mers preached very effective sermon
and in conclusion alluded to the recent
storm and its results. lie SAID that every
thing was intended for some good, and
that Gods ways were just and perfect,

WE call the special attention of our read,
ers to the advertisement, in another col
umn, of the celebrated Stctf pianos. They
have Justly become the general lavoritcs
of the musical public. Performers like
them on account of their cvencss of touch
and singing quality Of tone. Their finish
is in the highest degree artistic, and their
genera, makeup is not surpassed by that
of any other mandatory i'll this country.
In proof of this, it is scarcely necessary to
revert to the fact, that through the sink
ing of the steamer Louisiana, some time
ago, one of these instruments was sub
merged in the waters of the Chesapeake
Bay, for period of over four months, and
recovered in a remarkable state OF preser-
walton, thus fully establishing the truth of
their assertion, that none but the best ma
terials are used in their construction. Ev-
idence of their durability is further fur
nishcd by their extensive use in tic nu-
merous Sqhsols and otner institutions
where they are subjected to the seycrcst
tests. Weadvise all who wish really
fine instrument to buy the Stief
They are also sole agents for the South
crn States, Of the "Matchlcss Burdctt Or
gans," WHICH stand without Il rival The
gentlemanly courtesy and fair dealing of
the Messrs. Stieh' will be fully appreciated
by all who call upon them.
