IT'S an age Of invention. Improvement and skill,
The worlds in commOtiOn, ard nothing is sill !;
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 is awarded prize from the hands
of 4 generous public as merit demands.
So music's department can point, in her pride,
To men of true genius, whose fame has gone
wide
Ger hills and through valleys, in mansions and
and cots.
Well, due are snch honors to ''BeGtty & Plons,
Whose Golden Tongue organ stands first in the
land
The first IA TO merit, and first in demand.
EXcelling in sweetness and richness Of tom.
Surprising all others, and standing alone.
Its worth IS Acknowledged wherevorit is known,
A5 all will bear witness, and checrfUlly one
For equal in workmanship, beauty, design,
Or finish, they challenge the best in the line.
Where faces were gloomy, and hearts once were
What homes are now cheerfui-ycs. happy and
glad.
Continue thy mission, thy song Golden Tongue,
Hath chains Of enchautment for oil and for
young.
Beatty & Piotts' celebrated Golden Tongue
Parlor Organ is acknowledged by eminent pro-
feSsors of music to Be the best ParlOr Organ now

But the editor left fine point of moral philo-

sufficient TO put those "resoutions" into action
Then even some wag might ask whether il is

resolutions and break them, or whether il is the
