PETER ToNKIRs applied for admission
to a Lodge of Good Templars at Widnes,
England. While waiting in the ante
chamber to Learn the result of the ballot,
he did not abstain, as a virtuous teeto-
taller should have done, from listening at
the key-hole. The consequence was he
heard a sister, Directing to his election,
affirm that she had once heard Tonkirs
say he would rather have his right hand
chopped off than join a Lodge of Good
Templars- On hearing this infamous
accusation, Tonkirs, unable to restrain
himself longer, cried out through the
key-hole: cts a lie." Thereupon the
Grand Worthy Secretary, in full regalia,
rushed out and slapped Tonkirs's face.
An action for assault was laid against
the Secretary. and the Justice, bribed NO
doubt by the gold of the liquor-dealers,
fined him e2, with the alternative Of
going to Jail for two months.

The PrOdigal.

Inheritors of vast wealth are p%roverbially
spendthriits. The golden ore is dug from
the mine, refined, and coined, by the labor
of other hands and the sweat of ether brows.
Like childen playing with an expensive TOW,
they can form no Just estimate of its value.
When the donor weighed it he cast into the
balance SO many days OF unremitting and IA
tiguing toll, SO many anxious and sleepless
nights, so much self denial, and SO
much care. But the inheritor into his bal
ance throws only-pleasure. The one, values
it by what it cost him the other for what it
will purchase. Like the prodigal in the
Scripture parable, ne thougntlessly expends
it to crafty the caprice and cravings of his
nature. Then comes the last scene-the
misery, the remOrse, and the long and weari.
some journey back to the home of frugal in
dustry. But there are other prodigals. On
her favorites our bounteous parent, Nature,
has lavished her richest treasure-health.
But the prodigal values it lightly, for it cost
him naught, and recklessly %squanders it in
riotous living. Present pleasure obscures
future want. Soon the curtain rises on the
last scene. We see him helpless, impover.
ished; the rich treasures of body aud mind
all lost; in misery and despair. Remorseful
Conscience holds up to him the mirror of
memory. In his own reckless folly he per-
ceives the cause of his present pain. He re-
solves to return. The journey is long and
tedious, but if he perseveringly follows The
right road, he will at length see the haven
OF his hopes in the distance, and Nature,
seeing her invalid child afar off, will come
out to meet him, and receive him back with
love and blessing. To find the right road
hemeward, the suffering prodigal should

Adviser" Therein it is completely mapped

THE EsrEy ORGAN,

Every organ which leaves the Estey man1fac-
tory, from the little Cottage Gem, with It's four
octave manual and single set Of forty-eight-
reeds, to the Double Bank Pedal Organ, with
seven fun sets of reeds and sixteen stops, bear
the uniform stamp of entire faithfulness m
manufacture. No need to puff such wares 90
nauseum, with flaming advertisements nke q
quack medicine ; no need to push their sales py
c~heapening the price. A simple statement OF
fact is their best recommendation. They are
as perfect as human ingenuity, cars ana sklI
can make them, and are sold at the iowest
price consistent with a fair profit Whenever
improvements are possible they are adopted a.
once, whether in workshop, machinery or instru-
ment. Under such circumstances, it ceases
to be q wonder that the sale OF the
Estey Organ is increasing with such
rapidity, both at home and abroad; and
that enlarged facilities for its production are al
ready necessary, although the Estey establish
ment has been for years the largest reed organ
mandatory in the world. Nine thousand
organs were turned out last year. These organs
represented a business of over one million dol
lars! Such figures are more eloquent in testi-
mony of worth than the most fowery and skill
fully worded sentences.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-01-25

The firm of ]. Estey & Co. is made up Of
MIR. Jacob Estey, his SON, julius J. Estey, and
his son-in-aw, Levi Z. Fuller. Mr.. Estey,
senior, is the veteran reed organ maker Of
America, if not of the world. He begun the
business in Brattleboro', thirty years ago, in h
single room, with six workmen, and has make,
his way constantly forward, in spite of more dis
asters and drawbacks than often attend such
enterprises. This fact is due to the man him.
self. He has made himself, through force OF
honesty, energy, shrewdness and perseverance,.
Flooding on and on, smiling at disasters by fire
and flood, planting his feet resolutely on all
obstacles, with indomitable faith in himsalf and
his work, he has reached q very proud place
among his fellows, while still in the prime of .
hale and vigorous manhood. His executive
ability is great. He knows every detail Of the
vast business and watches its daily progress
But, however absorbed he may be in this direc-
ton, he has never neglected his highest duties
and privileges as a citizen. Always foremost
in everything conducive to the public welfare,
actively interested II affairs OF church, State
and society, his influence has been wide and
good and the cordial esteem he has earned so
honorably waits impatiently for q fitting oppor-
tunity to do him honor in kind.
The younger members Of b firm, who have
been active partners for a decade OF years, had
been trained in the business unoier the tuition
of their senior for some time previous, and the
partnership only served to concen uate their
energies. They are young men OF sterling
natural ability, and seem to have beet, particu-
larly well fitted for the positions assigned them.
Mr.. Julius Estey is at the head of the con tlng-
room and supervises the mathematical imrica-
cies of the immense business with q ~clear-head-
ed faculty that might well be considered p
synonym for uniform correctness. b count
ing-room of a mandatory is where its heart
! beats. Health there means strong and
regular pulsation through all the veins and
arteries Of workshop and torehouse: Nh. Fuller
is at the head of the mechanics Of the concern.
His native talent, stimulated by a thorough
mechanical training, has been invaluable and in
dispensable in the long and uninterrupted Sc
ries of experiments and inventions which, un-
der his ready and intelligent guidance, have
been combined in the complete whole known as
the Estey Organ. Both these gentleman are,
equally with their elder, in the van of every
movement that tends to promote the public
wealth and prosperity ; as reliable, progressive,
faithful and enthusiastic in all such matters as
in their personal affairs. Character stamps
these men as it does their manufactures. Posi-
tive merit is the underlying principle of their
success.
