MUSICALE!

Mr.. stephen Grover Of Boston, will
inue his visits to Augusta and vicinity, hereto
fore from time to time TO tune and repair panoorcs,
put them in complete order, when the occasion
demands, at prices proportouate to the amount of
work required, without the necessity ofmoving them
from the house. The subscriber, being IA maker of
puno -fortes, and formerly manufacturer in Bos-
tun and lately six years in the manufactory of Mes
srs, Cbickering 4 Sons, enables him to present to
the musical public entirely different class of work
than has been heretofore introduced. Therefore, if
your piano has become demoralized seemingly
used up, il can be made good new, in tone, action
and durability. by improving this opportunity you
will have a musical instrument worthy of its name,
instead of that imperfect one with which you
deavorng to entertain yourself and friends. Orders
left with l. e. HovEY 4 son, Music Dealers will be
attended to at an early date. The patronage of the
musical public is respectfully solicited.
STEPHEN GROVER, Piano-Forte Maker.

received a note from Nellie, thanking her
| for having decided ia favor of Mr. Grafton.
"For," she said, :" loved Harry at first sight
and would have been disappointed had you
left me to take up with your other admirer,
though agreed to take your rejected"
Six months later she came into the neigh
borhood as Mrs. Murray. But Mira never
called, and they were coldly polite when
they met.
Grafton married lady in middle life.
but Mira still walks alone, having buried
her love years ago.
Harry, discontented unhappy creature,
looks like an old man, at forty.

Dem fohty acahs and dat mool,

Muss be or dis chile is fool,
Somewhar about de land.

And fotch us out de wood.
Dem fohty acahs sounded nice:
Dat mool--we heard him squeal;
But all de land is in wise,
De mool hain't showed his heel.
Its mighty hahd to sand de rents,
Wild cotton gittin' cheap,
And den de bill OBJ de expents
Leabs all behind heap.
Dem fohty acahs and dat mool
Amt only in de air,
Dey muss be-wish I'd been to school
Up In de Norf somewhar.

Up in de Norr is whar Ise gwine,

And stay whar you was bawn;
It's muffin but machines dey take,
Up dar to make de Gavin.
Don't fool yousef about no such,
Mind wot de ole man say
Dey likes de brack man berry much,
But likes him far away.
"You better worry here, you bet,
Long wild de cotton land;
De Norf is cold, but coldah yet
