With new and redoubled delight.

We arc now comfortably settled in our new
adapted for our largely increasing business
rooms, which gives us n chance to display our
instruments at a much better advantage than
was possible ever before, besides enabling us
to carry very much larger stock of Pianos
and Organs than was ever attempted by any
concern outside the large cities.
The Estey Piano still continues growing in
favor and ii is safe to say that already more
OF them are being used in Rutland than of any
other one make, which is signifinant fact,
considering that 1t is but little more than one
year ago since they were first introduced
here. The Decker Brothers Pianos which
we control, need no comments from us. This
piano stands first among musicians every
where, and everybody knows it, We also
control the Behr Brothers Piano which is well
and tavorably known in this locality. In this
piano is combined all of the best qualities of
other makes, besides possessing several i'm
portant features of its own, which makes it
the most desirable moderate priced piano now
manufactured. We car. full line OF these
pianos and invite comparison. Besides the
pianos mentioned we have number of cheap
er makes which are reliable and give splend-
id satisfaction, and now we can truly say we
are in position where we can defy competi-
ton from any and all sources. We carry a full
line of the world renowned Estey Organs in
their new lsS9 models, with latest improve
ments in design and mechanism, including
very complete, and need only be seen to be
appreciated.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Thought is the seed of action.
Fear is the tax that conscience pays TO
guilt.
The proud are always most provoked
by pride.
Our lives are measured by our works,
not years.
Everything good in man leans on
what is higher.
"Pluck, Patience and Politeness" make
a pretty motto.
Educating the mind is like fertilizing
and tilling the soil.
Flee sloth; for the Incidence of the
soul is the decay of the body.
Memory is ever active, ever true; alas,
if it were only as easy to forget!
We think very few people sensible ex-
cept those who are of our opinion.
Characters never change; opinions al
ter-characters are only developed.
Real happiness is cheap enough, yet
how dearly we pay for its counterfeit.
Were every one to sweep before his
own house, every street would be clean.
Cultivate not only the corntields of
your mind, but the pleasure grounds also.
To have ideas is to gather flowers; to
think is to weave them into garlands.
Every man complains of his memory,
but no man complains of his judgment
Into the composition of every happi
ness enters the thought of having de-
served it,
God is better served in resisting a
temptation to evil than in many form
al prayers.
1t is sad to think how few our pleas
ures really are, and for the which We
risk eternal good.
Happiness can be built on virtue
alone, and must of necessity have truth
for its foundation.
Tears are the softening showers which
cause the seed of heaven to spring up
in the human heart.
1t is difficult to divest ones self of
vanity, because impossible to divest
ones self of Self-love.

SOME one with turn for statistics has
been looking into figures relating to sui
eide, and deducts from them some inter
esting facts. 1t is shown among other
things that self murder is more frequent
among males than among females, and
that it is apt to be hereditary. Suicide
is more common in Paris than in any
other city in the world, there being an
nually one case to every 300 of the pop
ulation. In Sweden there are fewer than
in any other country, averaging one to
every 93,375. In Saxony the crime is
comparatively common, being one to
every 8,446 people. In Russia there is
one to every 34,246, in London and st.
Petersburg one to every 2l,000, and in
the United States one to every $1,000 of
the population. Drink, jealousy, and
monetary troubles are the most potent
causes of suicide.

Husband-O, know there are few

Wife-Yes; and there was Ahab; he

Husband-It is no use talking, Mary
The Bible is history of men. Women
are mentioned only incidentally as they
had influence on the actions of men,
The Book says little about women COM
pared to what it does about men!
Wife (musingly)-You may be right,
John, now when l come to think of it.
There is one thing at any rate, it says
about men that it does not say about
women.
Husband (smilingly)-I thought you
would come to your senses, Mary. What
is it the Book says about men that it
does not say about women?
Wife (placidly) 1t says all men are
liars.

IT is stated that the surplus of the
United States Treasury, which was S1O3,
100000 last year, will not, at the close of
the present fiscal year, amount to k~lf
that sum. 1t is evident that an able

the surplus problem by dint of industri-
