.
If you will send for my circular with my terms and
full particulars or give me call, think 1 will be
able to convince the most sceptica that this compo-
sition will justify all cl i'm for it.
Very respectfully yours,
