Forty>five years ago, a young St. Louis
steamboat captain was converted by the
Washingtonian movement to temperance
principles. He christeued his boat "Thc
Cold Water" and it made one trip between
his own city and New Orleans. On his
return the other steamers would not suffer it
to enter the harbor until he agreed to have

and his business was exploded until he

Pianos & Organs

On the One Price System.
ONE UNIFORM PRICE to ALL,
AND THAT THE LOWEST
KNOWN.
The usual system of selling Pianos and
Organs is for the dealer TO charge any price
he can get for them without regard to either
fair profit OF the customers interest. But
we are proud to say that this has never been
our method of selling.
For the benefit Of purchasers and to Sc
cure them the full value OF their money, we
established at tie outset Of our business,
tUeLue yedrs since,
The One Price System,
and to this we attribute our immense and
prosperous trade. Selling on this square
basis renders it imperative that the price be
the very lowest one that can be given. We
ARE pledged to this. We always have done
it, and we always will do it. It's our creed
and our practice. No oiher Piano and Or
gan House deals on this principle
Our prices, in plain figures, are placed
on every instrument. A child can buy rs
low as the sharpest trader. All other Hou-
ses have "High prices and give discounts"
trading, and is the only satisfactory way to
buyer and seller; for, on the high price and
discount system, even though the customer
buys, he is not sure that he has bottom
prices.

ARGUMENTATIVE POETRY.

The maiden doffed her shoes and hose and
then, in girlish glee,
She drew her skirts around her, and she Waded
III the sea,
Among the wavelets waded she, for half an
hour or more.
Then, growing weary with the play she tripped
again to shore;
But who shall tell the misery that filled her
heart that day?
The cruel tide had flowed and washed her shoes
and hose awayl
o maidens at Nantasket. at Swampscott, or at
Lynn,
Beware of going wading when the flowing
tide comes in."
--Soneruizte Journal
We never saw maiden 80 happy gay and free,
Pull off her socks and shoes and go wading in
the sea,
But it sorter seems to Us that it would be safe
to say,
1t was the tide allowing out that washed her
things away;
For if the tide was coming in we think it's very
plain
She'd find them on the upper beach when she
came out again.
Then. sitting pensiye on the rocks, and picking
out the sand
Between her ,ootsy tootsy toes, with manner
She'd wait till socks aid shoes were dried; and
If we were about.
We'd try and keep her waiting till the ebbing
iiue Went JLlt,
Cambridge Chronicle.
1t seems to us that when the maiden DOTTED her
shoes and hose
The tide must have been coming IN, for every
body knows
That when the tide is going out it always leaves
the land,
And must recede from objects that are lying on
the strand.
So had tha tide been going out upon that sum-
mer day
It could not have flowed in and washed those
pretty things away.
We doubt not you know moro than us concern
ing hose and shoes.
But we know all about the tides and these,
friend, are our views.

THE BRIGHT SMILE AT THE DOOR

EHE bh1UHI SMILE AA IhE DoOES
When day has almost vanished,
And brightly sets the sun;
When sig o'clock is striking,
And all the work is done;
l fondly wander homeward,
My bosom brimming DER
With joy when discover
The bright smile at the door.
At work what always cheers me?
What makes my spirits light,
When birds sing in the morning,
When stars are out at night!
What gildeth all my visions
And makes my soul explore
Unnumbered happy valleys?
The bright smile at the door.
Oh, where's the charm SO certain
TO lead the wanderer home,
To guide his erring footsteps
Wherever he may roam;
That leads him ever homeward,
From every foreign shore,
A memory e'er ailurlng?
The bright smile at the door.
A gay and loving welcome
May cheer the poorest meal,
A little word of kindness
The sting from grief may steal.
And life to me is fairer
And sweeter than before
Since | have learned to look for
The bright smile at the door.
Oh, wives, where'er your dwelling,
However poor it seem,
You'll make of it a palace
More fair than man can dream,
If only yon'l remember
How much a man sets store
BY loves reward of labor
The bright smile at the door.
